Indian Government policies on Child Labor in India
India's policy on child labour has evolved over the years against this backdrop. The present regime of laws relating to Child Labor in India have a pragmatic foundation and are consistent with the International Labour Conference resolution of 1979.
Child Labor in India
Poor children in India begin working at a very young and tender age. Many children have to work to help their families and some families expect their children to continue the family business at a young age.
India has all along followed a proactive policy in the matter of tackling the problem of child labour. India has always stood for constitutional, statutory and developmental measures that are required to eliminate child laborr in India. Indian Constitution consciously incorporated relevant provisions in the Constitution to secure compulsory universal elementary education as well as labor protection for children.
Though most children begin working at a young age due to economic reasons, doing so allows them to break from some social constraints.

Mountain Bicycling
Mountain Bicycling
Experience India on two wheels. Go cycling and feel the wind touch your cheeks even as it lifts your spirits. Cycle through lanes, by lanes, forests, parks, mountains etc and experience the beauty of nature around you. Inhale the fresh air and feel rejuvenated once again. Cycling on the mountain can be little tedious as the terrain is rugged and going uphill can be quite an effort.

River Rafting In India
River Rafting is a popular sport on the Himalayan rivers. The most popular stretch for this sport is on the River Ganga near Rishikesh. This sport can be enjoyed by anyone of any age. It gives immense thrill to ride down on an inflatable rubber boat and hit against the rapidly flowing water waves which gush down the mighty Himalayas, brings the adrenaline pumping through your blood stream. The upper portions in the Himalayas are a white water rafting paradise. The challenge here is more intense. A trained professional accompanies the raft, and everyone is provided with life jackets and helmet for safety.If you are an amateur,you can try the medium intensity rapids at Hathni Kund on the mighty Yamuna river.
Adventure Tourism In India
India is a diverse country with four different seasons - winter, summer spring and autum. Likewise it has mountains and plains, deserts and beaches. Thus one can experience trekking in the great Himalayas with the snow covered mountains on the backdrop or visit the more warmer parts of Rajasthan for a desert trek, another good option would be the Western Ghats and the Nilgiris.
Trekking is different from mountaineering, as it does not require any special skills and equipments to do the same. Besides, trekking always refers to walking on trails. Trekking in India has become very popular and people from all over the world come to experience this adventure sport. Though it is a strenuous activity but it is the best way to get close to mother nature and know the people, culture and tradition of that land. Life in the interiors is very different from the usual life in India in general. Any trek you take is different from the other and has a character of its own.

Village Life
Medieval villages consisted of a population comprised of mostly of farmers. Houses, barns sheds, and animal pens clustered around the center of the village, which was surrounded by plowed fields and pastures. Medieval society depended on the village for protection and a majority of people during these centuries called a village home. Most were born, toiled, married, had children and later died within the village, rarely venturing beyond its boundaries.
Common enterprise was the key to a village's survival. Some villages were temporary, and the society would move on if the land proved infertile or weather made life too difficult. Other villages continued to exist for centuries. Every village had a lord, even if he didn't make it his permanent residence, and after the 1100's castles often dominated the village landscape. Medieval Europeans may have been unclear of their country's boundaries, but they knew every stone, tree, road and stream of their village. Neighboring villages would parley to set boundaries that would be set out in village charters.
Medieval peasants were either classified as free men or as "villeins," those who owed heavy labor service to a lord, were bound to the land, and subject to feudal dues. Village life was busy for both classes, and for women as well as men. Much of this harsh life was lived outdoors, wearing simple dress and subsisting on a meager diet.

Villages of India
Villagers in India manifest a deep loyalty to their village, identifying themselves to strangers as residents of a particular village, harking back to family residence in the village that typically extends into the distant past. A family rooted in a particular village does not easily move to another, and even people who have lived in a city for a generation or two refer to their ancestral village as "our village."
Indian Villagers share use of common village facilities--the village pond (known in India as a tank), grazing grounds, temples and shrines, cremation grounds, schools, sitting spaces under large shade trees, wells, and wastelands. Perhaps equally important, fellow villagers share knowledge of their common origin in a locale and of each other's secrets, often going back generations. Interdependence in rural life provides a sense of unity among residents of a village.

Move On After Broken Heart
I have rather complicated question. How do you let go of someone you love, you know its over, but in your heart it's as if nothing ever changed. I know you never get over someone you love but how do you move on?

Strike Stops Streetscape Work (Update)
If there ever was a project that was jinxed, it's the Morse Avenue Streetscape. In yet another delay on the seemingly never ending project, the workers are currently on strike.
Wonder if that's the case with the Graffiti Busters, too? Quite a few buildings in the area were hit hard a couple of nights ago. If they don't remove the gang tags in the next day or two, I'll post the gang tag markings and locations on the web to help the workers out in locating them.
Oh, one more thing: If you're into watching the local gangs sell drugs and fight in public, I'd suggest a sidewalk table at Act One Cafe. You can call 911 then watch the officers drive-by, which temporarily disperses the gangs into various neighborhood cubbyholes. The food is great and you can join the 911 caller pool on how many minutes it takes for the officers to drive-by and which hole the gang member(s) will hide in.
And, for the record: No bashing the Alderman. Joe Moore has been helpful in reporting the gang markings to the authorities in charge of this process. He's personally come out and reported the buildings in question. Something must be in the water in the 49th Ward offices. I even got a cheerful email from Wayne Frazier. So now it's up to the Graffiti Busters.

Shots fired on Clark
Around 5:40 PM, multiple 911 calls came into the system reporting shots fired at North Shore and Clark Street.
One caller reported a shirtless male black with six-pack abs fired twice in the air. Another caller reported after the shooting one group ran east - and another group ran west.
Police were looking to review Liquor Store video tape of the shooting, but the store owner had no camera. There are reports of a bullet hole in a window at 1718 West North Shore. Nothing further at this time.

Fargo Woman Has Questions
I'd like to know if anyone other me is concerned about the idea that Walgreens on the corner of Clark and Rogers has applied for a license to sell liquor.
The reasons I'm concerned are as follows:
1. The close proximity to both Pottawattamie and Touhy Parks
2. It is one block from the new charter school on Clark Street
3. There is already a proliferation of liquor selling establishments in the area
4. Last but certainly not least (in my book, anyway) it is right across the street from an A Safe Haven transitional living apartment building
O.K., O.K. I know. If you call A Safe Haven (or the Alderman's Office) and ask if the apartment building at 7419 - 27 N. Clark is a "transitional living" home for Safe Haven Residents, i.e. ex-drug and/or alcohol abusers, they would say no. BUT A Safe Haven owns the building and the people who live there (at least for the most part) are/were A Safe Haven residents. In the interest of full disclosure, technically an LLC owns the building but that LLC is a for-profit arm of A Safe Haven. I know, because mine was one of the families displaced by this organization when they took over the building five years ago. That said, I’m sure it’s obvious I don’t have a warm place in my heart for that particular 501c3 nevertheless, I still don’t think it’s a good idea to suddenly start selling liquor across the street.
Well, I got that off my chest. So thanks for reading and I’d be interested in knowing what any of you think about this new development at the Clark/Rogers Walgreens. Is it a good idea for them to sell liquor at that location?
- PEACE -
P.S. By the way, yes, I do know that that store sold liquor back in the early 90’s but that was before the new school and before A Safe Haven took over the building right across the street.
