I have loved flowers that fade, Within whose magic tents Rich hues have marriage made With sweet unmemoried scents: A honeymoon delight, A joy of love at sight, That ages in an hour My song be like a flower!.

I have loved airs that die Before their charm is writ Along a liquid sky Trembling to welcome it. Notes, that with pulse of fire Proclaim the spirit's desire, Then die, and are nowhere My song be like an air!.

Die, song, die like a breath, And wither as a bloom; Fear not a flowery death, Dread not an airy tomb! Fly with delight, fly hence! 'Twas thine love's tender sense To feast; now on thy bier Beauty shall shed a tear.

- Robert Bridges

Let’s Talk About Cricket

Cricket has been a prevalent sport in the subcontinent for a long time. It is something that the locals relate with to a great extent. Be it bowling, or batting, or fielding for a match. Interestingly, Cricket was introduced in this region from the British when they acted as colonizers. The locals picked up the sport and adopted it as if it were their own sport, thereby developing a strong conviction to it. Experts agree that youngsters living in the Weald, a region of thick forests and clear

What are Sports to Society?

We all know what sports are by definition. We have all heard of different games like cricket, basketball, football, hockey, and many more. Other people enjoy watching different sports and some people can be enthusiastic enough to never miss a game. Regardless of what sport you choose or what level of enthusiasm you show towards the game, it can be agreed that sports hold a specific meaning to society. The definition of a sport goes far beyond knowing the rules of the game. There is a greater con

Military Culture

You might have heard that different cultures exist across different ethnicities, but if you have seen some of the most classical military-based movies like “A few good men”, or otherwise have an interest in military life, then you will know that there is a completely different culture in the Military and although civilians might not be able to understand that culture, it is well practiced in the military.

In a world full of innovative technology constantly being created and with social media never ceasing to break new boundaries, Japan has introduced a new application that will allow you to share with the world when your toddler makes a bowel movement. What a concept.

It’s known as the Unko Button and was made by 144Lab. It’s a small box that has two buttons. By simply pressing the button, it automatically shares the exciting news that your little munchkin has made a big one. There’s even a chat group though Line, a messaging application used in Asia.

Unko is the Japanese word for poop, which is of course, where the gadget gained it’s name. The developers have said that the device is ultimately created for parents who are very busy and need a simple and efficient way to keep track of their baby’s digestive system.

We all know though, that most people, parents or not, are interested in one common thing; sharing their personal details on social media and getting tons of feedback and support to justify their every move.

It is hard to know why parents are really using this. It is without a doubt important for parents to follow their child’s patterns, especially at such a young age, but the social media aspect is rather concerning about what it entails for the privacy of the baby.

Developers claim that the social media option is just a way of letting a dad know if he is away at work, for example. But the sharing feature is not limited to partners.

Either way, the Unko Button also records specific details including the date and time and which kind of movement occurred. It is so advanced that it can take note of consistency and color, as well as the mood of the baby at the time. The application that is connected can help parents also get an approximate estimate of how much diapers will cost them, based on the baby’s activity level.

At the moment, the Unko Button is not yet on the market. The developers are working on gaining more funds to mass produce the product by crowdfunding.
