  Masks are used to conceal the truth and exhibit lies.People like to follow success but fail to recognise the unusual adjustments that lay under the wraps of the mask. As all that glitters is not gold similarly behind the smiles there is gloom and darkness. At times masks represent strength,power and unlimited courage to its owner but deprives solace.  Our superheroes are men and women with unlimited courage but in them there are few who are mere preposterous. They have the hunger for success without labour.Mask steals innocence and replaces it with evil.  It's a deal with the monster and you can't back out once it's signed. The safest way out is to limit its use and go unmasked .

  Deep down your heart have you ever taken an inward journey to find out about yourself ? We take pride in knowing so many things about almost everything. In the digital age nothing seems far. The world and the universe appears to be so much familiar to us but we  remain aloof from knowing and acquainting our own self. The other day I heard from a techno savvy person that Google knows you more than you know about yourself. I pondered for a while and agreed with what he said. Looking at Alexa I thought about a new relationship between human and machine. We are outsourcing most of our work to the machine and parting away with many of our skills .Our new acquaintances with machine learning, playing and working have filled the vacuum of the best buddy in our life. It has also conquered our brain leaving it unemployed  with most of its activities. Over the time we have turned our oldest acquaintance our shadow as the stranger seldom we look at it. Slowly and steadily this mach...

Evaluation .                       EVALUATION 7 Evaluation is the stage that comes after learning has completed, it places us on the spectrum that shows whether learning has taken place or not. It shows those grey areas where the teacher and the learner both have to put equal efforts to excel. Of course every learner and their teachers wants to be on the positive side of the spectrum as it shows their efficiency and effectiveness. It has been often noticed that the mad race among the learners is not for knowledge but for the acknowledgement that they have successfully completed the race. The curiosity and urge for learning is taking backstage that's where the process takes place but unfortunately the refinement process is often considered secondary and what matters is the ultimate product ( clearing the exams). Whether evaluation is really necessary? Many philosophers are of the view that it's not at all necessary. But the pra...

Breaking News Watching news on television is one of my favourite  pastime activities. With the advent of various social media platforms I enjoy keeping myself updated with the latest developments. Of late I am grappling with few questions like : 1) Are all media interpretations always real or are they just one sided interpretations and far from the reality? 2) Is all news  always "breaking news" ? 3) What difference does it make by adding background music to every news bite? 4) Does adding sensational elements to the news make it more marketable? Above mentioned questions sometimes make me more curious to know the truth but I am aware of the fact that these so-called questions are in fact the commercial practices followed by almost every news agency to survive in the business. In the name of commercialisation have the facts been distorted? Why only certain segments of society receive attention while the vast majority of  the section in the society is always left uncovere...

The New Normal The term new normal is the most talked about topic in recent times . I would  like to compare it with a hot cake   but with unclear ingredients and procedure to  list out. People speak about it in length but fail to establish a clear cut theory about what exactly is the New Normal. The antonym of normal is abnormal and yes we are in the midst of abnormal situations and every individual is facing the brunt of this abnormality. Be it the physical,financial,social and psychological it has been indeed very difficult to cope up with the abnormality. No one knows when we are going to break this shell of abnormality and come out like a winner or is this a very long ending saga ? If it is true then we all cannot fit into one umbrella of the New Normal because every individual has a different level of knowledge, attitude and skills hence our possessions are different and so are our requirements. First and foremost one needs to accept the fact , look within for what...
