Media in India: Politics of regulation in a time of false News

The media plays a pertinent role by providing information which is indispensable for two reasons. Primarily, it ensures that citizens formulate proper and updated views by analysing the authentic and genuine facts as provided by media. Secondly, it provides information as a “checking function” by guaranteeing that the chosen government and its representatives act upon electoral promises.

Media thus plays a central role since it is the single means through which public opinion is engendered. The stability of a country is assessed by the way the media report the news of that country. Thus, it becomes the obligation of the media to circulate only applicable and valid facts locally and globally.

The role of media has been changing from what it was perceived. The neutrality of news in reporting is missing in the mainstream media today because of the hidden agendas that many press and media outlets hold.

 Media in India is mostly self-regulated.  The existing bodies for regulation of media such as the Press Council of India which is a statutory body and the News Broadcasting Standards Authority, a self-regulatory organization, issue standards which are more in the nature of guidelines.   Press Council of India established under the PCI Act of 1978 for the purpose of preserving the freedom of the press and of maintaining and improving the standards of newspapers and news agencies in India.

Even though the Constitution guarantees freedom of the press, the government does regulate some media. Print media are largely unregulated, and newspapers and magazines can print nearly anything as long as they don’t slander anyone. The Internet has also gone largely unregulated, despite congressional efforts to restrict some controversial content. Broadcast media, however, are subject to the most government regulation.

Decision-making power in the Indian media regulation is fairly centralized, with the central Government and ministries making the final calls when it comes to new policies and appointments. Politicians have a keen interest in news media regulation owing to the high degree of political ownership in the sector. Thus, political and electoral logic shapes media regulation.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the top of the decision-making list.  Modi follows a centralized decision-making model with significant power allotted to his Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Modi has been a vocal advocate of the use of online media for political mobilization, participation and propaganda. Key influencers in the Indian regulation include Mukesh Ambani, chairman of the Reliance Group of Industries, Amit Shah, an MP and current president of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Subhash Chandra, the chairman of Essel Group, Bennett Coleman & Co. Ltd (BCCL), which owns The Times of India.

WhatsApp has become the platform of choice for politicians because of its massive reach that goes beyond a party’s loyal voter base, but also because of the lack of gatekeepers. Messages forwarded through the system have no context about where they originate, but benefit from the trust of coming from a contact . . one of the BJP leaders denies the  spreading polarising content, but public  WhatsApp data collected by analysts and anecdotal evidence show that Indians are being flooded with propaganda memes, much of it anti-Muslim and critical of the opposition Congress party.

In April smriti Irani’s  ministry issued a circular saying that in order to fight the rise in fake news in print and electronic media, the government had decided that journalists who had complaints of creating/propagating fake news against them, would immediately have their press accreditation suspended.The following day, the Prime Minister’s Office asked her ministry to withdraw it.

Recently A picture of Vadra with the Chinese envoy. Both Republic TV and Times Now got excited enough over a picture of Robert Vadra to launch hashtags and primetime shows. Alt News had to give a video tutorial to Times Now and Republic TV to avoid such rookie mistakes. The picture was from a Chinese food festival that was also attended by India’s Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu, Sitaram Yechuri from CPIM, KC Tyagi from JDU and other leaders from BJP such as Tarun Vijay and Udit Raj. A quick google search could have avoided these channels the embarrassment though we suspect that they neither consider this as an embarrassment nor are they interested in the truth.

Similarly there was a statement attributed to Arundhati Roy – ‘’70 lakh Indian soldiers cannot defeat Azadi gang in Kashmir”  . A fake statement made in a non-existent interview during a trip that never took place was enough to launch prime time debates on Republic TV and CNN News 18 attacking Roy. The fake news had originated from some obscure Pakistani website called times of Islamabad

What followed was attack on Roy by BJP MP Paresh Rawal and prime time debates on the topic. Arnab Goswami called Roy a “one book whiner wonder” and continued to rant about his favorite topic of Lutyens media and pseudo liberals. An investigation by The Wire revealed the truth behind the fake outrage fueled by the news channels and this piece  by News laundry explored it further News laundry had republished an op-ed responding to Roy’s fake quote and it apologised for its editorial oversight and retracted the piece. There was no retraction or apology from Republic TV or CNN News 18 for attacking Roy based on fake news.

Indian media is grappling with many problems, but the country’s regulators fail to address them.

It took the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB), a key player in India’s media policy, two years and seven months to release public data that had been officially requested in 2015 by TheHoot.org, a website mapping media ownership in India. The ministry said that such data couldn’t be released as it was “third party information.” The ministry’s argument was just tosh as media companies have to reveal ownership data to qualify for a license to operate.

The episode epitomizes the excessively bureaucratic, politicized and clientelistic media regulation in India whose decisions have negative consequences for news media operations

Decision-making in matters related to the Indian media is riddled with political influence, regulatory parallelism and clashes over jurisdiction, involving not only decision-making authorities but also industry players,

Rasputin: The death that changed history

Mystics and holy men, some call them the voices of gods while some refer to them as shams and con-men who try to trick the gullible people of society. Whatever be the truth, the fact is that they have been influential in shaping history throughout the world since time immemorial. These kinds of people often gain a large popularity, are hailed as having the power of gods and yet like every other person, have skeletons on their closets. One such man who changed the course for the Russian monarchy is Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin, a Russian mystic and self-proclaimed holy man who befriended the family of Emperor Nicholas II, the last monarch of Russia, and gained considerable influence in late imperial Russia.

