Fake News and Authenticity in the Day and Age of Social Media Fortunately or unfortunately, social media has become a huge part of our lives. We all have our unique ways and reasons for using and consuming it. Some use it for promotion of their products. Some use it for promotion of themselves. Others use it to document their lives and share some memories. It's become a platform for sharing information, opinion and much more. All that is good but there is also a flip side to this tool. Social media has also become a hub for fake news. Unfounded rumours and false news spark silly and unnecessary debates between people and end up dividing the society. Fake news however isn't the only problem. The authenticity of content on platforms like Youtube or Twitter cannot be validated and lack proof and evidence. Another example could be that when a person posts a picture about his trip to the beach, he/she might just be standing in front of a poster of a beach. This is not just dishone...

Similarly, for the cleaning of our rivers we have projects like Namami Gange for water pollution. A large amount of attention and funding is provided by the government for these kinds of pollution. Air and water pollution are very clear and present dangers to our society and the ne...
Loneliness can be more than a problem. It can become a disease that actually takes a toll on our mental and physical health. And this is true for all ages and across humanity. Books are the answer to both these problems. They can be great friends and companions and keep you engaged and well informed. You can travel through the streets of Italy or explore the Milky Way or even travel through time. If this isn’t fascinating enough, books can provide you with the gift of knowledge. The point is, books are a wonderful tool to be happy, to learn something new, to make a new friend or two and to become more creative. A book never lets you be lonely - even if you are alone. The internet can give information and provide temporary engagement but true wisdom can be acquired only by reading good books. Sometimes I wonder why most successful people are happy being alone and eventually turn out to be voracious readers. Look at Bill Gates - he actually takes two weeks off every year to be alone...
