Unnamed Relation

As we know that every person is related to each other in some way or the other. Whether it is a relationship of friendship, parents, siblings, and many more.

But there are some relations which have no name. Yet,they connected,they communicated.

He may remains anonymous throughout his life. But still they exist forever and become so important. When we are in any nameless relationship.They live every moment  with  wholeheartedly, but at the same time there is also the fear of losing . Our heart is in dilemma of the scariest thing of distance whether this diversion would erase all beautiful memories or will they be alive in the core of their hearts.

No one knows their limits in this relationship. We just keep on flowing like a stream of water. This is all life and fate so we have to breathe, belief, hold on and let go off the things with their own pace just to see what happens next.

Even though relationship is unnamed and we don’t know what we are for each other? But we still inside know the name of this unnamed relationship and know what she is for you and you are for her.

In India we call such a relationship as-

‘Rab ne banadi Jodi’ meaning ‘The God made bond’.

TALAQ TALAQ TALAQ : Law and her

Triple talaq additionally referred to as talaq-e-hiddat, is a shape of immediate Islamic divorce which has been practiced via way of means of Indian Muslims The exercise of immediate triple talaq changed into held unconstitutional via way of means of the Honorable Supreme Court in August 2017 The use and standing of triple talaq in India has been a topic of controversy and debute. Those wondering the exercise have raised problems of justice, pender equality. human rights and secularism. The debate has worried the Government of India and the Supreme Court of India, and is attached to the talk approximately a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) stated in Article forty four of the Constitution of India. In July 2019, the Parliament of India declared the exercise of triple talaq as illegal. unconstitutional and made it a punishable act In fact, many nations throughout the globe have already banned the triple talaq Islamic international locations that have banned the triple talaq consist of Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt. Turkey and Bangladesh amongst many others.

Triple talaq ban: saviour or stunt

After many controversies and a lengthy debate, the Triple Talaq Bill cleared the Rajya Sabha hurdle and finally The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act 2019, became law on 31st July 2019, replacing all earlier ordinances. The Supreme Court declared the practice of instant triple talaq unconstitutional and a divorce pronounced by uttering talaq three times in one sitting. including in written or electron le form void and illegal. This is being seen as a major political win of the Narendra Modi government.

The law makes the declaration of talaq a cognizable offence, attracting up to three years’ imprisonment with a fine. In simple terms, a cogniza ble offence is one for which a police officer may arrest an ac cused person without warrant. The offence will be cognizable if information relating to the offence is given by the married woman (against whom talag talag has been declared) or any per son related to her by blood or marriage. The government has instituted the law in the name of justice gender equality hu

The Act makes use of the phrase talaq all through its provisions however restricts its that means through defining the phrase as “talaq-e-bidat or some other comparable shape of talaq having the impact of immediately and irrevocable divorce”. This definition covers the so-referred to as triple talaq — wherein a husband says that he’s giving “3 talaqs” to his wife, or repeats the phrase talaq thrice — as additionally what is understood withinside the conventional Muslim regulation as a “unmarried irrevocable divorce” wherein the husband publicizes he can not revoke the talaq he’s pronouncing. These are the types of divorce which textbooks on Muslim regulation describe as practices “awful in theology however appropriate in regulation” — a humorous proposition, indeed. A constitutionally secular united states isn’t certain to defend through regulation even what’s “appropriate in theology” — of course, theology of any community. It is naive to assume it to legally put in force what’s admittedly “awful in theology” in a specific community’s theology.

The affect that the Act has repealed the Muslim regulation on divorce via way of means of husbands in its entirety isn’t always correct. Its provisions are limited of their impact to talaq-e-bidat, the 2 varieties of that have been noted above. The right manner of divorce via way of means of guys as prescribed via way of means of the Quran and different actual reassets of Muslim regulation stays unaffected via way of means of the Act. Nor does the Act have an effect on in any feel the provisions of Muslim regulation on divorce at the example of girls or via way of means of the spouses’ mutual consent.

Whether a person has reported a talaq as in keeping with actual Muslim regulation or in violation of its precepts might be a count number to be proved via way of means of evidence. In the previous case, the Act will now no longer practice. In the latter case it will, and should, practice with all its vigour.

