“GOD IS REALLY GREAT BECAUSE HE CREATE HUMAN BEING” because of you all only, when every i am sad god send people to give hope to me.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧𝗦𝗔𝗣𝗣 is a free mobile messaging application, massively used for international messaging and voice calls.

WhatsApp was founded in 2009 by WhatsApp, Inc. The company name puns on the popular colloquial greeting What’s up? and app, short for application.

The app, one of the first of its kind to provide messaging over WiFi, allows people to `communicate´ on their smartphones across the world, making it a popular choice for people who live and travel abroad. It also works across major mobile device platforms, such as Android, iOS, and BlackBerry. As of 2018, notable WhatsApp features include voice calling, group chats, end-to-end encryption, and status updates similar to Snapchat and Instagram Stories. The app functions by using cellular data or WiFi and the user’s existing phone number.

𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧𝗦𝗔𝗣𝗣:

Because it works over WiFi and across different devices, WhatsApp, as an app and term, is popular among immigrants, families with relatives in different countries, travelers, and businesspersons. It is particularly popular in Latin America, India, and Europe, and in many cases is preferred over traditional SMS, or text, messaging. As a testament to its popularity, WhatsApp is the most popular messaging application in over 100 countries.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐏𝐏 is also widely used for its group messaging feature. With groups being able to have up to 256 participants, it has became a versatile feature used to communicate with classmates, relatives, and coworkers. The groups feature is also used for niche groups, including group chats for mothering or conversational groups interested in improving language skills, for example : Many entrepreneurs are increasingly conducting business over “WhatsApp“, advertising products and services on social media and providing their WhatsApp contact number.

WhatsApp uses the internet to send messages, the cost of using WhatsApp is significantly less than texting. You can also use Whatsapp on your desktop, simply go to the Whatsapp website and download it to Mac or Windows. It is popular with teenagers because of features like group chatting, voice messages and location sharing.

𝔽𝔼𝔸𝕋𝕌ℝ𝔼𝕊 𝕆𝔽 𝕎ℍ𝔸𝕋𝕊𝔸ℙℙ:

Users of 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝𝚊𝚙𝚙 can share their location in real time over messages. They can also organise lists of contacts so that they can “quickly send messages” to lots of people in group chats through WhatsApp. Probably the best feature of WhatsApp is that it allows users to keep in touch with people living abroad, without incurring the international charges associated with text messages. Whatsapp now lets its users share their location in real time. This feature allows you to share your exact location with a friend or loved one. This may be useful when you are meeting friends in a crowded area, or you want to let someone know you have arrived at your destination safely.It is important to know that you are allowing your movements to be tracked by another person. Only use this feature with people you know and trust. Parents should talk to their child about location sharing and advise them against it.

𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗦 :

The word status actually means weather you are available or busy or offline.

Since we don’t have green light like Facebook to find weather the user us online or not in whatsapp,whatsapp came with a idea if statuses like if person is online he can update as Available,if he is busy he might update busy or if he changes the number hw might update as ‘call me’
But as days passed people changes the meaning of status entirely like putting some proverbs, attitude quotes,wishing someone for anniversary or birthday and still the list goes on.Status is nothing but it helps you showing others in what situation you are in like online or available or busy or driving etc but these days we see status which is of no use.

Likewise people change their status as “In a meeting””At the gym””Urgent calls only” so on depending on which you could decide to text them or not. Apart from this, people now a days started writing their own feelings as a status letting others know what they feel/think about life/others. So its all depends on what the person needs his whatsapp friends to know/understand. 𝐈 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏 because I can able to see another world in that. Happy to use that … We can easily connected to people in older days without what how they people there i dono but now a days whatsapp is everywhere … We can easily collect any contact in whatsapp .. such a beautiful app for all…

ZNMD or Zindagi na milegi dobara has completed 10years in Indian cinema and according to whole lot of people, ZNMD is best movie seen so far well i also believe this because I love the cast, the storyline, the way its directed and most important sense of humor

ZNMD is one of those film which will surely make you happy when you are having a bad day because the way its directed shows a whole new point of traveling, friendship, lessons, love, marriage and so on its so relatable.

