Dear Diary,

Today was the most amazing day of my life! We finally arrived at the Lakshadweep
Islands for our summer vacation. We are here to celebrate my grandparents' 75th
anniversary. It's such a special occasion, and I'm so glad our family decided to make
this trip together.

Today, we explored the island and visited some of the most beautiful beaches I have
ever seen. The sand was as white as snow, and the water was unbelievably clear. In
the evening, we gathered around a bonfire on the beach, and my grandparents
shared stories of their life together.. After spending a wonderful week in
Lakshadweep, we travelled to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The islands are so
different from each other. We visited the Cellular Jail, and it was an amazing
experience to learn about the history and sacrifices made by our freedom fighters.
The islands are home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, and we were lucky to spot
some exotic bird species. One of the highlights of our trip was visiting the Havelock
Island and snorkelling at the world-famous Radhanagar Beach. The water was
unbelievably clear, and the coral reefs were simply mesmerizing.

As our trip comes to an end, I can't help but feel grateful for this incredible
experience. I have learned so much about the beauty of nature and the importance
of family. This trip has brought us closer together and created memories that I will
cherish forever. Tomorrow, we will be heading back home, but a piece of these
islands will always remain in my heart.

Yours, Jasjot Singh Kohli

India is a diverse country with a unique political and administrative structure. It is
important to understand the difference between a state and a union territory. In this
report, we will explore the characteristics and functions of both, highlighting their
similarities and differences

A state in India is a territorial division that has its own elected government and
legislative assembly. States have greater autonomy and legislative power to make
and enforce laws within their jurisdiction. Each state has a Chief Minister who is
elected by the people and is responsible for the administration of the state. States
have their own legislature, consisting of Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs)
and Members of Legislative Council (MLCs) in some states. States have
representation in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Indian Parliament, based
on their population. States often have their own official language(s) and can promote
and preserve their unique cultural heritage.

On the other hand a union territory in India is a territorial division that is directly
governed by the central government. Union territories have a Lieutenant Governor or
Administrator, who is appointed by the President of India and represents the central
government. The central government exercises significant control over the
administration and decision-making process in union territories. Union territories
may or may not have a legislative assembly. Those with a legislature have limited
powers and the central government has the final authority. Union territories do not
have representation in the Rajya Sabha, except for Delhi and Puducherry, which have
special provisions. Union territories may have their own official language(s), but they
are often multilingual due to their diverse populations.
 Tsunamis are massive ocean waves that are primarily caused by undersea
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or other significant underwater disturbances.
These waves can travel across the ocean at high speeds and, when they reach
coastal areas, they can cause extensive damage and loss of life. Let's explore
the impact of tsunamis on islands.
1. Undersea Earthquakes: The most common cause of tsunamis is an undersea
earthquake. When tectonic plates beneath the ocean floor shift and release
enormous amounts of energy, it creates seismic waves that propagate
through the water. These waves form the initial disturbance that triggers a
tsunami.
2. Submarine Landslides: Sometimes, large undersea landslides can occur due to
the movement of sediment or the collapse of a slope. This displacement of a
massive amount of water can generate a tsunami.
3. Volcanic Activity: Volcanic eruptions, particularly those that take place near or
under the ocean, can cause tsunamis. When an eruption occurs, it can displace
a significant volume of water, resulting in a tsunami.

4 Destruction of Infrastructure: Tsunamis can have a devastating impact

on the infrastructure of islands. The powerful force of the waves can
destroy buildings, roads, bridges, and other structures near the coast.
The flooding and subsequent receding of water can cause erosion,
further damaging the coastline and altering the landscape.
1. Loss of Life and Injuries: One of the most tragic consequences of tsunamis is
the loss of life and injuries they can cause. The force of the waves and the
powerful currents can sweep people away, trapping them in debris or causing
drowning. Those who survive may suffer injuries from being thrown against
objects or being caught in the powerful currents.

