Dance Centre Cancellation Form: Fill & Download for Free

I’m not sure if this is subtle but to me, the one thing that comes to mind is perhaps the recreational version of what Peter Howell spoke of in his answer i.e. the recreational version of “loud, acoustically hard room”:Now if you are one of those people who enjoys having a night out at the club to do your dancing and drinking, then that’s all very well good for you. The problem I have has to do with the normalisation of the activity as the best and most accessible form of socialising. Popular culture tends to put the nightclub front and centre as a great place to have fun with all the cool music, lighting, fun activities and of course the booze.Unfortunately, loud noises and flashing lights are perhaps the worst kind of sensory input to give to an autistic person. Add to that the workplace-like activity of being able to hear a lot of conversation but not understand a single word of what people say, the constant activity going on with people dancing, rubbing bodies, making love (well to a tame degree) and getting drunk, and basically the unnerving vibe that such a place gives off due to the demography of the people who attend such a place (IMO the jocks, the ditsy folk, et al.).Basically what I’m trying to say is that pop culture today (and heck social media to an extent) always has to have that nightclub setting inserted somewhere because that’s apparently the ‘it thing’ now. And if you didn’t, then you were one of those people that the more jock-ish society deem weird - the geeks, the nerds… someone who wasn’t ‘normal’. And that exclusion also includes the autistic who would definitely shy away from a club.There is at least a greener pasture for autistic people to take if they aren’t a nightclub kind of person - they can at least engage with activities located in a social environment that is a bit more friendly because at least it plays to the ‘obsession’ aspect of autistic people. I am of course talking about conventions like comic-cons, anime conventions, gaming conventions.At least in these social environments, IMO, the number of activities to actually get invested in cancels out the claustrophobia and noise that makes such huge gatherings unbearable.But honestly, conventions like these don’t seem to get that much love in pop culture; maybe in social media but again, the stereotype attached to them is one of the nerds and geeks who are inferior to the jocks and party animals.

A 112 feet tall statue of Lord Shiva at Isha Yoga Centre, TamilnaduLately, as I was running my eyes through a science blog and I stumbled upon an article on CERN, the world-famous nuclear research centre in Switzerland. What made me stop at this particular article is the image, in which a big Shiva Nataraja statue stand firm in front of the CERN building. I was amazed by the same fact that how come an Indian god is related to science. I read the rest of the article. I came to know it was gifted by the Indian government as a goodwill gesture signifying a healthy relationship between them and the CERN and with all respect they display it right in front of the CERN building. I hope you might be knowing the ongoing research done at the CERN on Anti-Matter. Let me explain and if you are into science you would love it.The universe consists of matter, we all are matter. Anti-matter is that which cancels out with the matter. It is based on this particular concept that the CERN has made a particle collider within their underground premises and are experimenting on colliding the subatomic particles at high speed to make antimatter. It is a huge revolutionary project which involves a lot of risks. In case anything went wrong and the antimatter produced comes in touch with the matter, ie. our world, then the whole planet would burst out in a matter of few days. However, it is nothing to worry about, as the CERN has ensured every protective measure to conceal the Anti-matter if produced and see to it that it never get in touch with our planet which is all composed of matter.A Shiva Linga at Hampi, IndiaNow coming to the point, what fascinates me is that the Indian Vedic scriptures hold information about the whole universe which modern science is still immature to find out. The greatest minds of the 20th century from all over the world such as Nikola Tesla, Bohr, Heisenberg and Carl Sagan did admit the fact that most of their findings or works are based on the Vedic texts in India. The findings in those texts are far more advanced than modern science. For instance, consider the image of the dancing Shiva Nataraja. Shiva Nataraja is Lord Shiva in his Nataraja avatar, the cosmic dancer who with his dancing feet creates and then destroys the world for the next phase to begin. The cosmic dance or the Nataraja Nritham of Lord Shiva Nataraja purely is related to the Anti-matter research done at CERN. It has the creative and destructive power. All his various dance postures symbolise the creation, preservation and destruction of the universe.Thousands of years before the Nataraja Shiva was portrayed as the cosmic dancer and everything CERN and our modern scientists are trying to figure out about the Subatomic particles and Antimatter can be studied in this very rhythmic, ecstatic cosmic dance of Shiva. It is his dance of bliss and out of it, the matter is formed.Fritjof Capra, a physicist, rightly said in his book “The Tao of Physics”-“For the modern physicists, then, Shiva’s dance is the dance of subatomic matter.”The Nataraja dance postureThe figure of Nataraja is enclosed in a ring of fire which represents the continuous creation and destruction of the universe. The mass, space and time are enclosed within this cosmic ring of fire. On his upper right hand, he held the Damru [his favourite instrument in the shape of hourglass]. It represents creation and time. However, his lower right hand is lifted up in Abhaya Mudra, which is his message to all, whoever follows the path of truth and righteousness will be blessed. His upper left-hand holds fire, the symbol of destruction. His lower left hand is raised near his chest with his palms facing down. It symbolises the mastery of meditation and attained enlightenment. His right leg is placed on a demon named Apasmara, which signifies the end of ignorance.Being restless and amazed by the science behind the Lord Nataraja, I made a visit to the Thillai Nataraja Temple at Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu where Lord Nataraja is worshipped and is one among the “Pancha Bhootha Sthalam” or the five sacred Shiva temples representing the five elements of life. Pancha Bhoothams comprises of Air, Water, Sky, Fire and Earth. This particular temple at Chidambaram stands for Sky or Sky consciousness. The rest of the Pancha Bhootha temples are-the Ekambareswarar temple at Kanchipuram [Earth]the Jambukeswarar temple at Thiruvanaikaval, in Tiruchirapalli [Water]the Annamalaiyar Temple at Tiruvannamalai [Fire]the Kalahasti temple at Srikalahasthi [Air/Wind]If you are a science lover and a spiritual seeker I highly recommend a visit to the Thillai Nataraja Temple at Chidambaram when you happen to visit India. You will get to know more about the universe and most importantly YOURSELF.

