Android mobile technology

Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open source software,designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.android is developed by a cosortium of developers known as the open handset alliance and comerically sponsored by Google.It was unvelied in November 2007,with first comerical Android device,the HTC dream, being launched in September 2008

History Android inc.was founded in Palo Alto,in California,in October 2003 by Andy Rubin , rich Miner,Nick Sears,and chirs white. Rubin discribed the Android project as having “tramandous potential in developing smarter mobile devices that are more aware of it’s owners location and preferences “. The early intentions of the company were to develop an advanced operating system for digital cameras ,and this was the basis of it’s pitch to investors in april2004. Then the company decided that the market for the cameras was not large enough for it’s goals , and five months later it had diverted its efforts and was pitching Android as a handset operating system that would rival sumbian and Microsoft Windows mobile…..

Android mobile development.. Android is developed by the Google untill the latest changes and updates are ready to be released ,at which point the source code is made avalible to the Android open source project (aosp) an open source initiative led by Google . TheAOSP code can be found without modification on select devices ,mainly the former Nexus and current Android one series of devices.

Hardware of a Android mobile the main hardware development for the Android is ARM (the ARMv7 and ARMv8_A artitectures) ,with x86_64 artitectures are also supported In later versions of Android .the unofficial android_x86 project provided support for x86 artechitecture ahead of the official support.since 2012 , Android devices with Intel proceresss began to appear ,including phones and tablets .while gaining support for 64 bit platform ,Android was the first made to run on 64_bit x86 and then on ARM64 since Android 5.0 “lollipop”,64_bit variates of all platforms are supported in addition to the 32_bit variants . An unofficial experimental port of the operating system to the RISC_V artechitecture was released in2021.

From the above matter we concluded that there are different types of generation have in our Android mobile system

Let’s Review…

The story ‘On The Face Of It‘ by Susan Hill, reflects the ideology of the society towards deformed or disabled people by the characters Derek and Mr. Lamb.

Susan Hill: 'When you read a lot, you start writing your own stories' | |  The Guardian

Derek, a lad of fourteen, was a victim of inferiority complex, for he was having half face burnt with acid and was criticized by the society about his future. His mother kissed him on the good side of the face only which made Derek furious and agitated about his appearance. Mr. Lamb tries to understand his grievances and brings him out of his ideologies and isolation by quoting the example of Beauty and Beast, weeds, singing of bees. He says that, appearances are acceptive, at least Derry has two eyes, ears, hands, legs through which he can change his life. The bond of affection, amicability, binds the two despite of their deformity.

Derek already knew that handsome is as handsome does, but his mind and thoughts were overpowered, by the norms of the society, hence at least, wanted to play in Mr. Lamb’s garden, hear song of bees, make jelly, spend time with Mr. Lamb due to which he revisits him despite of his mother’s annoyance.

Mr. Lamb made Derry’s eye watch, which he earlier see only, he made him realize the difference between alive and living.

Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana

The Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana was launched on 17th September 2015 for the welfare of the people and areas affected by mining operations. Funds for this scheme are generated by District Mineral Foundations (DMFs). And most of these areas are occupied and inhabited by the scheduled tribes. In all the districts that are affected by the mining, District Mineral Foundations (DMFs) under the Mines and Minerals (Development & Regulation) Amendment Act, 2015, the Central Government has fixed rates payable by miners to the District Mineral Foundations. An amount of 30% of royalty has to be paid by the miner if the lease executed dates before 12th January 2015 and for the mining leases after 12th January 2015, it is 10% of the royalty payable. These Mines and Minerals (Development & Regulation) (MMDR) funds are then used for the implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana. The directly and indirectly affected people (as specified by the government) by such mining or excavation activities should be covered under this scheme. The list of such directly and indirectly affected people and local communities should be maintained and updated by the District Mineral Foundations (DMFs). People having legal or traditional rights over the land on which mining, excavation, or any such activity is performed come under the list of affected people or traditional communities. The families which get displaced because of these mining activities need to be rehabilitated by the authorities. At least 60% of MMDR funds are required to be utilized in the following ‘High Priority Areas’:

• Health Care – Implementation of Group Insurance Scheme for the mining-affected people should be taken care of. Primary or secondary health facilities should be provided in consideration to the existing available health facilities of the central government, state, or any local bodies to the people of the mining-affected areas. While preparing for such infrastructure the knowledge available with the ‘National Institute of Miner’s Health’ should be included for taking care of diseases and illnesses related to mining.
• Drinking Water – Water purification facilities, drinking water facilities, and water connection pipes should be taken care of.
• Education – Construction of school buildings, hostels for students as well as teachers in remote areas, classrooms, labs, toilets, transportation facilities, and such more education-related resources should be considered.
• Sanitation – Proper collection and disposal of mining waste and fecal sludge, cleaning of public places, and construction of toilets.
• Development of Women and Children – Special programs can be carried out for spreading awareness for maternity-related issues, infections, malnutrition, and child health issues.
• Skill Development – Developing skills of the willing and deserving local people by setting up centers, providing training, and to the Self-Help Groups (SHGs) for generation of economic activities among the backward.
• Safeguard of Old and Disabled – Organizing programs for the welfare of the old and people with disabilities.
• Pollution Control and Environment Preservation – Opting for environment-friendly and sustainable mining techniques, prevention of lakes, ponds, groundwater, and other water resources, prevention of air pollution due to mining, and proper drainage system for mining dump.
Utilization of up to 40% MMDR funds in the following ‘Other Priority Areas’:
• Irrigation – Opting for sustainable and advanced irrigation techniques.
• Watershed and Energy – Establishing rainwater harvesting systems and alternative sources of energy.
• Infrastructure – Developing required infrastructure such as – roads, railways, and water projects.
• And more such measures for sustainable resources and improved environmental conditions in mining districts.

The vulnerable and marginalized communities such as the tribal are empowered through this scheme. It is said, annually Rs 6000 crore is utilized for the development of people and areas affected by mining activities. According to the reports of the ministry, till now an amount of Rs 22,999 crore has been approved out of which an amount of Rs 6,944 has been utilized.

Reviewing The Summary Of…

‘ Should Wizard Hit Mommy‘, is a story within story by John Updike, reflects evils of society. Society is a mental concept in which individuals reside and support each other, but neglect the have-nots or unprivileged like Roger Skunk, who was neglected and unaccepted due to his obnoxious smell.

John Updike (Author of Rabbit, Run)

Jack, narrates the story of Roger Skunk, to his daughter, Jo. Skunk was always left alienated by all the Woodland creatures due to his foul smell. He decided to change his identity by accepting the smell of roses and thereafter he was accepted by society. Roger Skunk’s mother didn’t like the smell of roses and hit the wizard. Jo, as a child, was unable to accept the ending of the story of wizard being hit by mommy and rebelled against his father.

Jack, through the story of Roger Skunk, wanted to make Jo understand the trivialities of the society and one’s identity is pertinent for him. One should accept what nature has bestowed us with and elders are always right in their perspectives, for they are experienced.

Jack was not completely a good story teller, for, he always had the same creatures with a slight variation in the plot, but tried his best by putting expressions, sounds and gestures to make his story realistic.

PLASTIC.

The term plastic is used to classify a wide variety of synthetic or semi-synthetic material. Plastic are organic material just like wood, paper or woll. We use plastic products in clothes we wear, house we dwell, mode if transportation we travel in, toys were kids play, the screen we watch. The raw material used to produce plastic are cellulose, coal, natural gas, salt, and crude oil they are corrosion resistant to many substances which attack other materials. The relatively low density and advantages is light weight, have excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties . They can easily be moulded into complex shapes, allowing other materials into it ,it balances the properties that can be modified with the addition of reinforcing fillers, colours foaming agents, plasticisers etc. As a result of these attractive properties plastics are being used in many of the places such as packing building and construction healthcare agriculture sports mobility and transportation. Plastic polymeric material that as the capacity of being molded and shaped. Many chemicals namely better known as PET, PVC polyethyleneterephthalate and polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene and, poly methyl methacrylate are known by their trademark name. Commodities resins are plastics that are produced at my volume and low cost that is disposable and durable. Member of the plastic speciality resins is the thermoplastic elastomers, polymers that I have the elastic property known for rubber. The plastic can be categorised based on chemical composition one is polymer having only aliphatic carbon atoms in their backbone chain and other is heterochain polymers which contains atom such as oxygen nitrogen or sulfur backbone chain. It is important to that for each polymer there are many subtypes about 20 to 30 variation

