The villagers are responsible for the cleanliness of the village from cleaning the roads to collecting the dry leaves that fall from trees and throwing them in the dustbins. Bamboo garbage bins are kept in every corner of the village so that there is awareness among the people of the village to maintain the cleanliness, which is an age old tradition of the villagers. Moreover the use of plastic ans smoking is banned in the village whereas rain water harvesting is highly encouraged.<\/p>

Sky is what we call our atmosphere. Sky has no colour i.e., the space is colourless. But, absence of light in the space makes it dark. The sun emits radiation in all visible wavelengths, so the actual colour of the sun rays is white, which can be seen from space. Before white light reaches the earth's surface, the light waves collide with and bounce off the nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the atmosphere. Sun rays takes nearly 8 minutes 20 seconds to reach our earth's atmosphere. The sun rays comprises of VIBGYOR. Different frequencies of light are scattered differently.<\/p>
As the visible spectrum consists of the colours VIBGYOR, mostly the sky is filled with a shade of blue .The colour of the sky is created by light scattering (this is usually called Rayleigh scattering) and diffracting off of these molecules and particles. The amount of scattering depends on the size and density of the particles, optical path length, and most importantly by the intensity of the scattering which is wavelength dependant. <\/span><\/p><\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528367944036","data":"5b190b5f20623"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1528367952300","data":"Blue has less wave length than red, orange, yellow, green, violet and indigo so that it can reach only the atmosphere level.

People who ace the UPSC usually opt for the IAS these days. This has been a shift from the earlier days when most of them opted for the Indian Foreign Service or the IFS. Diplomacy is generally defined as the art of negotiating deals and agreements with countries and international organisations. Career diplomats serving in the Indian Foreign Service serve in the many foreign missions of India abroad, in the international organisations such as UN,UNESCO, etc., head Regional Passport Offices in India, and also manage and run the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi. The bureaucrats in services like IAS, IRS, IPS and other central services are running the country, but the officers in the IFS are creating foreign policies for the country and maintaining and promoting India's relations with foreign countries, which is one of the most important tasks in taking India forward in the ever changing world.<\/p>
The idea of establishing a separate foreign service for the country originated from a note dated 30 September 1944, recorded by Lieutenant-General T. J. Hutton, the Secretary of the Planning and Development Department. Then Olaf Caroe, the Foreign Secretary, suggested that as India was going forward to be an independent country, a diplomatic service to represent India abroad was the need of the hour. Finally on 9 October 1946,on the eve of Indian independence, the Indian government established the Indian Foreign Service to represent India abroad for diplomatic, commercial, consular and other purposes. The first batch of the IFS were selected in 1948 by the Civil Services Examination conducted by the UPSC . The cadre size of the IFS is one of the smallest every year, ranging among 25-30 officers each year. The Indian Foreign Service is an exclusive premier service, with around 800 IFS handling both Indian missions abroad and the headquarters at South Block.<\/p>
It is indeed unfortunate that new officers getting top ranks in the UPSC exams only opt for the IAS these days. The IFS is an extremely important and prestigious service, with it's officers representing India abroad. And what can be more prestigious than being a representative of your country, negotiating agreements on behalf of a billion citizens of your country? Officers eventually get promoted to the rank of High Commissioners, Ambassadors, etc., who are placed among the top people in the order of precedence of that country, being addressed by terms such as 'His Excellency'. They also head an entire mission of India, and sign deals on behalf of the entire country. On top of it, they travel around the world and serve in several foreign countries. At the end of their career, almost all of them would have lived a life full of thrill and adventure, with many tales to narrate. So brilliant students preparing for the UPSC and having interests in International Relations and travelling should break the barrier and join the IFS. The IFS needs such intelligent and brilliant officers now, to build solid relations with countries around the world, and take India forward to being an economic superpower. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528306112648","data":"5b1819de47294"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528306221855","data":"5b181a4865aac"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528306098905","data":"5b1819bc07b71"}]

