Days come and go, festivals pass by in a jiffy. But there’s something special about the festival of lights. It begins with a loud bang from the crackers, goes on with serial lights and rockets lighting up the skies, and ends with a sweet note in courtesy of the laddoss and chaklis made and shared among friends and families. 

This is Diwali for us! Diwali is celebrated with great pomp and harmony, usually in the states of Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu in India. It falls between the months of October and November and becomes the reason for dressing up, eating traditional sweets, bursting crackers, and family gatherings. 

The origin of Diwali, the festival of lights.

As we celebrate, let us look at the origins of this beloved festival and learn what makes this an auspicious occasion. There aren’t any definite origins as there are several reasons behind celebration of this festival across different states of India. 

  • According to the epic Ramayana by Valmiki, Diwali is celebrated on the account of Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya with his wife Seeta and brother Lakshmana after spending 14 years in exile and defeating the evil king Raavana. 

  • According to the most popular beliefs, Diwali marks the birth of Goddess Lakshmi from Samudra Manthan, the cosmic ocean of milk churned by gods and demons alike. Goddess Lakshmi had chosen Vishnu as her husband on the night of Diwali, forming an unbreakable bond. 

  • In the epic Mahabharata, the five pandava brothers were deceived into losing a bet while gambling and got banished by the Kauravas from Hastinapur for 12 years. According to the epic, Diwali is celebrated on the account of their return to Hastinapur during the Kartik Amavasya. 

  • In Sikhism, Diwali is celebrated on the account of Guru Hargobind being released by Mughal emperor Jehangir.  

  • In Jainism, the festival is celebrated as an anniversary of Mahavira’s soul finally seeking Nirvana. 

  • In many states of the western India, like Gujarath, Diwali is regarded as the beginning of a new year. 

  • In eastern India, comprising West Bengal, Diwali is celebrated in the honor of their Goddess Kali. Who is well known for her destructive rampage against the demons of the earth. 

How is Diwali celebrated?

With countless memes being reiterated regarding cleaning your household during this festive season. It becomes an important preparatory requirement for Diwali celebration. Dry fruits and sweetmeats are also exchanged ahead of the main Diwali celebrations. Outdoor and indoor parties as well as craft shows begin to create the ambiance for the forthcoming festival of lights. Gambling, as seen in Mahabharata being enacted by Pandavas and Kauravas, is a traditional festive game that is played during the week before Diwali alongside card games. 

Finally! the five days of Diwali

Let’s begin with Choti or little Diwali. It’s the day before the main event that is dedicated to preparations for the festival. We can’t be out buying crackers and sweets right in the middle of our Diwali right? There is fun and anticipation as we await the day of the main festival to be greeted with loud crackers and sweet smelling gulab jamuns, laddoos, and other delicious snacks. Oh, and also watch your step, because you might be the subject of someone’s wrath if you step on one of the painstakingly made rangolis.

And now comes the main event, people greet the festival with a loud bang as the sun sets. Both the land and the skies are lit by fireworks. As usual, there begins an opposition against usage of firecrackers by environmentalists and naysayers. But they could never dampen the festive spirits of the true enthusiasts. By the end of the day, both the so-called environmentalists as well as the enthusiasts are united by festive delicacies. Thanks to the prior purchases, exchanges and preparations. 

The final days of the festive season witnesses sisters praying for the well being for their brothers and, hopefully receiving generous returns from their siblings. 

What should I do during Diwali?

Most probably you wouldn’t be having that question. But if your friends bailed out on you and you have no plans, then maybe you could write content like me. Just kidding! On a serious note, there will definitely be a movie releasing every Diwali which you can watch along with your family. If you are one of those naysayers to fireworks, you could take a trip to a nearby exotic location. You can use the holiday and the bonus to meet up with some old friends which you have been putting off for another day. 

Happy Diwali! May the festival bring lots of joy into your hearts! 

Communication, but non-verbal ones!

Source: Freepik

Communication is an important tool for us to share our thoughts and ideas with each other. When we use this tool to associate with strangers, it has to be done skillfully. Thus the term communication skills became generic and many people began teaching them or learning them. However, communication need not be confined to typical speech and verbal boundaries. Your facial expressions and gestures also communicate your thoughts to the intended audience. Thus, proving the existence of non-verbal communication. 

Non-verbal communication 

The key to a successful personal or professional relationship lies in your communication skills. But it is not simply the words you use that counts. The non-verbal communication you make with your facial expressions, mannerisms, and gestures brings a lot of difference in a situation. These non-verbal cues are often expressed in a subconscious state of mind. 

While communicating with a person, you send silent messages apart from a typical speech with your expressions, tone of speech and posture. These non-verbal cues have the power to attract and draw the audience’s attention towards you or leave them confused and withdrawn from you. 

Sometimes, the message we convey from our verbal communication is different from the one we express through our non-verbal communication. For example, saying you are happy as you put up a sad face. This renders the audience in a confused state of mind regarding believing the verbal or non-verbal cues.  Finally, they may choose to follow the non-verbal cues as it is often expressed in a subconscious manner. 

 Segments of non-verbal communication

Now that you may know the importance of non-verbal communication, let us look at some of the segments of non-verbal communication in detail. 

Facial Expressions

Whether you are happy or sad, most probably your peers can identify the way you feel. How is that possible? It’s your facial expressions that give your feelings away. Facial expressions are a significant part of non-verbal communication. There are so many things you convey with your smile or frown. People’s forms of expression differ across different regions and cultures. But facial expressions conveying basic emotions such as anger, fear, happiness or sadness are universal. 

Gestures

Although non-verbal communication is said to occur in a subconscious or an un-intentional manner. Some deliberate gestures also help convey a message or statement. We may wave our hand to gain someone’s attention or point a finger somewhere to give out directions to a person. These are some of the deliberate non-verbal communications we make in our day to day lives. 

Paralinguistics

Paralinguistics is a form of verbal communication that is seperate from the language quotient. It is inclusive of vocal factors such as tone of voice, pitch and loudness. To put it into perspective, the tone of voice alters the effect of the linguistic communication that you make. A statement being produced by a strong and confident tone gains approval and enthusiasm from the audience. The similar statement provided with hesitation receives lack of enthusiasm and support. 

When your friend asks you how you’re feeling, you may say you’re fine. But your certain degree of fineness is revealed by the tone in which you delivered your statement. 

Eye Gaze

Our eyes do speak volumes. When you see someone or something you love and adore, your eyes start to blink and your pupils begin to dilate. Thus forming an important segment of non-verbal communication. Blinking, staring and simply looking are some of the ways we communicate with our eyes. 

