Have you ever travelled 50 miles all the way just to have a glass of water or simply a cup of coffee? Did you ever sacrifice your sleep for someone? Yes! They are INDIAN SOLDIERS who sacrifice their sleep, they are fathers who stay away from their children, so that we live happily with our own families.<\/p>
The third largest force in the world, Indian Army is not only about might but also bringing pride of the nation. On the Line Of Control (LOC), its not that easy to survive.<\/p>
But the LOC was never as volatile as it is now in the aftermath of surgical strike by Indian Special Forces in September, 2016. While this bold move sent a festive cheer across the nation, it has also made life difficult for those living around the LOC and in the POK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir).<\/p>
Our forces are a collective pack of brave men and women who redefine patriotism every single day. The army man at the border have to undergo hectic schedule, less sleep, extreme weather conditions, command operations ,lack of communication with world and many more challenges are part of their life.<\/p>
Government has taken many steps to make the life of army men better.Powerful weapons, accurate GPS system, better and advanced Kevlar and helmets enable army men to face tougher challenges.<\/p>
\"Either I will come back after hosting the tricolor, or I will come back wrapped in it\" says a brave soldier. We won our freedom now its our turn to support the army and guard our freedom. Lets make our country feel proud of having Indian Army and Indian soldiers, who sacrifice their entire life in serving the Nation. As the slogan of the Ghurkas go, may God have mercy on our enemies because we won't.<\/p>"}]

Tell me everything\"<\/i><\/p>It was the year 2006. My dad had been transferred to a quaint little town which was known for it's spirituality. It had abundance of temples and was a beautiful place to live in. I had secured a seat in one of the best schools of the town. On a bright, summer June morning, I entered class IV-A with bright, twinkling eyes full of hope, zeal to learn, meet new friends and become a teacher's pet like I was in my previous school. <\/p>I was introduced to the class by her class teacher, Mr. Shekar Kumar. I lifted my neck up and tried to look at him. He was tall, dark and had a thick, black moustache which hid his upper lip. He had a double chin hanging down making his face look like a rotten apple and smelt of tobacco. The scent was familiar to that of rogues who would laze around in front of the supermarket near my home. <\/p>Days passed by. I was enthusiastic and yearned to become every teacher's favourite student. I worked hard and topped my class. Shekar sir too was impressed with my skills and would often hold my waist, pull me close and whisper in my ear \"Ananya, you are my most favourite student in the class.\"<\/p>In the library, while I was engrossed in the latest edition of Tinkle reading Suppandi and Butterfingers, he would spot me, sit next to me, smelling of cheap tobacco, put his heavy arm around my shoulder, his face against mine; skin on skin and ask me what I was reading and would say \"you look like that fairy\" pointing at the comic book.<\/p> Everyone in the class were jealous of me as they thought I was his favourite student. But I was writhing with agony. I DID NOT like his gestures.<\/p> I didn't know what it was called. I didn't have a name for it. But the feeling I had when he came close to me was terrible. I felt like I was trapped in a dark room and his whispers haunted me in my dreams. <\/p>And on that one dreaded day, he called me to his staff room. No other teacher was there. He held my waist again but this time it wasn't gentle. He gripped me hard. I wanted him to let go. I said, \"sir. You are hurting me. Please let go\" to which he replied \"I am the teacher. Don't give me instructions\"<\/p> He opened the math textbook and pretended to teach me the concepts I had missed. But he had his grip on me. He then claimed it was too hot and that it was sweaty and removed his collar button. And before I knew it, he removed my collar button as well