The dichotomy of ‘good lie’ and ‘bad lie’

“….Was it the time I realised that adults were not
all they seemed to be,
They talked of love and preached of love,
But did not act so lovingly…."

As Markus Natten had beautifully pointed out in the above lines, adults find their place in the long rolls of hypocrites. They talk of love and preach of love, but these are only confined to words. One of the most cardinal preachings of the adults is on an essentially contested topic of ‘truth’. They always ask us to speak the truth and punish us for not doing so. However, does this really mean that adults are the epitome of righteousness and truth to an extent that they only speak the truth? Well, obviously, the most rational answer is ‘no’. All aren’t Mahatma Gandhi no? Then what backs the essence of truthfulness or righteousness imparted by the adults to the younger generation? How is it legitimized? 

Family is considered to be the lowest unit of social interaction. It’s the lowest social organization. If it is the miniature version of the society, the family will be, ipso facto, communitarian in spirit. As always, some liberal values are to be compromised in a communitarian atmosphere. Consequently, the size of the families started reducing and today, we can find people living alone preserving their sacrosanct individuality. The more the size of the family, the more communitarian it is and the more liberty, rights and independence are compromised. Family hence becomes a sphere of power- where power is feloniously exercised by the elders and the youngest ones and mostly women being mute recipients of the communitarian power thus exercised. All power relations are marked by hierarchy and family thus becomes a hierarchy of the elders over the younger ones and sometimes that of men over women.  The hierarchy of men over women in the family was challenged by the second wave feminists with a powerful slogan of ‘the personal is the political’. But what can the younger ones do? Simply being mute victims of the authoritarian, totalitarian and communitarian decision-making process with the least representation of themselves even on matters regarding their life, liberty and property. 

Coming back to the notion of truth and lie, the adult’s lie is often legitimized as a ‘good lie’. A ‘good lie’ is something that can be told, preached and are legally plausible. As opposed to this concept is the ‘bad lie’ that cannot be told, cannot be preached and invites punishment. But what makes a lie a ‘good lie’ or a ‘bad lie’? As far as I’ve observed, there can be two ways to determine what’s a ‘good lie’ and what’s a ‘bad lie’. Firstly, the lie told by the adults comes under the banner of a ‘good lie’ whereas the same lie told by the younger ones become a ‘bad lie’. What is to be noted in this case is age is the criteria that determine the nature of your lie.  Secondly, the lie which the children are made to say on behalf of the adults also comes under the category of a ‘good lie’. However, if the same lie is told by the child without the directions of the ‘high command’, then it is criticized to be a ‘bad lie’. 

Another interesting concept about this distinction is that the concept is not equally applicable to all situations. What all constitute a ‘good lie’ and what constitutes a ‘bad lie’ are determined from time to time by the adults. Also, a ‘good lie’ in my case needn’t be a ‘good lie’ in your case. Forget it. It’s you and me. A ‘good lie’ in my case today may not be a ‘good lie’ tomorrow and a ‘good lie’ in my case may not be so in my brother’s case. What is to be extrapolated from the situation is that the concept of ‘good lie’ and ‘bad lie’ are flexible- flexible to the overpowering whims and fancies of the adults and obviously, to the disadvantage of the children. 
In toto, what makes a lie qualified to be a ‘good lie’ simply depends upon the person who says it or the person by whose supervision it is said. This concept changes from time to time and place to place and even from person to person and families to families. This is quite natural, owing to the communitarian structure of the family. In the modern era, for social institutions like families to survive, it is necessary to democratize the structure. Internal decision-making processes shall be democratized and sacrosanct rights are to be protected with reasonable justifications. Also, any encroachment in the realm of such rights shall not be tolerated and the burden of justification shall be placed upon the adults. May the liberal ideas liberally sprinkle upon the social institution of the family.

HOW TO MAKES YOUR HOME SAFE DURING COVID-19

The government released a new set of guidelines this week to combat COVID-19 transmission, emphasising the importance of masks, distance, hygiene, and well-ventilated spaces. It has been stressed that “ventilation can decrease the risk of transmission” from an infected individual to others.

It was recommended that outdoor air be introduced into workplaces, houses, and wider public spaces, as well as that steps be taken to increase ventilation in these spaces.

It was also recommended that fans, open windows and doors, even partially open windows, be strategically placed to introduce outdoor air and increase indoor air quality. It also said that adding cross ventilation and exhaust fans is helpful in curtailing fans running if the windows and doors are locked, it said.

To generate the optimal air flow for optimum protection from indoor infection, add an exhaust fan or convert a pedestal fan into an exhaust fan by turning it to face outdoors, according to the guidelines.

COVID-19 pandemic and prolonged stay-at-home phenomenon, according to Shalini Chandrashekar, principal designer and co-founder, Taliesyn- Design & Architecture, have revised the value of comfortable dwellings.

Optimizing the use of natural sunlight

By orienting the openings toward the northeast (N-E), an open breezeway can be created within the built volume. Orienting the kitchen in the southeast (S-E) will reward the mundane morning chores with the soothing morning sunshine, and locating the bedroom in the southwest (S-W) can pull in the warmth of the afternoon golden sun, all such conscious considerations can come in handy when designing a well-ventilated home, she advised.

Furthermore, strategically placing the openings while keeping the sun path and wind direction in mind lowers the operational costs of mechanical temperature regulation and indoor lighting, allowing the architecture to take on a more elevated spatial identity, she adds.

Incorporating skylights

In India, people prefer to keep their windows closed to keep insects out and preserve privacy. Openings with screens or jaalis can solve this problem by allowing fresh air in while maintaining protection and privacy.

Windows with buck mesh and sheer curtains inside are positioned disgonally to allow for instant cross-ventilation in the room. Because of the heat strength coming from those directions, large glass walls on the south and west are typically closed.

“It’s best to ensure that the prevailing wind direction of the site/city is taken into account and the fenestrations are placed in accordance with them to maximize the air flow,” Meena Murthy Kakkar, Design Head and Partner, Envisage, says.

Keeping the house dry

For proper ventilation and hygiene, it is important to keep the house dry. To keep the dampness out, create a dedicated wet utility area, which is a semi-covered utility room for washing and drying. Powerful exhausts in the kitchen and toilets, as well as easy-to-open windows, are a must if the position allows it. To keep the kitchen dry, place it in the sunniest part of the house.

Segregating wet and dry areas

If you have a balcony in a shady corner or a house without a balcony, invest in a dryer to prevent a dark and musty odour inside. Separate the dry and wet areas of your bathroom’s bathing enclosures with a partition. This also aids in preventing moisture from entering your quarters. Invest in high-capacity exhaust fans.

Arun K.R., senior architect at Brick&Bolt says, “We usually take care to provide sufficient and proper air circulation by having larger windows. Since morning sunlight is so beneficail, openings to the east help.”

RBI TRANSFERS RS99,122 CRORE SURPLUS TO CENTRAL GOVERNMENT

According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the central government will receive a surplus of Rs 99,122 crore.

The decision was made at the RBI’s Central Board of Directors’ 589th meeting on May 21, 2021.

“With the change in the Reserve Bank’s accounting year to April-March (earlier July-June), the Board discussed the working of the Reserve Bank of India during the transition period of nine months (July 2020-March 2021) and approved the Annual Report and accounts of the Reserve Bank for the transition period. The Board also approved the transfer of Rs 99,122 crore as surplus to the Central Government for the accounting period of nine months ended March 31, 2021 (July 2020-March 2021),” RBI said.

The Reserve Bank of India transferred only 44% of its surplus to the government last year, totaling Rs 57,128 crore. Prior to last year, this was likewise the lowest surplus transfer in the previous seven years.

In 2019, the Reserve Bank of India transferred a surplus of Rs 1,23,414 crore to the government.

Every year, as the manager of government finances, the RBI distributes a dividend to the government from its surplus earnings to assist with the government’s finances. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) was established in 1934 and operates under the Reserve Bank of India Act of 1934. The “Allocation of Surplus funds” clause of Chapter 4 of the Act demands that any profits earned by the RBI from its operations be remitted to the Centre.

According to Section 47 of the RBI Act, “after making provision for bad and doubtful debts, depreciation in assets, contributions to staff and superannuation funds 2 [and for all other matters for which provision is to be made by or under this Act or which’ are usually provided for by bankers, the balance of the profits shall be paid to the Central Government.”

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON AIRLINES

India’s civil aviation sector is in severe difficulty once more, having encountered an air pocket just as it appeared to be ready to take off after a tumultuous year.

Things began to improve, and pre-pandemic levels of business appeared to be on the horizon, but just as the government announced that it would consider allowing airlines to operate at full capacity if passenger numbers exceeded 3.5 lakh per day three times in a month, the number began to decline.

As the second wave of the pandemic raced across the country, notably in key air traffic hubs such as Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru, the passenger count never exceeded 3 lakh in March, and in April, the number began to decline even further, in tandem with escalating COVID-19 cases.

The number of passengers dropped from 2.75 lakh in early April to slightly over 1 lakh by the month’s conclusion. According to ICF’s data analysis, the number of active COVID-19 instances in India increased by 394 percent while traffic decreased by half. Airlines were further harmed because not all flights were cancelled at the same time. Even while traffic was dropping at a considerably quicker rate, the daily flight count fell only 35%, putting further strain on the carriers’ budget.

Who shrunk the most while who held up?

GoAir, which is preparing for an IPO, and AirAsia India, which is controlled by Tata-AirAsia Bhd, were the first to react to the shifting market. From 201 at the beginning of the month, GoAir’s departures dropped by 62% to 77 on April 30. AirAsia’s headcount has dropped from 161 to 55 in the last month.

IndiGo, India’s largest carrier in terms of fleet and domestic market share, shrank by only 28% on April 30, flying 883 flights. According to ICF data, the airlines concluded the month with 31,516 departures, which was more than the entire competition combined, or 52 percent of total domestic departures in the country in April.

Air India, the country’s national carrier, declined the least among major airlines, cutting its operations by only 11%, while Alliance Air, a subsidiary, cut a fourth of its operations by the end of April. Trujet, situated in Hyderabad, has also shrunk by 11%. Trujet and Alliance Air both have a significant presence in RCS-UDAN, and viability gap funding would help to mitigate the effects.

Between the first and last days of April, SpiceJet and Vistara both shrank by 47 percent and 46 percent, respectively.

Where was the impact felt?

While Mumbai-Delhi remained the most popular flight route in April, with 1656 departures, it was also the most impacted, with daily flights dropping from 77 on the first day of the month to only 34 by the end of the month. Flights from Delhi to Bengaluru, Srinagar, Kolkata, and Patna rounded out the top five routes.

As standards for RT-PCR=negative findings were reinstated across states, leisure routes were the hardest hurt. The destinations with the greatest reduction in leisure tourism were Port Blair, Goa, and Srinagar.

With only 50 flights on April 30, Goa saw a 68 percent decline in traffic. On April 1, there were 156 flights to Goa from all throughout the country. A few sectors vanished entirely from the airmap. Flights to Goa from Hubli, Jaipur, Lucknow, Nagpur, Kannur, Amritsar, Pune, and Ahmedabad were all cancelled, with the most significant impact coming from Delhi, where only seven flights were available instead of the usual 40.

Port Blair, which has long maintained a tight inbound visitor policy, reported a 56 percent drop in traffic. Direct flights from Mumbai and Delhi were cancelled, and the most popular route from Chennai saw over half of its flights cancelled.

Tail Note

May has been much more difficult than April. For the first time since August 2020, passenger traffic fell below 1 lakh passengers per day. The number of flights has also gone below 1,000. This represents less than 30% of departures and fewer than 15% of traffic prior to COVID-19. The government of India opened up air traffic with a capacity ceiling of 33%, and a year later, we are back to where we were a year ago!

“With domestic demand decreased to a fourth of pre-pandemic levels, it is difficult for airlines to locate routes that will allow them to satisfy the variable cost of operations,” says Piyush Bansal, Operations Lead and ISTAT Certified Appraiser at ICF. Long-term survival necessitates continued reductions in fixed and semi-fixed costs, which is difficult but not impossible.

With IndiGo’s board of directors approving QIP fundraising and GoAir filing a DRHP, the two airlines have devised a strategy to raise extra capital. While AirAsia India has reduced its service, Vistara is growing! TATA’s assistance for each of these airlines will be determined over time, but it continues to cast doubt on SpiceJet’s ability to exist and recover from the crisis.

We all have seen the evil Mother-in-Law and the ‘bechari’ (Helpless) Daughter-in-Law stories since our childhood. With our mothers and grandmothers we all have seen Mihir dying innumerable times. But to our surprise, he was always found alive. Women were always portrayed as the enemies of each other. And Men, Men of the house had nothing to do except contribute to their family drama. (They still lived in giant bungalow, where did they get money for its maintenance?)

India’s first longest daily soap was ‘Hum Log’ which was terminated after 154 episodes; It was also the first daily soap to be aired in 1984. We had great daily soaps like ‘Son Pari’, ‘Malgudi Days’, ‘Karishma ka Karishma’, ‘Sarabhi vs. Sarabhai’ and many more. But then arrived Ekta Kapoor with her shows like ‘Kyuki Saas bhi Kabhi bahu thi’ in 2000 and after that the scenario of Indian daily soaps changed completely.

Every show presented the rich joint family and the indifferences the family members had. Every female actor was decked up with jewelry from head to toe. Amid all these cliche, arrived ‘Sasural Genda Phool’, a show which broke many stereotypes of Indian television.

Unlike rich families, this show presented a middle class family. It did not have an evil Mother-in-Laws or jealous Sister-in-Laws, instead it presented the bond of a joint family and the beauty of various relationships. This show introduced us to a romantic story of a rich girl Suhana (Ragini Khanna) married to a middle-class boy Ishaan (Jay Soni). A typical love story is plotted between Suhaana & Ishaan to which many married couples relate to. Ishaan is a caring husband. Suhana falls in an unexpected love with Ishaan after so many years of their marriage. Apart from Ishaan’s loving nature, what makes Suhaana fall for him is his big joint family which Suhaana lacks in her past life. Being a single child of a single parent, she was unaware of family’s love & affection. Also, Women are not tortured to wear heavy jewelry the whole day.

It also aimed towards breaking the stereotypes of Indian society who always portrayed the evil side of In-Laws relationship with their Daughter-in-Laws. It showed how a father (Ambarnath Kashyap) chose his Daughter-in-Law Shailaja (Badi maa) over his son. It deals with the trauma of a rape-child (Deepak) and his mother (Radha bua). While every other show was busy portraying ‘Woman is a woman’s worst enemy’, this show brings out the different essence of this incomplete phrase which is ‘A Woman is a woman’s best friend’.

