*Social media in child's life*

Social media has become an integral part of children's lives, shaping their social interactions, self-expression, and worldview. On the positive side, platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat offer spaces for creative expression, allowing kids to share their interests and connect with peers. Social media can also serve as an educational tool, providing access to diverse information and perspectives.

However, the pervasive influence of social media comes with challenges. Cyberbullying is a prevalent issue, with children facing online harassment that can negatively impact their mental well-being. Exposure to inappropriate content is another concern, as the digital landscape may not always be age-appropriate. Moreover, excessive screen time and constant connectivity can contribute to potential mental health issues like anxiety and depression.

Parents play a crucial role in navigating this digital landscape. Establishing open communication, setting age-appropriate guidelines, and fostering digital literacy are essential for ensuring children use social media responsibly. Striking a balance between the positive opportunities and potential risks is key to harnessing the benefits of social media while safeguarding children's well-being.

परीक्षा की घड़ी

आगे परीक्षा  की घड़ी आ रही है,

 दिल को मेरे घबरा रही है, 

बड़ी ही चिंता सता रही है ,

आगे परीक्षा की घड़ी आ रही है।।

देख कर परीक्षा की तारीखों को मुख से निकला है हाय राम 

बस पढ़ने की ही चिंता

 मन ही मन सता रही है 

ए भाई  आगे परीक्षा की घड़ी आ रही है।।

रिश्तेदारों से भी दूरी बना ली, अतिथि देवो भव की गरिमा ही मिटा ली

अंक कम ना हो जाए हमारे बच्चे के

Generation Gap

Generation Gap means different persons taking birth in different time periods.  Also, we can understand it as to how one generation varies from the other. Since the time is changing; human-beings have evolved and become more advanced and developed than the earlier ones. This is what has created the Generation Gap.For now,

Well, this gap is very natural to exist. But is it friendly or creating worries in the parent-child relationship today?  Unfortunately, it has been seen to have an adverse effect on the relations between the kids and their parents. The two generations have conflicts in opinions, ideologies, traditions, and customs.

While the former have traditional ways of thinking, the latter refuses to accept them. Thus, it is very important to bridge this gap to develop a strong bond of love and happiness in families. Only by bridging this gap, we can cherish the beautiful relations gifted by God to us.

Effect of Generation-Gap on The Relations..

As time has evolved, the youth have also developed modern ways of thinking and living. Many a time, these changes do not conform to the thinking, belief, and expectations of the parents. They want their children to follow their advice and guidelines

However, youth is full of energy and enthusiasm. They want to explore the world. They develop a judgemental attitude. Although, they are taught to believe in some things, yet they refuse. They are ready to accept anything only on the basis of apt rationale and logic behind it.The ideas differ and so the conflict arises. Parents feel that their children do not listen to them. Also, children feel that their parents don’t understand them. These factors cause strain in the parent-child relationship...

Value of Education

The education starts at a much younger age. Our first tryst with learning begins at home, and our first teachers are our parents, grandparents, and often siblings.The importance of education lies in its continuity, learning is a lifetime process that will stop with our death. It is the foundation for the development of a healthy individual and society. Our world cannot have a bright future if our culture lacks education.

Education is the key to change. It is an important tool that allows a person to understand his or her rights and responsibilities to his or her family, society, and nation. It improves a person’s ability to view the world and to fight against misdoings such as injustice, corruption, and violence, among other things.If we look at the demographics, India is one of the most populated countries. However, the rate of girl education is quite low in the country. It is quite troubling to see the figures in a country where women are given the status of goddesses. The figures have significantly improved to an extent but there’s still a long way to go.But if you educate a woman, you educate a nation. When girls are educated, their countries become stronger and more prosperous. The highest result of education is tolerance. One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.Education is strength, education is marality

Education is courage, education is beauty

Without education what the destiny of women

Who are preys inthe hand of men

Oh,lord May all the women have education

So as to escape from the dilapidation.

Power of Prayer

Prayer is a powerful tool in our daily life. It provides mental peace, guidance, and a sense of connection with the divine.For some people, it is actually like a ray of hope. It makes them feel as if someone of supreme power is present to help them.

Prayers can be of different types. You can pray in a church, temple or even at your own home. No matter where you pray, the ultimate aim of everyone is to talk to God about their sorrows and happiness.Prayer is the first and best response when your children need discipline.  Prayer teaches them that God knows their failure and has a plan to redeem. When a parent prays with their child and asks God for wisdom to know how to discipline, the child is much more likely to learn from that discipline. Your child will learn that they need to make their mistakes right with God and right with others.