On the other hand, people may observe your eye gaze to determine your degree of honesty and trustworthiness.  By maintaining a steady and normal eye contact, you are perceived as an honest and trustworthy person. But the inability to maintain eye contact or having a shaky gaze may be considered as unreliable. 

Hoptics

Hoptics is a mode of communicating through physical touch. It also forms an important segment in non-verbal communication. A gentle touch or pat on the shoulder conveys warmth and affection. This form of communication is intense and must be treated with immense care. We tend to utilise this form of communication with people we know very well. A touch can be perceived as both appropriate and inappropriate based on where and how a person is touched. 

Appearances

Does the guy wearing a suit, sitting across you give out professional and business vibes? It is because that is what he communicated to you silently through his choice of clothing. Your choice of colour, clothing, hairstyle and overall appearance makes a non-verbal communication with others that allows them to have first impressions about you. That’s why we would prefer going shopping for a new attractive attire for a potential date or party to make a positive first impression. 

  “Few realize how loud their expressions really are. Be kind with what you wordlessly say,” says Richelle E. Goodrich, which stands true in regards to non-verbal communication.

VARIATION IN CHOPSTICKS

 Chopsticks are standard utensils in some countries of Asia.
While to an outsider every chopstick they see may look the same but if you have
used them, you would notice the differences. If chopsticks from China, Japan
and Korea when placed side to side you can notice few features that are unique.
If you want to buy a chopstick or just want to know more about chopsticks in general,
this post is just for you. Now let’s dive deep into the part on how they are
different and why.

 

JAPANESE CHOPSTICKS

Japanese chopsticks, also known as ‘Hashi’ in Japanese,
is the shortest of them all. They are placed horizontally in front of individuals
on top of a small stand known as hashioki. Since Japanese people have
separate palate for individual, they have smaller chopsticks. The tops of the
chopstick are exceptionally pointy as Japanese people tend to consume more fried
fishes, it helps in picking the bones. The way an individual uses chopstick is very important in Japan. Children
are made to practice with beans by their teachers or parents. When in a Japanese
dinner table, you are not supposed to point at or fumble with foods, those are
deemed as improper. When there is no communal chopstick present, the other end
of the chopstick could be used to move food. One of the most crucial point to
be noted is that the chopsticks shouldn’t be crossed on the table, as it symbolizes
death in their culture.

 

KOREAN CHOPSTICKS

Korean chopsticks are mostly metal since it is more
durable than a wooden one but its wooden version does exits. During Joseon era,
the royalty would use silver chopsticks since its oxidizing properties could often
help them detect whether the food made for the royalties had been tampered
with or not. They are flatter along its cross section and a tad longer than the Japanese
ones. They place their chopsticks on the side of the table over a rest vertically in front
of individuals. When a Japanese visits Korean restaurant they might have
problem handling the metal ones since they are one the heavier side, they can
always ask for a wooden one instead. In earlier days, chopsticks varied with social
status. Chopsticks used in court were made up of gold, silver or cloisonne,
while commoners would use those made up of brass or wooden.

 

CHINSESE CHOPSTICKS

Onto the last variation, Chinese chopsticks. They are
the longest of them all. In a Chinese restaurant people are seated in a round
table and the side dishes are scattered all around the table, hence one needs to pick up foods
from different parts of the table and that’s the reason why they are so long. They
are round, thick and have a blunt top end unlike the other two. And that is because
Chinese people tend to eat greasy food and the thick and blunt top ensures that
the food doesn’t slip away. When you connect the two pieces, you’ll find that the
top (narrow) ends don’t touch. This might be a bit problematic when having
ramen for some people. In Chinese culture, it is improper for one to tap chopsticks at the edge of
a bowl as this act is used by beggars to attract attention.

 

On a closing note, its not what kind of chopstick you
use matter, yes you can choose any one of them as per your liking, but it important
to understand and respect the culture by applying proper etiquette while using
them in a restaurant.

HOW TOYOTA CHANGED THE WORLD OF SUPPLY CHAIN

When Toyota was in just 2 years in it’s business, Japan had to go through World War II and Hiroshima Nagasaki incident which completely destroyed Japan’s economy. While struggling for labor and capital, they also had to face companies as big as Ford and General Motors of the United States. Despite all the odds Eiji Toyoda was abled to make profits and raise the company above all the giant automobiles companies.

Back in the 90s when Japan’s economy was shattered and people were struggling to stay alive, making a place in a market under such circumstances were impossible, let alone profit. 

Noticing their company struggle keep it’s foot on ground, Eiji Toyoda decided to visit Ford’s rouge plant, where he learnt about the production system of the company. When he got back, he realized it isn’t just abut copying their methods and mechanisms , plus affording machinery and labors were out of the question. While the seemingly perfect method of Ford did end up making profits, there were few loopholes in the system which caught Eiji’s eyes.



THE LOOPHOLES

The production line of Ford was as such, first they would forecast the demand and then they will place order for the raw materials in bulk to reduce the cost. After that they will store the materials in the warehouse  and then start assembling the parts. Proceeding that the cars were store in the inventory and then to the dealers. Noting that they would always produce in surplus, they would more often than not face overproduction. The overproduction in tern lead to excessive inventory and unnecessary capital investment.


A BRILIANT IDEA

In order to make their production efficient and profitable, Eiji came up with idea of Just In Time method of production. In this method the cars will we only available in the pamphlets and the showroom, the assembling will only starts after the customer places an order. They would also encourage their suppliers to follow the same. And the best part is that the entire process would take only 5 days. This method lead to extreme cost cutting since their were no excess inventory and even if a natural disaster were to occur, which is quite common in Japan, there will be little to no loss.
THEIR SUCCESS
After adopting the Just In Time method of production, Toyota’s production started to shoot up from the year 1995. In 2008 it became one of the largest car manufacturer and in 2016, Toyota’s market capitalization was more than that of Ford, General Motors and Honda together. Later when almost every company started to implement the Just In Time method, they saw 80% less lead time and up to 50% reduction in inventory, resulting them to save capital. And this is how Toyota transformed the world of supply chain while becoming one of the most profitable company.
 

Top dating sites are actually good for finding serious relationships

 Most seasoned singles know that dating culture can be broken up into hookup culture and actually-looking-to-date-long-term relationship culture. Most online dating sites are a mix of both, and after living with online dating as an increasingly ubiquitous option for the past 20 years, the general public (mostly) sees dating sites as a super normal means to find casual dates or a hookup.  But what if you’re looking for a serious relationship that lasts? What if you just don’t want to be alone on Valentine’s Day ever again? What if you’re over casual dating and just want someone consistent to come home to? What if you have no idea where to start? Big names like match and eharmony likely come to mind, but they’re not interchangeable — nor are they your only options. Can you really fall in love with someone online? The long-term potential of online dating is still met with a cloud of doubt. However, new evidence is proving that relationships that started online might have a stronger foundation than those that started offline.  Hotloves is another new destination for love chats and dating site. 

