Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go. We’ve all been hurt. You can’t be an adult- or teen alive today who hasn’t experienced some kind of emotional pain. Holding on to the pain doesn’t fix anything. Replaying the past over and over again doesn’t change it, and wishing things were different doesn’t make it so.

I agree, it’s not that easy to let things go because of the memories you cherish. But somewhere, the memories you treasure are giving you immense pain that you can’t even carry on your routine life. There are feelings when you often want some sort of closure or revenge for having been hurt. Unfortunately, holding on to this kind of pain only makes things worse for you. Try to express your pain, forgive, and move on with your life.

Things don’t disappear on their own. You need to make the commitment to “let it go”. If you don’t make this conscious choice up-front, you could end up creating disruptions in your own life. To let go is a choice, either you go on living a happy life or hold on the past and live with the pain.

Try to give it a thought, there was also a past before that past when you were living happily. Even it was a relationship, person or event, it is the past now or you can call it a lesson for yourself. I mean, you were happy when it was not there. Things never go the way we planned. Nothing is permanent, this time will also pass by.

Letting go creates space for fresh beginnings: stripping you of what happened yesterday, and enabling the doors of brand new opportunities to open today. It is about accepting what is happening right now and not worrying what will come up tomorrow.

You can’t undo the past, all you can do is to make today the best day of your life. When you focus on the here and now, you have less to think about the past. When the past memories creep into your consciousness, acknowledge them for a moment and then bring yourself gently back into the present moment.

You know there’s a quote that I like too much, ” The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let things go.” To let go doesn’t mean to get rid of, it means to let it be. Be that tree, release the pain and become beautiful again. You have a alluring life ahead!

Jaipur: 5G frequency signals are covered by existing international and national exposure guidelines and regulations for radio-frequency electromagnetic fields. These international guidelines are based on extensive reviews of scientific research published over several decades. And the guidelines apply to exist 2G, 3G, and 4G technologies, as well as other radio frequency environments such as radio and TV broadcasts. Earlier in the year 2020, after a thorough review of the best available science, the independent firm updated its international security guidelines to protect mobile devices and network connectivity. Despite making minor adjustments to the ICNIRP 1998 guidelines, the review concluded that the radiofrequency used by mobile technologies, including 5G, has no adverse effect on human health if these guidelines are at low risk. The World Health Organization has conducted a large number of studies over the past two decades to assess the health risks of mobile phones. To date, there have been no health effects from the use of mobile phones. “COVID-19”.

Is there any future of 5G in India?

Yes, Popular telecom operators in the county provide mobile internet services at very cheap cost as compared to any other county, telecom operators in India are currently planning to get the 5G services to the consumer market, due to high pricing of the 5G spectrum worldwide this would be challenge for the network operators to get 5G to the country and managing the speeds for ever user.

There is no reliable scientific evidence linking 5G or mobile technologies to coronavirus outbreaks. The International Standards Organization considers all possible effects on human health related to mobile phone frequencies, including ICNIRP 5G. After a comprehensive review of the best science currently available, ICNIRP concluded in March 2020 that there would be no adverse impact on human health if there was a risk that 5G frequency enzymes were in their guidelines. 5G Internet services take the protection of our customers, people, and the environment very seriously. We follow national regulations in all markets and continue to do so under the new 5G devices and the new Radio Waves. 5G and other frequencies have been under investigation for many years. A consistent conclusion from public health agencies and expert groups is that all individuals (including children) are protected against all health risks following international guidelines.

What is the millimeter layer and why is it used for 5G network transmission?

Millimeter-wave is the frequency that usually typically in the range of 24–86 GHz and is used today for satellite and point-to-point radio links. They can also be used to provide fast links as part of network expansion in specific areas such as busy urban areas, stadiums, and airports.

At these frequencies, radiofrequency energy is absorbed mostly by the skin. The biological effects of these frequency ensembles have been the subject of many studies and are increasingly being investigated using millimeter-wave exposures.

International guidelines have been extended to 300 GHz, and in a recent European Commission statement.

Do 5G towers expose more radio frequency enzymes than 2G, 3G, and 4G?

With the inclusion of 5G transmitters, the total exposure to radio waves is very low relative to the international exposure limit. When 5G is added to an existing site or new coverage is provided, a small localized increase may occur, however, all mobile technologies, including the 5G, will need to be powered down, and with it radio waves. Designed to get the fastest internet transmittion  speed to the consumers.