India current situation

22 nations including Pakistan and Iran have abrogated Triple Talaq either unequivocally or certainly. It is normally accepted that strict minorities in a nation are hesitant to changes, perhaps on the grounds that they feel that adjustment in their own laws may push their religion to a spot where their strict character would be in question. In India, this can be unmistakably seen and subsequently it has consistently been hard to change individual laws particularly with regards to strict minorities. However, taking the case of Sri Lanka here, just 10% of its populace is Muslim still, it struck down moment Triple Talaq in 2006 through a change to Sri Lanka’s Marriage and Divorce (Muslim) Act, 195.

Conclusion

India is an assorted nation where each religion has its significant and has the privilege to proceed with its practices. Muslims are the biggest minorities in India and have been given different advantages to follow their religion and not will undoubtedly do anything which against their religion or something which they are not permitted to do.Thus, it can be concluded that making of Triple Talaq as unconstitutional or void was a big step taken by both legislature and judiciary. It was a dream come of true for the women who were sufferer of its misuse. It was used by people as a toy and used to type “talaq” word 3 times through any means be it oral, written or electronic form and thus turned they customs according to themselves without taking into consideration the rights of women. “Talaq” or “Divorce” as in Hindu law is to be the last resort and cannot be taken merely on a trivial wear and tear of the marriage. Also, the recent trends show that even after being declared as unconstitutional and void people are still using it illegally.

Biotechnology and the humanity

Biotechnology is a rapidly changing field that continues to transform both in scope and impact. Karl Ereky first coined the term biotechnology in 1919. However, biotechnology’s roots trace back to as early as the 1600s when a Prussian physician, Georg Ernst Stahl, pioneered a new fermentation technology referred to as “zymotechnology.” In 1981, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) defined biotechnology as, “the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents to provide the goods and services.” Today, the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) defines biotechnology as “technology based on biology – biotechnology harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and products that help improve our lives and the health of our planet. Concurrent with the collection of personal data, we are also amassing a mountain of biological data (such as genomics, microbiome, proteomics, exposome, transcriptome, and metabolome). This biological-big-data coupled with advanced analytical tools has led to a deeper understanding about fundamental human biology. Further, digitization is revolutionizing health care, allowing for patient reported symptoms, feelings, health outcomes and records such as radiographs and pathology images to be captured as mineable data.

3 Indian Historical Monuments and Their Spine Chilling Back Stories

1. Malcha Mahal, Delhi – Delhi is home to many haunted places but i picked this because of its tragic back story. This mahal was inherited by Princess Wilayat but the property was seized by Britishers who ruled the country at that time which left the princess and her 2 kids homeless. After a 9 year long battle Princess Wilayat was given her place back in 1985 but it was all runied and infested. Depressed she committed suicide in 1993 consuming crushed diamonds, leaving her kids behind and since then those 2 people, the brother and the sister lived there all by themselves. It was said that anyone who went near that area was shot down by them. The brother died in 2017 due to some unknown cause and the sister died a few years before him, date and cause unknown. The mahal is still in ruins and not many people dare to go near it.

2. Mukesh Mills, Mumbai– As the name suggests, it was a mill back in the time, around the 1870s and had a good business. But something happened in the late 1980s and the business was shut down. An unexplained fire broke out at the place leaving the building coal black. This became a true attraction for bollywood directors and actors like Bipasha Basu, have unexplained events like someone possessing them, music heard when no one was around in the building, spotting of mysterious people etc. Many actors still fear shooting there.

3. Kuldhara, Rajasthan– Now maintained by the archeological survey of India, this village was abandoned by the villagers around 200 years ago. They say the Prime Minister, Salim Singh here was a really cruel person and would use unethical methods for collecting the tax. One day his eyes wandered and landed on the daughter of the village cheif. He declared his intentions to marry her. The Paliwal Brahmins were horrified by this proposal since there was no room for inter caste/religion marriages back then. Fed up with his torture all the villagers left the village. No one knows where they went and settled down but to this day, no one can live over night in the village. People who try to, witnessed unusal activites and some of them were even recorded. Some people spotted shadows moving around, weird noises coming or tap on their shoulder when no one was around. This place is still a tourist attraction and people from across the glove visit but no one dares to spend the night here.