Born to a peasant family in rural Siberia, Rasputin lived an obscure life till adolescence and might have continued to do so had he not converted himself to the Russian Orthodox church. After being inspired by many of the wandering humble monks of his generation, Rasputin moved aimlessly from one holy site to another. He spent years of his life on pilgrimages across Russia, and along his travels he amassed a large following due to his charismatic and magnetic presence. He was even believed to have had the power of divination and healing. And despite his repetitive acts of petty theft, heavy drinking and over promiscuous nature with the ladies, he was hailed as a holy monk across Siberia, and he gained the attention of both the powerful orthodox clergymen and common people.  Once he finally reached St. Petersberg, he used his innate charisma and gained popularity and connections to win the favour of the imperial family’s spiritual advisor and soon wormed his way up and was introduced to the Tsar Nicholas II. He like all other “holy men” before and after him had the ability and know-how to milk every opportunity to the fullest. Like every opportunist mystic in the world, he researched about his targets and found out that the Tsar and his wife were devout believers of the supernatural and mysticism.  Rasputin cemented his control in the Tsar’s court by performing a “miracle”. The young heir to the throne had a disease known as hemophilia, a life-threatening blood disease. He refused to let the doctors administer anything to the heir and when Alexie’s health got better, he was hailed as a mystic with supernatural powers. What actually happened was that the doctors had prescribed him aspirin which worsens the hemophilia’s effect in the body, thus it seemed that the young heir got better. Thus, to cement his place of power, he proclaimed that should he die or be deserted the royal crown and their son would also disappear. Due to his increasing popularity in court and his ill habits of theft and skirt-chasing, the orthodox had begun to hate him and decided to have him killed prevent his further acts of corruption to the royal family and to stabilize the kingdom, not taking into account that to the public Rasputin was hailed as the public’s hero. In 1916, a group of nobles led by Felix Yusupov, tried to kill Rasputin by lacing his pastries with cyanide or so they thought as one of their co-conspirators had changed the poison with something harmless out of pity for Rasputin. As that plan failed, Yusupov shot Rasputin at point blank range, which again Rasputin miraculously survived and punched away his assailant and ran away. However, the group of noblemen gave chase and shot Rasputin dead and dumped his body in the Malaya Nevka river. However rather than stabilizing the kingdom, his death enraged the peasantry who were already on a boil from decades long political tensions within the area, saw this as the tipping point and took down the Tsar’s regime. As Rasputin prophesised his death was soon followed by the royal families. Thus, ended the tale of a monk who reshaped the Russian history.

SEX EDUCATION- still a taboo?

So here’s another theme one should be concerned about. Yes, whether you mention it as an orgasm or simply sex, this education is actually far broader than that. According to me, the lack of sex education results in Rape, sexual abuse, sexual assaults, and many such issues. Whenever we hear someone mumbling the word sex, we often become slightly uncomfortable and uneasy. A recent research from Columbia University’s Sexual Health Initiative to Foster Transformation (SHIFT) project implies that comprehensive sex education protects students from sexual assault even after high school. A survey by researchers at the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Making Caring Common initiative found that 65 percent of young-adult respondents wished they had talked about relationships at school. At some places when students study the chapter of Reproduction in biology, they are advised to operate different batches in coaching centers for boys and girls. This shows how uncomfortable and delusional students are about this issue.

What is sex education?

Sex education is high-quality teaching and learning about a broad variety of topics related to sex and sexuality. Various other aspects include safe sex, age of consent, reproductive health, emotional relations, etc. The increasing incidents of teenage pregnancy, in the mid 20th century, led to the introduction of sex education. Also, the eruption of an increasing number of cases in AIDS/ HIV led as a curtain-raiser towards sex education. Country like India has a massive population along with more no.of cases of sexual abuse, teen pregnancy.

According to SIECUS, the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, 93% of grown-ups researched support for sexuality education in high school, and 84% supported it in junior high school. In fact, 88% of the parents of junior high school students and 80% of parents of secondary school students conclude that sex education in school makes it simpler for them to talk to their adolescents about sex.

Being sex-positive.

This may take you to various meanings.

  • No more feeling ashamed and embarrassed talking about sex or sexuality. 
  • Behaving toward straight, bisexual, gay and lesbo the same.
  • No more tagging sex as a dirty thing.
  • Promoting sex education for safe intercourse.
  • Accepting one’s body.