Hence there is no harm in dedicating give mintues of our time in praying .In fact,It helps the student to start a new day on a positive note.

ਨੀ ਮੇਰੀਏ ਮਾਏ

ਛੋਟੇ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਰੋਂਦੇ ਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰ ਨਾਲ ਚੁੱਪ ਕਰਾਉਣਾ

ਥਾਪੀ ਮਾਰ ਕੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਗੋਦੀ ਵਿਚ ਸੁਲਾਉਣਾ

ਪੁੱਤ ਦੀ ਹਰ ਜ਼ਿੱਦ ਨੂੰ ਪੁਗਾਉਣਾ,

ਰੁੱਸੇ ਹੋਏ ਨੂੰ ਅਪਣੇ ਮੋਹ ਨਾਲ ਪਤਿਆਉਣਾ 

ਆਪਣੇ ਪੁੱਤ ਦੀ ਹਰ ਜ਼ਰੂਰਤ ਨੂੰ ਅੱਗੇ ਲਿਆਉਣਾ

ਆਪਣਾ ਢਿੱਡ  ਕੱਟ ਕੇ ਪੁੱਤ ਨੂੰ ਖਿਲਾਉਣਾ

ਨੀ ਮਾਏ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਤੋਂ ਸੱਭ ਤੋਂ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾ ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਚਾਹੁਨਾ

ਨੀ ਮਾਏ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਤੋਂ ਸੱਭ ਤੋਂ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾ ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਚਾਹੁਨਾ

ਮਾਂ ਤੇ ਪੁੱਤ ਦਾ ਰਿਸ਼ਤਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਏ ਅਵੱਲਾ

ਮਾਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਪੁੱਤ ਨੂੰ ਕਦੇ ਛੱਡ ਦੀ ਨੀ ਇਕੱਲਾ 

ਮਾਂ ਜਿੰਨਾਂ ਪਿਆਰ ਕੋਈ ਕਰ ਨੀ ਸਕਦਾ ਝੱਲਾ

ਨੀ ਮਾਏ ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਕਦੇ ਨਾਂ ਛੱਡੂ ਇਕੱਲਾ

ਹਰ ਵੇਲੇ ਫੜ੍ਹ ਕੇ ਰੱਖੂੰ ਤੇਰਾ ਪੱਲਾ

ਆਪਣੇ ਪੁੱਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਹਰ ਮਾਂ ਦੀ ਵੱਸਦੀ ਜਾਨ

ਮਾਏ ਤੇਰੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਮੈਂ ਕਰਦਾਂ ਹਰ ਚੀਜ਼ ਕੁਰਬਾਨ

ਨੀ ਮਾਏ ਹੁਣ ਰੱਬ ਕੋਲੋਂ ਇੱਕੋ ਮੰਗ ਮੰਗਾਂ 

ਹਰ ਜਨਮ ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੀ ਕੁੱਖੋਂ ਜੰਮਾਂ।

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਸਾਹਿਤ ਦੇ ਬਾਬਾ ਬੋਹੜ ਸੰਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਸੇਖੋਂ

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ   ਸਾਹਿਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੰਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਸੇਖੋਂ ਬਾਬਾ ਬੋਹੜ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ । ਸੰਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਸੇਖੋਂ  (30 ਮਈ 1908 -7 ਅਕਤੂਬਰ 1997) ਜਿਸਨੇ ਸਾਹਿਤ ਦੇ ਹਰ ਰੂਪ ਵਿਚ ਕਲਾ ਦੀ ਸਫਲ ਪ੍ਰਦਰਸ਼ਨੀ ਕੀਤੀ ਪਰ ਨਾਟਕ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ ਤੌਰ ’ਤੇ ਜੁੜਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੋਣ ਕਰਕੇ ਬਾਬਾ ਬੋਹੜ ਨਾਟਕ ਲਈ ਵਧੇਰੇ ਢੁੱਕਵਾਂ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਸੀ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਸੇਖੋਂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨੇ ਬਾਬਾ ਬੋਹੜ ਇਸ ਲਈ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਲਿਖਿਆ।ਬਾਬਾ ਬੋਹੜ ਸੇਖੋਂ ਦਾ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਇਕ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ ਸਫਲ ਕਾਵਿ ਨਾਟਕ ਸੀ ਜਿਸ ਵਿਚ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦਾ ਸਾਰਾ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ ਪੜ੍ਹਨ ਨੂੰ ਮਿਲਦਾ ਹੈ। ਨਾਟਕ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ ਰੌਚਿਕ ਢੰਗ ਨਾਲ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਵਿਚ ਕੁਝ ਲੋਕ ਬੋਹੜ ਦੀ ਸੰਘਣੀ ਛਾਂ ਥੱਲੇ ਬੈਠਦੇ ਹਨ ਤੇ ਉਸ ਨਾਲ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੇ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ ਬਾਰੇ ਕੁੱਝ ਸੁਆਲ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਤੇ ਬਾਬਾ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਸੁਆਲਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਹੀ-ਸਹੀ ਜੁਆਬ ਦੇਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਸੇਖੋਂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨਾਲ ਇਵੇਂ ਜੁੜ ਗਿਆ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਇਹ ਉਪਨਾਮ ਹੋਵੇ।

