'Museums are Binoculars to History’ and ‘History is the Compass to the Future’ | International Museum Day

On 18th of May which marks the International Museum Day when I was going through my albums it struck me how much my visits to museums impacted me. Quite a few find museums boring, a necessary trip from school. Others see museums as ‘Binoculars to History’ and believe that ‘History is the Compass to the Future’. Museums just don't preserve our heritage, they preserve the knowledge, the understanding, the social structures that succeeded and failed and allow us to interpret our current circumstances so that we can take better decisions and carve a better future. There have been societies and cultures that have reached great zeniths but have collapsed because the knowledge was not preserved and was lost when the few who had it passed away. When we enter a museum, if we stop looking at exhibits as just objects and start visualising the life that happened around it, you will feel like you have entered a time machine.

An Artist’s Story

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived an artist. He was known far and wide for his beautiful paintings.

The artist went to the medical room and found a bottle of painkiller to paint.but it was out of place.it was placed in such a w...

Women’s Day: Then and Now

112th Women’s day has come and gone. The passing of each women’s day witnessed more strides and victories for women. Women franchise is now an accepted norm. Women entering all fields of work has become easier. Women’s right to property is a legal right in most parts of the world. However women’s decision making power is still not universal. Challenges at work including glass ceiling persist. Women’s day is an apt occasion to remember and salute the movements that achieved results and also to analyse and list out problem areas that women should focus their fight on. However with each year the overwhelming atmosphere is dominated by companies which are just using women’s day to promote their products. When it was decided to celebrate women’s day, it was to celebrate the achievements and progress that women had made but now it has predominantly become a day for discounts, dresses and parties. Women always fought against the oppression against them. Even just 50 yea...