A mobile application that can judge the overall quality of a fish to the user. The Japanese sushi restaurant chain uses an AI-enabled app to test the quality of known tuna and that it is an important step in the traditional sushi preparation that requires years of training for experienced consumers. But can it erase the sense of human fish?
The app, called Tuna Scope that was developed by Japanese advertising company Dentsu Inc. It uses machine learning algorithms that are trained on thousands of images of cross sections of tuna tails, a meat cut that can reveal much about the fish constitution. From a single image, the app scans tuna to a five-point scale based on physical features such as meat sheen and fat placement. For someone with experience in fishing, these qualities speak volumes about the type of life the fish earns, what they eat and how much they worked for – hence, the taste that led to it. Dentsu claims that its AI captured the intangible nuances of tuna experimental ingenuity, and in a test comparing the app with human consumers, the app released that quadruple. But sushi experts and fishmonger experts are more aware of Tuna Scope’s ability to replace graders, especially those who buy high-quality sushi meat and sashimi. Keiko Yamamoto, a London-based chef and sushi coach, said it was quite possible to measure tuna based on observations only. Although we often judge the quality of products based on touch, Yamamoto says that with tuna, the look is everything. Yamamoto says the exact qualities that consumers want can be difficult to take in words but are not defined by a trained eye. High-quality tuna has a bright red color and a certain degree of translucency, as if the meat is almost light. It also seems possible to use AI to do basic quality testing, Yamamoto said. He added that it is also not surprising that Japan follows this technology, considering its growing population means that traditional skills are not always passed on to older generations. Currently, according to The Asahi Shimbun, it seems the Tuna Scope is only used to place fish in the Kura Sushi restaurant, which offers cheap sushi and uses other cost-saving devices such as robotic washing machines. Kura Sushi reportedly buys 70% of their fish from sushi overseas and has warned about its current customers going through the old disease. The app means that local agents can perform surveys in the area. But while this type of automation might work for a larger chain like Kura Sushi, it will not meet the needs of high-end chefs and sushi aficionados, according to Richard Cann, marketing manager at T&S Enterprises, a fish-selling company that sells many top Japanese restaurants in London, like Nobu in Mayfair and Zuma in Knightsbridge. This can be done by varying the buying process between the chains and the high-end restaurants. In the Tuna Scope merchandise, buyers use the app to judge the quality of the frozen tuna by photographing the tail section. But Cann says clothes like T&S Enterprise buy whole and uncooked tuna and separate themselves into some cuts. Right now,this app is only for testing purposes not officially rolled out in public so that it can give exact information to the user without dealing with an bugs in application.

Jaipur:

Chairman of Relance Industries Limited, Mukesh Ambani, has just announced a video integration tool, JioMeet, that looks like Zoom. On social media, Indian entrepreneurs harassed her by copying her; One person tweeted that they should have called it “Jhoom” because that is how it should be called in your area. It is not Ambani who is unrelated to the way the tech industry operates, it is Ambani’s critics. They don’t understand how tech performance works.

While this may sound strange, copying is a good way to create new things. This is how the Chinese technology companies got their start – by converting Silicon Valley technology to Chinese and improving it. The Chinese always monitor which app gets success elsewhere, and it doesn’t double before they even start adding features and compositions; they learn from the best and they are improving.That’s how Silicon Valley works and Zoom is a failure of its competing technologies: WebEx, Skype, and BlueJeans.

Steve Jobs built Macintosh by copying the windowsing interface from the Palo Alto Research Center. It has always been shy about stealing great ideas.” Almost every Apple product has features that were first made by others. ITunes was a great innovation back than in time where people used to listen their favraite music on tapes that were huge in size and not very easy to carry all the way around in public. But soundjack introduced their handheld music player for the people, back then apple did that in a more polished manner.

Mark Zuckerberg is rebuilding Facebook by copying from MySpace and Friendster, and continues to copy products. The Facebook sites are for illustrations by Fourquare; Messenger video mimics Skype; Facebook News is a Snapchat photo; and Facebook Live includes the best features of Meerkat and Periscope.Now, Zuckerberg is trying to copy WeChat by combining private messages, parties and payments. That is why he is so focused on getting WhatsApp payments approved by Indian regulators. Before buying the company, he tried desperately to copy WhatsApp, but failed several times. So he ended up buying the company, which had little to no money, for an astounding $ 20 billion, which accounted for nearly 10% of Facebook’s market. This is one of the secrets of Silicon Valley: If stealing doesn’t work, then buy a company.

