“Where words leave off, music begins.” Music, the word itself refreshes and rejuvenates our minds and souls. We feel afresh once again. Music is therapy. Everything in this world has its music. The raindrops falling have music, the leaves rumbling has its music, the birds chirping have their own, and everything is musical in this world. We grow up with music. We hardly find someone saying they do not love music. Music is inbuilt in our souls. We learn different musical instruments as we grow up. They make us more patient and calm. We have all tried singing at some point in time in our life. Singing helps us to feel at home. We have music for different moods. Music seems to say the unsaid feelings of our hearts. Be it a wedding or a party, music is mandatory. Unknown people connect over music. Music is said to release dopamine in our brains, the reason why we feel happy and relaxed. Music is just not for recreation purposes it has several health benefits too.

Music has always been a part and parcel of our lives. We can imagine the discomfort and irritation we have when we forget our ear pods at home while traveling for great distances. Music is a need for traveling long distances all by ourselves. It frees us from our loneliness and it is the best travel partner. Nowadays, carrying ear pods has become a necessity as we do not dare to travel in this chaotic environment. Music saves us from the commotion and confusion of the real world and transports to a land of our peace. Music is a healer, a best friend. Plugin your ear pods and keep on listening to music…

Why recycling should be necessary? ( by Neha Soni ) Why should we recycle? A question that is always around us but we fantastically ignore it. So why do we do that? Why don’t we recycle things or at least make some habits in our schools, colleges, or workplace that will segregate the recyclable products? The answer is simple- we are either not bothered or not have enough knowledge of the importance of recycling. Recycling is a process in which waste materials are converted into new materials and products. The new products which are formed are used, again get recycled and the cycle repeats. This is done to prevent excessive usage of raw materials and will help us in preserving the environment. Recycling is one of the main components of a waste management system and is the third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" waste motto. Thus, recycling aims at environmental sustainability by substituting staple inputs into recyclable waste outputs.   Products which can be recycled a
