Does professional course bring out the Content Writer in YOU?

In our race to hone our writing skills and stand out in this competitive world, we come across multiple institutes that offer various certificate courses.  We have been always baffled by the kind of offers and high expectations set by the institutes offering professional course. When there are several of such institutes, we are all the more confused which course one should go for as well as which institute to choose.  The ability to articulate and write in a logical way is usually seen as something inherent. So the question poised in front of us is whether Content Writing is something that could be taught?

Attending the administration of 'sacraments' allegedly becoming tempting for Catholic Nuns?

Perhaps, this is a puzzle that remains unanswered for a long time among laity, that while they invite catholic nuns, who are their close relation, for the baptism or marriage of their brother, sister, niece or nephew, etc. the nuns turn it down on grounds of not being allowed to attend such ceremonies. We hardly see any catholic nun attending sacraments such as baptism or marriage, when the whole religious life is centered on building up better christian families.

Therefore, there are separate forums for doing charity and social works.

"I am just over-sized"

The job of every security personnel demands them to be tough looking arrogant and ruthless. But it is all part of their profession and Zane Wilmans, Director of Protexx, who has been the security guard of Brett Lee while here in India for the Cochlear campaign, was perceived as no way different.

As I have been associated with Cochlear team for its media engagement programme for the past three years, I have been with the whole Cochlear team and also along with Zane. During the first campaign in 2017, i hardly spoke to Zane, being literally scared of the hefty man. During the second campaign in Trivandrum in 2018, i developed a greeting-each-other kind of relationship with him.

In the current 2019 campaign covering Kochi, Alappuzha, Thrissur and Irinjalakuda, in fact we became good friends. While being with a small group of Cochlear team he had fun and I had a few photo sessions while both of us were on a house boat on Vembanadu Lake.

The Fame being converted for a noble social cause

Each activity and media engagement organized for the cause - universal newborn hearing screening - is so thrilling like a T20 game with lots of energy and excitement. Former cricketer Brett Lee, the fastest bowler in the Australian cricket history and the 2nd fastest pacer of all time in the history of cricket, currently the Global Hearing Ambassador for Cochlear, is so passionate about the cause for which he has been there for quite sometime. Currently he has been travelling to Kochi, Alappuzha, Thrissur and Irinjalakuda from August 31 to September 03, 2019 spreading the awareness.

According to Brett Lee, "Cricket is over for me, now I want to dedicate my life for universal newborn hearing screening with the same dedication and zeal that I had for cricket in my life. If a cricket bat is given to every child in its childhood in India, why not newborn hearing screening is done for every child."

The Admiral who showed courage and determination only to abruptly abandon the ship

There has always been a criticism about Rahul Gandhi that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and power has been bestowed upon him from above. It is true to a certain extent that he did not come up from grass root level politics.

However, ever since he was elevated as the President of Congress Party he had been
