5 Ways To Dispose Old Books

[image error]I recently came up with a post on instagram by a certain European in which there was a room in which piles of books were lying clumsily. The caption read," Indians are uneducated people. They don't value education. They just sell their old books in kilos."
Some of you might gather to criticize the government policies as well as ignorance of some citizens lacking civil sense. But let me tell you. If you sell your old books to a raddi walah, you're not a good citizen either. Yes, you can sell old stuff and newspapers to them but books are not worth it.Books signify knowledge. When I visit someone's home. If he/she has a good collection of books, I really love that person.You might ask that if you aren't a bibliophile and want to dispose your old books, what should you do. I've got some options for you.1. Donate To Someone In Need.Donating your books to someone in need is the best thing you can do with your old books. If you give your book to a raddi walah, he will first of all think of his profit. Yes, he will resell those books.Once, my dad subscribed to a magazine on the trends in medicine (he's a doctor). That magazine was too expensive.After the editions got old, we used to sell them to kabadi in kilos. Once, one of the dad's compounders wanted that book. At that time, we didn't have any. He finally bought one from the same raddi walah at 100 bucks to whom we sold at 11 rupee/kilo.Even if the raddi walah, doesn't resell, he would transfer it to a paper factory, where those books will be compressed and for each book that is compressed, one child would be deprived from his right to education.So it's better to donate your books to any needy person.2. Donate To Library.I've practiced this step and it really satisfies. You can accumulate some punyas in your account. Charity is a boon.I had a number of old books which were occupying too much space in my house. They were coursebooks, of course, so I didn't need them now. I donated them in my school library. Now I feel happy that many children will get to read them.3.ResellYou can accumulate a big deal of money by selling your old books. In this way, your books don't break the cycle of supply. In offline shops, second hand books can be bought at half price, so if as individuals we wish to sell our books, we ought to sell them at a rate between half and fourth of the price.4.StockA deal can be ensured between people to secure the books. Like sharing of books between friends. Many often I've used the books of my cousins and siblings.5.Creative ProjectsMany of my ideas might sound hyperbolic to you, so I suggest you one easy solution. In many books you'll be able to find pictures for your projects. This will save your money of printing or buying stickers or cutouts.

8 Ways Doing Art Helped Me.

I love colours and I love colouring too. In recent days, I've made a comeback to the art. My exit from art also has a great story behind.
When I was in UKG, my parents got me a 365 paged colouring book which hasn't filled till date.In childhood I used to draw horrible portraits of children.I got the second prize in an art competition by ING Bank and consolation prize in one by BVP.
Note- All these pictures are clicked using Samsung J8. You can buy it from Amazon. What Is The Reason That I Acquitted Art?In school, stress was laid on imitating the sketches and portraits drawn by the art teacher on the blackboard. There was no scope of creativity. There was a rat race of standing upto the standards, of being the best.To me, this feeling is not artistic.My art teacher rejected my entry for a rubber ball designing competition calling it 'childish' but what I realise is that Art is all about initiative and creativity which she violated.  8 Ways Doing Art Helped Me.1. No Rat Race Of Being The Best.I'm literally tired of running in this rat race of showing the best, being the best. Nobody's perfect. Even when you've won one race there's another.With the art which I make, I'm completely satisfied with what I make. It is unprofessional, but beautiful. 
2. Ideas Are My Own.I don't have to imitate what my art teacher has drawn on the black board. I express my emotions. I let my mind free to seek inspiration.You know where my ideas come from?They come while I'm studying, when I get stuck on any topic, my hands involuntarily start scribbling on the notebook. I've started fairing these designs. 3. No Pressure From Art Teacher.Art doesn't come from the edge of a stick or from the fear of punishment. Art is worth loving but not from any point of view of following standards. Every artist has his own ideas and creativity. 4. Helps Me Avoid My Afternoon Sleeps.I really feel very sleepy during afternoon. When I start studying from the morning, my mind really gets tired by noon.Earlier I used to sleep for an hour or two but I recently read that it's bad for our health. So I opted for Art and I've seen that I sleep straightly at night without sleeping in afternoons. 5. Managing Stress And Boosting Creativity.Art helps me face the stress I encounter while studying. Also it doesn't let my sparks fade. I get new ideas and make use of them. I relive my childhood. 6. Takes Just 10 Minutes.The designs I make are simple and take just ten minutes. I use crayons which are compact and convenient.7. Nice Background For Other Images.When I click pictures of important objects or articles, these pictures act as nice background.8. Making A Photo Stock.Sometimes I feel like I've nothing to post on instagram or for my blog headers. There I'm able to use my art.