It presented a real image of the Indian households i.e., financial issues, everyone contributing their pay in the household, Women working together in the kitchen, small fights with the neighbors, Husband-Wife fights, and many more.

Here is the picture of its full cast:

It is also having a comedy element in it which you can enjoy when you feel stressed. It shows how the family can choose to stay together in every difficult times. Instead of pulling the relationships down it aimed towards building them up together. Isn’t it a show worth watching? It indeed is.

So if your mother and grandmother are still looking for an answer to ‘Yeh Rishta kya Kehlata hai’ (What is this relationship known as), give them a relief by diverting them to this show.

SPUTNIK V COVID-19 VACCINE- MANUFACTURING IN KARNATAKA SOON

In the face of a vaccination shortage, Karnataka will house manufacturing plants for Covaxin and Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccines.

While Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin manufacturing facility in Malur, Kolar district, is under construction, Shilpa Medicare has signed a three-year definitive agreement with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (DRL) through its wholly-owned subsidiary Shilpa Biologicals Pvt. Ltd. (SBPL), for the production and supply of the Russia-made Sputnik V vaccine from its integrated biologics R&D-cum-manufacturing centre in Dharwad.

By the end of August, the Kolar vaccine manufacturing facility, according to state Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar, will be able to produce four to five crore doses each month.

Sudhakar claimed he attended a video conference with Bharat Biotech founder Dr Krishna Ella, his daughter Dr Jala Ella, and the rest of the team on May 17 in Bengaluru. Sudhakar said, “Dr Ella has assured me that their facility at Malur in Kolar will be able to produce one crore vaccines by June-end. By July-end it will be two to three crores, and their target by August-end is four crore to five crore vaccine doses.”

Dr. Krishna Ella and the directors of Bharat Biotech have also informed him that vaccination doses will be delivered to Karnataka as soon as possible, according to the minister. Sudhakar stated that he had requested a rollout timeline from them.

Meanwhile, SBPL said in a regulatory filing that it expects to produce 50 million doses of the dual vector Sputnik V in the first 12 months of commercial production.

On May 14, DRL soft-launched the imported COVID-19 vaccine Sputnik V. The vaccination is priced at Rs 948 per dosage, plus a 5% GST (retail price of Rs 995.40).

DRL, according to Shilpa Medicare, will help SBPL transfer technologies. SBPL will be in charge of manufacturing, while DRL will be in charge of distributing and promoting the vaccine doses throughout its marketing regions, according to the agreement.

In the near future, Shilpa Medicare stated, the businesses are looking into manufacturing Sputnik Light, a single-dose version of the Sputnik V vaccine.

Inoculations of the new coronavirus vaccines have been administered to nearly 1.13 crore people in Karnataka thus far. Both the first and second doses are included in this figure. However, due to a scarcity of dosages, the immunisation campaign for adults aged 18 to 44 has been halted.

India is experiencing a second wave of COVID-19 infection, and quick mass vaccination is being viewed as a viable approach to stop the pandemic from spreading further.

LTA VOUCHER SCHEME WOULD BE TAXED

The government announced various relief measures for paid taxpayers during the first wave of COVID-19 in 2020. The ability to claim a tax exemption on their Leave Travel Allowance (LTA) balance was one of them.

In most cases, taxpayers can claim a tax benefit on LTA for a vacation they took anywhere in India. Taxpayers, on the other hand, were unable to travel due to the pandemic and occasional lockdowns. They may be required to pay tax on the LTA component of their salaries in such instances. The government announced an LTA cash voucher programme to help salaried taxpayers avoid this dilemma. This scheme has been notified on May 5,2021.

What is the LTA cash voucher scheme?

Those with an LTA component in their wage can save tax on taxes by spending a “determined amount” on particular goods without having to travel under the LTA cash voucher programme, which is in effect for FY 2021-21.

Let’s take a closer look at how this system works. The’sepcified expense’ should have been incurred by the taxpayer or a member of his or her family. It should have been used to buy goods and services having a GST rate of at least 12 percent. Between October 12, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the transaction should have been done. Furthermore, the exemption cannot exceed Rs 36,000 per person or one-third of the’specified expenditure,’ whichever is smaller. Payment for the costs should have been made to a GST-registered firm via electronic methods, with a ‘GST tax invoice’ available.

LTA can usually be claimed as exempt twice in a four-year period, with the current period running from 2018 to 2021. Using the LTA plan would entitle you to one of the four trips in the four-year period. As a result, taxpayers can only use this option once during the four-year period between 2018 and 2021.

How can one claim this exemption?

Employers are required by law to subtract TDS from your wage before paying you. TDS would have been withheld from your salary income for FY 2020-21 by your employer. Because the LTA voucher programme was not announced at the time they were needed to deduct TDS for FY 2020-21, several employers were unable to accept it. If you haven’t been able to take advantage of the LTA plan through your company, you can do so while completing your income tax return. Make sure you complete all of the requirements and properly report the LTA exemption you wish to claim on your income tax return. You should also keep all supporting documents, such as the tax invoice and payment evidence. You will be eligible to claim a refund of TDS deducted on the LTA amount if you utilise this scheme while completing your return (as per the eligibility criterion specified above).

Most employers would have already deducted TDS from your LTA balance and paid it to you as salary in FY 2020-21, or permitted you to carry the LTA balance forward to the next financial year for filing a claim. Also, it will not be qualified for this programme under the new tax framework.

Provided you purchased a cellphone, an air conditioner, or a refrigerator during the designated time, you may be eligible to claim your LTA as exempt if you meet all of the conditions given above, as all of these items are subject to a GST rate of 12% or more.

How did Covid-19 affect the women employment?

A Study by Azim Premji University’s senior research fellow Rosa Abraham, associate professor Amit Basole and assistant professor Surbhi Kesar.

Since the beginning of this pandemic, several companies are facing loss. Some of the companies and small scale industries have even terminated their productions. Even the largest of the Global economies are hit severely by this pandemic.

To solve this economic crises companies have been performing lay-outs. People who are no more required are getting laid out and losing their jobs. But what is interesting to see in this time is how this virus has affected the gender neutrality not only in India but globally.

Both the men and the women continue to lose their jobs in this national lockdown. But it seems that this pandemic has more adversely affected the jobs of women than men. Women account for about 39% of the global employment and 54% of the overall job losses. Globally the rate of women losing their jobs is 1.8 times more than that of the men. In India, there were 7 times more women who lost their jobs than men. But what is more striking is unlikeliness of women to return to the jobs is 11 times higher compared to men.

The lifting of lockdown restrictions was associated with a return to work but the recovery was more muted for women. Prior to the pandemic, about 70% of working age men were employed. By August – September 2020, 88% of them remained employed or returned to work. By contrast, of 10% of working age women who were employed before the pandemic, only 53% remained employed or returned to work by August – September 2020.

While there was a high job loss seen in the organized sector, the job loss wasn’t seen in the unorganized sector. Highly educated women were more vulnerable to lose their jobs. Education had its negative impact on the employment of women. ‘It is possible that relatively more educated women are able to withdraw from the workforce in face of uncertain conditions such as the lockdown, while this option might not be available to less educated women’, A research paper ‘Down and Out? The Gendered Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on India’s Labour Market’ presented in its observation. It also suggested that women did not have typical ‘fallback’ options in the terms of employment.

Some of the reasons are as follows:

  • Married women were less likely to return to work than married men.
  • Women from large households followed the same unlikeliness.
  • The social norms were again revoked due to the pandemic which resulted in this inequality.
  • The unappreciated household burden plays a vital role in the same.

A study showed that the difference created in the gender might take more than 135 years to recover. Women need to stand up for themselves. Husbands need to share the household burden of their wives. There can be simple steps which we can take to improve the condition of women in our country because as our Former Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru said, ‘The growth of the nation can be determined by seeing the condition of its women’.

Life Savers

When you can’t praise them for what they do, then you can’t criticize them too..

Tired of hearing death news? Exhausted by listening to the news of Covid-19 cases? And the answer is YES! But where is the solution? No one knows except the super power above us. There are lakhs of people dying every day because of Covid-19 and there are a billion people who die out of starvation. There are people who die out of mental stress. People find life difficult without their loved ones, people move into depression, people hate life. Will this situation come to an end? If yes then when? If no then what is the solution? And we’ve got no answer! But there are people who sacrifice their lives to save their fellow humans. Have you ever thought how a doctor feels when the patient he treated dies? They try hard to save a life just because they came to a profession which is to serve people. How will the nurse feels when all her sacrifices and nursing fail at the end? They do have heart feelings and emotions. Just because they are doctors and nurses it doesn’t mean that their hearts are made of stone. Like a family they treat you with ease and like a friend they accompany you when your family and friends wants you to be in isolation. They give their life to save you even after knowing the cruelty of this virus, just because they value your life. It takes at least a week for them to come out of one death of a patient who is under their concern and when people die in thousands and lakhs just think of them. Even though they put all those aside and they move forward to treat another life. Have you ever asked a nurse or a doctor whether he/she had her food? But they do when they visit you in your wards. And that is what makes them life savers. Just because they smile at you it doesn’t mean that they are happy. They do have family and loved ones who are facing the same situation. And they undergo more than what we face. And the least we can do to them now is stop blaming them. We need to understand their situation too and they skip their meals and forget to sleep just to save one life. We don’t know how many of the criticizers now can leave their family and treat a stranger. Let us stop criticizing the noble people and let us encourage them, thank them and love them for their noble works. Let us lend our love to keep up their spirit. And when you can’t do this you have got no right to criticize them.

DO NOT TAKE CITIZENS OF INDIA FOR GRANTED…!!!

A message from a frustrated Indian to every politician of the country

Being hit the worst by the second wave of the pandemic, Indians find it difficult on who to blame. Is the Government responsible and if Yes then which?

We all know about the situation of India and the frontline workers of India. Oxygen has become a new stock currency in India. In economy of class X we learnt that when the situation worsens, the community work becomes essential for development from the current situation. But how will those people understand this concept who have never been to school. Here I am talking about our politicians. But wait there are many who are graduates and post-graduates from the best universities around the world. Yes they are and still I think they might have skipped the economy class.

While the people of this country are dying, what politicians focus on is how to clear their image and win votes for the next elections. I won’t specifically mention a particular political party here because none of them have proved their potential in these time of pandemic. If Shiv Sena had been potential virus wouldn’t have affected the economic hub of India, had congress been potential corona wouldn’t be prevalent in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh etc., there wouldn’t be oxygen shortage in Delhi if Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was vigil towards the second wave, Not every second person would test positive in Bengal if Trinamool Congress (TMC) paid heed to the warnings of second wave in February, Had BJP been a little focused on building the Health Infrastructure rather than Central Vista there wouldn’t be bodies floating in the holy rivers of India. Following the list are CPI, DMK and many other regional parties who failed their netizens while playing their dirty politics.

Still when we see them addressing the public, all we can see is spreading hatred against the other political party. Really? Where do you get so many guts from? We need to stop flattering these corrupt politicians who only care about their own image. We as Indians need to stand up against the destruction being done to our democratic country. We need to raise our voice to teach the real meaning of democracy to those deaf sitting in the Parliament.

Democracy means, ‘of the people, by the people and to the people’. They need to realize this meaning because these politicians have really spoiled the infrastructure of our country for their well-being. They can’t drive people because it is people’s right to drive them. This is Democracy and not Dictatorship. Stop tweeting 6 tweets a day and start working for those who elected you.

They need to see what it feels like to beg for oxygen and lose our loved one just because they were busy protecting their image and spreading hatred. Every Politician must understand there are 140 crore citizens in India, they don’t even know the consequences if all these people stand together against them at once. Do not take the citizens of India for granted, I repeat DO NOT TAKE CITIZENS OF INDIA FOR GRANTED.

We as Indians stand united against any wrong that is being done towards our country.

DR REDDY’S SPUTNIK V VACCINE; TIE-UP WITH APOLLO HOSPITALS

On May 17, Dr. Reddy’s said that 8-9 states have contacted the company about purchasing the Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are among the states that have reached out to them, according to the company.

The imported doses of Russia’s Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine were priced at Rs 948 plus 5% GST, or Rs 995.40 per dose, according to Dr Reddy’s. It stated that the price for both government and private channels will remain the same.

The company plans to partner with hospitals in the metro area that can store vaccines at 18 degrees Celsius.

Last week, Dr Reddy’s received 1.5 lakh Sputnik first dose doses, and the company said it received a second consignment of 60,000 second dose doses over the weekend.

“We have a supply commitment of 36 million doses from RDIF in the next two months,” said M V Ramana, CEO of Branded Formulations at Dr Reddy’s.

Dr. Reddy’s is attempting to obtain further doses from RDIF, according to Raman. RDIF has agreed to supply 250 million Sputnik V first and second doses to the company. Russia will have between 15-20% of the initial supplies.

The vaccine prices will come down once local manufacturers start supplying, which is expected in the next two to three months, according to Dr. Reddy’s.

“They have to absorb the technology from RDIF, have to get approvals from the regulators and then scale up manufacturing,” said Sauri Gudlavalleti- Head of Research and Development. “We are working with the regulator to bring appropriate guidance, on whether the other Indian suppliers with whom RDIF signed supply agreement will have to do clinical trials or not,: Gudlavalleti added.

DCGI has given Hetero, which has a partnership with RDIF, permission to conduct Phase-3 trials of the Sputnik V vaccine.

Gudlavalleti stated that the company plans to approach the Indian drug regulator in the coming weeks to request emergency use authorization for the Sputnik Light single-dose vaccine.

Tie-up with Apollo Hospitals

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories and Apollo Hospitals declared a collaboration on Monday to conduct a trial launch of the Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine in India.

Dr. Reddy’s will rely on the Apollo Hospitals network around the country for vaccine storage, transportation, administration, and monitoring.

The Sputnik V vaccine would cost between Rs 1,200 and Rs 1,250 per dose, according to Apollo Hospitals.

According to Dr. Reddy’s, the initial rollout will begin on May 17 in Hyderabad and will be expanded to Visakhapatnam and other metro cities on May 18.

In addition to Apollo, Dr. Reddy’s has a partnership with IHH Healthcare’s Contitental Hospitals.

“WHY DO WE DESERVE THIS?” A 10-YEAR-OLD’S PLEA

Hundreds of netizens have watched a video of a 10-year-old Gaza girl crying in front of a house that has been reduced to ruins and wondering, “Why do we deserve this?” The video depicts the brutality of the Israel-Palestine conflict and how children are among those who suffer the most as a result of the violence.

Nadine Abdel-Taif, the girl, spoke to The Middle East Eye on May 15 about the devastation caused by Israeli air strikes. “I’m always sick. I can’t do anything. I’m only 10… what do you expect me to do? Fix it?? “she inquired, referring to the house that had been reduced to ruins.

