The Significance Of Grammar In Effective Communication

If we talk about communication, then we all know that it is an essential human activity. None of us can merely live in solitariness, and if we want to live in a community, we, in any case, have to interact with others. In order to talk to others, we have to communicate. In short, the communication comprises of exchanging of ideas and other details in between one and more people.

When children grow, it becomes essential to teach them the proper way to communicate to express themselves adequately. It also helps in the future because they would need to face the outside world. Hence, we can say that for that grammar is essential too, not only for one but many reasons.

Why Must You Use Proper Grammar?

The reasons for which you must use perfect grammar in your content are as follows:

  • Helps you to develop good commutation skills.
  • Use of proper grammar is very advantageous when you apply for a job.
  • If you pass a message with poor grammar, then it can create misunderstandings.
  • Allows you to create an excellent professional reputation.

When it comes to written communication, then morphology plays an important role, and a small mistake of syntax can lead to a bad outcome. This is why it is highly advised to use a free grammar checker and recheck your work for at least once.

Here are some of the tips which reflect the significance of grammar.

  •    Enhance the Skill of Expression

Communication is the ability which everyone can learn. We must learn the best way to communicate so we can express ourselves in the best way possible. At a young age, we learn this skill from the people we live with as we imitate their actions. The importance of syntax is not essence for one language but every language. In our writing too, Grammar helps us to express ourselves. So, if you want to master strong communication skills, then you must use proper rules of language in your written and oral communication.

  •    Improves Accuracy

One of the benefits that syntax provides us is that it enhances the efficiency of our writing. Grammar develops a habit in the learners’ mind, and when it is mixed with the rhetoric and logic expertise, it acclimatizes the learner to the accuracy of language and eventually to the accuracy in thinking. The syntax enables the people to develop a habit of examining as well as thinking things in a more precise and logical manner. So, it states that if your writing contained perfect punctuation, the more accuracy would be there.

  •    Proper Syntax Saves Time in Business

One of the fundamental techniques for management in the workplace is to communicate effectively. If the message which is circulating in the office has proper use of syntax in it, then everyone will most probably understand it without any misunderstanding. Proper grammar lessens up the confusion when a worker performs any task, be it organizing a report or sending a message to any other management personnel. When a message would be delivered correctly, it ultimately reduces the wastage of time as there will be no need for any translation.

  •    It Is Crucial in The Digital World

Most of the people think that good use of grammar is not essential for the online article writer or bloggers as they informally create content and many times use some terms to develop sarcasm and humor. But the main thing people overlook is that they use a friendly style to enjoy the benefit of liberal freedom.

But if you are a blogger, then you must realize that the people who read your content notice your mistakes and it leaves a negative impression. Although they can understand what you are trying to say in reality, they will not like to read your content or revisit the website if you will mistake stupid errors. Hence, if you check what you are submitting from a grammar checker, it will help you in various ways.

  •    Assists in High Competitiveness

Proper use of syntax enhances campaign ads. When the promotional material is written correctly with no grammatical error, then they surely will get much more attention from people. We all are aware of the fact that if firms generate advertisements without mistakes, it ultimately will result in the popularity of the business.

If you are using a grammar checker and correcting all your errors, you still must proofread your content before sending them to any third person.

क्या उदयपुर की इमारतें सूरत जैसे अग्निकांड का इंतज़ार कर रही हैं?

पिछले दिनों सूरत में लापरवाही और गैर ज़िम्मेदारी के चलते महाभयंकर अग्नि काण्ड हुआ जिसके चलते 22 बच्चो कि जान चली गयी। “पर ये तो सूरत में हुआ न! उदयपुर में क्या हुआ? कुछ नहीं! तो ध्यान देने की क्या ज़रूरत! नहीं?”

फिर अभी पिछले हफ्ते शहर में एम बी हॉस्पिटल रोड स्थित अलंकार प्लाज़ा बिल्डिंग में किराए पर संचालित मेडिसेंटर लैब के प्रथम तल पर गुरूवार तड़के 6 बजे आग लग गयी। आग का कारण शार्ट- सर्किट बताया गया है। करीब एक घंटे का समय और 7 दमकल गाड़ियां लगीं  आग पर पूरी तरह काबू पाने में। सुबह लैब बंद होने की वजह से जनहानी की कोई खबर नहीं है। पास ही पेट्रोल पंप होने के कारण दमकल विभाग ने एहतियात के तौर पर चार अतिरिक्त गाड़ियों का इंतज़ाम करवाया। शायद अकल्पनीय है कि अगर आग का पेट्रोल पंप की तरफ बढ़ना होता तो कितना बड़ा हादसा हो सकता था!