ਜਿੰਨੀ ਬਹਿਸ ਤੇ ਕਲਾ ਨਾਲ ਸਬੰਧਿਤ ਵਿਚਾਰਧਾਰਾ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਟਕ ਕਲਾਕਾਰ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਹੋਈ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਆਲੋਚਨਾ ਦਾ ਕੱਦ ਹੋਰ ਲੰਮੇਰਾ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਇਸ ਵਿਚਾਰਧਾਰਾ ਨੇ ਪ੍ਰੋ. ਕਿਸ਼ਨ ਸਿੰਘ ਵਰਗਾ ਧਾਕੜ ਆਲੋਚਕ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਨੂੰ ਦਿੱਤਾ।

ਦੂਜਾ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਜੋ ਸੇਖੋਂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੀ ਬੇਹੱਦ ਹਰਮਨ ਪਿਆਰਤਾ ਦਾ ਸਬੂਤ ਬਣਿਆ ੳੇੁਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਅਮਰ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਪ੍ਰੇਮੀ ਦੇ ਨਿਆਣੇ ਹੈ ਜਿਸ ਕਾਰਨ ਗਲੀਆਂ ਵਿਚ ਸਕੂਲ ਦੇ ਬੱਚੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਤੁਰਦੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਵੀ ਕਹਿ ਦੇਂਦੇ ਕਿ ਉਹ ‘ਪ੍ਰੇਮੀ ਦੇ ਨਿਆਣੇ’ ਲਿਖਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਸਕੂਲਾਂ ਦੇ ਸਲੇਬਸਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਸਦਾ ਪਾਠ ਪੁਸਤਕ ਦਾ ਹਿੱਸਾ ਬਣੀ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ|

ਸਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਸੇਖੋਂ ਜਿੱਥੇ ਇਕ ਮਹਾਨ ਮਾਰਕਸਵਾਦੀ ਵਿਚਾਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਵਿਦਵਾਨ ਲਿਖਾਰੀ ਸਨ ਉੱਥੇ ਇਕ ਮੌਲਿਕ ਰਚਨਾਵਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਿਰਜਣਾ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਕਹਾਣੀਕਾਰ, ਨਾਵਲਕਾਰ ਆਲੋਚਕ, ਨਾਟਕਕਾਰ ਵੀ ਸਨ। ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਸਭ ਗੁਣਾਂ ਦੇ ਹੁੰਦਿਆਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਹੰਕਾਰ ਨਾ ਮਾਤਰ ਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ। ਜੋ ਕੁੱਝ ਵੀ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਉਸ ਸਮੇਂ ਦੇ ਵਾਤਾਵਰਨ ਦੇ ਅਨੁਕੂਲ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਲਿਖਿਆ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਲਿਖੇ ਸਾਹਿਤ ਤੇ ਇਕ ਪੜਚੋਲਵੀ ਨਜ਼ਰ ਮਾਰਨਾ ਬੜੀ ਕਾਰਗਰ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ।

ਸੰਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਸੇਖੋਂ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਕੋਈ ਵਿਕਸਤ ਅਵਸਥਾ ਵਿਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ ਆਈ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਕੇਵਲ ਵਿਸ਼ੇ ਦੇ ਪੱਖ ਤੋਂ ਕਮਜ਼ੋਰ ਤੇ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਦਾ ਲਿਖਣ ਢੰਗ ਵੀ ਰਵਾਇਤੀ ਕਿਸਮ ਦਾ ਸੀ। ਤਕਨੀਕੀ ਪੱਖ ਤੋਂ ਇਸ ’ਚ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਊਣਤਾਈਆਂ ਸਨ ।

