Lickerish Lunchbox

                        

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 7th 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. Tough 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 class itself leaving nothing for him! He was bringing many delicious dishes like Chilli Paneer, Palak Paneer so on and so forth. And that happiness, no one can express in words. That one mischief we did in the school has become an unforgettable memory till today. So this was my story that how my friend’s “Lunchbox Was Always Meant For Us!”

Most of you during your school days as well might have enjoyed such fun out of luncheon.

VIDWAN SARVATRA PUJYATE

Image
Being an Ex-RKCian, I feel very nostalgic about my alma matter Rajkumar College, Raipur and its guiding principle. “ Swadeshe Pujyate Raja, Vidwan Sarvatra Pujyate ,”(the motto of Rajkumar College, Raipur ) is a noble saying taken from a book called “ SUBHASITANI ,” a collection of many Sanskrit Shlokas, consisting of many ancient Indian scriptures, written by our great sages thousands of years ago. The full maxim or Subhasit in Sanskrit reads, “ Swa Gruhe Pujyate Pita, Swa Grame Pujyate Prabhu, Swa Deshe Pujyate Raja, Vidwan  Sarvatra Pujyate. ” In simple English, it reads as “ A king is honoured in his own country; a learned man, throughout the world. ” Honouring the learned has been the hallmark of RKC and RKCians, be it in art, music or academics.  Well! This is the motto of Rajkumar College, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, one of the premier institutions of India. It was founded by Sir Andrew Fraser , the then Chief Commissioner of Central Province and Berar in the year 1

East or West, Grandparents are the Best

Grandmother and grandfather are words that are becoming scarce. It is not that they don’t exist but today’s children are denied an access to the store of wisdom that can come to them through these wise, old people. We can blame the breaking up of joint families for this but the fact remains that unitary families are losing wealth of knowledge. I consider myself fortunate to have the blood of the Aryans and the Dravidians. So I have got the best of both the races. If the Aryans have the Vedic tradition, the Dravidians have their ethnic identity, culture and tradition. Hence I would venture to narrate all that my grandmothers shared with me. Both my grannies from the paternal and maternal sides were staunch Hindus Brahmins, with orthodox religious base. My paternal grandma was an Oriya Brahmin and my maternal grandma was a Telugu Brahmin. My Dadi i.e. paternal Grand mom had great practical wisdom. It was said that once she rescued my Dad from sure death, from a deadly cobra bite by tying

Tourism the new IT hub for India

Image
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