The latest report by UNESCO on comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) points out the urgent need for imparting this education to young people to help them lead healthy and sexually satisfying lives.  Admitting how you were born, yes, of course, you are a result of intercourse.  How to be sex-positive:

  1. Undirty The Word ‘Sex’– Why treat it with shame? It’s a positive emotion so it has to be dealt with positivity. There’s nothing wrong about not being a virgin until it wasn’t forced.
  2. Treat ‘sex’ with respect– Making love is not a crime. Treating the thought of sex with respect can also change to help you being sex-positive.
  3. Reach out to your friends and discuss– This does not mean to ask random people about their intercourse. Maybe it would leave a negative impact. Talking and sharing ideas with dear ones will actually broaden the thinking about ‘sex’. 
  4. ‘No’ to dirty jokes– There’s always a difference between what sounds good and what’s dirty. Vulgarity should be eliminated and healthy sex jokes should be appreciated.

Mutuality and Maturity play a vital role in this education.

People usually talk about rapes and the root cause of such crimes. Of course, we can’t control this but we can educate the upcoming generations and broaden their circle of thinking. Proper sex education helps in dealing with such principles.

Effective Leadership


Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. Leaders help their team and organization make progress and act in the right way. They can be found at many levels in our communities, businesses, organizations, and in homes across the world. Good leaders should build a vision, set clear goals and directions, and map a dynamic path forward for their team or group. True leadership can be determined, observed and measured by others desire to follow. Leadership means that leaders work with their followers to achieve objectives that they all share. Establishing shared objectives that leaders and followers can consolidate is difficult but worth the effort. Leaders who are willing to expend time and effort in determining appropriate goals will find these goals achieved more effectively and easily if followers and leaders work together. Leader-imposed goals are generally harder and less effectively achieved than goals developed together. Also leadership tends to operate in groups. It is about influencing a group of people who are engaged in a common goal or purpose and works towards achieving their goals. Therefore, leadership is about directing a group of people toward the accomplishment of a task by working skillfully.

Leaders exert influence on the environment through the goals and performance standards they establish, the values they establish for the organization and the business and people concepts they establish. People want to be guided by leaders they respect and who have a clear sense of direction. Hence effective leadership requires certain important characteristics. These include:

1.To be an effective leader, you need to roll up your sleeves and take charge. They must have strong self-confidence and must be confident enough to ensure others follow him. This includes being confident enough to lead, knowing that your plans and vision are not only viable for the team but the absolute best decision possible.

2.If you’re in a leadership role, good communication skills are absolutely crucial. Being able to express yourself openly and build empathy with other people is the foundation of effective leadership. Good communication will increase the rate of work.

3.Integrity is a set of values about which we must never compromise, no matter the circumstances. \We must have a strong handle on those values is critical to the basis of trust and loyalty, and allows people to identify whether or not we are someone they want to follow. An honest leader succeeds when they stick to their word, live by their core values, lead by example, and follow-through. Without integrity, no real success if possible.

4.A good leader must be an excellent innovator. He must display a creative attitude in his work. Most noteworthy, innovation is a guarantee of survival of a group or innovation. Without creative thinking, progress is not possible.

5.Great leadership styles focus on problem-solving and team dynamics much more than self-promotion. A great leader will never be effective if they’re more concerned with themselves than with the well-being of their team. Being humble and vulnerable with their team members will make a leader much more relatable and effective.

Good leaders are made not born. If we have the desire and willpower, we can become an effective leader.

Rajyasabha elections…

The Constituent Assembly, which first met on 9 December 1946, acted as the Central Legislature till 1950, when it was converted as ‘Provisional Parliament’.

During this period, the Central Legislature which was known as Constituent Assembly (Legislative) and later Provisional
Parliament was unicameral till the first elections were held in 1952.

Extensive debate took place in the Constituent Assembly regarding the utility or otherwise of a
Second Chamber in Independent India and ultimately, it was decided to have a bicameral legislature
for independent India mainly because a federal system was considered to be most feasible form of Government for such a vast country with immense diversities.

A single directly elected House, in
fact, was considered inadequate to meet the challenges before free India. A second chamber known as the ‘Council of States’, therefore, was created with altogether different composition and method of election from that of the directly elected House of the People. It was conceived as another Chamber, with smaller membership than the Lok Sabha (House of the People). It was meant to be the federal chamber i.e., a House elected by the elected members of Assemblies of the States and
two Union Territories in which States were not given equal representation. Apart from the elected members, provision was also made for the nomination of twelve members to the House by the President.

The minimum age of thirty years was fixed for membership as against twenty-five years for the Lower House. The element of dignity and prestige was added to the Council of State House by making the Vice-President of India ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha who presides over its sittings.

Only elected members of the State Legislative Assemblies can vote in a Rajya Sabha election.

The legislators send a batch of new members to the Upper House every two years for a six-year term.

A third of Members of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha from each State retire once in two years and polls are held to fill up the vacancies.

Vacancies that arise due to resignation, death or disqualification are filled up through bypolls after
which those elected serve out the remainder of their predecessors’ term.

Polling for a Rajya Sabha election will be held only if the number of candidates exceeds the number of vacancies.
Since the strength of each party in the Assembly is known, it is not difficult to estimate the number of seats a party would win in the Rajya Sabha poll. Voting is by single transferable vote and on the principle of proportional representation.

The Rajya Sabha polls have a system of open ballot, but it is a limited form of openness.
As a measure to check rampant cross-voting, which was taken to mean that the vote had been purchased by corrupt means, the system of each party MLA showing his or her marked ballots to the party’s authorised agent, before they are put into the ballot box, has been introduced.