Outrigger technology in construction

OUTRIGGER TECHNOLOGY

Outriggers are rigid horizontal structures designed to improve building overturning stiffness and strength by connecting the building core or spine to distant columns. Outriggers have been used in tall, narrow buildings for nearly half a century, but the design principle has been used for millennia.The oldest “outriggers” are horizontal beams connecting the main canoe-shaped hulls of Polynesian ocean going boats to outer stabilizing floats or “amas”.

Features of Outrigger Structural System:

Outrigger system is adopted for buildings that are subjected to large overturning moments compared to shear and lateral deflections.

Outrigger in structures reduces the overall drift and core wind moments.The outrigger system reduces the overall building acceleration due to high winds and improves occupant comfort.

Outrigger systems function by tying together two structural systems – typically a core system and a fringe system – to yield whole-building structural behaviors that are far better than those of the component systems. They do this by creating a positive interaction between the 2 tied systems. The beneficial effect is most pronounced where the responses of the component systems under lateral loads are most disparate. Outrigger system performance is suffering from outrigger locations through the peak of a building, the amount of levels of outriggers provided, their plan locations, the presence of belt trusses to engage adjacent perimeter columns versus stand alone mega columns, outrigger truss depths, and therefore the primary structural materials used.

The main types of outrigger structural systems are:

1. Conventional outrigger system

2. Offset outrigger system

3. Virtual outrigger system

Benefits of an Outrigger

SystemDeformation

ReductionIn a building with a central core braced frame or shear walls, an outrigger system engages perimeter columns to efficiently reduce building deformations from overturning moments and the resulting lateral displacements at upper floors. A tall building structure which incorporates an outrigger system can experience a reduction in core overturning moment up to 40% compared to a free cantilever, as well as a significant reduction in drift depending on the relative rigidities of the core and the outrigger system.

Efficiency

For systems with belt trusses that engage all perimeter columns, columns already sized for gravity load may be ca-capable of resisting outrigger forces with minimal changes in size or reinforcement, as diff erent load factors apply to design combinations with and without lateral loads. In the event that additional overall fl exural stiffness is required, the greater lever arm at outrigger columns makes additional material more effective than in the core. Outriggers may also permit optimization of the overall building system using techniques such as the unit load method to identify the best locations for additional material.

Foundation Forces

A separate but related advantage is force reduction at core foundations. Outrigger systems help to effectively distribute overturning loads on foundations. Even where a foundation mat is extended over the full tower footprint, a core-only lateral system applying large local forces from overturning can generate such large mat shear and fl exural demands, as well as net tension in piles or loss of bearing, that the design becomes uneconomical or impractical. Reducing core overturning and involving perimeter column axial

Why do we hate our bosses?

Cognitive revolution played a huge part in how we interact as groups today. Legends, myths, gods and religions appeared for the first time during the cognitive revolution. So we basically started creating fiction and as a result of that we could  weave common myths such as the concept of a country and things like human rights. Such myths give us the ability to cooperate flexibly in large numbers and this is how leaders emerged.

So how are we doing now as leaders? Today the top google search results for ‘my boss…’is very unpleasent. 90% of the people agree their leaders are incompetent. And it is true. Most leaders have very negative effects on their followers and subordinates,causing low levels of productivity,and high levels of burnout and stress.

An organizational psychologist says one of the reasons might be because when we elect our leaders we can’t discern between these two words: confidence and competence. A lot of people right now in leadership are people who have fooled others that they are better than they actually are. And this is not because they are very manipulative but mostly because they fooled themselves too.  I’m pretty sure you have worked with people who think they are really good at something, when they’re actually not. Also, statistically,they are more likely to be male than female.Men are typically more deceived about their talents than women are. So there’s a sexism converstion here which I won’t be discussing since we don’t have time but the catch is that they are also  more likely to succeed in their careers. So being unaware of your limitations increases your probability of being a boss.

But why did our society start functioning like this ? It’s us.

When we comes to leaders, we tend to gravitate towards leaders who are charismatic and charming We prefer our leaders to be  charismatic and  fascinating.But in reality, the best leaders are humble rather than charismatic,to the point of even being rather boring.This is why they rarely feature in the media or blockbuster movies.If we want to improve the performance of our leaders,we should start by focusing on the right traits.Instead of falling for people who are confident, narcissistic .We should promote people into leadership because of their competence, humility and integrity. Leaderships should be judged on traits like accountability, empathy. Are they able to convey their message to their team, can they keep a team motivated?

