Growth Rate

विश्व में जनसंख्या वर्तमान में (2020) प्रति वर्ष लगभग 1.05% (2019 में 1.08% से कम, 2018 में 1.10% और 2017 में 1.12%) की दर से बढ़ रही है। वर्तमान औसत जनसंख्या वृद्धि प्रति वर्ष 81 मिलियन लोगों का अनुमान है।

1960 के दशक के उत्तरार्ध में वार्षिक विकास दर अपने चरम पर पहुंच गई, जब यह लगभग 2% थी। वृद्धि की दर तब से लगभग आधी है, और आने वाले वर्षों में इसमें गिरावट जारी रहेगी।

इसलिए विश्व जनसंख्या 21 वीं सदी में बढ़ती रहेगी, लेकिन हाल के दिनों की तुलना में बहुत धीमी दर पर। विश्व की जनसंख्या 1959 (3 बिलियन) से 1999 (6 बिलियन) तक 40 वर्षों में दोगुनी (100% वृद्धि) हुई है। अब यह अनुमान लगाया जा रहा है कि 2037 तक 9 अरब बनने के लिए एक और 50% की वृद्धि में लगभग 40 साल लगेंगे।

नवीनतम विश्व जनसंख्या अनुमानों से संकेत मिलता है कि वर्ष 2057 में विश्व की जनसंख्या 10 बिलियन व्यक्तियों तक पहुँच जाएगी।

Rishikesh: From The Eyes Of A Solo Traveller:-After postponing my trip to Rishikesh for almost a month I finally packed my bags last Friday, way before dawn, (Yes, of course it was dark. Yes, while you were still partying) got into my car and headed straight to the land of serenity and bliss. Thanks to the weather of Delhi that time for the lovely breeze that made my hair dance to the tune of the music playing inside the car, added its beautiful flavour to the entire journey. My fave part of such trips is stopping at random chai points and having a cup of hot masala chai. For amidst the lush greenery it gives you a different kind of high. So, far away from the pretentious world I continued on this journey where nobody would judge me for my messy hair, my track pants or for that matter roll their eyes for having seen me wearing bathroom slippers. (Did I mention that I am an impromptu traveller?)

15 things which prove that you have the best roommate in the entire PG:-Having a roommate in the PG who understands you like a friend, fights with you like a sibling and takes care of you like a parent, is the best thing ever, isn’t it? So is your roomie also the best? Well, if they have the following sixteen qualities then they definitely are the best roommates in the entire PG. Scroll down to read more and don’t forget to tag your roomies to let them know how special they are.

1.  They can tell how you feel by just looking at your face

One look at your face and they’ll know how you’re feeling. And we are not just talking about the moments when you are either happy or sad. An awesome roommate can even tell when you’re feeling hungry by just looking at your drooling face.

 

2. They share their food with you

Now all roommates are not like Joey Tribbiani, some of them love you so much that they share their food with you. Whenever they order something for themselves they make sure to order your favourite meal too. And when they use the PG’s kitchen to make maggi they always save an extra bowl for you.

 

3. They know exactly what to say to your parents

You do not have to teach them or write rules for them when it comes to talking to your parents, as they always know what and when to say. Whether they talk to your parents on the phone or meet them in person, they’ve always got your back. In fact you’re proud of how effortlessly they lie when they say something like, “Auntie, ye to har samay bas padhai karte rehta hai”, to your mom.

 

4. They clean your side of the room too

Now if your roommate cleans your side of the room too while cleaning his side, then it goes without saying that you have the best roommate in the entire PG. They have so much love in their hearts for you that they go a step ahead to show you how much you mean to them.

 

5. They rarely calculate finances as they know it will even out eventually

They do not sit down with a pen and paper, or a calculator and break down your share and their share for the meal that you just ordered. They know that the next time you will pay for it and it will eventually even out. In fact many a times they even treat you when something good happens by saying that, “Aaj ka dinner mujhpe”.

 

6. They are your best advisers

From career advice to love advice they are always there to help you make the best decision. And you might have realised many times that without their guidance you would have definitely taken the wrong step.

 

7. They know your diet but never judge you

Your roommate knows all about your enormous diet but they never judge you for it. And when they order a plate of veg noodles for themselves they make sure that they order one plate chicken momos, one full tandoori chicken, one full malai chaap and four roomali rotis for you.

 

8. They have seen you at your ugliest but still love you

They have seen it all, from your morning face to your wretched hair but still love you with all their heart. Isn’t it like the best relationship ever?

 

9. They dream of getting rich along with you

The two of you spend major part of your time discussing business ideas and want to be super-rich, but together. Being rich is important to you guys but ‘together’ is much more important than that.

 

10. They are your late night horror movie partners

You’re too scared to watch a movie alone but with your roommate by your side you can watch movies such as ‘The Conjuring’ and ‘Insidious’ like a pro.

 

11. They give you embarrassing nicknames

Your roommate gives you the most creative yet the most embarrassing nickname. And you don’t mind it because you know that they love you to the moon and back.

 

12. They participate with you in your cooking experiments

Be it your cooking experiments or doing other weird things together, your roommate is always your partner in the crime.