“I can’t even deal with this anymore. I just want to be a doctor or anything to help my people. But I can’t. I’m just a kid,” Nadine said, as she broke down.

“All of this when I see, I literally cry everyday,” she said in a shaky voice. “Why do we deserve this? What did we do for this?” Nadine asked, adding that her family says that “they (Israel) just hate us. They just don’t like us because we are Muslims.”

The girl said, pointing to the children who were present around her, “You see all of the kids around me. They’re just kids. Why would you just send a missile to kill them?” she questioned.

Israel’s armed offensive, which has been described as the most extreme since 2014, has destroyed hundreds of homes in Palestine, killed at least 149 people, including 41 children, and injured over 1,000 people.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu justified the attack as an act of self-defense against “terrorism” committed by Gaza-based Hamas militants.

The dispute has now reached the seventh day. Nine Israelis have also died as a result of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad group’s attacks from Gaza. Israel’s offensive, according to Netanyahu, would last “as long as necessary.” “We will make them pay dearly,” he said.

COVID-19 CHANGE THE WAY WE WOULD TRAVEL?

In the face of an unrelenting pandemic that continues to ravage the world, it doesn’t take a fortune teller to predict that urban mobility will change dramatically.

Concerns about hygiene and social distance are at an all-time high, especially in India’s densely populated metropolises. The concept of shared mobility and public transportation has been especially tarnished by the second wave. Uber and Ola, for example, are fighting back, with the former offering 9,000 free online medical consultations to drivers and their families. Uber also announced a decision to vaccinate 1,50,000 of its drivers in the next six months. Even automobile brands like Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors have extended their warranty and service packages for newly purchased vehicles, ensuring that car ownership does not feel like a burden during lockdowns.

The need for personal transportation is obviously greater than it has ever been. However, economic uncertainty, as it was last year, is providing the same need, especially at the entry level, preventing buyers from securing funds for such a large purchase. Given that social distancing and passenger health will remain associated for the near future, the rise in fuel costs is also acting as a significant deterrent for first-time car buyers, a customer segment that should logically grow in size. So, how do both consumers and automakers break the impasse?

The ideal thing for brands, especially entry-level carmakers like Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai, is to offer customers more innovative financing options. But it isn’t just carmakers who must change their ways. Used vehicle portals, taxi aggregators, and electric two-wheeler startups, among others, all have the potential to offer novel solutions. For car companies, this begins with appealing subscription models that have the same advantages as private car ownership without the associated overall costs.

Leasing

Leasing is not a new phenomenon, even in India, where car ownership is seen as a sign of upward mobility. Since most car buyers find the idea of making a down payment too overwhelming in these financially unstable times, leasing allows them to simply rent to a car for a set period of time. Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai, two of India’s top-selling car brands, offer attractive leasing options, especially for entry-level models like the Grand i10 Nios and Santro. Maruti Suzuki has partnered with Orix Auto Infrastructure Services India for a subscription programme that is gaining traction in the Delhi NCR and Bengaluru areas. There’s no down payment, no registration, insurance, or annual maintenance fees; all you have to pay is a monthly sum that’s equal to or less than your EMI costs.

Used Cars

The used car market remains the most disorganised of the bunch, with proper certification and websites providing legitimate price estimates previously serving as roadblocks. According to Statists, the size of the used car market in India in 2020 was greater than the size of the new car market (as reported by Hindustan Times). The market, which has increased by 50% year over year, is expected to continue even after we ride out the second wave and reopen. Greater clarity and better funding options, on the other hand, may help the segment.

Shared Mobility

With cab aggregators like Uber and Ola taking strong steps to alleviate our collective fear of entering a cab, it’s only natural that they build thoroughly sanitized compartments, separating not only the driver and the rider, but also any other co-passengers who might be sharing the journey. When the medical system isn’t overburdened, the aggregator may also display the driver’s vaccine credentials, as well as the outcomes and dates of regularly administered Covid-19 studies. A simple temperature check won’t suffice.

The rise of Electric Scooter

Electric two-wheeler startups have the ideal opportunity to revolutionize urban freight mobility, with the e-commerce industry projected to expand exponentially. Electric scooters and cycles are well positioned to replace the traditional modes of mobility used to make deliveries in geofenced urban confines, where long distances are not a major concern.

According to P&S Intelligence, the new Bharat VI norms have increased the prices of petrol-powered two-wheelers by 7-15 percent, further incentivizing e-commerce brands to adopt more sustainable modes of transportation. Since low-cost scooters are also low-speed, swappable battery options would be favored over charging batteries.

The growth of the electric two-wheeler market would help more than just e-commerce. According to a PRNewswire survey, demand for e-scooters and motorcycles in Tier I, II, and III cities is growing at the fastest rate in Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh. Ather Energy, a local brand, has already started manufacturing scooters in its new 4,000-square-foot factory in Hosur.

Though India’s public transportation infrastructure varies by city, a survey conducted by The Energy and Research Institute (TERI) India found that 35% of respondents are likely to switch modes of transportation after Covid19. Although this is good news for an ailing automotive industry that is expected to rise in the single digits in the future, it could exacerbate traffic and pollution in most Tier I and II cities. Although we don’t know how widely non-motorized modes of transportation would be adopted, it’s critical that cyclists and walkers be considered for short distances, as they could be much more preferable to public transport.

AN INTERVIEW WITH NOVELIST-FILMMAKER TRISHA DAS

Trisha Das, a filmmaker and bestselling author, has just published Misters Kuru: A Return to Mahabharata (HarperCollins India priced Rs 350), her latest work of feminist mythological fiction.

Ms Draupadi Kuru: A Novel is a sequel to her book. After the Pandavas, the racy, sassy roller-coaster ride full of action, adventure, romance, and comedy is set in modern-day Kalyug in Delhi as a kind of continuation of the Mahabharata.

Das has previously written and directed over 40 documentaries in her filmmaking career, winning an Indian National Film Award (2005) and being named the International Artist of the Year at the UGA (2003).

She discusses the significance of reimagining and rewriting myths from a female viewpoint, her early influences from Indian mythology, and the use of humour in mythology.

The Kuru novels are a kind of sequel to the Mahabharat, rather than a retelling. Thousands of years after the conclusion of the original Mahabharata, the storey of Ms Draupadi Kuru picks up in modern times. Draupadi and her companions descend from heaven to Delhi. The Pandava brothers accompany their women to Delhi in The Misters Kuru.

When asked the question “How were you motivated to write a feminist retelling of the Mahabharata in a contemporary setting?” She replied saying, “My motivation was simple- I wanted to give these characters another shot at their lives, at reshaping their destinies. So many of them were forced into living lives they didn’t want to- being stripped of their kingdom, exiles, et cetera. I though it would be fun to see what kind of lives they would choose, given the choice.”

A mythological woman apparently only has power over men if she has a small waist and lotus eyes, or if she is their mother.

It’s a pain. Women are celebrated for their sacrifices or their appearance rather than their accomplishments. Any form of resistance to being punished or attempt at self-determination is severely punished, and women are constantly punished for their menfolk’s dumb decisions. Ask any attractive woman wanting to take a bath in the woods. Consent is practically non-existent.

She said once, “My maternal grandfather started my fascination with mythology as a young child. He was religious, but in an inclusive way, and he told the best stories from both the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. I read various versions and interpretations of the Mahabharata growing up and, as an adult, delved into the Ganguli and Debroy translations, alternate versions like Bheel Mahabharata and mythological fiction. I used to watch the TV series every Sunday on Doordarshan and point out mistakes, which everyone in my house found thoroughly annoying.”

Feminism is a relatively new phenomenon, but female dominance has always existed in some form or another. Even when the official narrative did not endorse it, women have always been strong. They worked in the shadows or exercised influence by dressing up as men, being saints, or a thousand other ways to get around the machine. Feminists are now working to shift the narrative and modify- same result, different approach.

THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN

Hollowness: that I understand. I’m starting to believe that there isn’t anything you can do to fix it. The holes in your life are permanent. You have to grow around them, like tree roots around concrete; you mold yourself through the gaps.

-Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train

This is for all the girls who have just experienced a breakup. I just want you to understand that it was not your fault, so stop blaming yourself.

Breakups can be a shambles. Breakups can be excruciating. People also use memes to mask their pain and turn it into a source of amusement. They are aware, however, that it will not be easy. The agony you’re experiencing is indescribable, and no one could possibly comprehend it. You’re stuck in a rut, unsure of what to do next. Is it time to move on or not? Was he going to return or not? Is it better if I call or if he calls? Is he going through the same thing I am right now?

All of these questions have the same answer: ‘It doesn’t matter.’

What matters is how you’re keeping things together. Is it fair to be so harsh on yourself? You weren’t solely to blame. Perhaps you should set aside some time for yourself. What if he doesn’t return? So, what’s the point? You’ve got your friends, family, and, most importantly, you’ve got yourself. “But I just want him,” I know you’re wondering right now. You don’t want him, that’s the truth. YOU DON’T WANT HIM, BELIEVE ME. He abandoned you in this mess. He said he wouldn’t, but he did anyway. He deceived you. It’s time for you to do the same. He walked away without looking back, and it’s time for you to do the same. It’s past time for you to forgive yourself.

This is just like the girl on the train. Rachel, who recently experienced a breakup, is unable to accept the harsh reality. She also believes Tom loves her and that he will return. Everyone assumes she’s just a drunk girl who’s lost her job and has a broken heart.

Is anybody a fan of suspense novels? If you answered yes, you should probably read this at least once. It’s not great, but it’s not horrible either. You won’t be able to figure out who the killer is.

Apart from that, there is a lot of lying in this storey. All is deceiving one another. Many secrets are kept locked in the recesses of their minds. Loved ones are kept in the dark about secrets. However, with all of the lying, I began to doubt the confidence. Who could be trusted by whom? Rachel had faith in Tom. Scott had faith in Rachel. Anna had faith in Tom. Megan had faith in Kamal Abdic. Despite this, they all ended up rejecting each other. Okay, well, Rachel trusted herself in the end.

That’s one of the things I loved about this book: she wanted to see the whole picture and trust her intuition over Tom’s words. This is a tale about three women who were once strong but had become vulnerable as a result of their circumstances. Don’t let it happen to you as well. Have faith in yourself. Fight for your own interests. Because you are the best, girl.

“RAMADAN”

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting(sawm), prayer, reflection and community. A commemoration of Muhammad’s first revelation,the annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam and lasts twenty-nine to thirty days, from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next.


Fasting from dawn to sunset is fard (obligatory) for all adult Muslims who are not acutely or chronically ill, travelling, elderly, breastfeeding, diabetic, or menstruating.The predawn meal is referred to as suhur, and the nightly feast that breaks the fast is called iftar.

Although fatwas have been issued declaring that Muslims who live in regions with a midnight sun or polar night should follow the timetable of Mecca,it is common practice to follow the timetable of the closest country in which night can be distinguished from day.


The spiritual rewards (thawab) of fasting are believed to be multiplied during Ramadan. Muslims refrain not only from food and drink, but also tobacco products, sexual relations, and sinful behavior,devoting themselves instead to salat (prayer) and recitation of the Quran.

History

Muslims hold that all scripture was revealed during Ramadan, the scrolls of Abraham, Torah, Psalms, Gospel, and Quran having been handed down on the first, sixth, twelfth, thirteenth (in some sources, eighteenth) and twenty-fourth Ramadans, respectively. Muhammed is said to have received his first quranic revelation on Laylat al-Qadr, one of five odd-numbered nights that fall during the last ten days of Ramadan.

Although Muslims were first commanded to fast in the second year of Hijra (624 CE) they believe that the practice of fasting is not in fact an innovation of monotheism but rather has always been necessary for believers to attain taqwa (the fear of God).They point to the fact that the pre-Islamic pagans of Mecca fasted on the tenth day of Muharram to expiate sin and avoid drought. Philip Jenkins argues that the observance of Ramadan fasting grew out of “the strict Lenten discipline of the Syrian Churches,” a postulation corroborated by other scholars, including theologian Paul-Gordon Chandler,but disputed by some Muslim academics.

RELATOS SALVAJES

Name : Wild Tales/ Relatos Salvajes (2014)
Director Damián Szifron
Cast: Ricardo Darín, Oscar Martínez, Leonardo
Sbaraglia, Érica Rivas
Genre: Anthology, Drama
Language: Spanish (Argentina)
Streaming Platform: Amazon Prime Video

Wild Tales is a collection of six stories set in modern Argentina and linked by a popular theme of vengeance. The film is a character study of seemingly ordinary people, much like you and me, who are forced to the breaking point by extraordinary circumstances. It is the past that haunts them at times, and external stimulation that pricks them on the head at other times that drives them insane. The film does a fantastic job of introducing the protagonists, setting conflict, and, most importantly, eliciting empathy – making you care for the characters and their circumstances, which is a common complaint in an anthology since there is less time to set up the characters and make them relatable. Despite the fact that the segments are set in Argentina, the conflicts that the characters face are similar – they are dealing with socioeconomic, political, and class problems.

The film lives up to its title, with each successive segment becoming more ferocious, culminating in a mayhem with more tonal changes than your average Korean film. What’s the best part? It’s successful! The segments are more about the characters than the storey, demonstrating the heights to which they can rise given human tendencies. While they can be extreme at times, you understand why they are acting the way they are, and you would have acted similarly if you were in their shoes.

This leads us to perhaps Wild Tales’ most effective technique: including the viewer in the storytelling. You don’t get 4, but you do get 2+2. The director does not spoon-feed the plot and instead leaves it to the viewer to link the dots, which allows for an enjoyable experience.

There’s nothing quite like the rush you get when you’re able to link the dots and feel intelligent. The film is also very approachable, with plenty to offer both general audiences and film buffs.

Armed with PPE kits, Sisters protecting their netizens.

An article to pay tribute to all the frontline nurses on this INTERNATIONAL NURSES DAY.

When we have always celebrated the Raksha-Bandhan tying the Rakhi on our brother’s hand, we need to understand that in this pandemic it is not just the brothers who are protecting us but the Sisters who wear their armor as PPE kits and are battling against the virus. Today is the day we pay tribute to them, Yes today is International Nurses Day.

International Nurses Day is an annual event celebrated on 12th May every year. It marks the birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale, an English nurse, a social reformer, and a statistician who founded the key pillars of modern nursing. It is commemorated every year by the International Council of Nurses (ICN) who also decides the theme of the event. The ICN’s key pillars are Professional practice, Regulation, and Socio-economic welfare. The theme for International Nurses Day 2021 is ‘Nurses: A Voice to Lead- A vision for future healthcare’.

While declaring the theme for IND 2021 on 15 October 2020, ICN President, Annette Kennedy said, ‘This global COVID-19 pandemic has shown the world the important role that nurses play in keeping people healthy across the lifespan, While there has been significant disruption to healthcare, there has also been significant innovation that has improved access to care. In 2021, we will focus on the changes to and innovations in nursing and how this will ultimately shape the future of healthcare.’

