Consumerism is a word with two meanings, one, an ideology and the other, a movement to promote rights of consumers. Growing economy, expansion of markets, globalisation, efficient ways of communication and technology gave way to the neo-consumerism. Vastly criticised, it has many advantages to boast upon. The present paper is an effort to explore in detail the meaning of consumerism, its ill effects along with its many good effects. It further tries to explore the recent trends and the way things would turn in the year 2040, after 25 years.

A woman passes through many phases in her life. She is a daughter, sister, wife, and mother. Motherhood is a blessing, a way of life. It permits a woman to express her total self with tender feelings. But life is not fair arithmetic, and motherhood is not a blessing for some women in a patriarchal society. They are under the myth that motherhood is the sphere essentially fated for women. Women are subaltern sexes who are supposed to be reproducers of mankind- considered to be child bearers and rearers. But patriarchy misuses this role as an instrument to subordinate women as a whole.

Metagenomics constitutes the sequence based analysis of the collective microbial genomes (microbiome) in a particular environment. It provides culture independent access to the gene pool of whole microbial community. The variety of laboratory culturing methods when fail to culture the unculturable bacteria, tools of metagenomics are applied to reveal their existence in a given environment. Metagenomics tools deal mainly with the direct isolation of genetic material from a defined ecological habitat (soil or marine) and cloning of the complete genome of the entire microbial population.

Management is the process by which managers create, direct, maintain and operate purposive organizations through systematic, co-ordinate, co-operative human effort.  The term ‘sound management’ is a phrase used to describe a practical situation, plan or control. Generally, sound management relates to management controls and the capable implementation of action. In the absence of sound management, the working of an organization will become random and haphazard in nature. Managing people is not an easy task.