By the way, they don’t call this copying or stealing; it’s called “information sharing”. Silicon Valley has the highest unemployment rates, and the top engineers rarely work in any one company for more than three years. They always join their competitors or start their own companies. As long as engineers do not copy computer codes or designs, they can build on the work they did before. Silicon Valley firms understand that working together and competing at the same time leads to success. This is reflected in even California’s extraordinary laws, which prohibit non-competition agreements.In many places, business people are reluctant to tell anyone what they are doing. But, in Silicon Valley, entrepreneurs know that when they share an idea, they get an important answer.  So when you walk into a coffee shop in Palo Alto, your requesters will not hesitate to tell you their product development strategies.

Jaipur: Today, Samsung announced their next Generation Galaxy line up in their own Green Unpacked event and the new galaxy phones will be launched on August 5. This is when the Korean giant is expected to clear its next quiz, in the Glass Note series 20. The Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event is usually a great event every time but this time due to COVID-19 is stopping Samsung to pause for a while before creating history in the flagship smartphone department across the globe. Samsung dropped it recent design that was used for S20 devices, the Galaxy Z Flip, at an Unpacked event earlier this year. The August event will not only see the company unveil the Galaxy Note 20. Also, it is being said listed devices will come up with 5G support that can support gigabit internet speeds. The Galaxy Z Flip, the Golden Fold 2, Galaxy Buds Live, and most likely the Galaxy Watch 3. A person confirms that the Samsung Note, note 20 Ultra will indeed introduce the new Mystic Bronze colour. It was accidentally revealed by Samsung on its Russian website over the weekend. Also, in tech community people already heard a lot about one of the upcoming variants of the Galaxy Note 20 – the Ultra high-end Galaxy. Real-time images of the device appeared again online earlier this week, confirming the build, cameras, and more. The Galaxy Note 20 series will be powered by Snapdragon 865 Plus, that is a given. It means you will get 5G connectivity for all the differences. You will get up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of built-in storage. The Green Note 20 Ultra will probably come with a 6.9-inch WQHD + (2960 x 1440) AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate on the front. It will be remembered on both ends, including small bezels, and a small selfie camera hole. Other variants of the Note 20 are rumored to include a FullHD + 60Hz standard panel, which will be molded into many hands comfortably, In a while as seen in past Samsung Phones are really very comfortable to hold in the hands and feels like a solid built altogether. The thing that will most grab your attention that, you can see that the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will come with a quad-camera system. The camera sensor details are not yet told by the company, but the leaks will be soon out to the audience that are interested in the tech community. But rumored that it will feature the same 108MP sensor as the Galaxy S20 Ultra. You will also find an Ultra-wide camera, a periscope camera (minus the 100x Space Zoom feature), and a 3D sensor on this phone. The Galaxy Z Flip 5G, In the tech community Evan Blass is sharing information of the new Samsung devices lineup and its galaxy unpacked event via his tweets. It is pretty much confirmed that this time Samsung is planning something great and big for their customers via offline and online platforms. This time competition will be much higher than before Samsung is playing with its software algorithms and the overall quality product for a competitive price point.

