Dear Ma, <\/p>
Thank you. <\/p>
\nThank you for always being there for me. For always trying to keep me safe, happy and sane. Thank you for those warm hugs and pats on my back when I needed them the most. Thank you for exerting yourself for my big days and those nail biting sessions on the day of my results. The one who had to be worried, i.e I, used to snuggle up in bed and you stayed awake all night long, unable to sleep.<\/p>

DAKAR (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A drive by NASA to stream climate data to West African nations using its earth-observing satellites could boost crop production in a region hit hard by climate change, experts say.\n\nNASA last week launched a hub in Niger's capital Niamey that will use space-based observations to improve food security and better manage natural disasters, said Dan Irwin, manager of the SERVIR project, named after the Spanish word meaning \"to serve\".\n\nThe project, which will cover Burkina Faso, Ghana, Senegal and Niger, is one of four regional hubs worldwide, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).\n\n\"The model is demand driven,\" said Irwin, who describes SERVIR's vision as \"connecting space to village\". NASA performed a study in the region two years ago and found that governments either did not have good data, or were not using it, he added.\n\nThe Sahel is one of the most vulnerable regions in the world to climate change, where rising temperatures and increasingly erratic rainfall are wreaking havoc on farmers, disrupting food production, and fuelling widespread hunger and malnutrition.<\/p>"}]
Google's poll for Android N's name has come to an end.Google announced that the latest version of Android will be named Android Nougat. The company had previously announced the developer preview build for the same in March this year.Even though it\u2019s going to be a while till you receive the Android N update, Here are the top features you need to look out for in Android 7.0.<\/p>
1.Night Mode:<\/u><\/b><\/p>
This feature will allow users to have the option to switch to a darker color scheme after sunset, if the white color scheme is unpleasant. There is an option to automatically switch to Night Mode after the sun sets in your particular area.<\/p>
2.Doze Mode:<\/u><\/b> <\/p>
Google is making changes to the Doze mode in Android Nougat. Previously, in Android Marshmallow 6.0, the Doze mode would not be triggered when it was kept in the pocket. With the new update, this feature will be activated when the screen is turned off. Hence, it will save upon more battery.<\/p>
3.Virtual Reality(VR):<\/b><\/u><\/p>
The company is also launching a brand new platform called Daydream. However, to use the new Android-powered platform, smartphones will need to be Daydream-certified along with the appropriate sensors. At the moment, Google is working on VR-versions of apps such as YouTube, Photos and others. <\/p>
4. Notification Bar:<\/b><\/u><\/p>
<\/b><\/u>The Notifications bar has been completely redesigned. It will aim to offer notifications with a single minimalized row of settings icons. Additionally, users can also long press a notification and choose whether they would like to block them or display them.<\/p>"}]
JUDO <\/b>is a sport that has always inspired me in my life. The most universal fear that everyone has since birth is the fear of falling . Falling in life, falling in their career or just tripping and falling and Judo first teaches you how to fall. First learn how to fall and then attack. It is a belief in Judo that,<\/p>
<\/b><\/p>
\"By taking throws time after time, one must learn how to take falls and overcome the fear of being thrown. Then one will become unafraid of being attacked and be able to take the initiative in attack.\"<\/b><\/p>
<\/b> Ukemi<\/b>, is the method of falling that is taught in Judo.<\/b>Not just taught but, practised everyday.<\/b> So, in order to succeed in life we must first learn how to fall . Fall as many times you have to. Fall till you know all the ways that you can fall. That way no one can knock you off your feet again.<\/p>
That is what happened to me during the MASTER ORATOR CHAMPIONSHIP .<\/b> Getting through the Qualifier round felt like a piece of cake but once I entered the Semi Finale I was surrounded by people who have been working ten times harder than me . And after \"royally\" goofing up my semi finale speech , I felt bad for a while , I even regretted showing up for the contest. But , once the next contestant started his speech I sat up straight and said to myself \" Its okay , its not the end of the world. There will be a next time. I am at fault for not practising enough\" . <\/b>This is me learning how to fall. Now I know one way that I can fall and how I can avoid it next time. <\/p>
This was just the first time and like they say \" The first pancake is always a failure<\/b>\" . So, 'MASTER ORATOR CHAMPIONSHIP', this is not farewell, I will be back . bigger , better and stronger. So, watch out. Until then, Ciao<\/b>!<\/p>