A 2017 study cited in the MIT Technology Review found that people who meet online are more likely to be compatible and have a higher chance of a healthy marriage if they decide to get hitched. If marriage is your goal, you’ll be glad to know that another recent study found that heterosexual couples who met online were quicker to tie the knot than couples who met offline. Either way, online dating seems to be a good recipe for a satisfying, long-term relationship whether it involves marriage or not. No one is saying that online dating is the variable that changes everything, but the research does point to the fact that people who sign up for dating sites that require thoughtful responses are more ready to settle down.  Enter: The pandemic that made inviting strangers over to bang and leave a no-no. 2020’s uptick in dating app sign-ups — due to sheer boredom or the forced realization that it’d actually be pretty nice to spoon on a nightly basis — mathematically upped your chances of meeting someone special. As the light at the end of the nose swab tunnel nears, nature is healing: First dates are returning to their natural habitats (a dimly-lit bar with shitty beer) instead of the emergency video date features instated by multiple apps during quarantine. People are replenishing their non-sweatpants wardrobes. Singles have begun planting the seeds for summer romance. 

But Covid changed dating forever, and for reasons past “I’m fully vaccinated” becoming a turn-on. Communication skills were forced to evolve in the year that most human connection was facilitated through a screen. People learned to voice their boundaries and have serious talks (like about social distancing) early on. Coronavirus anxiety became a natural conversation starter and universal way to bond. More single people may now be more comfortable with delving into deeper subjects with someone they met online — a great thing for serious relationship hunters, if true. Tinder thinks the honesty will carry over when things are back to normal, and hopefully the aggressively horny people will continue to weed themselves out. At the very least, isolation may have simply forced more people to realize that they do, in fact, crave more company than a booty call. Tinder says that more daters are open to “seeing where things go” than they were before the pandemic. That means that you could have more luck finding something serious on a dating app that has historically had a reputation for casual relationships and hookups. 

SEE ALSO: FODA (Fear of Dating Again) is a thing now  We should also remember what we learned while dating in the era of social distancing: You’re never required to meet up with a match in person immediately. Someone’s willingness to date you via texting or FaceTime is a pretty clear sign that they’re genuinely interested in learning more about you. Even if and when social distancing isn’t as believable of an excuse as it was in 2020, someone who pressures you to hang out before you’re ready probably isn’t long-term material. Divorcees and single parents have particularly high untapped potential on online dating sites, too. True, being in the over-60 group may mean that more people your age are already off the market — but online dating can prove that the mature dating pool isn’t as bleak as you think, even if your local one is. People over 50 actually have an advantage over the younger crowd: Many people in their 20s and 30s just aren’t ready to settle down. Developing a crush on someone is more likely to end with an awkward “situation-ship” rather than something serious. Most older folks have been figuring this whole “love” thing out for longer than millennials have been alive. With life experience and possible previous marriages under your belt, you know the red flags and you know what you want. Like one person in the Reddit thread from r/datingoverfifty suggests, if you want commitment, a dating site with a high barrier to entry — like eharmony, match, or Elite Singles — could help to weed out people who aren’t about to pay a high monthly price just to mess around.  What makes a dating site better for relationships than others? Do we even need to get into why Tinder is a long shot? Is being introduced to nearly every person in a 10-mile radius worth the cliché bios quoting The Office or how they’re “not looking for commitment?” Sure, Tinder has its fair share of those lucky success stories, but it’s also the dating app where ghosting, breadcrumbing, and every other disheartening dating trend flourish. Singles looking for something serious ASAP might get frustrated with sites that only give a limited number of matches per day. But choosing sites that force you to be selective really heightens the focus on what you’re truly looking for in a perfect match — and gets you closer to cuffing status. For online daters who want the power to peruse the dating pool, you need to seek out detailed, high-energy profiles that give a well-rounded idea of who you’re messaging. Swiping is guided by the compatibility ranking that most sites offer, which predicts how well you’ll get along with other daters based on how you both answered questions. Plus, you can tell how much other daters care about the process by how much effort they put into their profile. If a single sentence about being drama free is the extent of someone’s bio, you can assume that 1. they’re not taking this seriously and 2. they create drama. 

OkCupid has a particularly strong red flag game: The site has found that personal politics are a major deciding factor for young people choosing a partner, and profile building revolves around make-or-break stances on things like women’s issues or whether they bother to vote. Aside from a compatibility percentage, OkCupid shows what issues the person gives a shit about (or not) so you don’t get stuck on a first date with someone who’s on the opposite end of the spectrum. Potential matches will analyze your dating profile, so make sure it does you justice On its face, it makes sense to question the legitimacy of a connection with someone who is only showcasing their best self. But how much more information are you really getting from the tipsy person hitting on you at the bar aside from what they look like IRL? The dating sites that let users express themselves with prompts — from favorite movies to where you want to retire — are setting you up for success by avoiding an unnecessary argument six months in. SEE ALSO: 6 ways to make your dating app profile stand out from the crowd  The best way to attract genuine people? Be authentic yourself. That’s easier said than done when your biggest worry is that a truthful answer — like the fact that you might not be as good of a communicator as you would like — will deter “the one” from swiping right. But deep down, you know that lying on a compatibility questionnaire probably won’t lead to a healthy relationship. It’s crucial to remind yourself that people who get freaked out by your honesty aren’t ideal potential partners, anyway. We’ve left out the dating sites that get torn apart in reviews for being ravaged by scammers and fake profiles, but asking to video chat before meeting up IRL is a smart way to confirm that the photos match the person behind them. Until a smarter AI can read minds and simply ban hookup seekers from serious sites, these are the best datings sites for serious relationships: match Your Best Option match Credit: Match Specs Free version: Yes Three months of Premium: $26.99/month Six months of Premium: $23.99/month One year of Premium: $20.99/month Buying Options See Details Long-term relationships are the name of the game at match (no “dot com”). It’s OK to admit it: It’s kind of comforting that you’ve been seeing TV commercials about the success of match for the past 20-some years. Launched in 1995, its decades in the business help match bring a comforting level of experience to the table for singles wary about online dating. The OG dating site is so confident in the blueprint it’s been perfecting over the years that it guarantees that you’ll find someone in six months. If you don’t, you get six months for free. match continuously solidifies its spot as a well-rounded choice for all ages because it refuses to get lost in the antiquated, corny trope. Its questionnaire evolves with what modern singles care about — for instance, match prefers to narrow down matches based on shared interests (like volunteering or clubbing), pet preferences, whether you want (or have) kids, and dealbreakers like smoking or drinking. Most of us would like to believe that anyone paying $20 per month is serious, but match has had its fair share of extreme catfishing. But they’re working to make this better: match is set to follow Tinder as the second Match Group app to utilize location-based emergency services via Noonlight, as well as photo verification to authenticate faces with real humans. Want to know how match stacks up against eharmony? 

