"Dear brothers and sisters, do remember one thing. Malala Day is not my day. Today is the day of every woman, every boy and every girl who have raised their voice for their rights" - Malala Yousafzai

She definitely doesn't need an introduction!!!

In an era of women empowerment, the fight for equal rights and the demand of education for all humanity regardless their colour, caste and creed. Amidst the on-going war between a globally backdated and orthodox mindset towards women and minor societies versus the overpowering rise of bringing awareness to this world. 

Enters this young lady from Pakistan, who took a huge step out of her comfort zone at the mere age of 17 and taught this world a much needed lesson about the right to education inspite of being at gunpoint and almost being shot to death by a terrifying group like Taliban in Oct, 2012.  


Hence, the journey from October, 2012 until she made her appearance at the Youth Takeover of the United Nations in July, 2013. One could only imagine how much courage this young woman must have gathered to address the whole world and still be so headstrong about her opinions.Her bravery is inspiring and hence she went on to become the youngest Nobel Peace Prize recipient in 2014. 

Her speech inspired many across the world. 

"One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world. Education is the only solution. Education is first"

"I raise up my voice not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice could be heard"

Name :- Malala Yousafzai. Age - 21. Nobel Peace Prize Recipient, 2014.

Mark Zuckerberg : The real face of Facebook.

College dropout. Billionaire. Controversial? Mark Zuckerberg, CEO & Founder of Facebook. If he wasn't the owner of the biggest social networking site of the world right now, this man from his appearance and demeanour would pass for someone who would just be happy with a 9 to 6 job after they graduate from college. Hence, the saying goes "Never judge a book by it's cover"  Mark seemed to be a quick learner, his father taught him ATARI basic programming in his early teens and from their his journey began. From developing a software which he called "ZuckNet" which enabled him to connect all the computers between his home and the dental office to communicate. Mark's friends at that age would play and fool around, draw and paint for leisure, he was even known to turn his friends' ideas, drawings and paintings in to video games. Moving forward to his late teens and life in HARVARD. Mark's life was no less than a rollercoaster ride. With all hi

Mishti Kolkata : On a sweet note!

Image
Roshogolla khabe? A question asked to every Bengali.  As a true blue Bengali, the thing I miss the most from home (KOLKATA) are the never-ending variety of sweets that the City Of Joy has to offer in every by-lane, street corner or even the busiest spots in town, the culture of eating sweets in Bengal is quite unmatchable as it's more than just feeding our appetite but, a customary ritual to soothe our tastebuds while we feed our souls with all that goodness.  It's a very old saying that, "You're what you eat". The people of Kolkata seemed to have taken this theory very seriously. With an immense intake of sweets on a regular basis along with all their meals during the day, it can only make the people more delightful, welcoming and pleasing just like a spread of your favourite sweets on one large silver plate. Probably it's the constant rendezvous with the irresistible 'mishtis' that lead to Bengali being called the sweetest language. I

In the first week of September, 2018, petrol price were hiked by 39 paise per litre and diesel by 44 paise per litre pushing the costs to the highest Delhi has ever witnessed.  The first Monday of October, 2018, the petrol prices in Mumbai crossed the Rs. 91 mark!! Opposition parties in the country announced nationwide strikes and protests claiming the record high fuel prices are a result of high taxes.  Former Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram had stated that the "Relentless rise in prices of petrol & diesel is not inevitable. Because the price is built up by excessive taxes on petrol & diesel. If taxes are cut, prices will decline significantly." THE IMPACT ON COMMON PEOPLE. With the daily revision in prices we might not always notice that our monthly fuel outgo is on the rise. But over time, this will definitely