Zindagi Na milegi Dobara , directed by Zoya Akhtar has a very first hand insight to the life of humans . A man who feels money is the most important aspect gets to know that its just a part of it just like a relationship or just like a vacation which is as important as his 9 to 5 job . Another person who is into a commitment against his choice sets himself free after knowing it from his closest friends . And the last one who in search of his true identity not only finds his real father but his true self , friends and the real essence of life .

The movie has so many layers blended into one and add to it the picturesque Spain and all the fun activities be it the tomatina festival or the scuba diving or the bull running sequence in the climax.

The audience in general seeks a happy movie , one with a message , which can make the audience laugh , one which makes the audience think effortlessly ,one with great music, one which has a romantic side as well and one with a great story . ZNMD has all of it .

Star value does add to the higher viewership but even if it had lesser known but able actors it would have developed with the word of mouth.

• ” Dilo mein apni Betabiyan Leke Chal rahe Ho Toh Zinda Ho Tum …… “

When your thoughts and feelings are in harmony with your actions, then stress has no way of walking into your life. We are all living in a universe where everything is connected. We have to realise that whatever transpires in our life constantly gets affected by energy around us. Being aware of this connection is very important.

Self acceptance

Everything going on within us and around us starts with self. Establishing a balance in your thoughts will determine the amount of personal harmony. Equilibrium creating harmony comes from staying centred in two seemingly opposite intentions. You could be dealing with your most inconsequential thoughts or taking your most important decisions, to stay balanced makes huge difference.

Take responsibility

Being 100 per cent responsible for the quality of your life is essential. We ourselves are in charge of our emotions and their results. We are constantly creating scenarios due to our thoughts. Our actions are products of our own creation.

Choose right

We must train our minds to let go of our controlling habit. It is our ego that does not allow it. Honouring your personal thoughts is also very important. As time goes on our frequency rises if we have learnt the lessons of self acceptance and made our choices accordingly. Slowly our higher choices seem to become like an automatic process within. They are spontaneous. This in turn leads to greater peace and harmony.

Anxiety is a normal and often healthy emotion. However, when a person regularly feels disproportionate levels of anxiety, it might become a medical disorder.

When an individual faces potentially harmful or worrying triggers, feelings of anxiety are not only normal but necessary for survival.

Since the earliest days of humanity, the approach of predators and incoming danger sets off alarms in the body and allows evasive action. These alarms become noticeable in the form of a raised heartbeat, sweating, and increased sensitivity to surroundings.

Anxiety disorders

The duration or severity of an anxious feeling can sometimes be out of proportion to the original trigger, or stressor. Physical symptoms, such as increased blood pressure and nausea, may also develop. These responses move beyond anxiety into an anxiety disorder.

The APA describes a person with anxiety disorder as “having recurring intrusive thoughts or concerns.” Once anxiety reaches the stage of a disorder, it can interfere with daily function.

Symptoms

• restlessness, and a feeling of being “on-edge”
• uncontrollable feelings of worry
• increased irritability
• concentration difficulties
• sleep difficulties, such as problems in falling or staying asleep

Prevention

• Taking care of your mental health.
• Talking to people who can calm you.
• Taking counselling from professionals
• Seeking professional help.
• Spending time with family.
• Taking break from routine.
• Do something you love that is therapeutic to you like painting, cooking even binge watching.

 

FASHION TODAY VS 20 YEARS AGO

Fashion has changed a great deal over the past three centuries. As history changes it seems that fashion in some aspect changes with it to adapt to the era. Even today fashion continues to change as the years go on. Looking at fashion even 20 years ago we can see a difference from what we see in our everyday lives.

 

HISTORY OF FASHION

Fashion history is the history of people. People have loved clothing fashion for thousands of years. From the early days of Egypt to the day clothes have become the expression of who we are. Throughout history, drawings, documents and other archaeological finds have also revealed fashion worn by people in various ancient civilizations.

