Plantation drives are a common thing in our country, every politician does that and every corporate does that for publicity. Even government schemes like the Telangana government's Harita Haram has been reduced to nothing more than a photo opportunity, only because of the fact that no one really bothers about taking care of the plants after they're planted. <\/p>
But three youngsters from Hyderabad, Nikhil Talluri, P. S. Madhava and Pravallika Koku, have found a unique solution to this problem. As a part of their NGO 'Lokakshemam', the three initiated a program called Patron of a Plant and with this program, literally anyone can adopt a plant for just Rs. 2 a day. <\/p>
The seed of the idea was first sown in November last year, when Nikhil's father, Mr. Prabhakar Talluri, told him to take up something along these lines. \"When my father first advised me, I thought about it and as a pilot project, we took up the plants along the Suchitra-Kompally stretch. These plants were planted in accordance with the Haritha Haram scheme and we then hired a trolley-auto and a driver and started taking care of these plants on a regular basis. Over the last six months, we firmly realised what can happen if we nurture the plants carefully,\" explains Nikhil, who quit his corporate job to do this, adding \"It's a simple fact, plants won't grow by themselves in these weather and environmental conditions. With the amount of pollution that's there everywhere, plants need careful nurturing.\"<\/p>
They also identified 10 varieties of plants, with tough bio-genetics, that can survive in most climates and are now in the process of planting these, provided someone takes up the expenses and becomes a patron of a plant. And they are doing this in accordance with the honourable Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's vision of achieving 33% forest cover in the city. <\/p>
To ensure transparency of how the funds are used, one of the team members, P. S. Madhava, a CA aspirant, thoroughly checks the inflow and outflow of funds and Pravallika (who manages communications and media relations) sends out a quarterly magazine on how the adopted plants are progressing. \"We give out progress of the trees and make the patrons aware of the ground reality about the environment here through the online magazine,\" says Nikhil.<\/p>
In addition to planting trees that patrons pay for, Lokakshemam also plants more trees and in case a plant\/tree of a patron gets damaged, the organisation then adds one from their kitty to the patron's account. <\/p>
They are further planning on taking up several projects including a spot fixing project in Secunderabad and are on the search for volunteers. Whoever is interested, can just visit their website<\/a> and apply to be a volunteer.<\/p>"}]

Feminists, feminism, equality. What do we understand by all this? Women empowerment, and the images that popup in our heads are of women in rage, shouting their guts out for their equality, for equal pay, for their voices to be heard, marching on the streets with banners, reminding everybody that they are humans too, and not just men. <\/p>
Feminism, this term has faced a lot of criticism over the years. There is hate, love, support, preconceived notions, assumptions, and a lot more. Equality of women was so oppressed that, when voices were heard, it was perceived by everyone as an aggressive movement for female domination. While, all along, it was just for equal rights. Of course, there are a lot of women around the world, who perceive feminism to be female domination in the world. And its 2017 now, equality is no more just about women. It is about everyone, women, men, trans people. There is injustice going on with all the genders existing today, because of the norms set by society. In all honesty, we have come to a point where, it is no more about just women empowerment, we have to look deeper into this matter; equality. Because lets see, a boy liking the colour pink, is ridiculed more than a girl being a tomboy. Norms like, makeup is for women. Society\u2019s norms, have induced these gender roles and stereotypes. We should learn to respect individual choice, they can wear, look, do whatever they feel like. It is about respect. So, are we really achieving equality when all the genders are facing discrimination, to an extreme, at some point of their life. <\/p>
After people going gaga over feminism, it is perceived as something that is female dominance which, of course, made another movement arise called, \u201cmeninism\u201d. An internet satirical trend that was against everything feminism preached. All along, assuming feminism is dominance of women.<\/p>
What are we actually looking and fighting for; dominance or equality? I do have an answer to this. What we should be fighting for as people is, equality. Because boys, men, trans men, too, face a lot of disputes. But because they play this so called \u2018dominant species\u2019 role in the society, they are always treated as superiors and their emotions, are not given any value. And their emotions, everything, does matter and has a value. Acknowledging that men get raped, abused, harassed, molested, and saying it is not okay for them to face something as horrible as these things, fighting for that, is equality. <\/p>
I came across a post on Facebook, a picture of an article saying, \u201cMan from Africa got raped by two women, who after, stole his semen\u201d, I was personally triggered by what men commented in the comments, \u201cHe definitely enjoyed it.\u201d \u201clol, why would he mind two women raping him\u201d Well! Consent? Ever heard of that? Yeah, consent is as important, irrespective of gender. While men in the comment section were making fun of this man for not enjoying the rape, women were the one who kept on repeating how wrong all of this is. Because, hey, rape is never a joke. Age, gender, race, nothing matters, it is injustice no matter what. To the women who commented saying rape, irrespective of gender is wrong, got targeted by men with no logic who said, \u201cwe can do whatever we want.\u201d What i observed here is; men themselves ridiculed this situation of a man getting raped. While women, understand and can empathise with the trauma that person must have faced. It is not okay for anyone to get raped, abused, assaulted, molested, harassed. <\/p>
This is where we as a society are at, its okay for men to face these, rather men should enjoy it. And this is the exactly why we need feminism; equality. <\/p>
It is important for us, as a society to fight any kind of injustice, be it with women, men, LGBTQ. Now, let\u2019s fight for all that it takes to achieve equality.<\/p>"}]
I've already written at length about Bahubali's female characters (Devasena in particular, which you can find by clicking here<\/a>), so when I heard about a prequel dedicated to the Matriarch and Queen Regent Sivagami, it was only natural that it piqued my interest, and I had to read it as soon as possible. Of course that soon as possible turned out to be weeks, but that's a story for another time. <\/p>I think we all can agree when someone says Bahubali is now a cultural icon not just for the Telugu states, but for the country, with the amount of money it raked in worldwide and the insane amount of hype it generated.