Yes,if they are very charming, give groundbreaking speeches and sweep you off your feet,  good. But that alone should not be the criteria of choosing a leader. Look at Elon Musk, that guy can’t speak four sentences without stammering yet he has been successfully leading one of the biggest companies. And anyway we don’t have a good history with  people having over the top speaking skills!

How one family single-handedly caused a drug epidemic in USA

In the Louvre museum paris , the slacker family used to have a dedicated sackler wing. The Smithsonian has the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery.All around the world the sacklers have invested in art. Unfortunately the sacklers are far from dedicated art patrons. 

In 1952, three brothers  Arthur, Raymond and Mortimer bought a small pharma company called purdue- frederick.The company is now known for their drug oxycontin that it has found to be a huge part in the opioid epidemic in the United states. 

In 1971,  Richard Sackler, the son of Raymond Sackler began working for Purdue Pharma as an assistant to his father, the company’s president. He was promoted to the positions of director of research and development and director of marketing. 

 Richard Sackler had a pivotal role in the development of Oxycontin, serving as the driving force behind Purdue Pharma’s research in the 1990s .

In the 1980s, there was a boom in the hospice sector i.e. care for terminally ill. During this time, Purdue released Ms Contin– a morphine based drug for Cancer patients. This was a massive success but Purdue knew they had to do more since the patent was soon going to expire and the fact that Ms contin was a morphine based drug stigmatized it.

So they created a new drug, oxycontin with the active ingredient oxycodone replacing the morphine many doctors falsely believe that oxycodone was weaker than morphine the truth was the active ingredient in oxycontin oxycodone was in fact 50% stronger than morphine later in an unpublished study by Purdue in 1999 the company found that the addiction rate was 13% not 1% the FDA  even  approved a claim the oxycontin’s delayed absorption would reduce the probability of abuse the FDA examiner he was involved in the approval of this claim left the FDA shortly and within two years had accepted a role at Purdue.

Russell Portenoy and J. David Haddox were also recruited by Sackler to engage inside the medical community to promote a new narrative suggesting that opioids were not extremely addictive. 

Purdue pursued an “aggressive” campaign to promote the use of opioids in general and OxyContin in particular.In 2001 alone, the company spent $200 million in an array of approaches to market and promote OxyContin.

–The Promotion and Marketing of OxyContin: Commercial Triumph, Public Health Tragedy(Art Van Zee, MD)

Over the years researchers found strong correlations between areas of high ovepaying rdose rates to high prescription rates. This is how the truth slowly came out. Research indicates that there is a strong correlation between regions of high opioid prescription rates and high overdose rates

Patrick Radden Keefe, in an interview for his book ‘Empire of pain’ on the sackers revealed that during research he found emails that explicitly stated the fact that doctors were not aware that oxycodone is stronger than morphine and they should keep it like that .

Today, Purdue and the Sacklers agreed to a $270 million settlement with the state of Oklahoma over their role in the crisis. Purdue will pay $195 million and the Sacklers $75 million.

Yes, they will pay billions of dollars for their role in causing the opioid epidemic. But when the cases are settled, they will walk away from the lawsuits— still billionaires.

TRANSPORTATION and Electricity Uses

Electricity is relatively  a clean safe form of energy  used properly, the generation and transmission of the electricity affects the environment in smaller or bigger ways. Mostly all types of electric based power plants have some effect on the environment, but some plants have way larger effects than others.Power plants are generally located inside, or next to an existing building, so the footprint is logically small. Most large power plants require bare or cleared land to build the power plant. However some power plants may also require access to roads, railroads, and pipelines for fuel delivery, electricity transmission lines, and cooling water supplies.  

