"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." — Martin Luther King, Jr. MLK Jr said this decades ago. But still today, in this 21st century, hatred is prevalent in our society. A large number of people are directly engaged to spread hatred. And the rest of us, who are completely against this hate campaign, are in oblivion. We don't know what to do, how to confront this monstrous, abhorrent campaign. Recently, on 14th February, 2019, Jaish-e-Mohammed, a militant group attacked a convoy of CRPF personnel in Jammu and Kashmir...
Have you ever casually scroll through your socials and find a post with tons of arguments beneath it? Happens every day. Although sometimes we may not interfere, it’s not at all easy to avoid getting your insides heated as well. I’ll start by stating what i perceived myself, the roots of these controversial posts and comments that exist anywhere. By anywhere I mean even a random post on common decency and basic human rights. Sheesh. So, why the fuss though? We can kinda agree, that any sort of stance a commenter, or post seems to have, politically, religious or cultural can be visible as they...
Living the American nightmare is what the residents of Flint have been experiencing in the last few years, the water crisis that hit the city having long-term repercussions on the health of inhabitants, in severe cases even leading to deaths. When disaster hit, no one was prepared for the disappointing explanations and the course of action taken at the time, a poor decision-making process leading to a basic return to the middle ages for this once beautiful city in the United States. Some were lucky enough to not rely on the water treatment provided by the municipality, to begin with, but most...

When you're a child, you used to cry over things such as tripping and falling. Some cry from the searing pain in their leg or even at the mere sight of blood. But someone was always there; to bandage your wounds and wipe your tears away. Easily empathizing, they could see the physical pain your delicate body was being put in. But as children get older, the societal pressures of life tend to mess with their psyche. Unfortunately, these teenagers feelings are being overlooked and glossed over with the excuse "You're just a teenager, what could you possibly be upset about?". Teenagers are in an...
HIV/AIDS continues to be a significant global health issue, having claimed over 32 million lives so far. 38 million people in the world were living with HIV at the end of 2019. It's been about 50 years we've known about this fatal disease. But things were a little different back then. Let's go down the memory lane, shall we? It is believed to have originated in the 1920s, around a century ago. But it was not known and transmission did not involve any noticeable symptoms. It was not until the 1980s when it started to get noted and symptoms were being tied to the disease. The first cases...
It is estimated that over 40% of South African women will be raped in their lifetime. Gender based violence is at the highest we have ever seen in our country and in the world. This closely showing the imbalance that lies between men and women. Men have so much power in our country that they feel entitled to a women’s body. I have gone through all the emotional stages, first I experienced sadness for the girls who had been raped and murdered at the hands of men. Then I became fearful for my life and the final stage was one of anger. I was angry at our government and every single member of...
There is no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted each of our lives. It has been more than a year since the first cases were identified and communicated to the public, while it spread around the globe at an incredibly rapid pace. Today, everyone is eager to go back to live their lives freely, without worries of getting themselves nor their loved ones sick. Thankfully, scientists have given us a solution to this pandemic: COVID-19 vaccines. The different types of COVID-19 vaccines were made in record time thanks to previous research, a never-before-seen number of resources to fund...
‘I want to just take a quick second to ask you, Are you really ok? It’s easy to just brush off the question And continue to go about your day. But I see the tiredness in your eyes. I guess it’s not something you need to say. I wish you would know that I am always here, Before it becomes too late.’ Me…Instagram – (@Words.Of.S) As humans, I guess we have the tendency to keep things to ourselves. However, with these exact thoughts, we unknowingly summon the feelings of loneliness and may eventually see ourselves as a burden to ourselves. Why? Why do we continue to inflict this pain upon ourselves...
My biggest hope is for all of us to lead a carefree, brightened future, not having to lose the right of having enough food and more importantly the right to stay nutritious. Just as the sayings do “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, it is high time we, children value nature especially agriculture for the sake of our whole immunity as well as well-being, favorably needed in times of fighting back pandemics (Covid-19,for instance). Just as the green plantation, nature’s gift of resources such as land, water should be sustained. It is no doubt we, children should pass on this heavy duty...
I know that myself, something bothers me and that even in myself. But what exactly bothers me, I didn't know for a long time. That's why I'm telling you my story now, how I managed to love and accept myself: I started to sit down and go through my whole life in my mind. What has strengthened me? And what has weakened me? I wrote this down in a book, where I often collect my feelings and thoughts. On the basis of these notes I could see what I liked, but the points I liked were very important and I put them in the foreground. Through this I started to accept myself better! I also realized that...
Have you ever felt irritated without any reason? Have you ever sensed an empty feeling of being all alone? Have you ever cried out of anger? Children often seek support and love from their parents when they can't handle their emotions. But these days parents are unable to handle their emotions in front of children. Instead, they are imposing restrictions and conditions, which is creating pressure for children. There are many families across the world where children feel suppressed and get into depression because of their parents. Children are very tender and emotionally unstable, all that a...
In India, people don't talk about Mental Health a lot. It is still kind of a myth among people. Though according to WHO, India has one of the largest populations affected by mental health and named India 'the world's most depressing country', people's attitudes toward the issue aren't helping matters. In India, People with mental illness are categorized by society as "lunatics." This adds to a destructive cycle of the patient's guilt, pain, and loneliness. Because of the shame associated with mental illness, families continue to keep those who show visible symptoms of mental illness hidden...
This story started when everything was shut down, Even people's heart, life and brain. Everyone was running after food, water and oxygen. And the suddenly everything went back to normal, The party was on, the travellers couldn't resist anymore. Wanderlust they say but stupidity seems now. It only got better and stronger. Covid-19 is back and carries much more than we expected. The story which seemed to be closed has got new pages to it. The sequel has just began with more plots and twists, Which is written by none other than "us". But aren't we the writers? So we could stop this too. The world...
