The Lion Monument
Hello Allys,
Hope You all are doing fine this Friday. This week special feature is from the Snowland – Switzerland. Yes, Switzerland is one of my favourites for in Goa we don’t get snow! Like any person from Uttarakhand who visits Goa, goes gaga about the beach. I go gaga about the snow. However Today I am not discussing about the sno, but about a famous landmark – The Lion Monument. This monument is the pride of Lucern city. Widely also known as the The Lion of Lucern.
This Ancient Monument has a story to tell, just like how every monument has one. But the story of this one will definately touch your soul. This monument was built to salute the hardwork that the Swiss put during the French Revolution. This place has turned to be one of the most visited landmarks, turning out to be a major tourist destination in Switzerland’s Lucern city.
The idea of having this monument engraved on the cliff dates back during the early 18th Century. Where the Danish Sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen designed this monument along with Lukas Ahorn to carve the cliff into the design of the picture we see today. If one takes a closer look at the monument one can see some text written on the top of the cliff in latin which says Helvetiorum Fidei ac Virtuti which means To the Loyalty and Bravery of the Swiss.
This beautiful monument we see is of a Lion carved on the cliff depicting the plight of a dying Lion. The dying state of the Lion with a shield near him and spear peaking from his body, while he is seen covering the fleur-d-lis which means stylized lily (Symbolizing the French Monarchy) This depicts how the Lion symbolizing the Swiss fought bravely till the end to safeguard the honor of the French, eventually loosing their lives.

Social Media DeTox
Hello My Allys,
Hope you all are doing well! It is Tuesday again and here I am. Well, you all must be wondering how can I make a statement like that, a person who is every week attached to social media always bring to you something different and hutke is asking you to have a social media detox.
When I first pitched this idea to my friends just to get a reaction from them. I realised smartphones have become an inseparable element in most of our lives. And to top the list is Social Media, that feature is used most of the time in any smartphone. Be it to watch videos sent on whatsapp, or just to scroll through Facebook or Twitter or Instagram. It has indeed become a part of our lives, the most addictive thing ever! Even if we aren’t texting anyone we are just scrolling through feed on Instagram or Facebook or Twitter. And when I say We, well I mean it as Me too. Yes, several times I too do the same.
Sometimes we think or say to ourselves that we will scroll through social media for just 5 minutes but end up sitting almost half an hour, only to realize you are already running late from to school, college or work.
Now, having a social media Detox isn’t difficult. You need to do it in the right way. We cannot avoid social media platforms completely as to how many disadvantages it has, it has several advantages too. It connects us to our friends sitting in one country to the other! While it also helps us to explore the world, while we stay connected to family. But as it is always said too much of anything can be dangerous.
Try to avoid using your phone atleast 10-15 minutes before you go to bed. You can either pick a book and read or else brush and floss too are best options at night, just before you hit the bed.
Secondly, avoid your phone early morning especially when you on the bed. Wake up, get to the nature admire the nature the leaves, flowers feel blessed and grateful for the countless moments the universe has given you.
Third, try to Unfollow people who aren’t your real friends, unsubscribe yourself from emails and most importantly delete apps you don’t use. Several times, it is because your phone blinked or the notification triggered is the reason that you went to your phone to check it, resulting into hours of scrolling through some other applications.
Try to spend more time in real with people, rather than on social media looking at someone else’s virtual world. Explore a place near by, visit/revisit an old friend, someone who you didn’t meet but there isn’t a single day passed without that person crossing your mind. Send flowers to that person! Who doesn’t love flowers? Send flowers and make them feel special. Gestures like these in the long run will make you happy! It is only when you are happy, you can make someone else happy! Its like a chain, when you make someone else happy, he/she reciprocates the same to someone else and then it goes so on! Ting!
Whatever you do, wherever you are stay happy! That’s all what I pray for you all! And of course I pray for one more thing that after reading this article, you will like, comment and share your views about social detox whether or not, this a need of the hour. Have a wonderful evening!