Showing a marked ballot to anyone other than one’s own party’s authorised agent will render the vote invalid.

Power of Positive Thinking ..!

Positive thinking sounds useful on the surface. Most of us would prefer to be positive rather than negative, but, “positive thinking” is also a soft and fluffy term that is easy to dismiss. In the real world, it rarely carries the same weight as words like “work ethic” or “persistence.”

But those views may be changing.

Research is beginning to reveal that positive thinking is about much more than just being happy or displaying an upbeat attitude. Positive thoughts can actually create real value in your life and help you build skills that last much longer than a smile.

The impact of positive thinking on your work, your health, and your life is being studied by people who are much smarter .

What Negative Thoughts Do to Your Brain

Let’s say that you’re walking through the forest and suddenly a tiger steps onto the path ahead of you. When this happens, your brain registers a negative emotion — in this case, fear.

Researchers have long known that negative emotions program your brain to do a specific action. When that tiger crosses your path, for example, you run. The rest of the world doesn’t matter. You are focused entirely on the tiger, the fear it creates, and how you can get away from it.

In other words, negative emotions narrow your mind and focus your thoughts. At that same moment, you might have the option to climb a tree, pick up a leaf, or grab a stick — but your brain ignores all of those options because they seem irrelevant when a tiger is standing in front of you.

This is a useful instinct if you’re trying to save life and limb, but in our modern society we don’t have to worry about stumbling across tigers in the wilderness. The problem is that your brain is still programmed to respond to negative emotions in the same way — by shutting off the outside world and limiting the options you see around you.

For example, when you’re in a fight with someone, your anger and emotion might consume you to the point where you can’t think about anything else. Or, when you are stressed out about everything you have to get done today, you may find it hard to actually start anything because you’re paralyzed by how long your to–do list has become. Or, if you feel bad about not exercising or not eating healthy, all you think about is how little willpower you have, how you’re lazy, and how you don’t have any motivation.

In each case, your brain closes off from the outside world and focuses on the negative emotions of fear, anger, and stress — just like it did with the tiger. Negative emotions prevent your brain from seeing the other options and choices that surround you. It’s your survival instinct.

What Positive Thoughts Do to Your Brain

 When you are experiencing positive emotions like joy, contentment, and love, you will see more possibilities in your life. These findings were among the first that proved that positive emotions broaden your sense of possibility and open your mind up to more options.

But that was just the beginning. The really interesting impact of positive thinking happens later…

How Positive Thinking Builds Your Skill Set

The benefits of positive thoughts don’t stop after a few minutes of good feelings subside. In fact, the biggest benefit that positive thoughts provide is an enhanced ability to build skills and develop resources for use later in life.

Let’s consider a real-world example.

A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move athletically , the ability to play with others and communicate with a team , and the ability to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills). In this way, the positive emotions of play and joy prompt the child to build skills that are useful and valuable in everyday life.

These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them. Years later, that foundation of athletic movement might develop into a scholarship as a college athlete or the communication skills may blossom into a job offer as a business manager. The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended, but the skills themselves live on.

As we discussed earlier, negative emotions do the opposite. Why? Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or danger (like the tiger on the path).

All of this research begs the most important question of all: if positive thinking is so useful for developing valuable skills and appreciating the Big Picture of life, how do you actually get yourself to be positive?

The Power of a Constraint You Believe In

Every decision is made within some type of constraint. Maybe it’s how much knowledge you have. Maybe it’s how much money you have. Maybe it’s how many resources you have. Why not what values you have?

Making better choices is often a matter of choosing better constraints. By limiting your options to those that fit your values, you are taking an important step to ensuring that your behavior matches your beliefs.

Know your principles and you can choose your methods.

How to Put This Into Practice

Most people never take the time to think about their values, write them down, and clarify them. Maybe it sounds too simple or unnecessary. keep pushing. Don’t chalk things up to “just a dream.” It can be something small like making it to the gym or something big like buying that one-way ticket to Buenos Aires, but if you keep pushing enough, it’s going to be a reality instead of a dream.

Dil Bechara : The Last Magic

Once again the world will witness the death of Sushant Singh Rajput in his last project Dil Bechara. It is the official hindi remake of 2014 Hollywood romantic drama ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ which was based on John Green’s popular novel of the same name.


The Fault in Our Stars is Green’s fourth solo novel, and sixth novel overall. It was published on January 10, 2012. The title is inspired by Act 1, Scene 2 of Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, in which the nobleman Cassius says to Brutus: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, / But in ourselves, that we are underlings.”


If you are someone who has already read the book or has watched the original movie, then you must be knowing that it is a story of two cancer patients Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters who met at a cancer support group and embark on an unforgettable journey.


The movie stars Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi as the main leads who will play the role of Augustus Waters known as Mannie in the movie and role of Hazel Grace known as kizie in the movie respectively.