Jaipur: AMD is finally back with its alll new Ryzen 3000XT CPU – Ryzen 9 3900XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT and Ryzen 5 3600XT. Each of the graphics adds frequency over its predecessors and aims to disconnect Intel’s 10th Gen CPUs, or at least give it a headache for Intel. AMD is working really hard this time for its new lineup of processor its the new Ryzen 3000XT CPU – Ryzen 9 3900XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT and Ryzen 5 3600XT. Each of the graphics adds frequency over its predecessors and aims to disconnect Intel’s 10th Gen CPUs, or at least give it a headache for Intel. If you are wondering what the difference is between a new CPU and its predecessors, you can see the specifications above. There are high bandwidth frequencies across the Ryzen 7 3800XT which see a huge increase from 4.5GHz and Ryzen 7 3800X to 4,7GHz high single-core boost and new CPU. Robert Hallock of AMD spoke about the development of the Ryzen 3000XT series in a recent conference call with it. While there is an obvious increase in height and thickness of foundation, which would translate into an increase in thin and multi-layered work, this, according to Halcock, is not the whole picture.
Updating from Ryzen 9 3900X to Ryzen 9 3900XT, for example, is not recommended by AMD. But it expects a noticeably improved performance compared to the more well-known Ryzen CPUs. This thanks me for the advancements in the Zen 27nm production process and the frequency of the upper box, and we’ve been able to see more headroom. Specifically, the new CPUs incorporate ‘better material’ transistors than those found on 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs. In short, this means that they are able to hit high frequency while remaining in the power envelopes in front of them.
In addition to not improving on the popularity of the Ryzen 5 3600X, the new CPUs tend to focus on those who like to hold and those with less flexible clocks. First of all, it costs a lot, as the Ryzen 9 3900XT means selling for at least $ 80 more than the current price of the Ryzen 9 3900X. And they come with a box cooler, unlike other 3000-series CPUs AMD expects potential owners to want to use third party cooling, and I honestly agree with that. The Ryzen 9 3900XT managed a 4.3GHz all-terrain boost with 1.325V, which is reasonable but not out of place for something I found with my 3900X sample, even though I have high power. The Ryzen 7 3800XT did much better, however, achieving 4.4GHz impressive edge-key at 1.325V volume. The star of the overall lineup is the new Ryzen 5 3600XT, which managed 4.6GHz basic overuls at just 1.325V. This is 350MHz higher than all the stock-saving speeds I have seen and compared to high-capacity single core CPUs, which means it is extremely suited for this CPU. Consumers might be seeing significant boost as compared to last year Ryzen processors and overall performance and battery performance as well as thermal performance is a step up in a lead this time for now.

Untouchability is a practice of discriminating against individuals and groups based on their cast and jobs done by them. Untouchability is practiced for a very long time. It applies to the Indian Caste system. The untouchables are often treated with discrimination because they are inferior and they belong to lower cast. They have been going through various forms of discrimination in almost every area.

History of Untouchability in India

The Dalit word untouchable is derived from Sanskrit meaning broken or depressed. Some people believe that the untouchability system exists not only in India but also in other countries such as Japan, Tibet and Korea.

The layers of castes are taken from Vedic texts dividing people into four main groups: Brahmans – Priests and special people, Kshatriyas – Heroes, Vaishyas – Small businessmen and merchants, Shudras – Sanitary workers. Therefore, this distinction among the people of ancient India was largely based on the consideration of human activity.

Struggles for the Elimination of Unouchability

After years of fighting and dominating the oppressed class of people, the practice of untouchability still holds the mark in many communities around us. Even educated people follow these practices.

Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi were among the prominent leaders who fought strongly against the abolition of the untouchability system. Therefore, the hard work of such people has given the Dalits the opportunity to express themselves and to promote equality, harmony and brotherhood in society.

Amendments to the Constitution

After several movements and a hard fight to end the practice of untouchability, a constitutional amendment was made to achieve the interests of the oppressed classes. Article 17 of the Indian Constitution abolished untouchability and declared it as punishable act. According to this, no one can stop Dalits or Harijans from entering temples, streets, buses, etc. They are free to use all public services with respect and dignity. Also, no one can refuse to sell anything to the Dalit people.

The government also offers reservations to these forts. Reservation means that a certain percentage of places in Government colleges and jobs are reserved for people from lower classes. Thus, it ensures that their past oppression does not affect their present progress and their future. The reservation also aims to provide them with an appropriate educational opportunity that benefits them and their families and future generations.

Today’s Unouchability Status

Today the concept of untouchability differs from ancient India. Humans have become increasingly knowledgeable and adaptable. Without a constitutional amendment; untouchability, and caste discrimination still occur in society. Politicians use this to boost their banks’ ability to gain votes in government.

The Dalits living in cities are less vulnerable to this racist practice as compared to those living in rural areas. People in rural areas prefer to stick to their old beliefs, practices and refuse to accept the change that has been made for the betterment of society.

