How Much Water Is on Earth? Total Water and Freshwater Explained

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE • EARTH SCIENCE How Much Water Is There on Earth? Can our planet ever run out of water? Exploring Earth's enormous water reserves, the freshwater shortage and the future of humanity. Water is one of the most extraordinary and essential resources on our planet. Our planet is called the Blue Planet for a reason. Approximately 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water. But does that mean we have an unlimited supply of water for human survival? Look at the oceans, rivers, lakes, glaciers and countless streams across the world. Water seems almost endless. It falls as rain, flows through rivers, disappears into the ground, freezes into ice and rises into the atmosphere as water vapour. Yet billions of people experience water shortages. Some communities struggle to obtain safe drinking water, groundwater reserves are declining in several regions, and pollution is making important water sour...

🇮🇳 14 November – Children’s Day (India)

 Celebrating Childhood, Honoring Chacha Nehru’s Vision

👶 A Day of Innocence, Imagination & Inspiration

Every year, 14th November is celebrated across India as Children’s Day, a heartfelt tribute to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, who was affectionately called Chacha Nehru by children. The date marks his birth anniversary.

Chacha Nehru firmly believed that children are the real strength of a nation and the foundation of society. He advocated for their education, health, and overall well-being, recognizing that nurturing young minds is essential for India’s progress.

🧒 Why This Day Matters

Children’s Day is not just about sweets and stage programs. It’s a powerful reminder of our responsibility to:

  • Ensure quality education for every child

  • Foster creativity and curiosity

  • Protect children from harm, abuse, and exploitation

  • Encourage their freedom of expression and play

In a nation as diverse as India, inclusivity in childhood—across geography, gender, and socioeconomic status—is both a challenge and an opportunity.

🎨 Art, Childhood, and the Joy of Expression

As an artist, you know that children view the world with pure wonder. Every sunrise is a miracle, every tree a friend, and every cloud a story. Their imagination is unbounded—and this day celebrates that spirit!

Here are some artistic ways to observe Children’s Day:

🎨 Draw or paint "My India, My Dream" – capturing how children envision a better world.
📸 Curate a photo essay showing children at play in different settings—rural, urban, tribal, etc.
✏️ Host a workshop where children make art with the theme “The World I Want”
🖋️ Share poems or short stories written by children, for children.

🏫 How Schools and Parents Celebrate

Across India, schools celebrate the day with:

  • Cultural performances, games, and fun activities

  • Talent shows, storytelling, and fancy dress competitions

  • Teachers performing skits or songs to entertain children

  • Special assemblies focusing on child rights and education

Parents often mark the day with family outings, gifts, or simply listening to their child’s dreams.

💡 Thought-Provoking Activity: A Letter to the Future

Ask children to write a letter to their future selves in 2035, sharing their hopes, fears, and ideas. It’s a powerful reminder of how much they have to say—and how much we must listen.

💬 Final Thought: Childhood is a Canvas

Let’s not rush childhood. Let’s protect it, celebrate it, and let it bloom.

“The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country.” — Jawaharlal Nehru

🖌️ Keep celebrating childhood through your art and your heart.

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE • SUCCESS & LEADERSHIP Rejected by KFC, Remembered by the World: The Jack Ma Story How rejection, persistence, curiosity and an unconventional vision helped shape the journey behind Alibaba. RESILIENCE • ENTREPRENEURSHIP • POSSIBILITY Sometimes, the door that closes in your face becomes the beginning of a journey you never imagined. Imagine applying for a simple job, standing among 24 candidates, and discovering that you are the only person who has not been selected. For many people, that moment could become a lasting source of embarrassment, self-doubt or resentment. For Jack Ma , the Chinese entrepreneur associated with Alibaba, this rejection became one of the most widely repeated episodes in his personal story. He has publicly recalled that 24 people applied for a KFC job in his city, 23 were accepted, and he was the one who was rejected. But the real story is not about a fast-food job. It is about wh...

Same Tree, Different Eyes: The Psychology of Perspective

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE • HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY Same Tree, Different Eyes Why we see the world differently—and how perspective shapes our decisions, relationships and lives. We do not always see things exactly as they are. We often see them through the lens of who we are. Imagine a large, beautiful tree standing beside a quiet road. Its branches stretch towards the sky, its leaves dance in the breeze, and its shade offers relief from the afternoon sun. A child might see a place to discover birds and nests. A carpenter might see the possibility of creating a table or a chair. A woodworker might think about timber. A businessperson might calculate its commercial value. An environmentalist might see biodiversity, ecological balance and the importance of conservation. The tree has not changed. Its physical presence remains the same. Yet the thoughts, emotions and possibilities it evokes are remarkably different. This simple observation ope...