The Greeks were wearing clothes in different styles from their eastern neighbors. Both women and men were usually wearing thick woolen long dresses.

The ancient Egyptians were typically dressed in light cotton clothing; Women were wearing long, ready-made clothes. With the Romans becoming dominant over time, the Romans began to be known as the most important example of style and fashion at the same time.

 The sixties and seventies are great transitional periods in fashion. Women wearing trousers has seen more and more accepted. The clothes became shorter and looser. 80’s brought great fashion trends and different hairstyles for both men and women.

As time went by from the twentieth century to the twenty-first, fashion continued to change every year, and today still changing.

 

FASHION NOW

Fashions come into vogue and then go out because man loves change, variety and novelty. With the change in the mood of man, change in styles, manners, conduct and way of life also come about.Fashions are infectious as well and spread rapidly like wildfire, especially among young men and women in big towns and cities.

Youth is more fashion-conscious because they represent life in terms of energy, courage, expectations, potentialities, power, and vigour. They want to look smart, up- to-date, charming and fresh in their dress, etiquette, styles of shoes, and hair-do, etc. They want to enjoy every moment of life and are full of unlimited zeal and appetite for it.

Fashions can also be abused as well and become harmful when turned into an obsession. Then they mean waste of time, energy, and money. It is better to be a little out of fashion than to be in fashion at the cost of one’s conscience and discretion.

Fashions are also influenced by glossy, colourful and eye-catching textile advertisements, fashion shows, propaganda of fashion and dress designers, articles in the fashion magazines and foreign visitors.

Films and cable T.V. are a great source of fashions and quick changes in trends. Fashions are liquid and changeable like weather. Till recently, bell-bottoms, midis, minis and maxis were quite in fashion and now they are out of fashion. Again tight-bottoms, skirt-tops, salwar-kamiz and saris are in fashion.

Fashion designing and technology is now an established branch of human knowledge, science and practice. It provides employment and business to millions of people throughout the world and there has been a huge investment in the fashion industry. Expert fashion-designers, technologists, tailors and drapers are busy day and night to cater to the needs of the fashion-conscious in society. They not only cater to the tastes of the people but also create taste and fashion and thereby earn huge profits.

 Fashion-consciousness is a healthy sign as it appeals and pleases people, promotes togetherness, social interaction and enlivens the environment. It is misconceived to link fashion with immorality. But it would be certainly foolish to spend extravagantly on the latest fads and to run after them at the expense of valuable time, energy and resources.

Social influences are probably the strongest influences on the Fashion trend. Many music stars strongly influence Fashion choice. For example, wearing hoodies became famous due to rap musicians. Furthermore, movie and television actors create a big impact on Fashion. Many youngsters love to emulate the Fashion sense of their favourite celebrity.

It is good to be fashionable but it is better to be simple and dignified because simplicity with dignity is the best and evergreen fashion.

Introduction

We take interviews to get the story behind a participant’s experiences. Before we decide to take up an interview, we must articulate to ourselves what problems or needs we should be addressing using the information to be gathered by the interviews. The interviewer can pursue in-depth information about a topic. The interview may be beneficial as a follow-up to respondents to questionnaires. e.g., to further investigate their responses. Usually, we ask open-ended questions during interviews which helps us keep a clear focus on the intent of each question.