claiming it would be hot for me too. I was sweating profusely not because of the heat but because my heart was tugging at me. Asking me to run away. Run into the arms of my mother and tell her that I hate my math sir and how much I want to change to another school. <\/p>But I don't remember why. I don't remember what made me not make a move. I stood there frozen while he \"taught\" me. I was played with. I was groped. I was unbuttoned. I was fingered. I WAS 8 YEARS OLD. <\/p>My heart was thumping faster than it ever did. I felt weird in my tummy and my legs went weak. I couldn't stand there with his arms encapsulating me and touching my face, squeezing my shoulder, opening one button at a time. Time stood still. I just had to go.<\/p> He then attempted to squeeze my breasts. He opened another button and that's when my brain yelled \"run\". And that was it. I couldn't take it anymore and yelped \"sir I have to go to the washroom\" and ran away before he could reply. I ran away and never went back. That was the last time I had ever seen him.<\/p> I called my mom and went back home. By that night, I was trembling with fever. Nobody knew why. <\/p>Back then, I didn't know the word 'molestation' or 'abuse' existed. I didn't know it was wrong. I just felt it was wrong. I knew I was feeling uncomfortable. I knew I hated that touch. I knew I hated the way he looked at me sheepishly with his blood shot eyes full of lust. I knew I hated to be in the same room as his. But that 8 year old, naive girl didn't know what to tell her mom. Why she hated him. I didn't know what he did to me was right or wrong or allowed or illegal. All I knew was I felt dirty inside and outside. This kind of impure dirt which can't be washed away. <\/p>I just knew this had to end. I couldn't cry anymore. I later made a huge fuss, created a ruckus and cried and cried till my parents shifted back to Hyderabad. They thought I had issues because everybody else in my class loved Shekar Kumar sir. He was funny, taught well and would keep the class lively. Only I knew this other side of his which everyone would loathe if they knew. <\/p>Mom was shellshocked and bitter when she heard her 18 year old daughter tell her what had happened 10 years ago. She asked me \"why didn't you tell me?\" for which I had no answer. <\/p>One out of every six girls between the ages 6-19 go through child molestation as their naive, innocent hearts don't know the wrongdoings of the wretched world full of lust-dripping, heartless monsters. On National girl child's day, I plead every parent to tell their daughters which touch is right and which isn't. What kind of relationship is supposed to exist with an adult male. What kind of behaviour must be instantaneously reported to the parent.<\/p> No other child must go through what I have endured when I was 8 years old. <\/p>No other child must be as timid as I was who didn't know could have been done to avoid it. <\/p>No other child...<\/p>"}] {"cover_pic":"https:\/\/cdn.stumagz.com\/images\/5887517d41d05stryimg","category":"Whats hot","is_vip":"0","title":"News Byte January 24","title_id":"news-byte-january-24","isEdit":0,"isAdmin":0,"authorFullName":"Team Stumagz","authorUserName":"stumagzsu","authorProfilePic":"\/\/cdn.stumagz.com\/images\/578691ea5d7baprofilepic","authorMagzName":"Team Stumagz","authorCity":"Hyderabad","like_count":3,"cmnt_count":0,"type":1,"isApproved":2,"publishedInName":"Team Stumagz","publishedInLink":"team","publishedInLogo":"\/\/cdn.stumagz.com\/images\/stumagzprofilepic","publishedInCode":"team","country":"IND","keywords":"Asaduddin Owaisi,MIM,Donald Trump,Modi,China,South China Sea,Theresa May,Brexit,Kamal Hassan","isBookingEnabled":0,"privacy_status":"1","url":"https:\/\/www.stumagz.com\/news-byte-january-24\/","has_form":0,"is_appln_closed":0,"max_no_of_applns":0,"likeStatus":0} [{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1485262423850","data":"1.

Here are the things every student should know about this legend<\/p>
1. He graduated from Osmania University<\/b><\/p>
Born on November 20, 1925, Ramaiah spent much of his childhood at the place of his birth, Gudur in Warangal district.