Dil Bechara will mark the directorial debut of Mukesh Chhabra. The hindi adaptation of the movie was done by Shashank Khaitan and Suprotim Sengupta and this adaptation ages up the characters and changes the main setting to India. Amitabh Bhattacharya has given the lyrics and A.R Rahman has given music to the movie. The movie is produced by India’s Fox Star Studios.


Due to COVID-19 pandemic it won’t be possible for us to watch this great work of a equally great actor on the big screen. Even the fans demanded on Twitter to release Dil Bechara on the big screen so they can watch the last work of this amazing personality for one last time but the cinema halls aren’t going to open soon because of the pandemic so the producers have decided to release it on the OTT platform Disney+Hotstar on 24 July 2020. It will be available to both subscribers and non subscribers in honour of Sushant Singh Rajput’s memory.


We never thought that we would watch Dil Bechara in the permanent absence of Sushant. He would have impressed us a little more with his intellectual and candid comments in the promotional events of the movie but all that is not going to happen because he left us with his extraordinary performance.

This is too tragic to accept that after this movie we will not see him any longer on the big screen.We will not see any new posts and stories on Instagram with his killer looks, any new tweets on Twitter.


The exceptional work which has done in little span of time will be remembered forever and the diverse roles which he has played in his eleven movies and two shows will keep him alive until this industry exists. The future generation will know that a middle class boy who became a star without any godfather in this cruel industry lost his life to nepotism and favouritism.

Make your children good decision makers….

We usually think children shouldn’t take decision, as they are small and they don’t know what is right and what is wrong and we wait till they mature and make them include in the decision making, but we forgot if we suddenly force them to take decision, how will they take without any prior experience pr anything.

So it is necessary to let the child involve in decision making since childhood. Teaching your child to make their own decisions has several benefits. If you led them to take small decisions, and when they make good decisions, they gain a great amount of satisfaction and fulfilment because they chose it and if they take wrong decision they may suffer, but they can learn from it and they can make better decisions in future. It doesn’t mean that you give your child the complete freedom of decision making. It may be dangerous sometimes. Give your child freedom to make some decision based on their age, maturity and previous decision making abilities.

To help the child with decision making first educate the about it a little bit. Start withbsome steps if he had done homework of his own so is it a good choice or a bad choice, similarly helped you in household chores. So we can talk about various decisions which led them to think.

Teach them to pause and think before taking a decision. A few second of thinking prevent a lot of bad decisions. Guide them while thinking about options they have and also evaluate the consequences. They need to weigh thr risks and benefits of their decisions both in the short term and long term. Then led them to act upon the best options and allow them to from the experience whether the decision was good or bad.

Allow them to sometime take the decision of their own, which you think may not harm the children. Give them the opportunity to think about their decision, do not overreact on their decision and allow them to learn from their mistakes.

So it is necessary for parents to guide and help their children in developing good decision making skills so that they will grow up and become an independent, responsible and happy adult.

Success comes from hard-work

We all want success. Every person you see around yourself, be it your mom, your dad, your siblings or friends. Everyone strives for success and would love to have it. 

It is one of those things that will never be enough to satisfy a person. We all somewhere want that constant dose of dopamine in life. 

Success comes in various forms. It can be in the form of money, fame, love, respect etc. any kind of achievement that one has worked for can be counted as true success. Unfortunately, success doesn’t come easy. 

We all know the majority of people who live in this world are unsuccessful. And often we get upset over failing at something. Whether it is a relationship, or a job, or any type of task, failure always makes us upset. 

But while being upset about something is natural and understandable, it often makes us ignore the bright sides of it. There is always something to learn from your unsuccessful attempts which we usually forget about and do not pay attention to because we are too contained by the depression that comes with it. But if that lesson is learnt you can not only have a better attempt next time but it also matures you know broadens your knowledge. 

Let us look at an ant as an example. An ant is a very persistent insect, it may fall from a wall a hundred times but still doesnt give up. It continues to try to get over it’s obstacles and eventually after many many attempts it gets its win. We should take inspiration from this amazing insect, even after failing numerous times it continues to put effort towards it and never gives up. While us humans are no way near like that, most of us quit after a few unsuccessful attempts and then give excuses. 

Success is an old school building. There is no elevator that would get you to the top. In order to succeed in any field. We have to put continuous effort and climb the ladders. Which is always the toughest part as it takes a tremendous amount of courage and determination to keep trying even after a few unsuccessful attempts. Any successful man in the world has worked tremendously hard for it for years and each one of them failed many times as well but the difference is they kept trying. 

 Here are some of the key points you will need in order to succeed-

1- Be consistent- Brushing your teeth for 1 hr one day would barely make any difference but brushing them for 2 minutes for 30 days will make a way more significant difference. 

2- Learn from your mistakes- Your mistakes are your stepping stones to success, do not stop at one. Learn from them and keep trying. 

3- Hard-Work- Do not be lazy about your goals. If you want to achieve them, the only way is working hard. Success does not land in your balcony ,you have to go and get it 

Turn these three tips into habits and eventually, slowly but surely, you will achieve your goals.

Sanskrit:The new language for computer programming!

Sanskrit is the world’s strongest logical language, one of the oldest language and it was one of the major languages of India but now is a minority language. It’s known as the perfect language and is also known as mother of all modern languages. It’s the language of Gods in India.