A school is a place providing learning environment for the children. Schools are meant to provide life values along with academic learning.Childhood is the period that teaches the most valuable life lessons. It shapes the whole life of a person.Schools were regarded as temples but now parents fear while sending their wards to school and rightly so.Case of child abuse in schools have been increasing alarmingly. This needs to be stopped.This is the recent news of KolkataClass 2 student allegedly sexually assaulted by dance teacher for a yearAccused allegedly threatened he would bury her alive if she told familySeveral protesting parents demanded action, accused school of negligenceThis is a story of December 2017Manoj, the staff member of MP Birla Foundation Higher Secondary School, had allegedly sexually abused a three-year-old child twice -- in June and September.The parents had lodged a complaint with the police in September, but the arrest was made only after parents of other students held demonstrations following the rape of a four-year-old in G D Birla Centre for Education.Read some more casesA 14-year-old girl student of Jadavpur Sammilita Balika Vidyalaya, Kolkata was molested by a youth in the toilet, who had entered the school premises after jumping a wall.A hearing impaired student studying in a reputed Prabhadevi school for the deaf and aphasic was molested by the school's principal, aged 42 along with a teacher, aged 37.An eight years old girl from Maxfort School, Rohini, Delhi was molested by a teacher for a second time in April this year, the last time being in August last year within the school premises.According to a survey 51% of girls wished they were boy so that they could escape sexual abuse.But the stats show the complete picture which many tend to play down. Child sexual abuse is not limited to girls only.Look at these data:939 (42%) out of 2211 children had faced at least one form of sexual abuse at some point in time. 39 per cent of the girls faced sexual abuse, compared to 48 per cent of the boys.Another significant study at the pan Indian level has been the National Study on Child Abuse (2007). This study, which is the largest of its kind, covered 13 states with a sample size of 12447 children, 2324 young adults and 2449 stakeholders.53.18 % children in the family environment not going to school reported facing sexual abuse.49.92% children in schools reported facing sexual abuse.61.61% children at work (Shop, factory or other places) reported facing sexual abuse.54.51% children on the streets reported facing sexual abuse.47.08 % children in institutional care reported facing sexual abuse.20.90% of all children were subjected to severe forms of sexual abuse that included sexual assault, making the child fondle private parts, making the child exhibit private body parts and being photographed in the nude.50% abusers are persons known to the child or in a position of trust and responsibility.Every 2nd child is being exposed to one or the other form of sexual abuse and every 5th child faces critical forms of it. They all are in need of protection.Break the silence. Stop this evil act. Stop killing childhood. Stop killing innocence. Stop child abuse.The scene of child sexual abuse (CSA) in IndiaProtests At Kolkata School Over Sexual Assault On Class 2 Girl By Teacher