We got you. eharmony Best For Those Dating To Marry eharmony Credit: Eharmony Specs Free version: Yes Six months of Premium: $40 to $60/month One year of Premium: $30 to $40/month Two years of Premium: $20 to $30/month Buying Options See Details Ever see a commercial for eharmony and wonder if a dating site that corny actually works? Weirdly enough, it does. A spokesperson for the site says it’s been used by 54 million people, and is apparently responsible for 4 percent of U.S. marriages. That doesn’t mean you’re going to walk down the aisle within the first year, but it at least narrows your options to singles who are open to being exclusive, meeting the family, or moving in together. What was once a doozy of a sign-up process is now short, sweet, and free of the corny, religious questions that held it back from being a top choice for the younger crowd. The comprehensive questionnaire now covers 32 dimensions (up from 29) of what makes a happy relationship. Instead of blatantly asking if you get mad easily or if you’re emotionally stable, eharmony may ask how you handle apologizing after a fight or if a certain action would piss you off. These hypotheticals draw more natural responses, and a few other fun ones are thrown in to cover surface-level basics like hobbies, too. It should be noted that eharmony hasn’t always been a welcoming place to members of the LGBTQ+ community. Following a 2010 lawsuit, their gay and lesbian spin-off site Compatibility Partners has been folded into eharmony’s overall site, but users on Reddit as recently as 2019 say that it still seems geared more toward straight people.  OkCupid Best For Liberals And Leftists OkCupid Credit: Okcupid Specs Free version: Yes One month of OkCupid Basic: $44.99 Three months of OkCupid Basic: $29.99/month Six months of OkCupid Basic: $22.49/month One month of OkCupid Premium: $54.99 Three months of OkCupid Premium: $36.66/month Six months of OkCupid Premium: $27.49/month Buying Options See Details For young, progressive singles, politics aren’t just a “well if we agree, it’s great” thing when looking for a partner — it’s the make or break for a solid romantic foundation. OkCupid’s 2017 redesign is more than just millennial aesthetics: It’s geared toward ensuring that you don’t end up on a date with someone who doesn’t pay attention. Twelve gender identities, 20 sexual orientations, and the option to choose your pronouns make it an ideal space for non-binary and queer individuals to find love while using the pronouns they love. Users can weed out people they’d fight with on Facebook by answering inquiries like “Would you date someone who keeps a gun in the house?” or “Should the government require children be vaccinated for preventable diseases?” 

In June 2020, the site introduced a Black Lives Matter badge for your profile. You’ll even get to see the percentage of how much you have in common with other daters based on the questions you both answer.  AdultFriendFinder Best For Getting Serious About Getting Down AdultFriendFinder Credit: Adultfriendfinder Buying Options See Details Read our full review of AdultFriendFinder. Pros: You can definitely find a way to get off, even if you don’t meet up with someone IRL LBGTQ and poly friendly Cons: Super outdated site that looks like a giant porn ad Don’t be surprised if you interact with scam profiles AdultFriendFinder is like a Pornhub that you can interact with. It takes someone in a very specific mood with a very specific type of connection in mind — but if the potential hookups you’re finding on Tinder aren’t as mature (or kinky) as you’d prefer, AFF will be satisfying. Is it the best for finding a serious relationship? No. But hear us out. For anyone who’s been out of the dating game for a while, doing some sexy flirting in an environment where you aren’t looking for something serious can definitely take the pressure off and help you get comfortable again. Just use good judgment and be careful when interacting with people on AFF. Regardless of whether you’re looking for an in-person hookup or to blow off some steam over the screen, AFF has everything that your dirty mind can whip up. With 20-something million monthly users as well as live video options, chat rooms, groups for ultra-specific kinks, and more, you can assume how wild things can get. Another bonus is that AdultFriendFinder is like the dating site version of New York City — it never sleeps. You’ll find people who work the regular 9 to 5, people who work the night shift, and people in other time zones, so it’s nearly impossible to log on and not have people to talk to.  Privacy policy: AFF discloses your personal information to services providers like credit card processing companies, but it does not sell your data to third parties for marketing purposes without your permission. In 2016, AdultFriendFinder had a huge data breach with more than 412 million accounts affected. Read the full privacy policy here. Hinge Best Serious App For Millennials Hinge Credit: Hinge Specs Free version: Yes One month of Hinge Preferred: $29.99 Three months of Hinge Preferred: $19.99/month Six months of Hinge Preferred: $14.99/month Buying Options See Details Young people looking to at least go on a few dates with the same person before staying the night was a major blind spot for dating sites — until Hinge blew up. The general appeal might be in the same realm as Tinder and Bumble, but Hinge’s unique profile criteria and algorithms based on that criteria set the scene for long-term potential. By covering so many bases before the first message, Hinge lowers the chance of meeting someone you’d hate. Despite the fact that we’re actively seeking out new dating apps and feel a rush every time a cute contender swipes right back, no one wants to be on these — because deleting such apps probably means you’ve found someone. That’s Hinge’s whole thing. Hinge’s real-world statistics speak for themselves: The “We met” feature asks users how the first date went. Some 90 percent said the first date was great and 72 percent said they’d be down for a second date. Instead of droning questionnaires and emails about the 50 winks you were sent, Hinge uses witty personal prompts and lets you send up to 10 likes per day. EliteSingles Best For Career-oriented People EliteSingles Credit: Elite Singles Specs Free version: Yes Three months of Premium: $57.95/month Six months of Premium: $44.95/month One year of Premium: $31.95/month Buying Options See Details It only takes dating one person with completely different professional goals to make you realize that a relationship can’t stay afloat on romance alone. For those unwilling to budge when it comes to their partner’s educational values and passion for success, EliteSingles attempts to offer a more established pool. The site’s claim to fame is that 82 percent of members are college grads (most being between the age of 33 and 50). This is the place for folks who have hit a comfortable stride professionally and are now pursuing a partner who’s at the same point in their life. The site’s questionnaire decodes 29 personality traits to suggest matches who not only have an income compatible with yours, but with whom you’d mesh based on communication styles, ideal first dates, and whether you’re one to make the first move.  

