 Today we are very acquainted with the word empowerment. But we actually don’t know what does it mean. Does this word only belong to our men folk…no, this is very important for women. They need to be empowered, because they sometimes lack the confidence to match their competence or to uphold their rights and values. Woman is entitled to live in dignity and in freedom from all the clutches of society. It is the woman who bears a child in her womb and gives birth to a new life. Moreover she is a good mother, a caring sister, a close friend, a friendly colleague, and sometimes a brilliant Doctor, an advisor, a mentor and of course a soldier. According to Roosevelt, a woman is like a tea bag we never know how strong she is until it gets in hot water. Women are not supposed to live in utter disappointment and in the slough of despond. Under these circumstances women empowerment and education gains utmost importance. In the lion share of the homes in our society w...

   It's just one to the handful of losses for many countries, but for India its a lost dream 1983. Celebrating almost three decades of first World Cup victory at Lords, all eyes were at Old trafford today.Neverthless, virat's men could not repeat kapils play.The irony is that we, a large country bend knee infront of a small island nation. Indias World Cup dreams were shattered today when the men in blue lost semis to Newzealand for just 18. The great play must be applauded.They fought the best.When the team heads to homeland, its time to learn from steep fall.Its time to analyze their shortcoming. Its time to make changes.Its time to know our weakness.Still Indians are hopeful of a 2011memory coming true in the next 2023. Jeava Maria Joseph, XII Humanities

"My Papa's Waltz" is a short and wonderful poem written by Theodore Roethke. In this poem the poet is trying to portray the relation between a father and his son. The poem progresses from the perspective of a child. The deep as well as sweet love of father is ingrained in the waltz performed by him. The child is describing the difficulty in waltzing with his father in the beginning of the poem. The child's father comes home late in the night, drunken. Even his breath was well enough to make a little boy dizzy. But the child kept hanging on to him afraid of the violent and sudden movements in waltzing. The waltzing continued until the pans in the kitchen fell down. His face got scratches from his father's buckles and beatings with the hard and experienced hands of his father. Finally, the child is waltzed off to bed providing a comfortable sleep with his father. It is how a father makes his child aware of the hustle and bustle of the world by holding his hands ...