11 Ways Stopping Watching T.V Helped Me.

Sounds so easy, right? But it’s not.  Actually, watching T.V is one of the biggest addictions of the world. My act of leaving T.V is like winning a battle for me. Before I discuss with you how stopping watching T.V helped me, I would like to share with you, why I left watching T.V.Why I Stopped Watching T.V?I stopped watching T.V because I knew it is worthless. Right from our childhood, we’re taught to write an essay on T.V and what do we have to write? T.V is crap, T.v is an idiot box, bla, bla, bla.1.     Repeating episodes.I used to watch some science and tech shows some time before. But their problem was, the shows from India had nothing special to showcase, the knowledge they had was nothing in comparison to that I have. Those episodes which were telecasted from abroad had more repeat telecasts than they had real episodes.2.     Story-less serials.The telecasting of some serials is really appreciable but most of them usually end up on the same track- Saas-bahu. I don’t know if production teams plan their serials’ end. The story they start with is usually covered within a year. I don’t know, why and how some serials are able to carry on for decades!3.     Unreal Reality ShowsIt’s obvious to see many reality shows on the T.v that they are scripted.11 Ways Stopping Watching T.V Helped Me.It’s been since the 1st of June 2018 that I stopped watching T.V. I don’t watch it till now. I was so amused to watch the T.V when I went to get the scooty serviced.1.     Focusing On Studies.Now, I’m able to focus better on my studies. Also 12thclass students are expected to stay away from distractions. So did I. 2.     Focusing On Blogging.I’ve also been able to focus on my blog, I’ve my creative juices flowing. I get new ideas for blogposts. I post more creative content on social media.3.     No Stories Of Serials Crawling.It’s the problem of every other person but now not mine.  Earlier, when I watched T.V, the story of serials remained in my mind and chased me when I would be studying or blogging. This was really irritating.4.     No Crap in life.I think that one of the biggest sources of crap in life is T.V. In serials there are men and women (characters) who do nothing and are good for nothing. There is an aunty or any other relative old lady who is jealous of everyone, thinks malicious and knowing about everything and everyone is important for her. All this doesn’t happen in life that one keeps on blushing and weeping every time.5.     Positive Attitude.When you keep watching different movies and serials, you adopt a villain like attitude, you doubt everyone. This doesn’t happen all of a sudden but gradually. When you leave watching T.V you feel back like a human.  Leaving Watching television I feel more positive than ever.6.     Better Memory.I am now able to recall incidents, words from my vocabulary , news and even my lessons more easily. As I previously mentioned, there is no memory of serials crawling in my mind.7.     Leisure Time.Earlier I used to spend one hour in the afternoon and two hours at night watching T.V. That sums to twenty one hours a week. After Leaving T.V; I’ve been able to save this time. I also sleep on time which doesn’t cause me stress.8.     Better Eyesight.You can easily, what would happen to a person who sits twenty one hours a week in front of television. Earlier I had a few aches in my eyes as well as in forehead but now they’re gone.9.     Dining Habits.When you watch T.V, you don’t just watch T.V, you also like to have your meals in front of it. You’re in a hurry, I don’t know of what. You don’t chew it properly. This results in sedentary lifestyle and obesity. Leaving T.V has enabled me to enjoy the food my mom cooks with so much affection. I use dining table for my meals. I chew it properly. I can proudly say that it is digested properly.10.FitnessI perform yoga, morning walk but I still have time to enjoy my day.11.Reading TimeI’m a human, I need entertainment. This might be your query, but not mine. There are various sources of entertainment. I read. I love reading. You too can join a library where you can get many books.If you’re not interested in reading try some music instead.