सूरत के भीषण अग्निकांड के बाद प्रशासन द्वारा सुध संभालते- संभालते भी शहर में हादसा हो ही गया। इस हादसे से पर तो बिना किसी हताहतों के काबू पा लिया गया पर क्या हर बार ऐसा होगा? उसकी ज़िम्मेदारी कौन लेगा? जब इस आग कि गर्मी प्रशासन तक पहुंची तब प्रशासन कि नींद खुली और पिछले दिनों इसी सुध के चलते शहर में शुक्रवार को शास्त्री सर्किल स्थित  विशाल मेगा मार्ट और शनिवार को सुखाड़िया सर्किल स्तिथ बिग बाज़ार को फायर फाइटिंग सिस्टम न होने और कुछ और भी सुरक्षा कारणों के चलते सीज़ कर लिया गया। अग्निशमन अधिकारी जलज घसिया का कहना है कि दोनों इमारतों के संचालकों को तीन बार नोटिस जारी किया गया था जिनके चलते उचित कदम उठाना तो दूर, उनका जवाब तक नहीं दिया गया। और वही हुआ 338 में से उन 282 नोटिस का भी ,जो नगर निगम ने शहर भर में भवनों का निरीक्षण  करके भेजे थे। शोध करके यह भी सामने आया कि 155 इमारतें हैं, जो नगर विकास प्रन्यास के अधीन आती हैं और जिनमें फायर फाइटिंग सिस्टम का अभाव है। इनकी सूची यूआईटी को भेज दी गयी थी परन्तु उनके द्वारा किसी भी प्रकार कि कार्यवाही नहीं की गयी है।

प्रशासन कि काबिलियत पर किसी को शक नहीं पर 2019 में जहाँ तकनीक आसमान छू रही है, क्या हम सिर्फ सेफ्टी सिस्टम जैसी आवश्यकताओं की वजह से सैकड़ो जानें दाव पर लगा सकते हैं ? हम जानते हैं  कि बिग बाज़ार और विशाल मेगा मार्ट जैसे नामचीन ब्रांड और इनकी ईमारतों में इतना सामान और भीड़ होती है एक बार अगर अग्निकांड जैसा कभी कुछ हो भी जाए तो जनहानि आग से ज़्यादा भगदड़ से होगी। और अगर नामचीन इमारतों का यह हाल है तो बाकी ईमारतों से हम क्या उम्मीद रखें? अब देखना यह है कि अब जो यह नींद खुली है, जो कार्यवाही चली है, जो फाइल बनी है, यह कितने दिन तक चलता है और इसके फलस्वरूप उदयपुर कितना “स्मार्ट” बनता है।

एक योद्धा, एक प्रशंसक, एक लोक कवि और एक ऐतिहासिक पत्र – Maharana Pratap

मेवाड़ के शिरोमणि शासक महाराणा प्रताप, बीकानेर के सामंत पृथ्वीराज राठौड़  और राजस्थान के सुप्रसिद्ध कवि कन्हैया लाल सेठिया: इन तीनों शख्सियतों की ऐतिहासिक पृष्ठभूमि के केंद्र में है एक पत्र; एक ऐसा दस्तावेज़ जिसने मेवाड़ के इतिहास का रुख बदल कर रख दिया| इस अहम् पत्र के पीछे छिपी है एक रोचक कहानी जो मेवाड़ के गौरवशाली नायक प्रताप के साहसिक जीवन में आये उतार चढ़ावों, टूटते आत्मविश्वास और उभरते शौर्य का भली भांति परिचय देती  है | जब भारतवर्ष के रजवाड़ों के अधिकतर शासक मुग़ल सम्राट अकबर से संधि को ही अपनी नियति समझ चुके थे, तब मेवाड़ के स्वाभिमानी के राजा महाराणा प्रताप ही थे जिन्होंने शहंशाह-ए –हिंद  से लोहा लेने की ठान ली थी| अकबर के सभी संधि प्रस्ताव ख़ारिज करते हुए, प्रताप  ने निडर व्यक्तित्व का परिचय दिया और अंततः,युद्ध निश्चित था|

18 जून 1576 को, हल्दीघाटी में अकबर की विशालकाय सेना का सामना करने चट्टान सा साहस लिए खड़ी थी, प्रताप और उनके विश्वासपात्र योद्धाओं की छोटी सी टुकड़ी| अद्वितीय बहादुरी का परिचय देते हुए प्रताप की सेना अंत तक शत्रु को चुनौती देती रही| अकबर की सेना  महाराणा को बंदी बनाने में कामयाब नहीं हो पाई और  प्रताप का वफ़ादार घोड़ा चेतक, प्रताप को एक सुरक्षित स्थान पर पहुंचाने की कोशिश में, गंभीर रूप से ज़ख़्मी होने के कारण शहीद हो गया| युद्ध के बाद, महलों का आलीशान जीवन छोड़कर प्रताप अपने परिवार के साथ जंगलों में भटक रहे थे और छापामार युद्ध पद्दति की तैयारी में मसरूफ़ थे| जीवन अभावों में कट रहा था; तभी एक दिन उनके पुत्र के हाथ से घास की रोटी छीन कर एक जंगली बिल्ला ले गया| मेवाड़ के राजकुमार की ऐसी दुर्दशा देख कर, प्रताप का दिल भर आया और उन्होंने बेबस होकर, अकबर को संधि पत्र लिखकर मुग़लों की प्रभुता स्वीकार करने की ठानी| पत्र पाकर अकबर अचंभित हो गया क्योंकि उसे विश्वास नहीं हुआ कि  प्रताप जैसा शूरवीर योद्धा भी हार मान सकता है|

