As the year draws to a close with the start of December, it’s time to reflect over the year gone by.

If you ask me, I can only talk about the first three months as the year 2020. Everything came to a STANDSTILL on 22 March and after that I really can’t say that the time was passing! After that it was nothing but LOCKDOWN, DISTANCE, MASK,………….a big suspension of activities that we normally indulge in; the weddings, the birthday parties, the anniversary celebrations, the for-no-reason parties and of course the race for the interviews, selections, competitions.

However this pandemic calamity has made all a little more tolerant. We have stopped getting into each others’ hair! Father has more time; is at home more often than he ever was! We also get a feel of the difficulties that we all have as a family and have to cut down on expenses, be less demanding, take NO as a NO when mother says so! After all the family has to stand together! The positive and homely environment has brought a good change in human behavior. People were relaxing, spending more time on their hobbies and interests, and were having fun at home. The bonds grew thicker.

People had more of me-time, enjoyed a cup of tea sitting in the balcony, listening to the birds chirping, and breathe fresh air. The desperate rush to reach destinations has stopped.

Nature is at its best. One can hear the chirping of birds. Suddenly all species have come alive and the varieties of flora and fauna is visible to all. The air is clear, pollution has reduced. The animal world has begun to wonder where the homo sapiens have fled to! At last the animals are where they are meant to be; out in the open, free to wander.

The way we are operating is very different from what has been happening for years. Suddenly from teachers to students, from grand-moms to grandsons everyone is tech savvy! Teachers teaching online, sending work on line, have mastered the art. Till now some of them could not even send a mail but lo behold now all of them are sending and DEMANDING work…! This has certainly enhanced skills. That’s why they are called eternal students.

There are always two sides to a coin, and this lockdown also has a negative impact on human behavior. But today I am only going to talk about the good side. Motivating ourselves is in our hands. Our culture and tradition teaches us to withstand adversities. Our texts- granths are replete with stories that encourage us to have faith, believe, hope. I think this is a good time to hit the pause button and remind ourselves that resilience and hope (even humour!) can be just as contagious. Write down what you can and cannot control, do not skip your medical appointments, order online- even medicines, limit exposure to media & indulge in meaningful activities, practise personal self-care& boost immunity, Social distancing does not mean social isolation so play virtual games on Facetime, Skype or watch that movie you missed on youtube. AND when in trouble ask for counseling.We can rise above the chaos.

I hope that the bad bit will be soon OVER with the end of this year. After all I am a very positive person BUDDY!!!

An increasingly sought after aptitude, computer programming skills have become the responsibility of the educator, and not only in higher education. Primary schools and nurseries are keys to influencing the next generation of professionals by igniting an early interest in the STEM fields. If a child can fantasies about one day walking on the moon, why shouldn’t their imagination be open to becoming a computer wizard?

What is coding

Put simply, Coding is the method of communicating with a computer. It is using a language that a computer understands to give computer instructions in order to perform specific functions. Coding allows us to create things such as computer software, websites, apps and video games.

There are various types of different code, depending on what you want to develop and different “programming languages” that each have their own set of rules. But basically, coding is giving instructions to a computer in order to produce a desired outcome.

Children need to be literate in technology throughout their education, developing ideas, learning new methods and putting them to the test. Even non-IT based jobs require a basic understanding of the digital landscape. There has been a shift in the past decade as to what a ‘digital job’ is, and relatively new professions, including SEO specialists and data analysts, now fall under this remit. It’s our role to prepare young people for the new economy, with a highly desirable skill set that stands the next generation in good stead.

How South Korea inspires me, I can give the answer in a single sentence-"

South Korea inspired me as a daughter inspired from the mother and son inspired from the father . Firstly I get inspired from the architecture ( gate style, Temples, Churches) , culture, religion and tradition of South Korea . In the field of culture and tradition I like the way in which they Pay tribute to the person or God .

Another inspiration is of the social life of the South Korea I think this is awesome for example in the South Korea if there is a paint work is ongoing in any society or building then the workers first cover all the vehicles or other important monuments of an area by the poly bags so they can't be damaged or Harm by the colours.

Another feature that inspired me alot are humanity and honesty. In South Korea If any person forgets the ATM,cash or any other document in any place then the other person does not steal them , they leave them and move on. Another example is that if one person is tired in the office or any place then the other person helps them by doing massage , doing their work.

The best thing that inspired me alot from South Korean is the security of the women and ladies . The most valuable and truthful example for the security of the women's and ladies is that, In South Korea the parking places are divided into two parts , For the ladies the parking slots are generally red or pink in colour while for the males they are yellow or any other colour.

The another most striking features of the South Korea that inspired me a lot where are as follow :-

1. Food - The thing that I loved in South Korea is their food serving style. According to me their plating skill should be given first in the world. For example suppose if we ordered the soup in the restaurant then they not only serve the soup alone but they also serve different types of additional flavors, sauces, spices etc with soup that's why their plating And serving style is excellent. Another thing that inspired me is that - suppose if we go to a restaurant then there is a facility in which both the customers and waiters can cook the food according to their need and taste.

2. Songs - The BTS group is the world famous group mainly for singing. Their songs are not only listened to in South Korea but also in each country, even I also listen to their songs.

3. Work - The other best thing that inspired me alot from South Korea is their working style. In their country the work is important, not if it is small or Big. All the people's and all the work's are considered equal.

So as a conclusion I can say that South Korea is the country from which I am inspired from all things whether it is related to food, clothes, security,
