Happy Mother's Day - A Valuable Lesson

 Happy Mother's Day! 

My mother, Shrimati Kamlesh, taught me a valuable lesson when I was young - to respect every individual, no matter who they are or what they do. She believed that being a law-abiding, hard-working human was enough reason to show respect to someone, regardless of their social status. In Hindi language, there are two words for "You" - "Aap" and "Tu / Tum". "Aap" is considered the respectful form of address.

I noticed that people around me were surprised and confused when I addressed workers or domestic help with "Aap". They would often ask me why I was showing them so much respect. To which, I would simply ask them back, "Why not?". For me, it was a matter of principle - I believed that every individual deserved to be treated with respect, regardless of their profession or social status. Using "Aap" was my way of acknowledging their worth and showing that I valued them as a human being. Looking back, I'm grateful for the lesson my mother taught me and the values she instilled in me. It has helped me become a better person and treat everyone with the respect they deserve. #mothersday #mom

Reuters Training Course: Introduction to Digital Journalism (Meta Journalism Project)

 Credential URL

The course has been informative and has given me valuable insights into various aspects of digital journalism, including news gathering, writing, and publishing.

However, I must say that there is always scope for improvement in any training content. While I found the course to be comprehensive, I think it's important to address the issue of false balance and bias in journalism in couple of examples cited in a module.
