Books-A Uniquely Portable Magic

Books-A Uniquely Portable Magic! 


Books are very essential and are filled with loads of information and knowledge. They are considered as the best friends of students which share a great amount of information with them. Books play a significant role in a student's life as they give them joy and make them learn a lot of new things. They take them into a unique world of imagination and improve their imagination and creativity skills. Books help to inspire students to do hard work with courage and hope. They also improve memory and build more vocabulary. It is also beneficial in relieving stress of a student or an adult. Books help to get more focus and develop analytical skills. We also learn more languages through reading different types of books. These all things make the student more intelligent. Furthermore, books also store and lock the knowledge in our human brains when we read and gain knowledge. 



There are many ways to improve our reading habits. Some of them are here below: 

Read your favourites: If you like a book, read it again and again. This will tell you in what type of genre of particular stories, characters, setting and plot you are interested in. You can then start reading various books of your choice. 

Get exposed to different types of genres: Reading different genres gets you exposed to all types of books. You learn several languages, improve your imagination and creativity too. You start to think of different plots, settings and characters. 

Read actively and annotate: When I say “read actively”, I mean think about what you are reading, highlight passages that you think are important or interesting, write comments, summaries and notes either on the book’s margins or in a separate notebook. If you are reading on your smartphone or your e-book reader, take advantage of their highlighting and note features. 

Carry a book everywhere you go: Whenever you go somewhere outside, always take your book with you. So, whenever you get some time you can read it. In this way you can read the maximum time and improve your reading habits. 

There are many more ways but these are a few from which you can start with.

Media and Misinformation POEM: Shadows of Doubt

Image
Shadows of Doubt Shadows creep where truth once stood A labyrinth of lies where truth is concealed Thronging with info The net’s just like a cotton-filled pillow I just don’t know what’s right what’s wrong Will this trap continue lifelong?   I feel so helpless So uninformed or rather I’d say misinformed That I’m being stormed It leaves me feeling like I don’t know who to believe   My worry deepens day by day Why do we have to pay For the evil and political intents Of the media presidents Who unfurl a curtain on the turn of events To merely disorient and create dents In the society resulting in immense torments   Be it the media traditional or social Biases are on the way Ranging from political to algorithmic Why are we being targeted and trapped In the relentless war of profits rhythmic     If we’re misinformed How can we understand the world around us? This is not fair But if we can’t change the world Let’s start the change

Spot the Fake: Your Guide to Real News

Spot the Fake: Your Guide to Real News “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” This quote by Mark Twain has proved to be truer than ever before. In today's digital world, false information spreads rapidly, causing real-world harm. From misleading headlines to outright deception, fake news poses a significant challenge. The consequences can be severe, including eroding trust and dividing communities. A study at MIT reveals that fake news spreads more faster, deeper and broadly than the truth. The truth rarely spreads beyond a 1000 people whereas the most contentious fake news in their sample regularly spread between 1000 and a 100 thousand people. Another revelation was that humans were more likely to spread fake news than the truth compared to bots. For instance, misinformation about COVID-19 caused serious harm. Over 6,000 people were hospitalized and at least 800 died in the first three months of 2020 alone due to false informa

Sapphire Souls, Golden Dreams....World Cup Time

Image
Sapphire Souls, Golden Dreams Flags held high Exuberance unfurling through the sky Faces painted with stripes of saffron, white with a blue chakra and green on the side Heads held up high with pride And a spark in their eyes As the blue jersey wearers in themselves confide that lits up the eyeballs as the power flies to all and supplies   Glued to their TV sets day and night The young and the old with delight As the blue jersey wearers fight like a knight With all their might As the hope ignites and shines too bright Hoping for India to take another flight and reach new heights What a sight for all tonight!   Stadium run out of tickets Eyes glued on to sixes, fours and wickets And as the umpire will raise the finger The crowd will proclaim their ecstasy To view another wicket taken by our cricket team The arena will echo with shouts and screams     The 13 th cup edition And our team’s ambition A dream envisioned by all To grab