How plastic effects environment? They are threatens food safety and quality human health coastal tourism and most importantly contribution to climate change. The plastic pollution is concerned with plastic objects particles in earth environment or earth surface that affects wildlife wildlife habitat or humans. Plastic are inexpensive and durable in making them very adaptable for different users. The chemical structure of most plastics render them resistance to many natural process of degradation and result in slow degrade. It is Estimated that 1.1 to 8.8 million of plastic waste enters the ocean some researchers suggest that there could be more plastic than fish in oceans by weight. In some areas there have been in significant efforts to reduce the the prominence free range plastic pollution through reducing plastic consumption.

countries importing the plastic waste often lack the capacity to process all the material. There are three forms of plastic microplastic which have highest density is concentrated around urban centres and water fronts. Plastic can be found of the coast of some islands because of current earning the debris mega macro plastic are found in packing footwear and other domestic items. Primary plastic are in original form when collected but secondary plastic account for smaller plastic that have resulted from degradation of primary plastic.microdebris are plastic pieces between two to 5 mm in size commonly called nurdles which are recycle to make new plastic items and end up breaking into the environment during production smaller causes.

AS a result plastic is affecting the earth and all creators so say No to plastic

SC/ST Hub

About SC/ST Hub

As per the Public Procurement Policy for Micro and Small Enterprises, it is mandatory to procure a minimum of 25% of the total annual value of goods and services from the Micro and Small Enterprises, in which 4% of goods and services should be procured from SC / ST owned Micro and Small Enterprises and 3% of goods and services should be procured from Micro and Small Enterprises owned by women, for the Central Government Ministries, Departments, and Public – Sector Undertakings. Tenders are published by Central Public Service Enterprises (CPSEs), Public Sector Units (PSUs), and Government Organizations. These tenders are then bid upon and after the order is won, a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) is mandatorily required to be submitted for the CPSEs or large firm tenders, against the total value of the tender. This PBG agreement acts as a guarantee that the bank would pay the specified amount in case the Micro & Small Enterprises which is the applicant, fails to meet the ‘financial’ and ‘performance’ obligations. The bank charges an annual fee against its guarantee which generally ranges from 0.5 – 3% per annum. This application fee is paid one time, at the time of issue of the PBG. However, this charge varies based on the ‘risk profile’ of the applicant and various other aspects. Although, these charges are of small amount but somehow add a little burden on the part of entrepreneurs. To lower this burden on the Scheduled Cast / Scheduled Tribes Micro & Small Enterprises (SC / ST MSEs) the government has set the National SC-ST Hub (NSSH). This committee is chaired by Shri Milind Kamble the chairman of the Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DICCI). It provides financial assistance to the SC / T MSEs by reimbursing the bank charges that any SC / ST MSE has paid for issuing PBG for government tenders. For the SC-ST Hub the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, from 2016 to 2020, made an initial fund allocation of Rs 490 crore.

The objective for providing financial assistance to the ST / ST MSEs under this scheme are as follows:
• For achieving the target of 4% procurement of goods and services under the Public Procurement Policy, by the SC / ST MSEs.
• To provide exposure to the SC / ST MSEs to the global market.
• To provide a competitive platform to the MSEs and help them with their marketing skills.
• To provide exposure to large industries and buyers.
The nodal agency to look after the implementation of this scheme is the National Small Industries Corporation Ltd. (NSIC).
The financial assistance under this scheme is provided from the National SC-ST Hub (NSSH) fund and has a limit of 50% or Rs 1,00,000 whichever among the two is less. This amount is exclusive of GST and other taxes applicable. Although, in a financial year the scheme can be availed multiple times by the SC / ST MSEs the amount remains limited as mentioned above. The reimbursement s done based on valid documents or receipts showing payment details, bank statements showing debit of BG charges, GST invoice generated through the system, and a copy of PBG issued (which should be certified).
For availing the benefit under this scheme, the following criteria need to be fulfilled:
• If a proprietorship firm wants to be recognized as SC / ST MSE the proprietor should belong to SC / ST category.
• If a partnership wants to be recognized as SC / ST MSE then at least 51% of shares should be held by the SC / ST partners.
• If a private limited company wants to be recognized as SC / ST MSE then the company should have at least 51% shares held by SC / ST promoters.
• The SC / ST MSEs must have their Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM) number, PAN number and must be registered under the Goods and Service Tax (GST) to avail of the scheme benefit.

