Here I am, Safa Salsabeel  to elevate your knowledge regarding skills required for the  21st Century. Firstly, I would like to draw your attention by asking, "What are the skills required for 21st Century?"  The 21st Century skills are the seeds which should be sown and grown in a student's life.

You are an independent woman of stature                                                                  and grace You have beautiful eyes and a lovely face.

A Wake up Call on Sleep

Image
 Hey Readers! Hope you are doing good. Here I am Safa Salsabeel, to elucidate all about Sleep. I was pretty sleepy this morning, as I woke up pretty early and so, I wanted to crawl down in bed and I took a siesta . I gained full energy and I started the day. Firstly, I would like to trigger you with a question. How many hours of sleep did you get last night?  Five, three or maybe you did not sleep at all last night. It's very normal in binge watching Netflix episodes , reading or staying up chatting with friends basically doing anything but not sleeping. Correct me, if I am wrong but sleep is often seen as time wasted or lost forever . Those who want to make something of themselves in life, cut down on sleep. The national average sleeping in Japan is 5 hours and 59 minutes, Saudi Arabia 6 hours and 8 minutes, India 6 hours and 20 minutes. An average adult has to sleep atleast 7 and half hours every night. It is recommended to sleep like a log but the reality, is some will not ...

Women Empowerment

 Hey  Readers! Hope you are doing great. Here I am Safa Salsabeel here to elucidate regarding "  Women Empowerment". Nearly a century has passed, and despite the multidimensional growth that India has achieved since, his concerns remain relevant even today. Although women constitute almost half of India’s population of 1.2 billion, they are largely excluded from participating in economic activities and decision-making, as well as access to resources of health, nutrition, education, etc. This exclusion and discrimination is reflected in low female labour force participation rates, with India recording a meagre 22.3% in 2021 in comparison with 30.3% in 1990. I feel that this ship has sailed ,when I start pondering that women account for approximately 432 million, about 343 million are not in paid formal job roles or work. An estimated 324 million of them are not in the labour force; and another 19 million are part of the labour force but not employed. Hence, the nature of e...

Brain Drain and It's Impact

Hey readers.I am Safa. Hope you are doing good.Today, I am going to elucidate about  brain drain. A few weeks back Indian born techie replaced Jack Dorsey as CEO of twitter and at the same time Indian born economist  was promoted as the first deputy managing director of the IMF. They  both have added their names to a growing list at the prominent global  organisation. It can be looked from two perspectives. On one hand, people believe something to feel proud and Indians are successful  in foreign countries. On the other hand, people have named it as “BRAIN DRAIN”. You may be awed! "Do Indians build brand names or do they represent the lost Indian talent?" Yes, you might feel staggered to hear that since 2016, six lakh Indians have given up their citizenship and since 2014, 23,000 millionaires have left India. India is the second most populous country where talent is something that it has in abundance and it should not really be such a big deal. Yet, it is limiti...

CLIMATE CHANGE IS A CATASTROPHE WAITING TO HAPPEN AND NOT A TECHNICAL CHALLENGE TO OVERCOME

Hey Readers! Hope you are doing great! Here I am Safa Salsabeel  to reflect upon the topic, "CLIMATE CHANGE IS A CATASTROPHE WAITING TO HAPPEN AND NOT A TECHNICAL CHALLENGE TO OVERCOME". Before you  ponder upon the topic, let me begin with a quote, " Arise,  Awake and Stop Not till the goal is reached."                echoes, Swami Vivekananda Firstly,  let me elucidate, what exactly is climate change? Climate change is a long term alteration of temperature and a typical weather pattern in a place. Climate hazards are natural events in weather cycle, we have also had hurricanes, droughts,  wildfires, flooding and high wind. However, we are currently witnessing a scale of annihilatory that is, new and dreadful.  Let me register in your minds that, “Nature has everything for everyone’s need and nothing for anyone’s greed.”On the contrary, I feel, subdued to say, last year alone we have seen a devastating climate disaste...

STEPS TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS

 Hey  readers! Hope you are doing great and  you would be eager to read my next blog after a long time . Before, I explore about the topic, I would like to bring to limelight a small poem as an introduction for my topic.  Can’t you hear my silent screams? They are so loud that they echo in my dream. Behind the face that carries a smile, Lies a dark road that goes on mile after mile. My silent screams have been going on for years, But it always falls on so many deaf ears. How can they hear that silent screams in their mind? They can’t hear my thoughts if I keep telling that I am fine. What can I tell them?  These silent screams carry no words. It’s just feeling of sadness and darkness that come in its herds, How can I explain so people understand this? It’s like walking around a suffocating black mist. I can’t explain how this feels, it’s so extreme, So, I hold my mouth shut to cover my silent screams. After reading this, I hope that you would have presumed it’s ...
