Two Tragic Incidents: Shiror Landslide and Delhi Waterlog

The recent two tragic incidents, the landslide in Shiror, Karnataka, and the waterlogging in Delhi have shocked and saddened the nation. These accidents show that we are vulnerable to natural forces and need better ways to manage disasters.

 

Shiror: A Heartbreaking Loss

 

The Shiror landslide tragically took many lives and has deeply affected the nation, especially the Malayali community. The landslide, caused by continuous rains, led to significant loss of life and property.  The disappearance of Arjun, who was loved by many, has made the grief even more intense. Rescue teams are working tirelessly to search for him and others who might still be trapped. This incident shows that we are not well-prepared for such disasters, even with today's technology. This raises important questions about how the government ensures citizen safety. While the search for survivors continues, this accident has started a bigger conversation about getting ready for disasters in places that are at risk.

 

Delhi: A City Overwhelmed by Grief

 

The unseasonal heavy rain in Delhi made the city into a maze of water and led to the deaths of three promising IAS aspirants. These young people, filled with hope and ambition, tragically lost their lives because the city couldn't handle the heavy rain. This incident has shown that Delhi's infrastructure needs to be improved urgently, and better urban planning is necessary. It reminds us that even a big city can be powerless against the weather.

A call to Act

Both of these tragedies show that we need to change how we manage disasters. Investing in early warning systems, strong infrastructure, and good plans for when people need to leave a place is crucial. It's also very important to educate people about getting ready for disasters. While these accidents have caused a lot of sadness, they have also brought communities together. The support for the families affected is a sign of the human spirit. Even as we feel the loss of lives, let's make a promise to turn this sadness into action. Let's build a stronger, better, and more caring nation so that we can stop tragedies like these from happening again.

The Golden Era of Relationships: Where Did It Go?

By Riya Baby Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how relationships have changed — how we’ve changed. I remember my childhood so vividly — especially the holidays. Oh, what a beautiful time that was! Cousins from different places would come together under one roof. We would sleep in one big room, laugh until midnight, share food from the same plate, take baths in the courtyard, and even say our prayers together. We did everything together. And it wasn’t just the cousins. Even neighbours were like family. Aunties next door knew everything about us — not in a nosy way, but in a loving, caring way. If you were sick, they’d bring soup before your parents could. If you achieved something, they'd celebrate as if it were their own child’s success. There was so much trust. So much togetherness. But now… something feels broken.   The Great Drift Everyone seems to be busy — constantly. We barely have time for our own families, let alone extended ones. People live in the same house but sta...

Article Review The indexer

Article Review Young, France. (2018), ‘Biblical reference indexing: the challenge’, The indexer, 36 (4),14-15. In this article, the author briefed about the biblical reference indexing and the main challenges that face the indexer. The purpose of a biblical reference index is to help the readers to understand the chapters and verses of the Bible and to find out how the author makes use of the Scripture.  According to the author, the first issue regarding the template for representing the biblical reference is the different forms of Christianity, and the second issue is due to the extra-canonical books written as Scripture by early Christians. Another vital issue is with the different names of the biblical books. Furthermore, the author pointed out that the indexer has to be taken care of by the different numbering of Psalms, and that has to be taken with the Authorized Version. In the author's point of view, the indexer has to know about the accepted abbreviations of the books of t...
