The Success Story of Jio

Although the richest Asian in the world, Mukesh Ambani said in 2018, “The idea of Jio was first seeded by my daughter, Isha, in 2011”, the real origin of Mukesh Ambani wanting to start a telecom company goes way back to 2002. The Reliance group first entered the telecom business with Reliance Infocomm in 2002, but then a cold war had begun between the brothers, Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani.

Three years later, unable to run the Reliance empire together, the brothers split up, ending a long business feud. It was their mother who divided the business between the two. While Mukesh Ambani got control over the exploration and production, petrochemicals, refineries and marketing under the name Reliance Industries, Anil Ambani got Reliance Energy, Reliance Infocomm, and Reliance Capital, and named his company Reliance-Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (R-Adag).

In 2006 the brothers signed a contract saying the two will not venture into markets that the other is in but this contract was discontinued in 2010 for various reasons, which in turn allowed Mukesh Ambani to finally venture into the telecommunications market.

Two weeks later, RIL bought 95% stake in Infotel Broadband Services, the only company to have won the auction of broadband spectrum for pan-India, for USD 1 Billion.

In 2013, RIL renamed Infotel Broadband Services as Reliance Jio Infocomm, becoming the only company to have a pan-India broadband spectrum, which it later used to roll out 4G services. But it took Reliance about six years to launch commercial mobile network services. But once it commercially launched in September 2016, it took the market by storm.

When Mukesh Ambani unveiled Jio in 2016, he announced Jio’s data, voice call and video call, and the many Jio applications, like JioTV, JioCinema, and JioMusic, among others, would be available for free till the end of the year, which was later, extended till March 2017.

Over the next three years, Reliance offered Jio services and 4G smartphones at extremely cheap prices, which resulted in Jio rising as the largest telecom operator with over 330 million subscribers in mid of 2019.

To expand its territories, between July 2016 and August 2019, Reliance acquired stakes in 18 companies in areas including artificial intelligence, media, entertainment, software simulation, logistics, and music streaming. During the ongoing pandemic he raised over USD 20 billion from global investors including tech giants like Facebook and Google.

Mukesh Ambani strategically transformed his telecom venture into a full-fledged digital tech platform, often compared to Jack Ma’s Alibaba in China. Unlike other Indian telecom giants, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea, Reliance never considered Jio as just a telecom venture.

Experts believe that this is just the beginning of the long and ambitious mission of Mukesh Ambani with Jio.

BOOKISH TERMS

Don’t judge a book by its cover. But, who can ignore if the books come with eye-grabbing front covers and alluring editions? Book readers have a lot of Idioms and Phrases and especially things names to convey their ideas among themselves. But, not everyone knows the difference between the books and those names. Thus, we are going to look at those bookish terms (Especially about book editions) and their meaning and I will include some pics in each section so that you will get a clear idea about all of them. Book editions have a great part in the lifespan of the books. If the quality of the book is promising, they can live until your grand grandchildren age. So, choosing a book is not merely choosing the title or the plot of the book. But, it’s an investment to pass knowledge through generations.

Paperbacks

Paperbacks are common books that we see and buy day to daily life. Paperback editions are based on thin front binding and are most fragile. Paperback always has good designs on its front cover. And easy to read, lightweight and comfortable. Paperbacks are pocket and travel-friendly editions. If you are a person who would like to read while traveling, paperbacks are an adequate option.

Hardcovers

Reference image: Circe by Madeline Miller

Hardcovers are the most expensive editions in books categories. They will have thick hard binding rather than a thin paper front cover. And to the bonus, they will have a highly decorated protective cover. Which helps the hardcover to remain dust-free. (To be honest, the binding of the book will be hard and plain but the protective sleeves will be decorative. thus, we will take care of the sleeves as much as we care about the book.) Some hardcovers come with designs even in the binding part. Those are called as special editions. Hardcovers are heavyweight and double in price range comparing to paperbacks. But, still, they are the real shelf slayers. If you want to collect books. Hardcover can give a dramatic image to your shelves.

Hardbound

Hardbound books are nearly hardcovers but don’t have protective sleeves. They have a hard binding with attractive designs on them. But, without protective sleeves. Some hard bounds come with gold dust paper edges which is an alluring part of these books. These kinds of editions are also heavily weighed some short stories and novels contain lesser pages have no effect of hand pain while reading. Hardbound gives an aesthetic, classy, and breathtaking vintage look to your collections. The idea of hardbound books is to giving us some vintage and classical themes while reading.