Past users report a feed full of people who live way farther away than they indicated in their preferences, and, unfortunately, it’s hard for any dating website to catch everyone who’s lying about their job or income. HER Best For Queer Women HER Credit: Her Specs Free version: Yes One month of HER Premium: Starting at $14.99 Six months of HER Premium: Starting at $9.99/month One year of HER Premium: Starting at $7.49/month Buying Options See Details Apps like Tinder and Bumble are technically for *everyone*, but they’ll be damned if they don’t sneak some male profiles into feeds belonging to people who requested otherwise. Given the existence of Grindr and Scruff, the need for an online dating arena specifically for queer women was clear — thus, HER. Founders of the award-winning app are committed to cultivating a space that’s “so ragingly queer” that frustrated women can delete apps that don’t feel like home. As the user base of over 4 million grows, HER could widen your dating pool beyond the queer women you already know. Users can get creative in profile building with categories like diet preferences (like veganism), and star signs, as well as a “What does this mean?” field in the sex, gender, and pronoun categories to supply a more well-rounded understanding of identity. The traditional text bio is where you can flex your sense of humor or describe what kind of relationship you’re seeking. Joining niche groups like “newly out” or “travelers” can introduce you to people using the app for similar reasons. Bumble Best For Outgoing Women And Shy Men Bumble Credit: Bumble Specs Free version: Yes One week of Boost: $8.99 One month of Boost: $24.99 Three months of Boost: $16.66/month Six months of Boost: $13.33/month Lifetime Boost: $119.99 Buying Options See Details In an attempt to correct one of the common dating app gripes — women getting spammed with creepy messages — women are required to message first on Bumble. It pushes some women out of their comfort zone and takes the pressure off of men who hate breaking the ice every time. (With same-sex matches, either party can kick things off.) If no one speaks up within 24 hours, the match is tossed. The photos and short bios are pretty close mock of Tinder, except for the fact that Bumble Boost relieves the anxiety of accidentally swiping left on a hottie by letting you backtrack. With a whole decade of being the number one gay dating app under its belt, Grindr is likely the first gay dating app that a lot of men download. But if you’re looking for a relationship, it’s probably not the last. That’s where Bumble comes in: parent company Magic Labs noticed that there was a spot to be filled for gay men who wanted something more than that intimidating, dick pic-drenched space. Bumble could be a serious option for queer men who need a tamer energy than Grinder. SilverSingles Best For People 50 And Over SilverSingles Credit: Silver Singles Buying Options See Details Pros: Large pool of people 50 or older In-depth personality test at sign-up helps the algorithm find actually compatible matches Cons: Only three to seven matches per day Setting a location limit is basically pointless because you’ll still get matches outside of your radius Dating over 50 means that, more than likely, this is your second or third attempt at love. When match or eharmony’s user bases still pose too much of a never married, no kids crowd, SilverSingles is here to let you know that putting yourself back out there during your golden years doesn’t have to be scary.  A sister site to EliteSingles, SilverSingles uses the same intense compatibility system that EliteSingles does, bringing in the popular big five personality traits to assess five levels of your being: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Rather than sitting around sifting through a never-ending pool, you’ll receive five handpicked matches per day. Reddit user LSMJIMMY, who found the “right one” on SilverSingles in 2020, gave this advice on Reddit: “I put up 18 pictures and changed the primary picture every few days to keep it fresh. I also edited or changed the responses to the questions about once per week. I spelled out what I DID NOT want…I am not a couch potato and love to travel fish, boat, ride motorcycles, hotrods, etc, etc. That cleans out the “sit and knit” crowd and I mentioned that I am “actively romantic” which cleans out the ladies that have lost the Zest for Life, if you know what I mean. I don’t have time to drag this dating thing out, so I think it helped by getting what Who I am and want I am looking for on the table early.” Privacy policy: SilverSingles uses SSL encryption and fraud detection systems to keep your information secure.

Coffee Meets Bagel Best For Getting Out Of Your Comfort Zone Coffee Meets Bagel Credit: Coffee Meets Bagel Specs Free version: Yes One month of Premium: $34.99 Three months of Premium: $24.99/month Six months of Premium: $19.99/month One year of Premium: $14.99/month Buying Options See Details Grabbing coffee is the low-pressure date idea that lets you skip trying to choose a dressy-but-not-too-extra outfit for a concert or a restaurant. Coffee Meets Bagel is like the “grabbing coffee” version of dating apps, aiming to bring an easy-going atmosphere to folks who might just be a little rusty. (It’s actually one of the few dating apps that doesn’t get completely roasted on Reddit, and threads about the app are full of promising success stories about how that Redditor or someone they know met their person on CMB.) Millions upon millions of active users is usually a plus. It is nice to know that your options are virtually limitless, but it’s a bit jarring to have 20 new messages to read every time you sign on. This happens on eharmony and Tinder alike — people want connection, and they want it now. The slow and steady approach is great for singles who are rusty, introverted, or who simply don’t feel like scrolling every free minute. Every day, CMB offers seven of its best matches (bagels) for you, chosen by your answers to prompts, how you swiped on yesterday’s batch, and who has already expressed interest in you, too. You’re encouraged to get the ball rolling with matches disappearing in seven days. It’s less pressure than Bumble’s 24-hour time limit but still eliminates a list full of people who don’t care enough to respond or plan a meet-up.  Tinder Best For Finding A Friend With Benefits Tinder Credit: Tinder Specs Free version: Yes One month of Tinder Plus: $14.99/month Six months of Tinder Plus: $10/month One year of Tinder Plus: $6.67/month One month of Tinder Gold: $29.99 Six months of Tinder Gold: $18.83/month One year of Tinder Gold: $12.50/month Buying Options See Details Let’s just get this one out of the way. If you’re thinking of dating apps, you’re thinking of Tinder. They pioneered the now-ubiquitous swiping function, revolutionizing the world of online dating and boasting 1.6 billion swipes per day. What started out as a niche hookup app has turned into a wingman that most of us have used at least once in our life. As you’re served a series of photos, swipe right if you like what you see and left if you don’t. When you both indicate interest, it’s a match. Tinder may not want to advertise as such, but we all know what it’s mostly used for. You’re quite literally deciding if you want to interact with someone based on nothing but profile pictures and a quote from The Office — but hey, we all know those couples who met on Tinder and have been together for years. It’s fast, easy, and if there’s one app that even the shyest, most skeptical people will be on, it’s Tinder. Tinder is famously free, but fewer people know about the paid upgrades: Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold. These include extras like undoing a left swipe (bless), send “Super Likes” to people you’re really into, and in the case of Tinder Gold, see which users have liked your profile.  Pure Best For Attachment-free Sex Pure Credit: Pure Specs Free version: Yes Buying Options See Details If you got this far and still haven’t found the app for you, perhaps you’re interested in hookup apps instead? Here is one. 