According to the WHO, ‘nurses account for more than half of all the world’s health workers, yet there is an urgent shortage of nurses worldwide with 5.9 million (2020) more nurses still needed, especially in low and middle-income countries.’ As reported by INC on 31 December 2020, more than 1.6 million healthcare workers have been infected by the virus while battling against it.

Though being at the forefront since the pandemic started, many people fail to appreciate the services of a nurse which leads to the inhumane behavior towards the nurse. They forget that if doctors are able to save lives, it is because of the equal assistance given by the nurses. Nurses are the hospitality of the hospital. Let us not forget their selfless devotion and dedication to saving lives. Here is a video of frontline workers raising the spirits of patients:

This day comes of great significance in the middle of the pandemic. It is a great opportunity for us to pay a tribute to these heroes and express our gratitude for their noble work. Let’s laud them for their service towards humanity; ‘Respect and Gratitude…!!!’

Let’s conclude this article with the following lines from Muskurayega India:

Phir se sadakon pe sab naachenge (The roads will again be filled with dances)
Patri pe pahiye bhaagenge (The wheels will bustle again on the tracks)
Goonjege khelon ke maidaan (The Playgrounds will feel lively again)
Baatenge sab khushiyan (Everyone will share the happiness)
Gham bhi hum milkar baatenge (and will also share the griefs)
Phir se hogi sapno ki udaan (The dreams will catch a flight again)

What is Plasma?

Plasma is the clear, straw-colored liquid portion of blood that remains after red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and other cellular components are removed. It is the single largest component of human blood, comprising about 55 percent, and contains water, salts, enzymes, antibodies and other proteins.


• Composed of 90% water, plasma is a transporting medium for cells and a variety of substances vital to the human body.

• Plasma carries out a variety of functions in the body, including clotting blood, fighting diseases and other critical functions.

• Source plasma is plasma that is collected from healthy, voluntary donors through a process called plasmapheresis and is used exclusively for further manufacturing into final therapies (fractionation). Source plasma donors may be compensated for their time and effort.

• Recovered plasma is collected through whole blood donation in which plasma is separated from its cellular components. Recovered plasma may be used for fractionation. 

Importance of Donation

• The plasma protein therapeutics industry supports volunteerism donation in all of its forms. Source plasma donation and blood donation are critically important activities that contribute to saving lives. 


• Source plasma and recovered plasma are used to produce therapies that treat people with rare, chronic diseases and disorders such as primary immunodeficiency, hemophilia and a genetic lung disease, as well as in the treatment of trauma, burns and shock.


• Plasma donation requires a commitment both in the amount of time for each donation and frequency of donation. 


• Typically it takes between one and three hours to donate source plasma, and plasma can be donated twice within a seven day period. 

Couple

Faced all the struggle
Together as a Couple
When something else Muddle
You move things Subtle
Even when problems Juggle
You bring each other Snuggle
Life is like a Puzzle
And you solve it with a Chuckle!.

“Love is like two people holding a rubber band on either side, Even if one leaves it will hurt the other one the most” This is a known phrase and it hits hard. There is nothing in this world greater than love and when it comes to marriage and family the couple in the family holds the most responsibilities. And when something turns up and when troubles come they should make important decisions in family. And this needs mutual understanding to solve everything that comes their way. Love is the base to live a beautiful life. Being a couple is not about one’s dreams and achievements to succeed but it’s the both of them. To lead a peaceful life the fundamental qualification is love and understanding each other. This comes with life’s experience and the things you face together.

A TIMELINE OF INDIA’S MOST PROMINENT AGRARIAN PROTESTS

The four-month-old farmer’s protests in India took a violent turn on January 26, 2021, when farmers stormed the streets of Delhi, demanding the abolition of the three new farm bills. Farmers were greeted with tear gas, water guns, and abuse as they rode their tractors onto the roads. These agrarian demonstrations, on the other hand, are not the first in India’s history. For a large portion of India’s independent existence, farmers have been protesting. The majority of protests arose as a result of promises of economic growth eluding farmers and general disillusionment with a government that is unresponsive to their plight. “Large-scale protests have been taking place against a background of widespread and growing unrest in India’s vast countryside, often rooted in the discontent caused by agricultural stagnation and unemployment,” writes Alf Gunvald Nilsen, professor of sociology at the University of Pretoria. Here is a timeline of some of India’s most significant and large-scale agrarian protests.

1988, BOAT CLUB PROTESTS, DELHI

The protests of 1988, in which Mahendra Singh Tikait, a Jat farmer from Uttar Pradesh and the chief of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), stormed the Boat Club Lawns of Delhi with a charter of demands, are recounted by writer Rakesh Sinha in The Indian Express. This sit-in drew over 5 lakh farmers who demanded a rise in sugarcane prices as well as loan forgiveness. They were within hearing distance of the legislature and made their voices known just before the winter session began. It was one of the most significant farmer demonstrations in the 1980s and 1990s.

2017, MANDSAUR PROTESTS, MADHYA PRADESH

Five farmers were shot dead in Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, in June 2017, while seeking higher MSPs for the onion crop and grains, as well as loan waivers for farmers who were experiencing firsthand the negative effects of the 2016 demonetization on the rural economy, according to an article in India Today.

TAMIL NADU FARMERS PROTESTS, 2017

Farmers from Tamil Nadu staged a dharna in Delhi in 2017, led by P Ayyakannu. They demanded a 40,000-rupee drought relief package from the federal government, as well as an increase in retired farmers’ pensions. When protesting, they performed grotesque acts such as staging suicides and wearing skulls around their necks. They said that these skulls belonged to farmers who committed suicide because they couldn’t cope with their overwhelming debt. Sunaina Kumar, a journalist, dubbed it the “skull protest,” which was at the time the “longest continuous demonstration of nonviolent demonstrations.” Farmers with half of their faces shaved as a form of protest are depicted in iconic photographs from these demonstrations.

Will the Tamil Nadu farmers' protest in Delhi go beyond theatrics to  translate to action?

THE 2018, KISAN LONG MARCH, MUMBAI

In 2018, 50,000 farmers marched 180 kilometres barefoot from Nashik to Mumbai in favour of drought relief, better minimum support prices (MSPs), and crop insurance. This peaceful protest came to an end after the Maharashtra government gave these farmers assurances, which, according to a Scroll paper, have yet to be fulfilled.

Kisan Long March: Over 30,000 farmers reach Mumbai's Azad Maidan; gherao  Maharashtra Assembly

Why do Indian farmers feel compelled to use violent tactics in protests that began peacefully?
Rakesh Tikait, the son of the aforementioned Mahendra Singh Tikait, is leading the latest farmer protests that have ravaged the country for the past six months. This may reflect generations of farmers’ resentment of India’s deep-rooted agrarian crisis and the negative consequences it has had on the agricultural sector and our Indian farmers. “India’s agrarian crisis—a crisis that has resulted in over 3,00,000 suicides among farmers and farmworkers in the last twenty years,” writes Nilsen.

“To say that protesting farmers are misled or confused is to evade critical issues,” writes Sudha Narayanan, Associate Professor at the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research. She emphasises the importance of farmers being included in discussions about the implementation of new agricultural laws, as well as the role they play in Indian democracy through demonstrations, which are an important way to keep a democratically elected government in check.

After all that you have been doing for me
I could give you in return is this alone
The guardian angel of our family
Thank you for what you are..

SELF HEALING CONCRETE

Bacterial concrete or Self Healing concrete fills up the cracks developed in structures by the help of bacterial reaction in the concrete after hardening. In modern days , the use of technology has taken the standards of construction to a new high level. Different types of procedures, methods and materials are used to attain very good , sustainable and economic concrete construction but due to human mistakes , incorrect handling and unskilled labors an efficient building is hard to sustain its designed life. Many problems like weathering , cracks, leaks and bending etc,. arises after the construction . To overcome this types of problems, many remedial procedures are undertaken before and after the construction.

The common problem found in buildings is cracks. Crack may be due to many reasons. Some reasons are listed below;

  • Concrete expands and shrinks due to temperature differences
  • Settlement of structure
  • Due to heavy load applied
  • Due to loss of water from concrete surface shrinkage occurs
  • Insufficient vibration at the time of laying the concrete
  • Improper cover provided during concreting
  • High water cement ratio to make the concrete workable
  • Due to corrosion of reinforcement steel
  • Many mixtures with rapid setting and strength gain performance have an increased shrinkage potential

This common problem of cracking in building has many remedies before and after the crack. One of the remedial process is Bacterial Concrete or Self Healing Concrete. The process of self healing of cracks or self filling up of cracks by the help of bacterial reaction in the concrete after hardening is known as Self Healing Concrete. It can be observed that small cracks that occur in a structure of width in the range of 0.05 to 0.1mm gets completely sealed in repetitive dry and wet cycles. The mechanism of this autogenously healing is the width of range 0.05-0.1 mm act as capillary and the water particles seep through the cracks. These water particles hydrate non or partially reacted cement and the cement expands, which in turn fill the crack. But when the cracks are of greater width , need of other remedial work is required. One possible technique is currently being investigated and developed was based on application of mineral producing bacteria. These types of bacteria can be in dormant cell and be viable for over 200 years under dry conditions. These bacteria acts as a catalyst in the cracks healing process.

Various types of Bacteria used in concrete

There are various types of bacteria were used in bacterial concrete construction are;

  • Bacillus pasteurizing
  • Bacillus sphaericus
  • Escherichia coli
  • Bacillus subtilis
  • Bacillus cohnii
  • Bacillus balodurans
  • Bacillus pseudofirmus

Mechanism of Bacterial Concrete

Self Healing concrete is a result of biological reaction of non-reacted limestone with a calcium based nutrient with the help of bacteria to heal the cracks appeared on the building. Special type of bacteria known as Bacillus is used along with calcium nutrient known as Calcium Lactate. While preparing concrete, this products are added in the wet concrete when the mixing is done. This bacteria can be in dormant state for around 200 years. When the cracks appear in the concrete, the water seeps through the cracks. The spores of the bacteria germinate and starts feeding on the calcium lactate consuming oxygen. The soluble calcium lactate is converted to insoluble limestone. The insoluble limestone starts to harden. Thus filling the crack automatically without any external aid. The other advantage of this process is that the oxygen is consumed by the bacteria to convert calcium into limestone , it helps in the prevention of corrosion of steel due to cracks. This improves the durability of steel reinforced concrete construction.

Bacterial Concrete or Self Healing Concrete For Crack Repairs

Preparation of Bacterial Concrete

Bacterial concrete can be prepared in two ways,

  1. By Direct application
  2. By encapsulation in lightweight concrete.

In the direct application method, bacterial spores and calcium lactate is added into concrete directly when mixing of concrete is done. The use of bacteria and calcium lactate doesn’t change the normal properties of concrete. When cracks are occurred in the structure due to obvious reasons, the bacteria are exposed to climatic changes. When the water comes in contact with this bacteria, they germinate and feed on calcium lactate and produces limestone. Thus sealing the cracks.

By encapsulation method the bacteria and its food i.e,. calcium lactate are placed inside treated clay pellets and concrete is prepared. About6% of the clay pellets are added for making bacterial concrete. The concrete structures are made with bacterial concrete when the cracks occur in the structure then the clay pellets are broken and the bacteria germinate and eat down the calcium lactate and produce limestone, which hardens and thus sealing the crack. Minor cracks about 0.5mm width can be treated by using bacterial concrete.

Among these two methods, Encapsulation method is commonly used , even though it is costlier than direct application.

Chemical process of Bacterial Concrete

When the water comes in contact with the unhydrated calcium in the concrete, calcium hydroxide is produced by the help of bacteria, which acts as a catalyst. This calcium hydroxide reacts with atmospheric carbon dioxide and forms limestone and water. This extra water molecule keeps the reaction going.

CaO+H2O——>Ca(OH)2

Ca(OH)2+CO2——>CaCO3+H2O

The limestone then hardens itself and seals the cracks in the concrete.

Tests on Bacterial Concrete

Standard test were conducted on normal concrete and self healing concrete. Tests conducted were Compressive test and Flexural strength test on a concrete cube for 7 and 28 days.

FLEXURAL STRENGTH TEST RESULT FOR 7 AND 28 DAYS FOR BACTERIAL CONCRETE

From the results, we can see that both the compression and flexural strength of the bacterial concrete is greater than that of normal concrete.

ADVANTAGES OF BACTERIAL CONCRETE

  • Self repairing of cracks without any external aid.
  • Significant increase in compressive strength and flexural strength when compared to the normal concrete.
  • Resistance towards freeze-thaw attacks.
  • Resistance in permeability of concrete.
  • Reduces the corrosion of steel due to cracks formation and increases the durability of steel reinforced concrete.
  • Bacillus bacteria are harmless to human life and hence it can be used effectively.

DISADVANTAGES OF BACTERIAL CONCRETE

  • Cost of bacterial concrete is double than the conventional concrete.
  • Growth of bacteria is not good in any atmosphere and media.
  • The clay pellets holding the self-healing agent comprise 20% of the volume of the concrete. This may become a shear zone or fault zone in the concrete.
  • Design of mix concrete with bacteria here is not available in any IS code or other code.
  • Investigation of calcite precipitate is costly.

World of anime

The cases also show that most of the people arrested so far for such crimes are those connected to hospitals — a doctor, security guards, nurses, lab technicians — or are medical salespersons, chemists, and drivers who work for private ambulance and cab services. In their interrogation report, the motive, as mentioned by the police is usually the same — “earn quick money.”

Most of them, anime comes from manga or jananese comic, especially from those popular maga series, there are many well-know anime, such ass Pokemon, Dragon ball, Doremon, Naruto.

These amines talks about their story about mission, friendship, importance of the purpose of life.

like any other type of movie or show, there are many different type of genres in anime, and for every single type of person. However even within anime there are unique types of genres limited to only anime. Anime has a certain type of artwork to it unlike American cartoons. Anime creators were largely influenced by the early ages of Disney characters, such as Snow White, Mickey Mouse, Anime has evolved so much since the first film made. Anime came to the United states in a very unique way, during a sci-fi convention. Anime has a big influence on today’s society including cosplay, conventions, and collecting merchandise.

Black market never Ending process, in India

The black market economy is a commercial activity that operates outside of laws, regulations, and taxes. It’s also called the shadow economy, the underground economy, or the informal economy.

As India faces a devastating surge of new coronavirus infections overwhelming its health care system, people are taking desperate measures to try to keep loved ones alive. In some cases they are turning to unproven medical treatments, in others to the black market for life-saving medications that are in short supply.

