Delhi HC Takes Suo Motu Cognizance Of Video About Failure Of COVID-19 Helplines

In a fresh and interesting development, the Delhi High Court just recently on May 26, 2020 in a notable judgment titled Court On Its Own Motion vs State Of NCT Of Delhi & Ors in W.P.(C)3250/2020 after taking suo motu cognizance of the grievances faced by a citizen whose mother is COVID19 positive, the Delhi High Court has directed both the Centre as well as the Delhi Government to place on record the status of arrangements and helplines put in place to deal with serious COVID19 patients who need hospitalization. The Division Bench of Delhi High Court comprising of Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Rajnish Bhatnagar has further directed both the governments to assess the adequacy of the helpline capacity and state whether the same is sufficient to deal with the present call traffic and the traffic expected in the foreseeable future, keeping in view the continuous rise in the number of cases being reported each day. Very rightly so!

                                      To start with, the ball is set rolling in para 1 of this noteworthy judgment wherein it is pointed out that, “A video-clipping, authored by a person who claims himself to be Dharmendra Bhardwaj, having Mobile No. 9971993060, is being circulated on social media and has come to our notice. Mr. Dharmendra Bhardwaj apparently recorded the videograph, presumably, on his mobile phone on 22.05.2020, when he was stationed outside Max Patparganj Hospital, Delhi.”  

                                       To put things in perspective, it is then stated in para 2 that, “In this video, he claims that his mother Shyama Sharma was admitted to Max Patpartganj Hospital on 19.05.2020. On 21.05.2020, her Covid-19 test was found to be positive. He claims that the Deputy Medical Superintendent of the said hospital called him and spoke to him on the intercom, and asked him to arrange a ventilator and hospital bed in some other hospital.”

                                To be sure, it is then laid bare in para 3 that, “Mr. Dharmendra Bhardwaj claims that he visited several hospitals, but to no avail. Importantly, he claims that he called the Helpline No. 1075 on several occasions with no response. On one occasion, he was given the number of DSO bearing No. 9870552526. He called the said number, but again to no avail. On two other occasions, he was given two other numbers, namely, 011-22307133 and 22307145 respectively, which too were non-responsive.”

                                  Worse still, it is then further laid bare in para 4 that, “The said Mr. Dharmendra Bhardwaj expressed his helplessness and anguish, and states that the tall claims made by the Govt. of NCT of Delhi (GNCTD) and the Central Government with regard to adequate arrangements being in place – to deal with patients of Covid-19 who require hospitalization and treatment, are far from true on the ground. He also states that he has maintained the complete record of the calls that he has made, and that he is willing to share the information with regard to his own experience.”

                               As it turned out, the Bench then minces no words to say in para 5 that, “In our view, the aforesaid video recording raises serious issues of public concern in the present day context. A person who, or whose family or friend is found Covid-19 positive, should be able to call the helplines to not only report such occurrence, but to also seek guidance and assistance with regard to the hospitals to which such patient may be taken – if hospitalization is necessary keeping in view of the condition of the patient. The helplines should render meaningful and effective help to the callers. If the experience of Mr. Dharmendra Bhardwaj is anything to go by, it appears, that this aspect has not been adequately addressed by the respondents.”

                                         No wonder, it is then held in para 6 that, “We, accordingly, take suo motu notice of the said video recording, and direct registration of a PIL on the Courts own Motion.”

                                Furthermore, it is then envisaged in para 7 that, “We directed the Court Master, Mr Lokpal Singh to inform Mr Rahul Mehra, Standing Counsel for the GNCTD and Mr Kirtiman Singh, Senior Standing Counsel for the Union of India in advance, so that they could remain present. The video clip was also directed to be shared with them. Accordingly, both Mr Rahul Mehra and Mr Kirtiman Singh are present. Mr Mehra states that the GNCTD has provided 10 helpline numbers, which include the numbers 011 – 22307133 and 22307145 (which Mr Dharmendra Bhardwaj dialed), apart from an inter-active number 1031. He submits that the helpline numbers were found not to be functioning efficiently and instructions have been issued to set the system in order. He submits that the same would be done within the next couple of days. He submits that the helpline number 1075 is managed by the Central Government.”