Let’s scrap the dreaded “What are we?” talk, shall we? PURE is the place to find a hookup who won’t text you earlier than midnight. App rules urge you to “pretend like you’re strangers afterwards,” making no-strings-attached the only name of the game here. This minimalistic and hella millennial app is no-nonsense, sex-positive, and even features some art — the blueprint of what a hookup app should be.  Your uploaded selfies, personal info, and conversations with others self-destruct every 60 minutes, promoting spur-of-the-moment and borderline anonymous connections. The app will ask for your phone number and credit card info, but that’s just to make sure you’re a real person. The app uses your geolocation and sends out the sex version of an Uber request, rather than trying to pair you with someone who lives in another state. We like that Pure gives all the feels of a hookup-only site without the obnoxious spam and nudes everywhere. The surge of blatant sex positivity is a breath of fresh air when compared to other dating apps that try to convince you that you’ll find your soulmate.

COVID AND EDUCATION

 

Covid-19 has forced universities across India, and the world indeed, to suspend physical
classrooms and shift to online classes. In India, while this transition has been smooth for
most private universities, the public ones are still adapting.
As soon as the Covid-19 crisis broke out in India, in Kerala the universities like Kerala
University,Calicut University, MG university all announced the suspension of classes
until March 31. While others waited to see what would happen next, they started
exploring online classes. There are many education startups which got boost during this covid pandemic too. 
But as a state like Kerala there are so many Limited conditions that disallow the students
from conducting online mode of education. While technology is enabling, it can also be
limiting, especially in India, and a state called Kerala where we both have and have not
anywhere basic access is a challenge. Not every student has a computer or fast-
streaming internet at home. This leads to issues with attendance and participation in
online sessions. A survey revealed that 100per percent of students were accessing the
materials through the mobile phone where there may not be full data in there phone as
a result they are not able to download material sent by the institute or study online. As a
result around 3 7.5 % students are only studying their online material and 37.5
percentage of students are not able to study the online materials and 25 % of the student
are not even aware of the materials.

Only small percentage of students can only able to
access the materials about 62.5 percentage of students cant able to access the materials
due to the network connectivity problem and around 12.5 per cent due to the insufficient
data and around 12.5 % is due to the unfavorable home conditions that they have and
12.5% they have stress due to the inability to access the materials on time percent of
them had internet connection good enough for streaming real-time lectures. In the
survey about 75 percentage of students have one to five hours online classes are
conducted and about 12.5 percentage of students have for 10 to 15 hours online classes
are conducted in a week as a result of this this online classes this situation of having
stress for the students is highly because about 75 percentage of the students reported
that they have more stress than the offline classes and only 12.5 per cent of the students
said that they have less stress because maybe these students have good favourable
condition at the home and most of the students reported that they have many stress due
to the unfavorable conditions at the home. Most of the students have opted for the online
mode of classes around 50% is to talk about the online mode only 25% is about the
record class. The teacher cares through the online mode of class and in this scenario 62
percent of students have disagreed and 12.5 percent of students have strongly with the
second because the Teacher cannot ensure the full participation of the student in a class.
Most of the students and parents are also feeling tensions about the online conduct of the

exam because in online conduct of the exam the questions are of objective type with the
students not able to write the full answers and the 62.5 percent of students have told that
they are not preparing the objective type of exams. Another important thing that make
the students keep alive and Happy was that of the bonding with their classmates but this
Covid time has destroyed and or the bonding with the classmates in the online platform
37.5 % of students are reported that they are Adjusting for the time being and 50
percentage of reported that they are not satisfied and the 12.5% is a of said that they
have maybe the students were be a group of students who have high network
connectivity and good technology accessibility. Another survey they reported that the
students reported that 87.5%says that online education destroyed their physical health.
These are evidence from the survey which is given by the students from the different
colleges in Kerala.

It is clear that this pandemic has utterly disrupted an education system that many assert
was already losing its relevance. In his book, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, scholar
Yuval Noah Harari outlines how schools continue to focus on traditional academic skills
and rote learning, rather than on skills such as critical thinking and adaptability, which
will be more important for success in the future. Could the move to online learning be
the catalyst to create a new, more effective method of educating students? While some
worry that the hasty nature of the transition online may have hindered this goal, others
plan to make e-learning part of their ‘new normal’ after experiencing the benefits first-
hand.

Book Review on Big Panda and Tiny Dragon

 Have you ever wandered alone on the quiet road,
sighing and getting lost in your deep thoughts? Have you ever felt that
everything in life is nothing but a never-ending struggle? Have you ever
thought that maybe your questions regarding anything always have a sad answer? 


The book “Big Panda and Tiny Dragon” by James Norbury
is the perfect book if you have such thoughts. According to me by reading this
book, one may realize that although life may not be as good as a fairy tale or maybe
as heavenly as garden of Eden but it tells us that life is not only about
negativity but finding simple, happy solutions even in our problems and
negative emotions.

                                                           

               

According to me this book would be able to teach
everyone that life is nothing but a beautiful struggle. The only thing that
anyone needs to do is to relax, sit back comfortably, introspect and live their
lives with a new perspective!

                                                          

This book was written by author when he himself
overcame the phase of depression and sadness. He was really inspired by Lord
Buddha’s teachings. The most intriguing thing which I liked about that book was
the way in which he displayed his learnings in a very simple manner.

In this book too, two or three lines can simply
explain any person to not give up on themselves, to never lose hope and to
always believe in hope, love, friendship, kindness and most importantly in
yourself.

                                                          

This book consists of quotes and pictures which
according to me, at a certain point anyone can relate to. According to me,
there might be questions regarding life which would wander into our minds and
whose answers might be difficult to find. I believe if one would read this
book, such questions having deep answers might be found.


Summary of the book

The book through its deep quotes and pictures depicts
a heart-warming tale of friendship of Big Panda and Tiny Dragon.

They both travel together and have often get lost at
many places. But they don’t mind getting lost as even in that situation, they
both learn something new, something deep and something meaningful about life.                                                                                          

They are each other’s travel companions and even if
they are completely different from each other, they both share a very strong
unbreakable bond, sharing each other’s perspectives about themselves and about
life.

                                                                     

The thing that I personally learned was that it is
okay if some of us feel that they don’t belong anywhere, it is okay to stand
out and it is okay to just be yourself! It is okay to have a different
personality and preferences and it is okay to just be sad!                     


Everyone has different life experiences and being
different is not a negative thing! The two companions were also different from
each other in many aspects, but their bond was strong because they accepted
their differences, shared their perspectives about living life, encouraged each
other to believe in hope, happiness, kindness and most importantly in themselves.

