Feast brings respite from odd routines

  On an important occasion, I had the great opportunity to attend a feast arranged at a posh hotel in our famous city of Kanpur's prominent Jajmau area.  Various delicious items were arranged on the stylish table. The guests were really free to choose what they liked to consume. There was a considerable rush but not in any way uncontrollable when I entered the grand air conditioning space. Soon, the humble host emerged, and we liked to step forward for embracing each other as human decency permits us to do on such occasions. I did not lose much time sharing a light joke. I briefed him that I saw you standing from just outside, but you were out of sight the moment I entered the a bit dark hall.  He, in his usual manner, did not pause to say how a man so fat could not be viewed from quite a short distance. Thus, we laughed to the full heartily. Among various dishes, there was also the regular Biryani. How would be missed due to its wide acceptability? When it was indeed ava...

Hanna straps son to deliver a speech



It is a realistic narrative. So, don't expect the plain truth to quickly vanish. Still, the German politician Hanna has a lot to say clearly, especially since her wide popularity has earned her a name. Hanna Steinmüller, a 32-year-old German politician, has been a straightforward advocate for better visibility of children in our daily lives. She has begun to stress this issue since becoming Germany's first member of parliament.

It couldn’t possibly be low self-esteem. She has brought this reality to life by taking a novel idea and placing it decidedly at the practical end of the real-life spectrum. She has defined the real-life requirements. What was worth witnessing was her confidence as she addressed the Lower House. She was not only seen cradling her newborn child but also brought her little son to the Lower House. Her indomitable confidence was immense at such an exemplary decision. 

Belonging to the Green Party, she was not hesitant in strapping her son to her body when she delivered a speech in the Bundestag, Germany's lower house, during budget week recently. 

She made no hesitation in clearing "That wasn't planned,"  as Steinmüller told  the media."I only brought my son because he was sleeping. I thought, if I pass him to a colleague now, I will wake him up."

Steinmüller praised Bundestag President Julia Klöckner for allowing lawmakers to bring their children into the chamber when they are still being breastfed.

However, one significant Tuesday marked the first time that a lawmaker addressed the plenary while holding a baby. It was important to her to establish that children are part of everyday life. "But many people are unable to do that type of grit, especially single parents."

She said the common expectation remains that childcare can be organised for the entire day. "We believe the government should talk more about the millions of people who have to juggle work and childcare every day," the Greens, who are in opposition, think so. They noted the value of having political leaders who comprehend what it means to care for a child. 

Lawmaker Hanna Steinmüller is pushing for more visibility of children in everyday life, after she became the first member of parliament ever to address the lower house while holding a baby.