ਕਹਾਣੀ ਦਾ ਆਧੁਨਿਕ ਰੂਪ ਸੰਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਸੇਖੋਂ, ਕਰਤਾਰ ਸਿੰਘ ਦੁੱਗਲ, ਦਲੀਪ ਕੌਰ ਟਿਵਾਣਾ, ਕੁਲਵੰਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਵਿਰਕ, ਗੁਰਦਿਆਲ ਸਿੰਘ, ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ ਦੇ ਪ੍ਰਵੇਸ਼ ਨਾਲ ਇਹ ਰੂਪ ਮਜ਼ਬੂਤ ਹੋਣਾ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਹੋਇਆ। ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਜੋ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਧਾਰਮਿਕ, ਸਦਾਚਾਰਕ ਵਲਗਣਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਘਿਰੀ ਹੋਈ ਸੀ, ਉਸ ਵਿਚ ਸਮਾਜਕ ਅੰਸ਼ ਵੀ ਆਉਣਾ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ।

ਸੰਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਸੇਖੋਂ ਨੇ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਮਾਰਕਸਵਾਦੀ ਦ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟੀਕੋਣ ਤੋਂ ਪ੍ਰਭਾਵਿਤ ਕਹਾਣੀਆਂ ਲਿਖੀਆਂ। ਦੁੱਗਲ ਨੇ ਇਸ ਵਿਚ ਮਨੋਵਿਗਿਆਨ ਦਾ ਅੰਸ਼ ਪਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਸੇਖੋਂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨੂੰ ਇਸ ਗੱਲ ਦਾ ਸਿਹਰਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਨਿੱਕੀ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਦੀ ਬੁਨਿਆਦ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਰੱਖੀ। ਨਾ ਕੇਵਲ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਦਾ ਰੂਪ ਸੰਵਾਰਿਆ ਸਗੋਂ ਨਾਵਲਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਵੀ ਸਮਾਜਵਾਦ ਲਿਆਂਦਾ। ਕਈ ਰਚਨਾਵਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਂ ਵੀ ਸਮਾਜਵਾਦ ਤੋਂ ਪ੍ਰੇਰਿਤ ਸਨ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਪ੍ਰਸਿੱਧ ਨਾਵਲ ‘ਲਹੂ ਮਿੱਟੀ’ ਇਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਕਈ ਕਹਾਣੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਂ ਵੀ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਕਾਮੇ ਤੇ ਯੋਧੇ, ਆਦਿ ਸੇਖੋਂ ਦੀ ਵਿਚਾਰਧਾਰਾ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਸੇਖੋਂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੀਆਂ ਹੁਨਰੀ ਕਹਾਣੀਆਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਪੁਸਤਕਾਂ ਸਮਾਚਾਰ, ਅੱਧੀ ਵਾਟ, ਤੀਜਾ ਪਹਿਰ ਵਿਚ ਅੰਕਿਤ ਹਨ।

ਸੰਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਸੇਖੋਂ ਨੇ ਜੋ ਕੁੱਝ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਮਾਰਕਸ ਦੇ ਮੁਢਲੇ ਅਸੂਲਾਂ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਆਲੋਚਨਾ ਕੀਤੀ । ਸਾਹਿਤਾਰਥ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਾਹਿਤ ਨਾਲ ਜੁੜਨ ਲਈ ਇਕ ਪ੍ਰਸਿੱਧ ਪੁਸਤਕ ਹੈ।  1972 ’ਚ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ‘ਮਿੱਤਰ ਪਿਆਰਾ’ ਲਿਖਣ ’ਤੇ ਸਾਹਿਤ ਅਕਾਦਮੀ ਇਨਾਮ ਮਿਲਿਆ।

ਸਰਕਾਰ ਨੇ ਪਦਮਸ੍ਰੀ ਨਾਲ ਨਵਾਜ਼ਿਆ। ‘ਹੱਲ ਵਾਹ’ ਅਤੇ ‘ਪ੍ਰੇਮੀ ਦੇ ਨਿਆਣੇ’ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਚਰਚਿਤ ਕਹਾਣੀਆਂ ਹਨ।

*An Ideal Teacher*

An Ideal Teacher is one that is dedicated towards their children’s learning journey. They look out for the students, help them, motivate them, understand their requirements and problems and guide them through it all. For me, my class teacher, Amita ma’am, was an ideal teacher. She was our science teacher. Although I always find the subject difficult, she made learning all the new theories fun for us.  

