Leave your gadgets, go sleep its midnight!

The new progress in the field of technology has taken our pleasant sleep away. If you are like many of  those who find it very hard to stop checking updates on their phones, late at night and try to fell asleep. Then you too are a victim of modern technology's side effects.

Waking up all night has become a very general habit over time, and technology plays a huge roll in encouraging that. We are so deeply submerged in the ocean of this modern techno world, that sometimes we even forget that our mind and body needs rest (sleep) to work properly.

Well, the experts call this 'bedtime procrastination'. When you are trying hard to sleep but your mind keep processing stuff, and you can't manage to even take a nap. I face this problem regularly, and people call me a 'night owl'. It's true that sometimes I don't go to bed at night because I got some work to be done, but it's also true that sometimes when I don't have any work I still find myself awake all night. This is a problem which i'm unable to solve.

Anyway, today I was reading an article about bedtime procrastination in which they suggested these tips...

• Finish eating two to three hours before going to bed.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol before you hit the pillow.
• Take a hot bath or listen to soothing music an hour before sleep time.
• Sleep in an area that is dark, comfy, quite and cool.
• Use your bedroom only for sleeping. Gadgets should be out of that room.

These are the tricks they have suggested. Now i'm going to try them and lets see if anything works well or again i find myself checking updates on my laptop... You try this too!

India is a victim of backward mentality

I am shocked to read an article on the times of India that a woman was gang-raped in front of the entire village. I read that, just because she loved a man from a nearby village, the kangaroo court puts a fine of Rs.50, 000 on her family. And without giving them a night’s time to arrange money, the headsman ordered rape, like it was a free for all. And almost the entire village agrees with the decision.

It’s a shame for the entire country that even in this modern period there are still people in our country with such crap mentality, who can anytime cross all the limits of brutality for any idiotic cause. How will we get rid of this inferior mentality? 

In the era when the Indian youth is increasing the level and value of the country by their hard work and advance thinking, there are people in the villages who are still prolonging their ancient norms. This is harm full for the country. Ill-mindedness is like a termite to the country, which is giving us huge harm.

Most of the cases of rapes and physical violence are the cause of ill mentality and creepy backward thinking. We have taken many steps to give protection to girls and to give more power to law and make it strong. But how shall we change the foolish thinking of the people. How will you make them accept the modern norms? Without making everyone aware of things we shall always be unable to demolish crime.

The epitomes of Christmas

We are reaching the end of the year and the last festival of the year has knocked our doors. I wish all of you a 'Merry Christmas'. Christmas brings so much joy and togetherness to our lives . This festival gets celebrated all around the world differently, according to their religion and culture. On the birth of Jesus Christ the entire world gets dipped into the joy of happiness and celebrate the day with several traditional feasts.

There are some  symbolic things we always use to celebrate Christmas, without them we will find the charms incomplete. So, what are these things? Lets have a look at the list of things who have become a traditional epitome of Christmas....

The Christmas Tree-Today everyone decorates a Christmas Tree in their houses. So where this tradition comes from? Actually the fact of decorating an evergreen tree in winters comes from a way before Jesus birth. in the ancient time people believe that evergreen trees keep away the ghosts, spirits, evil and illness. Thus the decorate the tree to keep the goodwill and prosperity. And the modern era follows tradition as a Christmas epitome.

The Santa Claus-The name Santa Claus is a nickname of Saint Nicholas, who was a very kind and generous person. People say that he gives away all his wealth in helping poor and sick people. His feast day celebrated on his death anniversary on December 6. The modern Santa Claus is a Dutch figure of ancient Sinterklaas.

Christmas Bells-On Christmas, bells are often used to increase the joy of the festival. Actually in catholic church day starts on the sunset. So,  the service after eve traditionally is the first service of the day. in churches bells are often rung to signal the start of the service.

Christmas Stockings-there was a man whose wife had died, live in a small cottage with his three daughters. He was so poor. He lost all his money in bad inventions. When it came time for the daughters to marry, he gets so worried that how would they get married without money.

On the day after the daughters washed the clothes and hung their stockings to the fire place, Saint Nicholas comes to their house. He threw three bags of gold down the chimney and they landed in the stockings.

From that day it becomes a tradition of hanging the stockings for kids.

So, these are the little things who have become such a big epitome of magnificent festival. I wish this Christmas brigs a lot of joy and happiness to your life. 

Marry Christmas to all of you!!
