Is cash-free society an ideal one? I don’t think so. We need cash as one of the medium of exchange. Why? Think about a calamity or a disaster when the internet or the ATM are down, even for a couple of days.

Though I had a desire to visit the Kingdom of Nepal since May 1983 when I came to Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim, on transfer from Cuttack in Orissa (now Odisha), I was not able to fulfil it for various reasons.

The Rohingya people are Muslim Indo-Aryan peoples from the Rakhine State, Myanmar. According to Rohingyas and some scholars, they are indigenous to Rakhine State, while other historians claim that they migrated to Myanmar from Bengal primarily during the period of British rule in Burma, and to a lesser extent, following Burmese independence in 1948 and the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. International media and human rights organizations have often described Rohingyas as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world, while origin of that term with relation to the United Nations is still unclear. As of December 2016, 1 in 7 stateless persons worldwide are Rohingya as per United Nations figures on statelessness.

Cho is no more and we have lost a precious member of our community. The satirists and applesauce writers of the world pay our deepest heartfelt condolence to ourselves in this moment of grief. It is a humongous lost for all of us. When a political leader passes away all the politicians across party lines pay their last respect and tribute to the departed. My goodness! It was amazing to see the lavish coverage of the death of a legendary lady of Poes Garden. Whenever you switch on news channels, all of them carried the same.

We have been seeing hills and mountains. Though we see more hills around us there are mountains too. A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level. Because of the less hospitable terrain and climate, mountains tend to be used less for agriculture and more for resource extraction and recreation, such as mountain climbing.

With less than three weeks for the current incumbent to retire from service, the India government has still not appointed the new Chief of the 1.4 million strong Indian Army. The government claims it does not want alternate power centres. Certain other sources feel that a long pending demand for a Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) is being considered, and the delay is due the decision in this regard. A third school of thought revolves around the internecine struggle for power within the army itself.

In other words though the National Highway is vested with the Central Government, vide the provisions of National Highway Act, 1953 as well as the Control of National Highways (Land and Traffic) Act, 2003, the control and safety of traffic over such highway lies squarely with the Highway administration as may be appointed / designated by the Central Government who has to take the help of the state police in case, force is to be used for a proper and safe flow of traffic on National Highways.

The Central Committee of the United National Liberation Front of Manipur was formed on 24 November 1964, nearly a year after the creation of Nagaland. By this account, it qualifies as one of the oldest insurgent groups in India and possibly in South-east Asia as well. The NSCN (I-M) and NSCN (K) and their clones appeared in only about 1976. The UNLF was the first rebel group to question the concept of the Indian nation state.

“Amma!” Mother, that is how the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Jayalalithaa, (mind you, it is a double ‘a’) was fondly and reverently addressed by the devoted cadres of her party, the All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. She preferred being addressed so, that was the point. Dravida Munntera Kazhagam can be seen prefixed or suffixed to the name of many parties in Tamil Nadu; it means just that it is an organization (kazhagam) for the development/welfare (munnetra) of Dravidans, believe me! The morning after her passing away, I woke up with bleary eyes.

Water conservation means using our water wisely and caring for it properly. Since each of us depends on water for life, it is our responsibility to learn more about water conservation and how we can help keep our water pure and safe for generations to come. Since we all enjoy the benefits of having pure, clean water, we must help conserve water so that we may continue to enjoy these benefits. Water is life because plants and animals cannot live without water. Water is needed to ensure food security, feed livestock, maintain organic life, take up industrial production and to conserve the biodiversity and environment.

Do you sometimes get mad with your own life? Sometimes you feel that you brain is not working out for any plans and you feel like you are born foolish. Life is not always about looking for plans, it’s just about trusting yourself, taking a deep breath and see what happens. Don’t busy your mind by hearing all those voices telling you that, “You can’t do it.” There is someone inside you; your heart, telling you that, “You can do it,” listen to him only.

Out of 7 billion people around the world, over 1 billion people have some form of disability, that’s 1 in 7. There are more than 100 million disabled persons are children and children with disabilities are almost four times more likely to experience violence than non-disabled children. It is interesting to know that 80% of all people with disabilities live in a developing country and 50% of disabled persons cannot afford health care. So far 153 countries signed the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. These facts tells us how important is to take up the issue and work for solution. I have been discussing an issue which is related to disability in all my youth programmes. Whenever I talk of education as career then I mention about special education and its importance. We must make a society inclusive of all where every human being could get their rights.