After being released from jail, he went on to become a teacher and retired as a principal in 1983. Shortly after his retirement, he discovered that he could not get his government approved pension, which put him in a dilemma. He then spent a few days at the Saraswati Temple in Basara before deciding to go back into teaching, privately. After moving to Nallakunta in Hyderabad, a group of students who were then preparing for the IIT entrance exam approached him to help with mathematics. The first batch he ever coached became very successful in cracking the entrance exam in 1985 and since then, his fame skyrocketed. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1485342414692","data":"5888882fad255"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1485342723969","data":"

Indians voted for the first time in 1951, after our constitution was adopted and India became a republic, where the people had the right to choose their leaders, for the very first time in many hundred years, and going to making us one of the largest democracies in the world. Keeping the right of voters and the power of the common man in mind, the National Voter's Day was first observed on Jan 25, 2011. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1485334592001","data":"58886883a4c23"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1485334616383","data":"
As a citizen of this country, one of your highest duties towards the nation is going out to vote in elections. Too many people treat the Election Day as a holiday, staying home and wasting their time. The problem here is that not only are they wasting their own time, they are wasting the country's time, and that their vote could be the deciding factor of who gets to lead the country going forward.<\/p>
People wrongly believe that not voting absolves them of responsibility towards the country, and they couldn't be farther from the truth, usually when someone is so far gone that they decide not to vote at all, it means they are sick of the establishment of the current government (which was one of the driving forces behind the 2014 General Elections, and the Presidental Elections in America), there are record lows in voter turnouts, and the ones that come to power are often populist governments harping about the people, and them being first (the BJP is the first party in India to win a majority with 31% vote share<\/a>, similarly, Hillary Clinton has nearly 3 million more votes than Donald Trump<\/a>, but she lost due to the Electoral College system), but often are accompanied by dollops of propaganda. But this is my inherent bias talking, the major point here would be that if more people had gone out to vote, maybe the results would have been a little different, maybe in India, no matter what side of the political spectrum you are, wouldn't it have been nicer and with more validation if more people had gone out to vote and exercise their right of choosing their leaders?<\/p><\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1485335752931","data":"58886d0508d9a"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1485335771652","data":"It is a misconception that voting absolves you of all responsibilities.

\"WHAT?!?!\"Ma shrieked with rage fuming in her blood shot eyes when she heard this. \"SHEKAR KUMAR SIR MOLESTED YOU 10 YEARS AGO AND YOU TELL ME NOW?!\"<\/i><\/p>
It wasn't this hard when she heard it on news about that random 5 year old kid who was abused by her teacher in one of the schools in Bangalore. <\/i><\/p>
It wasn't this hard when she heard about that 13 year old girl who was threatened to be failed if she didn't strip for his eye tease.<\/i><\/p>
But when she heard what had happened to her daughter, she couldn't fathom the very thought itself.<\/i><\/p>
She went weak in her knees and said \"Tell me Ananya. Tell me everything\"<\/i><\/p>
It was the year 2006. My dad had been transferred to a quaint little town which was known for it's spirituality. It had abundance of temples and was a beautiful place to live in. I had secured a seat in one of the best schools of the town. On a bright, summer June morning, I entered class IV-A with bright, twinkling eyes full of hope, zeal to learn, meet new friends and become a teacher's pet like I was in my previous school. <\/p>
I was introduced to the class by her class teacher, Mr. Shekar Kumar. I lifted my neck up and tried to look at him. He was tall, dark and had a thick, black moustache which hid his upper lip. He had a double chin hanging down making his face look like a rotten apple and smelt of tobacco. The scent was familiar to that of rogues who would laze around in front of the supermarket near my home. <\/p>
Days passed by. I was enthusiastic and yearned to become every teacher's favourite student. I worked hard and topped my class. Shekar sir too was impressed with my skills and would often hold my waist, pull me close and whisper in my ear \"Ananya, you are my most favourite student in the class.\"<\/p>
In the library, while I was engrossed in the latest edition of Tinkle reading Suppandi and Butterfingers, he would spot me, sit next to me, smelling of cheap tobacco, put his heavy arm around my shoulder, his face against mine; skin on skin and ask me what I was reading and would say \"you look like that fairy\" pointing at the comic book.<\/p>