Some Practical Teachers' Day Ideas Tried By Me

Teachers' Day is observed on 5th September every year. Massive celebration takes places in schools and colleges. This day is celebrated to honor the teachers and show the gratitude to them. Let me tell you how we celebrated the teachers' day in our school.

Dressed as TeachersSince I'm in twelfth class, in our school, twelfth class students are supposed to be dressed as teachers. I too dressed myself like a teacher and went to school.Insights Of My Personal Style.I wore a Arrow's white shirt, Timex's watch, Monte Carlo's trousers and Woodland's shoes.They all made be look like a complete man.I cannot share with you the pictures of the entire event as phones weren't allowed inside the campus..
Experience With Students.I was allotted class 10th A to manage. One student from another section was also with me in the same class.I started with their introduction.But I stated that their introduction should follow the given format.Name Of The Student.HobbiesThe Stream they're going to opt for after class 10th.Their favorite social media personality.What they felt about their school.What they felt about their city.The answers of the questions 1, 2 and 4 were given very well by the students. Though some students perceived it as a one-word answer questionnaire , it was meant as a structure for composing a paragraph to enable the students introduce them better.Now Let me share with you the answers they gave for the remaining questions.The Stream They're Going To Opt For After Class 10th.Many students didn't have an accurate answer to this question. Some hadn't decided till then. Only a handful of students were confident about whether they were going to take either science or commerce.When I asked the students why they chose commerce, they simply said they didn't like science that's why. Some said that they're going to opt for science because they didn't like commerce.I explained to them that one should be passionate about the stream he chooses, no stream is a second option.What They Felt About Their School.Many students answered vigorously till question 4 but their spirit faded once they reached question 5th. Many students called their own school loser. Some even used the words like 'crap', 'dustbin', 'misery' etc.I explained to them that our school is the only english medium school of the district which maintains an english speaking standard.I further told them that in other schools of the district, children are told to cram two essays and either of them comes in the exams. But in our school, students are taught to write by themselves from third class itself. Our school fosters manifestation of ideas.I told them about my experience about visiting the government district library and how rude the librarian was. Their librarian didn't have any record on the number of books. I told them that our school library has twenty thousand books which is quite a large number on account of any school library.What They Felt About Their City.Many children called this city 'the crime city' but I told them that if they look on the data of previous years there is less number of criminal activities than rumored. Muzaffarnagar is known as sugar bowl of India.It's Gud Mandi is the largest in Asia and the jaggery is exported to all over the world.Muzaffarnagar is also the origin point of Bhagwat Puran. Read this blogpost to know more about this.Even if you leave the other points, how can you call your home a crime city?

4 Ways We Celebrated A Happy Raksha Bandhan

Disclaimer-This site uses affiliate links. But only those links are used for the products I personally approve of.
Raksha Bandhan is the festival of bonding between brothers and sisters. The spirit of celebrating festivals has underwent a significant change within the past 50 years. Now, more than love or affection, money plays the role; to which I disagree with.
Here are the 4 Ways We Celebrated A Happy Raksha Bandhan.

1. Visited The Second Sister at Her Hostel.We made a visit to the second sister, Shreya Sangal who is currently studying in Greater Noida. My Eldest Sister, Palak Di, Tying rakhi on my wrist.We didn't pay attention to the decor of the place, you can see the environment. Both of my sisters tied the Rakhis around my wrist in the warden's compartment, which was the biggest icon of simplicity.2. We Promoted Simple Rakhis.When you buy costly rakhis, you find them very heavy which are intolerable for your wrist to work with. Soon you discard them within a few days. If you promote the purchase of simple rakhis, you save money and those rakhis stay longer on your wrists. My cousin Parkhi tying Rakhi On my wrist.