After the evaluation and approval of the reimbursement by the NSSHO and NSIC, the reimbursement amount is transferred to the bank account of the applicant from where the PBG charges are debited and this is directly transferred through the Public Financial Management System (PFMS). The claims by the applicant are required to be submitted within 45 days from the time PBG is issued.
This scheme can be availed by the PBG issued on or after 14th November 2018 till the NSSH scheme exists or there are any revisions or amendments made to this scheme.

Impact

The SC / ST Hub also provides professional support to the SC / ST MSEs and provides training and skill development programs. In 2016 – 17 it has provided for 3 capacity building training programs (skill entrepreneurship development) to 83 candidates, in 2017 – 18 64 programs with 1,311 candidates, in 2018 – 19 288 programs to 6,514 candidates and for the year 2019 – 20 provided with 513 programs to 13,362 candidates which come to a total of 868 programs to a total of 21,270 candidates. 823 crore procurements have been made from SC / ST owned MSEs by 162 CPEs and a total of 17,537 SC / ST candidates have been assisted as per the reports of the SC-ST Hub under the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises. This scheme is helping nurture the Micro and Small Enterprises through the involvement of the marginalized, that is the Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes, giving them equal opportunities to grow and develop financially as well as socially.

Underrated Regional Movies – Part 1

Sarvam Thaala Mayam (2018) by Rajiv Menon – Tamil

Despite having a basic premise and a simple narrative with a predictable climax, the film doesn’t fail to bring you that smile you wish for, after having watched a feel-good inspirational film. It’s also a bonus if you’re interested in Indian classical music.

Our protagonist is Peter Johnson, a young man who is introduced to us as a diehard fan of Tamil superstar Vijay, so much so that he skips exams to watch his films first-day first-show. The transition that Peter’s character undergoes from a carefree lad crazy about a film star to someone well-disciplined and obsessed with music is the highlight of the film. What connects these two Peters is the love for beats, whether he played them on drums to celebrate Vijay’s success, or to become an ace Mridangam player. That’s what the title of the film suggests – beats are omnipresent, and there’s no particular way to follow them.

Sarvam Thaala Mayam

Interpretation

At its core, it’s essentially a Dronacharya-Ekalavya story, but has much more to offer. Although Peter surrenders himself to renowned mridangam player Vembu Iyer, he soon realizes that the path is going to be difficult. Society is cruel, and talent is not all that it takes to succeed. The commentary on caste/class distinction raises the obvious question: Isn’t art supposed to be for everyone who wants to pursue it? Peter’s father is a Mridangam manufacturer, who is in love with the instrument in his own way, not as a musician but as a builder. The father-son conflict regarding how to view the same object, one as a means of livelihood and the other as a subject of passion, is especially interesting.

I guess the film reinstated my belief about art being subjective, and the fact that rigidity in art is never a good idea. I would say I loved the film because it gave me what I wanted to see, which may not work for everyone. However, it is still a lovely watch, and I would ask you to go for it if you want something sweet and lighthearted. My only issue was that the female lead didn’t have much to do except playing a love interest.

Picasso (2019) by Abhijeet Warang – Marathi


In around 70 minutes, Picasso is a breezy watch. The story is simple, straightforward and heartwarming, and apart from the main takeaway that is the beautiful father-son relationship, you also get immersed in the world of Marathi Sangeet Natak, specifically the art of Dashavatar folk theatre as described before the end credits. Majority of the film is a detailed enactment of one such play, which keeps you yearning for a big screen experience of the same, if not the experience of watching such performances live.

Picasso 2019

Interpretation

But the father-son relationship is not the sole thing to explore here. It more of an artist-artist relationship, one extending a supporting hand to another, although it may not be mutual at the moment. Pandurang is a sculptor, and also an actor on stage. He provides for his family with whatever he earns, which is never enough. He has inspired his son Gandharva to paint, who has made him proud by winning a prestigious competition that can eventually give him a chance to learn art in Spain. But Pandurang cannot afford even the 1500 bucks needed to compete for the next round. Gandharva is heartbroken, but decides to spend the whole night watching his father perform on stage – one artist accepting his defeat, and eager to see the other flourish.