It’s an Indic language and holds a significant value till date all over the world, our vedic scripts were written in Sanskrit and there was a time when Sanskrit was even used as a language during conversations, Sanskrit is the official language of Uttarakhand and is very close to every Indian’s heart. Even some of the major texts of Jainism and Buddhism have been written in Sanskrit.

Though it is being understated now and its use is decreasing day by day but experts say it can be the new language which will be needed in technological advances. The structure of Sanskrit is very logical and the precision it offers cannot be matched by any other language due to which it is considered as a god language for computer programming.

Sanskrit is one of the most ancient languages and it is said that the earliest literature was written in Sanskrit. Initially Sanskrit was said to have no traces in the form of written manuscripts, it was widely spoken, it was around 250 years back that people started writing in Sanskrit in their own respective script, hence Sanskrit scripts have been written in various languages and hence Sanskrit is said to have no official (default) script.

Sanskrit is one of the most phonetically sound languages and it has said to improve one’s learning e of Sanskrit skills and speech, many speech therapists make use of Sanskrit while working with different clients and  also teachers include Sanskrit as part of school curriculum as it is said to improve brain functioning and has many other benefits.

It’s one of the most sacred languages in the Indian culture and one mostly gets to hear recitations in Sanskrit during holy rituals or wedding ceremonies and it is said to have a an soothing and calming effect on our minds due to the vibrations it produces. In India many schools have abided to teaching Sanskrit as the third language in their school curriculum which is an advantageous move as people have slowly withered away from their mother language and it is going unappreciated, especially with the new generation, most of them are clueless about the importance of Sanskrit and the opportunities it has to offer.

According to many experts Sanskrit is the best language for computer programming and also for artificial intelligence, due to its precision and logical base and also because of certain characteristics it poses as a good option as it can be converted into a machine language and can enhance the working of artificial intelligence. This was stated by Rick Briggs who published his paper in 1985, he was an associate scientist working for NASA and he stated that the strict grammar rules of Sanskrit allow for easy conversion and reduces ambiguity when it comes to the use of the language.

Sanskrit as a language holds a lot of value be it one of the best languages for computer programming or one of the most logical languages to be learnt. It is somewhere or the other going unnoticed in its own country and needs to be uplifted by us!

Carnegie tells a story of this guy in World War 2 who’s stuck in a submarine and basically knows that he’ll be dying in the next few hours and he sits there thinking about all the stuff he used to worry about at home and how absurd it was and makes a promise to never waste his life again like that if he survives now that might be hard to resonate with so let me give you a more contemporary example people are having their heads chopped off every single day every single day the only reason it’s not you is because you are born in a certain place. They weren’t that’s it now going back to my friend I told him look here’s what I want you to do every day you will start your morning by watching somebody’s head being chopped off and then you’ll go about the rest of the day.
He started freaking out about how he can’t do that and how he doesn’t like blood and whatever now here’s the thing. I know that’s really crass and morbid but I don’t care if you don’t worry about stuff great you don’t have to watch anything but if you’re worried about stupid all the time you have a disease so you either treat yourself or you never ask about how you can stop worrying again ever. Here’s what I will guarantee you if you start your day by watching someone else have their head chopped off nothing and I mean absolutely nothing could possibly happen to you for the rest of the day that you could get pissed off about and not feel like a complete retard yes when you’ve seen someone’s head chopped off you will have a weird feeling inside you as soon as you start to complain about how you deserve to be paid more at your job or what you’re going to do now since you bought a B+ rather than an A or how your washer is broken you’ll realize that.

If the guy had been given the chance to live and wear that same dirty shirt for the rest of his life without ever being able to wash it he would have been the happiest man alive realize the absurdity of it all the third big idea staying busy now I don’t mean the average busy person actually those are the people that worry the foremost the guy who works 12-hour days then comes home and watches Fox all night worrying about whether some guy can marry another guy or about all the foreigners who will come and take his job you know because he’s the only one entitled to that job I’m not talking about that kind of busy here’s how I like to stay busy read a book that I like go to the gym with my girlfriend play around on the piano and compose cook amazing food work on a project. I’m passionate about now here’s what happens when you do that your brain can’t think of two things at one time it just doesn’t have that capability you can try right now if you want you can’t think of your broken washing machine and at the same time think of how much you love playing soccer it’s not how your brain works so the best way to get rid of the negative thoughts in your head is to actually start putting positive thoughts in there get busy with what you love and your brain simply won’t even have the power to stress . Finally, a question that really resonated with me here’s what you’re going to do in your life you’re going to work and worry your entire life so you can gather a bunch of stuff like your house and all the stupid.

If you’re lucky after 50 years of all that worry and stress all of your stuff could be worth 1,000,000 dollars here’s the question would you sell your legs for a million dollars let me ask you this would you sell your legs for a billion dollars I wouldn’t and you probably wouldn’t either would you sell your arms for another billion dollars no there you go you have already got something that you simply value at two billion dollars actually hopefully more but you do not need to be all Zen you could be a greedy capitalist like me and understand this now here’s what you’re going to do you’re going to ignore and not utilize something worth two billion dollars because you’re too busy worrying and stressing about the things that might amount to 1 million dollars at the end of your life oh and you’ll be considered really lucky if that happens by the way all right.