3. We Didn't Make Moments To Click, We clicked the moments.Nowadays, many people have made their lives picture oriented. They do everything to make their pictures to stand out on instagram. They do everything just to click pictures and upload them.
If we make moments and thenrecord them, we've got a benefit. Candid pictures are praised the best. Also when you get pictures clicked doing what you're really enjoying, happiness is expressed through your eyes. My second eldest sister, Shreya.
Location courtesy-Bikanerwala, Greater Noida.4.We Dined Simple but Sufficient.People are getting food conscious nowadays. But mindsets of people remains the same. Some people fill their plates even with what they don't need. As a result, that food gets wasted. This Raksha Bandhan we dined simply but sufficiently. The dining table at home laid up very well.We also visited Bikanerwala Restaurent in Greater Noida for breakfast as well as The Cheetal Grand , Khatauli for Lunch.  It was a serene experience at Bikanerwala, Greater Noida. The view from the balcony of The Cheetal Grand, Khatauli A lotus and the fishes at The Cheetal Grand, Khatauli.

6 Substitutes For Cereals To Consume During Fasts.

The Hindi month of Saawan is going on. This is the season of showing devotion to Lord Shiv, playing on swings, drenching oneself in the rain and fasting. This fasting/upwas/vrat is done by people of almost all the age groups, especially in India and other countries with a significant Hindu population. However the type of fasts vary from person to person. Some people prefer fasting on monday only; some prefer the entire saawan; while the types of fasts also vary.
On Shivratri, I uploaded a series of stories asking my followers if they knew about the food items specific to fasts. Many of them didn't even know. This inspired me to share this as my blogpost.
The diet I'm discussing for fasts is basically for people who're opting for Phalahaar, a diet which consists of fruits and their products.
6 Substitutes For Cereals To consume During Fasts.
1. Tapioca (साबूदाना /sabudana)This product is derived from the sap of the root of the cassava plant which is solidified and then shaped into small spherical balls. People fry them to make chips, papads and khichdi from this.

2. Trapa/Chestnut (सिंघाड़ा/singhada)It's a fruit which grows in water. Some species grow in the same way like weeds and mushrooms but nowadays people have started raising living by growing them. Chestnut is of two kinds - Soft and Ripe.The soft chestnut is tasteless but has a fruity flavor which is usually eaten raw.The ripe chestnut is also tasteless but it doesn't have the fruity flavor. It's is boiled and consumed with lemon juice, chillies, spices and other condiments( just like you consume sweet corn).Chestnut is also dried and powdered to make flour. It is used as a binding agent in cutlets, rotis etc.

3. Barnyard Millet (सामक के चावल/samak ke chawal)This species is basically a weed which grows along with the rice crop. The seeds of this crop are identical to rice grains, though smaller, in flavour. They're thus used in place of rice during fasting days. They're also used to make kheer. 
4. Buckwheat (कुट्टू /kuttu)This is a plant cultivated because it yields seeds which are similar to grains but differ in grain like properties. China and Russia have topped in the production of this commodity as buckwheat provides warmth after consumption.
5. Amaranth(राजगीरा/चौलाई/rajgira/chaulai)This plant yields seeds which have a high quantity of starch. Not only seeds but leaves of the plants are also used. Several curries are made from the leaves. Sweets like laddoos can be made from the grains. They even help in losing weight.

6. Foxnut(मखाना/makhana )These nuts are derived after roasting the seeds of lotus flower. They provide many nutrients and are tasty too. Some myths related to keeping fasts.1. You can consume tea while fasting.I've seen a number of people consuming tea while fasting. But let me tell you, it's prohibited to consume fermented foods while fasting. So you can't consume tea, coffee, chocolate or anything that is fermented.2. Keeping Phalaahar Fast is easy.Keeping Phalaahar fast is not easy. In hinduism, people are free to choose the kinds of fasts they keep. If they keep phalaahar, it's their decision. You can't point them out.

The Dark Side Of Forgiveness You Must Consider.

