Symbolic photo Jharkhand Spirit, Deepak Mishra :  Recently, I witnessed something that left me deeply concerned. A five-year-old girl from my relative’s family had been watching videos on a mobile phone for almost four continuous hours. What surprised me even more was that her parents did not say a single word to stop her or even try to interrupt her. When it was time for her to go to school, she began making excuses and refused to go. After having lunch, instead of studying or playing, she once again picked up the mobile and started watching reels endlessly. An old lady of the house, noticing all this, softly remarked that this habit could spoil the child and that it was not good for her future. To my surprise, instead of understanding the concern, the parents defended their child, saying, “She is a modern-era baby and is learning a lot of things from mobile.” I chose to remain silent at that moment because I knew they wouldn’t understand what is truly happening. But deep insi...

View of Madhuban Shikharjee Jharkhand Spirit, Deepak Mishra :  Even as half of September has passed, Madhuban Shikharjee continues to be drenched by incessant rainfall. The continuous downpour is not only troubling the thousands of pilgrims who come here with faith and devotion but also affecting the daily lives and livelihoods of local residents.