 

13. They listen to your baby talks without complains

Your mushy-mushy talks with your partner don’t bother your roomie and no matter how ridiculous your baby talks get, they are used to your “mele babu ne khaana khaya”, and never judge you for it.

 

14. They always stand by you

They are always by your side and even take half of the blame for the mistakes that you make.

 

15. They sometimes quarrel with you but cannot function without talking to you

Though quarrels happen at times between you and your roommate but this doesn’t mean that they cut you off their lives. In fact they cannot live without talking to you for even a few hours.

 

16. They make life in the PG worth living

Even if you’ve had a bad day you are always content with the thought that your roommate is your second family and you go and share your troubles with them. They are your best friend, and your confidants and above all they are the ones that make life is the PG full of fun and magic.

If your roommate loves travelling then this is the most ideal and unique gift for him. These miniature milestones shall remind him to keep on travelling to different destinations throughout the year.

Metal magnet

Metal magnets that carry super cool messages are a great gift for awesome roommates. They are full of drama and humour, just like your very dear roomie.

Pillowcase

Now is the right time to get rid of those flowery and check printed pillowcases because some fantastic pillow covers are now available in the online market. So add some fun and humour to your life and to your room, with these so very Indian pillow covers.

Amsterdam(एम्स्टर्डम)

जो लोग संग्रहालयों को अपने जीवनकाल के इलाज के लिए हैं। शहर चौंका देने वाली प्रासंगिकता के संग्रहालयों से घिरा हुआ है। इन शानदार संग्रहालयों में जाकर बस इतना ही सीखा जा सकता है। खाद्य और बीयर एम्स्टर्डम के अन्य विजेता तत्व हैं। इसके अलावा, उन वैध सामानों (यदि आप जानते हैं कि मेरा क्या मतलब है।) शहर के लेआउट में कई नहरों के साथ इसकी लंबाई और चौड़ाई के स्केच चल रहे हैं, तो यह एक भव्य दृश्य है। तो, वेनिस के वाइब्स के लिए एक फेरी की सवारी लें। लेकिन अगर आप घर वापस ले जाना चाहते हैं तो कुछ असली एम्स्टर्डम लगता है, तो शहर भर में बाइक और पैडल किराए पर लें।

Edinburg (एडिनबर्ग)

एक मध्यकालीन वाइब एडिनबर्ग को घेरता है। टहलने जाएं और आपको इस स्कॉटिश राजधानी घर को बुलाते हुए महल और जॉर्जियाई इमारतें मिलेंगी। शहर में संस्कृति और इतिहास गहरा है। इसलिए, बहुत सारे त्योहार। और बहुत से मेरा मतलब है कि एडिनबर्ग ने “विश्व के अग्रणी महोत्सव शहर” का खिताब अर्जित किया है। शहर का त्यौहार कैलेंडर हिल्ट से भरा होता है। वर्ष के किसी भी समय शहर का दौरा करें और एक जीवंत त्योहार के साथ आपका स्वागत किया जाएगा। यह बहुत अच्छा नहीं है ?! शहर एक अदम्य सुंदरता के साथ भी बहता है जिसने कई साहित्यिक आंकड़ों को शब्दों के माध्यम से अपनी भावनाओं को व्यक्त करने के लिए विकसित किया है। इसलिए, यह किताबी कीड़ा का आश्रय है और नवोदित लेखकों के लिए एक प्रेरणादायक स्थान है।

Beijing(बीजिंग)

बीजिंग पुराने और नए का बेहतरीन मिश्रण करता है। इतिहास और भविष्य के रुझान शहर में एक दूसरे के समानांतर चलते हैं। शाही युग से प्रेरित वास्तुकला के साथ उच्च वृद्धि वाली आधुनिक इमारतें एकजुटता के साथ खड़ी हैं। सांस्कृतिक रूप से निहित तरीके नए जमाने के साथ हाथ मिलाते हैं। यह चीन की राजधानी में खाने के लिए मिलने वाले भोजन को भी दर्शाता है। पारंपरिक व्यंजन एक योग्य अनुभव के लिए बनाते हैं। हालाँकि, इन्हीं व्यंजनों पर प्रयोगात्मक प्रयोग भी शहर में दिल जीत रहे हैं। आउटडोर बाजार भी ऐसी ही एक बीजिंग चीज है। ये बाज़ार उस शहर में एक जीवंतता जोड़ते हैं जिसे आपको याद नहीं करना चाहिए।

Cairns (केर्न्स)

