The Story Of Ramesh And Suresh (PART 1)

It was a hot Sunday afternoon in which two friends Ramesh and Suresh of seventh Grade were roaming on the outskirts of Kolkata City on a bicycle...

"It's quite hot today, what do you think?" asked Ramesh wiping sweat from the face with his shirt and riding his bicycle.
"Yes, It's parching! I think we should take some rest and have some snacks and colas" said Suresh sitting in the back seat.
"Of course! How much money you have brought with you?" asked Ramesh
"I haven't brought any money(abusing). I thought you're going to bring it as you've invited me for this crap. I was better off resting at my home." said Suresh (losing his temperament)
"Calm down! Why are you getting upset? We're enjoying, aren't we?" asked Ramesh
"I'm not enjoying at all," said Suresh

[Silence]

"Today I'll show you the art of enjoying food without money," said Ramesh
"What? I didn't understand" Suresh frowned
"You'll just enjoy the food without spending a single penny on it," said Ramesh
"Is the shopkeeper your Uncle?" asked Suresh
"Haha! No, he's not, I'll trick him to get a free Samosa said Ramesh excitedly
"What? Are you going to do something wrong?" asked Suresh
"Neither of us has money but both of us are hungry terribly. So we must have to take a risk" said Ramesh
"Risk? You're scaring me! What're you going to do? asked Suresh
"We'll eat just like a normal customer and then after eating we'll run at full speed to avoid from being busted," said Ramesh
"You're totally mad. I'm not going to do this crap. Mom'll murder me if she came to know" said Suresh hesitatingly
"Are you crazy? How'll she come to know? Relax!" said Ramesh
"Whatever, I'll not take stoop to stealing," said Suresh
"It's not stealing, it's an art when you can enjoy food even when you are short of money. It needs courage and skills to trick people," said Ramesh [boasting].
"You're explaining stealing as if it's a great work," said Suresh
"Are you going to do it or we should take a U-turn?" asked Ramesh
"Well we're hungry but don't have a single penny and we've to go a long way to home. Let's try it!" said Suresh
"That's called courage! It's going to be a great day" said Ramesh

Protecting Daughters from Gender Discrimination and Dowry System

What is dowry? Casually, some of us find this as a traditional custom of bribing the groom and their family by bride's parents to get rid of their daughter. Or some of us may consider this as buying of groom by bride's parents through a bidding process. We as a part of Indian society are infamous for dowry and its related offences. When a daughter is born, most of the Indian families don't find that joy a son could have given them. Some of them get depressed after finding out the gender of newborn baby. Having a daughter is a burden to them, mostly, because of the social phenomena like dowry. We make noise and protest against corruption. But we never go through its roots and make substantive changes to uproot it. What is the reason for the corrupt officials to take such risks? The dowry is not the "only" but a good and considerable reason to hoard money through corrupt practices. No media has more reach to our society than Bollywood movies. In the plethora of...

The Indian Society And The Struggle Of Our Sports Fraternity

India, the world’s second-most populous nation, fails to show its dominance in sports. In fact, India's performance remains terrible except in few games. So, what's holding India back when it comes to competing in world sporting events like the Olympics? First, it's the conservative Indian mindset of the Indian society. You might be aware of the saying in India “ Padhoge likhoge banoge Nawab, kheloge kudoge banoge kharab ” which translates to “You can be a king if you study, can be spoilt if you play games.” Social life of a person who took the plunge of making a career in sports in India can be challenging and demotivating. An Indian parents or teachers, being part of the society, don't consider sports as a career. They have the biggest influence in a child's future ambitions. They may scold the child that “playing a sport will get you nowhere in life, but to make a life you need to be good in academics”. In other words, young Indians are discouraged from playing s...

Indian Olympians In Their Pursuit Of Gold

In the Olympics, Gold medal is something which is glorified and celebrated from its intrinsic value as only the top performers of their relevant sports get to hold it. Every Olympian sees gold in their fantasy while getting trained for a particular sport. In case they miss it, they need to wait for years to reattempt and compete for the top position with the young entrants of the world. That must be exhaustive and tiring task. Four years only sounds small interval. However, only those who are mentally strong can wait, train and compete again. It's certainly not a child's play. Never before has the Indians took so much interest in sports such as Javelin throw. The cricket loving nation was mapping the distance of Javelin thrown by Neeraj Chopra with great enthusiasm. Because for the nation lacking Olympics gold medal, Neeraj was the last hope of securing it. 23-year-old Neeraj Chopra was born in an agricultural family in Panipat, Haryana. The Javelin thrower, in his childhood...

Wake Up And Chase Your Dream Even If You Have To Move Abroad

At a certain point in life, we dream of moving abroad in search of better career opportunities, gain experiences, or to improve quality of life. However, it is not an overnight process; we have to face many challenges in the course of its preparation, from the very beginning, to which we find ourselves stuck and the dream remains unfulfilled. Living with a dream that cannot be fulfilled mixed with regrets is one of the most depressing feelings in the world. On several occasions, it all happens because of a foreign language. English is a cool language. It is important no doubt but it is foreign to many of us, if not most. It need not be replaced with mother tongue or native languages, but it is indispensable especially for those who aspire to go abroad for work or study. A great mathematician or a stalwart of a technical field —those who are called nerds— can eventually fail, if he is unable to express his works in the language people can understand. To reach out to th...

Gangubai - The Oldest but Youngest Sarpanch of Pune

Gangubai Nivrutte Bhambure gets up at 5 am to do household chores. She is a 94-year-young sarpanch of Bhamburwadi village and holds the distinction of becoming oldest sarpanch in Pune district. Gangubai believes in hard work. She says it's time to work for the people, her people, otherwise it's of no use of her becoming a sarpanch . She says she will not disappoint them who trusted and endowed her with the chair of the sarpanch . The first task would be to help farmers from seven villages who own 1000 hectares of land, but due to lack of water, they can't grow anything on it. According to Gangubai's grandsons, there is a canal less than 2km from these farms but they don't get a drop of water. The government had failed the people. Gangubai is keen to take PM's help in this matter and she is very optimistic that PM will respond to her request. She says that PM Narendra Modi is like her son and he will definitely help her and the farmers. Her other priorit...

The One And Only Viru

Virender Sehwag came as a nightmare for any bowlers, regardless of his pace, spin or looks. The madness of the bowler after taking his wicket could be easily seen on the field. It was a kind of mixed reaction of happiness and spewing out the frustration built by Sehwag. But the dignity of this champion, I presume, is not preserved in the way he retired. The BCCI should have given him a match in which his retirement should be officially announced. We can say that he has taken a right decision because a player of such class can't play Ranji and IPL all his life, well nobody can play even international cricket all his life. He as a youngster played and entertained us to the fullest. Sehwag had represented India in 104 test matches and 251 in ODI with the top score of 319 and 219 respectively. He holds multiple records including the highest score made by an Indian in test cricket, 319 against South Africa, which was also the fastest triple century in the history of International ...
