HURT PEOPLE HURT

 The other day i went to visit my cousin at her matrimonial home and something caught my attention. There was this woman from the neighbouring house who kept on shouting to her two children calling them all manners of words. It resulted to a deep concentration on what could be wrong with the children and  this led to scrutinising of the mind back to my upbringing period. There used to be a lot of authoritative parenting,high expectations ,whooping was non stop and one way communication. Though it never occurred to me personally, trust me 90 % of today's parents are witnesses of what happened during their growing period. This state was a norm that parents passed across their children who later did  the same to their siblings and the cycle continued and still does to those who have refused to change their style of bringing up their kids simply because it is a tradition and culture from their whereabouts. Parents  were so strict on their children basing the following ma...

LEFT HANDEDNESS IS NOT A DISABILITY

 Did you know that handedness starts in the  womb? Fetuses starts to move their arms around 9-10 weeks .By early in the second trimester, the babies show a clear preference for sucking one thumb over the other .So handedness is probably hardwired before birth. Still most development experts say parents likely won't get a good sense of their child's dominant hand until age 2 or 3 . Many kids continue to switch hands for different tasks during early childhood. So let us pay attention on left handers today:  Research suggests that the left handed people make roughly 12% of population in the the continent .There is a special day for the left handed people globally on 13th August  every year and this is a day when people are made aware of the challenges that left handers goes through when trying to stand in a world that do not mostly accommodate them. Well,there is something that caught my attention when doing some facts about left handed people,when such a person  i...

Toxic Relationships Among Campus Students

 "Agnes " used to come to my room in the hostel all drained after every meet up with the boyfriend .I was concerned after observing this behaviour for quite some time but she always said she was OK,just tired from hikes and the talk with "Gabriel". We were close friend with Agnes and shared even our secrets but this did not go for long,she started to spend less time with me and the other two friends of ours. We used to have a group discussion thrice a week and then sometimes attended the choir all together hosted in C.U department but she started to skip them. The relation among us started to decrease at a level that most of us did not realise until Agnes' performance brought my attention and insisted to know what could be the problem with her since she came from a well established family and never struggled in campus as most of us did,that made her divert from us completely, she stopped receiving our calls,attended less lectures and disassociated from everyone ...

PHOTOJOURNALISM

 ...Did you know that if it makes you laugh,if it makes you cry ,if it rips out your heart ,that's a good picture? Well,almost everyone in the continent is in a position of pausing for a picture or even videos  but if you may ask them who invented the act of taking photographs he/she can not explain. After all,this is a new era ,new generation.  First of all,photography is the act of taking pictures while photojournalism is journalism that uses images to tell a News Story. The first photograph to be used in illustration of a newspaper story was  a depiction of barricades in Paris during the June days uprising on 25th July 1848 by Fenton. Photos were used to enhance the text rather than the act as a medium of information in its own right. As we take pictures and post them on our platforms ,we should be aware that pictures tells us more about you,your surrounding, feelings,situations etc . Yah,pictures tells a story. A Pictures makes history. Although, simple as it may...
