Emotional intelligence- Aman Sharma

Emotional intelligence.

Trying to accomplish grand objectives is solid, as long as it doesn’t get devastating. There is a truism: “Don’t let flawlessness impede progress.”

I would say in programming advancement through different jobs and as CTO at Clearbridge Versatile, I’ve discovered that this expression resounds. Spry advancement places incredible accentuation on emphasis, or bombing quick so you can learn, adjust, and improve rapidly and consistently. Hairsplitting really blocks your capacity to turn out to be better.

Numerous parts of perfectionistic thinking, similar to the dread of committing errors and embracing a win or bust outlook, are not gainful learning devices, and looking for flawlessness in each undertaking won’t assist us with accomplishing item objectives.

Through the act of enthusiastic insight, we find out about our qualities – and maybe more critically, our cutoff points – and how to expand them by gaining from botches and conquering difficulties. By ascending to trouble and in any event, falling flat, we figure out how to accomplish our best work.

This article will investigate four aspects of passionate knowledge, how to use them to accomplish objectives, and how they can decrease the stickler conduct and thought designs that are hindering to nimble groups.

Be interested

Genuinely clever people have a functioning feeling of interest. They investigate additional opportunities, pose inquiries, and are available to different arrangements. On the off chance that we submit to stickler thought designs, it’s anything but difficult to get over the top about getting a profoundly explicit or solitary presentation result. We put blinders on and shut out the learning procedure required at showing up at an objective.

At the point when we’re on an objective way, it’s fundamental to inquisitively investigate the procedure of objective achievement with the goal that we can course-address when we face obstructions. By being interested, we’re caused mindful of different alternatives and bearings to take to accomplish our objectives. Be that as it may, to do this, we have to oppose win big or bust reasoning and be available to changing our objective direction. In a dexterous situation, it’s fundamental to modify when the startling happens.

Is it true that you are defining execution objectives as it were? Learning objectives move our core interest.

We can’t totally overlook execution objectives. In our professions, we unavoidably face quantifiable execution results to get (increment time-to-showcase by 30 percent or lessen costs by 10 percent, for instance). Learning objectives, in any case, move our concentration from the final product to the way toward learning the best way to deal with objective fulfillment. Except if the presentation result has critical outcomes to a venture, I recommend moving toward objectives with a learning direction at whatever point conceivable.

Examination with new techniques, monitor progress, and continue emphasizing until you locate the most encouraging arrangement. Endeavoring to convey immaculate outcomes will just keep you away from learning better approaches for accomplishing objectives. You have to realize when to turn to the following arrangement, and comprehend that plans won’t run without shortcoming – which carries me to the following part of passionate knowledge to incorporate with your range of abilities: industriousness.

Be tenacious despite disappointment

There are incalculable disappointments remaining among us and our objectives. A portion of these disappointments are unavoidable, while others are of our own creation: botches, mishaps, outer conditions, or tarrying, for instance. Regardless, we will confront disappointment on our approach to accomplishing objectives.

In any case, sincerely astute people and the best programming designers endure, paying little heed to any disappointment they experience. Genuinely shrewd individuals realize how to function through disappointment since they’re equipped for controlling their feelings, remaining positive under tension, and quieting themselves in the midst of vexation.

Disregarding that, on the off chance that we offer approach to compulsiveness, we will in general dread missteps. We’re additionally bound to alter objectives to make them simpler when we face misfortunes, just as draw out hesitation – in light of the fact that we can’t come up short at something we haven’t began. Utilizing enthusiastic knowledge to battle disappointment includes self-guideline as well as requires creating or fortifying resolve.

At the point when we have certainty that objectives are feasible, we can allow ourselves to be flawed.

Creating determination can help ease perfectionistic propensities and thought designs by developing self-assurance. Individuals who accept they can achieve something advantageous outflank the individuals who suspect something. At the point when we have certainty that specific objectives are feasible, we can allow ourselves to be flawed in light of the fact that we accept we’re fit for accomplishment paying little mind to hindrances en route.

Once more, in programming advancement, you have to acknowledge defect. While being available to disappointment is baffling, rehearsing the flop quick technique permits advancement groups to discover and address deserts sooner. That implies less bugs go into creation, which prompts excellent, creation prepared programming.