I stood there staring at her till it seemed almost as if I couldn't even recognize her anymore. Coward<\/i>, I thought to myself bitterly. That's all you are and all you ever will be.<\/i> I trusted you. I put my faith in you. I loved you so much I turned a blind eye to your faults. Yet, your jagged edges and sharp words only tore me down leaving splinters on my soul. My confidence, my pride and my integrity lay shattered around me. An emotion too strong for words wells within me, my world is reeling, my breathing erratic and yet I know that this is not the end. This is not the end. \"<\/i>You think you've won, don't you? You think I'll just sit here wallowing in self-pity? You're wrong. I might be broken now, but I'll grow even stronger and when I do you'll be right here to see it.\" I turned my back on her knowing that even though the path ahead might be difficult, it would be the one I chose for myself.<\/p>
\"You would leave me<\/i> behind? After all we have been through together? \" Her voice rang my ears.\"How would you face the world alone? You and I must co-exist. We were meant for each other. What will you do when all this bubble of confidence bursts? You'll confide in your friends? Look how well that turned out already. Your family will support you? Their good intentions can only scratch at the surface of your troubles. When all is said and done, I'm all you have now, isn't it? I'm your determination drudging into despair, I'm your commitment clouding into confusion, I'm your best friend and your worst nightmare. \" <\/i><\/p>
My stomach becomes a gnawing pit of turmoil. It seems as if I am bound to her by blood and I cannot escape. The whirlwind of emotions I so carefully caged within me are set free and I'm being taken in by storm.Crunch. <\/i>A shooting pain ran up my arm that my rage filled mind could only faintly register. I slowly look up at her, the broken glass pieces reflecting my own tear-stricken face. Yet, for the first time I didn't see my cowardly eyes reflected back at me. I saw hope in their depths. You were right,<\/i>I said to myself in the mirror. I was my own best friend, but I'm also my own worst nightmare. That's the last I ever saw of the her<\/i> in the mirror again and I'm all the better for it.<\/p>

Paradoxes are often what make life<\/span> interesting. They add just the right amount of dilemma to the routine of life as we know it. They give us that little nudge in the direction of questioning ourselves once in a while, arousing a curiosity that may have abandoned us, partly, sometime between when our allotment of shits to be given ran out and when our minds became dulled by monotony. <\/p> The infamous time<\/span> paradox has been greatly discussed in scientific papers and pop culture alike. Time fascinates everybody, irrespective of culture, age, religion, and whatever other barriers we've created among ourselves. Time just flows. It smooths things over, sometimes wrinkles them. It offers retrospect, sometimes ending in sweet nostalgia, sometimes in bitter regret. Time is so invariably a part of our lives, and yet it exists separate from us- on a lofty plane of existence that we can't really understand fully. <\/p> Time alters the very face of the earth, moving mountains and carving canyons, but its strongest power, in my belief, is the way it alters the perspective of a human heart. \nThe human heart itself is a paradox sometimes. It becomes more<\/span> fragile with trust, and hardens itself when that trust breaks. The time paradox has a way of intensifying this paradox until we stand and look upon our heart in perspective. Do some people really change with time? Or were they always that way when we knew them, only that we didn't have enough time to discover their true nature? Have they \"changed\" only because time has altered our perspective? Were they way they were because they hadn't had the experiences that moulded them yet? Did time allow them to have those experiences, or was it fate playing a lone hand? Does the amount of time we have a reflection of a person's imprint upon our heart, or is it just a matter of that person changing of their own accord? \nThe time paradox also intensifies introspection - was our judgement lapse or has time truly changed them? Did time allow them to discover themselves or did time cheat us out of discovering them? <\/p> Regardless of who you apply this to, or what situation you face, time follows no logic that we can ever understand. Are you right to think you can't judge too quickly, or are you right to think first impressions successfully evade the web of time<\/span>? Understanding another human is an art unto itself, and there is no skill that precedes it. Because: does time always tell in the end? Or did time lead you on a wild goose chase? <\/p> The fascination we have with time reveals its cruelty too - the way we let ourselves be absorbed into the intricacies of time, only to find that the time we lost will never return. \nAnd even that is a paradox. <\/p>"}]