केर्न्स का उल्लेख करें और हम में से अधिकांश ग्रेट बैरियर रीफ के साथ प्रतिक्रिया करने के लिए जल्दी हैं। जबकि यह ऑस्ट्रेलियाई शहर दिल से ध्यान का आनंद लेता है, यह प्रकृति की दुनिया के सात अजूबों में से एक के लिए घर होने के लायक है, केर्न्स की अन्य विशेषताएं अस्पष्टीकृत हैं। आदिवासियों ने ऑस्ट्रेलिया के इस हिस्से को बहुत पसंद किया। इसलिए, स्वदेशी संस्कृति के बारे में पता लगाने के लिए बहुत कुछ है। शहर में एक सुंदर सभ्य खरीदारी, भोजन और रात का दृश्य भी है। आप अपने दिल की सामग्री की खरीदारी कर सकते हैं, स्वादिष्ट भोजन का आनंद ले सकते हैं और रात को पार्टी कर सकते हैं। तो आप किसका इंतज़ार कर रहे हैं? केर्न्स के लिए उड़ान सौदों की जाँच शुरू करें और अपनी सप्ताहांत यात्रा पर एक अद्भुत समय लें।

Shah Jahan ordered the engineers and architects to prepare plans for a palace similar to those at Agra and Lahore. The construction of the buildings began under the superintendence of Izzat Khan. Alah Vardi Khan succeeded him as ‘Superintendent of Works’ and he in turn, were followed by Makramat Khan. The construction works of Red Fort were finally completed on 6th of April, 1648 A.D.The Red Fort witnessed many alterations when under the rule of different era Mughal rulers. After the end of Bahadur Shah Zafar period in 1857, Red Fort was further modified. The British after capturing the Red fort used it as their Army Cantonment.

Architecture:

The Red Fort is built very different from the Agra fort and was planned way better. Shape wise it is an irregularly shaped octagon, having two main gates (on the west and south, named as Lahori and Delhi gates respectively).Its two long sides are one the east and west while six smaller ones are on the north and south. It has a total length of around 915 meters and a breadth of 518 meters. It has a circumference of 2.4 km facing the river the walls rise to a height of 18.2 meters while on the land side they are 33.5 meters high.A ditch, 22.8 meters wide and 9.1 meters deep, run around the walls of the Red Fort, except on the river face. According to Francois Bernier, the ditch was in Mughal period filled with water and stocked with fish. The walls of the fort are built of red sandstone and are covered with a succession of turrets, kiosks, domes, balconies, windows and perforated screens, which make the exterior of the fort extremely picturesque.

The towers and kiosks lend charm and grace to the walls, which glow in the soft rays of the setting sun.Red sandstone and marble has been used to construct the fort in general. Diwan-i-Khas, Diwan-i-Aam, Mumtaz Mahal, Rang Mahal, Naubat Khana and Khas mahal are some of the important parts of the fort.The Diwan-i-Am with its courtyard is the central feature, and from the lesser courtyard in front of the Naubat Khana or Naqqar Khana. The roofs, walls, and colonnades of the Diwan-i-Am were hung with brocaded velvet from Turkey and silk from China. A gorgeous canopy was supported by silver columns. Another splendid canopy (for the throne) was supported by golden pillars, wreathed with bands of studded germs. Such was the pomp and glory of the inauguration ceremony of the fort, which was estimated to have been built at a cost of 10 million rupees.

Lahore Gate and Delhi Gate are the two gateways that gives a finishing touch to the citadel. The Lahore Gate faces the end of Chandni Chowk.  It is very imposing, especially with its splendid side towers and great central arch, 12.4 meters in height by 7.3 meters. The gate is protected by a barbican, which was built in the reign of Aurangzeb. Its walls are 12.1 meters in height. The wooden draw-bridge of the barbican was replaced by bridges built by the Mughal emperor, Akbar II.The Delhi Gate of the Red fort is considered inferior in architectural merit to the Lahore Gate.The Chhatta Chowk is behind the Lahori Gate. It is 70.1 meters in length and 8.2 meters in width, with a central octagonal court open to the sky. On each side of the arcade are 32 arched noblest entrances known to any existing palace.

The arched rooms were originally used as shops. In the Mughals times this bazaar (market) hummed with activity. The arched vestibule leads into the rectangular (6.9 meters x 42.6 meters). On the the centre of the eastern side is a well-proportioned building. It was known as the Naubat or naqqar khana (music hall). The royal band played here five times daily, except on Sundays and the king’s birthdays.The Diwan-i-Am, or Hall or Public Audience, stands in the centre of a court, which was originally 164.5 meters x 128 meters. This hall is designed in a stately manner to suit the solemn functions that were held here. It is built of sandstone, but was originally covered with shell plaster, polished to the smoothness and whiteness of ivory. It is a colonnade hall open on three sides and enclosed at the back. It is 24.38 meters x 12.19 meters or 297.2 m2. The richly carved and inlaid marble platform, where the emperor sat in state, is still there. In the recess behind this marble platform can still be seen some specimen of Italian pietra-dura work.

Independence day ceremony:

The Red Fort has become the symbol of India’s freedom. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India had unfurled the Tri-colour Indian National flag in Red Fort on the 15th of August 1947 to mark the end of the British rule in India. From then onwards, every Independence day sees the Prime minister repeating the same tradition amidst national rejoicings.World heritage site: The UNESCO declared world Heritage Site- Red Fort is a must visit place in the country’s capital city Delhi. Its architectural beauty and historic significance attract hundreds of tourists on a daily basis. A guided tour enlightens the tourists (old and young alike) about the lifestyle and kingdom related details from the Mughal times.