Pirated Books

Reference image: Ink spilled and poor quality pages from the book IKIGAI


Pirated books are cheap books but which are illegally printed. Some publishing houses print them without the author and the authorization’s/copyright’s permission. And those books are highly cheap compared to any other editions. They will have tons of errors and misprints. So, even though if you don’t want to have that book you can’t even sell them at half rate. Because the lifespan of Pirated books are less than 30 years. And no one will love to buy misprinted and ink-spilled books. So, whenever you are going for a sale if the books are cheap flip those books 1000 times and make sure it is not misprinted, ink spilled, cross alignment, missing pages or black pages in between the chapters. And one more thing to add, Pirated books are unauthorized copies. Thus, it won’t give any profits to the Authors. As readers and book admire we should support them will all our efforts. So, spending a little more on good books is not spending it’s an investment for the future.

Mira Bai and her Devotion for Lord Krishna

One of the most prominent figures of the time of Bhakti Movement in India was the great Mira Bai. She was Lord Krishna’s greatest devotee and her love for his Lord was uncountable. She was the one who had a huge pattern of skills and had a keen obsession for spirituality. She was so much in love with Lord Krishan that she used to consider herself as his better half. Being in immense pain her love for him has alleviated her tedious pain and suffering. From birth to her journey in his in-laws family she always got a sophisticated and conservative household. But despite of all these love and comfort she chooses her painful suffering and demonstrated her soul passion for Krishna more relaxing. She publicly condemns the outdated thinking also refused to accept her marriage and all the martial pleasure she got. She has not only projected her love for her Lord in emotional lyricism but also presented her engrossment with Supreme of the Universe. Mira was a person who always believed in listening to her heart as a result she always refuse to accept caste and class and practice dancing and singing publicly and courageously in the temples and kept giving company to the people engage in Holy work. 



In her poems she always expresses her strong desire and longing for her unification with her great Lord. Love is the predominant feeling in all of her poems. Through all her poems her deep love and her immense dedication for Lord Krishan could be easily identified. The Rasa which is predominant in her poem is the Shringar Rasa.  This rasa focuses on expressing love, romance, beauty, and aesthetic sense. It is the predominant rasa during the phase of adolescent; it is usually used with the agenda of attracting and showing the enormous love for the beloved. Through her aesthetic dance and music she shares her love for her divine Lord. In her maximum poems she association her Lord with the color blue and black which depicts that her beloved is the avatar of incredible God Vishnu who is linked with the color blue because of his association with water. Mira Bai’s husband is Kind Rana and he with his family members attempts to poison Mira because she was the one who was breaking all the laws and rules of the norms to make her beloved her own. Just like Krishna was poisoned by Putana when he was infant similarly she was also given poison. Thus, there was a parallel of line drawn between both of them. Still after so many attempts no one could separate Mira from her Divine Lord. In her poems she calls him as “Mountain Lifter” with reference to the story of little Krishna where he held up Mount Govardhan in his little finger to save the cattle from the rain God Indra’s wrath.  In one of her poem she talked about her marriage with her Lord. Her abiding belief about her marriage to Lord of Braj is demonstrated in her poem. She describes the marriage thou it was just a dream was extremely sensual and noticeable. She gives entire description about the guest, the rituals, the customs of Hindu traditions and the secret fire around which they are walking. In the poem “Let us go to a realm beyond going” she expresses her strong love and passion for her Divine Lord. She wishes to go to a kingdom of death where people are afraid of going. She wishes she could go to a world from where she can regain all her lost power. She wishes to dance in a distinctive cloth with ankle bell with her Dark Lord. 
 
Mira Bai is a supreme and iconic devotee of Lord Krishna and she always considers herself her wife. Her initially love for him was at private but later it turn out to be an open one. The most unique thing found in her poem is that it has the ability to travel throughout the Indian Subcontinent. She created Sagun Poetry for her Dark Lord. The emotion which is highlighted in her poems is love, devotion and separation for her Divine. All the ups and downs she faced in her tedious life and her turbulent story itself gives us the inspiration that one should never lose hope, courage and love for the sake of society. All these characteristics of Mira Bai make her an immensely strong character. 

Belarus: Escalating political tension and sanctions

Belarus is an overlooked country that is located east of Poland and south of Lithuania and Latvia. It is bordered by Russia in the East and also bordered by Ukraine in the South. The landlocked country has an area of 207,600 square kilometers (80,200 square mi) and a population of little over 9 million people. Belarus was one of the newest countries that were formed after the disintegration of the USSR in 1991.

