Education in post-covid era

  The subject of online education is contentious in the present scenario when the world is fighting with a disastrous pandemic. Education is always seen as a necessity for everyone as it forms the basis for human capital formation which aids in development process of the nations. India being a country of 1.35 million people with more than 50 percent of population below 25 years of age represents a huge potential for education sector. The disastrous situation currently being faced by the world has made everyone to rethink the modes in which education can be imparted to the students. In the long run the practice of online learning will increase.  

 
 
From a long time, online learning platforms were always seen with a sense of castigation. Transition from traditional Gurukul system to university education took almost several thousand years. Now the new way of learning through online platforms is on surge due to the present pandemic. Schools and universities are continuously making efforts to mitigate the loss caused to students due to closing of schools during this pandemic. Investment in education market is increasing day by day with online platforms leading this surge.   


This new way of learning things virtually has made students techsavy and dynamic. Students can access the videos anywhere anytime as per their preference.  At the same time it reduces your travel time and efforts. We can devote our time to something different maybe some skill development course or enhancing our hobbies which seem difficult in times of classroom learning. Experts from different fields can teach students more effectively as they can get connected virtually. It is an economical option as it reduces travelling expenditure and universities can spend that amount somewhere else  


Experts have argued on this new method of learning as it is not that effective. Students may not able to get conceptual clarity and it would be difficult for them to clear their doubts. Struggling on the particular subject by themselves would lead to fall in their interest in it. This method would require sheer commitment and dedication from students and their willingness to watch the videos and get in touch with their teachers. This might be beneficial only for those who truly want to learn and enhance their knowledge base. Learning without taking any efforts will make the learners lazy and Indisciplined. Apart from its demerits if we look at this approach it is far more beneficial than it seems. Hence in the ever-changing world where nothing is stable online learning can be the substitute.

 

The Press—its uses and abuses in Democracy

No civilised society can live without the press. Taking into account its utility in modern life one can understand very well why it has become so important. Let us consider its influence on masses. A good press educates and helps in forming sound and healthy public opinion. It has direct communication with masses and so can influence them both for destructive and constructive work. Through newspaper, the press gives us information about our day to day political, social and commercial activities.

The press serves the great task of bringing about social reforms. Many social evils like untouchability, dowry system, smuggling activities, etc. are ruthlessly attacked and criticised by the press. Government servants as well as public high-speed are now more careful because of the fear of being exposed by the press.

In democratic system the press has many important roles to play. It can harass any stable government by poisoning public opinion. It can also bring them a big success favouring government action and taking public opinion with them The press gives information about the proceedings of the parliament and Assemblies and all the important political events in the country.

But because its potential power is in the hands of vested interest, the press is sometimes employed for harmful propaganda. In a democratic country, where the press is mostly run by private agencies and big industrial houses, the press safeguards their own interest first.

In fact, the press is a two way weapon. If used carefully, it can help in building up the nation forming the right public opinion. If misused, it can erode the very foundation of democracy.

The press should, therefore, abide by the principal of truthfulness. The primary duty of the press is to establish the truth and work in the interest of the public.

Benefits of internship

Having fair a great degree is not sufficient to guarantee one to have a great work as well in today’s world. Extra capabilities and work experience have presently become a fundamental for a successful career. These are considered as essential as qualifications and degrees. Here comes the need of an internship. Internship is a short-term work experience offered by a company, association or organisation to students or recent graduates for a limited period of time, either paid or unpaid. These are in the form of work experience cum training, volunteership or interning at any company etc. It is more of a learning experience than work which benefits interns by providing entry level exposure to particular fields of industry. Interns spend time working on projects, learning field work, developing soft and hard skills and making industry related connections. Moreover, certain internships do tend to full time job opportunities.

Benefits of internship

>Work experience

The very benefit of any internship is the work experience the interns gain out of it. The sort of experience one gains from internship is something that cannot be obtained through classroom instruction. Interns have the opportunity to make practical use of the skills they acquire and deal with real world challenges.

>Character enhancement and development of skills

While working for an organisation, one learns not only technical skills but also develops soft skills and work ethics. One gets to know about strengths and weaknesses. Internships also provide exposure to real life challenges in work which prove beneficial in future while in full time jobs.

>Gaining confidence

Internships allow interns to put to test the skills and knowledge they acquire in a safe environment that help gain confidence.