Transportation is one among the very important sectors we cannot do without in the upcoming age and days. However, recent transportation work comes with a long list of problems including  environmental degradation, health implications (physical, emotional, mental)etc. In fact, the transportation sector contributes to 23% of the globe’s greenhouse gas emission resulting from fossil fuel burning. Out of the total greenhouse gas emissions, road transport contributes upto 75% and this value is expected to increase in the future if it continues like this. All of these put a lot of load on the governments to enforce policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 

Electricity is broadly used by the mass public for the transit systems and by electric vehicles around the world. Electricity is used as a fuel by railway in many countries. Electricity is additionally wont to charge batteries for electric vehicles. As many countries frame policies to contain environmental pollution caused by burning of fossil fuels in transportation, vehicles that run on batteries are gaining prominence. So, electricity is seen as a serious contributor within the transition to greener transportation. According to a World Energy Outlook 2017 report published by the EIA, the share of electricity utilized in transportation is projected to double between 2015 and 2040, led by increase within the number of plug-in electric vehicles and rise in electricity usage for rail networks. However, the electricity use in transportation sector is estimated to occupy just 4% of total delivered electricity consumption in 2040. 

With quite 30 models of electrical passenger vehicles slated to enter the market within the next two years, questions on how a transition to electric “fuel” would be managed and the full costs and benefits of such a transition got to be addressed. Some studies indicate electricity could displace an outsized amount of U.S. oil consumption without adding electric generation capacity. Given the current U.S. electricity profile, using electric fuel also generates significantly fewer greenhouse gases per mile than gasoline with potential for greater improvement as more electricity is produced from renewable sources. Moreover, while significant grid management issues would need to be addressed, electric vehicles could have substantial economic value for reducing peak loads for electric utilities, managing excess off-peak capacity, and enabling greater use of renewable energy.

The use of electricity from renewable sources because the energy source for vehicles is an alternative choice to decarbonise the fuels utilized in the transport sector. in addition to decarbonising transport fuel use, electrification of the vehicle fleet has significant local environmental and health benefits, as electrification also will reduce local pollutant emissions.

Covid massacre [ INDIA ]

Did you know INDIA was the first country in the world to beat coronavirus, in jan 2021?

At our peak in May, we had 400,000 cases per day and 4000 death per day. An experts say these figures are a gross underestimate. As we know many death hasn’t be registered in Government data.. Because in village, people were not aware about this. They think people die only with high fever, cough, etc.

Even now rest of the world reopens, We are still suffering. Our people are needlessly Dying. In hospital, there is neither oxygen cylinder nor necessary medicine. Our government has blood on its hand.

There in Feb 2021, Scientists began warning government about the new variants and the rise in cases. And of course, Government ignored.

In march, government refuse to cancel Kumbh Mela,And because of this there has been a significant increase in corona cases.

In April, Many parties leaders attended super spreader rallies in west bengal. So we can say that ” People vote matters, but people life doesn’t. “

Due to this Whole Scenario, Many people were dying everywhere,, Hundreds of death bodies were floating in the Ganga river. Death bodies found in the river of people who cannot afford funeral expenses.

In other hand, we produced more than 60 million vaccine doses for other counties. But we did not make enough vaccine for ourselves.

But nowadays the government is buying vaccines in large quantities from outside countries and is also producing it itself. And they Started large vaccine drive in India. India administered a record 82.7 lakh doses of Covid vaccine on 21 june 2021. i hope everything will be fine soon.

Peace Out.

The effect of climate change on Indian monsoon

Agriculture is the most popular occupation in India. The Indian farmers wait year long for monsoon to come and nurture their crops with some precipitation. The monsoon rainfall is highly beneficial for crops like rice, maize and pulses. However, the monsoon season in India has changed dramatically since the last decade. The 21st century monsoon is quite different from that of the 20th century. This new monsoon is characterized by volatile and erratic rainfall patterns.

North East gets less monsoon rainfall - Pratidin Time

The monsoon rainfall has become quite unpredictable. The rainfall is too heavy in some parts of the country which often leads to floods, landslides and water-logging. And the cause of such erratic rainfall pattern is climate change. The earth’s surface is getting heated up day by day as the amount of green house gases in the atmosphere is increasing.

The greenhouse gases like methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide traps earth’s heat and do not let it escape the earth’s atmosphere. These greenhouse gases are emitted from industries. After the industrial revolution, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere has increased leading to the heating up of the earth’s surface. Greenhouse gases are also produced due to burning of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas. They are also increased by human activities like deforestation.