                                                                 

                                              

 

For example:


 The above lines according to me that each one of us
aspire to do something that would help the society and want to change world by
their contributions.  Often, we feel
disappointed because we don’t know how to make our vision into reality.

 But by reading
one can find a simple solution to resolve the above-mentioned thought and that
is to take small steps, taking one step at a time and helping the next person
who is in need of your help.

If small steps can make a huge difference, then similarly
giving a helping hand however small it may be can also make a huge difference
and make the world a better place to live in! 

 

If one looks at this quote, one can interpret that
happiness and positivity, even though it is in small amounts is way much better
than the complete absence of the two.

 This is because
according to me if happiness and positivity is completely absent, then we could
not grow as a person and our negativity and sadness won’t give us a reason to
live! One will only exist then and will be stagnant!

Finally, the most interesting thing that I noticed was
that this book can be easily understood by anyone. The most beautiful thing is
that everyone can have their beautiful perspectives regarding the quotes. The
way the messages have been delivered through pictures can even make a person
who is not interested in reading, interested!

I would personally recommend everyone who is feeling
lonely, abandoned, anxious, sad or unloved to go through this book! Even the
non- reader as well!

                                                               

 I don’t know whether
you will like your journey one you start reading the book or your destination (answers
you are looking for or may be something else) but I can assure you that by
reading this book, you will surely enjoy the company of our beloved two protagonists!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Impact of pre and post industrial policies on Aviation Industry

The methodology of reforms introduced in India in July 1991
introduced a combination of macroeconomic adjustment and structural adjustment.
It was directed by short term targets and long haul targets. 

                                                                   

                                                       

Adjustments were important
in the short run to re-establish balance of payments and to control inflation.
Simultaneously, changing the design of institutions themselves through reforms
was equally significant according to long haul perspective.

                                                                 

 The new government
moved earnestly to carry out a program of macroeconomic adjustment through fiscal
correction. Other than this, underlying changes were started in the field of trade,
industry and the public area.

Impact
of pre and post industrial policies on Aviation Industry

Impact
of Pre 1991 industrial policies on Aviation



According to tradechakra, Aviation Industry in India started in 1912 when the
first flight took off from Karachi to Delhi. 
Indian State Air Services initiated this industry, in partnership with
Imperial Airways UK. But the real initiation for Aviation Industry In India was
in 1932 when Mr. JRD Tata started Tata Airline. In 1946 Tata Airlines was
renamed as Air India.

Nine air transport companies transporting both cargo and passenger traffic
belonged to India after the Independence.  All the existing airline assets were
nationalized by the Indian Government in 1953. 

The main move towards Liberalization was started in 1986 when private
aircrafts were allowed to begin charter and non- booked administrations to all
approved air terminals under the Air Taxi Scheme.


They were likewise allowed to settle on their own choices
regarding fares and schedules. A significant stage towards Liberalization
was in 1990 when India started an open sky strategy for freight which gave
authorization to foreign aircrafts to run freight trips without limitations and
to charge rate without being constrained by Director General of Civil Aviation
(DGCA).


Catering domestic market was assigned to Indian Airline and
International sector was looked after by Air India. Indian Airline and Air
India both enjoyed monopoly over the Indian skies. However, like any other
industry, this industry also suffered from certain limitations pre 1991
industrial policies.
                                                                              


 The services provided was poor, there was frequent delay
in flights and   travelers had to face innumerous hardships
frequently. But the scenario changed post 1991 policies. 

Impact
of Post 1991 industrial policies on Aviation



                                                                  

Post 1991 , after the introduction of new industrial policies,  unprecedented growth for both domestic and
foreign passenger sector was witnessed by aviation industry. According to
tradechakra, “ the monopoly of Indian Airlines and Air India over the Indian
skies came to an end”. The substantial growth in the Aviation industry post 1991
was due to:


  • The entry of private players, increased
    competition ensured better services were provided to the customer.
  • The landscape of the aviation industry
    changed by the  entry of low-cost
    carriers like Deccan, Spice jet, Go Air. According to tradechakra “the no
    off first time fliers in both urban and rural India increased dramatically”.

 

In 1994 Air Corporation act was passed. With the
introduction of the act, private service organizations could now perform both
booked and non-planned administrations in the domestic sector with no restrictions
on the size or type of airplane.

However, to ensure traveler’s wellbeing,
security etc, legitimate development of air transport benefits and defeating
infrastructural imperatives in numerous air terminals were required. Government
gave authorization for expansion to capacity depending on increase in air
traffic gauge.

In 1994-95, government allowed
straightforwardly to import aeronautics turbine fuel (ATF). In 1997-98 to take
the course of liberalization above and beyond, foreign equity participation and
 cooperation up to 40 percent (100
percent for NRI’s) was permitted in the domestic airline segment. Yet,
International service providers couldn’t take stakes either straightforwardly
or by implication without endorsement from DGCA.

Government Initiative To Promote Aviation
Industry :

•        FDI
in Air Transport Services (Domestic Airlines) has gone up from 40% to 49
percent. NRI’s and Persons Of Indian Origin (PIO) have been permitted 100 %
FDI.

•        Private
Service suppliers with five years’ involvement with homegrown area and having fleet
size of twenty airplanes were offered permit to work in International routes. Jet
Airways and Kingfisher aircrafts have begun to operate in International
destinations.




•        The
airplane rules were modified to guarantee and ensure that the Aviation business
stays up with international norms and improvements.

•        Air
India and Indian Airlines were converged to make them more proficient.

•        Greenfield
air terminals at Bangalore and Hyderabad were finished and Delhi and Mumbai air
terminals were rebuilt.


Passage Of Low Cost Carriers (LCC)

The LCC development in India was as Low Price
Tags, Apex Fares, Internet Auctions, Bulk Purchases and Last Day Fares. The
justification for the development of LCC is:


 .          Low Entry Barrier

•        Attraction
Of Foreign Shores

•        Increased
Permitted Foreign Equity

•        Rising
Income Levels And Demographic Profile.

•        High
load proficiency.

•        Operations
to remote areas.

•        Low
cost and Low Frill plan of action.

•        Staff
strength was kept to a base(minimum).

•        Operations
to adjoining nations like Sri Lanka.

•        Successfully
infiltrating the rising working class and first time fliers.

 

Forecasts which were made during that period:



•        The
Center For Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) has anticipated that homegrown traffic
will increment by 25 to 30 percent till 2010 and International traffic
development by 15% by 2010.

•        By
2020, 400 million Indian travelers are probably going to be flying and Indian
air terminals would deal with in excess of 100 million travelers.

