Who is Ravindranath Tagore?

Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) was an Indian poet, writer, composer, and philosopher, known for reshaping Bengali literature and music. He was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 for his book Gitanjali. Tagore is celebrated for his contributions to poetry, songs, novels, and plays. He also authored India’s national anthem, "Jana Gana Mana."

Smartphones in today's world

At present, everyone has their own smartphone, whether they are young or old. A student who is attached to their smartphones can be easily distracted from doing their study. The physical health of the children is being compromised. Using smartphones longer, resulted in increased lower back, neck, and shoulder pains within youth. This can also lead to headaches. But when we use it in limits it becomes very useful and not harmful in any way.