In the last three weeks, the police have busted at least 75 cases and arrested more than 90 people who were either hoarding these items or selling them at exorbitant rates.

A flourishing black market of medicines and medical devices has come up ever since the ongoing Covid-19 wave has overburdened the health care system, leading to desperate calls for hospital beds, oxygen, antiviral injections, and devices such as oxygen concentrators, flowmeters, and pulse oximeters.

The cases also show that most of the people arrested so far for such crimes are those connected to hospitals — a doctor, security guards, nurses, lab technicians — or are medical salespersons, chemists, and drivers who work for private ambulance and cab services. In their interrogation report, the motive, as mentioned by the police is usually the same — “earn quick money.”

what is a Plasma donation ?

The therapy aims at using antibodies from the blood of a recovered COVID-19 patient to treat those critically infected by the virus. Plasma is a blood component that contains virus-fighting antibodies. It is like blood donation, however, in the same plasma gets separated from the blood and the remaining blood will be transferred back to your body resulting in zero blood loss. The procedure is completely harmless and the donor does not experience any pain, sickness or dizziness.

 plasma, the clear liquid component of whole blood, is collected during donation through a process known as plasmapheresis. During plasmapheresis, an apheresis machine removes and separates the plasma from the whole blood. As plasma contains nutrients, proteins, and antibodies, it can be used to develop treatments for diseases. Plasma used for these purposes is called convalescent plasma.

Convalescent plasma has been used in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases for centuries. It is considered a form of ‘passive immunization’ as plasma collected from patients who have recovered from a previous infection and developed adaptive immunity, demonstrated by the presence of antigen-specific antibodies. Upon transfusion into another patient, the plasma can neutralize the disease pathogen, eventually eradicating it from blood circulation

Mother’s day Special

Mother’s day is a special day and an occasion celebrated across the world in most families. On this day, we try to express our love, respect, honour, and gratitude for our mother.

On this day, society acknowledges all the contributions and efforts of mothers. for the unconditional love, our mothers give us, and we can never be grateful enough, let alone ever repay. We share a strong maternal bond with the woman responsible for our upbringing

Most children are excited about Mother’s Day because, on this day, they can force their mother to take rest from their busy life. Children request their mother to spend the whole day with them while children work to show their love.

It doesn’t necessarily mean for being a mother, and an individual has to give birth to a child. It is the nurturing and love that is given to a child by a female, or a feminine gendered individual provides as they take the responsibility of a child makes them a mother.

The person who makes us realize God’s presence in every one of our lives is our mother. She is that sole being who has more trust in us than the trust we have in ourselves. Our coming to existence is the blessing of our mothers.

No one else is as worried about our health and well-being as our mother. We all remember those countless nights when our mothers did not leave our side for an instance when we needed them. It is truly a shame for those who do not value their mother as they should. We should all strive to make our parents, especially our mother, happy by following her teachings and becoming a good and successful person.

Signs that you have a fake friend.

People wear the mask and pretend to be somebody they are not such people are termed to be fake people.
Fake people are genuine people because of a selfish motive always such as attention, sympathy, promotion, etc.

Signs of a fake person:
I, ME, AND MYSELF

fake people are full of themselves. They collect every memory which involves. They think everything rotates around them.
Most of the people are not good they act or pretend, So the other person appears inferior and they get all of the attention.

Projecting emotions smartly
Fake people try to be alert while you have an emotional conversation with them. Because they don’t their true emotions to be expressed.

Attention Seeker
To navigate fake people one should always notice how much attention they try to seek or steal and want to be in the spotlight.

Crappy friend
Fake people are bad friends. They don’t try to understand you and your feeling. They would not be there for you when you truly need them.

The Rise of AI and Its Impacts

It is a typical marvel that on the off chance that you rehash a word sufficient occasions, it loses its significance. It is going on with AI as of now. In spite of the fact that AI at long last made it to the mainstream technologies rather excessively fast, its excursion will be rockier than it was for different technologies previously.

The Long Path

AI, as an idea, is nothing new; it has been around for quite a long time. Be that as it may, it took off fundamentally during the 1950s, when Alan Turing investigated it further. In any case, the advancement of it was restricted because of the condition of computer hardware available around then. 

At the point when computers turned out to be all the more impressive in later years, they were quicker, reasonable, and had more force regarding capacity and computing speed. From that point forward, research in AI has been developing consistently. It was the point at which we had only 1MB memory frameworks housed in a big-box. Presently we have 128GB memory frameworks in a charge card measured gadget. The headway in hardware has essentially empowered innovative expansion significantly. 

In the previous few years, there has been an unexpected development in every one of the exercises identified with AI, which was mainly supported by the acknowledgment of the Internet of Things (IoT) and other integral technologies like Big Data, Cloud Computing, and so on 

Also, since a year ago, we are seeing a few AI executions. There is no uncertainty that AI is as yet in its adolescence, however it has arrived at a minimum amount, where exploration and application can happen all the while. We can without a doubt say that we have switched gears. 

AI is as of now settling on a few choices that influence your life, if you like it, and have made huge progress lately.

AI is not everywhere yet

While it is normal to imagine that AI has infiltrated pretty much every vertical or market, it is a long way from reality. Best case scenario, a couple of technology spot fires in a couple of select industries where AI is making its imprint. 

Shockingly, marketing gimmicks are at play to cause everybody to feel that AI has covered everything; a few segments are as yet immaculate. 

Many picture acknowledgment frameworks are currently better at distinguishing malignant growth or miniature breaks from a patient’s MRI or X-beam reports. Many example acknowledgment frameworks can correspond to a few neurotic reports and make a practically exact expectation of the patient’s well being status. But then, clinical suggestions without a specialist’s express endorsement or marks is certifiably not an ordinary practice. Furthermore, this is acceptable on the grounds that, when there is human existence in question, frameworks ought not settle on an ultimate choice, ever. Subsequently, all things considered, AI may just arrive at a status of Assisted Intelligence and may not be allowed (ought not be permitted) to turn into a mainstream marvel by any means. 

While organizations are persistently removing people from the client support area and supplanting them with chatbots or robotized responders that are AI-driven, a human touch is getting costly. I previously saw a startup pitch at an occasion where their essential separation was — “we offer individual help for every one of your inquiries.” Mostly, we see an energizing change regarding AI and non-AI-based arrangement contributions. 

Self-learning applications are another region where AI is making a section. Utilizing modified learning, speed, and proposals, it is getting famous. Notwithstanding, as that occurs, educating, training, and tutoring will before long turn into a high-contact administration will in any case be popular. Along these lines, it is hard to say whether AI has contacted this area really or just transformed it into something different. 

Another angle where AI has not yet contacted and won’t influence is live entertainment and workmanship. These are such customized and inventive pursuits that they would not have a similar importance without having a human in them. There have been a couple of trials with AI making workmanship, however those fine arts have a significant distinctive flavor. AI frameworks can make workmanship dependent on what they have been trained for. A few of those are mainly mathematical and orderly shapes or pictures, nothing that a human would fundamentally draw with a marginally adequate and characteristic awkwardness in it. The genuine initiation of craft by workmanship can’t be yet given to a counterfeit framework. 

Innovativeness is some part interaction and some part arbitrariness, which is the specific inverse of the standard based strategy. I don’t think AI will contribute straightforwardly to the innovative business any time soon.

Users and employees have mixed reactions

To the extent end-clients of AI innovation are worried, there is high-level fear, uncertainty, and uncertainty (FUD) among the greater part. 

The sheer duality of this innovation is a critical concern. AI is an incredible asset, and very much like some other apparatus, people can utilize it for fortunate or unfortunate things. Additionally, since individuals aren’t yet effectively looking at dealing with expected abuse of AI, this has remained a developing concern. 

Another justification having a wary standpoint toward AI is a conceivable fear of occupation misfortunes. On the off chance that gigantic quantities of individuals lose positions without an elective framework set up, it would without a doubt be risky, making disorder. 

However, of course, looking at the situation objectively profoundly, you will understand that it isn’t losing an employment that worries many. What individuals normally stress over is — having nothing better to do when their mainstream work is disturbed. 

Lamentably, most of AI execution projects don’t address this issue forthright. All things considered, it is done as an idea in retrospect. It is maybe the most considerable justification being distrustful of AI. 

A considerable lot of us like the simplicity and comfort these AI arrangements are giving at a shallow level. Nonetheless, our solace before long dissolves as these arrangements increment their extension and contact basic parts of our life, like banking, social advantages, security, medical care, and others. 

Predisposition and bigotry have been leaders in the rundown of purposes behind the doubt in AI in that capacity. Individuals additionally fear that AI may show explicit negligence for human control. This, nonetheless, doesn’t have any priority, however it is basically conceivable, and subsequently, it is a real concern. 

Blunders at-scale is certifiably not a generally known issue, yet the individuals who have been casualties of this issue in the past consider this to be one of the huge concerns when utilizing AI in daily life. Envision when a public AI framework drops the Mastercards for a great many individuals due to some mistake. The size of bedlam this may cause is the main justification this worry. 

As an overall perception, I have seen that everybody is agreeable as long as they are not contacting or influencing center life matters. They are agreeable in entertainment and extravagance, yet less when basic parts of life are in the possession of an AI, like accounts, wellbeing, security, occupations, driving, and others the same.

Your Dreams Are Mine Now

“A beautiful innocent soul had been torn apart. The one who had always stood for the right thing had been badly wronged”

By Ravinder Singh

Title – Your dreams are mine now

Joy of Writing

You can make anything by writing. -C.S.Lewis


The most amazing feeling is penning our feelings into paper. Have you ever done that? If not try it out and you’ll be relaxed. It’s the hardest thing to an extent and the most beautiful thing to another extent. If you really angry on someone try penning it down, pour all your feelings into the paper and later when you finish your piece of work you’ll be happy and relieved. When you are sad you might feel it hard to pen it down but once if you have the courage to do you’ll make the best of your works. “Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on” says Louis L’Amour. Writing is an art that refuses to be efficient. It’s not the liability of writing but its strength. You must write in order to say what you wanted to tell, no matter how sure you are when you begin. Writing fosters one’s ability to explain what he/she wanted to tell. This process also preserves memories and ideas. When you had a lovely day try to put all your feelings into the pen and paper, and later after some years when you read it you’ll have the same happiness and joy even after years. That is the reason most people have their personal diaries where they feed it with all their happiness, joy, sorrow, anger and pain. Be it good or bad you’ll smile when you look at it after years. Isabel Allende says “Write what should not be forgotten” Writing what you feel makes you mentally strong. To write what you feel is the most courageous thing you can do. Many can write what makes them happy but when something worries you and writing what makes you feel bad is really good and that will make you feel relaxed at the other end. Just leave all your worries with that full stop (.) on your paper. And when you raise your pen above the paper you’ll feel like rising above the storm and that gives you strength to overcome the troubles that comes your way. Martin Luther King says “If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write” Write as much as you can, there’s no limit for what you write but what you write should be revised a multiple times. The more you revise your work the more better you work will turn into. Not every first draft can be the best, but it doesn’t matter how the first draft looks but what matters is how your final draft is. C.J.Cherryh says, “It is perfectly okay to write garbage as long as you edit it brilliantly” this may sound funny but this is the truth that makes every writer stronger than before. Just put all your emotions into paper with the flow of your pen.

Time

Life teaches us to make good use of Time,
While Time teaches us the value of Life.


Time never runs fast or slow but according to our mindset we say time ran so fast. Punctuality is such a small quality which holds a greater strength like a small chisel that turns a stone into a sculpture. Time management is the chisel and the sculpture is life. Manage your time perfectly and the rest will be perfect. As the proverb sounds “Time and Tide waits for none”, time is precious because once you lost you can never regain it in life. Time is the most valuable thing in this world and hence one should use in the most possible way which is good for us and people around us. The most possible way of utilizing time in perfect way is making schedules before you start up the day. Set long and short term goals to make use of time in a most effective manner. Time is the only thing in the world that is limitless. As William Penn quotes “Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.” Time has the ability to make one richer or poorer according to how you make use of it. Our whole life revolves around time and we don’t know when the time ends for us in this world. It is just a matter of second that many lives passed away from this world. So make use of your own time when it is available and wasting now and regretting later is of no use. There is another saying that goes like this Time is a created thing. To say, “I don’t have time” is to say “I don’t want to”. If you have a heart to do you’ll find time to do. Time is one thing where you make use of it properly, it will reward you in the best way. None knew how much time he/she have got in this world full of twists and turns, make sure you use the given time wisely in the most useful way. People usually say time changes things, but one should change to change for his/her self. There is a quote by Haruki Murakami which says “Time expands, then contracts, all in tune with the stirrings of the heart”. Use time wisely and enjoy the rewards of victory by it.

WORK FROM HOME PROS AND CONS

Work from is doing the office work from home. It is made popular now-a-days, due to the arising of COVID-19. Actually speaking, the concept of work from home, has emerged already. But it became frequently using now-a-days. There are many pros and cons of working from people. Employees feel that, they may work easily and comfortably when working from home. But the employees are also asked to work more time in their home. They are given more work and less time to complete their given work. Now a days almost every industry is asking their employees not to come to office, instead take work from home. Work from home is became as the emerging feature now-a-days. It is been accepted and welcoming by most of the employees.

The pros of work from home are,

  • Remote work saves money:

Yes, remote work definitely saves money. By doing work from home, the cost and expenses of the employees are being saved by the organization. The office expenses are reduced to the much lower extent. The remote work is nothing but, doing the work from their home, doing their work comfortably.  

  • Flexible schedule:

When working in home, we have a flexible and comfortable schedule. We can create our own schedule to work on and complete you work on our convenience.

  • Work life balance:

It can seem counterintuitive that bringing your work home with you can lead to better work-life balance, but hear us out. When you work remotely, you often deal with fewer distractions and increases your productivity. This means work gets done more quickly, and you have more time to spend with your family and friends. Remote work options are beneficial for your company as you have a wider talent pool to choose from and also a higher employee retention rate.

  • Team meetings:

When you’re not able to throw time on people’s calendars for meetings on a whim, you need to be more intentional about your calls. Working remotely can actually help you have more effective meetings by setting agendas upfront, or only taking calls that have a specific purpose.

The cons of work from home are,

  • Boundaries:

When there’s less separation between work and home, some employees have a hard time setting boundaries. Many feel expected to be online and available constantly, and instant messaging or collaboration tools can add to that feeling. Additionally, for those working with people in different time zones, it can be hard to have a regular work schedule.

  • Lack of communication

Having 100% virtual communication means more opportunities for miscommunication. When people aren’t sitting next to each other, it can be harder to talk things through and get things done as a team.

  • Isolated feeling:

Whether it’s heading out for happy hour drinks or chatting about the weekend, remote workers have to work harder to connect and build trust with one another. And if others on your team are co-located, they may not capture in writing what they’ve talked about in person. 