The story of a depressed Teen

I don’t know why am I failing everytime. Is it my overconfidence or lack of confidence. I don’t have a luck or I have a bad luck. Every exam I gave till now is a failure. It’s definitely my lack of work and trying nothing and waiting for the luck. If I can’t do then, it’s better if I hope for the luck, but I can do if I wanna do but still I do nothing and blame it on luck.

I am too depressed to hear it and trying to be happy but my mind is revolving around it. I can’t do anything from moving on. If it’s one failure then it would be easier but failure after failure is hitting me back without time for me to recover. My mother tried to figure out that I am sad even though I tried to cover my face up. That’s what may be true love meant. My heart is aching and I can’t believe the fact that I failed and I am slowly loosing confidence in me and reaching to a fatal state.

I have no one to tell and trying to reduce my pain by writing here. I am hoping to regain my confidence back because that’s only thing that make us sustain in this cruel world. I had thought of many times to work hard and it remained as a thought itself. Lot of failures had surrounded me and the test that I attempted are merely a train of failures. I blame it on luck and again stopped to work hard. I realised that the only thing that I had to do is hard work and there is no short cut.

I have a fear of failure and if I fail then I can easily blame it to some other reason and escape from that blame on me. If I can’t work then I don’t get a work. All these days I believed in luck by working nothing. I will work because I never saw these many failures. If I couldn’t work now then definitely I will loose my confidence and will treat me as a failure. Hope atleast I will work from now. Hope I would have a better future if I work in a featured manner.

Proof as to verification of Digital Signature

What is an Digital Signature ?
It is evident that the cognizance of the concept of E-signature has sprouted in different modern state legislations, giving meaning & moulding its definition to be accustomed to its socio-political structural norms. Below are a few definitions devised by foreign legislative assemblies.
In order to ascertain whether a signature, writing or seal is that of the person by whom it purports to have been written or made, any signature, writing, or seal admitted or proved to the satisfaction of the Court to have been written or made by that person may be compared with the one which is to be proved, although that signature, writing, or seal has not been produced or proved for any other purpose.

Section 73A In order to ascertain whether a digital signature is that of the person by whom it purports to have been affixed, the court may direct-
that person or the Controller or the Certifying Authority to produce the Digital Signature Certificate,
any other person to apply the public key listed in the Digital Signature Certificate and verify the digital signature purported to have been affixed by the person.
Explanation.- For the purpose of this section “Controller” means the Controller appointed under sub-section (1) of section 17 of the Information Technology Act, 2000.] This section consists of two parts. First part provides for comparison of signature, writing, figure etc. purporting to have been written or made by a person with other admitted or proved signature, writing, figure etc. by the court to have been written signed or made by the same person. Second part empowers the court to direct the person to appear before it and to give his specimen signature or writing for the purpose of evaluating the disputed signature, writing, figure etc.
Indian law has recognised digital signatures, or e-signatures, under the Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act) for over 16 years. With its increased emphasis on improving the ease of doing business; streamlining the storage of records; and improving the safety, security, and cost- effectiveness of records, the Government of India has promoted the use of digital technologies by Indian citizens and corporations. As a result, there has been a recent increase in the use of e-signatures, with more and more services using them. This, in part, is due to the government’s focus on enabling electronic transactions using Aadhaar, the unique identification number issued by the Indian government to all Indian residents. Indian law treats electronic signatures as equivalent to physical signatures, subject to a few exceptions, and generally allows documents to be signed using e-signatures. However, the e-signature must satisfy a number of conditions, and certain checks must be done before it can be relied upon.

