LEARNING IS LIFE

Measure of Ban on Gold Selling and Buying: Limerick  The law-chief declared, with a sigh - Our coffers are empty, oh my! No gold to be bought, But lootings were wrought, So guardians watched gold, passing by.!

 Shed the dread of death. it's new beginning:  A poem The ending fills us with a chilling dread, A vast unknown, a shadow we can't chart. Our little minds can't grasp the final fade, A change of form, a worldly life depart. It’s not annihilation, this strange role, A natural passing, making spirits whole. Deem death a phase within life's art, A shift in being, not a final start. Awareness guides us to the unknown goal, A transformation, not a stark black hole. Embrace the truth, this ever-present chart, That death's renewal is life's truest art.

  INSPIRED POEM The world, a fleeting, painted show, A mist that fades as breezes blow. It shifts and turns, a whispered lie, Beneath a vast and changing sky. Your breath, a spark, a fragile flame, Soon to be quenched, lost to the game. Your flesh, a vessel made of dust, Returns to earth, as all things must. The scrolls of old, the preacher's plea, The words of men, they cannot be The solid ground on which to stand, They crumble in your open hand. So find the truth within your soul, And make your spirit strong and whole. For in yourself, the answer lies, Beneath your own discerning eyes. When falsehood's mask you cast aside, And in your inner self confide, Then freedom's dawn, you shall behold, A liberation, brave and bold.

 "NATION FIRST' POLITICS: LIMERICS A leader, "Nation First!" he cried, Demanded sacrifices and pride. While tight grip he did seize, Crushing freedoms with ease, Liberties nowhere to hide. The ruler, with threat in his eye, Cried, "Danger! We're doomed if we try To think on our own! Give freedoms we've known, For safety, so you won't ask why!" The grand King cried, "Danger is near!" To make dissent sound like pure fear. "For unity's sake, Great sacrifice you'll make!" Then silenced all the dissent, it's clear.

  Free HVP Vaccine Drive and Opposition to It The Indian Government started a free HPV vaccination campaign across the country in February this year. This initiative targets girls aged 14, those who have turned 14 but are not yet 15, to help prevent cervical cancer. The focus is on a single-dose schedule the vaccine. The campaign will last for three months at government centers, primarily in schools, with the goal of reaching 1.15 crore girls through the U-WIN digital platform.  Activists and human rights advocates view this as unethical, claiming that village and tribal girls are being used as 'guinea pigs' due to mandatory participation enforced by government machinery. In other news, there have been lawsuits related to the Gardasil HPV vaccine, with hundreds of individuals alleging they experienced serious injuries after receiving the vaccine. The plaintiffs argue that the safety profile of the vaccine was misrepresented and that there was a failure to adequately inform abo...

 Kalnemi: A word in focus and a limerick In Hindu mythology, Kalnemi is a Rakshasa sent by Ravana to kill Hanuman while fetching the Sanjeevani herb. He symbolizes deception, appearing as a saint to trick devotees. Purportedly, he represents hidden dangers and hypocrisy or deceit, to be beware of, informs a Google AI prompt. Early this year, Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati described Kalanemi as a demon who wears the robe of a saint, saying, "Look here, the robe is of a saint, but cow slaughter is happening' in UP. Literal meaning of the world is ' the felly of the wheel of time.' The word has gained currency in Indian politics since law makers are described as 'kalnemis' whose words and actions are at odds. Kalnemi Limerick Kalanemi, with a grin so sly, Pretended good, beneath a lie. With a smile and a wink, Devout folk would think, Then steal their trust, way up high.