I often wonder how failure shatters us and how much we panic even though we have an inherent quality to overcome the fear. Remember how we learnt walking and cycling? Falling several times while learning how to walk and peddle was common. But the sad part is from our childhood days we are made to believe that winners get the rewards and losers are jeered. Our scriptures and mythological tales also suggest that messengers of God had to fail before the ploys of the demons until truth came to light.<\/p>
In my opinion failure is not an alternative term for success but is a hurdle that comes on our way to the finishing line(Success).For a theist failure is an ultimate test kept by god to test your will power, you have within you to reach our success.Whereas, for atheist, he sees failure as a temporary setback on a bigger,more significant course.<\/p>
However, in what way you see the failure doesn't matter really. But what you have learned and how you have rectified your mistakes truely matters.In some occasions failure seems to be an end of road,but with great courage,determination and hardwork we can achieve success like many heroes did. For example, Abraham Lincoln,Steve Jobs,Bill Gates,Milton Hershey, and many more have failed not just once but many times. However , with great passion they succeeded in their respective fields. They are many such more heroes in our neighborhood , in your street , in your family who have used failure as a stepping stone to their success. <\/p>
The story of King Bruce is a very good example of this saying. He lost a battle and his enemies took his kingdom. The king wanted to fight the enemies and organized a very large army. He fought against his enemies and lost. This happened eight times and the eighth time he lost very heavily and so he was hiding in a cave. He was very dejected and disheartened and then he saw a spider trying to build a web. The spider could not link the web at a particular point and he tried many number of times and finally built it successfully. On looking at this, the king thought, \u201cIf a spider can try so many times, I can also do it\". He immediately started organizing an empire and finally he won. <\/p>
Even in Science inventions and discoveries , they do not happen overnight. Thomas Alva Edison was a very great inventor and he tried more than thousand times to make a filament bulb. On knowing this a reporter asked him whether Edison wasted his times in his efforts. Edison said, \u201cNo I just found thousand ways in which I could not make the filament bulb.\" <\/p>
In this way, there are many more examples to show that failures can not block our path to the amazing world of success.Can't we learn from history's great men and women, who after failing initially, pulled themselves together to defeat failure.<\/p>
Failure should be our teacher not our undertaker. Once a great man Jayson Demers said\"Learn from your mistakes,reflect and accept the failure,but revist your passion and keep pursuing your goals no matter what\".<\/b><\/p>

A woman named Amala Ruia was now known as ' Water Mother ' has given life to 100 villages in Rajasthan.