The more the earth’s atmosphere gets heated up, the more intense the rainfall becomes. Too heavy rainfall is not good for some crops like cereals. Also waterlogging can effect plant growth as it deprives the plants of oxygen and nitrogen.

The western countries are mostly responsible for the emission of greenhouse gases as the primary occupation in those developed countries is industrialization. And the developing countries like India are bearing the brunt of rapid industrialization as their primary occupation is agriculture. If crops are not grown, then it will have a serious effect on the country’s economy. Poor farmers would suffer whose livelihood depends on harvesting and selling crops. The farmers would have no income and their families would starve. It is high time that the government takes this case into consideration and cuts down the emission of greenhouse gases.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Substance abuse or addiction refers to the habitual use or dependency on dangerous substances such as liquor/alcoholic beverages, tobacco, bidis/cigarettes, and medications (for purposes other than prescribed medical treatment). As the variety of addictive substances grows, more and more people, particularly those in their twenties, get addicted. There are numerous elements that contribute to young people and adults falling into the trap of substance misuse. Peer pressure, an unfavourable familial environment, and stress are among these variables.

Substance abuse is a medical and psychological condition that requires treatment. Parents must be considerate to their children, especially during the transition from infancy to adolescence and maturity, when significant physical changes occur. Adolescents are naturally inquisitive; they are constantly discovering new worlds, ideas, behaviours, and relationships. Some people get exposed to medicines as a result of the practise. They are likely to be trapped unless their environment, relatives, schools, and friends teach them about the negative impacts of drug use. The most prevalent and dangerous addictive behaviours are drinking and smoking.

Drinking or consuming liquor/alcohol is a severe social concern. The simplest hobby is to drink and temporarily forget about troubles and tensions. Its addiction has major ramifications. Even with meagre incomes, drunkards purchase liquor while putting the necessities of their families at risk. If they cannot afford the more expensive standard variety, they opt for the less expensive variant. They drink even deadly drinks at times. They lose their wits after drinking. It can result in death or severe disability. Most of the time, after drinking, they abuse their wives and children, resulting in domestic violence.

Smoking is a behaviour that is far more detrimental to one’s health than drinking. It not only harms the smokers, but also the people around them who are affected by the smoke in the air. If we respect the rights of others, we should refrain from smoking in public venues such as buses, trains, marketplaces, and offices. Smoking is a major source of pollution and contributes to the development of dangerous diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and breathing problems, among others. Tobacco use, particularly smoking, is the leading cause of death worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. Smoking in public places has been prohibited by the Union Cabinet. It has prohibited the selling of tobacco products near schools and universities. Manufacturers of these products are required to provide a warning to consumers about the negative consequences of their products in the form of a caption on the product itself.

PREVENTION– Drug and alcohol abuse prevention might begin at home. Parents can communicate to their children about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. Talking to children when they are young, in particular, can lay a solid foundation for drug awareness. This allows parents to favourably impact their children while also teaching them about boundaries. When it comes to teaching boundaries, parents assist their children understand when to say no to something that could injure them while also controlling the dynamic of an inappropriate request. Prevention discussions also foster stronger ties and guidance between children and parents. Parents can build consistency in communication as well as long-term advice for their children. Preventative talks can help an adolescent build trust with their parent and make good judgments about their habits, friends, interests, and influences. There are governmental agencies, community leaders, and school personnel that attempt to teach children about living a drug-free life. Much of this is to prevent teen drug abuse before they reach adulthood or go into the real world. As a result of these educational tools, teen drug abuse has significantly decreased from previous decades.

Is there really a new variant of COVID-19 out there?

From the past couple of days, reports have been surfacing that a new variant of corona virus i.e. a delta variant can be found in a few patients. So how is this variant different and what we need to do to be cautious?

Just when we thought we were going back to normal now, Indian scientists detected a new delta plus variant in 22 samples from all over the country. First found in Jammu and Kashmir, this variant is now also seen in patients of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Kerala. 6 of those 22 sample are from Maharashtra and the remaining are divided between Kerala and Madhya Pradesh. 2 patients of this variant were reported in Ujjain district of Madhya Pradesh and death on one of them, a woman was reported on wednesday.