                                 To say the least, it is then put forth in para 8 that, “Mr Kirtiman Singh submits that number 1075 is an All-India helpline number and about 3 lakh calls have been received on that number. He submits that Mr. Dharmendra Bhardwaj was provided the number of the DSO- taken note of hereinabove, who is an officer of the GNCTD.”

                                        Be it noted, it is then brought out in para 9 that, “Mr Mehra has placed on record a few documents which, contain a press release issued by the GNCTD on 25.05.2020. The status with regard to the number of hospital beds earmarked for serious COVID-19 patients in Government and Private hospitals in NCT of Delhi is also placed on record. Mr. Mehra informs us that a mobile application is under development, which would give live-updates of the hospital beds available in Delhi Government Hospitals and Private Hospitals, and other related information. He states that the mobile application would be launched in the next couple of days.”

                                     To put it succinctly, the Bench then directs in para 10 that, “The GNCTD and the Central Government should respond to the grievances narrated by Mr Dharmendra Bhardwaj and to place before us the status with regard to the arrangements made to deal with serious Covid-19 patients, who need hospitalization. The status of functional and responsive helpline numbers being operated by the GNCTD and the Central Government should also be placed before the Court. The respondents should assess the adequacy of the helpline capacity and state whether the same is sufficient to deal with the present call traffic and the traffic expected in the foreseeable future, keeping in view the continuous rise in the number of cases being reported each day. In our view, the helpline numbers of the GNCTD should also provide guidance and information to the caller as to which hospital has beds available for treatment of serious COVID-19 patients – both in Government and Private Hospitals, particularly in the proximity of the caller patient’s location. The capacity created to deal with calls made on the helpline numbers; the nature of assistance rendered, and; the log maintained for the same, if any, should also be placed before the Court.” There is no reason as to why this should not be complied with in totality!

                                          Going forward, it is then further directed in para 11 that, “The GNCTD should also consider providing ambulance facility for pickup of COVID-19 serious patients for hospitalization once a caller reports a serious COVID-19 case – which appears to require hospitalization looking to the condition reported.”

                                      Moving on, it is then directed in para 12 that, “Let the video recording of Dharmendra Bhardwaj be converted into a Compact Disk recording, and be placed on the file. A transcript of what he states in the video should also be prepared and placed on the file. Both these documents should be provided to Mr Rahul Mehra, learned Standing Counsel for GNCTD as well as Mr Kirtiman Singh who represents the Central Government before us, during the course of the day.”  

                                         What’s more, it is then directed in para 13 that, “We appoint Mr Om Prakash, Advocate (Mobile No. 9810794902) as the Amicus Curiae to assist the Court. He shall contact Mr Dharmendra Bhardwaj and, after informing him of our order, make an audio recording of his statement with his consent. The learned Amicus Curiae shall also call the helpline numbers and shall report with regard to their effectiveness in providing help to the callers. Whatever information/documents are gathered from Mr Dharmendra Bhardwaj, and upon calling the helpline numbers, should be placed on record by the learned Amicus Curiae along with his report. Advance copies of the same be served on learned counsels for the respondents through e-mail. For that purpose, Mr Rahul Mehra and Mr Kirtiman Singh have provided their respective e-mail addressed, which are as follows:

Mr Rahul Mehra – criminalstandingcounsel@gmail.com

Mr Kirtiman Singh – kirtimansinghoffice@gmail.com.”  

                                      Not stopping here, it is then also directed in para 14 that, “We direct the Central Government, as well as the GNCTD, to file their status reports on all the aspects mentioned in the said video recording and those taken note of by us, before the next date of hearing. The matter may be placed before the bench headed by Hon’ble  the Chief Justice, which is the PIL bench, on the next date.”

                                 Notably, it is then held in para 15 that, “A copy of this order be communicated to the learned Amicus Curiae Mr Om Prakash, Advocate.” Finally, it is then held in the last para 16 that, “List on 03.06.2020.”

                                            To summarize, it is good to see that the Delhi High Court took suo motu cognizance of video about failure of Covid-19 helplines. It is also good to see that it did not pull back itself from issuing the necessary and commendable directives in this regard so that the needy get the due help promptly! It must be appreciated generously for this! There can be no denying it!

A graduate from NIT Hamirpur, Shantanu belongs to a modest service class family. While preparing for CAT exam, he earned 3 years of working experience in a fertilizer industry.