> Monetary benefit

Many internships are paid in case of which interns get a chance to earn while learning at the same time.

>Full-time job

Many companies use internships as path of recruitment of skilled freshers. It is more of an easy method wherein the recruiters can train, test and analyse the skills of the interns and later hire them on permanent basis if favourable for the company.

Covid-19: We shall overcome.

A call for unity, action: COVID-19 and principles of responsibility, hope - Opinion - Chinadaily.com.cn

“You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world’s problems at once but don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.”

– Michelle Obama

It’s been almost two years since this  pandemic started. In all these months there have been so many changes in around us and worldwide that we’d never imagine. All that we could find was terrifying news and negativity all over. It’s easy to run over and over the topics that are stressing us out- be that the corona virus pandemic, climate change or something else. People have lost their loved ones, people are facing mental health issue due to this and the economic condition of the country is going for a toss. Essential and health service workers are over burdened with duties yet they aren’t stopping. We need to support them, we need to stay positive and the ray of hope needs to stay.  Connect with your family members, follow the social distancing norms and make your days productive. In times like these people find meditation  and mindfulness really peaceful.Sitting ideally at home would only remind you of the terrifying situation outside, instead try being constructive- learn a new skill, exercise for some time, connect with your family and friends through social media, read books or listen to some music. Utilize your time wisely.  Don’t let negativity ruin your day.  If it’s possible from your part then please try to contribute something to the society, this isn’t the time to be selfish. Indeed it’s a really difficult time for all of us but it’s our unity that matters. We”ll get over this soon, things will get back to normal. Let’s stand together and fight this!

Taylor Swift: The new Pop poetess of the 21st century

Taylor Swift, the pop phenomenon, took the world by surprise when she dropped her albums Folklore and Evermore during the grim days of humanity. The albums were released during 2020 without much commercialization. From being a teenage icon to a pop star, the ‘cardigan’ song writer recently revealed her poetic side by the release of her two acclaimed albums.

Taylor Swift and her wise strategy

Unlike other prominent artists who spend huge sums for advertising their albums, Taylor Swift did not follow it this time. Instead, she surprised her fandom by announcing on all her social media handles that her 8th studio album Folklore would be released midnight.

While people had little to no time digesting the fact, it did not prevent them from buying the album, thus making it the best sold album of 2020. Now, without pressing foot on the brakes, by using the same strategy, she announced the release of her 9th studio album Evermore, naming it the sister album of Folklore.

The very short span between the release of the two albums (5 months) not only made fans happy, but boosted the sales of both of the albums. While folklore turned out to be the best sold album of 2020, Evermore, following it took the 2nd place. She once again proved that she herself is her sole competitor.

Follow the link to know the other time she proved the world that she was her competition:

Folklore(on the left) and Evermore album covers

Hands down, the best lyricist

It is safe to say that we all had ‘Darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream‘ as our Instagram bio during the 1989 era. Taylor swift is not known just for her dreamy vocals, but also for her irresistible lyrical talent. She can write ‘Shake it off, I shake it off’ and she can write ‘But I’m a fire and I’ll keep your brittle heart warm , if your cascade ocean wave blues come’.

If you do not believe my words, take a peek at the second verse of her song ‘This is me trying’ from folklore:

They told me all of my cages were mental
So I got wasted like all my potential
And my words shoot to kill when I’m mad
I have a lot of regrets about that
I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here
Pourin’ out my heart to a stranger
But I didn’t pour the whiskey

She explains her fallout so gracefully and honestly, I didn’t know until now that it can be written so!

The mental calm her albums gave during this pandemic

This pandemic broke down even the toughest of people. Being bound within four walls, not able to interact with your loved ones and more importantly, not able to even visit our sick friends and family took a devastating toll on the mental health of people regardless of the age factor. For students, the burden of online classes. For homemakers, the everlasting kitchen duty. For employees, the fear of being laid off.

To lament about these effects, I’d have to write a book! Us people, we create safe havens personal to us. Be it listening to your favorite music, reading your favorite book or even having a sound sleep, we try our best to cope up with a gloomy situation. For many people including myself, music has been the last resort. So Taylor did save my 2020!

Particularly, her song ‘Epiphany’ from Folklore details the calamitous experience faced by our frontline medical workers. It says that medics were taught to save lives, not hear the wailing of daughters and sons. Hearing the song made me want to question the mere existence of God if all this suffering is to be endured by people. Words have power. And Taylor meticulously used them to heal people.