We are still not very clear about how and in what ways is this variant different from the others and does the vaccine we are provided with is effective on this virus. But yes this variant is yet not classifed as ‘variant of concern’ but we need to be concerned and take all the necessary precautions.

According to Dr. Mike Ryan who is the executive director of WHO, delta variant has a possibility “to be more fatal because it’s more efficient in the way it transmits between humans”. This variant is likely to affect the vulnerable people i.e. people with less immunity according to World Health Organization officials.

So, it is not over yet. Even if we are fully vaccinated let’s not be reckless and wear a mask and maintaing social distancing whenever we are out. Things will get better.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PIZZA DESTINATION?

A pizza lover? Of course, everyone is right! So.. Which is your go to place for Pizza? Must be familiar with “Domino’s” Aren’t you! But do you know that Today’s world’s highest pizza seller brand , Our beloved Domino’s Pizza was once the most criticised food joint and was about to be “abandoned”.

DOMINO’S a well knowned brand all over the world having, 15000 plus stores worldwide with approximately 5,649 stores in the U. S. , 1,232 stores in the India and 1,094 stores in the U.K. is highly popular among customers everywhere in the World. However, as they say everyone and everything have had it’s history, same is applicable here. 

Journey from  Receiving Criticism to Gained Love.

Back in 2009, Domino’s brand image started falling miserably and it’s share price which had already been hit by the recession in 2008 reached down to price of $6 per share. The sales were falling drastically. Domino’s was failing badly and Thus, to take a closer look at the situation the company’s CEO back then ‘Patrick Doyle’ took an insightful look at the reasons for this downfall. Thereby, it was found that there were several blogs, posts, stating that “it’s crust tasted like Cardboard” while, “it’s sauce tasted like ketchup” and many more such demeaning comments flashed upon. The company’s image kept deteriorating. In these difficult times, while any company with such huge base and name like Domino’s would try to ignore or overshadow these comments or rather improve their paid ranking, they decided to face the criticism while being on the Front foot. Accepting it with whole honesty and taking a step forward to actually hear out their customers and enhancing their taste and quality, regain the trust and loyalty of people. Company’s CEO Patrick Doyle took the full responsibility on himself and swore to give a grand and worthy come back. What happened next was remarkable as the company literally called some disappointed customers, critics and those blog post writers to taste and give the honest reviews and feedbacks of their Pizzas. The whole team of Domino’s remain present altogether to hear and diligently take notes on their Shortcomings and obtain the knowledge about what bothered the customers and how bad their pizzas tasted. After listening it all over, Each and every chef at Domino’s worked day and night for the next ’18 months’ to try out all the different spices and mixes to come up with the best, and give a Power pack comeback with their authentic world class Pizzas with invincible taste. While going through this process they actually found out that in order to meet their 30 minute delivery timeline and to cut the costs their supply chain and quality of ingredients was pathetically declined, there were frozen, canned and low quality ingredients which worked as the root cause to these issues. Now, without wasting any time in grief they immediately were all set to turn the tables in their favour.

But How was it possible?

They decided to rejuvenate the whole Supply chain of company, which was extraordinary as it included changing the whole of inventory, processing, packaging and delivery methodologies of on total 4200 stores which were spread on approx 9.33 million square kilometers of area which is three times the size of India. And they, succeeded to do all of it within just 18 months. Moreover, a very sweet and at the same time another courageous move was taken by them that is., the Head Chef of Domino’s himself went off with the pizzas to the houses of their harshest critics and made them taste their freshly made all new Domino’s pizzas. All those people were shook to their core as they got to experience a next level change in the taste and adequately the then worst pizza brand according to them, made them change their perception completely to the state of calling it U.S.’s best pizza place now. What impressed them the most was the fact that their reviews were so considerably looked upon by such a big company and the Head chef himself was on their doorsteps to take their approvals. They started a “YES WE DID IT ” campaign and the Domino’s stock value recorded an increase of 44% in the following month itself. It sales increased up to 14.3% which was the highest quarterly increase in fast food industry, the campaign got approximately 2 billion media impressions. And, the stock rise kept going higher for seven years and took a leap up to 2000%, outshining Amazon, Apple and Netflix.

A LESSON TO THE WORLD.