Everyone in the class were jealous of me as they thought I was his favourite student. But I was writhing with agony. I DID NOT like his gestures.<\/p>
I didn't know what it was called. I didn't have a name for it. But the feeling I had when he came close to me was terrible. I felt like I was trapped in a dark room and his whispers haunted me in my dreams. <\/p>
And on that one dreaded day, he called me to his staff room. No other teacher was there. He held my waist again but this time it wasn't gentle. He gripped me hard. I wanted him to let go. I said, \"sir. You are hurting me. Please let go\" to which he replied \"I am the teacher. Don't give me instructions\"<\/p>
He opened the math textbook and pretended to teach me the concepts I had missed. But he had his grip on me. He then claimed it was too hot and that it was sweaty and removed his collar button. And before I knew it, he removed my collar button as well claiming it would be hot for me too. I was sweating profusely not because of the heat but because my heart was tugging at me. Asking me to run away. Run into the arms of my mother and tell her that I hate my math sir and how much I want to change to another school. <\/p>
But I don't remember why. I don't remember what made me not make a move. I stood there frozen while he \"taught\" me. I was played with. I was groped. I was unbuttoned. I was fingered. I WAS 8 YEARS OLD. <\/p>
My heart was thumping faster than it ever did. I felt weird in my tummy and my legs went weak. I couldn't stand there with his arms encapsulating me and touching my face, squeezing my shoulder, opening one button at a time. Time stood still. I just had to go.<\/p>
He then attempted to squeeze my breasts. He opened another button and that's when my brain yelled \"run\". And that was it. I couldn't take it anymore and yelped \"sir I have to go to the washroom\" and ran away before he could reply. I ran away and never went back. That was the last time I had ever seen him.<\/p>
I called my mom and went back home. By that night, I was trembling with fever. Nobody knew why. <\/p>
Back then, I didn't know the word 'molestation' or 'abuse' existed. I didn't know it was wrong. I just felt it was wrong. I knew I was feeling uncomfortable. I knew I hated that touch. I knew I hated the way he looked at me sheepishly with his blood shot eyes full of lust. I knew I hated to be in the same room as his. But that 8 year old, naive girl didn't know what to tell her mom. Why she hated him. I didn't know what he did to me was right or wrong or allowed or illegal. All I knew was I felt dirty inside and outside. This kind of impure dirt which can't be washed away. <\/p>
I just knew this had to end. I couldn't cry anymore. I later made a huge fuss, created a ruckus and cried and cried till my parents shifted back to Hyderabad. They thought I had issues because everybody else in my class loved Shekar Kumar sir. He was funny, taught well and would keep the class lively. Only I knew this other side of his which everyone would loathe if they knew. <\/p>
Mom was shellshocked and bitter when she heard her 18 year old daughter tell her what had happened 10 years ago. She asked me \"why didn't you tell me?\" for which I had no answer. <\/p>
One out of every six girls between the ages 6-19 go through child molestation as their naive, innocent hearts don't know the wrongdoings of the wretched world full of lust-dripping, heartless monsters. On National girl child's day, I plead every parent to tell their daughters which touch is right and which isn't. What kind of relationship is supposed to exist with an adult male. What kind of behaviour must be instantaneously reported to the parent.<\/p>
No other child must go through what I have endured when I was 8 years old. <\/p>
No other child must be as timid as I was who didn't know could have been done to avoid it. <\/p>
No other child...<\/p>"}]

People say we only live once. I, however as a reader live a thousand times through books. Every time I read a new book, I live a different story. Sometimes I'm a detective, solving crimes and sometimes a wizard, waving my wand. It's astonishing how books can transport me to a world, so different from the one I live in and yet make me feel like I belong. It was in books that I found my first friends and it was books that I turned to on every bad day. <\/p>
I'm grateful to my parents for a lot of things, but one that i'll forever be grateful for is imbibing in me the habit to read. They were the ones who bought me 'Grandma's tales' in my first standard that still sits on my bookshelf proudly. It's sad to see that children today do not read books and are instead glued to the T.V. and tablets. Children need to be encouraged to step away from the T.V. and read books. And not just children, people of all ages should read. As my favourite author, J. K. Rowling once said- \"If you do not like reading, you haven't found the right book yet.\" <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1485186085674","data":"588624c324961"}]