Something med school did not cover
Someone’s daughter, someone’s mother
Holds your hand through plastic now
“Doc, I think she’s crashing out”
And some things you just can’t speak about

-Epiphany, album Folklore

So here’s to the queen who consumed our nights through her music. Someone who stripped every shred of the veil concealing the soul, making even the unbreakable ones, vulnerable. Achingly beautiful are the only words that remind me of the albums Folklore and Evermore.

Grateful to you Taylor, for, without you we wouldn’t have been able to believe that light exists at the end of the tunnel.

 

Covid 19 – A rollercoaster for Agriculture

The whole world is dealing with the vigorous impact of covid 19.Thecorona virus has a huge impact in all the sectors.It shattered the whole world. It also made a great impact on Agricultural sector.

 

The agricultural chain in India has been adversely affected by the Covid 19 crisis and the lockdown.

Farmers are the backbone of our nation. Agriculture remains a central pillar of our economy. It provides food need of our nation and also export agricultural products all over the world. It faced severe problem due to the restrictions on domestic and international travel. 

 

At the beginning of lockdown, it was the peak of Rabi seasonseason in India and crops like wheat, paddy, gram, lentil, mustard, etc. we’re at harvestable stage. It’s also the time when the farm harvests reach the market yards. So it became the most critical challenge for Government to ensure proper supply of agricultural products.

 

When the nationwide lockdown was announced, a mass exodus of migrant labour were back to their hometown. The harvesting process was totally off balance, resulting in major issues. The next season sowing process also interrupted due to this.

 

This situation can be dealt by using machinery for sowing process and harvesting which includes less man power. This helps to overcome the lack of labourers.

 

The sale of dairy products, fish, poultry, etc. has also been hit during the lockdown period as the uptake by the organized industry has been affected due to shortage of labourers and transport issues.

The impact on agricultural sector resulted in food shortage and increased prices of food commodities. It affected the consumption pattern. To strengthen the sector we can follow some measures. The strategies are

  1. Risk management
  2. Stakeholder partnerships
  3. Financial reforms
  4. Buffer stocks
  5. Investment
  6. Collective farming
  7. Family farming
  8. Secondary agriculture
  9. Social safety net
  10. Staggered procurement and pricing

People living on agriculture and allied activities, mostly those losing their income from informal employment at this lockdown period, have to be provided with alternative avenues (cash transfer) till the economy bounces back. To sustain the demand for agricultural commodities, investment in key logistics must be enhanced.

 

 

 

 

 

Black Fungus Crisis In India! Symptoms, Cause, Treatment

What is Mucormycosis or Black Fungus? What are it’s symptoms, causes and treatment? Why there is sudden rise in cases of it? And who is at most risk?

Black Fungus

From the past few days, many cases of black fungus are found in India. Black Fungus or Mucormycosis is a very rare and a dangerous fungal infection that could even lead to death. This disease was made notifiable to public by government of India on thursday after asking states to report detail of confirmed and suspected cases to Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme.

Black Fungus cases have been confirmed in 18 states including Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh. Most of these have confirmed it as a notifiable disease. Some states have also declared it as an epidemic like Gujarat, Odisha, Tamil Nadu and union territory of Chandigarh.

Mucormycosis is a very rare and deadly infection caused by exposure to mucor mould. It is present everywhere including the surroundings like soil, plants, decaying fruits and vegetables and even in nose and mucous of healthy people as per Dr. Nair.

It affects brain, lungs, sinus, eyes and other parts and could be extremely dangerous, especially in the case of diabetic individuals or those with very low immunity such as patients of cancer or AIDS.

Basically the floating fungal spore is the cause of it. It can enter your body through any cut in your skin and cause infection. But it is more dangerous if it travel through nose or sinus.

The reported cases of this infection are usually those who were under treatment or were recovered recently. The overusage of steroids is triggering this fungal infection.

Those who are under treatment of Covid 19 are given steroids so that inflammation in their lungs could be reduced. But these steroids also result in reducing immunity and pushing up the sugar levels of infected whether he/she is diabetic or not. It is believed that reduction in immunity and a high increase in sugar level is the primary cause of it.

The disease is having a dangerous mortality rate of about 50%.And if not treated earlier, the doctors have to remove affected part by surgery to save the patient.