The scene in the frames above touched the right chords of my heart. We see a frustrated Pandurang trying to apply makeup on his face, while the cigarette dangling from his fingers makes it difficult for him. He knows he isn’t going to make much money tonight, and he is equally heartbroken as his son for having refused him. But then Gandharva helps out his father, painting his face as he would paint a canvas. Pandurang looks lovingly at his son and flashes a teary smile. Gandharva appears to be a true artist at this moment, whether he makes it to Spain or not.

How to read someone’s body language?

What Is Body Language?
Put simply, visual communication is that the unspoken element of communication that we use to reveal our true feelings and emotions.

It’s the relaxed countenance that breaks out into a real smile – with mouth upturned and eyes wrinkled. It are often a tilt of the top that shows you’re listening, sitting or standing upright to convey interest, or directing attention with hand gestures. It also can be taking care to avoid a defensive, arms-crossed posture, or restlessly tapping your feet.

Being conscious of visual communication in others means you’ll devour on unspoken issues or negative emotions. Here are some nonverbal signs to seem out for.


Body Language Examples From Difficult Conversations
Difficult conversations are an uncomfortable fact of life. Perhaps you’re handling a rude customer , giving an employee feedback , or negotiating a contract.

Situations like these are often complicated by feelings of nervousness, stress, or maybe anger.
-Arms folded ahead of the body.
-Minimal or tense countenance .
-Body turned faraway from you.
-Eyes downcast, maintaining little contact.

Visual communication of a Bored Audience
-Sitting slumped, with heads downcast.
-Gazing at something else, or into space.
-Fidgeting, picking at clothes, or twiddling with pens and phones.

Body Language for an honest First Impression
-Use a firm handshake. But aren’t getting carried away! you do not want it to become awkward, aggressive, or painful for the opposite person.


-Maintain good eye contact. attempt to hold the opposite person’s gaze for a couple of seconds at a time. this may show them that you’re sincere and engaged.


-Have an open posture. Be relaxed, but don’t slouch! Sit or stand upright and place your hands by your sides.


Body Language for Interviews and Negotiations
.

-Use mirroring. If you’ll , subtly mirror the visual communication of the person you’re lecture . this may make them feel more comfortable , and may build rapport . But don’t copy their every gesture or you’ll make them uncomfortable


-Relax your body. Maintain the looks of calm by keeping your hands still and breathing slowly.
Look interested. If you’re asked a posh question, it’s okay to briefly touch your cheek or stroke your chin.

How does one Use Your Body Language?
Eflect on how you employ your visual communication – and avoid making assumptions! If you’re getting mixed signs from someone, ask them what they’re thinking. After all, interpreting visual communication should be a complement to talking and listening attentively, not a replacement for it.

Is work from home good for you?

More than a year have passed since the pandemic arrived. After lockdown announced, many of us started working from our homes. After sometime it become stressful. We don’t know when our lives becomes normal again. Will we go to the office again – and, if so, how often? We all know that work will never be the same, even after corona. What would it be like to have “work clothes” again?

According to research, those who work from home tend to report high levels of stress. When working from home, many people may experience distractions and interruptions throughout the day. People find themselves getting less exercise than they would do in an office setting. When we’re not active throughout the day, we didn’t feel tired at night which affect sleep quality. During your work hours, you may receive many non-work-related calls, just try to avoid them.

Job satisfaction were also negatively affected. Working from home doesn’t suit everyone. Switching to work from home may have a negative impact on many people’s mental health if they are unable to find a routine that suites them. Work from home is not for all job types such as manufacturing, hospitality, heavy Industry work. Work life balance affected very badly, people work more hours, less in person interaction. Some people stared at their screen for hours, sitting in awkward positions with no breaks. Easy access to junk food which means more weight gain. Working from home requires time management.

Benefits of WFH. You are safe from getting infected, comfortable while working, healthy eating habits, can save money easily. Confidant home office, increased performance. Many have enjoyed the benefits of telecommuting

  • Create routine and stick to schedule.
  • Try to make your workspace comfortable.
  • Keep your work and home lives separate.
  • Do not stick to text based communication only.
  • Maintain regular hours.
  • Take small breaks.
  • Be positive.
  • Don’t take too much stress.

Working from home is not always better or worse for people’s health.