Conclusion

All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. We will not be prejudiced and dominate others because of their status. We must teach our children the importance of understanding, giving, and equality with all people. The Dalits face severe discrimination because of their services such as cleaning public places etc. Basically, we will respect them more as they keep our community clean and healthy. Therefore, the new generation must take the case and strive to eradicate it completely.

Jaipur: Logitech is out with its new offering in the Indian market with its G502 mouse for the gamers. And the most obvious reference here is the quarterly financial statements of firms making PCs and gaming devices. Logitech is one of them. It has been around for years now and has managed to stay strong in a market like India, offering new additions more often than ever. Adding to that long list of G502 Lightspeed mouse. Now, this could ring the bell for PC players and enthusiasts. That’s because the Logitech G502 gaming mouse already exists in the world. However, Lightspeed is a wireless version of it. We have been using the G502 Lightspeed mouse since the last few weeks, playing as many shooting hours and arcade games as possible on our gaming machines. While there are many benefits to be discussed in this dangerous priced at 14,995 rupees for a mice, there are a few minor problems to have with it. And yes, if you pay ₹ 14,995 for a wireless mouse in India, you really expect to win the whole game. Logitech says that its G502 Lightspeed completes the construction of a wall similar to the endoskeleton chassis. That’s not a new magic structure you’ve never seen before but a winning design formula that the company hasn’t bothered since the G502. And it’s interesting because the design itself is five years old and is still well supported compared to its rivals’ competitors. Measuring 5.2 x 3.0 x 1.6 inches, the mouse has RGB light now and a bunch of buttons on the left side are a little heavy as it retains six critical buttons. These include a sniper button that lowers DPI sensitivity to 400 precision, two DPI adjustment buttons, two large thumb buttons that can be used, and a standard left-click button. The small problem here is that since the left side has more than half buttons, everything is in the right width from your thumb, it could result in accidental clicks during critical situations during combat games. It happened to us during the Modern War. This is not a breach of contract but is something that can be annoying at times. A little extra room for thumbs up was really appreciated. At the centre you find a graphic display, a navigation key and an order button that shows the battery indicator, and the left. On the right, you find the standard click button. And all of this combined gives you 10 buttons in total, all of which can be customized using G Hub company software. If you use G502 Lightspeed, 99% of the time you will need the company’s G Hub software. Not only is the software obligatory for the mouse to run but allows you to touch DPI sensitivity levels from 100 to 16,000, customize the backlight (the only part of the lighting that hides where you keep your hands) and, adjust those gameplay style buttons. The software itself is easy to use and friendly enough not to bother you in any way. It will attract more attention in the audience due to its unique style statement which makes it look and feel different from any other mice available in the market especially in India where competition of wireless mouse and peripherals are growing day by day.

Late K-pop star Goo Hara’s ex-boyfriend Choi Jong Bum will serve jail time for blackmailing her over sex videos that played a part in her evident suicide. on July 2, the verdict for Choi Jong Bum’s crimes was finally served and shockingly he will serve jail time after he was initially given a suspended sentence.

In 2018, Goo Hara- a member of former girl group Kara- told local media in an interview that her ex threatened “to end her entertainment career” by leaking their sex videos. A CCTV clip of the couple was also found in which the singer was kneeling before him supposedly begging him not to.

On November 24, Goo was found dead at her home in Seoul, believed to have taken her own life after facing all the abusive comments following the reports about the video.

Choi, a hairdresser, had physically assaulted the idol and blackmailed her with a sex tape in September 2018. Last year, he was convicted of multiple crimes including blackmail and inflicting injuries, and was given a suspended jail term. Both he and the prosecution appealed, and the Seoul Central District Court on Thursday ordered a heavier sentence, jailing him for one year.

The appeal was held on May 20,2020, and he pled guilty to all charges except for the one regarding the nonconsensual filming.

His blackmailing over the footage and physical assault had seriously damaged the late star’s reputation and left her with an irreversible trauma. ” Choi was well aware that the degree of damage would be very serious if the videos were leaked, given the victim was a famous celebrity” the court said in a statement. But the court said that there was not sufficient evidence that she did not consent to be filmed.

Goo Hara’s brother attended the final sentencing and he met reporters afterwards, he said that the small prison sentence he’ll serve will provide a source of comfort to their family. However, he added that they found regrettable that he was not found guilty of filming her without her consent and that he was sentenced to only one year. He also added that he won’t stop fighting and will pursue a final appeal to increase his prison sentence.