2. Displacement of People: Tsunamis often result in the displacement of people

living in coastal areas. Entire communities may be forced to evacuate due to
the destruction of their homes and the dangers posed
by subsequent waves or aftershocks. This displacement can lead to long-term
challenges in terms of housing, access to clean water and sanitation, and
healthcare.
3. Environmental Impact: Tsunamis can have significant environmental impacts
on islands. The force of the waves can damage coral reefs, coastal ecosystems,
and habitats for marine life. The flooding may introduce saltwater into
freshwater ecosystems, affecting vegetation and wildlife. It can take years for
these ecosystems to recover from the damage caused by tsunamis.
 4. Economic Consequences: The impact of tsunamis on islands extends to their
economies. Many island communities rely heavily on tourism, and the
destruction of infrastructure and natural attractions can lead to a significant
drop in visitors. Losses in fishing and agriculture, which are vital for many
island economies, can also occur due to the destruction of coastal areas.

5. Recovery and Rebuilding: Recovering from the impact of a tsunami can be a

long and challenging process. Rebuilding infrastructure, restoring services,
and providing support to affected communities require significant resources
and coordination. International aid and support are often necessary to help
islands recover and rebuild their communities.

It is worth noting that the impact of tsunamis can vary depending on factors such as
the magnitude of the earthquake, the distance of the island from the epicenter, the
shape of the coastline, and the preparedness and response measures in place.

In conclusion, tsunamis can have a devastating impact on islands, causing the

destruction of infrastructure, loss of life and injuries, displacement of communities,
environmental damage, economic setbacks, and a long recovery process. It is crucial
for island communities to have effective early warning systems, preparedness plans,
and evacuation measures in place to mitigate the impact of these destructive waves.

Summarised:
Tsunamis can have devastating impacts on islands, including destruction of
infrastructure, loss of life and injuries, displacement of people, and
environmental damage. The force of the waves can damage coral reefs, coastal
ecosystems, and habitats for marine life, and the flooding may introduce
saltwater into freshwater ecosystems, affecting vegetation and wildlife.

Prince Harry, Prince William sat separately

at coronation
As much as the coronation of Charles is about, well, the king, much of the interest was
focused on his sons, William and Harry, as the two brothers reunite. he past few years
have brought to light publicly the complicated relationship between the next heir to
the British throne and his younger brother, referred to as the Spare in the palace
growing up, as Harry recounted in his tell-all memoir earlier this year. 
Harry arrived at Westminster Abbey with his cousins, Princess Eugenie and
Princess Beatrice along with their husbands, Jack Brooksbank and Edoardo
Mapelli Mozzi, respectively. William arrived a few minutes later with Kate and
their children, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.
Harry sat in a row behind William's, on the opposite end.
Prince Harry, Prince Williamexit coronation separately. Look back on their
complicated relationship

Prince William knelt before Charles and

swore his loyalty
The Prince of Wales, who is first in line to the British throne, swore his loyalty to
Charles in a ceremony known as "The Homage of Royal Blood."
William kneeled before his father, placing his hands in between Charles' hands as
he said, "I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you and faith and truth I
will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb. So help me God."
The ceremonious vow took place shortly after Charles' crowning and "The
Homage of The Church of England," which was carried out by the Archbishop of
Canterbury.
Prince George held Charles' robe as a Page
of Honor
William and Kate's oldest son, 9-year-old George served as one of King Charles'
Pages of Honor. Carrying one corner of Charles' gilded robe, he walked in the
procession with the king and queen consort into Westminster Abbey at the outset
of the ceremony and stood behind the King during important moments inside the
church.

Not My King' protestors arrested

Clad in yellow and holding signs proclaiming "Not My King," protestors against
the coronation of Charles were arrested in London.
Graham Smith, the chief executive of Republic, a prominent anti-monarchy group
in the U.K., was arrested along with five others Saturday while unloading signs
reading "Not My King," according to tweets from the group and the Associated
Press.
"They're under arrest, end of (story)," a police officer says in a video tweeted by
the Alliance of European Republican Movements, an organization advocating for
the end of monarchies across Europe. The officer did not say anything further
when the videographers attempted to ask why the protestors were being arrested.

Camilla crowned as queen consort

Camilla was coronated in a shorter and simpler ceremony following Charles'
crowning. Camilla was crowned with Queen Mary's crown, marking the first time
an existing crown was used for the queen consort's coronation.