HOW TO MINIMISE SECOND WAVE OF COVID-19

Speaking at a Health Ministry press conference, Dr. VijayRaghavan said preventing a third wave depends on how effectively the guidelines are implemented and followed. “Infections rise when the virus has the opportunity to infect humans,” he added.

Responding to a question on when the second wave which has already infected lakhs and killed thousands, will Dr. VijayRaghavan said it has already started declining in some places. The number of cases and the positivity will decline and there will be a lag in hospitalization and mortality, he added.

Cautioning against the misuse of steroids and stressing the need to adhere to the treatment plan prescribed by doctors, NITI Aayog member V.K. Paul said people displaying symptoms — fever, headache, body ache, sore throat, breathlessness etc. — should consider themselves COVID positive unless tested otherwise and strictly follow COVID isolation and treatment guidelines.

“Both Sputnik Light and Johnson and Johnson vaccines are promising candidates and can help in hastening the vaccination cover in our population but their clearance will be based on the vaccines’ scientific merit,” he added. Meanwhile the Health Ministry noted that it has now advised State governments to prioritize due beneficiaries of the second dose for COVID vaccine and ensure timely completion of the recommended vaccination schedule.

“State governments have been told to utilize supplies of vaccines in a 70:30 ratio for 2nd dose and 1st dose respectively. Regular review of coverage of COVID-19 vaccination drive should be undertaken to formulate and implement a strategy for such prioritization and an effective communication strategy must be implemented for full two dose protection to all priority beneficiary groups,” said the Health Ministry.

The Ministry added that it has reviewed the COVID-19 situation and management with eight States — Assam, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarkand and Himachal Pradesh. India registered a record single-day hike of 4.14 lakh fresh COVID-19 case on Friday, May 7, taking the country’s coronavirus tally to 2.14 crores, the health ministry’s data showed.

With 3,915 fatalities being reported in a span of 24 hours, the death toll inched to 2.34 lakh. Meanwhile, experts are of the view that the reported numbers likely downplay the real toll because India’s hospitals and crematoriums have been overwhelmed, which makes the evaluation of any peak particularly complicated.

A high percentage of positive tests suggests the likelihood of many more people in the community with undetected coronavirus, according to Johns Hopkins University. And last year, the WHO recommended countries waited until their positive test rate was below 5% for at least two weeks before considering easing restrictions. Gautam Menon, a mathematical modeler and professor of physics and biology, at Ashoka University, near Delhi, says: “Test positivity rates are still quite high, over 20% countrywide.

Rated to deliver up to 1.5A, the L6981C for low-current operation uses pulse skipping to maximize efficiency at light loads, extending the runtime of battery-powered devices. The L6981N prioritizes low noise by operating permanently in PWM (pulse-width modulation) mode at a constant switching frequency, minimizing voltage ripple at light loads. 

As the L6981 converters come in two variants optimised for light-load efficiency and noise performance, they both can accept an input voltage from 3.5V to 38V, making them well suited to use in 24V industrial bus-powered applications, 12V and 24V battery-powered equipment, HVAC power supplies, decentralised intelligent nodes, smart sensors and always-on applications. The output voltage can be adjusted from 0.85V up to the input-voltage value using external resistors. 

Integrated features include:  

High-side and low-side NMOS power transistors 

Feedback-loop compensation 

Over-voltage protection 

Thermal protection.  

There is also soft-start circuitry that limits inrush current and ensures a constant output voltage slope. An Enable pin permits power-up/power-down sequencing and allows a synchronising clock signal to be applied to the L6981N low-noise converters.  

The L6981 is in production now and available from STMicroelectronics, in the proven, rugged SO8L package. The STEVAL-L6981CDR evaluation board for the low-current converter and STEVAL-L6981NDR for the low-noise version are also available to help designers accelerate device selection in power-supply development. 

World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day!

World Red Cross Red Crescent Day is celebrated on 8 May each year. It is an annual celebration of the 7 principles of International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement; humanitarian, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality.

Around the world, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement provide a wide range of services to the most vulnerable people in all situations, from responding to needs in disaster and conflict situations to assisting. They reach out to the community and advocate on behalf of those in need, those in urban areas, and difficult access areas.

This day is celebrated to mark their achievements and encourage people to help the ones in need. It is also celebrated to mark the birthday of the founder of International Committee of the Red Cross, Henry Dunant (8 May 1928). Henry Dunant was the first recipient of the Nobel Peace Price.

Let us know a little about how this day came into existence:

  • The idea for an “annual action that could take hold in the whole world … that would be a major contribution to peace” was introduced just after World War I.
  • This initiative, known as the “Red Cross Truce”, was studied by an International Commission established at the 14th International Conference of the Red Cross.
  • Its report, presented to the 15th International Conference of the Red Cross in Tokyo in 1934, was approved.
  • It was only after World War II, in 1946, that the Tokyo proposal was studied by the League of Red Cross Societies (LRCS), renamed the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in 1991.
  • Two years later, having considered the principles of the truce and its applicability across different regions of the world, the proposal of an annual International Red Cross Day was adopted and the first Red Cross Day was celebrated on May 8, 1948.
  • The official title of the day changed over time, and became “World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day” in 1984.

After that Every year 8 May Started to be celebrated as ‘World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day’. There were some themes and slogans introduced from 2009 onwards for the celebration. The Themes are mentioned below:

How to be Successful in Life

Your success lies in your hand. Success doesn’t come to you by just dreaming it needs sheer perseverance, patience, and dedication.

What is Success?

Success differs from person to person. For some, it may be money, self-care, flexible work hours, or personal fulfillment, etc. Why you want to be successful is personal to you. Your partner, family, etc might be having a different definition of success. But you should stick to yours.

People usually choose to be successful because they want to feel like they are important. But success is all about striving and trying to survive and grow.

Things You should understand if you want to be successful in life:

Hard work and patience.
You won’t become successful overnight. You have to be patient and keep working incessantly towards your goal.

Learn new skills.
When you develop or learn new skills they help you to overcome hurdles and challenges of life.

Do not get deterred by failure.
People with a growth mindset do not see failure as an obstacle they see it as a lesson and learn from it. They have a positive approach to life.

Reinforce your willpower.
People with strong willpower are determined and dedicated towards their passion and goals in life.

Writer’s Block

While writing have you ever felt lack of thoughts and ideas. You sit there thinking for hours and still don’t come up with anything. This phenomenon is called writer’s block.

Writer’s block is a condition when an author or a writer runs out of ideas to produce new work or experiences creativity slowdown. Most writers have experienced it at one point or another in their careers. And it doesn’t just happen to writers. Creatives from all walks of life—artists, musicians, poets, entrepreneurs—can suffer from it. Sometimes inspiration just doesn’t strike.

The reason why it’s so hard to get started and find continuous inspiration varies greatly from person to person. Some reasons for writer’s block are:-

  • Excessively harsh self-criticism
  • Fear of rejection
  • Fear of comparison to other writers
  • Lack of external motivation, like attention and praise
  • Lack of internal motivation, like the desire to tell one’s story
  • Pressure from a previous success

The best antidote for writer’s block is self-knowledge.When you find what’s stopping you from writing, you’ll find strategies to retaliate and, soon, return to writing. These strategies might help to overcome writer’s block :-

  • Write about the problem.
  • Go for a walk.
  • Listen to music.
  • Reward yourself for little things.
  • Rid yourself of distractions. 
  • Look to the news.
  • Ask family and friends for help.

Overcoming writer’s block is a delicate process that is often highly subjective and depends on each individual. But, at the end of the day, it is about conquering self-doubt and knowing that hard work will pay off.

Database Transaction

A database offers the coordinated stockpiling of information. The most well-known activities with a database are recovering and composing. Applications put some information there and later access it. The proportion among perusing and composing tasks may differ. Be that as it may, the reason stays as before. 

With an ever increasing number of solicitations hitting the database, the issue of information consistency is raised. Yet, in the event that your answer is following the ACID standards (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability), it won’t be an issue. 

How about we investigate the universe of information consistency and its accepted procedures.

An exchange is an approach to stay away from issues with information consistency. It is a nuclear procedure on the database. The motivation behind exchanges is to fulfill all the ACID standards, and the Isolation property is the one making a significant commitment towards it. 

The entire idea of exchange disengagement is to bolt admittance to the database until the exchange wraps up. This implies a few exchanges will be performed successively — not in equal. There are diverse seclusion levels for administering procedures on the database. As a matter of course, every database the board framework doesn’t utilize a similar detachment level. 

The least difficult and most well known disengagement level is Read Committed. It ensures that Dirty Reads and Dirty Writes are unthinkable. Just the information that is submitted will get noticeable to the rest. It is accomplished with a line level lock and reference to the old worth. 

With a column level lock, just a solitary exchange can keep in touch with it, and some other exchange adjusting a similar line needs to pause. While that functions admirably, it has disadvantages. The presentation of read-just exchanges may endure. Normally, the normal number of read-just exchanges is a lot higher than compose ones. 

To improve the reaction time for read-just exchanges, the framework needs to keep the past worth of the line and return it to each question. All in-progress compose exchanges don’t obstruct read-just exchanges. The read question will possibly return another worth when the line gets refreshed and the lock is delivered. 

In the present circumstance, the exhibition stays at a healthy level and the issue of Dirty Reads is settled. Perusing activities don’t hinder composing tasks and composing tasks don’t obstruct understanding activities. 

Complex frameworks can have more issues, similar to Read Skew, Write Skew, and Phantom Reads. They show up in edge cases, however those are not edge cases you wish to have. Fortunately, every one of them are covered by cutting edge disengagement levels. 

Preview Isolation and Serializability have a place with cutting edge confinement levels. They seem to be like Read Committed yet for certain little contrasts. 

Depiction Isolation monitors numerous renditions of the column for each exchange as opposed to recalling just the past esteem. Serializability is the most grounded detachment level. It is accomplished by running all exchanges just in successive requests, rigorously individually.

A transactional database is a DBMS that gives the ACID properties to an organized arrangement of database tasks (start submit). All the compose activities inside an exchange have a win or bust impact, that is, either the exchange succeeds and all composes produce results, or something else, the database is brought to an express that does exclude any of the composes of the exchange. Exchanges likewise guarantee that the impact of simultaneous exchanges fulfills certain certifications, known as disconnection level. The most noteworthy seclusion level is serializability, which ensures that the impact of simultaneous exchanges is identical to their sequential (for example successive) execution. 

Most current social databases and the executives frameworks fall into the class of databases that help exchanges. NoSQL information stores focus on versatility alongside supporting exchanges to ensure information consistency in case of simultaneous updates and gets to. 

In a database framework, an exchange may comprise at least one information control articulations and questions, each perusing as well as composing data in the database. Clients of database frameworks consider consistency and honesty of information as profoundly significant.

An exchange submit activity perseveres every one of the aftereffects of information controls inside the extent of the exchange to the database. An exchange rollback activity doesn’t continue the fractional aftereffects of information controls inside the extent of the exchange to the database. For no situation can a fractional exchange be focused on the database since that would leave the database in a conflicting state. 

Inside, multi-client databases store and cycle exchanges, regularly by utilizing an exchange ID or XID. 

There are various changing ways for exchanges to be executed other than the basic route archived previously. Settled exchanges, for instance, are exchanges which contain explanations inside them that start new exchanges (for example sub-exchanges). Staggered exchanges are a variation of settled exchanges where the sub-exchanges occur at various levels of a layered framework engineering (e.g., with one activity at the database-motor level, one activity at the working framework level).[2] Another kind of exchange is the remunerating exchange.

Dr.Ida Scudder

Only those who can see the Invisible
Can achieve the Impossible”
             -Dr.Ida Scudder

Dr. Ida Sophia Scudder was a third-generation American medical missionary who came to serve people in India. The first and second generation of the Scudder family served as medical missionaries in India and Ida as a young girl wanted to spend a lavish lifestyle in America. Her parents were working as medical missionaries in India and once Ida happened to visit India to meet her parents. That night there came a man knocking her door and he pleaded to operate his wife who is going to give birth. Ida said him that she is not a doctor but her father who is a doctor can help him. But the man refused saying that no men is allowed to operate his wife. She was shocked by his answer. Then came another man for the same reason and he refused saying the same. She felt very bad in her heart for the women of this nation. Then came the third man and refused because the doctor is a male. Later on Ida heard that the three women died. She felt so bad and she decided to finish her studies and come and serve the Indian women for the rest of her life. That was her life-changing experience and she dedicated the rest of her life for the plight of Indian women and the fight against bubonic plague, cholera and leprosy. She started a tiny medical dispensary for women at Vellore, Tamil Nadu. She knew that it is impractical to go on alone, so she opened The Mary Taber Schell Hospital in 1902. For the betterment of the South Indian women she decided to open a medical school for girls only. There were 151 applications on the first year in 1918. In 1928 ground was broken for the “Hillsite” medical school campus on 200 acres at Bagayam, Vellore. That year Mahatma Gandhi visited the medical school. She travelled to America numerous times to raise funds for the college and hospital, raising a total in the millions. In 1945 the college was opened or both men and women. In 2003, the Vellore Christian Medical Center was the largest Christian hospital in the world, with 2000 beds and its medical school is now one of the premier medical colleges in India. CMC Vellore has brought many significant achievements to India by starting the first nursing college in 1946 and by performing the first reconstructive surgery for leprosy in the world (1948). CMC Vellore performed the first successful open heart surgery in 1961, performing the first kidney transplant in India (1971), performing first bone marrow transplantation in 1986 and the first successful incompatible kidney transplant in India in 2009. Dr. Scudder won Elizabeth Blackwell Citation from the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary as one of 1952’s five outstanding women doctors. Dr. Ida Sofia Scudder died on May 23, 1960 aged 89 in her Hilltop bungalow in Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu.

One plasma donor saves at least three lives

India is going through the second wave and suffering the loss of lakhs of lives. The country witnessed 4,12,000 cases in the last 24 hours which is the highest number of cases reported in a single day. The smiles from Indian faces is burning on funeral pyres. In such a drastic crisis, plasma and oxygen cylinders stand out to be two things which have not only become the life line of people but also has become the only ray of hope for people. India requires plasma, every day, the social media handles are flooded with millions of posts seeking for plasma. Let us try to find out why plasma holds such a significance in fighting the covid war.

Plasma is the liquid component of the blood which holds the white blood cells (WBCs), Red blood cells (RBCs). About 55% of the blood is plasma and remaining 45% are RBCs and WBCs. 92% of the constituent of plasma is water.

