Hello everyone!!! Once upon a time, there was a bunch of four friends , Raju, Kaju, Maju and Waju. They were in the 1st year of their college life. All of them were friends since class 10th and were really happy to get the same college. They all did a lot of parties, studies and enjoyed their lives thoroughly. They all were quite close to each other and each others families as well.                                       One fine day, they were in the college canteen to celebrate Raju's birthday, suddenly his phone rang. He went away from the crowd and took the call. It was the call of his mom. All the friends were waiting for him eagerly but then they saw something that made them tensed. They saw that Raju's phone was on the ground and he was crying badly! All three of them ran in his direction to investigate into the matter.                 ...

Hello everyone!!! Institutionalization  refers to the process of embedding some conception (for example a belief, norm, social role, particular value or mode of behaviour) within an organization, social system, or society as a whole.                                      This was a much scientific and  theoretical definition indeed! So let me explain you the actual meaning of institutionalization through the means of a story. After all, forgetting a story is quite rare! So sit back, grab a cup of coffee or tea and listen...                      Long time back there was a village where everyone lived happily and were just like family members. Their basic occupation was farming.                              Then came a middle aged m...

Hello everyone!!! Today I am going to address a question of utmost importance. The question is "Is there a difference between a Clinical Psychologist, Counsellor and Psychiatrist?"                               Psychology being an emerging field has aroused many questions and doubts amongst the local people. Many of us still do not have a complete idea of what psychologist do or what is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist. Half of the population (of India) believes that psychologists are someone who deal with people whom they define as " pagal " or "stupid". I am really sad to use these words but most of us still use them to define those who need serious help and affection. I fail to understand the mindset of those people who devise and use such terms with such frankness and openness. Instead of providing help and support to them, we often tend to ignore them or stay away from them. ...

Hello everyone!!! Today I am going to talk about a very interesting topic! I am sure that most of you must have not thought about Khichdi in the manner that you would be thinking today... The concept that I am going to apply in today's blog is called "SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION". Before bombarding you with the insights of Khichdi , let me brief you about what sociological imagination exactly is... The term " sociological imagination " was coined by the American sociologist C. Wright Mills  in 1959. He wished  to describe the type of insight offered by the discipline of Sociology. C. Wright Mills The  sociological imagination  is the ability to see things socially and how they interact and influence each other.  To cut it short, sociological imagination basically refers to the way of thinking in which we relate a given topic with the aspects of our culture or society. We choose a topic which appears to be quite common and gene...

Hello everyone!!!  In today's blog we are going to discuss about the most thrilling topic of all. That is " Why do we Dream? "  First thing first, dreaming can be of two types: Day-Dreaming and Night-Dreaming. So let me explain you the difference between the two with the help of a few examples... Imagine that you along with your family members are watching a news channel on the television. Suddenly your mother snaps you by saying "Hey where are you lost? I am talking to you". At this moment you realize that you were actually dreaming of a brand new bicycle that you want and in your dream you were riding it and enjoying the ride.  This is an instance of Day-Dreaming! A man daydreaming... I am sure that all of you must have gone through the phase when you wake up in the morning and smile to yourself thinking that it was just a "dream"! Some of us also wake up at the middle of the night, say around 2 a.m. or  3 a.m. and a...

I, Sakshi Kaushik, along with my batch mates of Manav Rachna Institute of Research and Studies visited a school in Panhera Khurd Village that's in the Balabgarh town in Faridabad district of Haryana. We interacted with the kids of that school and here I am going to share my experiences of that visit Government School in Panhera Khurd Village   The school was co-ed and had classes up to 12th. There was a computer lab as well as plenty of classrooms. I along with some of my batch mates were given a chance to interact with the children of 6 th standard. The children were quite bright and were having the basic general awareness about the world and their school. A lovely bunch of students! Though they were bright and sharp but I felt that they somehow lacked the ability to communicate in the universally accepted language, English. It's not that they could not speak it at all, but they were not comfortable speaking that language. I feel that it's quite necessary...

I, Sakshi Kaushik, visited an old age home i.e., Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram , via the support of Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies. The visit was scheduled on 29 th July 2019. I and my classmates went in Aali Village, on Mathura road. The vridh ashram is a part of Sheows Foundation. GURU VISHRAM VRIDH ASHRAM The founder of this ashram is Dr. G.P. Bhagat . He is really very much devoted to his work and ashram. Also, he provides immense help and support to the old people who are now helpless. He leaves no coin unturned to provide emotional, social or monetary support to the old people in his ashram. My visit was full of learning new things, knowing new people and understanding their everyday routine and lifestyle at this ashram. As we first entered the ashram, we saw an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) in which about 7-8 old people were kept under observation. A separate and much larger ICU was there at the second floor. Approximately 9-10 nurses ...