Animated Movies of 2021 – Honest Reviews

Luca – Pixar Animated Studios

Sheltered from world beyond the ocean surface, a young sea monster ventures to a small coastal town disguised as a human boy. This movie unfortunately falls to an unreasonably high standard having been produced by Pixar Animation Studios. Sparing a few exceptions, there is an expectation that any given Pixar film will be in discussion for best movie of the year. While Luca certainly will not be talked about in any such manner & pales in comparison to Pixar’s other creations, it is far from a bad movie. This movie offers enough charm & heart to be generally enjoyable to almost any viewer. The environment is established well & the characters are all relatively likable. The animation, while not superb, is competently crafted.

The humor is mostly effective, with the physical comedy rendering the best laughs for me personally. The only aspect that didn’t work for me was that of the emotional investment. While there is some tension to be felt throughout the conflicts, the motives are never relayed strong enough for me to feel the weight behind some of the decision making. The climax went for deep emotion that just never struck. I don’t mean to sound redundant, but this just failed to capture that special Pixar spark. Outside of that, there is nothing necessarily wrong with this movie. It’s a harmless, entertaining watch for a young family movie night.

Raya And The Last Dragon – Walt Disney Pictures

Worlds divided amidst war, a driven young warrior sets off to find a legendary dragon in hopes to reunite the community as one. While Disney Princesses are a trademark in the studio’s animated productions, I can’t say modern original creations like Elsa or Moana have really captured that magical spark for me. Raya, on the other hand, turned my head. The characters in written & showcased in a way that demonstrates deep understandable complexities while also crafting her into not only a likable protagonist, but a badass heroine as well. Per usual with Disney & their related properties, the quality of the animation cannot go unrecognized either. The script itself has its fair share of issues, including gaping plot holes & dialogue that is clearly pandering towards younger audiences, but nothing ever really compromised the enjoyment of the experience in a distracting way.

No movie is ever perfect, but it’s a huge compliment when it’s flaws can feel insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The one part that I had a harder time looking past was the execution of Awkwafina’s character. While she is undoubtedly a talented actress & comedian, I feel like she was given too much improvisational freedom for comedic relief that it made her character feel somewhat shallow. The writing was there for the character but I still had a difficult time building an emotional connection. My last minor complaint is that the music choices occasionally did not suit the tone of a given scene. As I said before though, this movie left me feeling positive about it once the credits rolled. It’s an engaging story & I would easily recommend giving it a chance if you haven’t already.

Elements of Yoga

Patanjali described eight element of Yoga in Yogasutras. The eight elements of yoga are Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Dharna, Dhyan and Samadhi.

1. Yama

The stock market bubble

A real concern or confused market parameters?

Introduction

An assertion like ‘Had you invested in the stock markets in 2011, your investments would have doubled by now’ triggers an urgent rush to invest in the market, bringing in the feel good hormones in most people. But often times, it is extremely misleading and the results could be catastrophic.

A stock market bubble is when the prices of assets rise exponentially, often not justifying their actual value.

Investors in 2020 faced a similar conundrum. With the pandemic induced lock-downs causing normal life and businesses to go haywire, the general investor felt it was better if they pulled their money out of the market. This led to the leading market index NIFTY50 dropping to 7,500 levels,a 40% decline from its value in January 2020(NSE india). As a result, the market became almost risk free and the only way ahead was up.

Investments started pouring in as the Covid-19 cases eased by August and significant institutional and foreign investors started pouring in money into the Indian stock markets because of their abnormally low levels. The domestic average investor soon followed suit and the markets saw a revival. In fact they rose to record highs( From record lows just a few months ago!) and the expectation of ‘winning’ a trade led to impulsive buys.

Perception versus Reality

Investors are not always sensible or rationale in their investing decisions and can be prone to various types of ‘bias’. These phenomena can explain the prevailing overtly optimistic market sentiments even when the macro-economic indicators are lacking behind.

Even with parameters like the G.D.P and inflation on the wrong side of desirable, and unemployment rate sky rocketing in 2021, the profits that the top 50 companies made in India in the last fiscal year has increased. This resulted in a lot of investors ignoring those macro-economic trends and could be the reason as to why the stock market segment is rising irrespective of it.

Hence the ever increasing corporate profits and the ‘feel good’ hormones can attribute to the ascend of the stock market levels from the previous years ruins but the question remains, ‘How long can this last’? Established wisdom suggests that corporates cannot sustain a contacting economy for long and that it is bound to catch up with it sooner rather than later. Caution is advised to investors with a majority of their money in these instruments. A bubble burst is in the realm of recurrent reality and cannot be ignored as a figment of the imagination.