The Role of the Interviewer

The interviewer is the “jack-of-all-trades” in survey research. The interviewer’s role is complex and multifaceted. It includes the following tasks:

• Locate and enlist the cooperation of respondents – the interviewer has to look for the respondent. There are times when the interviewer has to work at the least desirable time because that is when the respondents are available immediately. 
• Motivate respondents to do a good job – The interviewer should be motivated and transfer the same energy to the respondent. If the interviewer does not take the work seriously, why would the respondent? The interviewer has to convey the importance of the research.
• Clarify any confusion/concerns – The interviewer must be patient with the interviewees when they have to clear a doubt. Interviewers have to be able to think on their feet. The respondents may raise objections or concerns that are not anticipated. The interviewer has to be able to respond candidly and informatively.
• Observe the quality of responses – Only the interviewer can judge the quality of the information whether the interview is personal or over the phone. Even a verbatim transcript will not adequately convey how seriously the respondent took the assigned task, gestures, or other information.
• Conduct a good interview – Last, and certainly not least, the interviewer has to conduct good decorum! Every interview has a life of its own. Some respondents are motivated and attentive whereas others are distracted or disinterested. The interviewer also has good or bad days. Assuring a consistently high-quality interview is a challenge that requires constant effort.

Preparation for Interview

1. Choose a setting with little distraction – The interviewee is an asset for us. We have to make sure that they are comfortable. Avoid loud lights or noises, etc. Often, they may feel more comfortable at their places of work or homes.
2. Explain the purpose of the interview – The interviewee should be familiar with the purpose of the interview.
3. Address terms of confidentiality – Explain the terms of confidentiality to the interviewee beforehand. You have to be careful while doing this. You can rarely promise anything as the information might be accessible by certain officials or higher authorities. Explain who will get access to their answers and how they are analyzed. If you’re using their comments as quotes, get their permission beforehand.
4. Explain the format of the interview – Be clear with the type of interview you will be conducting and explain its nature to the interviewee. If you want them to ask questions, specify if they’re to do so as they have them or wait until the end of the interview.
5. Indicate how long the interview usually takes –  People do not want to waste their time. Give the interviewee an approx time that the interview might take.
6. Ask them if they have any questions – Before you start the interview and after you end the interview, make sure that the interviewee has no questions or confusion.
7. Don’t count on your memory to recall their answers – Ask their permission to record the interview or carry a notepad for pointers.

Types of Interviews

1. Informal, conversational interview – There is no predetermined set of questions. We should remain as open and adaptable as possible to the interviewee’s nature and priorities. The interviewer should go with the flow.
2. General interview guide approach – This approach intends to ensure that the interviewer collects the same information from each interviewee. This approach is more focused than the conversational approach but still allows freedom and adaptability in getting information from the interviewee.
3. Standardized, open-ended interview – In this approach, the interviewee is free to answer the question in whatever way they want. (they don’t have to select yes or no or any numeric rating) This approach facilitates faster interviews that can be more easily analyzed and compared.
4. Closed, fixed-response interview – This approach tends to fix a set of questions that the interviewer asks all the interviewees. They have to choose answers from among the same set of alternatives. 

Types of Topics in Questions

Patton notes six kinds of questions. One can ask questions about:

1. Behaviors – Ask about what they are doing currently or what experience do they have from the past. 
2. Opinions/values – A person’s opinion describes them. Ask what they think about a topic.
3. Feelings – Look for the feelings of the interviewee. Make sure that the interviewee is giving their personal opinion and experience. 
4. Knowledge – Try to get facts about the relevant topic.
5. Sensory – Ask about their sensation towards the topic. About what people have seen, touched, heard, tasted, or smelled.
6. Background/demographics – Ask basic questions to know about the interviewee. (age, height, occupation)

Sequence of Questions

1. Involve the interviewee in the interview as soon as possible – Make the respondent comfortable quickly and cooperate during the interview.
2. Before asking about controversial matters (such as feelings and conclusions), first, ask about some facts – With this approach, respondents can more easily engage in the interview before warming up to more personal matters.
3. Intersperse fact-based questions throughout the interview – To avoid long lists of fact-based questions, which tends to leave respondents disengaged.
4. Ask questions about the present before questions about the past or future – Respondents are comfortable answering about their present than answering about their future. In the beginning, ask about their present and then get into asking about their future.
5. The last questions might allow respondents to provide any other information they prefer to add and their impressions of the interview – Give the respondent the liberty to add any extra information they want to.