 

Shantanu appeared in CAT 2018 also, and scored 95.73 percentile but decided to prepare again to get his dream B-school. He likes playing Football and his hobbies and interests include Photography, Trekking and Hiking.

 

MBAUniverse.com invited Shantanu to share his exam taking strategy and GD-PI experience. Read on for his views and success mantras.

 

Q: How did you perform in CAT 2019?

A: I scored 99.73 overall percentile in CAT 2019; 89.44 percentile in VARC section; 99.76 in DILR Section and 99.86 percentile in Quantitative Ability section. I also appeared in CAT 2018 and scored 95.73 percentile.

 

Q: Apart from CAT 2019, which other exams did you appear?

A: Apart from CAT 2019, I appeared in XAT 2020 and scored 99.914 percentile; appeared in IIFT 2020 and scored 98.74 percentile.

 

Q: Which top B-schools have offered you admission and which one you have finally chosen?

A: Apart from getting final admission offer from IIM Ahmedabad, I have converted IIM Calcutta, IIM Shillong, MDI Gurgaon, all Baby IIMs. I have finally decided to join IIM Ahmedabad

 

Q: What have been your academics and family back ground? Do you have some work experience as well?

A: I graduated from NIT Hamirpur with Chemical Engineering in 2017 with 82.6 percent. I scored 91.2 percent in class X; 90.2 in class XII and 82.6 in Graduation. I have 3 years of work experience in the Fertilizer Industry. I belong to a service class family. My father is in Service, Mother is a housewife and younger brother is in 11th grade.

 

Q: What was your overall preparation strategy for CAT?

A: CAT 2019 was my second attempt at the exam, when the first one in 2018 fetched me admits to some new and baby IIMs. I started preparing again in May’19, mostly focusing on mocks and timing my attempts effectively. I started cross-checking and analysing my wrong answers, something I never used to do earlier.

 

The quants section was my strength but still I devoted equal time to all the three sections with some extra effort towards DI and LR which is I believe is the most unpredictable section in the exam. You could practice a hell lot of LR sets prior to the exam but might still hassle on the D-Day. LR sets are not straightforward like Quants or DI sets. Timing my complete mocks and sectional tests along with thoroughly analysing my wrong as well as right attempts turned out to be fruitful.

 

Q: Please share your sectional preparation strategy for VARC in CAT

A: For Verbal and RC, I used to read articles from diverse fields to get a hold of difficulty faced to comprehend as well as retain a column when it does not belong to something you’re usually used to. Reading articles from newspapers and business magazines not only helped in VA and RC but also made a solid base to ace the current affairs during the interview and GD rounds.

 

Q: Please share your preparation strategy for DILR Section

A: For DILR, I focused mostly on LR and LR based DI sets, as for the past few years you rarely get to see a pure DI set in the actual exam. LR being the most unpredictable section in CAT, I followed a strategy to solve and analyse each and every set I face either during mocks or during practise from dedicated books. Try looking for practise material online on GoogleDrive and you’ll find plenty of LR sets to solve. IMS’s mocks helped a lot in DI LR section as they had questions which were closest to the ones actually faced in the CAT Exam.

 

Q: Please share your preparation strategy for Quant Section

A: For Quants, I thoroughly practised books by Arun Sharma with a timed approach to solve at least 25-28 questions from various topics under 60 minutes. Apart from this I also solved previous years’ CAT papers with minimal use of on screen calculator.

 

Q: Was there any particular section/area that you were weak at? How did you overcome this challenge?

A: I was lagging a bit in VA and LR during my initial preparation. For VA there’s only one approach and that is to read, read and read. Read from publications you’re not familiar or used to. Read foreign journals/magazines, editorials in intl. newspapers etc. For LR I solved as many sets I could get my hands on with a timed approach, trying to crack the set within 10-12 minutes was my strategy.

 

Q: What role did Mocks play in your success? How many mocks did you attempt before the exam?

A: Mocks are the key to better preparation as well as time management skills. I solved about 40 mocks before the actual CAT.

 

Q: Did you self-prepare or attend a coaching centre and why?

A: I self-prepared for the exams and took guidance from IMS Surat for the WAT-GD-PI. I also enrolled for mocks with IMS because of their well-structured and closest to CAT mocks.

 

Q: Please share your strategy for the CAT Day. What was your last-minute preparation? How did you plan your CAT test taking?