Section 73: Penalty for publishing electronic Signature Certificate false in certain particulars
(a) No person shall publish a Electronic Signature Certificate or otherwise make it available to any other person with the knowledge that the Certifying Authority listed in the certificate has not issued it,
(b) the subscriber listed in the certificate has not accepted it,
(c) the certificate has been revoked or suspended, unless such publication is for the purpose of verifying a digital signature created prior to such suspension or revocation
Any person who contravenes the provisions of sub-section (1) shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine which may extend to one lakh rupees, or with both.
Background
The concepts of E-signatures and digital signatures are results of gaining eminence of revolution of information technology which embarked its journey from the late 18th century. Many states with evolving times have given due recognition to its applicability & operationality in their jurisdictions.
In the US, before the proclamation of the “American Civil War” in 1861, the usage of the Morse Code had been primarily for espionage purposes but was also intended for the enforceability of contracts. The first landmark judgment accepting the enforceability of telegraphic messages as electronic signatures was observed by the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
Thereafter there has been a flurry of modern legislation in western states such as in Canada, US, Russia, China, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, UK & gradually all across the globe.
In 1996 the United Nations with a majority passing resolution enacted UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Commerce. In 2001, UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Signatures was passed which has been adopted by 30 states in their jurisdictions. The most recent step towards the international recognition of E-signature is the United Nations Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications in International Contracts, 2005, which gives the option to the contracting parties to give effect to the agreement by E-signature subject to the condition that a reliable method is used to identify & indicate the intention of the parties.
The first agreement signed electronically by two sovereign nations was a Joint Communique recognizing the growing importance of the promotion of electronic commerce, signed by the United States and Ireland in 1998.
Conclusion
While technically a Tiered E-Signature Legal Model Country, India has not created specific technical requirements, procedures and practices to implement a QES (Qualified Electronic Signature, or ‘Secure Electronic Signature’ in the Indian legal definition) system. Therefore, no practical application of QES in India exists. In practice, a hard requirement for a theoretical QES would only apply to the limited use case exceptions already discussed if such a signature type existed. The Government of India has introduced a new QES whereby the person who has an official identity card issued by the Government (Aadhar) is able to authenticate a document using the Aadhar eKYC services. Through the interface provided by the Application Service Provider (ASP), users can apply electronic signatures on any electronic content by authenticating themselves through biometric or OTP using Trusted Third Party (TTP) Aadhaar eKYC services through an eSign Service Provider. The interfaces are provided to users on a variety of devices such as computer, mobile phone etc. At the backend, the eSign service provider facilitates key pair generation and the Certifying Authority issues a Digital Signature Certificate. The eSign Service Provider facilitates creation of the Digital Signature of the user for the document which will be applied to the document on acceptance by the user.

Superstition

By Tushar Soni

“Superstition is the death of a thinking mind”.

The interpretation of the ‘superstition’ dictionary is a more credible belief, an irrational fear of irreverence or misunderstanding, misunderstood ‘. It is completely unsatisfactory, because it fails to put proper emphasis on the catastrophic effects of beliefs and beliefs on the lives of large numbers of people worldwide – even today. Superstitions do nothing, but they can hurt. It can destroy the lives of those who find a fortress upon him.
Superstitions come from ancient animism that can be described as false religion. While all major world religions have some element of superstition about them, especially at the beginning, their basic teachings are rooted in the personal leadership they create and in all cases tend to set one’s soul and mind free of fear and prejudice. The animism, however – still being adopted in tropical Africa and remote parts of Asia – is completely different. It is based on the false notion that every element of nature has its familiar spirit, and in order to live in harmony with nature, the individual is committed to pleasing the owner of false gods. Life becomes a series of ‘restricted boundaries’ and there can be no hope of improvement, because those minds suffer from this abuse daily and nightly. What are some of these effects? Here are a few examples.

Many ancient peoples engage in fear of the dark. Jews in biblical times and Native Americans in the 19th century were victims of alien robbers. many thousands were killed because they refused to offend the ‘night winds’ by fighting back in the dark. Toda, in a tropical region of Africa, caused much animosity in the remote forest villages because of superstition. The fertility beliefs and rituals of women’s and teenage pregnancy and adolescence undermine the meaning – and all of this is done to confirm the ‘production’ of a man and the ‘man’ of man, as a need for the right spirit. Citizens who are extremely intelligent and less scared, raise money by fearing their own people, by dropping out the necessary donations and making the necessary ceremony – all for the sake of making money. The town can easily believe in the policies– not only by paying taxes, but also because people are afraid to take reasonable steps to improve their situation for fear of offending the spirits. When a new line of fish was built near Accra in Ghana as part of a lucrative development program, locals spend thousands of pounds of sacrifices to enrich the local ‘sea gods,’ for fear their catch will be poor.

