Was a little sick today but didn't want to miss the first day. Started with Indus Valley Civilization, Ancient History, read a little newspaper and realized I need to develop a habit of revising things.

धर्म और राज्य क्या है ? अवधारणा और विशेषताएं ( What is the Religion and State

परिचय -

धर्म विश्व के अधिकांश देशों की राजव्यवस्थाओं के समक्ष एक जटिल प्रश्न की तरह उपस्थित रहा है । 

कुछ देशों की राजव्यवस्थाएँ धर्म के अधीन चलती रही हैं तो कुछ देशों में शासन ने धर्म का प्रचंड विरोध किया है । 

जहाँ तक भारत का प्रश्न है , यहाँ का समाज प्राचीनकाल से ही धर्म के प्रश्न पर प्रायः विनम्र और लचीला रहा है । इसका सबसे स्पष्ट प्रमाण यही है कि नए - नए धर्मों का जितना विकास भारत में हुआ , उतना कहीं और नहीं ।

 सनातन हिंदू परंपरा के भीतर से यहाँ बौद्ध , सिख और जैन धर्म निकले ।

 कुछ अत्यंत विरल अपवादों को छोड़ दें तो नए - नए धर्मों की स्थापना से भारतीय समाज में विशेष तनाव नहीं देखे गए । 

धार्मिक सहिष्णुता और सर्वधर्मसदभाव ( Religious harmony ) भारतीय परंपरा की सामान्य विशेषताएँ हैं । 

यूरोप की स्थिति इससे अलग थी । वहाँ धर्म के सांगठनिक रूप अर्थात् चर्च का केन्द्रीय महत्त्व था ।

 चर्च ने लगभग एक हज़ार साल तक अपना वर्चस्व इस तरह बनाए रखा कि वहाँ न समाज का विकास हुआ , न राजनीति , अर्थव्यवस्था , दर्शन या कला का ।

 व्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता का इतना अधिक दमन किया गया कि व्यक्ति चर्च से परेशान हो उठा ।

 चौदहवीं शताब्दी में हुआ पुनर्जागरण ( Renaissance ) , जो आगे चलकर धर्मसुधार आंदोलन ( Reformation ) में रूपांतरित हुआ , अपनी मूल प्रकृति में धर्म के इसी वर्चस्ववादी रूप के प्रति प्रतिक्रियावश पैदा हुआ था ।

  इन सब स्थितियों में 1851 ई . में जॉर्ज जैकब होलिओक नामक विचारक ने धर्मनिरपेक्षता अर्थात् ' सेकुलरिज्म ' के विचार की औपचारिक स्थापना की ।

So, I was talking to this real close friend of mine. She and I are in different cities and we both are the type of friends who can go on not talking for months and then text each other one fine day and sit and ramble for hours, also the type who video call each other and then study together (online). Also, she is a maths student whereas I am a biology student.

So, the other day we were talking and this happened (she's 'M' and I'm 'A'):

M:Yaar bohot baal tut rhe hain. A:Haina! Mere bhi. M:Ye sab stress ke wajah se ho rha hai. A:I know right. M:JEE, NEET clear ho na ho... A:... baal zarur clear ho jaenge stress se hairfall ho ke.

And Ik all my dear JEE/ NEET/ CLAT/ UPSC and all exams ke aspirants, ik u can very well relate to our situation, even the one's who are currently having boards or are gonna have them soon.

Take some stress, but not too much, and don't worry about your hair right now. You'll get a lot of time for self-care. Just focus on giving your best, at the end, you should not have any regrets atleast.

Polar Vortex: Understand the Meaning

A huge area of low pressure and frigid air surrounds both of the Earth’s poles, forming the circumpolar. It is ALWAYS present at the poles, but becomes weaker in the summer and stronger in the winter. The name “vortex” refers to the counter-clockwise airflow that helps keep colder air away from the poles.

The circumpolar expands frequently in the northern hemisphere throughout the winter, pushing frigid air southward with the jet stream. This happens frequently during the winter and is frequently linked to significant breakouts of Arctic air in the United States.
