Ladies and gentlemen, “Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.” – Albert Einstein Albert Einstein once said, “Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.” These words are more than a quote; they are a guiding principle for humanity. They remind us that real peace is not built on power, fear, or control — it is built on empathy, compassion, and the willingness to understand one another. Force may stop a conflict for a moment, but it cannot heal wounds. It may silence voices, but it cannot change hearts. History is full of examples where battles were won through strength, yet wars of hatred and division continued because understanding was never achieved. True peace, lasting peace, comes only when we open our hearts and minds to truly see one another. Understanding begins with listening — not just hearing words, but listening to the emotions, the pain, and the stories behind those words. When we listen with empathy, w...

  C ognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)is simple talk therapy and easy to use technique. CBT was developed by psychiatrist “Aaron Beck ”in 1960s. It focused on dysfunctional thoughts, which cause the adverse emotional consequences. Dysfunctional thoughts are dispute to change the negative emotions. It is mainly followed by different sessions, having a composite structure. I’m going to explain the second session of CBT that begins after the completion of  the first  session.

The  format  of the second session is as follow: T he setting of Agenda:  The therapist and client collaboratively set the agenda for therapy sessions. The therapist identifies and prioritizes which topics will discuss dur...

In the rush of our daily lives, we often overlook the simplest yet most extraordinary miracle we experience every day: waking up. We forget that opening our eyes to a new morning is not guaranteed. We forget that breathing freely, feeling the light of a new day, and having another chance to live is the first thing we should be grateful for. Gratitude is often reserved for big achievements—success, wealth, recognition, or milestones. But true gratitude begins much earlier, much simpler. It begins the moment we wake up. Before our phones buzz, before responsibilities crowd our minds, before worries make their presence known, we have already received a priceless gift: life itself. Every morning is a silent reminder that our story is not finished. No matter what happened yesterday—whether it was failure or success, pain or progress—waking up means we have been given another opportunity. Another chance to learn. Another chance to love. Another chance to forgive. Another chance to become b...

Ladies and gentlemen, Buddha once said, “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” These words, though simple, hold profound meaning — a message that resonates across centuries, cultures, and generations. In a world that is constantly noisy, restless, and demanding, this wisdom invites us to pause and reflect: true peace is not something we can buy, borrow, or beg for from the outside world. It begins within us. Too often, we think peace will come when life finally aligns perfectly — when we get the dream job, the perfect relationship, the ideal home, or the recognition we crave. But life is unpredictable. Challenges will come, storms will rise, and not every plan will unfold as we imagined. If our peace depends on external circumstances, it will always be fragile. Buddha’s words remind us that peace is an inner state , a choice we make every day. It is the quiet confidence of knowing who we are, the strength to stay calm in chaos, and the courage to let go of things we...

Victor Emmanuel III was born on November 11, 1869 , in Naples, the sole son of King Umberto I. Following a conventional military upbringing, he ascended the Italian throne unexpectedly at age 30 , on July 29, 1900, upon his father’s assassination. Though constitutionally empowered, he was a reserved and reluctant politician, often choosing to stay on the sidelines and entrust governance to the liberal statesman Giovanni Giolitti. His early reign aligned closely with Giolitti’s vision for modernization: Italy industrialized, expanded suffrage, and invested in infrastructure—railways, roads, education, and public health—while fostering civic institutions. On the international stage, Victor Emmanuel supported the Italo-Turkish War of 1911 , securing Libya as a colony. To commemorate Italy’s Quinquennial of Unification, he hastened the completion of the grand Vittoriano monument in Rome, symbolizing national resurgence. When World War I erupted, Italy initially stayed neutral before ev...

Today, I feel deeply honored to speak on a subject that touches the very soul of human progress—knowledge, wisdom, and creativity. The document before us speaks about Saraswati Puja, a celebration held with great devotion to honor Goddess Saraswati, the symbol of learning, wisdom, music, and art. But beyond ritual and tradition, this celebration carries a timeless message for every generation: that true growth begins with knowledge, and meaningful success is guided by wisdom. Saraswati Puja, also known as Vasant Panchami, is usually celebrated during the early months of the year, when nature itself begins to awaken. This timing is symbolic. Just as spring brings new life to the earth, education brings new life to the human mind. It renews our thinking, sharpens our vision, and opens doors to endless possibilities. On this day, students, teachers, artists, and scholars come together with humility, acknowledging that no matter how much we know, there is always more to learn. One of the...

The Chenab Rail Bridge, nestled in the rugged Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir, is a breathtaking testament to modern engineering and decades-long perseverance. Envisioned as part of the ambitious Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL), its roots trace back to the laying of the project's foundation stone in 1983, though full-scale construction only gained momentum in the mid-1990s. Approved in 2003, the bridge's journey was marked by delays due to the region’s formidable terrain and the need for design recalibrations, pushing work to resume earnestly in 2010. Constructed through the concerted effort of Indian Railways’ Konkan Railway Corporation with Afcons Infrastructure, Ultra Construction, VSL India, and global design expertise, the Chenab Bridge represents a deck-arch structure composed of steel and concrete, stretching about 1,315 meters (4,314 feet) in total length. Its defining feature is a colossal steel arch spanning 467 meters (1,532 feet), the longest of ...