So, I don’t know if you’re seeing how crazy that is but that’s kind of like having a huge mansion a personal jet every single car you ever wished for and not using and enjoying those things because you’re too worried about at some point having the ability to shop for a Corolla that’s crazy and sad you have already got everything that you value at billions and billions of dollars so stop ignoring wasting and treating it like for hours and days so you can worry and bitch about how your phone bill went up from a hundred dollars to a hundred and twenty.

Stray Dogs Stressed Out: The Pandemic Effect

We generally tend to think that only people are in distress for the outbreak of COVID-19. But stray animals are also very much affected due to it particularly during the lockdown. They all were left hungry for several days. Social distancing and restrictive lockdown measures forced people to stay home. This led to the neglect of stray animals in the country. In many cases they are subject to violence— from physical assault to murder. There are over thirty five million free roaming dogs in India. Shutdown of the most vital sources of food, such as restaurants, roadside eateries and markets, deprived them of leftover. Did some of us think about them? When many were struggling with decline in income and even loss of jobs they did not have a chance to think about the stray creatures. Their only source of food were garbage bins and some good Samaritans who ventured out to feed them.

Many hungry stray dogs fell sick amidst the lockdown. The dog-loving locals could not get them to veterinary hospitals due to the restrictions in movement. There was no dedicated ambulance available for them. It forced them to die on roads without any medical help. Puppies who were few days old died mainly because of lack of proper nutrition. Accidents by speeding cars on roads where stray dogs would venture out to look for food from their localities would cause their death. The irregular and uncertain food supply would lead to aggressive behaviour and biting incidents in some stray dogs. This resulted in an increase in rabies infected dogs. India already has the world’s greatest number of rabies cases— 20,000 annually.

At one point a rumour became viral that the dreaded coronavirus can be transmitted through stray animals. The news was found to be fake. But many people thought it to be true. Even some who were helping them out with food started neglecting them. Worse still, some owners discarded their pets to stay protected. Animal welfare NGOs found a rise in rescue cases during the pandemic. The stubborn dog lovers began to face harassment for feeding neighbourhood dogs and cats. There are cases in which volunteers were beaten up by the locals for daring to care about the stray dogs. Some people took the law in their hands to vent anger against stray dogs.

We have seen how much nature changed during the pandemic. People could hear more of birds chirping, see few animals roaming freely on roads. Most animals stay happy on their own— without the human presence. But dogs are an exception. That is why they are called ‘man’s best friend’. Those who are habituated to human touch are missing the feeding, patting and attention towards them. It also affects their mental health. Some dogs are confused, feel betrayed and become depressed. Stray dogs need us not only for food but also for mental support.

Each one of us can also contribute in our own way to protect and help local stray animals. We may reach out to as many of them as possible. We may follow some steps to help them:

  • To take or share responsibilities of local dogs/cats.
  • To save some rice or milk and feed them at a fixed time every day.
  • To keep a bowl of water outside our house to quench their thirst.
  • To donate some grains or food or any other necessary items to animal welfare NGOs.
  • To use a bowl or newspaper to feed them regularly.
  • To quickly contact nearest police station or contact NGO to seek help for any helpless or sick animal.
  • Not to feed them chocolate or anything cooked with ghee or butter.

There is a positive trend now among many in India to have stray dogs as pets. The obsession with having only high breed dogs seems to be offset by having stray dog as family member. Even if not everyone would like to have them as pets a little more caring attitude towards them makes a world of difference not only in their life but also in ours.

CHAOTIC MIND!

What will be your reaction if I start my story with “once upon a time?”

Oh too old and boring it would be. If you ever listened too close to silence you might have heard the ringing between two adjacent words, “unspoken spells”.

Truth isn’t always the most exciting version of things or the best or the worst; it’s in between somewhere! Deserves to be heard and yet remains unspoken. In this chaotic story of mine

Wondering what does the theory say: Maybe it isn’t exactly about Chaos but a tiny little change in a big system that changes everything! Or maybe it’s just an illustration my mind giving to my heart preventing it from sinking deep down some yards!

Watching life closely, it seemed like no Matter what I did, I kept letting people down. And what does that feels like, it feels like nothing LIKE A DEEP, ENDLESS, ALWAYS BLANK NOTHING!

“Soap VS Sanitizer – What Experts Believe?”

Today’s is a time when we humans are living with a pandemic which is growing all over the world. People are getting infected and dying in numbers and it’s count seeing no end. This virus has been named as Corona or Covid-19. This virus infects a person leading him/ her to high fever, cough and lack in breathing. This surely affects the respiratory system of humans, and thus spreads. Since we know that these viruses do require a host to survive, and when they get so, they just multiply. This is a virus which can spread through touch, so mostly advise to maintain a distance of 1 metre or more while talking with a person. But What doctors are so concerned with is the fact that these viruses are going through mutations and are mutating as they spread from one person to another. This surely is a sign of concern, this not only changes the DNA of the virus but also can make it difficult to track  the presence of the virus, since the technique must not be able to catch the virus, as it has evolved, thus the virus may be present even if any individual test negative. So what can be done to prohibit and remain safe from this deadliest virus. 

