Is Day care beneficial for children under the age of five?

          When you were a child , who takes care of you? In my case, i was taken care at home by my mother as that time the cost of living was not that high but now, the cost of living is so high that everyone at home has to work to earn their living. After marriage,the couple faces difficult decision about babies while they are establishing careers. Their decision is very tough whether they should continue working or not. If so, who will take care of their child.  So, day care is a good choice for parents who both work, because they want to continue with their careers.

         The first reason that day care is beneficial is that parents can go to work and earn more money. If parents do not use daycare and if they go to work with their children, they will have to take care of the children. Many companies nowadays provide daycare centers at their company for working parents who have young children in order to avoid this situation, so parents can continue working for their child's future. Sometimes one of the parents decide to stop working so that they can take care of their child. As a result, they, the family earning reduced to the half and due to this there will be lack of many things for children such as family vacations, tutorial lessons or children music/dance lessons etc.         
         The second reason is day care can offer some social and educational advantages for parents and children alike, as long as the daycare providers focus on education and healthy development. Child care centers are benificial and help a child’s development, prepare a child for school, and create positive life pattern. Child’s development is important so in day care centers, they learn social skills and gain education at an early age. It is said that children’s brains grow faster during the first five years of their life. At day care center children learn how to express themself, their feelings and the ways of communications. So it is important that child can learn and increase the ability to express.

        In others opinion, child care centers may not beneficial as their child may not get attention which they will get from their parents at home.This kind of opinion makes sense.However, on the other hand the care takers there work under experienced supervisors and were observed always and on the top the care takers were paid to take care of the child. Nobody want to loose their job just for unprofesionalism.
            In conclusion, day care centers are the best options for the kids so that they can learn social skills and the ability to understand things. Sending your loving kid to day care center doesn't mean that you are bad parents, however the parents should be proud that they are doing good for their child.

SUPERSTITIONS:-
Superstition in a wider sense means irrational fear of the unknown and mysteries. When people cannot justify certain things they assign mysteries and the cause of that happening. But the reality is different, there are things that man has not been able to explain with his limited knowledge. That is why there are superstitions in each and every community. Every community has different beliefs to become superstitious.

                   One interesting fact is that there is superstition at the root of religious faith and even in the belief in God. The Hindus consider a sneeze or the cry of a lizard or call from behind while leaving as ominous.  In our country it is said that if a black cat crosses someone's path, the journey is considered to be inauspicious. And the number thirteen is unlucky so it should be voided anyhow. "Superstition is a part of the very being of humanity."


                    Another is, certain combinations of stars and days of the moon are regarded as inauspicious.During the days of eclipse, pregnant lady has to hide herself in a dark room so that the eclipse will not harm the baby. And if the pregnant lady write something, there will be scar anywhere on her baby's body resembling that. So, they avoid doing anything at that point of time. It is wisely said by Bacon , "There is a superstition in avoiding superstition."
 


                    Superstition is very natural to man. But that does not conclude that it should be ignored. It is our duty to free our society from the effect of superstitions. It can be done with the help of educating people. Science conferences should be held and common people should be made aware of the importance of a scientific outlook and the harmful aspects of superstition.

VEGETARINISM:-
                                 Who are vegetarians? Vegetarians are people who do not eat meat.
"VEGETARINISM" means a diet excluding all meat and fish. Vegetarinism is primarily based on plants food like to eating fruits, vegetables etc. and not to eat animal origin. Acording to me being a vegetarian is not a good idea but eating fresh fruits and vegetables is a healthy idea with a good health. Vegetarinism is like, one is on dieting  not to eat non-veg. ,only veg. food which benifits health. Many people chose vegetarinism for culture, religious beliefs or ecological reasons. In this universe ,there are so many religions and their culture which do not allows them to eat non veg. So this is the one of the main reasons of vegetarinism. Ecologically people do not eat animal origin because they love them. Some of the vegetarians eat eggs for protein and according to me eating eggs is also non vegetarinism. However these type of people are called semi- vegetarians. In contrast, people who ate animal origin earlier and now they have stopped eating them due to any reason like religion, or culture, they are also a type of semi-vegetarians. So accordingly people who are vegetarians have good health.

                     Necessity is the mother of invention, due to life's  needs, people start to invent methods to making their lives easier. There are lots of examples on the modern inventions like: computers, planes and cell-phones. All these stuff changed our lives and made it more comfortable and luxuries. Our world had experienced many changes within the last century, and one of the most influence changes is the invention of the cellphone. The cellphone has completely changed the way we communicate,  convenience, and quality of our communication.
 