Is it easy to forgive someone who has drained your energy, interfered with your aura or used you?

One of the biggest controversies among personality development gurus is about the phenomenon of 'Forgiveness'. Everything's fine with it except a few points of caution, ignoring which can make a person regret.
Some well-known postulates in favor of forgiveness are-

It helps to move on.it de-clutters your mind.Stop! It's not over yet. You need to consider the whole scenario. First of all we must consider the dark side of these two postulates before we move on.
1.It Helps To Move On.The culprit has turned you into a victim of circumstances. He has set up a fear deep in your subconscious mind. Whatever stays in your subconscious mind is going to chase you for a long time. Your peace of mind lies above all.Even after you forgive anyone, the incident is in your mind. Even if you forget, your subconscious mind is not going to forget it. Are you ready to forgive someone for such a HUGE mistake?2. It Declutters your Mind.When you know that the incident and it's consequences caused by a culprit are still in your mind and will remain even after you'll have forgiven him, the policy of forgiveness is therefore impractical. It's better said that done. Here, my purpose is not to inculcate in you the abstract graceful ethics (which may be orthodox and difficult to comply with sometimes) but to introduce you with some compatible tactics that might help you with solving your day to day problems. The Dark Side Of Forgiveness You Must Consider.Hence, here are some points to help you consider the dark side of forgiveness.Matter Remains The Same.The matter has remained the same. It hasn't changed. It won't change even after a long span of time. The statement is constant.Let's suppose- If X slapped on Y's cheek then the fact cannot be changed that X slapped Y, no matter how much fallacy does the incident suffer with. Truth will remain the same.Has The Person Apologized? It is worth knowing whether the person you're going to forgive is feeling guilty for his deeds. If no, then there's no value whether you forgive him or not.You Haven't Moved On.You have cried day and night, sweared, called heaven and earth and so on. You've wasted your valuable time which cannot come back once gone. Have you been compensated with what you've lost? Can you be compensated?Is Forgiveness an appropriate solution of this HUGE Loss?The Culprit Might Repeat.There is no chance that the person won't repeat; the mindset and the environment of upbringing has a profound impact on the individual. Let The Fire Of Envy Be Burning.Don't put out the fire of envy; keep it burning. This fire will enable you to judge how much has the act of culprit harmed. In this way, you'll be able to think of his punishment in a certainly better way. If you effortlessly forgive any person, he would take it easy the next time he causes you trouble.Whatever Is Done Cannot be Undone.Whatever is done cannot be undone. Nor you can trust him again. Why do you bother burdening yourself with toxic people.Ascertain Your Self Respect.I read in Linda Goodman's Star Signs that all of us are surrounded by auras which consist of rainbow colors. Those colors are more prominent which represent our state of soul the best. Now it's your turn to decide. Is it easy to forgive someone who has drained your energy, interfered with your aura or used you? All of us are surrounded by auras which consist of rainbow colors. Those colors are more prominent which represent our state of soul the best. Think over it. If you liked this article, share it; follow me on instagram. You can also buy my ebook  'Sarita'.

The Biggest Difference Between Blog And Website That Is Not Understood By Readers.

Today, the trend of blogging is on a rise. Everyone loves to follow bloggers and get to inspire by their lifestyle. But many of the people in India don't even know what blogging is. Some just stick to a particular module or characteristic of blogging and claim that that is blogging.
But blogging is a wide concept. Today I needed to discuss the difference between a blog and a website; the reason behind is not that I wish to prove myself superior, but to erase a myth. Sometimes the myth creators get so confident that the truth seekers begin to doubt themselves.
What Is A Blog?A Blog is a website that is regularly updated with small modular webpages (blogposts). It is generally not static as it keeps on being updated by the operator (or referred to as blogger nowadays). What Is A Website?A website is a page on web which displays some information. Difference Analogy Between A Blog And Website.Every blog is a website and that's certain; but it's not necessary that every website is a blog too.If a website is regularly updated with relevant content through blogposts, it is a blog.Website is of two types- Static and Blog.Static Website is that website that displays only one webpage. This is used by different people who don't wish to upload regular content.Blogging Website is that website that is regularly updated with modular content or blogposts.Hilarious Assumptions By People.1. Blog Is Always Personal.Some people suppose that blogs are only those webpages in which people share their personal experiences. But the assumption is unfortunately wrong. 2. Only URLs with .blogspot or .wordpress are blogs.Some people differentiate between a blog and a website by seeing .blogspot or .wordpress in the URLs. But some bloggers also purchase custom domains with which they don't need to put .blogspot or .wordpress.3. Blog Means Literature.Some people think that blogging means literature. But, let me tell you, whenever you search for anything on the web, the results which appear up are usually all blogs.