Doctors advise to maintain a distance of 1 metre or more while talking, use a handkerchief while sneezing or coughing and frequently wash hands with soap or sanitizer. But one of the frequently asked questions by patients and other individuals is which is better Soap or Sanitizer? 

So to test  and investigate the effectiveness of these  two and figure out which is better, did an experiment. They included and worked on  two scenarios. 

  1. Washing hands with sanitizer 
  2. Washing hands with the soap. 

Doctors in the microbiology lab experimented the effectiveness of E. Coli bacteria. They rubbed their hands with the bacteria and then  hands were runned on the plates, thus leaving hand impacts which were filled with bacteria. Then they washed their hands with the sanitizer but a very small quantity. Then again with a new simple but with a heavy quantity of sanitizer and the same results were recorded. The second scenario was to rub hands in E. Coli and wash hands with soap. Similar experiment was done, first washing hands for merely 10 seconds and second time for more than 30 seconds.The plates were then set to rest for 24 hours and then results were recorded. 

The results were really amazing, hand sanitizer with much of a quantity removed almost all the bacteria than with the little quantity. Same was the case with the soap, the time period of rubbing hands for. More than 30 seconds helped remove more of the bacteria than just running and washing away. But the interesting fact to record was that sanitizer is able to remove almost all the bacteria and clean our hands as compared to soap which helps some of bacteria still intact with the patch. 

“So sanitizer as per experts, doctors and scientists are much more effective as compared to soaps. It’s better to use sanitizer anyway since every drop of it remains untouched and pure and thus is an effective way out to stay away from bacteria and virus and thus stay safe“

The Real Face of Current Situation @India 2020 ………//////

It seems like a huge mountain is fall in our countries head! This is the statement which almost every citizen of our country is saying and it’s true somewhere but the real fact is by here or there we only are responsible for it. Now the question how we are responsible? Will raise like a sun and will jump like a rat in empty stomach in your head until you will not get the answer so in this article I will let to understand each and every single point so that the rat of your empty stomach will remain till your stomach only.

Starting from the biggest threat of the world CORONAVIRUS or COVID 19 VIRUS  so after having a big discussion we all know that from where this virus is came as nobody can hide the truth no matter how big and powerful you are. Today we are talking about India so just focus on the situation of coronavirus in India. We got the first case of corona virus on 30 January 2020 in Kerala which later increase and now we can let’s just pray as the vaccine is not yet discovered and don’t know how much time it will take and by that time how much will left uninfected. Let’s just pray for the best!

You will say why I am writing so negative but I must tell you that it’s not the think to become blindly positive it’s the thing to become preventive. Yes blindly positive and I am using this word because I can see a huge clusters of peoples roaming without mask and eating the street food in street stall by being blindly positive that the corona can’t infect me it seems like covid had signed any contract with them that you just roam in the way you want I will not infect you my majesty; like they had got Chirag-a-Aladdin to fight against the Corona.

After seeing this condition the question which arises in my mind is from where these people got the power to become so blindly positive and the answer which I got is our “respective honourable blind system”  for whom the condition becomes very critical and reaches in its top level when we see cases in thousands and the daily report was in hundreds and now when the condition is totally opposite when we see daily report in thousand, total in Lakh and every state has its own daily hundred then according to our honourable respective system ‘We are doing well, the condition is becoming normal’. I don’t know which normal they are talking about because the ‘normal’ which is there in my dictionary means the condition is improving and far apart I can’t see the even the ‘n’ of ‘normal’.

Do you know who is responsible in bringing corona to our country? Yes we can’t blame one personality or any authority but you all only think of the answer as you all are smart enough I will just tell you’ll some facts and reality. We know that the first case of Covid-19 was detected in November 2019 and the first case in India was detected in 30 January 2020 so that means there was a gap of 2 month so what India has planned in 2 months. What? The trip of Ahmedabad? Because there was no preventative measures was taken during those 2 months, as everyday international flights lands India and there was no checking of those travellers as there was many more and more important things which our government wants to held like in January at Delhi and in February at Ahmedabad. I think you all know about it.

Actually our System wake up when the India starts infected and they put whole India in sleep because that time we are facing a very critical situation which is become normal nowadays remember “normal” and do you know now international flights are also started seems like a Movie is going on where we are running from the reality and only telling lie from ourselves and to their citizens. I think Now it’s our time to wake up because when have seen what our government have done when they wake up. It’s our time to open our eyes and see the real of the condition of our country which can’t be expressed.

Stop being Blind Devotee of anyone first hears them, then use your brain, think that it’s wrong or right and then follow it. Stop being a blind follower otherwise you and our beautiful country will be in big trouble and nobody will come to save us.

So Wake up and See the reality and just remember it is just a big stone of that mountain which I have talked earlier. So I be back soon with another stone of that mountain. Till than is Safe in reality; Stop blindly following anyone, Keeps your Senses open and Be Awake.
