      On this day (1st of November) World’s 1% of the world is celebrating  ‘’World’s Vegan Day’’ proudly. They have big reasons to be proud of themselves. Veganism is more than a diet, it is a lifestyle. Most carnivores make fun of vegetarians without knowing the difference between a vegan and a vegetarian. Let’s figure that out first.   Vegetarians are taking animal byproducts like cheese, egg, and honey. What they execute is only the meat of animals. On the other hand, vegans don’t take any meat nor animal byproducts like, cheese, honey, milk or they even don’t wear leather items. Also, they don’t even support businesses that exploit animals like zoos. This style of living is a pretty big deal. Because they have to take all the necessary nutrition from vegetables, fruits, or other sources like supplements.   This impressive 1% of the population all around the world does not take part in the crime of killing more than 1 billion life's animals to feed the hungry every single day.

  UN Day marks the anniversary of the entry into force in 1945 of the UN Charter. With the ratification of this founding document by the majority of its signatories, including the five permanent members of the Security Council, the United Nations officially came into being. There is no other global organization with the legitimacy, convening power and normative impact of the United Nations. Today, the urgency for all countries to come together, to fulfil the promise of the nations united, has rarely been greater. 24 October has been celebrated as United Nations Day since 1948. In 1971, the United Nations General Assembly recommended that the day be observed by the Member States as a public holiday. History and milestones The Charter was signed on 26 June 1945 by the representatives of the 50 countries. Poland, which was not represented at the Conference, signed it later and became one of the original 51 Member States. The United Nations officially came into existence on 24 October 1945

Cooking is therapeutic, we've all heard, but perhaps 2020 has been the year when almost all of us tried to experience it while being at home! With the lockdown in place, we had little or nowhere to go outside and we turned towards the kitchen for all our cravings and more often to simply experiment. And what led to these experiments were a series of food trends that went viral and took the Internet by storm!  2020 and 2021 have been quite a year of viral food trends. The current health crisis initiated by the CoronaVirus pandemic has made us all sit up and take notes on the importance of maintaining our health. The need of consuming nutritious food throughout our lifetime and the problem of food scarcity got the attention it needed.  World Food Day is Celebrated among most of the countries in the world on the 16th of October every year to commemorate the foundation of the United Nation Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945. Gradually, the day turned into a global event, creatin

   Mental Health is one of those subjects that people in our lives have become so reluctant to talk about. Conversations about Depression, Anxiety, other Mental Health Disorders, suicide and so many other topics regarding Mental Health are always talked about in whispers or even not at all. Addressing them loudly will often find you in awkward situations with a few judgmental glances or sometimes even a death stare. The current situation in South Asian Cultures like ours seems to promote a person ‘looking’ happy and successful instead of them actually being happy and satisfied and at peace with themselves and their surroundings. The beginning of the problem is that we have forgotten that we are part of nature and that nature was never meant to be perfect. We fall, we rise, we win, we lose, we learn to adapt and overcome. We were not designed to have everything together all the time. The notion that we should, is what limits us as a society to adapt and to overcome difficult situations

So actually who is this “Teacher”?. A teacher is a person who teaches, especially in a school. According to the Sinhala language, the meaning of the “Teacher” is the person who is worthy to be respected. The teacher is highly regarded in society for his honourable service.   UNESCO has reserved an international day to celebrate the teachers and that is “Teacher ’ s day”. UNESCO declared October 5 th as the World Teachers Day, in 1994  and since then it is celebrated worldwide on the 5 th day of October every year, but in Sri Lanka, it is celebrated on the 6 th of October. Although UNESCO has set a specific date for a celebration, the government of a particular country may choose another date for its purposes and some reasons. Because of that Sri Lanka celebrates Teachers day on the 6 th of October. The reason for this