    The cell phone has made communication more convenient than ever before, however earlier people used to write letters and post them to their relatives and friends. On the other hand, now people have a great invention of cell phone with them so that they can make a phone call anytime, anywhere..
 
            In addition, when people send letters earlier it took so much of time to inform other person about anything, but now people have the most convenient way to inform others by sending sms and to talk to them. Cells phones have created a network of human beings. However in the past, networks of people were limited, because it took lots of time and effort to spread news.
           These improvement of communications have resulted good, but in a decrease of the quality of communication also. Communication is so easy nowadays, people take less time to think about what they're saying. An accurately conveyed message is less valuable, because people take communication for granted. People think that if a mistake is made, it can quickly be fixed with another phone call.  However, when people in past write letters, they first think about what they have to say. Whatever was written that was done, nothing can be fixed so quickly or easily. It will never be same as it was.
           The invention of the cellphone has changed the society by giving us the amazing power of communication. However, the cell phone is a great invention that has changed the convenience, speed, and efficiency of our modern day communication.

                                                 "Diwali Festival of INDIA"
                              
                         Festivals are an event, usually and ordinarily staged by a local community, which centers on and celebrates some unique aspect of that community. Festivals in India are an integral part of people's life. Festivals of India portray the rich cultural heritage of the country.One of the main and important festivals of India is "DIWALI." The festival has been celebrated for ages in India.But do you have any idea how and when did it first originate? What is the History of this festival, meaning and how it is celebrated?
Decorated with Diyas 'LAMPS'
   
    Diwali is the time to enjoy the delicious sweets, light the bright lamps and have a sparkling celebration.The history of Diwali celebrations is nearly as old as the history of India. It is since ancient times that Diwali has been celebrated. It is not easy to say now what really was the reason behind its origin. Different people believe different events to be the cause behind this festival. The most well known story behind Diwali is in the Ramayana, the great Hindu epic. According to Ramayana, Rama, the prince of Ayodhya was ordered by his father, King Dasharatha, to go away from his country and come back after living in the forest for fourteen years. So Rama went on exile with his devoted wife Sita and faithful brother, Lakshmana. When Ravana, the demon king of Lanka abducted Sita and took her away to his island kingdom of Lanka, Rama fought against and killed Ravana. He rescued Sita and returned to Ayodhya after fourteen years. The people of Ayodhya were very happy to hear of their beloved prince's homecoming. To celebrate Rama's return to Ayodhya, they lit up their houses with earthen lamps (diyas), burst crackers and decorated the entire city in the grandest manner.This is believed to have started the tradition of Diwali. Year after year this homecoming of Lord Rama is celebrated on Diwali with lights, fireworks and bursting of crackers. The festival gets its name Deepawali, or Diwali, from the rows (avali) of lamps (deepa) that the people of Ayodhya lit to welcome their King.

  "FIRE CRACKERS"




    The word "Diwali" is a variation of the Sanskrit word "Deepavali" which means "a continuous line of lamps" (The word 'Deep' means "light", and 'avali' means "a continuous line"). Thus, Diwali is the time to celebrate with lights.




    The first day of Diwali is Dhanteras. Doorways are hung with torans of mango leaves and marigolds. Rangolis are drawn with different coloured powders to welcome guests. The traditional motifs are often linked with auspicious symbols of good luck. Oil diyas are arranged in and around the house. Because of these flickering lamps, the festival has acquired its name : Dipawali or Diwali meaning `a rows of lamps'. On this day, people buy something for the house or some jewellery for the women of the house. It is auspicious to be buy something metallic, esp silver. The next day is also called Chhoti Diwali.On the dark new moon night, the entrances to all homes are lit up and decorated with rangoli patterns to welcome Lakshmi, the radiant consort of Vishnu and the goddess of wealth and lustre. Lakshmi Puja is performed on this day. Diwali is the last day of financial year in traditional Hindu business and businessmen. The day ends with a mega cracker bursting sessions. For 5-6 hours, every family burns fire crackers worth thousands of ruppees. Poplular fire crackers are sparkling pots, bombs, rockets etc.

    Diwali, one of the longest festivals in the Hindu year, is a time when everything in India comes to a standstill except family life, feasting and shopping. Diwali is considered auspicious for shopping, inaugurations of new homes, business deals or for starting any new ventures and projects. In short, Diwali is festival of excitement. According to me, this festival should never end but anything that has started should meet its end. But, this festival always ends happily. I like this festival very much.
