Image

World Population Day aims at increase people's awareness on various population issues such as the importance of family planning, gender equality, poverty, maternal health and human rights.

6th July, A Golden day of Independence for two African Countries : Comoros & Malawi.

Comoros The Union of the Comoros celebrates its Independence Day on July 6. This public holiday celebrates the day, when the Comoros gained independence from France. The Union of the Comoros consists of four islands: Grande Comore, Mohéli, Anjouan and Mayotte. The island of Mohéli became French protectorate in 1886, when its sultan Mardjani Abdou Cheikh asked protection from France. The same year one of the sultans of Grande Comore, Said Ali of Bambao, asked French for protection in exchange for their support of his claim to the entire island. The four islands were unified in a single administration and placed under French protection in 1908.

In 1973 France and the Comoros agreed on gaining independence, that would come into effect in 1978. The referendums were held on all four islands.

एक्टर बनना है?... ख़ुद से अलग होना सीखें!

Image
एक्टिंग का मतलब सिर्फ़ बॉलीवुड या हॉलीवुड ही नहीं होता। इसके अंदर बहुत गहराई है जिसमें डूबने के बाद ,  ज़िंदगी जीने का आपका नज़रिया ही बदल जाएगा।   जब आप एक्टिंग सीखने लगते हैं और एक्टिंग करने लगते हैं तब समझ में आने लगता है कि एक्टिंग सिर्फ़ ग्लैमर नहीं है ,  सिर्फ़ चकाचौंध नहीं है ,  बल्कि आत्मा को आत्मिक आनन्द देने वाली कला है | हालाँकि ये सच है कि ज़्यादातर लोग और युवा फ़िल्मों की चमक-दमक ,  नाम और पैसा देखकर ही एक्टिंग की ओर आकर्षित होते हैं लेकिन जो भी आप पर्दे पर देखते हैं ,  दरअसल वो तो एक बहुत बड़ी टीम का प्रयास है ,  एक प्रोडक्ट है। कहानी के संदेश को दर्शकों तक पहुँचाने वाला एक्टर भी इसी टीम का एक हिस्सा मात्र है l लेकिन चूँकि एक्टर का काम मानवीय संवेदनाओं से जुड़ा होता है इसलिए ये अत्यन्त दुष्कर और जटिल काम होता है क्योंकि इसमें आप अपने आप को भूलकर कुछ और बन जाते हैं ,  कुछ और हो जाते हैं आप वो बन जाते हैं जो आप वास्तविक ज़िंदगी में नहीं हैं अगर आप ख़ुद से अलग होना नहीं सीखेंगे तो आप दूसरे पात्र में भी नहीं ढल सकते। ये ए...

लिहाफ़ - Lihaaf | Hindi Story इतने सालों के साथ के बाद इतना तो मैं समझ सकता था कि कोई तो बात जरूर है कि कभी कभी रीना अपनी किसी ख्याली दुनिया में अक्सर गुम हो जाती है। हाँ , वैसे शिकायत नहीं कोई मुझे उससे। पर कभी- कभी महसूस होता है कि दस साल की शादी के बाद भी , कहीं कुछ तो था- एक इन्विज़िबल -सा गैप जो हमें अच्छे दोस्त बनने से रोकता- सा रहा था। आज फिर लेटे- लेटे यही ख्याल आ रहा था। “ सुनिए , एक बात कहनी थी आपसे " बालों में कंघा फिराते वह बोली। नींद को बमुश्किल अपने से दूर करते , लिहाफ के एक कोने से मुँह निकाल मैंने पूछा “ हाँ कहो , क्या हुआ ? “ वो दिन में चाचाजी का फोन आया था … कुछ दिनों में यहाँ आने की बात कर रहे थे …” “ अरे लो , आज तुम इसी सोच में डूबी हुई थी क्या ?… अच्छा है। पर तुम तो महान हो सच्ची। मायके से कोई आए , तो औरतें कितनी खुश हो जाया करती हैं। पर एक  तुम हो। शाम से ही कितना अजीब बिहेव कर रही हो। ये चाचाजी तो पहले भी तुम्हारे घर काफी आया जाया करते थे न। बढ़िया है।चलो आओ … लाइट ऑफ कर दो। ” लेकिन क्या इतनी -सी ही बात थी बस ? फिर रीना सारी रात करवटें क्यो...

The idea of a World Vitiligo Day was first nursed by Steve Haragadon, the founder of the Vitiligo Friends network, and then developed and finalized by Ogo Maduewesi, a Nigerian vitiligo patient who is the founder and Executive Director of the Vitiligo Support and Awareness Foundation (VITSAF). In her words, “World Vitiligo Day is a day to create extensive awareness on vitiligo and a day dedicated to all living with vitiligo globally”. The first World Vitiligo Day (also defined as “Vitiligo Awareness Day” or “Vitiligo Purple Fun day”, from the color chosen as Vitiligo Awareness Color) was observed on June 25, 2011. The...