Wording of Questions

1. The wording should be open-ended – Respondents should be able to choose their terms when answering questions.
2. Questions should be as neutral as possible – Avoid wording that might influence answers, e.g., evocative, judgmental.
3. One question at a time – The interviewer should not confuse the interviewee by asking too many questions at once.
4. Questions must be transparent – This includes knowing any terms particular to the program or the respondents’ culture. There must not be any two-faced questions in the set.
5. Be careful asking “why” questions – This type of question infers a cause-effect relationship that may not truly exist. These questions may also cause respondents to feel defensive, e.g., that they have to justify their response, which may inhibit their response to this and future question.

Conducting Interview

1. Occasionally verify the tape recorder (if used) is working – If you’re using a recorder make sure you check it beforehand because you can’t afford to lose the interview.
2. Ask one question at a time – when you ask too many questions at once, it will confuse the interviewee that eventually will lead the interview to go wrong.
3. Attempt to remain as neutral as possible – Try not to show emotions to the interviewee’s answers. Pretend that you have heard it all before.
4. Encourage responses – Be attentive and give occasional nods of the head, “uh-huh”s, etc.
5. Be careful about the appearance when note-taking –  That is, if you jump to take a note, it may appear as if you’re surprised or very pleased about an answer, which may influence the answer to the future question.
6. Don’t lose control of the interview – This can occur when respondents stray to another topic, take so long to answer a question that times begin to run out.

Immediately After Interview

1. Verify if the tape recorder, if used, worked throughout the interview.
2. Make any notes on your written notes – Clarify any scratchings, ensure to number the pages, fill out any pointers that don’t make sense, etc.
3. Write down any observations made during the interview – For example, where did the interview occur and when, was the respondent particularly nervous at any time? Were there any surprises during the interview? Did the tape recorder break?

According to UP’s proposed policy, those who do not adhere to the two-child norm will be left out of government welfare schemes (Reuters Photo)

NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state in the country, has announced that it wants to control population to promote sustainable development with more equitable distribution. The BJP government in the state has floated a proposal that focuses on disincentivising couples from having more than two children and rewards those who have only one child.READ ALSO

• Why UP is talking population control

Chief minister Yogi Adityanath unveiled the draft Bill of the UP Population Policy

 2021-2030 on the World Population Day. The proposed legislation for population control has become a major political flashpoint in the state which is all set to go to polls next year.

Not just UP, several other states are also working to implement population control measures. However, some experts cite the decreasing total fertility rate to argue that India may not need such drastic measures to control population.

What are the main provisions of the UP population control policy?

The UP CM has said the sole aim of the draft policy is to align the state’s reproductive rate to its development goals.

It also aims at bringing down the gross fertility rate among women to 2.1 by 2026 and to 1.9 by 2030.

In the draft of the Uttar Pradesh Population (Control, Stabilization, and Welfare

) Bill-2021 issued by the State Law Commission, ‘Bacche Do He Acche’ has been highlighted.

The proposed policy announces several incentives for parents who follow the two-child policy or have only one child.
Here’s a look at some of them:

Similarly, for those who do not adhere to this norm, there will be several disincentives according to the proposed draft bill.

Which other states have a two-child policy?

Two BJP-ruled states, Assam and Karnataka are moving towards implementing a two-child policy.

At least 12 states had at some point in time implemented the two-child policy for government employees. The states included Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Uttarakhand.

However, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh later revoked the policy.

The opposition in Uttar Pradesh has hit out at the Yogi government over the proposed population policy, terming it as “election propaganda” to divert people’s attention from failures on various fronts ahead of assembly elections next year.

Samajwadi Party (SP) MP from Sambhal, Shaqfiqur Rahman Barq said the state government should ban marriages if it wants to stabilise the rising population.

“A lot of births are taking place in China and you (India) are stopping people from having children. A time will come when we will be very few. If there is a war, then from where will you bring people to fight,” Barq said.

