The term recreation may be defined as a set of activities that diverts or amuses him after a rigorous work session, by which he rejuvenates his body and mind for the next session of work.

However the mode of recreation has changed a lot over the years. If we look back, Indian emperor has played backgammon by using maid servant as checkers and now backgammon is played even on a folded board.

Various games and sports always found its extreme place as recreation. People have been playing various indoor games or in the ancient history people used to enjoy fighting with a bull. Golf had been a prime recreation all over the Europe for long. Gambling was and has been an extreme recreation for various segments of people over the years. The form may be horse race or online casino. Later on, the immense pressure of earning and high ambition of people have sliced down the time frame for recreation and people have started confined themselves more and more in various indoor games or spending time in clubs.

The nature of recreation varies quiet a lot on the availability and affordability. Like Cancun is the first choice for spring break for a lot of students of US, but an Indian can hardly think of Cancun as a choice for break. Again Cancun can not become a daily recreation. If we talk of daily recreation, then perhaps Television/ newspapers/ magazines play the most important role, where a small comic or a dance program during the dinner can relax the people a lot. Let us take an example a young couple can think of kiss as a recreation, but a mid aged woman can hardly think of such a recreation. The reality is that sex has been always used as a prime recreation for the lower or lower-middle class of people, the proof lies in the number of children they used to give birth in the old ages. In fact, the educated community or even the rich people had various other ways to rejuvinate themselves and the poor had only sex as their option for recreation.

Nevertheless, clubs and such informal institutions have always played a key role of recreation over the ages, where the people can gather not only to play games or gamble but also to exchange views and ideas. What we want to reinsist that every living being needs a recreation even today to relax from their stress and strain and recreation only can add that extra spirit in their lives to make them ready for the next dawn.

Nelson Mandela says, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”, so as we do believe in. The word Education used to sound simple, when life was also simple and people could find harmony between his life and the nature or other people at large. The 21st century has opened communication channel, virtually across the globe and education has become an area, where really sky has become the limit.

Since our birth, we have been habituated in the most traditional methodology of education, which is Instructor Led Training or ILT in brief. A teacher comes to the class and teaches the students directly, where the student can directly interact with the teacher and the teacher has also got the advantage of reading the pulse of the students while teaching through their body languages. But as usual as it is human dependent, the quality of teaching and its effects vary a lot between one teacher to the other.

This is also true that the newly defined term professionalism has made the people eager to achieve educational degree and mainly people even at middle of their career have become keen in higher studies. The fact of life is that neither they have got time to attend regular classes, nor they have have got the patience of studying with the students of different age groups. They also can not afford to losses caused due to human errors of a teacher. So, the other modes of learning have become imperative.

The advantage of usage of modern tools and techniques in education could have been traced with the introduction of Computer Based Education, where the teacher used to present a subject and started providing live demonstration to the students for laboratory based experiments. In reality the audio visual impact of such training has become phenomenal. Students can also play and rewind the show again and again at their own choice for accuracy and this sort of repeatation would hardly annoy the teacher as the teacher had literally undertaken the headache of preparation material once only. Though it started with video, the technology marvels didnt take much time to convert it in compact disks. At a later stage, we have found various software giants like Oracle or Micro Soft have provided many such training materials in the form of compact Disk (CD). The CD based teaching has been more popularly termed as Computer Based Training.

The Internet era has given birth to Web Based Training or online training. The advantage is that the education providers can upload their lessons on the web and aspirants can study their respective lessons at any point of time from any part of the world. The main advantage is that the study materials can be updated at any point of time and also at a much lower cost.

The key advantage is that the updates reach the readers instantaneously.

The only drawback of online education is that the kind of grpahics, which can be used for Computer Based Training, can not be used for online training due to the bandwidth problem of Internet. In CBTs, heavy graphics can be used including any size of videos and audios which substantially occupy a major bandwidth and time while downloading in case of online education. So, it restrains the content developers partially. The good news is that technology marvels and popularity of Internet have increased the reach as well as the speed drastically in the recent days.

Perhaps the best way should be the mix and match of all three different modes of learning, which can make the learning more enjoyable and much more fruitful.

In the recen past, the sea change has been noticed in education, even many traditional universities have grabbed the opportunity of online training.

At the end, one message for the career oriented aspirants. “Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.” - Jim Rohn

Perhaps when Adam had consumed the fruit of the wisdom tree in the Garden of Eden, the fruit started showing its tantrums inside the body to take away the mental peace of human being. We terms this sort of trouble as disease.

Just imagine, even a slight health disorder used to lead to disaster and today people have invented various ways to increase the longevity and have found various survival strategies. People have become aware and have started taking prevention against them.

Once we talk of various treatment methodologies, there has been always a conflict between the old and the new. Like there was a day, when only barks and pulps used to work as the primary ingredients for medicine and today the modern sophisticated laboratories process various ingredients in chemical and other various systems to offer a more effective and harmless medicines.

We must admit such an ever cherished conflict, may be even ego fights have helped to discover much better medicines and therapies for mankind.

Now the world is round and it is found that most of the salient issues rotate back in cyclic fashion. This can be very nicely noticed in dress code or fashion designing. The idea of cyclic process even holds good for medical science also. Ayurved and Qigong, the old age treatment procedures have again come back and many physicians and medical researchers have started working on them vividly to improvise.