The recent death of Air Commodore Sanjai Chauhan creates another dent in the Indian Air Force. Crashing his Jaguar<\/i> in Gujarat, there have been reports that the officer refused to eject and maneuvered the plane to a safe area so that no one else could be harmed. Though lives of many were saved, India lost another one of it's decorated Air Force officers . A high level inquiry has been ordered but nothing is expected from it as usual, because like every time, an engine failure or pilot error will emerge as the reason for the crash. But this is not a new case. Plane crashes are regularly reported by the Air Force, which is not at all acceptable. For an economic giant like India, it cannot afford to lose officers in mere air crashes, and absolutely not in test flights.<\/p>
A fortnight ago, another crash was reported in Jammu and Kashmir where an IAF chopper crashed. Many more crashes are regularly reported from areas like Northeast,etc. And why not? The government is to be completely blamed for these horrific incidents. Air Force Pilots go through a rigorous training regime during their training days and their fitness level and flying tests are regularly held. So one cannot state that each crash is due to Pilot error. The Jaguar<\/i> is nearly four decades old. Air Commodore Chauhan was on a regular training flight on the Jaguar<\/i> when it crashed. The main question which arises here is that what was such an old machine doing in their fleet? The government has cut it's defence spending in the last budget without any explanation. And that too in these crucial times when it is having tense relations with it's neighbouring countries. Not that any war would be waged soon, but one should always be prepared for any crisis.<\/p>
Any defence deal in India has to go through many hurdles. Bureaucrats, finance problems, and political pressure are one of the many reasons. But the main cause of worry here is that no one is really paying any heed to the accidental air crashes that are occurring frequently in India. The recent crash will be forgotten in a few days, the officer would be remembered as a hero, and then life would continue as usual. But what about prevention? The planes in the Air Force's fleet should be thoroughly checked regularly for any anomalies. Old machines should be immediately replaced. One wonders when any concrete decision will be taken by the government in this regard.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528228815189","data":"5b16ebe2dfa8c"}]
Unfortunately hypocrisy has become quite prominent in Indian films and among actors these days. Recent films like Veere Di Wedding lives up to the above claims. In these turbulent times when people constantly discuss about issues like gender discrimination, poverty, corruption, etc. films like these fuel up these debates and cause unnecessary disturbances. The sad part is that these kind of films attract the most number of viewers, which ultimately leads to filmmakers making more films of this kind.<\/p>
On 1st June 2018, two films were released. One was the probable 'woman centric' film called Veere Di Wedding, and the other called 'Bhavesh Joshi Superhero', dealing with issues like corruption , and how our society is shaping up these days. Now the way Veere Di Weeding portrayed their film in trailers and interviews, it seemed viewers were finally in for a film dealing with 'feminism', which was a need of the hour. Unfortunately, the term called 'feminism' is misused to extreme levels these days. Leave aside feminism, Veere Di Wedding portrays women in bad taste as well. Drinking and smoking is not called feminism. Partying all night and waking up in someone else's house in the morning is not called feminism. Refusing to work and doing nothing all day, and on top of that abusing your husband is not called feminism. Sure, all women are entitled to do these things and no one should stop them from doing so, but that doesn't mean one necessarily has to do all this to be a feminist and show women power. This is the part where the film completely goes wrong.<\/p>
As expected , Veere Di Wedding opened to huge numbers in the box office, collecting around 10 crores in the first day itself. On the other hand , Bhavesh Joshi could only collect around 30 lakh. This shows that even though people say that the nature of viewers is changing in Bollywood, a film starring top actors but with no solid story can still rake in huge money. Actresses like Swara Bhaskar are the epitome of hypocrisy. She sharply criticized 'Padmavat', where women were shown with the highest honors, and she herself does things in this movie which contradicts her own statement. People are taking advantage of gender discrimination , and making films where women are shown doing all wrong things, which eventually leads to a whole generation being influenced in the wrong path. And people are still thronging theaters to watch a completely illogical film called 'Veere Di Wedding', and films like Parmanu and Bhavesh Joshi are going unnoticed in the society.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528221353901","data":"5b16cecbdd2d7"}]

Scientists cannot say precisely where earth's atmosphere starts. The air gets thinner and thinner as we move up from the surface of the earth. Space doesn't have a strict restricted boundary, the atmosphere extends much farther than the internationally agreed upon line of space which is conventional boundary between atmosphere and outer space. There is no firm boundary where space begins. However, this line which forms the 'Boundary of space' is known as the 'Karman' Line which rests at 100 km above the surface of the earth and it's crossed by everything from sounding rockets to space planes.<\/p>
According to the BIG BANG theory, 13.7 billion years ago explosion in lunas(a highly compressed atomic size body) had taken place due to pressure inside it. After the explosion, dust particles along with hydrogen accumulated due to gravity, galaxies are formed. After this, formation of star begun due to fusion of hydrogen and helium. After 300 million years due to stars formation, some of the stars exploded due to extreme pressure. This is called 'Supernovae' which was the reason of formation of elements like carbon, iron and all other except hydrogen and helium. 'Supernovae' also increased the distance between celestial bodies. Thus, making the space vast.<\/p>
Earth is undoubtedly one of the celestial bodies which is composed of matter and has a mass, an atmosphere and little creatures running around and on it. Outer space is the void that exists between celestial bodies. It is an expanse of empty space in which nothing (or nearly nothing) exists.<\/p>
Space is any extent in 3D with relative position and direction. Space is everywhere. That means the edge of space is less of a barrier and more of a moving target, changing as we achieve new milestones and achievements in spaceflight. Space begins where infinity begins. Since we don't know where infinity begins, the starting limit of space is beyond the scope of our knowledge.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528163207741","data":"5b15eb9c7473c"}]
There are some moments that makes us to think, this is a literal miracle... In aviation industry miracles are not so common when something bad happens.

Initially situation seemed in control and the plane was advised to return to LaGuardia airpot, New York. But, Sully later realised that it's not possible to go for a landing in any of the nearby airports and they would definitely end up in Hudson river.