राजस्थान के लोकप्रिय कवि कन्हैया लाल सेठिया ने  अकबर की इस मनोस्थिति का उम्दा वर्णन अपनी कविता “पीथल और पाथल” में किया है:

“के आज हिमालय पिघल गयो

के आज हुयो सूरज शीतल

के आज शेष रो सर डोल्यो

आ सोच हुयो सम्राट विकल”

Maharana Pratap
Creation By: Anurag Mehta

प्रताप के अनगिनत प्रशंसकों में से एक था, बीकानेर का सामंत, पृथ्वीराज राठौड़  (पीथल) जो प्रताप का अनन्य उपासक था और अकबर के सामने प्रताप की तारीफ़ों के पुल बाँध दिया करता था| अकबर ने दूत को भेजकर पृथ्वीराज को बुलवाया और वह पत्र दिखाया| भाट कह कर उसका मखौल उड़ाते हुए अकबर ने पूछा कि, कहाँ गया वो लहू जो  राजपूती रगों में बहता था; क्या हुआ महाराणा के उस पराक्रम का जो किसी के आगे झुकना नहीं जानता था| वो पत्र पाकर पीथल ने पाथल (प्रताप) को एक ‘पाती’ लिखी; एक ऐसी पाती जिसने महाराणा के हारे हुए उत्साह को ललकारा और उन्हें समझाया कि  दुनिया की हर असंभव चीज़ संभव हो सकती है, लेकिन महाराणा कभी हार मान ले, यह किसी भी हालत में मुमकिन नहीं हो सकता| सेठिया जी लिखते हैं:

“म्हें आज सुणी है‚ नाहरियो, स्याला रै सागै सोवैलो।
म्हें आज सुणी है‚ सूरजड़ो‚ बादल री ओटाँ खोवैलो
म्हें आज सुणी है, चातकड़ो धरती रो पाणी पीवेलो
म्हें आज सुणी है हाथीड़ो कूकर री जून्या जीवेलो |”

इस पत्र को पढ़कर प्रताप को एहसास हो गया कि वे भावनाओं में बहकर अपने दृढ़ संकल्प की बलि देने को तैयार हो गए थे| पत्र पढ़कर वे एक नयी ऊर्जा और जूनून से भर गए और अपने संधि पत्र वाले कदम के लिए खुदको कायर कहकर धिक्कारा| इस प्रकार एक शासक के बुझे हुए हृदय में फिर से आत्मविश्वास की ज्वाला जलाई एक प्रशंसक ने, और एक लोक कवि ने इस घटना को कविता की पंक्तियों में गुथकर हमेशा के लिए अमरत्व का जामा पहना दिया| इस तरह, ये तीन व्यक्ति इतिहास के दोराहों पर मिले और एक सुनहरे अध्याय को माज़ी के पन्नों पर दर्ज़ करके जुदा हो गए|

Do you know about this medical startup from Udaipur which saves older patients from Trauma?

Udaipur has always topped the list of ‘the best places to visit’ due to its hotel and tourism industry worldwide, but this city is also home to numerous budding entrepreneurs. And this time, the flag has been held up by Dr. Tanushree Jain.

Dr. Tanushree Jain, a graduate from Manipal University, Karnataka, is currently working as a Chief Executive Officer of Think Out Of The Box (TOOTB) Healthtech Private Limited. Her startup TOOTB Healthcare Private Limited has developed a self-aspirating syringe, which aims at reducing the trauma caused to the patients when they are administered injections by the newly-appointed doctors, nurses, and clinicians. It also got support from the Indian Institute of Management Udaipur Incubation Center (IIMU).

TOOTB focuses on developing innovative products for the medical field and the startup is related to designing disposable syringes. The syringes developed are used to administer drugs through intravenous and intramuscular injection for the treatment of diseases.

The thought of inventing this device struck her mind while she was giving an injection to one of her elderly patients, she was not able to perform Injection-aspiration procedure with one hand and this became the reason for her to develop such a tool. She developed 3d printed fully functional prototype and one thing lead to another.

She believes that the medical field needs a lot of innovations and we should not adjust with already existing old techniques. We should keep innovating on a regular basis which shall provide not only ease to the doctors but also less trauma to the patients during the treatment.

According to the doctor, the main supporter is IIM Udaipur Incubation center team and its mentor – Deepak Joshi. His mentorship and support guided her at every step and helped her to build the startup. She learned marketing skills from Ashish S. Galande who still guides her at every step.