Black Fungus symptoms:

  • Sinus Pain
  • Nasal Blockage
  • One sided headache
  • Swelling or Numbness
  • Toothache
  • Loosening of teeth
  • Chest Pain
  • Blurry vision
  • Blackness in skin

Who are at most risk?

  • Recently recovered people from corona
  • Diabetic people
  • People with low immunity
  • People who intake lots of steroids
  • People suffering from Cancer or Aids

Prevention for Black Fungus

  • Use masks
  • Wear long sleeved clothes
  • Wear shoes
  • Maintain personal hygiene
  • Exercise
  • Control Diabetes
  • Maintain Blood Sugar Levels
  • Reduce steroids
  • Keep hydrating yourself
  • Discontinue immunomodulating drugs

There is no specific treatment of black fungus till now. The only option to cure it is by surgery which makes this disease more dangerous. As the infected people have to get their eyes, jaw or any part of body that is infected to cure it.Overall currently in this tough time, one need to stay at home, stay fit, have a healthy diet and exercise. Try to keep your immune system strong and keep patience in current situation.  

 

White fungus – Another deadly disease?

  

 
 
Following black fungus ( mucormycosis), another severe fungal infection has been reported in the country – white fungus. The first case was reported in Patna, Bihar and several other cases have been reported since then. The disease is caused by fungal molds called mucormycetes present naturally in the environment. Though not contagious it can be easily contracted by immuno-suppressant patients. 
  What are the symptoms?

  The infection is more deadly and lethal compared to black fungus according to experts in the field. Besides pulmonary infections, it affects skin, stomach, kidney, private parts, nails, and mouth. The symptoms are very similar to COVID including breathlessness, chest pain, cough, inflammation, swelling, and headaches. Usually, patients go for an antigen test or an RT PCR on seeing such symptoms but get a negative report. The white fungus can be detected by a CT scan or an X-Ray.   

 Who is the most affected?
The infection is primarily seen in COVID patients who have taken steroid medication as steroids reduce immune responses. Patients with low immunity like diabetes patients and cancer patients can be easily infected. Patients on oxygen support are more likely to be infected. The affected are treated with antifungal drugs and they have been showing improvement.   
   How to prevent it?
Both black fungus and white fungus can be prevented by boosting immunity. For non-COVID-affected people, staying healthy and having nutritious food is the key and for COVID-affected patients avoiding overuse of steroids is necessary. Steroids should be used only if the oxygen levels drop significantly.   
Though many reports of white fungus being four times more deadly than black fungus surfaced, India today reported that white fungus is just a common fungal infection called Candidiasis that usually affects humans. According to the report, there are many drugs available to treat this, fluconazole being the common one.  
The fungal mold causing white fungus is present abundantly in the environment therefore Immuno-suppressant patients can easily contact it through water or even from the oxygen cylinders. There have been 5 cases reported in Patna so far and one case is suspected in Uttar Pradesh. Officials have said that it can affect pregnant women and children too. We need to be cautious and boosting immunity must be our priority.

FUSION FUNDAS – INDO-WESTERN FUSION WEAR

FUSION FUNDAS

“SLAY IN INDO-WESTERN AS YOU HAVE NEVER BEFORE”

fashion
Fashion is the only thing that doesn’t go out of fashion. We witness the evolution of fashion every day. Fashion can speak volumes about someone’s personality simply by the clothes they wear and carry off.
Where traditional meets modern, the concept behind Indo-Western fashion is actually pretty simple. Interestingly in the last decade, a beautiful amalgamation of Indian and Western clothing has become popular, which has come to be known as ‘Indo-Western fusion’ garments. Indo-Western fusion garments are usually a combination of Western-style patterns and Indian designs. And the best part is that Indo-Western fashion can literally be anything you like. You are the inventor of your own Indo-Western style and can be experimented with in multiple ways.

I know one of my friends who had a great sense of fashion, and I still remember that where ever she goes, she takes a different and bold personality which ultimate is because of the great taste she has for fashion which makes her confident with her work.

