How Moms Help Kids Understand Operation Sindoor

 "A mother is a child’s first teacher she can turn the hardest lessons into stories of love and understanding." — Inspired by Maria Montessori

Yes, a mother often a child's first teacher, guide, and source of comfort can teach her children to face difficult situations with positivity and courage. In times of national tension, such as when India has launched Operation Sindoor to protect its citizens and curb terrorism, it is imperative that the conversation reaches every household. A mother’s role becomes even more crucial in explaining the various aspects of Operation Sindoor to her children. Understanding why India has taken these steps and how the situation has evolved, especially when a country must defend itself against attacks from a neighboring nation that supports terrorism becomes essential.

Young minds, influenced by news and social media, can become confused, anxious, or misinformed. It is a mother’s warmth and wisdom that can help them understand such complex issues with age-appropriate clarity and reassurance.

We have broadly listed pointers based on age groups and their levels of understanding to help parents plan their conversations.

Visionary Path by PM Modi

All eyed on his strategy for many days,
few with doubt but many with hopeful rays.

Step by step the decisive team accelerated,
on the path which led to strong initiative.

Gamy comments never blocked his vision;
only the bull’s eye was seen in unison.

Halting was not in his to do list,
there came the awaited positive twist.

All applauded his powerful stand;
only a group was left with empty hands.

Rising faith says we will shine brighter,
each joining to do their tasks steadier.

Dream of decades taken a righteous path;
once it seemed a far fetched tedious task.

The black haze now started to clear,
and every citizen can now proudly cheer.

The wave of change has begun,
happiness loom have started to spun.

Many faithful hands will join you leader,
to revive the long lost cheer.

 

रियो में भारत की धाक

रियो ने किया ओलंपिक का आगाज

बनाने खेलों के सरताज ,

चलो चलें जलवा दिखाने 

खेल के अद्भुत मैदान में । 

सीखने सिखाने की बारी आई

कुछ कर जाने की लौ जलाई ,

बरसों की मेहनत अब हैं छलकानी 

दृढ़ता से हर बाजी हैं खेलनी । 

डटकर खड़े है सारे खिलाड़ी खास

भारत की आज जमानी है धाक ,

आओ लहरा दे तिरंगा गर्व से

कठिन परिश्रम के सुन्हेंरे रंग से । 

करोड़ों दुआएँ होगी तुम सब के साथ

बस मन मे रखना संपुर्ण विश्वास ,

प्रदेश के हीरो अब स्वदेश मे हुनर दिखाएँगे

तिरंगे को ऊँचे स्तर पर अवश्य लहराएंगे ।

गर्व की परिभाषा : Poetry on Independence Day

Today on Independence Day, this hindi poetry raises an awareness on the duties a citizen can contribute to the welfare on nation.

आजादी का उत्सव है गर्व की परिभाषा ,

हर पलकों में छलके खुशियों भरी आशा । 

तिरंगे को आज नमन कर मैं भारतवासी ,

भूल गया हर वजह जो फैलाएं उदासी । 

जिस तिरंगे को देख मैं इठलाता हूँ ,

क्या वो भी मुझे देख सुखद लहराता हैं । 

इस प्रशन ने आज मुझे सतम्बित किया ,

गहरी सोच में डूबने पे विवष किया । 

क्या मेरी सफलताएँ बनी देश की भागी ,

या मैं अपने में मग्न बन रह गया परछाई । 

आज मैं सोचु मैंने किया क्या ऐसा ,

जिससे देश का मैं बनु गौरवमान हिस्सा । 

अब भी हुई नहीं देर देश की सेवा में ,

कुछ अंश मैं भी जोड़ दूँ उसकी गरिमा में । 

बह चलना है उन्नति की लहर में ,

बन के जोश की लहर हर सहर में । 

- सोनल 

English Translation:

Celebration of independence is meaning of proudness,
each eye is moist with happiness and hope.

Today I Indian bow to tricolour,
I forget every reason that reminds me of sorrow's.

A leap towards building Nation

In the world where everything is priced and labeled to an extent that one does not get free clean drinking water, if something comes free then every human is sure to grab it. Freebies always lure a common man; often many stores make a margining profit by giving amazing offers to customers. This way customer is also happy to spend and comeback to that store that promised them value for money.

Besides Internet has added much value in building customer-vendor relationship and today is the world of interconnectivity through varied platforms available all around. Noam Chomsky rightly said

“The internet could be a very positive step towards education, organisation and participation in a meaningful society.” The web has become an essential part of our day to day curriculum that people often require internet to walk hand in hand almost everywhere. Now a days where every task from paying electricity bill to booking an air, rail or bus ticket is done with the help of a click using an internet connection, imagine if a you are offered free internet service.

Keeping this in mind Reliance Communications & Facebook has taken a big leap by proving its users with the facility of internet.org free of cost where it covers a lot of information wherever we go.

Yes, you read it right! Free Internet access to users. A website internet.org is launched in India hosting free websites. Initially this service is started in 6 circles, and all users of reliance GSM Prepaid/Postpaid & CDMA Prepaid can take advantage of this freenet on internet.org.

When we plan to travel the top most tasks in our checklist is taking a data pack / Internet pack to make our journey hassle-free. The huge bills also keep us worrying every now and then. But with internet.org no special packs need to be subscribed for as it comes handy with Reliance connection making a common man’s life smoother. No more worries of account recharges as it is completely free of cost.

And free website range in various categories from entertainment to communication, women, health to education, finance and government. Internet is boon to humans and if it free then it can do wonders to humanity.

A Nation with internet.org can be empowered in several means..

1. 24*7 availability helps us

2. Safety websites are handy.

3. We are just a click away with updated information while travelling.

4. All parts of nation has common source of information

5. Easy for government to make digital India, as it is free for all to use it.

6. As listed sites are free, one will make maximum use of good websites.

7. Students can gather more information which can guide them in their study curriculum. The concepts could be made clearer through ample examples.

8. Women can make the most by keeping track of information. On a click she can order groceries, pay bills and make use of loads of information available on internet free of cost thus, keeping the budget of the home unchanged.

9. A boon to a common man who need not shell out extra pennies to avail the services.

10. The internet .org App that can be downloaded on android phones is also an added advantage.

Therefore life is to keep moving ahead and with internet.org there is nothing to worry. India is sure to take a giant leap in future. Finally would quote Jared Sandberg thought “One of the Internet's strengths is its ability to help consumers find the right needle in a digital haystack of data.”
