The demand for cheap flights is increasing day by day

The demand for cheap flights is increasing day by day

Today the common man is in the midst of a number of problems. It might range from the increase in the fuel price and food inflation to the decrease in the value of Rupee and new tax levying rules. The plane crash at Mangalore and the train accident at Bengal are all making the human mind, disturbed and man walks on his way to soar the mountain of peace, at least for a while. Though the ideologies of human beings have changed, as today they give a little importance to the saving mentality for future, they are still on the same path, looking for cheaper things, which at the same time keeps up the quality as well. With the number of opportunities available at present in the future also, man is not concerned about his progeny with utmost seriousness. Nowadays he is also finding time to relax and enjoy, which is a positive sign. Then one might wonder why he opts for cheaper things at times. This can be answered as today he is saving for his own enjoyment and thus it won’t be a wonder if a middle class Indian buys a luxury villa in a metropolitan city as well.

This new strategy is highly evident, in the travel sector also. Man today is after the cheap flights for his traveling needs. Man has started valuing money, but the increase in the crisis in each and every sector is leading man to tend towards the cheap flights. It is also a wonder as the uncompromising species of human beings have attained and mastered the art of compromising, as the cheap flights never offer the amenities of at least a normal flight. Today the demand for the cheap flights is increasing not on a gradual basis but at a much faster pace, as booking is done, irrespective of the status and creed. The increase in demand for the cheap flights also suggests the high dependence of people on the fastest mode rather than relying on other sectors like the railways and the ship.

The season of crisis and recession has thus turned to be fruitful for the travel sector in one way or the other, as the cheap flights proved to be mutually beneficial both on the part of the sector and at the same time equally on the part of the consumer. People today beyond comfort and quality give importance to the means and think of how they can avail the same at the lowest possible rate. This strategy, though gifted by the crisis, has led the cheap flights to get noticed and the demand has also led them to improve the comforts as well.

Indian Recipes and the Associated Misconceptions and Facts

Indian Recipes and the Associated Misconceptions and Facts

Many first-timers to Indian cuisines and cuisine carry age-old thoughts (read myths) with regards to the recipes of India. In the article below, get to know the facts and background of some myths and even some truths about Indian recipes.

Indian Food is always spicy: This is the overall consensus among foreigners. Not true at all. While Indian recipes in general is more spicy, there are plenty of cuisines where the food is even sweet and bland. So if spicy is not your preference you could try those cuisines, for starters Gujarati cuisines are perfect for people who dislike spicy food.

Gujarati cuisine has a touch of sweetness in virtually all of its dishes. Traditional South Indian cooking (except Andhra Pradesh) is generally less-spicier than other regions in India. Kashmiri cuisine also incorporates sweet tasting dishes in its menu. So when someone tells you Indian cooking is spicy, don’t entirely believe them.

The majority of Indian recipes are Vegetarian: Well, not entirely true. While many sections of India are strictly vegetarian, the array of non vegetarian cuisines available in this part of the world is immense.

Contrary to widespread belief, many Indians are meat-eaters and cook them well too. Chicken is perhaps the most well-liked meat in India. Cow is considered a sacred animal and is avoided by Hindus though Muslims and Christians eat beef. Sea cuisines is also well-liked in coastal regions like Goa, Mangalore, Kerala, West Bengal and others.

There is no variety in Indian cooking: Many, especially foreigners and first time visitors to India, are of the opinion that Indian food doesn’t have many of choices. Indian cuisine is probably the most varied cuisines-culture in the world!

This is really a misconception around the world and even in India. Chicken Tikka did not originate in India. It was brought into India by Mughals and has its origins in Persia.

Its all about curry: Another misconception While curry might have been made famous by South Asian ethnic groups in Britain and USA, it isn’t all about curry. Outside India, curry is generally referred to as a spicy, thick gravy, but curry is not just that, curry in South India means a vegetable side dish.

Indians eat food with their hands: Sometimes shocking to a visitor to India is the practice of eating cuisines with hands. This is true as Indians consider eating with their hands as tastier in addition to being ritualistic. Also, most Indian dishes are difficult to be eaten with forks and spoons. Many Indians today use their hands in addition to forks & spoons.

You will also find that in certain Indian regions, food is served on a banana leaf or an areca nut leaf. These traditions are passed on to families since many generations and several modern Indians continue to follow them regardless of caste differences.

Child Labour in India

Child Labour in India

India has the highest number of labourers in the world under the age of 14 years. The constitution guarantees free and compulsory education to children between the ages of 6 and 14. Although the Constitution of India prohibits employment of children younger than 14 in any hazardous environment, child labour is present in almost all sectors of the Indian economy. Some of the sectors involved in child labour are beedi manufacture, fireworks manufacture, diamond industry, domestic labour, construction, etc.

Child labour is most predominant in the beedi manufacture sector. More than 30% of the total hired workers are children. The United States Customs Service had banned the import of Beedis made in Ganesh Beedi Works of Mangalore. In Surat, which is the hub of the diamond industry in India, 25% of the workforce comprises children. However, in the past few years there has been a significant decrease in the number of child workers especially in Gujarat. This has been possible due to the continuous efforts of many groups and an increase in the awareness among people connected to the diamond industry. The fireworks manufacture sector in some places like Sivakasi, employs children at wages as low as Rs. 20 per day. It is estimated that more than 3,000 children work in this industry. Unfortunately, many of them die in accidents. All across India, we get to see children working as domestic labour and as workers at dhabas, hotels, offices, etc. Children can also be found in the construction of both home and office buildings. In 1982, for the construction of the Asian Games Village, the contractors had employed child labour, for they had to be paid less, making it a giant issue. Another industry where child labour is highly active is silk manufacture. Human Rights Watch estimates that at least 3,50,000 bonded children are employed by the silk industry in India.

There have been many initiatives against child labour by the government and non governmental organizations. In 1979, the government formed the Gurupadswamy Committee to tackle child labour. The Child Labour Prohibition and Regulation act was enacted based on the recommendations of the committee in 1986. The act bans employment of children in occupations related to

§ Transport of passengers
§ Manufacture and selling of crackers and fireworks
§ Carpet Weaving
§ Manufacture of Beedi, cement, matches, explosives, soap, agate products, agarbatti, etc
§ Building and construction industry
§ Hazardous processes under the factory act

The violation of the act can result in punishment ranging from imprisonment from one month to two years. Many NGOs including Save the Children have been working to eradicate child labour in India . Save the Children is driven to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. For this, we have developed various schemes and policies for child protection. It is our mission to eliminate child labour completely from the society and facilitate the development of children enabling them to reach their full potential.
