FROM LETTERS TO WHATSAPP: HOW COMMUNICATION HAS CHANGED

Image
  From Letters to WhatsApp: How Communication Has Changed From the Quiet Hills of Uttarakhand to the Digital World of Today There was a time when communication was a slow and patient affair. A letter could take days or even weeks to reach a remote village, and sometimes the greater challenge was not receiving the letter but finding someone who could read it. Today, we live in a completely different world. A message can travel from a small village in Uttarakhand to any corner of the world within seconds. With a mobile phone, WhatsApp, video calls and social media, distance has almost disappeared. The journey from letters to WhatsApp is not merely a story of technological progress. It is also a story of education, changing lifestyles, rural development and the changing face of Indian society. The Hills of Uttarakhand: A Different World During the British period, and for many years afterwards, many remote villages in the hills of Uttarakhand had little or no access to formal ed...

Image
  Why Senior Citizens Should Keep Writing: A New Beginning After 60 Introduction Laxman Singh Aithani at Sardar Patel Stadium, Ajmer( Raj) Young age is often called the golden era of life . It is the time when we study, build our careers, take up jobs, establish families and work hard to fulfil our dreams.

AGE IS A NUMBER: WHAT I HAVE LEARNT AFTER 70s

Image
  Age Is a Number: What I Have Learnt After 70s “Age is a number, but the spirit with which we live determines how young we really are.” After crossing the age of 70, I have begun to look at life differently. When we are young, we often believe that success means having a good job, earning money, achieving a high position, owning property and gaining recognition. But with advancing age, our priorities gradually change. Today, I believe that peace of mind, good health, friendship, social activity, kindness and the ability to help others are among life's greatest achievements. I have learnt many lessons after entering my seventies. Some came from books and newspapers, some from people around me, and many came from my own experiences.
