by Satyasiddha Mishra There is a saying which says, “When going gets tough, the tough gets going.” And that, “After the darkest night comes the brightest morning.” If truth be told in plain terms, we are going through the toughest and darkest phase of our lives! These are trying times unlike anything India has faced since the struggle for Independence! Frankly speaking, India has handled this ongoing pandemic relatively well considering her mammoth population and ever dwindling economy! It’s no less a consolation that the so called rich and powerful countries have fared worse than us. Countries like the USA, Brazil and Mexico have higher number of deaths due to Corona than India! Coming to the future plans, our country India is all set to build a bright future. Even big financial institutions like World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) have predicted double digit GDP (Gross Domestic Product) for India for the year 2021-22! This is mainly due to a

by Satyasiddha Mishra The Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited(DFCCIL) is a Public Sector undertaking, run by the Ministry of Railways, Government of India. The purpose of the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) was to create a separate line for the running of the goods trains. These trains are said to be the ‘ Cash Cows ’ of the Indian Railways! But the irony is that these are the most ignored by the Railways, which is indeed an irony!  Whenever we travel by a train, we can observe that a goods train is on halt in every place possible, sometimes in the middle of nowhere! The reason being passenger trains are given priority as the general public is involved! It is said that with every 100 rupees Railways earns, they have to spend 115 rupees to maintain it! And even with that, most of the money has to be spent on passenger trains! Goods trains have a lower running cost but a higher return! But due to both goods and passenger trains running on the same line and passenger

                          by Snehil Mishra I strongly feel that we can't forget if we ever had a tasty treat! Let me share my fond memories that linger with me till date. A few years back, I was in grade 7 th and studying in Bhopal. At that time, I was a day scholar. There used to be a fruitful relationship between we the day scholars and their Lunchbox! My friends and I used to bring delicious food in our Lunchbox and we just shared our food with each other. But there was one guy whose Lunchbox used to get finished before the recess and you must be thinking, how? Because that guy always bringing the most delicious food, as his father was the owner of a 5-star restaurant, every day he used to get that super delicious food in his tiffin box. And the aromatic flavour of his food was infectious. T ough we batchmates were trying our best, but we unable to control our hunger! Due to that aroma, we used to eat the whole contents of his Lunchbox in the cla

by: Satyasiddha Mishra “Change is the only stagnant thing on this planet ”. This is very true in the current year 2020, where we are experiencing extreme changes in every aspect of life. There has been a huge change of perspective as to how we see the world. The once powerful have turned out to be weak and the so called weak are proving their mettle!  Coming to the topic of Tourism in India, few adventurous people have shown the world what a huge potential India possesses in the field of Tourism. Well, statistically speaking, Tourism is still a bigger industry than Information Technology (IT) with Tourism standing at 275.5 billion dollars, while IT is at 180 billion dollars! But IT has more foreign exchange than Tourism, as 79% of its revenue comes from export of its services.  Both are essential for a healthy economy of India but I believe that more importance should be given to Tourism. The reason is that it can