•        The
Aviation industry must be made prepared regarding foreign carriers  particularly from the Middle East. The
profitability of the aircraft operators in India were eroded due to global
meltdown and decrease in air travel caused by terrorist activities.

Analysis of Yes Bank Scam

 

Introduction

Yes Bank was
established jointly by Rana Kapoor and Ashok Kapoor in 2004. Although there
were legal controversies regarding the ownership of Yes Bank after the
unfortunate death of Ashok Kapoor, Rana Kapoor had taken the responsibility of
running Yes Bank.

                                                                     

Detail
analysis of Yes Bank Scam

 The fall of Yes bank began in 2008. It was
believed and suspicions began to arise when the working style of Rana Kapoor
changed and he began to lend loans aggressively to “Stressed Companies” and
charged high interest rates on the given loans.

He began to play very
risky game with banking system and these facts were first pointed out by UBS.
In 2015, UBS or Union Bank of Switzerland is a global financial services
company who claimed that the major reason behind the sudden rapid success was
them lending loans to stressed or vulnerable companies.

                                                                     

 Stressed companies are highly risky companies
who are not able to repay loans on time and generally are prone in making
defaults. The reason behind Yes Bank Scam was combination of bad loans and NPAs
(non-performing assets). If for 90 days or more, the loans are still not paid
and the payment is delayed, then such loans would come under NPAs.

                                                                         

The rising NPAs of Yes
Bank were also noticed by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in 2017.It began to
monitor the mentioned bank very strictly. RBI also discovered that not only the
NPAs of the Yes bank was also the bank was hiding its real figure of NPAs. RBI
discovered that the bank was projecting a fake figure of its NPAs. The
difference between the actual figure and the real figure was found to be 3000
crore rupees.

According to the reports, majority of loans had
been given by Yes Bank after 2014. It was also discovered that in 2014, 55,000
crore rupees of loan had been lent by the bank according its loan books. The
loan lending had increased to 2 lakh 41 thousand crore rupees.

From the above analysis, RBI is strictly monitoring
the working of Yes Bank since 2017. However, there are so many loan lending
transactions which still took place between 2017 and 2019. One question which arises
is that in spite of knowing the working and condition of Yes bank, why were
they giving loans to these companies?

 

Consequences

On September 2018, in order to save Yes
Bank, RBI instructed and ordered Rana Kapoor to resign from CEO position. On November
2018, not only the rating of the bank continuously fell but also two
independent directors and a chairman of the bank resigned.

Thereafter, Rana Kapoor was no longer
the CEO of Yes Bank in January, 2019.

Reputed credit rating firms such as CARE
(Credit Analysis & Research) and Moody’s have given very bad ratings to the
bank. According to Moody’s the bank is in a stable condition anymore and it has
given a negative rating to the bank.

 Ravneet Gill became the new CEO of the YES
Bank. The bank still had to face number of hardships due to the scam; booking its
first quarterly loss on April 2019. Moreover, the stock of the bank had been
degraded to 30%, and their NPL ratio fell to 8%. Rana Kapoor had to sell his
entire shares which were worth 142 crore rupees on November 2019.

According to many reports and news, it
was anticipated that RBI might purchase this bank (YES Bank). ED (Enforcement
directorate) found that Rana Kapoor alongside his relatives claimed 78 shell
organizations (is an organization that another organization takes over to
acquire advantage from its name) in beyond couple of years.

All the information and activities performed
by such companies were tracked by ED and CBI through DIN (Director
Identification Number). Thereafter, for performing the crime of fraud and money
laundering, Rana Kapoor was arrested by ED on 8th March,2020.

Measures taken
by RBI

Moreover, on 5th March 2020, RBI brought
this entire matter into their hands by declaring moratorium and setting a
limitation that the individuals who have saved their cash in YES Bank, can just
pull out 50,000 rupees in a month and not more than that, with the exception of
emergency cases. After this the stock of the bank tumbles down, Sensex likewise
tumbles down. 

Conclusion

In spite all of this, on the off
chance that your cash is stored in Yes Bank today, there is no reason that
anyone should fear as your cash is protected and you will get it from the bank
on schedule.

                                                                       

Since, Yes Bank is an exceptionally
gigantic bank and the government in any case will figure out how to run this
bank, since they can’t manage the cost of the disappointment of the bank, since
there are many individuals reliant upon it.

 Furthermore, on the off chance that investors
didn’t get their cash back, the trust and the certainty of the contributors
will lose from the financial framework which not only includes the clients of Yes
Bank but also clients of different banks too.

 Individuals will imagine that now their cash
isn’t protected in any bank, so it’s smarter to pull out their cash as quickly as
possible which might cause a bank run.

This will not only have a negative
influence only on the Yes Bank but also every other banks as well. The entire
financial framework will implode. That is the reason why government won’t allow
this bank to fizzle under any conditions.

Chronophobia

 

What is Chronophobia?

The psychological phobia which is characterized by abnormal,
persistent, unwarranted fear of time or passing of time is known as chronophobia.
Chronomentrophobia, is another relate and rare phobia where people have
irrational fear of clocks and watches.


                                                           

 

Symptoms

 People suffering from chronophobia experience from anxiousness,
depression, uneasiness, panic attacks, and may often feel claustrophobic. People
suffering from claustrophobia feel that they are being closed in where escaping
is impossible.


                                                                 

              

In some more genuine cases, people might encounter shaking, breathlessness,
exorbitant perspiration, sporadic pulses, nauseating perspectives,
powerlessness to express words, tormenting thoughts etc.

                                                               

                                                                         

Victims might have an uneasy feeling that events are unfolding
speedily and they might feel and fear that time is fleeing with themselves. For
them, it is hard to figure out the manner in which situations are developing.

 

Chronophobia makes people experience a sense of derealization.
People suffering from this phobia fear and feel racing thoughts or they might
fear that time is either moving and speeding too quickly or they might feel that
time suddenly slowing down. Patients of chronophobia might also inculcate
symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

 

Victims of Chronophobia

The
victims of chronophobia are generally older people or prisoners in jail (where
it otherwise called prison neurosis). The older people will in general have a
ton of inactive free time, and might feel frequently that time is moving or
passing very slowly.

                                                                   

     

 It is normal for elderly folks’, especially
those confronting terminal sicknesses, to be hyper-mindful of their inevitable
demise (death anxiety), and this consistent danger of death can create a
mind-boggling uproar of chronophobia. As time passes by and people start to age
more, the functioning of their digestion system and mind slows down, making
them considerably more vulnerable to chronophobia.

Jail detainees additionally will in general have broad times of
unstructured time, which might lead them to exorbitant thought of the
