TOP NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

Image
  Wishing all the readers of Morning Raaga a very Happy and a Prosperous New Year 2025 Top new year resolutions A  New Year’s resolution  is a tradition in which a person makes a promise to do an act of self-improvement or something slightly nice. A new year starts with a new zeal, new energy all over, and extreme degrees of optimism. At the beginning we sow the seeds of a resolution that we think will spread light on our way and guide our path over the year. Origin of New Year Resolutions : Babylonians made promises to their gods at the start of each year that they would return borrowed objects and pay their debts. The Romans began each year by making promises to the god Janus, after whom the month of January is named.

After 10 min he came to me and asked the same question again “ Amma when are we going”? I think there is no need for me to explain to the mothers out there, if something comes into the kids’ minds they will literally drill us and they don’t even let us breathe. I tried to explain to him that we came here on his vacation. “Vacations are for you only and not for Nanna (Dad)”. I explained to him in many ways and said nanna is having holiday on Friday only and we have to wait until Friday because its quite a new place for u...

A dam burst due to torrential rainfall which resulted in the collapse of the dam. More than 300,000 people have been affected across the country due to the flooding. The dam was nearby Port Sudan, the de-facto capital of the country and base of the government. The dam was the main source of water for Port Sudan, which is home to the country’s principal Red Sea port and working airport, and receives most of the country’s much needed aid-shipments. Rescue attempts have been made, such as evacuation, shelter, medical assistance, infrastructure repair, and emergency hotlines.