Now, the question arises, how does this plasma help a covid-19 infected individual? The answer to this question lies in the fact that whenever an individual gets an infection, the human body produces a response to it and produces anti bodies against the pathogen (corona virus). These anti bodies remain dispersed in the plasma of the individual and can be used to introduce anti bodies in another body to produce an immune response. Any individual who had been infected by covid 19 and has recovered can donate plasma given that the infection was moderate. Asymptomatic individuals cannot donate plasma. The age group which is legible is in between 18 to 65 years having a body weight more than 50kg and no other disease like diabetes, hypertension etc.

Donating plasma is an absolutely safe process. The donor doesn’t feel any kind of side effects or weakness at all. The donor just needs to take a 15 minutes rest post donation following which he/she can return to daily activities and routine. An individual is recommended to donate plasma after 14 days of complete recovery after infection and can continue donating plasma for about 4 to 6 times in the next 3 to 4 months.

A single donor of plasma saves at least three lives. The human body automatically regenerates plasma after 24 hours so, your need not worry about running short of plasma! All the people reading out this article, encourage people to donate plasma and save lives!

The Future of Data Integration

Cloud computing, large information, AI, information lakes, information stockrooms — no uncertainty, on the off chance that you’ve been following the tech world you’ve heard these popular expressions. These patterns and the subsequent advancements have changed the world and are proceeding to uncover new freedoms for development. 

On the off chance that you took a gander at the essence of information incorporation 15 years prior when Talend, presently a behemoth in the space, dispatched Talend Open Studio the words that struck a chord were “simplified” interface, SQL-based, on reason, and Windows local. From that point forward, things have changed drastically.

The devices that are upsetting heritage joining arrangements from any semblance of Talend and Informatica are totally different. First off, they’re cloud-put together instead of with respect to preface, web applications as opposed to work area programming, advantage from strong change apparatuses like dbt, and influence the limit of information distribution centers and information lakes like Snowflake to solidify more information than any time in recent memory. 

The explanation these new apparatuses are so appealing is to a great extent because of how fanned out information is turning out to be. New SaaS stages to assist organizations with overseeing drives, deals, invoicing, charging, promoting, contributing, client investigation, and more are developing at a quick speed. The cutting edge business examiner is entrusted with solidifying this information proficiently and drawing helpful experiences that impact business choices — and these instruments convey.

Overview

StitchData

StitchData made a stage that is centered exclusively around moving information from these SaaS stages into information stockrooms. The organization was ultimately procured by Talend in 2018, as a feature of Talend’s more prominent endeavors to infiltrate the new cloud-based market. 

The virtuoso of Stitch was interesting to the two experts and engineers. They began an open-source drive called Singer which presented a standard spec for building taps in Python (connectors to various stages like CRMs, ERPs, and more) and targets. Lately, the Python stack has gotten known for its utilization with AI and information purging (for example, bundles like Pandas, PySpark, Dask, and more) so it bodes well that the taps intended to acquire the information utilize similar stack and appeal to similar engineers. 

The thought was that everybody can profit by very much kept up taps to every one of these stages. All things considered, what single association needs to dedicate the labor to keep many these taps as their APIs and mappings change? 

For their endeavor offering, Stitch offers a pleasant web interface and an API that empowers business investigators and designers the same to use these taps through Stitch’s framework. 

Fivetran and Xplenty 

Instruments like Fivetran and Xplenty adopt a somewhat unique strategy, and focus on the business examiner market. The two stages boast many pre-constructed, restrictive connectors kept up by their group, a strong change layer, and profoundly versatile foundation to match up information from these connectors to your information distribution center. 

These stages appeal to the specialized business examiner who needs to unite information and draw experiences. Fivetran stresses pre-standardized information with the additional advantage of in-distribution center, SQL-based changes through dbt. While Xplenty offers a UI based change framework suggestive of Talend Data Studio, however with the adaptability conceivable from distributed computing. 

Meltano 

Lamentably, after Talend’s obtaining of Stitch the Singer project lost course and numerous taps dropped out of upkeep. Fortunately, GitLab subsidized the Meltano open source project which expects to regroup. The undertaking expects to give experts the instruments important to have, make, and run information joining pipelines all alone. They concur with Singer’s underlying mission and are chipping away at SDKs to make great Singer taps simpler. 

In contrast to Stitch, they need to completely understand decentralized open-source kept up taps that each association can use and add to. They intend to discover open source maintainers outside of the Meltano staff who are utilizing their Singer taps have an inspiration to keep them kept up. They as of now have a few consultancies and designers who have ventured up to keep these taps working for the entire local area. 

Airbyte 

Airbyte is building another quickly developing open source stage to address the issues in information reconciliation. Similar to Meltano, their point is to commoditize information joining and offer a self-facilitated option in contrast to devices like Fivetran. The organization is centered around expanding their open-source stage and local area, and intends to turn into another standard on the lookout.

What Skills Does a Data Engineer Need?

With a broad foundation in information science, examination, and distributed computing, I am reliably posed similar inquiries over and again. Other than needing to know the distinction between an information engineer and an information researcher, perhaps the most widely recognized inquiry is “What abilities would it be a good idea for me to learn as an information engineer?” 

It’s an incredible request for new or imminent information engineers dependent on the chances accessible. 

The truth is, organizations need information designs like never before previously. At our present speed, there are roughly 2.5 quintillion bytes of information made each day — a figure that keeps on developing at a sped up pace. By 2025, specialists gauge that the world will make 463 exabytes of information every day. That is what could be compared to 212,765,957 DVDs each day. 

To all the more likely use information, organizations are presently acknowledging they need to employ information specialists to take their information from direct A toward point B. That way, information researchers and investigators can without much of a stretch use it, expanding effectiveness and efficiency. That is the reason “information engineer” is the quickest developing position title, as per a 2019 examination. 

To help you as another information engineer, I have made a range of abilities pyramid that can be considered as a progression of the range of abilities needed. This will help you center around the abilities you ought to master first, permitting you to assemble a strong establishment as you proceed onward to more explicit abilities. Simply recollect, the manner in which you gain proficiency with each progression of the pyramid shouldn’t be excessively inflexible or stay in an exacting request. You can layer each progression, helping you progress as you learn. We should begin!

Python and SQL

At the foundation of the pyramid, I suggest learning Structured Query Language (SQL) and some type of coding. 

At the point when I say coding, I mean learning the center ideas, like circles, if articulations, capacities, and information structures. You need to comprehend what they are, their main event, and how they work. For what reason would you need to utilize one over the other? 

To turn into a fruitful information engineer, you should be a capable developer. At present, we live in the time of Python, which keeps on being a standard section point. This programming language is ideal for sites, prearranging, and information. SQL is the language of information and identifies with robotization, prearranging, and data set demonstrating. Notwithstanding its age, it keeps on assuming a critical part in overseeing and handling information. 

Both SQL and Python are the most widely recognized advancements recorded in work postings. Regardless of whether an information engineer is working for Apple or a little startup, they should be specialists in SQL. Python likewise stays popular. 

The best dialects and innovations for you will rely upon what you expect to spend significant time in. For instance, the individuals who are specialists in information preparing might be profoundly capable in Spark or AWS. Notwithstanding, before you arrive at that point, you need to become familiar with the fundamentals.

ETL and Data Warehousing

A higher level incorporates ETLs (separate, change, burden) and ELTs, which are the cycles that permit you to take information starting with one point then onto the next — regularly utilizing a device or programming. The information is prepared, removed, regularly changed, and afterward stacked into an information lake or information distribution center. Seeing how to move information is basic for the following arrangement of abilities related with information stockrooms, information lakes, and now and again information lake houses: 

Information stockrooms will assist you with understanding information displaying and why experienced information engineers measure information surely. Acquiring this understanding will permit you to guarantee more noteworthy consistency, assisting organizations with settling on more educated choices. 

Understanding information lakes dependent on their part in organizations, as this alternative permits organizations to oversee information in a way that is frequently more affordable and interaction substantially contrasted with information warehousing. 

Information lake houses is a term that has gotten mainstream over the previous year. Once more, organizations are tracking down this an engaging choice, as it joins components of both information distribution centers and information lakes. 

You can invest a ton of energy finding out about the three frameworks above, as there are many accepted procedures as far as ETLs, information demonstrating, and so on Try not to hurry through this layer of learning, as it is the “basics” of information designing.

Cloud, DevOps, and Data Visualization

When you acquire insight, the nuts and bolts behind this progression are genuinely clear. Be that as it may, when you are first creating information engineer abilities, everything can appear to be overpowering — simply because there is a long way to go. 

Start by understanding the cloud regarding serverless registering, cloud information distribution centers, and so on. On the off chance that you wind up working for a startup later on, this information will be significant. 

DevOps will help you take code from your current circumstance into a creation climate. Come out as comfortable with Git — a device that is utilized for source code on the board. 

While finding out about information representation, you will pick an instrument like Tableau. Learn best practices also.

Streaming Data, Distributed Computing, and Specialization

Whenever you have found out about the best three layers and the ideas inside them, you can turn out to be more explicit with your methodology. Since you’ll know about ETLs and information warehousing and will be acquainted with working with the cloud, setting up something on AWS Kinesis will come all the more normally to you. 

At this stage, you can jump further into conveyed handling just as the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing that sort of framework. 

Some information engineers endeavor to turn into a subject matter expert, working either rigorously with Microsoft, Azure Data Factory, and the rundown goes on. Numerous organizations are searching for specialists in explicit territories, so that is something that numerous new information engineers mull over while sharpening their abilities. 

The most awesome aspect of being more proficient is that you have the opportunity to pick what you’d prefer to zero in on. Some appreciate building foundation parts, while others lean toward building information items. 

As another information engineer, you will likely assist organizations with bettering their information — and paying little heed to how enormous or effective an organization is, there will consistently be information issues. This is extraordinary for growing information engineers since it expands the likelihood of high employer stability.

FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is a unique feature. Friendship is always essential for everyone. A friend is a person who stands for everyone in all the success and failure which takes place in our life. A friend should be an advisor, well-wisher, a guide etc. It is a mutual affection between people. Friendship, a state of enduring affection and trust between two people. In all cultures, friendships are important relationships throughout a person’s life span.

Friendships play an important role in healthy human development and adjustment across the life span. Friendships exist in practically every stage of development, although the form they take varies considerably with age. Everyone must have known about this proverb, “A friend in need is a friend indeed”, which means a friend should be in all the aspects whether it is success (or) any failure. A good friend will not let you down in any cases. It all depends on the type of friend we have.

Among people in long-term relationships, women tend to do more work to sustain friendships and other close relationships. This might include sending Christmas cards, remembering birthdays, making phone calls, and updating friends on major life events. Lifelong friendships can be immensely rewarding. People may draw inspiration from talking to those who knew them when they were young. Lifelong friends connect people to their history, offer insight on how a person has changed and evolved, and are often deeply connected to one another’s families. These friendships offer a sense of permanency and consistency that can be deeply reassuring at times of ambivalence, loss, or anxiety.

Making friends can be challenging for people of all interests, ages, and personalities. Children sometimes struggle with feeling like they don’t fit in at school or in extracurricular activities. This can prove especially challenging in small communities where children may feel trapped in a small peer group with which they have little in common.

Ending a friendship can be difficult. There’s no widely accepted cultural ritual for doing so, and no mandate that there must be a formal breakup. Some people simply stop talking to their friends, or drift away from them over time.

Because there is no accepted cultural standard for ending a friendship, there’s also no “right” reason to end a friendship. Some people invest lots of time even in friendships that cause a lot of emotional pain. Others are uninterested in friendships that present any challenges at all. Consider ending a friendship when the friendship becomes a barrier to your happiness or in some way undermines your values or self-worth. 

The great thing about friendship is that there is no single way to have or be a friend. So if a friendship is no longer working in its current form, consider changing the friendship rather than ending it. If your best friend isn’t as supportive as you would like, you might share less with them and slowly transition them to an acquaintance, without ending the friendship or removing them from your life.

EXERCISE

Exercise to be done regularly for a fit and a happy life. It strengthens our body and helps us to be fit for a long time. Exercise helps in controlling obesity and other unhealthy diseases. It controls our fat in our body and helps in good blood circulation. It is to be done on a regular basis, to lead our life with hale and healthy.

Obesity and being unhealthy is found in almost every third of children aged two to fifteen. So it’s more important to address this major issue and to get people fit and active. Exercise helps in the stimulation muscles development, joints and bones, as well as the lungs and heart. It helps a person maintain a constant healthy weight. Exercise helps young people manage symptoms of depression and anxiety.

THE SUFFEREING OF INDIAN FARMERS

Thousands of farmers from Haryana and Punjab have surrounded Delhi for the past four months in defiance of the three ordinances passed by the Indian parliament on September 14, 2020. This protest, which has gathered thousands of farmers in the capital and set up camp on three major sites in the city, is being dubbed the single largest protest in human history. Farmers are expressing their dissatisfaction with the bills, fearing that they will simply empower big companies and leave farmers at their mercy.

Farmers- The Core of Our Economy

India’s agricultural sector has shown resilience in the face of COVID-induced lockdowns, according to the Economic Survey 2020-2021. Agriculture and related activities were the only bright spot in an otherwise dismal GDP efficiency, growing at a rate of 3.4 percent at constant prices in 2020-21. The agriculture sector employs more than half of the country’s workforce. We must comprehend our farmers’ plight and the difficulties they have faced. Be it colonial-induced famines, landowner exploitation, debt burdens, recent locust invasions, crop destruction due to severe weather conditions, or alarmingly high suicide rates. It is our responsibility to listen carefully and understand their concerns as well as the reasons for their dissatisfaction.

The Modifications has been Simplified

The three farm bills proposed are as follows –

The Essential Commodities Act (which is based on a colonial-era law governing the quantity of produce that can be stored or sold) only provides for the control of particular food products in the event of natural disasters or war.

This amendment restricts the ability of the federal government and states to enforce stock and price limits. These restrictions should only be enforced in an emergency. As a result, large companies now have complete leverage over resources such as cereals, pulses, edible oil, onions, and potatoes.

The Farmers’ Produce Exchange and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, also known as the APMC Bypass Bill, addresses the mechanism that now allows farmers to trade their produce both intra-state and inter-state. Previously, they could only carry their produce to the APMC (Agricultural Produce Market Committee) Mandis, no matter how far away they were. This bill also provides for electronic produce trading and e-commerce. It prohibits the state government from charging farmers or electronic trading platforms a market fee for selling produce outside of the designated mandi.

The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, the third bill, allows farmers to participate in “contract farming,” which allows them to enter into a contract with Agri-firms or large buyers for a specific crop at a predetermined price.

