93. Social Distancing- Let’s be united in spirit

The world is facing an extraordinary crisis right now with the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) affecting the people worldwide. As a result, thousands of people have lost their life with the number increasing day by day. The fear and panic in the public has heightened with the situation worsening with time. While the disease has no antidote as of now, we need an instant antidote for the stress in the public. The solution can come in the form of unity and emotional support.


A 21 day lockdown has been announced in India till 14th April, 2020 to fight COVID-19. Social distancing is said to be the best way to prevent the virus transmission and increase in new COVID-19 positive cases.

In this constantly engaging and interactive era, social distancing sounds like a foreign concept. Recall the last time you willingly stayed at your home for 21 days at a stretch. I am sure it would have happened a long time ago, if ever. The lockdown is a challenge for the public and together we have to come out stronger. We have to swear by the rules, if not for ourselves, than to protect our family and others from getting infected with this life threatening virus.

Social distancing is a very simple concept but, somehow has proved hard to follow. The situation requires everyone to be alert and conscious so that united we can save our country and its people. Understand the difference between social distancing and emotional distancing. The authorities are asking you to not engage with people physically, but you can always reach out to your loved ones emotionally with the help of technology. Be there for your friends and family emotionally while still protecting lives by maintaining physical distance.

Don’t risk your life and that of others around you by going out. Stay safe, stay at home and this shall pass soon.

73. Millennials Who? Stereotyping the Demographic cohort

Image
Millennials is a term commonly used to define a certain demographic of the population. Also known as Generation Y, millennials denote a set of people based on their demographic. The term has been derived from the demographic cohort of the population as a whole. Each and every category has been placed in buckets namely, Generation X (1965-1980), Generation Y or Millennials (1981-1996) and Generation Z (1997-Present). The age range of the Millenials has been reported differently at various platforms but The American Psychological Association described it as people born between 1981 to 1996 which is a widely accepted categorisation. Instead of representing the generation, the term has become a stereotype for people belonging to certain demographics representing their behaviours, habits, and beliefs. The term carries a negative connotation now because of its overuse and references. Millennials are also referred to as ‘echo boomers.’ In an article published in 2013, Times Mag

Fashion is a major part of the lifestyle we lead and being fashionable is the choice we make. Every buying decision, every piece of clothing in our wardrobe is a choice but, who is to say that we have made the right decision? There is so much going on in the fashion industry that many of us are not aware of. Fast Fashion is one of those things. Rapidly-changing fashion trends and the consumer’s desire of having each and every popular style has given birth to the concept of fast fashion. We as consumers have become so fashion-conscious that we put too much thought and money into what we wear, which is not wrong, but considering its impact on the environment, maybe it is! Fast fashion is basically fashion which changes with the rapidly-changing trends and focuses on speed and low cost. These type of clothing don’t have much wardrobe life. They are mainly focused on making the fashion available from ramp to the market at a much cheaper rate. The vibrant colours, designs and novel