The Less Known Origin Point Of Bhagwat Puran You Must Visit

The Shukdev Ashram is situated on the top of a cliff from where your views can venture into the green fields and serene atmosphere.I'm hodophile by nature. Personally, I don't like going to places which are crowded, polluted or are hollow.Nowadays many tourist destinations have nothing left in them but shopping complexes which don't offer any recreation. Instead they push people in a further materialism trap. Travelling is for spiritual rejeuvenation, while materialism drains the soul's energy. Another school of thought says that materialism is required for living. Now my readers might wonder if there is any place left in the world which is a great travel destination along with being a center for anti-materialist spirituality.The one and only destination for the purpose is Shukratal.ShukratalUnlike other pilgrimages it hasn't still gained international recognition but it's contribution to hindu literature and indian culture is monumental. This place, being the origin point of Shrimad Bhagwat Puran has played a role in sustaining the legacy of Lord Krishna. The main gate of Shukdev Ashram.Shrimad Bhagwat PuranWhenever any author writes any book, he/ she tries his head and shoulders to promote the text and publicize it in every way he can; still it is indomitable to see that Bhagwat Puran which originated thousand of years ago has it's sermons relevant to every generation. It didn't need any marketing tactic and found it's place in every home and devotees' hearts.I read Bhagwat Last Year. It's basic text is 980 pages long, still it can be found in summarised editions too. The book is based on conversations between Samrat Parikshit (Son of Abhimanyu) and Shukdev( a sixteen year old saint). Samrat Parkshit was then desperate about the frailty of Kaliyuga. Shukdev then told him that everything is ephemeral and what remains is the name of god. Throughout the 12 skandhas(chapters) he illustrates his point with various incidents of past and forthcoming future. The idol of Shukdev sermonizing to Parikshit.But this isn't the only fact which makes the scripture indomitable. in 10th skandha, life stories of Lord Krishna are discussed. Various aspects of Yoga are discussed. Even they discuss about the seven continents of the world.You can buy Shrimad Bhagwat Puran from Amazon.
SpecialityWhile reaching the place, you can see many beautiful farms and sugar mills through your car/bus' window. You'll see the British period's Ganga Canal Bridge.On some occasions you'll come to see nilgai. The time's gonna be great.Other than Shukdev Ashram, you can visit Ganga Ghat where you can boat , Nakshatra Vatika where you can feel replenished.In Shukdev Ashram you can see a tree which is older than five thousand years. This is the tree under which Shukdev delivered the Bhagwat katha to Parikshit.
The Shukdev ashram is situated on the top of a cliff.How To Reach?If you ever make up your mind to visit Shukratal. You must plan properly. There are various Dharamshalas and food corners in Shukratal . You can also stay in Muzaffarnagar which is just 30 kms from there.

17 Tactics That Made Doraemon So Popular

Doraemon is my favorite cartoon. Not only mine, this is the cartoon which I believe has influenced nearly the child of nearly every age and income group as well as of different generations. I used to watch it when I was in fifth standard (nine years old). Now my distant nephews like to watch it. Even the grandchildren of our housemaid like to watch it too.

It is unbelievable that Doraemon which made it's debut appearance through the means of comics illustrated by a Japanese man, Fujiko went viral across the world in 1970s, a period during which the people didn't even know about the term 'Internet'.