But countries with European and Asian countries have their own superstitions, are presented as myths, or exploited as financial rackets by infidels. Some are harmless, or some can seriously damage someone’s ignorance of life or damage it to their pocket. an event that the Germans use their ‘black’, ‘hot’ myth to ensure good behavior for their children on Christmas. children are told that sweating is going all over the house before Christmas and it will hit any disabled child! Most British superstitions are harmless. Most people won’t walk down the stairs – it’s either because they think the ladder might go down or the painter to lift his jar! Many British people ‘touch the wood’ when they find themselves asserting in a negative way that it is impossible – perhaps because the trees were so important to British magic. And too many people, if they spill salt, throw some on their left shoulders. The vision says that it gets in the eyes of demons. and no doubt the Chinese, Malays and Indians have many similar habits. None of these are particularly harmful – but there are some superstitions that can be harmful.

At best , superstition is no more than eccentricity at worst, a dangerous threat to serene and untrammeled living. Most of it belong to our dim ancestry, and as the human race evolves, so will superstition decrease, and, in the end, disappear.

Benefits of being a Bibliophile

A bibliophile is someone who is a voracious reader of different types of books. Someone who considers themselves as a biblical should be able to read books of different genres by different authors without discrimination whatsoever. Bibliophiles have a better understanding of life and read more to know the perks of being a bibliophile.

1. Increases knowledge

The habit of reading books can help enhance one’s intellectual capabilities to look at things in different ways. People who have fascination towards reading books are more likely to be thoughtful and have better knowledge about things than others who seldom read books or do not read anything except what is prescribed to them. Reading books of different authors and of different genres can enhance one’s knowledge and they tend to be well informed about things which eventually enhances their self confidence in a huge way.

2. Makes you more empathetic

Reading various books can help one to have a better and vivid understanding of different things which helps them have a better ethical and moral value system. It boosts their intellectual power and helps them become more empathetic towards others around them. People often fail to realize the gravity of situations like war, pandemic, political disruptions and so on but if someone happens to read a few books on these subjects, they will definitely have a far better understanding of the situation as a whole. Therefore it can be said that the habit of reading books helps us have a macroeconomic understanding of the world.

3. Makes you tolerant

The habit of reading helps people to become more tolerant. It makes us understand and accept the fact that each individual has their own way of thinking and looking at things which is not necessarily similar to the other individuals. Reading helps us accept this fact that people will have different perspectives of looking at things and that is absolutely normal unless it hurts anyone’s feelings and sentiments. Literature, specifically plays a huge role in making us aware of the fact that no matter how diverse our world is we have to tolerant enough to let others express their view points without hesitation for every one is different and that is normal. There can never be a single definition of what “normal” is. It is something that books help us understand.

4. Stress management

Many do not realize it but reading can actually be one of the best excercises to take a break and relax after a whole day of monotonous work. Reading therefore can be a good relaxing experience for many who find solace in reading and it brings them peace and harmony. Considering the current situation of the world it is not hard to guess the hardships and difficulties each individual has to go through on a daily basis which leads to traumatic stressful situations. However, reading, specifically on a daily basis can actually end up being an exercise to reduce stress from our lives. It controls the anxiety level and maintains a healthy equilibrium that helps in having a better stress free lifestyle.

Are you really a feminist?

It goes long back in time when women were treated inferior to man. It was in 1848 when the first feminism movement took place, where both men and women rallied for the rights of women. In its early stage such moments focused on bringing women equal to men. But now, as time has passed, feminists focus on justice and equality for all genders. There are feminists and then there are pseudo feminists. Pseudo feminist is a person who claims to be a feminist yet they ignore the whole point of it i.e. equality. They talk about treating women better than man, which is not the point of feminism. There is a very thin line between a feminist and a pseudo feminist. A feminist will say, everyone can do whatever they want but a pseudo feminist will say I am a women I won’t do this work. A feminist talks about equality for all genders but a pseudo feminist will say women deserve more respect. Many people on social media don’t know the real meaning of feminism and in turn they end up being a pseudo feminist. Respect can’t be gained on the basis of gender, it has to be earned. Because of pseudo feminists, the real feminists are called upon and are questioned. Also, because of this the real issues are sometimes left unattended and unnoticed.