Alexander Lukashenko was elected Belarus’s first president of Belarus in 1994. Since then he has held the position and has been governing the country for more than 25 years. Lukashenko’s style of governance has been deemed as authoritative as there have been no free elections since he got elected. He has maintained many of the Pre-Soviet policies and Belarus’s Democracy Index rating is the lowest in Europe. In the 2020 Belarusian elections, Lukashenko was declared the winner against the opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. The election was marred by allegations of widespread electoral fraud. Many western countries had demanded a re-run but that never happened. This also triggered mass protests across the major cities in Belarus. But to control the critics and protesters, the government reacted with brute force, arresting demonstrators and sending numerous protestors behind the bars.

In May 2021 the kidnapping of opposition journalist Roman Protasevich and his girlfriend, Sofia Sapega was another sign of the Belarusian government’s woes against any kind of critics. This was basically a state-sponsored hijacking of air piracy. This incident occurred on Ryanair Flight 4978 en route to Vilnius on May 23 when the plane was diverted to Minsk with a fake bomb threat from Belarusian air traffic control. After this violation of international aviation rules, both were arrested on questionable charges of organizing mass unrest.

Belarus has always swayed between Russia and the EU but recently European Union has imposed one of the toughest restrictions against Belarus. EU has blocked the sale or supply of major technology to Belarus, as well as restricted access to capital markets and trade in oil and potash. EU has also imposed airspace restrictions against Belarus. But any sanctions against Belarus must not target ordinary people. Because the land borders are already sealed off with Poland and Lithuania. The only viable option for Belarusian people was air travel. So this restriction will also affect the citizens of the country. To counter the problem of Potash sanctions, Lukashenko has struck a deal with his Russian business friend to create a new Potash mining and processing plant. But this will come at a cost of increased taxes for the individual citizens of Belarus amid the Covid-19 crisis and economic downturn. The United States has also imposed visa bans and other sanctions on 62 individuals who were identified as contributing to the Belarus crackdown.  

The citizens of Belarus deserve free Elections and a leader who can think about the citizens of the country instead of holding onto the power. With a progressive leader, Belarus could have been on par with the Baltic countries. The recent sanction might or might not work but in the end, the common citizens of the country suffer the most.

Studying abroad or in your country.

Earlier people used to study in their own country to get a degree , but now as time has evolved students are getting many new opportunities to study abroad. In my opinion it has both negative and positive impact depending on the situation.

To embark on , people are moving out of their country to study because they find better opportunities there. They feel that the teaching faculty is better there. Sometimes people go to an other country to get other benefits like improved medical facilities and better salary. People sometimes feel that getting a job that pays well is very important and that they would get more options. For an instance my elder brother went to Canada for his higher studies so that he can get a job there and settle there. Therefore many other people also move out to study so that they can settle there. Hence , students have more opportunity to study abroad.

However , there are also some disadvantages of it. People often feel difficult to cope with the changes. They get homesick and it sometimes leads to anxiety and depression. Not everyone can spend a lot of money so they choose to stay in the country only. Language that you speak plays an important role , you may not understand what people are saying. One may feel lost and disgusted.

According to me , this development has some benefits nut surely has some repercussions also. People should take decisions accordingly.

To encapsulate , people should look out for themselves and decide whether they can cope up or not . If they make a wrong decisions they might end up ruining there life.

Music…..

Music is the art of arranging sounds in time to produce a composition through the elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre.

It is one of the universal cultural aspects of all human societies. General definitions of music include common elements such as pitch (whichgoverns melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the “color” of a musical sound). Different styles or types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements. Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping; there are solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces (such as songs without instrumental accompaniment) and pieces that combine singing and instruments. 

In many cultures, music is an important part of people’s way of life, as it plays a key role in religious rituals, rite of passage ceremonies (e.g., graduation and marriage), social activities (e.g., dancing) and cultural activities ranging from amateur karaoke singing to playing in an amateur funk band or singing in a community choir. People may make music as a hobby, like a teen playing cello in a youth orchestra, or work as a professional musician or singer.

Audiences can also become performers by participating in karaoke, an activity of Japanese origin centered on a device that plays voice-eliminated versions of well-known songs. Most karaoke machines also have video screens that show lyrics to songs being performed; performers can follow the lyrics as they sing over the instrumental tracks.

Conclusion

Music has the power to change any person’s mind and heart………and it is the universal language…….🎶🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