What is the aim of Farmer’s Mobilization

The aim of these bills appears to be to benefit and enable farmers to sell at larger markets without being taxed, engage in e-commerce, minimise interactions with middlemen, and incorporate technology into their farming practises. All of this is made possible by the ruling party’s deregulatory reforms, which encourage privatisation. In India, contract farming is not a new phenomenon. Contract farming has already been tried by the governments of Punjab and Gujarat. Their knowledge will aid us in determining the possible consequences of the new legislation in other parts of the world. Let’s take a peek at the state of Punjab. For more than three decades, PepsiCo has been involved in contract farming and has proven to be profitable. Farmers’ incomes increased as a result of the increased jobs. PepsiCo’s arrival ushered in a potato revolt. Small-scale or neglected producers, on the other hand, are said to be dissatisfied. Sunara Singh, a 15-acre farmer, claims that small-scale farmers who try to sell a few kilos of produce (as opposed to the tonnes sold by large-scale farmers) are not even spoken to politely or given gate passes to PepsiCo’s premises, as stated by Basant Kumar in an article for NewsLaundary in October 2020.

Another issue with the proposed laws is that, in the event of a conflict between a large company and a farmer, most small farmers have little resources in terms of time, funding, or legal skills. Farmers are unable to resolve cases ex post facto in either a civil or SDM (Sub-district magistrate) court due to a lack of documentary evidence to support their claims. The farmer will eventually be at the mercy of the corporate buyer. The bill mentions a Minimum Sales Price (MSP) for the crops, but no concrete legislation is in place to enact it. MSP does not have a statutory backup. MSP serves as a benchmark or signal price for all crop trade in the United States.

“The point is that in a country where 86 per cent of farmers have a land of the size of
fewer than two hectares, you can’t expect the farmer to carry his produce to far off
places to sell. What we need is an assured price for the farmers. If the markets are
saying they will provide a higher price to farmers, the question is a higher price to
what? There must be some benchmark.” Says Davindar Sharma, a food and trade policy
analyst at Al Jazeera.

The Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act, also known as the Mandi system, was repealed by the state government of Bihar in 2006. “The financial situation of 94% of farmers in Bihar — who didn’t go to mandis or weren’t covered under minimum support price (MSP) — should have improved in the past 14 years, but their situation has worsened,” says economist DM Diwakar. This goes on to show that removing and selling agricultural produce outside of the APMC’s jurisdiction has an effect on the MSP that farmers are obligated to earn while trading inside the APMC Market Yard.

Educate, Organize, Agitate and Fact-Check!

Freedom of speech is important in a democracy. It must encourage people to express themselves, whether via social media sites, toolkits, or rallies. Tear gas and water cannons were used on protesters, demonstrators were arrested for standing up for their cause or without overt proof of a foreign plot, and the right to private counsel was denied during remand.

The Indian media has based its attention on the forces that have created instability, losing sight of the true causes of the unrest. Is it fair to ignore or, to put it another way, ridicule the majority of demonstrators who carried out their dissent in accordance with the government’s parameters and routes because a few groups had ulterior motives?

We must educate ourselves from reliable sources and double-check the information we ingest. We appear to equate oppressed people’s rage with their lack of credibility. We must empathise with the agitation and place it in perspective. If we really want to stand in solidarity, we must put an end to the dissemination of misinformation.

Dad

The purest form of love!

When I was a child
I remember the special way you smiled
When people showed me only anger
You are the one who is my anchor
When people points out only my mistakes
You alone are the medicine for my heartaches
When people said you are good for nothing
You strengthened me that “you can do everything”
When the whole world is fake
Your love alone is pure for my sake
Even the whole world is against me
I know you’ll be beside me
For all the great things you’ve done
I’ll be grateful to you till the end.
He is my love and my world
He is my dad.

Once you associate it, that is when you find it as a burden, or an attachment. The beauty of love is that it vanishes all the feelings of fear, jealousy, possession, anger and other negative feelings . Love is eternal . True love just needs the other person to be happy. Spread love and affection wherever you go.

Mistakes

When life gives you a new beginning
Don’t repeat your old mistakes

Mistake is something wrong which people do it unknowingly. When someone commits a mistake by knowing it is a crime. Mistakes are common among humans. A wise men once said ” Anyone who has never made a mistake has never done anything new”. From mistakes we learn, we experience. Every human has to undergo a phase of difficulty. It is not that one can live only a happy life. Somehow or the other the person should undergo hardships. In case of time one must choose a right way to overcome the obstacle rather to choose the other way. That may lead to a bigger problem in life. Mistakes are to learn. Everytime one makes a mistakes he learns a new thing. If once it is found that it is a mistake do not repeat the same. Every time, you’ll not get a way to solve for the same problem.

No matter what it is, have courage to get up and say “I’m capable of doing” and “I can do it”. You can definitely do it.

Different Data Science Job Titles

Occupation chasing is consistently an issue. It’s a fierce game, where you need to stand apart among hundreds and here and there a huge number of different candidates to get “the work.” But, getting a new line of work to apply for in any case is certifiably not a simple assignment. 

At the point when I initially began with information science, I was confused about the distinctive information science-related jobs’ obligations. I would not like to pick a job that I am not totally certain about the thing I will do. 

In light of the numerous jobs and the various names, candidates may get befuddled and not know what job coordinates with their particular ranges of abilities or what they need to chip away at. 

Considering the rising ubiquity of the documented — that isn’t hindering any time soon — I chose to compose this article to just clarify the distinction between the jobs and dispose of any disarray anybody on the vibe of a new position may have. 

Before we start, I should say that these titles are not fixed and may change later on. Additionally, a few jobs may cover and have more or less duties dependent on the organization employing. Be that as it may, this article should assist you with investigating the best 10 information science jobs generally.

1. Data Scientist

We should begin with the most broad job, information researcher. Being an information researcher involves you will manage all parts of the venture. Beginning from the business side to information gathering and examining, lastly imagining and presting. 

An information researcher knows a touch of everything; each progression of the task, therefore, they can offer better experiences on the best answers for a particular project and reveal examples and patterns. Besides, they will be accountable for exploring and growing new calculations and approaches. 

Regularly, in large organizations, group pioneers responsible for individuals with specific abilities are information researchers; their range of abilities permits them to neglect a task and guide them beginning to end.

2. Data Analyst

The second most realized job is an information expert. Information researcher and information investigation and fairly once in a while an organization will recruit you, and you will be known as a “information researcher” when the vast majority of the work you will do is information examination. 

Information investigators are answerable for various assignments, for example, picturing, changing, and controlling the information. Some of the time they are additionally liable for web investigation following and A/B testing examination. 

Since information investigators are responsible for representation, they are regularly accountable for setting up the information for correspondence with the undertaker’s industry side by getting ready reports that viably show the patterns and bits of knowledge accumulated from their examination.

3. Data Engineer

Information engineers are liable for planning, assembling, and keeping up information pipelines. They need to test biological systems for the organizations and set them up for information researchers to run their calculations. 

Information designs likewise work on cluster handling of gathered information and match its organization to the put away information. So, they ensure that the information is fit to be handled and examined. 

At last, they need to keep the biological system and the pipeline streamlined and proficient and guarantee that the information is accessible for information researchers and investigators to utilize.

4. Data Architect

Information planner has some regular duties with information engineers. The two of them need to guarantee that the information is very much organized and available for information researchers and examiners and improve the information pipelines’ exhibition. 

Also, information engineers need to plan and make new data set frameworks that match the necessities of a particular plan of action and occupation prerequisites. 

They need to keep up these data set frameworks, both from the usefulness viewpoint and the regulatory one. Thus, they need to monitor the information and conclude who can view, use, and control various segments of the information.

5. Data Storyteller

This is most likely the freshest occupation part in this rundown and, in the event that I may contend, a huge and inventive one. 

Regularly, information narrating is mistaken for information representation. In spite of the fact that they do share a few shared traits, there is an unmistakable contrast between them. Information narrating isn’t just about imagining the information and making reports and details; rather, it is tied in with tracking down the story that best depicts the information and utilizes it to communicate it. 

It lays directly in the center between unadulterated, crude information and human correspondence. An information narrator needs to take on some information, work on it, center it around a particular perspective, break down its conduct, and utilize his experiences to make a convincing story that assists individuals with bettering comprehend the information.

6. Machine Learning Scientist

Frequently, when you see the expression “researcher” in a task job, that demonstrates this work job requires doing research and thinking of new calculations and bits of knowledge. 

An AI researcher investigates new information controlling methodologies and plans new calculations to be utilized. They are regularly a piece of the R&D division, and their work generally prompts research papers. Their work is nearer to the scholarly world yet in an industry setting. 

Occupation job titles that can be utilized to portray AI researchers are Research Scientist or Research Engineer.

7. Machine Learning Engineer

AI engineers are on-request today. They should be extremely acquainted with the different AI calculations like bunching, arrangement, and characterization and are in the know regarding the most recent examination progresses in the field. 

To play out their work appropriately, AI engineers need to have solid insights and programming abilities notwithstanding some information on the essentials of programming. 

As well as planning and building AI frameworks, AI engineers need to run tests —, for example, A/B tests — and screen the various frameworks’ presentation and usefulness.

8. Business Intelligence Developer

Business Intelligence engineers — likewise called BI designers — are accountable for planning and creating systems that permit business clients to discover the data they need to settle on choices rapidly and effectively 

Beside that, they additionally should be truly happy with utilizing new BI instruments or planning custom ones that give examination and business bits of knowledge to comprehend their frameworks better. 

BI designer’s work is generally business-situated; that is the reason they need to have at any rate an essential comprehension of the basics of plans of action and how they are carried out.

 

9. Database Administrator

Now and then the group planning the data set and the one utilizing it are extraordinary. As of now, numerous organizations can plan a data set framework dependent on explicit business prerequisites. Nonetheless, the data set’s overseeing is finished by the organization purchasing the information base or requesting the plan. 

In such cases, each organization enlists an individual — or several to be responsible for dealing with the information base framework. An information base head will be accountable for checking the data set, ensuring it works appropriately, monitor the information follow, and make reinforcements and recuperations. 

They are likewise responsible for conceding various authorizations to various workers dependent on their work prerequisites and business level.

Is Data Science Still a Rising Career in 2021

Demand

On the off chance that you return years prior, the sparkling titles in the mid 2010s were developers and website specialists. The compensations for the two were extraordinary in those days, however have leveled since as supply found interest. 

That isn’t the situation for Data Scientists yet as request is still very high. 

There is an explanation that Data Scientist is in the main 3 for work rankings, and this is on the grounds that their interest is totally absurd and in no sight of easing back down.

Information driven dynamic. That is the straightforward response to this inquiry. To be a fruitful organization in the 21st century you need to utilize information for your potential benefit. 

Before many were doing this by utilizing dominate to investigate information, yet now anybody can approach and utilize information crunching apparatuses like: 

Google Analytics — Digital advertising cloud-based help 

Scene, Power Bi — Data representation apparatuses for business knowledge 

Python, R—Programming dialects used to perform confounded examination with a couple of lines of code 

The biggest organizations in the whole world are information science powered endeavors. Investigate Google, Amazon, and Facebook. Each utilization information science to make calculations that improve consumer loyalty and boost benefits. 

Google — Ranking of website pages to guarantee the top connections have a response to any ideal inquiry. 

Amazon — Recommendation of items dependent on purchaser’s past conduct and interests. 

Facebook — Targeted promotions (they know the games you like, favored cost range, food, and so on) to expand market achievement. 

Eventually, the fundamental explanation request is still high since, supposing that your rivals are depending on information driven dynamics and you’re not, they will outperform you and take your piece of the pie. 

Along these lines organizations need to adjust and utilize information science instruments and procedures or they will just be constrained bankrupt.

The supply of Data Scientists is low, and it’s because the field of data science is still relatively new even in 2021.

You see 20 years ago it was impossible to learn data science because of slow internet connection, and low computational primitive programming languages. As the years went on though, the power of computers started to grow exponentially and data science became possible.

This exponential growth and interest in the field were impossible to predict, and traditional education was not ready to meet the needs of those who wanted to learn this growing field.

Very few programs were created to educate aspiring Data Scientists. This shows as research suggests those who get into the field usually transition from other fields such as business, psychology, and life sciences.

Most who transitioned learned their skills through self-preparation by reading books, and taking online courses…

Employment Statistics

The individuals who get into information science enjoy the benefit of beginning a lifelong way where there are more open positions than qualified possibilities to fill them. 

Truth be told, information science occupations stay open 5 days longer than the normal for any remaining positions. This focuses on the way that there is less rivalry which brings about the enrollment specialists requiring additional chance to track down the right applicants. 

These right applicants are in karma as most will just need a four year certification to get recruited. The low inventory has come about in 61% of information researcher positions being accessible to those with a four year certification, while just 39% will require a graduate degree or a PhD.

Growth

In the event that you’ve been following this article along, you presumably have a decent supposition on the direction of the development of information science occupations. 

Per LinkedIn, there has been a 650% expansion in information science occupations since 2012. Glassdoor offers proof to this case as they had around 1700 occupation postings with information science being the essential job in 2016. That number rose to 4500 of every 2018, and kind of smoothed out in 2020 at around 6500. 

Coronavirus was the real issue in 2020, and apparently, the justification for this smoothing out. In general however tech occupations have demonstrated to be versatile during the pandemic, which is presently in its 10th month.

Teachers

To the one who is assiduous, 
Who makes students studious..
To the one who is diligent,
Who brings up children intelligent..
To the one who is earnest,
Who always gives the best..
To the one who is determined,
Who give rise to pupils with great mind..
To the one whose charm is unmatched,
Who gets everyone enthused..
To the one who mould clays into pots,
Wishing you a life that lasts long!!.

Teachers always play an important role in the future of countries, because they mould young minds into better citizens. A teacher is one who gives impact over the lives of his/her students. Teachers are also called as second parents as they take a vital role in disciplining the children. Children being young and innocent believe and trust their teachers with all their heart and mind. Teaching is the most sacrificial profession and the best part is this is the only field in which one can gain by yielding. They don’t keep anything for themselves instead they give all the knowledge they received. Sometimes a student can be more attached to a teacher than his/her family. A teacher is someone who can read the minds by looking at their face, and some teachers are like saviour for some children. There are teachers who support the families of needy children and there are teachers who take up the expenses of their students who cannot afford their educational fees. To some they are second parents and to some they are the God fathers and God mothers. Teachers have the responsibility of making up a better society. Huge thanks to all those teachers who gave sacrificial doctors, social workers, and people who work for the public amidst this pandemic. It’s a part that belongs to those teachers who gave brighter students with such good mind and heart.

Dreams

When you want to change many lives
There will be hurdles at every turns
When there is a thread of hope
Tied to your dream
And those dreams
Have dew drops frost on them
Then, strengthen your determination
That, your promise will never break
Every bit of you will serve the mother land
The rain of happiness will drench the soil
Self reliant we are
We praise to thee mother
We get better when we challenge ourselves
We praise to thee mother
