Responsibility - Himanshi Rajpurohit

COVID-19 spreads primarily from person to person.  

Stay Home, Stay Safe
We all know that nowadays what is going on around us. It is such a difficult time for all of us, but soon we hope to be relieved from this situation. For this we have to be first be very responsible about maintaining proper distance among people; wearing a mask; sanitising hands every  10 - 15 minutes and after touching anything outside the house. However, being responsible doesn't mean that if you are wearing a mask and then you change and throw off the previous mask here and there. This is big irresponsible because in being safe you are harming our nature by throwing such things anywhere.

COVID-19 spreads primarily from person to person. Fighting this disease is our joint responsibility. Protect yourself and others by making some simple precautions in our daily life like while coughing or sneezing we should cover our mouth with our elbow. We should also avoid touching our mouth, eyes, and nose when we are outside. 

Most importantly we should clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. Let us become responsible and fight together against the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Respect - Tamanna Solanki

Tamanna Solanki
Respect is the most recurring human value among all other human values. It is of two types: self-respect (self-esteem) and respect for others. I think we all learn it by experience. It can't be inherent, but it is learned very early in life through various experiences. It is as simple as acknowledging the presence of the other being. Mere recognizing and accepting the point of view of the other person and giving him or her due consideration is showing respect. We can be respectful of anyone's deeds, opinions, rights, dignity, decisions, likes or dislikes, etc.

Before learning how to respect others, I, rather, naturally go through a journey to recognize how it feels to be respected. I simply feel respected when my parents listen to me, when they ask my opinion on trivial family matters, when my mentors acknowledge my curiosity, doubts and responses. I feel respected when my friends consider my opinion and collaborate and cooperate with me now and then. And all these things taught me to be respectful to others irrespective of their age. This develops self-esteem, which also gives us confidence and courage and a very positive feeling. 

Most of the time, when we respect others, we are likely to get it back. But, I feel we can never be certain that giving respect ensures getting respect. As the saying goes, "Respect is not demanded; it is commanded". So, for commanding respect, we need to become worthy of others' respect. Since we are living in a society, respect for others is a must value to inculcate. And this can be done only when we respect ourselves first.

In the end, I would like to say that respect is a vital human value that is necessary for adapting to social behaviour and, therefore human survival.

Honesty and Respect - Tanishi Chitara

Tanishi Chitara 
Honesty and Respect are essential hallmarks of healthy relationships. In healthy relationships, people talk honestly, listen well, trust and respect each additional. Honesty is a vital character trait that every individual should possess. The possession of this trait is very beneficial for a person’s whole life. 

Honesty is the courage to speak the truth and reject disloyalty. At the same time, respect is a way of treating or thinking about someone. People respect others who are impressive for any reason, such as being in authority – like a teacher or cop or grandparents. We show respect by being polite and kind.

We are taught early that honesty is a great virtue; one must give respect to earn respect, and learning compassion requires standing in someone else’s shoes. All of these are pretty ideas. After all, people don’t want to be lied to; they want to be respected for who they are. I think it’s best summed up by the adage, “Treat others the way you wish to be treated.”

Honesty and Respect - Divyanshi Upadhyay

Honesty and Respect are existing in India till ancient times. Honest people are being respected by the public in the past. People were not only honest to each other, but they also respected each other and their ideas. Some examples of honesty are Raja Harishchandra and Yudhishthira (Also called Dharamraja ). Respect matters a lot to the ancient people. They respected their elders as well as youngsters. 

With time, the meaning of honesty and respect has been changed very much. Today honesty has the same value for some people. In today's world, where crime is prevailing everywhere globally, some people have respect for honesty. Honesty pays, but one should have patience. Respect is like a give and takes matter. If you give someone respect, you will get the same respect in return.