Internet plays an important role in all this. As we all know, information spreads faster on the web. People start believing what the majority of the people are saying but it’s not always true. This leads to the spread of wrong information and harmful outcomes. Most of them think feminism is about choice of clothes and choice of whoever they want to talk to, but its more than that. If a women likes to cook and take care of her house, it’s okay, this doesn’t mean that she is forced to do it or that she’s a slave. Also, if a man wants to do these same things, it’s okay, it’s what he wants to do. Job, work, tasks need not be gender based. People should be allowed to do whatever they want to. All this can be solved with a little bit of knowledge and sense.

MENTAL HEALTH EFFECTS OF COVID-19

Since the outbreak of Coronavirus, which has now reached the pandemic status, almost effected all first world, second world countries, the world is in the state of crisis, quite evidently. Millions of lives have been altered, on different levels. Concern, stress, fear all very natural and normal reactions to the uncertain situation unfolding so rapidly with different dimensions that we happen to find ourselves in.

Now, in the situation of the widespread disease with no cure people are fearing death and the government trying to intensify their efforts to manage the pandemic through collective public health intervention measures and common folks coming together to help, showing remarkable cooperation, one aspect is largely ignored, that of Mental Health.

Experts have advised us to ‘stay in’, making quarantine the most preventive measure, but staying in comes with a bonus, that of potentially long term detrimental impact on mental health.

Being a collectivistic culture highly dependent on socialization (social support and social connectedness) has been critical towards self-isolation and social-distancing and are reluctantly dealing with emotional, psychological, behavioral impacts. Confusion, frustration, stress, anxiety, PTSD all triggered by uncontrolled events of the ongoing crisis, moving from mainstream to largely ignored conditions like depression, self harm, unintentional or intentional harm to family members, helplessness, substance abuse, sleeping problems you name it!

We humans are social animals and we cannot stay in a confined area and communicate with just few people everyday we had a habit of meeting new people daily and engaging in new stuff every now and then and staying in homes has made a huge impact on all individuals. They are hoping for all of this to end soon so that they can move out of their houses and return to their normal lives. Some are scared that what if they will not be able to live the normal life again and this makes the minds uncertain of the near future. Apart from the lockdown for pandemic one must also believe that mental health is very important just to make sure one is happy not only from the outside but from the inside too and maintain peace.

People can manage mental peace and harmony through meditation, proper diet, healthy fruits and vegetables, learning new skills and exercising and most importantly following a proper routine. And also to check on one another if the other is doing fine or not. This will ensure that everyone is not just safe physically but are also having peaceful minds and if not communication can heal the gaps and make a person feel less burdened.

Acceptance

I’m gay. I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time. I thought doing it this way would be a piece of cake. I hope you still love me. I mean, it’s hard not to love someone who baked you a cake. All my friends know and still love me. Your acceptance would be the icing on the cake. I hope you, much like this cake, are not in tiers. I hope we can look back on this and say ‘boy, this one really takes the cake!’ It gets better. Love, Aman.(sorry for so many puns)”

This is a story of thousands of people who came out this way by sending text messages to their parents because they are afraid to face them in the fear of being disowned.

Coming out takes a lot of courage and finesse. Some people use humor. Some use emotion. And sometimes, their families react the “right” way. But not everyone can be so lucky.

And for those who aren’t ready to come out yet, that’s okay. Come out when you’re ready and when you’re in a safe position to do so.

Decriminalising homosexuality may have come as a huge relief to the LGBTQ community in India but things have not changed much yet. Coming out continues to be a challenge.

Both sides of coming out stories are important to share. Our society has come far but we also have a long way to go.

Hypocrisy

On April 10, 2020 a 27 year old M.phil student from Jamia Millia Islamia, Safoora Zargar was booked under UAPA ( Unlawful Activities Prevention Act ), for her alleged role in North-East Delhi riots which took place on February 23, 2020 in which more than 50 people were killed. She was associated with Jamia Coordination Committee (JCC) and was part of the Anti – Citizenship Amendment Act protests organised by University Students in December and January.

