Thud was the only sound

The world began to fade 

The pain was like a sharp blade 

“You have a heart of stone“ I heard as I fell from the mound 

the feeling, you may ask,

Was as devastating as destroyed dreams,

With each splashing sound,

Came unmountable grief but it also brought a sense of fight and relief.

Its target date to reach net zero emissions remains 2070 - much later than the date set by many other countries and not in line with the Paris agreement, which proposed 2050 as the target date for net zero to keep global temperature rises to 1.5C.

Net zero is where a country is not adding to the overall amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

India has also confirmed pledges to generate 50% of its electricity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030, and its target for maintaining forest cover, which acts as a carbon sink.

However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced at the last COP a target for 500 GW of its energy capacity to be from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030.

But that does not appear in the updated pledges given to the UN.

Welcome to my podcast on women's empowerment.

In today's episode, we will be talking about Kamala Harris in brief!

One woman whose name you will probably have heard many times over the last two years is Kamala Harris.

That's because she made history back in November 2020 when she became the first woman vice president of America and the first black and South Asian American to take on that job.

In 2019, she launched her own campaign to become the Democratic Party's nominee, which means she put herself forward to be selected by the Democratic Party to stand as president. While she did not win the presidential race, she was chosen by the Democratic candidate Joe Biden to be his vice president in the 2020 election! The pair won and she inspired millions of girls and women all over the world.

Like a lot of political figures, Harris has received both criticism and praise. But many feel Kamala has shown it's possible to thrive in male-dominated environments.

Thank you for listening to my short podcast

 

Reading books is an incredible experience that can transport you to different worlds, introduce you to new ideas and cultures, and broaden your understanding of the world. It's a form of escape from the daily routine, and a way to engage with characters, stories and events that would not be possible in real life. Whether you prefer fiction or nonfiction, books have the power to challenge, inspire, and entertain. With the turn of each page, you gain new knowledge, develop empathy, and engage in introspection. Reading books is a lifelong journey of discovery and growth that can enrich your life in countless ways.

Reading leads to the expansion of human thinking and intellectual capacities and strengthens your spirit. Every genre teaches something whether it is fictional or non-fictional. Reading is not limited to books only, you can read wherever you want, whatever you want and whenever you want and it all will be worth it. Knowledge is never known to be a curse and what is not a curse, is always beneficial.

Reading books is also a great form of entertainment. Whether we are reading a mystery, a romance, or a science-fiction novel, books can provide hours of escape and enjoyment. They allow us to immerse ourselves in different worlds, meet new characters, and experience new emotions. This form of entertainment provides a welcome break from the stresses of daily life and can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