 What has made Doraemon so popular? I've carried out a small research at my level and I'm sharing those 17 tactics which the producers might have used.
17 Tactics That Made Doraemon So Popular.
1. Emotional Connectivity With Children.Children are sensitive. They generally get connected with anything which touches their emotions. The producers have targeted the entire audience of children. They provided the clean content regardless of place and time.2. Nobita's Attraction To Shizuka.Most of the children whether they tell or describe or not have some feelings external to friendship with someone. So when they saw Nobita flirting with Shizuka, they found their stories of life parallel to him.3. Rivalry Between Nobita and Degi Sugi.Shizuka used to befriend with Degi Sugi, which used to make Nobita envious of him. 4. Degi Sugi, The Studious ChildEveryone of us have a classmate who is very good at studies and generally has a withdrawal from other activities. Children like befriending them with mean ends. Such was the case of Degi Sugi. Seeing the condition, even studious children who don't like watching cartoons, love watching it.5. Obstentatious SunioObstentatiousness or showy nature is the problem of every generation, from children to uncles. This nature of some children is showcased by Sunio Monikava. He has too many uncles who send him expensive gifts. His dad is a rich estate owner who affords to take his family to abroad excursions. His mother is an enthusiast of shopping clothes and jewelry. He himself has a passion of meeting celebrities. Of these achievements, he boasts heavily.Don't you feel irritated when someone constantly talks about his wealth. The character was included in Doraemon so that children who hate this kind of people can feel pity after watching the episode.6. Gian, The BullyNo matter, which country do we live in; in every school, there is a bully. Bully is often flattered by a weak but cunning person. The character of bully is played by Gian Goda and the flaterer is Sunio. They both tease Nobita extensively.7. Nobita, The Dull ChildAll of us have some classmates who are not so good at studies and are often teased by everyone. They constantly feel themselves as load on earth. The character is played by Nobita.8. Doraemon, a Cat RobotThe lead role of the cartoon episodes is Doraemon , who is a male cat robot. this can be quite hypothetical. But imagining this 1970s is really a applaudable task. As soon as he entered the life of Nobita everything is changed.He looks cute and children literally love watching cute little things.It's every child's daydream to get something magical. So gazing at something magical (Doraemon's gadgets) was what they fascinated. The above mentioned eight points signified how the characters of Doraemon made a difference. Now let's discuss about how their marketing schemes were different.9. Clear And Impressive AnimationDo/did you like Shin Chan? The reply must be obvious. It's for kids. But I must ask, then why Doraemon? Isn't it for kids?Look! here is a difference. Shin Chan's animation is like someone has drawn (perhaps Kindergarten Children) but the animation of Doraemon is neat which makes it upto the standards of even middle school children. While the scope of Shin Chan has just limited to primary school students.10. Worldwide TranslationThe episodes of Doraemon are translated into various languages. Even in India, the episodes have been translated into several regional languages. Even many of the movies are made with hindi phrases( for e.g. Doraemon and the Jadooi Tapu).11. Advertising.Not much money is needed to advertise if budget planned properly. While advertising Doraemon, No hateful or misguiding content is used. They have recently made their presence on social media. Many accessories and Toys of Doraemon are now available in market.12. Credible For Parents.Whatever is showcased in Doraemon is trusted by the parents of children. By this way, they're able to explain their children about many aspects in a healthy way( for e.g. Nobita and Shizuka's date, pinkening of cheeks of Shizuka while being shy).13. SimplicityThe content is simple and easy to be understood. Children get to learn many new things. By means of Doraemon's gadgets, children know and generate interest about science in an amusing way.14. Creating All Time Relevant Content.The content is relevant even after the story is set in 1970s. Children find parallelism of the concept with their day to day life. They strengthen their morality.15. Fact- Undisclosed Last Episode.You can call it a rumor, controversy or conspiracy, but a recent youtube video has gone viral showing the story of the last episode of Doraemon.