On April 10, 2020 she was arrested and on April 21, 2020 her bail was rejected even though she was pregnant and was reportedly suffering from Poly Cystic Ovarian Disorder.

Safoora came into limelight after three weeks of her arrest when #SafooraZargar started trending on twitter. This trend started after BJP Leader Kapil Mishra tweeted saying not to connect her pregnancy with him in response to a tweet which said protesters like Safoora are denied bail and people who incited hate are enjoying freedom, and after that what happened on Twitter is a clear picture of the Indian Society and their treatment towards women. Her child who hasn’t entered the world was abused brutally and was called a bastard’s child. She was given contraceptive advices on Twitter and many more derogatory slangs were used for her.

Safoora was portrayed as an unmarried pregnant woman even though she is married since 2018 was a result of IT Cell’s hard work. The people who preached feminism a few days back were doing analysis of her character like anything. You can’t match their hypocrisy level because one day they will share stories of ‘BoisLockerRoom’ on their Instagram stories and the other day they don’t give a woman the liberty to conceive in a way she wants.

On one hand her name was maligned on social media for ridiculous reasons, on the other hand she was denied bail stating various baseless resons.

On June 4, 2020 her bail plea was rejected by Additional Session Judge of Patiala House Courts, on the grounds of
‘Prima facie evidence to show there was conspiracy’. While dismissing the bail petition, Judge Dharmendra Rana said:
“When you choose to play with embers, you cannot blame the wind to have carried the spark a bit too far and spread the fire. The acts and inflammatory speeches of the co-conspirators are admissible u/s 10 of the Indian Evidence even against the applicant/accused.”

The reliance of the court on metaphors rather than on law clearly shows the inability of the authorities in proving the accused as guilty.

When a judge uses metaphor instead of law to justify his decision then it’s high time we should realise that we need to reconsider our entire judicial system.

On June 23, 2020 finally she was granted bail by the Delhi High Court on humanitarian grounds.
Based on the Centre’s concession, a bench of Justice Rajiv Shakhdher granted regular bail to Safoora on furnishing a personal bond of ₹10k and on the following conditions:
• She should not indulge in activities she is being investigated for.
• She should refrain from hampering investigation.
• She has to take the permission of the concerned court before leaving the territory of Delhi.
• She has to get in touch with the Investigating Officer once in every 15 days through a phone call.

This whole process took more than 2 months, the courts didn’t even took the present scenario of the pandemic into consideration and prisoned a pregnant woman without strong evidences shows the insensitiveness of the Indian System towards a pregnant woman.

India will have an Important role in scaling up vaccine production: PM Modi.

As the whole world is waiting for discovery of corona virus , the next big challenge in front of world is large scale production of vaccine so that it is feasible to common man.India is going to play major role in vaccine production as it has past experience as well as skilled doctors. India is responsible for providing 2/3 of world’s children with vaccine.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his inaugural address at the India Global Week 2020, said that India will play an important role in developing and in scaling up production of the vaccine once it is discovered.

“Vaccines made in India are responsible for 2/3rd of the vaccine needs of the world’s children. Today also our companies are active in international efforts for development and production of #COVID19 vaccine. I’m certain that India will have an important role in developing and in scaling up production of the vaccine once it is discovered,” PM Modi said.

Speaking on India’s economy, PM Modi said, “India remains one of the most open economies in the world. We are laying a red carpet for all global companies to come and establish their presence in India. Very few countries will offer the kind of opportunities India does today.”

“The pandemic has once again shown that India’s pharma industry is an asset not just for India but for the entire world. It has played a leading role in reducing the cost of medicines, especially for developing countries,” the Prime Minister said.

He also further said that India will lead world in the path of revival post corona virus pandemic in terms of economic as well social development.India is power house of young talents may it be technological or scientific or doctors field.

World over, you have seen the contribution of India’s talent-force. Who can forget the Indian tech industry & tech professionals. They have been showing the way for decades. India is a power-house of talent that is eager to contribute. In these times, it is natural to talk about revival. It is equally natural to link global revival and India. There is faith that the story of global revival will have India playing a leading role,” PM Modi said.

Hope there will be discovery of vaccine soon and life comes back on track.