She believed that science is best understood by asking lots of questions. She motivated us to be curious and find our answers with her guidance. But when some students didn't understand the lessons, she focused on them patiently, without getting angry at them. She motivated us to work hard, be creative, have a rich imagination and be confident. I was always keen to attend her classes.

 A good teacher is not that hard to find, but you must know where to look. The good teachers are well-prepared in advance for their education goals. They prepare their plan of action every day to ensure maximum productivity. Teachers have a lot of knowledge about everything, specifically in the subject they specialize in. A good teacher expands their knowledge continues to provide good answers to their students.

Similarly, a good teacher is like a friend that helps us in all our troubles. A good teacher creates their individual learning process which is unique and not mainstream. This makes the students learn the subject in a better manner. In other words, a good teacher ensures their students are learning efficiently and scoring good marks.

Most importantly, a good teacher is one who does not merely focus on our academic performance but our overall development. Only then can a student truly grow. Thus, good teachers will understand their student’s problems and try to deal with them correctly. They make the student feel like they always have someone to talk to if they can’t do it at home or with their friends.

Create a consistent study schedule.

 For better education there is need to maintain your schedule firstly.

In order to help your brain prepare to retain information, try setting up specific times during the week for designated studying. If you have a specific study schedule, your brain will recognize the pattern and become more receptive to new information during these study times. It’s helpful to study within 24 hours of learning new material, as studies show that if a student reviews what they have learned from that day, they are 60% more likely to remember the information.

Another recommended time slot for studying would be right before you go to sleep. While you’re sleeping, your brain is working to strengthen and retain new memories. Because of this, if you study just before sleep, your brain will readily retain the new information.

NATURE IS OUR GREATEST SPIRITUAL TEACHER

 It makes us confident,tough soft hearted and loving .It gives everything it has to nurture us and to delight us every time .

Everything in nature is so grand and flawlessly perfect it teaches  us all the life transforming lessons of greatness, beauty, patience hard work ,peace, kindness and  acceptance and many more. The sun teaches us shine and give light to the world..The moon teaches us how to be calm and shine even in darkness .Trees teach us sharing and caring. The river teaches us how to move forward in our life even when we are facing challenges ..so observe the nature carefully which teaches us great lessons of life ...Now a days due to our hectic schedule,we hardly find any time to enjoy the beauties of nature but we can learn from her the art of being calm and composed. 

Nature is silent teacher, friend, philosopher and guide... like every plant is ddifferent, one need to be watered once a week and some more often some need direct sunlight and other just a spot of sun..metaphorically nature teaches that each person just need to be treated with care and be handled in the proper 'light' to thrive at their best capabilities

Mother

The bond between a mother and her child is unique, and there is no relationship like it in the world. A mother takes care of her child, her husband, and her parents. A mother plays many roles in their life. She always prays to God for her child and family to be happy in life, not caring for herself but prioritizing her family. When a mother is in pain, she doesn't let anyone in the family know. A mother motivates and protects her child, making sacrifices for all their needs. Unfortunately, some children may not fully understand the importance of their mother.

I want to share my personal experience. My mother is great because my father passed away when I was only 28 days old, a significant loss for the family, especially for my mother. Despite this, she knew how to take care of me. Whenever I see my mother, tears well up in my eyes. I am always thankful to God for giving me the best mother in the world. I respect her and strive to overcome the challenges she faces. Please respect your mother because not everyone has a mother like you do.

I love my mother ❤️.

The Essence of Relations in the Modern World

In the intricate tapestry of life, relations emerge as the vibrant threads that weave together the very fabric of our existence. From the tender bond between a mother and her child to the camaraderie shared among friends and the unbreakable ties within a family, relations play a pivotal role in shaping our journey through life.

These connections bring color to the canvas of our lives, infusing it with the hues of love, affection, care, and respect. They are the source of vitality that prevents our existence from becoming dull and monotonous. While relations may sometimes taste bitter, that bitterness often carries the profound essence of sweetness, adding depth and richness to our experiences.

Relations act as guiding stars, steering us away from wrong paths and motivating us to pursue our dreams. They provide a sense of security and instill in us a feeling of responsibility. In essence, they contribute to our completeness as individuals.

