Abstract: Terrorism remains a cardinal threat to national, regional, and international peace and security. It violates the fundamental principles of law, order, human rights and freedom and remains an affront to the Global Charter of the United Nations (UN) and the values and principles enunciated in Africa‟s Constitutive Act of the African Union (AU). Moreover, it presents a grave and direct threat to the territorial integrity, security and stability of states. In this regard, effective counter terrorism strategies remain fundamental tools in curbing the threats and devastating effects of terrorism. In Kenya, the National Police Service (NPS) is one of the key agencies involved in counterterrorism operations. Given emerging trends of terrorist camps and continued attack in Kenya by terrorist elements, it is imperative that the NPS improves the overall direction of its counter terrorism strategy and adopt robust counterterrorism mechanisms in the fight against terrorism..........

Abstract: This Research paper attempts to elaborate the element of Escapism in English Romantic Poetry. The aim of this paper is to justify a strong relation between English Romantic Poetry of 19th century and the tendency of Escapism. Escapism shows a tendency to run away from reality, the responsibilities and routine of real life. Escapist does not feel at ease in the world around him. He tries to escape by unrealistic imaginative activity. A poet escapes in to a world of imagination.

Abstract: One Night at The Call Center, written by Chetan Bhagat, was published in 2005 and is the second novel by the author. In his writings, Chetan Bhagat successfully conveys the modern reality of the average person. The story's six characters, Shyam, Varun, Esha, Priyanka, Radhika and Military Uncle all highlight different problems faced by the Indian Society. They are all discontent with their lives but are afraid to step out of the comfort zone and change their surroundings. This all changes when one night, a mysterious call comes from a divine power, motivating them and helping them to overcome their difficulties. The author subtly points out the ugliness of Indian society and suggests innovative solutions to overcome the problems.