VHP

 working president Alok Kumar sent a missive to the state law commission saying UP should avoid giving incentives to parents with a single child as this can affect the state’s demography. He cited the cases of Assam and Kerala, where Muslim population growth has surpassed that of Hindus.

Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, whose JD(U) is an ally of the BJP, opposed population control policy and said that merely framing a law would not serve any purpose as far as the issue of population control is concerned. He stressed the need for proper education and awareness among women to achieve the objective.

Why we may not need a population control law

Is there a merit in opposition claims against population control laws? While increasing population has been a bane for the country, data shows that the trend of population rise is reversing in many states including Uttar Pradesh. Two indicators, TFR, replacement TFR

 show that population in several states is already on the decline. At least 18 states have already attained below replacement total fertility rate (TFR).

While the fertility rate indicates the average number of children that each woman will give birth to during her reproductive years, replacement level fertility is the level of fertility at which a population exactly replaces itself from one generation to the next.

It is assumed that for a country’s population to remain stable, the total fertility rate should be 2.1.

In 1950-55, India’s total fertility rate was 5.9. The rate has declined steadily since 1975 to touch 2.2. Experts believe that the fertility rate in India is projected to fall to 1.93 by 2025.
https://toi-infographics.indiatimes.com/graphs/zn1Sc/3/#amp=1

As per the Fifth National Family Health Survey (NFHS) the total fertility rate has decreased across the majority of the states.

According to the data, only three states — Manipur (2.2), Meghalaya (2.9) and Bihar (3.0) — have TFR above replacement levels.
Uttar Pradesh fertility rate

Data from the National Family Healthy Survey done in 2019-20 (NFHS-5) has not yet been released for Uttar Pradesh. But going by National Family Health Survey-4 (NFHS-4) (2015-16), the fertility rate in Uttar Pradesh has declined from 4.1 to 2.7 during 1998 to 2016.
https://toi-infographics.indiatimes.com/graphs/V2DXJ/1/#amp=1
https://30f30eab428774dd4544c522e4c5bca3.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html?n=0

However, this decrease is not uniformly spread, the rural areas have marginally high TFR.

As per NFHS-4 data of 2015-16, the total fertility rate for urban areas in Uttar Pradesh was 2.1 while for rural areas it was 3.0. UP’s TFR was 3.8 in 2005-06 (NFHS-3). In 1998-99, UP’s total fertility rate was 4.01.

Religion-wise, the fertility of Hindus was 2.7 in 2015-16 and that of Muslims was 3.1.
Why the two-child policy law might be a problem

Given these statistics, some experts feel population control laws could lead to problems of imbalance in the future.

China had enforced a one-child norm in the 1980s. However, it was forced to abandon the policy because of the skyrocketing aged dependents, insufficient people of working age, and a huge excess of aged people needing costly medical care. China now urges couples to have more children.

The NFHS-4 data on birth order showed that the highest proportion of births was among women with no schooling.
https://toi-infographics.indiatimes.com/graphs/rvsZd/1/#amp=1

The lowest proportion of births of the third or fourth child or beyond was among women who had completed 12 years of schooling. According to the census, Muslims have the lowest literacy level (37%).

Experts have said the two-child policy could have worrying impacts including sex-selective and unsafe abortions, worsening sex ratio and will fuel economic disparity.

In December last year, in response to a PIL seeking a population control law based on the China model, the government told the Supreme Court that India was on the verge of achieving a replacement level of fertility rate of 2.1 through various voluntary birth control measures.

It further said that international experience like the China model showed that any coercion to have a certain number of children was counterproductive and would lead to demographic distortion.

The Centre had listed a dozen schemes being implemented to achieve a replacement fertility rate of 2.1 by 2025.

Either way, UP’s draft policy on population control has opened up the debate on the two-child policy once again. If enacted, the provisions of the proposed legislation titled ‘The Uttar Pradesh Population (Control, Stabilization and Welfare) Bill, 2021’ will come into force after one year from the date of publication in the Gazette.

The draft bill is open for public suggestions till July 19.