South Korea, being a conservative country, where women who appear in such videos often feel shame despite being the victim and are forced to face ostracism and social isolation if the image became public.

Hara’s Instagram account was flooded with hateful comments about her appearance and history with Choi. Her death came a month after another K-pop star Sulli and a close friend of hers took her own life after a long struggle with online bullying.

Goo Hara’s fellow KARA member Kang Ji Young opened up about the late singer confessing that she misses her and urged her family to stay strong.

Who is a hypocrite? The answer is simple: A person who pretends to have certain beliefs, attitudes or feelings that they do not posses. It is not a result of having double standards but pretending to have single standards. Not practicing what you preach; lacking the willpower to live up to your own ideals; behaving in ways you obviously know are wrong indicates clear moral failings.

Hypocrisy typically involves condemning the immoral acts of others while engaging in those acts ourselves. For many of us, a huge part of daily conversation involves gossips. We love to talk about the bungles and blunders of family, friends and moreover, celebrities. And this what the news organizations and social networks took advantage of. There are various shows that create rumors and controversies about celebrities. In sweet and simple words, these organizations and networks are making money through hypocrisy.

Imagine having a friend who claims to be an open minded person about relationships, always telling you to follow your heart and what not, but when he gets to know that his own sister is dating some guy, the open minded brain closes. I mean it’s only a matter of fact that we all want to act fairly until we are put on the spot and are facing our own personal consequences. Including those people who are saying JUSTICE FOR SUSHANT- are themselves involved in bullying someone by saying cuss words, judging on their looks, appearance and gender.

Hypocrisy is somewhat more complicated . It can manifest in several ways, and for several reasons, and often times the people guilty of it aren’t doing it purely for their own-self.

Also, people tend to react more strongly to hypocrisy when it includes criticism or negative judgement. A politician who criticize homosexuality and attacks gay rights, but is then found to be involved in homosexual activities himself. This will make people angry and demanding retaliation.

Similarly, people are far quicker to notice and call out hypocrisy when it goes against their own beliefs. A teacher you dislike is against bullying and ragging but caught taking sides of the bullies of school. Hypocrite! Just drag them out of the school! But if it’s a teacher you like? Unfair school! No sense of justice! He should be given another chance, etc. Basically people aren’t 100% rational or consistent.

Though there are some positives to point out hypocrisy. When called out on hypocrisy, people can end up more dedicated to the beliefs and practices they claimed previously. So don’t be afraid to point out hypocrisy when you see it, you might be doing some good overall.

For many, music festivals are a way to let off steam and watch some of their beloved artists perform, but Tommorowland is not your typical music festival. In fact, the festival, held in the town of Boom, Belgium, is perhaps one of the most effective and globally loved brands that not only includes electronic dance music but interactive games and workshops. If you haven’t heard about it, you’re up for a ride.

Despite being a relatively new festival, Tomorrowland staged in countryside between Brussels and Antwerp, has emerged as one of the biggest and most popular music events in the world. Every year, the festival encounters the doubling of its usual visitor capacity and often times hundreds of thousands of tickets are sold out in a minute.

Tomorrowland is not just a big deal simply within the confines of the massive festival site. Rather, it seems the entire country looks forward to the weekend.

In Boom, townspeople wave as hoards of bikes, cars, shuttles, and pedestrians take over their city, where the population hovers around 18,000 during every month except for July. Tomorrowland flags hang from the windows of larger homes on highway and side streets. Older residents sit outside bars drinking Hoegaarden and chain-smoking while enjoying the neon spectacle. Local kids high-five as you walk the path towards the main entrance. It seems it’s not just dance music lovers who have given their trust and respect to Tomorrowland, but the townspeople too.

Of course, the excitement intensifies once you walk through the gates alongside tens of thousands of fellow dance music lovers from every where except from Antarctica. Once inside, there’s something happening everywhere, with sounds from techno, to house, to hardstyle to bass to EDM to trance coming at your ears from all directions. You can see the Tomorrowland logo on every conceivable item, including hats, t-shirts, fire cannon lined lily pads, park benches and lampposts.

Tomorrowland’s main stage has become an icon in itself, and its ambitious designs each year help to make the festival venue instantly recognizable around the world.