However, there's a lamentable truth that cannot be ignored—the erosion of relations in the face of technological advancements. While technology was originally designed to foster growth and economic development, it inadvertently serves as a double-edged sword, distancing us from the very connections that define our humanity.

The laughter and warmth of family gatherings are increasingly replaced by the virtual glow of social media interactions. Elders, instead of imparting wisdom to the younger generation, find themselves engrossed in the digital realm. The familial bonds that once held communities together are gradually eroding, leaving a void in our lives.

It is incumbent upon us to recognize this shift and take responsibility for preserving and strengthening our relationships. Amid the allure of technology, we must consciously choose to prioritize face-to-face interactions and genuine connections. Let us hold tight to the unraveling threads of relations, weaving them back into the rich tapestry of our lives. For in doing so, we not only honor the past but also ensure a vibrant and connected future for generations to come."

DAD...!

Life is boring without a dad because a dad is a protector, problem solver, and permission giver. A dad is a gift from God, and not everyone is fortunate enough to have one. Some of us are not that lucky, and they cannot experience having a dad.

A dad is always a problem solver. When a child encounters a problem, they may go to friends first, and if they cannot find a solution there, they turn to their mother. Sometimes, even the mother cannot solve the problem, so they go to their dad, knowing that he is the best adviser. Dads always provide correct answers to the questions a child may have, and children have strong faith in their dads because they know their dads have the answers.

Dads are not only problem solvers but also permission givers. Dads want to see their children thrive and always grant them healthy permissions. The enjoyment dads experienced in their time is shared with their children. However, nowadays, some children may not fully appreciate their dads, not realizing the importance of their presence.

I haven't been as fortunate because I lost my dad eight years ago. It's my personal experience that life without a dad is boring. I urge all my dear friends to respect their dads as they are a God-given gift.

Thank you!

Cultural Navigation: Literature's Role in Guiding Today's Youth

In the vast tapestry of human expression, literature emerges as a potent catalyst for transformation. With an expansive array of works covering diverse topics, it serves as a repository of wisdom, teeming with examples, stories, and the collective experiences of writers and the masses. Its pages unfold life lessons, offering profound insights into the human condition.

Within this literary landscape, poetry stands out as a powerful tool, providing a nuanced outlet for emotions and an avenue for self-expression. Amidst the digital age's easy access to the internet and the allure of a fabricated world in reels and videos, today's youth grapples with distraction.

Yet, in the midst of this virtual labyrinth, the youth bears a weighty responsibility: to carry forward their culture and tradition. Paradoxically, there exists a reluctance, a shame in embracing these roots. Many are unaware that the abandonment of tradition imperils their very essence and identity.

As the clash between the virtual and the cultural unfolds, literature remains a timeless guide, reminding the youth of the profound significance of their roots and the urgency to preserve their heritage for a sustainable existence.

November 21, The Day I Lost My Shadow

It was NOVEMBER 21 I lost my shadow,

Who was dear to my heart 

suddenly left me apart,

It was November 21 i lost my Dad !

I was in Grade 8 when went home he was Dead.

when i touch him was warm and shook his Head.

No more Tears No more Sufferings ,

i Won The battle of Emotions alone ,

And can Proudly say

 YES I LIVE WITHOUT A SHADOW.

Have You Seen  My DAD

As saying him goodbye still hurts too BAD,

Cant Say You Bye My FATHER,

NOT the end To See Each OTHER,

It was November 21 I lost my shadow .

ਨਸ਼ਾ ਮੁਕਤ ਪੰਜਾਬ

ਦੱਸੋ ਕਿੱਥੋਂ ਵਧੂ ਫੁੱਲੂ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦਾ ਏਹ ਬੂਟਾ ? 

ਜਿਹਦੀ ਜੜ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਸਦਾ ਲਈ ਸਮੈਕ ਬੈਠ ਗਈ ..

ਲੱਗੀ ਰਹਿੰਦੀ ਭੀੜ ਨਿੱਤ ਠੇਕਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਉੱਤੇ,

 ਕੋਈ ਖੇਡ ਦੇ ਮੈਦਾਨ ਚ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਹੀ ਦਿਖਦਾ ..

ਕਿਉਂ ਵਧੀਕੀ ਨਸ਼ਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਚੁੱਪਚਾਪ ਅਸੀਂ ਸਹੀਏ ? 

ਕਿਉਂ ਵਿਰਾਸਤਾਂ ਦਾ ਮੁੱਲ ਨਿੱਤ ਬਲ਼ੀਆਂ ਚ ਦੇਈਏ ?
