Education - A Weapon

“ Education is the key to unlocking the world, passport to freedom”                                                     Oprah Winfrey What separates humans from animals is the ability of humans to write, read, learn and teach .

"UP the Creek without PaDdLe"




The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic across the globe has put the economy of our country in a shambles. Waving the safety protocols aside will worsen the blossomed hope of recovery and our negligence and irresponsible attitude towards dealing with this pandemic will only agggrevate the situation further. Simply, burying our heads in the sand is not the way out. It's merely fiddling around while the Rome burns. Instead , being a responsible citizen of the country, we ought to saddle ourselves with responsibility of following the guidelines of the central and state government. The war is with an invisible enemy and all the citizens of the country need to shoulder the responsibility of fighting with this nefarious enemy at the individual level.



As the saying goes,Responsibility finds ways and irresponsibility makes excuses. In order to keep the virus at bay and emerge victorious in this unprecedented warlike situation , all the citizens should follow the guidelines related to social distancing and wearing mask with utmost sincerity and not put it on the shelf. Vaccine will be soon knocking at our doors, but at this juncture we must not brush aside the safety norms, which is the need of the hour. The onus is not lowering the guards and fighting with the virus , seeking a prosperous future ahead for the entire mankind. To save the mankind, we have to be humane rather than human. Our negligence and let go approach will jeopardize the gains achieved by imposing stringent lockdowns. In a nutshell, "You cannot go back and change the beginning,but you can start from where you are and change the end" , so beware a small mistake can ruin the situation.

More than 2,00,000 girls are killed each year especially in U.P. and Bihar as compared to other cities. Several religious, social, financial and emotional factors are the reasons behind the female foeticide. Most of the parents prefer son to girl because they think they have to pay a big amount as dowry at the time of marriage and also believe that tha son will carry the name of their family in future while girls will get married a day and will have a separate family.
