Reason For TikTok Ban
We are living in an information society where diffused information plays a significant role in shaping the political, economic, social and a host of other issues that have direct bearing on the life of citizens and nation as a whole. The ceaseless flow of information has enabled the people to pass their own judgment on the burning public issues.

US, China Test Cold Waters
Superpowers engage in testing the pulse of each other. Sino-American relationship is not exactly on an even keel, though the cool vibes began surfacing in the 2010s. Big powers cannot afford to ignore one other; some kind of communication becomes essential. This is what the meeting last week between the US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference in San Francisco reiterated. The first move for the top-level meeting apparently came from Washington. Beijing would not risk taking an initiative first for fear of giving the rival superpower the satisfaction of rejecting it with “we will see what can be done with it”, only to leak the same to a select press quoting the deep background “sources in high places”. The encounter was attributed to keeping the bilateral lines of communication open. Given their rivalries over policies and push for expanding trade and global i
Work On Reconstruction Roadmap
Though the three-tier governments have been making every effort possible for the distribution of relief to the survivors of the 6.4-magnitude Jajarkot earthquake, many are still waiting for relief materials. With the chilly winter about to set in, they are in urgent need of tents, tarpaulins, blankets, warm cloths, and foodstuff. The devastating quake that occurred on the night of November 3, with its epicentre at Ramidanda of Barekot Rural Municipality in Jajarkot district, has left more than 150 people dead and 200 others injured in Jajarkot and neighbouring Rukum West. The disaster has rendered thousands of people homeless with the destruction of their houses.
Attitude Of Gratitude
The concept of gratitude has value beyond one day or one month during the year. Gratitude also means embracing the idea of giving thanks even when it’s hard. Each year, as Thanksgiving approaches, we hear a lot about gratitude – expressing thankfulness for the food we will eat, our loved ones, and our health. Our holiday rituals may have become routine and may even seem rote or superficial — especially against a backdrop of wars and distress in some parts of the world. The real history of Thanksgiving may also affect how we feel about this tradition. The holiday gives us the opportunity to think about gratitude as a mindset and a practice — a form of self-care. When we are genuinely grateful, we are recognising and acknowledging what we have instead of what we lack and demonstrating appreciation for all the good in our lives. Think of gratitude as a wellness practice that builds our resilience. Gratitude can make us feel more positive emotions, help us cope with adversity, and even improve our health and relationships. In one study, people who wrote a few sentences each week about things they were grateful for were more optimistic and had fewer doctor visits after 10 weeks than those who wrote about daily irritatio
