2minutes on CHILDREN: THE ASSETS OF A NATION

The wealth of a nation is not so much in its economical and natural resources, but in the quality of the children. Children are like clay, who can be molded into the most desirable way as they are the sure rein holders of tomorrow. They have boundless stores of energy, willpower, capability, zeal and enthusiasm. The nation develops faster if its children develop better. India has the largest child and youth population in the world. It is therefore, the responsibility of the society to engage youth into playing a constructive role and educate them morally, culturally and academically.
But nowadays, the mindset of people has taken a negative shift. Children are not viewed as nation builders but as sources with financial returns. In most cases, both the parents these days are working, which in turn, makes family time reduced to nothing and the child becomes morally weak and prone to depressions.
It is therefore very necessary to develop a child according to his tastes. Greta Thunberg is a common example on how, when children are set free to pursue the ideas in their minds, they have the strength to bring about a change in the world. 

"Just like a rose plant has to be trimmed for the best blossoms, a child needs to be pruned to its baser instincts in order to be beneficial and become an asset for the nation and its future."

2minutes speech on TEACHER'S DAY 2020

 The mere fact that we are all connected  in this event makes me feel so elated and motivated to express my thoughts on this unconventional  yet eventful day today. Good Morning and a very happy Teacher's Day to all.                           A teacher is someone who teaches, and mind you, it is not just academics. Not everyone can be a teacher, because despite everything what a teacher teaches first is the way of life.               Though teachers day is globally celebrated on 5th October, in India we celebrate it on 5th of September, to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr. S Radhakrishnan , the second president of Republic of india and a profound teacher himself. He believed that "children are the future of the nation and it is only in the teachers hands that could shape it". ...

2minutes on AI: SHOULD IT BE DEVELOPED??

Francis Baker once said, that "Knowledge Is Power" . That was about 400 years ago. But is knowledge still power? I say yes. And through sharing of such knowledge we have become so powerful and developed powerful machines. One of the recent breakthroughs is AI. It is a program that learns by different means, remembers it, and uses it the next time at performs a task; much like experience of humans. Development of AI is very necessary for human kind. If we are to further develop or at least maintain the current standard of living, we need development of artificial intelligence . Simply think of a software which does not need to be updated, it runs by itself and with time, works better. Now many people disregard the development of artificial intelligence, posing it as an eventual threat to humankind and its existence.  The statement is simply foundation less. AI does not hinder human's cognitive abilities, instead it invites more and more people for competitive abilities. ...