How India’s Rising Political Presence Led China’s Backpedal.

Making an apparent hit at china, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the age of expansionism is over and added that the new age of development is here.

“Age of expansionism is over and this is the age of development. History is witness that expansionist forces have either lost or were forced to turn back,” Modi said addressing soldiers in Ladakh’s Nimmoo. However, the Prime Minister did not mention China at all in his address to the soldiers.

The remark comes amidst the on-going tension between India and China at Line of Actual Control in the eastern Ladakh. In a violent brawl between forces almost 20 Indian soldiers were martyred in the Galwan Valley on June 15 midnight when Chinese troops attempted to unilaterally change the status quo during the de-escalation.

The Prime Minister also said that the people of Ladakh have rejected every attempt to create separatism in the region.

“Ladakh is the head of the country. This is the symbol of pride for the 130 crore citizens of India. This land belongs to the people who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the country… Every attempt to create separatism in the region was rejected by the nationalist people of Ladakh,” Modi said.

He further added, “We are the same people who pray to the flute playing Lord Krishna, but we are also the same people who idealise and following the same Lord Krishna who carries the Sudarshan Chakra”. The two countries, India and China have been involved in talks to ease the on-going border dispute since last month.

Praising the bravery displayed by the soldiers, the Prime Minister said: “The bravery that you and your compatriots showed, a message has gone to the world about India’s strength.”

“Your courage is higher than the heights where you are posted today,” he added.

“Atmanirbhar Bharat ka sankalp aapke tyag, balidan, pursharth ke karan aur bhi mazbut hai,”(The vision of self-dependent India gets strengthened from your sacrifice and courage),” the Prime Minister said.

During Prime Minister’s address the soldiers were observed maintaining social distance amid pandemic.

PM Modi on Friday made a surprise visit to Ladakh and was briefed by senior officers at Nimmoo amid ongoing tension with China. The Prime Minister was accompanied by Army Chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane and Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat.

He reached Nimmoo, early in the morning and interacted with Army, Air Force and ITBP personnel. Located at 11,000 feet, this is among the tough terrains, surrounded by Zanskar range and on the banks of the Indus. Prime Minister Modi Also performed Prayer rituals at the Holy Indus River.

The idea of India started its journey with high moral values (non-violence, democracy, people rights) and since 1947 we’ve indulge into many wars, conflicts being internal or external both resolved with democratic path. This path of Democracy is extremely hard, to pass one reform bill in the parliament of India could take years, as we all (Indians) know it’s quite hard to please the majority, though for good things. This does make progress of India slow but what wonder it does is the trust and believe it seeds among the rest of the Nations in the world. World would definitely prefer a democratic nation when compared to a communist country. Democracy has always been a safer place to live in and contributes zero threat to the world’s security and safety. This further boosts India’s take on becoming a reliable superpower to which world can trust.

The days of expansionism are apparently turning fade with the rising support for India’s stand at border disputes with China. The world now knows that the new India would never compromise on its national integrity and would never step back from its own territory. The recent aggressive response of Indian Army at the Galwan with close to 43 casualties on the Chinese side was a true representation of its new mood of hitting harder. The government of India following a straight path of “No Compromise” shows its rising diplomatic presence at global politics.

Indeed, a lot has changed since 1962’s Indo-China war. India in 2020 is much technically advanced than ever before. India is the biggest influencer of information technology, it is Indians who are providing software strength to major Chinese IT firms since China so far had focused only on manufacturing leading into a hardware oriented industry.

Apart from IT, India’s military might had boosted exponentially with more weapon, warheads and war machine imports, India is also focused on indigenous weapons, thus reducing the foreign imports and reliability.

Taking military strength, China does seem upper handed while looking at numbers. India has an approximate of 1.3 Million active armed personnel and China has close to 2.1 Million of armed personnel. Yet, strategically China is helpless. Surrounded with 14 neighbouring nations China could never risk putting all of its force on to the west, this will leave East China (China’s Densely Populated and Economy Region) in a huge threat from Japan, USA and other Nations.

India with complete command over Indian Ocean reflects threat to China’s trade route to the Gulf countries. India is able to improve its political position in the global community by making more of friends and forming strong business ties that works two ways, equally.