S. Rajamouli had personally asked Anand Neelakantan to write the book. I haven't read any of Neelakantan's works, but I trust Rajamouli's judgement, considering how well read he is.

Sreekavya talks about her routine and her practice sessions, \"I'm making it a point to learn at least one instrument, and there is not a single day when I go to sleep without practicing singing or learning a new song, the practice must go on,\" she smiles, \"In the college hostel, it was difficult to go to classes but that has never stopped me from practicing and doing what I love doing. Now I do not even skip a single classical music class or miss practice, it has become second nature.\"<\/p>
She hopes to return to her hometown of Proddatur and start teaching singing in an institute named after her late guru, \"I owe her that much,\" she smiles with hope, before concluding, \"She was the only one in my town who was that good, who could teach what was needed to learn, and I want to give the children of the town the same opportunity I had. For the future of music, and for my guru.\"<\/p>
Taking on a big responsibility comes naturally to Sreekavya, and we hope to see her succeed in her future endeavours. Scroll down for a video of her performance, and of course, we wish her all the very best! <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1496065560551","data":"hFjPYday_Ac"}]
I studied in a CBSE school and I know all about the stereotypes surrounding them; that they're more 'posh' than SSC people, that they're not as good at math and that their communication skills are better. I was one of the first batches to go through with the CCE curriculum. The lab rat batch, you can say. Despite all the pain it was to go pretend to do yoga or dance when you knew you had the grace of wet cardboard, it was all worth it in the end when your subject grades got upgraded because of your extracurriculars.<\/p>
With the recent CBSE results out, students hear a lot of differing opinions on how important the results are, how they'll help, etc. As a person who's near enough to school to have relevant information and far enough from it to have some perspective, I'm here to let you know once and for all what good the CBSE results are.<\/p>
Purely academically speaking, class 10 results don't matter much. Those looking to get into a junior college to pursue intermediate will have to write seperately entrance exams for them anyway and they'll consequently live in the shadow of your intermediate results. The class 12 results do matter though. They're taken into account when applying for admission into universities and are further considered on all applications that you fill- job applications, placements, etc.<\/p>
Either way, irrespective of whether you plan to use your score to get into college or think it's of no use at all, the things you learn in school are precursors to everything else you'll encounter in life, both in and out of the academic fields. You need to have at least a little learning ability to move through life, the sort that should let you able to understand the concept you learn in school with ease.<\/p>
Either way, I understand all the work, blood and sweat that goes into writing\u200b the exams and wish everyone happy holidays!<\/p>"}]
Automobile engineering was a fairly unexplored stream in India, but has been gaining immense popularity in the past few years. For the aspiring automobile engineer, the dream location for pursuing a degree is the US, from one the many esteemed automotive schools present in the country. Here are the top five schools you can apply to.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496060320895","data":"
1. University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Michigan Technological University<\/b><\/p>
The three universities in the State of Michigan took top honors for producing high quality automotive engineers. Each school has representatives from their program working at all of the top automotive producers in the world and they are well represented throughout the industry. One key to the success of these programs is that they are located next to the automotive design and manufacturing centers in Detroit, Michigan resulting in a high concentration or resources and on the job training that automotive engineering students can benefit from. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496060887570","data":"592c142c96eb5"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496060902083","data":"
2. Indiana University \u2013 Purdue University (IUPUI)<\/b><\/p>
Purdue has a long history of producing top engineers for Detroit and its suppliers. IUPUI also boasts a motorsports engineering program. Ryan Newman, one of the very few NASCAR drivers who graduated from college, holds an engineering degree from Purdue. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496061053558","data":"592c14cedd3ec"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496061062134","data":"
3. Cornell University<\/b><\/p>
This New York institution is not a traditional automotive school, but it has won enough laurels to make this list. The university boasts eight FSAE championships to its name and is also one of the few colleges to enter both the Automotive X Prize competition and the DARPA driverless vehicle event. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496061236783","data":"592c158abed34"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496061254093","data":"
4. Kettering Unversit<\/b>y<\/p>
Despite having fewer than 3,000 students, Kettering University produces far more than its share of industry personnel. Located in Flint, Michigan, the school formerly known as General Motors Institute offers degrees in management as well as engineering. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496061377907","data":"592c1674f2c5b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496061483981","data":"
5. University of Texas at Austin, University of Texas at Arlington and Texas A&M University<\/b><\/p>
At least as heated as the debate among Michigan-based schools is that involving UT Austin, UT Arlington and Texas A&M. The three have combined for more than a dozen wins in FSAE, FSAE West and FSAE Japan competition, so you'll have to make your own choice among them. This high concentration of wins in one region shows that Texas is doing something right in its engineering programs and these three universities and their students are reaping the benefits.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496061585349","data":"592c17ff83e2f"}]