In 2012, the stage was a huge volcano, erupting in fireworks. Fire, smoke, and confetti are blasted out from the stage, settling on the artistic “valley”. The deep thumping bass follows you around the small town of Boom and the park hosting the event. The alleyways are full of happy vibes walking and dancing.

There are usually 16 stages and 400 DJs, blasting out music non-stop. Whether you like electronic music or not, it is hard not to be swayed away in the atmosphere.

Earlier, the festival’s authorities announced that this year the festival will be happening from 25-26 July, 2020, open to all ages and places. This year’s theme was decided to be revolving around ‘ Reflection of Love- Chapter-1’ with 18 stages. But, unfortunately the event has to be cancelled because of the pandemic and postponed for 2021.

   Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu, popularly known as, Colonel Santosh Babu by sacrificing his life at the age of around 37 years as the Commanding Officer of Indian army has proved that a senior officer along with soldiers can make supreme sacrifice for the integrity of the country.  Because of sacrifice made by Colonel Babu and other 19 soldiers in the Galwan region, Chinese troops on 6 July 2020 moved back around two kilometres from Patrolling Point 14, the site of the June 15, 2020 clash. Satellite images confirmed Chinese troops had vacated the Galwan areas.

   This time leaders of China has understood India is a great power and no longer situation is ‘in 1962’ and that is why they have pulled back. China with 92 percent Han community is dominated by Han leaders whereas India is pluralistic country. Many cases reveal that for simple reason severe punishment is inflicted to the staffs in China.  Recently (June 2020) workers from a decorating company in China’s Guizhou province were forced to eat live earthworms after failing to meet their sales target indicating violent nature. Another incident is about the Tiananmen Square protest where student-led demonstrations calling for democracy, free speech and a free press in China were brutally suppressed. Many students were massacred in a bloody crackdown, known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, by the Chinese Government on June 4 and 5, 1989. When I visited China many Chinese persons told me in this regard in whispering voice. Also it is reported that the Chinese Government has detained more than one million Muslims in the concentration camps. Most of the people who have been arbitrarily detained are Uighur Muslims, of Xinjiang region. Human rights organizations, UN officials, and many foreign governments advised China to stop the crackdown.

   Colonel Santosh Babu was born in 1982 to Upender (father, retired bank manager) and Manjula (mother) in Suryapet, Telangana and believer of Christianity. Colonel was married to Santoshi and the couple has two children—one daughter and one son both below 10 years of age.

    It has to be agreed that Indian soldiers under the leadership of Colonel Santosh Babu has taught a good lesson to the China. According to South China Morning Post, 5 July 2020, “Both sides have instead amassed large numbers of troops and weapons, along the undemarcated border, or the Line of Actual Control, since the largely hand-to-hand brawls on June 15. Along with an undisclosed number of Chinese casualties, 20 Indian soldiers were killed in the disputed Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh, known in China as Aksai Chin, where the two countries also fought their short but bloody 1962 conflict”. Further, according to Wang Dehua, an expert on India at the Shanghai Municipal Centre for International Studies, “In the absence of imminent border solutions, both sides need to set aside past grievances and differences on the border issue and find ways to coexist and thrive together by maintaining the status quo and avoiding misjudgement and opportunism”.

    Activities of China from 1962 glaringly reveal that they are not reliable rather cunning because backstabbing at any time can be done by them. According to South China Morning Post, 6 July 2020, “Indian soldiers who died in close combat with Chinese troops last month (means June 2020) were unarmed and surrounded by a larger force on a steep ridge”. So it is evident that they are coward because killing of unarmed persons at any circumstances is deplorable. By banning 59 Chinese apps, the Government of India has done a commendable job and taught a good lesson to them. 

  Telangana Chief Minister Hon’ble K Chandrashekhar Rao on 19 June 2020 announced “the State Government would extend all help to the family of Colonel Santosh Babu who was martyred in the clashes with Chinese troops in Ladakh’s Galwan valley”. The Chef Minister further declared that, “The State Government will give Rs 5 crore cash to the family, besides a residential plot and Group 1 Job to his wife”. “For other 19 martyred army men who were killed in the same incident, KCR said the State Government would give Rs 10 lakh each through the Defence Ministry”.

Salute to Colonel Santosh Babu and all the 19 soldiers for exposing the backstabbers by saving the Galwan valley.