Many of us read the news talk about it feel bad if there is any disturbance and look upon for the news on the next day but Amala has seen an article in the newspaper that \" Government is supplying tankers to the farmers \" questioned herself that can these water tankers satisfy the needs of the farmers? and then found a permanent solution and established \" Baker Charitable trust \" to translate her thoughts into actions. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1469381261171","data":"5794fa9a93af0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1469381121692","data":"
She started researching the water troubles of Rajasthan and found that the Rajasthan farmers are amongst the poorest in the country. Using rainwater harvesting technology to improve situation seemed like a good choice to her. ' the biggest task was to involve the local community and engage them in making our model more sustainable ' she says. <\/p>
Amala started her work by constructing dams, check dams known as 'Khadin'. Khadin dams are really economical and very low in cost which involves only small masonry works and extensive earth bunds. These type of dams only have advantages rather than the disadvantages. <\/p>
Her first project was in the Mandawar village which turned up to be a huge success and the farmers earned 12 crores within a year with 2 check dams constructed and then they never looked back. The construction of each dam costs 5 lakh and the best thing is 40% of the construction cost was barred by the farmers and it took only 2-3 months for constructions. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1469381271498","data":"5794faa4520f3"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1469381166667","data":"
\u201cWe were sure that the projects would be successful only if the farmers contributed. We involved the farmers at every step, from sharing the cost of construction and even maintenance. This is how they get a sense of ownership,\u201d<\/i> she says. <\/p>
All the villagers are extremely happy and are grateful to her as the dry wells, pumps in that areas were filled with water and the women need not walk for several miles to fetch water as they getting clean water at their doorsteps.<\/p>"}]
It is always fun to meet different types of people around. I think this doesn't happen everywhere that you go for a competition with preparation and at the end of the day you enjoy yourselves without the burden of that competition. <\/p>
MOC really changed the the way I look at competitions. The moment I entered the college , I found a galaxy of speakers around me . The feeling inside me was like popping pop corns , with high velocity . But ,as soon as I saw my college gang ,we started enjoying ourselves by cracking jokes, clicking selfies, groupfies and guess what the seriousness for the competition was washed out . <\/p>
Then , after an hour or so orientation programme began with full enthusiasm. In the orientation , champions were there , speakers were there and of course their speeches were just fantastic. But personally, I enjoyed hearing Charan Sir and he was as usual awesome. <\/span><\/p>After this session , we went to have our lunch as after that competition was to start. <\/span><\/p>Now, slowly fear and nervousness started crawling up . And again a magic happened. After going to our respective rooms, toastmasters made us feel comfortable and to my surprise they were really friendly.<\/span><\/p>Here, I have to talk about the culture in toastmasters. I really loved the way they call us on the stage ( it goes like name-topic topic-name)and the shake hands and the boom! You speak on . I got to hear about many things as the students aired their opinions on a particular topic . And we were made to give feedback or like how we were feeling right there ,that part went interesting . In our room , at the end, a girl gave a dance performance , another sang a song and we went on clapping and clapping . And this was how it ended up . After coming out of the rooms , our college gang again just chilled and shared our experiences . At last , I stepped out of the college with a big smile om my face and a feeling of being jubilant .<\/span><\/p>"}]

There is beauty in the drops of rain on fresh green leaves, excitement in the hairpin turns, brilliance in little colored houses, secrets in the mountains, and stories in the eyes of every localite in that city or country.\n \nTravelling breaks social, cultural and economic barriers.<\/b> Travelling is a whole new experience altogether. Something you can do alone or in groups and enjoy both experiences differently but thoroughly.\n\nDon't be a tourist. Be a traveler.<\/i> Don't visit countries, live there<\/i>. Don't take selfies for social networking sites, build memories<\/i>. <\/b>Take pictures of things you want to remember for yourself and not to show off to others. That's what awakens a part of you that longs to discover new things. And when you return home from your adventure, you'll never be the same again. Just like how you're never the same person once you fall in love.\n\n The only difference is, falling in love with adventure does not involve heartbreaks. "}]
\u201cSleep\u201d<\/p>
Just the thought of this word sets my mood to \u2013 sleepy.<\/p>
A beauty sleep of close to 10 hours doesn\u2019t seem enough for me! I always feel sleepy again in the morning. When I was in school, I would use up my nap time to do some guilty reading ( if such a word exists), trying to finish my novel while repeating to myself- just one more page. I did not value the necessity of sleep.<\/p>
