THE MAJESTIC
MORNING
The Sun rose,
Awaking the sleep.
Ponders my mind,
As the good thoughts peep.
Elatic ecstasy,
Lingering smile on the face.
Envy to forgive,
Happiness to embrace.
Flowery trees and bushes,
Giving the essence of life.
Blossomed to give,
Encouraging us to thrive.
As the day dawned,
Life seems to be happening.
As I woke up,
This Majestic Morning.

BASTILLE DAY, FRANCE (14TH JULY)
Bastille Day is a day of celebrations of French culture. Many large-scale public events are held, including a military parade in Paris, as well as communal meals, dances, parties and fireworks. There is a large military parade in Paris in the morning of July 14. Service men and women from various units, including cadets from military schools, the French Navy and the French Foreign Legion, participate in the parade. The parade ends with the Paris Fire Brigade. Military aircraft fly over the parade route during the parade. The French president opens the parade and reviews the troops and thousands of people line the route. Other people spend the day quietly and eat a celebratory meal or picnic with family and close friends.
The Bastille is a
medieval fortress and prison in Paris. Many people in France associated it with
the harsh rule of the Bourbon monarchy in the late 1700s. On July 14, 1789,
troops stormed the Bastille. This was a pivotal event at the beginning of the
French Revolution. Fête de la Fédération was held on July 14, 1790. This was a
way to celebrate the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in France.
Official celebrations
were held in Paris on June 30, 1878, to honor the Republic of France. On July
14, 1879, more official celebrations were held. These included a military
review in Longchamp near Paris and celebrations all over the country. A
politician named Benjamin Raspail proposed that July 14 should become a holiday
in France in 1880. The law was enacted on July 6, 1880. Bastille Day was a
public holiday for the first time on July 14, 1880.
The military parade in
Paris has been held every year since 1880, except during World War II. The Free
French Forces paraded on this date in London, England from 1940 until 1944.
Jean Michel Jarre held a concert in Paris that attracted one million people,
then the largest recorded crowd at an outdoor concert, in 1979. Special
celebrations were held for the 200th anniversary of the French revolution in
1989. The French football team became world champions on July 12, 1998. This
sparked celebrations throughout France on Bastille Day.
Bastille Day celebrations
are held in French communities and the Institut de France around the world.
Such events in the United States are held in Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New York
City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle. There are festivals of French
culture in Franschhoek, South Africa, and Hungary.The Eiffel Tower in Paris and
the French national flag, or tricolor, are important symbols of
Bastille Day. The French national flag is one-and-a-half times as wide as it is
tall. It consists of three vertical bands of equal width colored blue, white
and red. The same colors are displayed in bunting and banners of many shapes on
Bastille Day. People may also wear clothing or face paint in these colors.

SIMPLE STEPS TO REDUCE EMOTIONAL INSTABILITY
The pandemic has definitely taken a toll on our mental health and
our emotional stability. It is nothing to be ashamed about, instead it would
genuinely help if we open up and accept it, as it would guide us towards
helping ourselves. This has happened to me too… we don’t feel like ourselves,
we are not able to work properly, we are unnecessarily upset, and many such
things.
So, here are small, simple tips to implement on your own, to get
rid of your emotional instability:
(This is not professional medical advice, just simple tips from
personal experience)
1) Try to wake up early.
2) Get some sunshine.
3) Try to get your body moving. Do some yoga, take a walk, workout
maybe.
4) Pay attention to the food you consume. Try get some raw
vegetables and fruits into your diet.
5) Get your sleep schedule straight.
6) Talk to your loved ones, your friends and family about how you
actually feel, and if you need any kind of help from them.
7) When you don’t feel like working, just sit and start working
for 5 minutes with your full concentration, if after that, you still don’t feel
like doing it, let go. But most probably you’ll get into your zone :)
8) Don’t use your energy equally, mediocre style, … for all your
mundane tasks and chores. Work in bursts of energy. Take up a small task, let
go only after you complete it.
9) Pay attention to your hobbies.
10) Make a list of things you are grateful for.
11) Write down things that genuinely matter to you. Let the rest
go.
12) Stop looking at what others are doing, this way, guaranteed,
you don’t compare yourself to anyone out there.
And remember - take care of yourself. You are important. Your
smile brightens up this world a little bit more :)
You are doing great! See how far you’ve come.
You are worth it all!

FOOTBALL
EURO 2020 FINAL PREVIEW, KEY STATS AND NEWS
The Euro 2020 Final is
set to be kicked off to a start on Sunday night. Two footballing Giants are
facing off in a quest to restore their past national glory in football. It is
Italy vs England in the final of the Euro 2020, and this final showpiece to be
held at the Wembley in London is special for numerous reasons. Euro 2020, was a
unique sporting spectacle, for the winners of the 2020 editions will be crowned
in 2021. It was for the first time that the European Championships were to be
played in more than two host nations, matches were staged across 11 cities from
11 nations.
The match is going to
be of huge importance for both nations, as it comes at a time after a series of
defeats and painful exits from various competitions. For England, it will be
their maiden appearance in a Euro final and their first final in a major
tournament since 1966 when the world cup came home. This has been the longest
gap between major finals for any European nation. Italy are one of the most
successful nation in world football, having won the World Cup for 4 times, and
the European Championship in 1968. However, they are yet to get their hands on
the trophy for over 50 years despite reaching the finals in 2000 & 2012. This
final will be Italy’s 10th major final, with only Germany having
played more (14) among European nations.
But recent record for
both nations have been rather lackluster & not in line with their past
glory. The England team has failed to live up to their hype, and faced a series
of painful exits from major tournaments while an ageing Italy side failed to even
qualify to 2018 world cup. The revival & turnaround of both sides under
their respective managers has been quite remarkable. Gareth Southgate has led England
to the World cup semis and now a potential trophy win since England were
knocked out by Iceland in euro 2016. Roberto Mancini has turned Italy from 2018
flops to a force to reckon with, knocking out Belgium & Spain on the way. The
Azzurri are unbeaten in their last 33 matches in all competitions, which is
their longest unbeaten run of matches. On the other hand, England are unbeaten
in their last 12 matches across all competitions. We all know for sure that
either of these records are going to be broken on Sunday. It is going to be tears
of joy for one team while a great debacle for another. Whose side are you on?
Let us know in the comments and do not forget to tune into the match on Monday
12:30 AM IST for nail biting action.
Speaking of nail-biting
action, there is more in store for you, this one from South America.
BRAZIL VS ARGENTINA:
COPA AMERICA
2021
FINAL
Rivalries don’t get bigger than this. A stage where the
world’s best play. Europe might be waiting for Italy vs England, but the 2021
Copa America final is the true classico. Brazil & Argentina share a century
long rivalry and have established themselves as footballing giants, sharing a
total of seven world cups between them. This match is more than just crowning
the Copa America champions for the 2021 edition, it is to settle old rivalries,
vengeance, and to prove themselves as the best. It is an important affair for
the Argentines who haven’t won a major tournament since 1993 and for Messi, to
win his first ever silverware with Argentina. Things have heated up due to a
dispute over the venue of this edition of the tournament. Argentina are a bit
salty due to the fact that this edition was to be held in Colombia &
Argentina but Brazil took over at the last minute due to unrest in Colombia
& rising covid cases in Argentina. This has denied Argentina that slender
home advantage which can prove to be of immense value in such tough affairs.
Make sure that you don’t miss this showpiece as it promises
to be a thrilling match. It will be held at the Marcana Stadium in Rio de
Janeiro with the match kicking off at 5:30 AM Sunday IST.