The Indian market for fusion wear:

A recent survey about women’s wear states that Indian women, particularly the working class prefer trousers over saris due to their comfort. This trend is also a preferred choice for Indian youth. Retailers are fast adapting to this change, and are stacking their stores with new apparels.
Coming to the reasons as to why Indo-Western fusion fashion has become so popular in India, several can be cited. Indo-Western garments have an elegant and trendy appearance, without losing the touch of Indian culture, making them suitable for wearing on all kinds of occasions. They are the perfect blend of elements from both Indian and Western cultures, balancing both, i.e. neither too Americanised nor too ethnically Indian. It is, thus, suitable for wear by almost all age groups, and is all the rage among the youngsters in India today. The market for fusion wear is highly price-sensitive, and hence retailers price their merchandise to go with the customer expectations, and also focus on enhancing their portfolio. They are cashing in on the trend by aligning their merchandise as per customer preference and feeding their aspirations. Apparels with Zardozi, Gotta-pati, and embroidery work are seeing an increase in demand. Big brands such as W, BIBA, and Chhabra 555 offer a good mix of Indian and Western wear. Woven fabrics with definitive embellishments have a good market.

Indo-Western Styles:

When fashion goes fusion, kurta becomes a tunic, dupatta becomes a stole, and salwar becomes a pair of trousers. Indian outfits can be given a western touch with creativity in waistlines, cuts in fabric, necklines, and other decorations. Womenswear is the area of primary focus as they facilitate much exploration. A simple-looking kurta gets a ravishing look with straps or halter neckline instead of sleeves. A flowing crepe skirt can be paired with a halter neck top, or spaghetti-strapped top, giving an attractive appearance to the wearer. Regular churidar can be worn with straight pants setting a new trend. Patiala Salwars are teamed with short shirts or designer tops.

How to style Indo-Western attire for women:

Well, there are so many styling tips for indo-western outfits. Style Tips: A Pair of heels and bold earrings, Sharara with a blazer for formal events, saree with jeans, wear a denim jacket over lehenga choli for wedding, printed saree with a shirt, denim jacket over Kurti, saree with short long Kurti, lehenga with shirt style, Wear a bold Neckpiece and a waist belt for a stylish look.

So these were some of the fashion trends which you can definitely start adapting and make your beauty to make everyone say WOW.

The Loneliest Man in History – Michael Collins

Michael Collins is declared to have suffered the heftiest loneliness ever in history. When the famous Apollo 11, descending from Colombia touched down on the lunar surface, on July 20, 1969, colonel Michael Collins remained in the Command Module and orbited several times above the lunar surface. His colleagues Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were lucky enough to make the first lunar landing in history. Michael Collins withstood loneliness in the next 22 hours while Armstrong and Aldrin spent their time on the moon. Collins had also lost contact with his crewmates and with NASA, his line of communication blocked as he flew over the moon’s far side. He suffered complete loneliness at that point. No one in the world might have ever suffered that. “I am alone now, truly alone, and absolutely isolated from any known life” he wrote in his 1974 memoir, “Carrying the fire”. 


 Collins was inquisitive in writing. He had a gift for writing about space and his remarkable yet unique experiences. Apart from “Carrying the Fire”, he was an author of ” Liftoff: The Story of America’s Adventure”(1988) and “Mission to Mars”(1990). Collins also admired the wonder and beauty of space. Even though he orbited above the elegant moon, he was mesmerised and fascinated by Mars. 
 
Collins began flying in 1952, and has orbited the Earth 43 times in the Gemini 10 Capsule. It was Michael Collins who operated the most critical mission of Apollo 11. He was responsible for the safety and protection of his colleagues, Armstrong and Aldrin. Collins was the smartest of them all for he knew to fly the Apollo 11 Capsule, alone. Collins went on with orbiting the moon until July 21, when Armstrong and Aldrin joined him. They safely landed in the Pacific Ocean on July 24. Collin, Armstrong and Aldrin were awarded the Presidential medal of freedom by Richard Nixon. 

While Michael Collins stayed behind, Aldrin and Armstrong made their historic first steps and became the first humans to walk on the moon. Because of which Collins is often called the “Forgotten Astronaut”. While everyone praised Neil Armstrong for making his first step on the lunar surface, Collins was the actual Guardian Angel because of which the historic incident successfully occurred. “He might not have received equal glory as others, but he was an equal partner, reminding our nation about the importance of collaboration in service of great goals. He reminded us of the fragility of our own planet and told us to care for it like the treasure it is” said, President Biden. 
 
After retiring from NASA in 1970, he served in the US State Department. After a year, he became the director of the National Air and Space Museum. Later he stepped down and became the secretary of Smithsonian Institution. Even after that, he proceeded with active beneficial works.
