aranasi is one of the most vibrant and inter-
esting places to visit in India. From women
dressed in bright saris around the Ganges for
a sunrise bathing, to the cultural traditions passed
on for centuries.
Varanasi is a holy city in Northern India, also
known as Benares or Kashi. The city, mostly inhab-
ited by the Hindus, has also played a significant
role in the development of Buddhism. Buddha is
said to have founded Buddhism in Varanasi around
528 BC when he gave his first sermon
at Sarnath, a nearby city. The city was
under Muslim rule for three centuries
from 1194, until a tolerant emperor
restored some religious respite to
Varanasi.
For centuries, education, philosophy,
culture, arts and religion have flourished in
Varanasi to keep the city vibrant in so many ways.
Each evening, groups of priests line up the
Dashashwamedh Ghat even as hundreds of people
flock to witness the nightly aarti ceremony lasting
about 20-30 minutes. The priests perform rituals
like blowing of horns, spreading of flower petals,
and burning of incense, besides smoking of pots.
The aarti takes place facing the river where the
lamps are lit and circled around by the priests, to
the chanting of songs in praise of Mother Ganga.

ountries should give asylum to
runaway presidents.The right of
asylum is an ancient juridical con-
cept, under which people persecuted
by their own rulers might be protected
by another sovereign authority, like a
second country or another entity which
in medieval times could offer
sanctuary. This
right was recog-
nized by the Ancient Egyptians,
the Greeks, and the Hebrews, from
whom it was adopted into Western tradi-
tion. René Descartes fled to the
Netherlands, Voltaire to England, and
Thomas Hobbes to
France, because each
state offered protection
to persecuted foreigners.

Should countries
GIVE ASYLUM to runaway presidents
W
hy do we vote? Why do we elect representatives? Why does a country
require a president? When a president is appointed, apart from the
responsibilities, a certain level of trust from the citizens of his country
is also bestowed upon him. When a president takes his oath, it becomes his
solemn duty to protect the country and execute his position faithfully.
He has to strive for the welfare of the people. But unfortunately,
there are some whose promises turn out to be empty and grad-
ually, their commitment only lasts towards reaping benefits for
them. This they do, forgetting that they were
made president for the advancement of the
country. And soon this carelessness results in restless, despondent people who find
no choice but to resort to rallies, street marches and mob violence. Instead of facing
the consequences of their callous behaviour, they, without proper acknowledgement,
find it difficult to remain in power any longer, and then run away from the mess they
create. It is only appropriate that such individuals mustn’t be condoned for their
unrighteous actions and maladministration. They should atone for their sins and mis-
conduct. In conclusion, runaway presidents should not be allowed
to seek asylum. Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he
believes is right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge
instantly and without reservation that he is in error.

enior secondary is a new and de-
manding phase in schooling as
the students have their plates full
with academics, extracurricular ac-
tivities, assignments and assessments.
The students may feel they do not have
enough time to accomplish things and
meet the deadlines.
They are stressed about the peri-
odic assessments and lose track of as-
signments. In view of the above, the
Career Guidance Cell at Yuvabharathi
Public School organised an exclusive
seminar on ‘Time Management Skills’
on the 4th of July 2022 for the Senior
Secondary students.
The event was presided over by
MinuPramod, Commissioner of GST,
Central Excise, and Audit, Coimbatore
(1997 batch of Indian Civil Services),
who was also the resource person.
While addressing the students, she
touched upon key points like how to
manage and reduce stress, increase pro-
ductivity, improve self-esteem, priori-
tise tasks and set goals.
Simply put, the students were
guided to set goals, schedule, priori-
tise and organise. The anecdotes she
shared were relatable and well re-
ceived by the audience. This interac-
tive seminar ended with a Q &A ses-
sion. The students found this pro-
gramme quite engaging and learnt
how to effectively manage time to
reach their goals.

onfidence means feel-
ing sure of yourself
and your abilities. It
is often considered a soft
skill. At the present stage,
each and every one of us
must possess this soft skill
to develop in life forever.
Experience shows that
confidence can and should
be learned and practised.
Right from doing small
work, do it with full confi-
dence. You should not have
a second thoughts about it. It comes not
from always being right but from
not fearing to be wrong. Don’t
get fear of the work that you do.
Avoid fear automatically you will
gain confidence.
Whatever you do any work,
do it with full confidence. Have
faith and belief in it, and then
surely you will get success in it.
Confidence comes natural-
ly with success. But, Suc-
cess comes only to those
who are confident.
Kindness in words cre-
ates confidence. Confidence
is like a muscle, the more
you use it, the stronger it
gets. With confidence, you
have won before you have
started. It comes from dis-
cipline and training. It is
the ability to feel beautiful
without needing someone
to tell you. Confidence is built on ac-
complishment. Monitor Your
Progress. The best way to reach
your goals, big or small, is to break
them into smaller goals and mon-
itor your progress.

he father and the founder of scouts is Lord Robert.
His full name was Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden
Powell. His father’s name was Professor H.G. Baden
Powell. He was a vicar and a professor of natural science.
His mother’s name was Henrietta. Lord Robert was written
a book name scouting for Boys.
In 1909 he started the boy Scout movement, by calling
up boys interested in Scouting to join him in Crystal Palace
to join him for the first-ever Boy Scout rally
. To their sur-
prise, however, 11,000 boys showed up in Crystal Palace. Thus
the Boy Scout movement officially started. He
has seen some girls wearing similar uniforms
as the boys. Robert wondered if girls were also
interested in scouting. So, he wrote a book suit-
able for girls and called them Guides to give
them distinction from the Scouts.