LEADERSHIP IN MANAGEMENT

Appraisal of employees based on his/her performance- The Importance

Every company wants hard working and goal oriented employees. Every Organisation desires success. What does an employee wants? What are his goals.? All an employee wants is appraisal for his/her hardwork and performance that he/she is producing.Further in this article you will be able to completely understand about appraisals, goals and legalities attached with it.

Lets understand about appraisal of employees and needs of appraisal.

An employee performance appraisal is a process—often combining both written and oral elements—whereby management evaluates and provides feedback on employee job performance, including steps to improve or redirect activities as needed. Documenting performance provides a basis for pay increases and promotions. Appraisals are also important to help staff members improve their performance and as an avenue by which they can be rewarded or recognized for a job well done. In addition, they can serve a host of other functions, providing a launching point from which companies can clarify and shape responsibilities in accordance with business trends, clear lines of management-employee communication, and spur re-examinations of potentially hoary business practices. Yet Joel Myers notes in Memphis Business Journal that “in many organizations, performance appraisals only occur when management is building a case to terminate someone. It’s no wonder that the result is a mutual dread of the performance evaluation session—something to be avoided, if at all possible. This is no way to manage and motivate people. Performance appraisal is supposed to be a developmental experience for the employee and a ‘teaching moment’ for the manager.”

Lets look at goals of appraisal system.

Treadmills: a torture device?

Treadmill, a machine that can be seen in any gym one steps into regardless of the country one stays in. Treadmill has become an iconic exercise when it comes to the gym. The constant thud underneath your feet. The constrained space. The monotony of going nowhere fast. Feeling like hours have gone by as you slog on it, but in reality, mere minutes have passed by. Running on a treadmill can certainly feel like torture, but did you know it was originally used for that very purpose. Its true the now easy to access treadmill was once used to torture and get troublesome inmates into line.

In the 1800’s, treadmills were created to punish English prisoners. It was at a time when the English prison system was abysmally bad. Execution and deportations were usually the punishment of choice and those who were locked away faced hours of solitude in tiny confined filthy cells. So social movements led by religious groups, philanthropists and celebrities like Charles Dickens sought to change these dire conditions that the inmates faced and tried to reform the prisoners and prison system. When the movement succeeded, entire prisons were remodelled and new forms of rehabilitations, such as the treadmill were introduced. Invented by an English engineer, Sir William Cubitt in 1818 the original version was vastly different than the commercial ones we know today. Prisoners stepped on 24 spokes pf a large paddle wheel. As the wheel turned, the prisoner was forced to keep stepping up in order to reduce the risk of falling down, similar to modern stepper machines. Meanwhile the rotation of the wheel made gears pump water, crush grain and power mills, which is where the name Treadmill originated. These devices were seen as a fantastic way to whip the prisoners into shape with the added benefit of powering the mills helped rebuild a British economy that was devastated by the Napoleonic wars. It was win-win situation for everyone except of course the prisoners. It is estimated, on an average that the prisoners spent around six hours or so a day on treadmills which can be an equivalent of 5000 to 14000 feet a day which is roughly climbing Mount Everest to its halfway point. They did so five days a week with little food to energize themselves with. Cubitt’s idea quickly spread across the British Empire and America. And within a decade of its creation over 50 English prisons boasted a treadmill and America also quickly surmounted to a similar amount. Unsurprisingly the exertion combined with the poor nutrition being provided saw any prisoners suffering from breakdowns and injuries but unfortunately prison guards did not seem to care. In 1894, New York prison guard James Hardie credited the device to have taming his most boisterous of inmates claiming that the monotonous steadiness, not its severity is what terrorized the inmates. The treadmills lasted in England until the late 19^th century, when they were banned for being excessively cruel under the Prison Act of 1898.

Soon the torture device returned with a vengeance, this time targeting the unsuspecting public. In 1911, a treadmill patent was registered in the US and by 1952 was thrust into limelight with the model that we are so familiar with. As an easy and convenient way to improve aerobic fitness, it soon gained a lot of familiarity in the exercise business.

Thus is the tale of the torture device that soon became a staple in every corner of gyms and exercise squares.
