Delhi-The New Girl City

Posted In: . By Journalism student

For the first time ever, Delhi has set a record ratio of 1004 females for 1000 males. If the statistics are to be considered true, then the question is—how positive is the change? Does the improved ratio mean that our society has finally accepted girl child rights? Or is it only a mere number game? Listen to the audio story attached and see what the experts have to say.

54 galleries - 17 international ones, over Rs 40 million worth of art work. Almost 5000 footfalls each day. And huge sales...India Art Summit--the name still echoes in the art industry even after a week since it ended. The main attraction was the global appeal that the event had. Art pieces from around the world were available all under one roof.

The event was supported by Sotheby's in collaboration with organisations in support of the fine arts including Asia Art Archive, Asia Society, Lalit Kala Academy, The Devi Foundation, and The British Council. A well organised affair, India Art Summit was undoubtedly an event worth visiting. Check out the audio clip below to experience this grand fair. Know what was there what wasn't......

Tihar jail---what comes to your mind when you hear this word. Violent prisoners? Harsh police officers? Fights? Injuries? Iron bars? Concrete?
Tihar’s Association Barrack (where under trials are kept) will break your belief. Lush green trees; a small library; carom board; TT Table and a silent ambience defines this ward.
What’s more now…. this place has Music too.
The jail authorities have brought in music therapy to reduce depression and criminal instincts among first time offenders.
Furthermore, the music also helps in keeping under trials away from the negative influences of other inmates held back for serious crimes.
To know more about music in jail, listen to the audio clip below.