विज्ञापनों की दुनिया - कनक गहलोत

कनक गहलोत
विज्ञापनों का कार्य है लोगों तक अपने उत्पाद की सूचना देना या उससे संबंधित जानकारी देना। सूचनाओं और जानकारियों के आधार पर ग्राहक अपने लिए उस वस्तु का चुनाव कर सकते हैं। उत्पाद से संबंधित यह जानकारी या सूचना विश्वसनीय होनी चाहिए। गलत जानकारी लोगों में भ्रम पैदा कर सकती हैं या एक तरह से ऐसा करना ग्राहकों के साथ धोखाधड़ी भी है। परंतु यह दुर्भाग्य ही है कि वर्तमान समय में विज्ञापन केवल लाभ कमाने और अपने उत्पाद की अधिक से अधिक बिक्री करने तक ही सिमट कर रह गया है।

विज्ञापन का वास्तविक अर्थ ही लुप्त हो गया है। अधिक से अधिक ऐसे खर्च करके लुभावने विज्ञापन तैयार किए जाते हैं जिससे कि ग्राहकों को आकर्षित किया जा सके।बड़े बड़े अभिनेता या खिलाड़ियों द्वारा विज्ञापन करवाया जाता है। यह खिलाड़ी और अभिनेता बड़े रोचक ढंग से अपनी प्रस्तुति देते हैं ,अपने अभिनय और हाव-भाव से ग्राहकों को सम्मोहित करते हैं। फिर अगर कोई वस्तु उपयोगी ना हो तो भी उपयोगी लगने लगती है। आवश्यकता ना हो तब भी वह वस्तु खरीदी जाती है।

विज्ञापन महत्वपूर्ण है उत्पादक और उपभोक्ता दोनों के लिए। उत्पादक अपने उत्पाद की जानकारी प्रस्तुत करता है और उपभोक्ता उस जानकारी के आधार पर अपनी आवश्यकता पूर्ति करता है। आजकल प्रस्तुत किए जाने वाले विज्ञापनों में वास्तविक जानकारी नदारद रहती है। ऐसी परिस्थिति में उपभोक्ता को सतर्क रहने की आवश्यकता है। केवल लुभावने और आकर्षक विज्ञापन वस्तु खरीदने का आधार नहीं होना चाहिए। विज्ञापन में वस्तुओं के गुणों को बढ़ा चढ़ाकर दर्शाया जाता है तथा उसके मूल्य में भी वृद्धि कर दी जाती है। सावधान रहकर की हम विज्ञापनों के माया जाल से बच सकते हैं।

Honesty and Self Respect - Disha Mewara

My grandparents
Honesty is always admirable in the family, civil society, friends and across the globe. A person with honesty is respected by all. Building the character of honesty entirely depends on his/her family values and ethics and his/her surrounding environment. Parents showing honest behaviour and character in front of their children create an impact on the children, and we say honesty lies in their genes. Honesty can also be developed practically, which requires proper guidance, encouragement, patience and dedication.

Self-respect refers to loving oneself and behaving with honour. An individual who has self-respect would treat himself with honour furthermore lacking self-respect. It is a matter of disgrace for an individual who does not respect himself; he should certainly not expect respect from others; nobody likes to treat such an individual with respect. Self-respect improves the morality of the individual who has good ethical nature. Hence, self-respect makes you a better person.

I have sweet and loving grandparents. My grandmother's name is Mrs Asha Mewara. She is 70 years old. She is very caring. Her hair has turned grey. Everyday she worships Mother Durga very sincerely. She gives me 'prasad'. She knows many fairy tales and stories of 'Ramayana' and ‘Mahabharata’. My grandfather is also sweet. His name is Mr.Om Prakash Mewara. He is 75 years old. He goes out for a walk every morning. He loves to watch news channels on TV. He is very wise. He teaches me many things. My grandparents are my guide, my teacher and my friends. I learn many things while enjoying their company. They love me deeply...I also love and respect my grandparents a lot. We play together in the evening. I am thankful to God for blessing me with such wonderful grandparents.

Self Respect - Jiya Vaishnav

Self-Respect refers to loving oneself and behaving with honour and dignity. It reflects respect for oneself. An individual who has self-respect would treat himself with honour. Furthermore, lacking self-respect is a matter of disgrace. An individual who does not respect himself should certainly not expect respect from others. The person who values his self-respect will respect others. He would never want to hurt anybody with his words or actions. We should treat others the way we want to be treated. 

Self-respect develops inner strength and courage to speak for yourself. It also makes us realize how important it is to treat others with respect. It helps us to become more thoughtful in our behaviour.