limate change is leaving
its stamp on every nook
and corner of the world.
The humans are responsible for
this climate emergency we find
ourselves in. The sixth mass ex-
tinctionisalreadyunderway
.Peo-
ple are facing multiple climate-
related impacts such as heat
waves, severe droughts, flooding,
and water scarcity rendering the
vulnerable population, especial-
ly the children, exposed to mal-
nutrition and diseases.
Children born today are sev-
en times more likely to face ex-
treme climatic conditions than
their grandparents. In order
to understand this,
this curriculum
leads students through a
progression of understanding.
It begins with students thinking
about climate and weather, and
the local impact of sea-level rise
due to climate change in the first
lesson.
This is to hook the students
to the unit, getting them to think
abouttheirownconnectiontocli-
mate change. In order to under-
stand how excess carbon dioxide
is rapidly changing the climate,
students first learn about the
Earth’s energy budget and then
focus on greenhouse gases.
A lesson provides an oppor-
tunity for students to step back
from the data and think about
the process of science and how
we use language. Climate
change requires global action
and local solutions. Moreover,
according to the United Nations
Population Fund (UNFPA), In-
dia will have the highest youth
population in the world
over the next decade.
They will be left to face
the devastating brunt
of climate change.
The only logical step mov-
ing forward from here on is to
convert their climate anxiety
into climate empowerment.
Therefore, it becomes impera-
tive that these youths be em-
powered with relevant and ac-
curate information on climate
change issues so that
they can brace and
equip themselves to
respond to the crisis.

lenn Phillips’ quick-fire 69 and four
wicketsfromLockieFergusoninspired
New Zealand’s 31-run win over Ireland
in their opening Twenty20 interna-
tional on Monday. Phillips was un-
beaten in his 52-ball innings as he
smashed seven boundaries in New
Zealand’s total of 173 for eight. Jim-
my Neesham kept the runs flowing for
New Zealand with a rapid 29 which included a towering six
into the sightscreen. Ferguson turned the screw on Ireland
in their chase with impressive figures of 4-14 as the hosts
were bowled out for 142 in 18.2 overs. Ireland, who just missed
out on a first ever victory over New Zealand when they lost
the final ODI by one run last week, elected to field first in
Dublin.
BAD START FOR NZ
It had looked a solid call when New Zealand opener Finn
Allen fell for one in the third over off Joshua Little, who fin-
ished with four wickets. Martin Guptill (24) soon followed af-
ter he holed out at long off and Dane Cleaver (five) lasted only
seven deliveries on his debut, nicking a length ball from Lit-
tle behind. Daryl Mitchell was also dismissed for five off Cur-
tis Campher to leave the tourists struggling at 54 for four in
the ninth over.
NO PRODUCTIVE
PARTNERSHIP FOR HOSTS
Ireland could never get a productive part-
nership, though several batters made
promising starts. Ireland had a
dream start, with opener Finn
Allen hitting Josh Little
straighttocover,andthendis-
missing the in-form Guptill
-- who scored a century on
the final ODI -- who holed
out to long-off off Mark
Adair.PhillipsnippedIre-
land’s threat in the bud
with his flamboyant
stroke-play and New
Zealand got an early
breakthrough in the field
when Mitchell Santner
claimed a fine catch to dis-
miss Andy Balbirnie for 12.
Black Caps skipper Santner
took two wickets with the ball to
reduce Ireland to 69 for five in the
10th over. Campher (29) and Mark Adair (25) gave Ireland
faint hope, but Ferguson ensured the chase proved too much
for the hosts.
New Zealand have two more T20Is against Ireland before
heading into an extended short-format campaign against
Scotland, the West Indies and Australia as they prepare for
October’s T20 World Cup.
BLACK CAPS TO MAKE IMPACT
IN T20 WORLD CUP
“(We’re) in a great position (to make an impact in the T20
World Cup),” Ferguson said. “We did well last year (in the
UAE), didn’t we, so I think we’re in a good (position). I think
certainly it’s going to be different playing in Australia, ob-
viously there’s going to be some teams that are pretty strong
there. I think with the next few months we’ve still (got) a lot
of cricket to be played so we’ll start to nail down what our
World Cup squad will be. When you get young guys and debu-
tants putting their hand up, it probably makes decisions tough
for selectors but I think New Zealand cricket is in a really
good spot at the moment,” added Ferguson. AGENCIES
BEAUMONT GUIDES ENGLAND TO
VICTORY AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA
Tammy Beaumont’s ninth ODI century guided
England to victory by 109 runs and a 3-0
series sweep over South Africa here in
Leicester. Put in to bat first, Beaumont
put on 149 for the opening wicket
alongside fellow opener Emma Lamb
(65) and then also continued the
trashing when Sophia Dunkley (51)
joined her at the crease in humid
conditions. The 31-year-old eventu-
ally got out for an excellent 119 runs
from just 107 deliveries, leading the
way for the hosts to post a whopping
371/7 from their allotted 50 overs.