A: Strategy for D-Day would be to avoid any last minute preparation. Since the syllabus for CAT is so wide and even has no boundaries defined for VARC and DILR, last minute hustle mostly turns fruitless and overloads you with added stress. I appeared for one mock, a day before the exam and scored just 16 in VARC which freaked me out. It somehow affected my actual performance in CAT where I scored merely 40 marks in VARC which took my sectional percentile below 90.

 

Take rest and sleep well a day before the exam, not much you’ll be able to change with a day’s preparation. I spent my rest of the day watching Netflix after flunking VARC a day before CAT.

 

Q: How did you prepare for GD/PI/WAT. Please share your GD/WAT topics & PI questions?

A: Post the release of response sheets by IIM Kozhikode and realizing I was scoring 180+, I started my preparation for GD and PI. The first thing I did was to prepare an exhaustive write-up about myself, starting from academics, work experience, achievements, projects, interests and hobbies, short and long term goals. Current affairs for GD and PI didn’t require much preparation owing to my habit of reading newspapers and magazines religiously.

 

I attended a few sessions from experts along with two mock GD and PI sessions, of which one was purely focused on my IIM Ahmedabad interview, which was only my second interview in a long list of 14-15 shortlists including IIM A,C,L,S, MDI, SPJIMR, XLRI and IIFT. I also prepared a few core subjects from my engineering and also mathematics, which eventually aided me a lot during my IIM A, C & L interviews.

 

Q: Your final message and tips for candidates preparing for CAT 2020.

A: I want to share following four tips for the prospective candidates:

 

Always analyse your mocks thoroughly. It’s not at all tough to land in the top 1 percentile.

Try not to appear for a mock on the penultimate day. Relax and sleep well for the D-Day.

Try not get stressed, during the exam and also in the interviews.

Never globe in the interviews. Professors will have a laugh and you’ll walk out looking like a clown.

One must be wondering how an object made of feather can travel so fast by the action of a human being. Below are some of the statistics for your knowledge.

  • The fastest ever smash recorded in a men’s singles competition was when Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia smashed with a speed of 305 km/h (189 mph).
  • Fu Haifeng of China has set an official world record smash during a doubles badminton match by smashing with a speed of 332 km/h (206 mph) on June 3, 2005.

Badminton’s promoters hope the speed record may bolster the sport’s image and facilitate move it out of alternative racket sports’ shadows, notably in regions wherever lawn tennis and squash reign supreme.

Besides Guinness, I saw some books claiming the speed for shuttlecock is concerning three hundred km/h.” – Ming, Wang of Philippine court game Community, one Jan 2002.

It is a renowned undeniable fact that a shuttle slows down because it travels through the air. It is believed that the shuttle slows down by half-hour each 2 meters .

Badminton rallies last longer than that of lawn tennis and at intervals twenty seconds, it’s calculable that the player hit the shuttlecock forty to fifty times.

The on-court movements in an exceedingly game of court game are additional. It’s additionally calculable that on a mean, there area unit 2 thousand hits per match.

Throughout a match, the player will run up to four miles within the court. Nonetheless however rarely will we see the players roar whereas touch the shuttle.

Just a week


A week back we came across the most disturbing news of 2020 . The demise of Sushant Singh Rajput due to suicide.


A week back the news channel and social media was filled with mental health concerns and #mentalhealthmatters was trending.

A week back everyone was checking on each other that whether they are in good condition or not ?


A week after the tragic incident everything is returning back to normal. The #mentalhealthmatters isn’t trending anymore on Instagram and Twitter and we have already started behaving like the usual self which we were before the incident because we are done with #mentalhealthmatters because it was just an social media obligation which need to be fulfilled.


We woke from long sleep for a week and we are going to sleep again until and unless any other tragedy like this happens again.
Taking the most urgent wake up call for week isn’t going to make any difference . We need to be persistently awake then only we will be able to make any change in the present scenario of the most depressed country in the world.


A study reported in WHO, conducted for the NCMH (National Care Of Medical Health), states that at least 6.5 per cent of the Indian population suffers from some form of the serious mental disorder, with no discernible rural-urban differences. Though there are effective measures and treatments, there is an extreme shortage of mental health workers like psychologists, psychiatrists, and doctors. As reported latest in 2014, it was as low as ”one in 100,000 people”. The average suicide rate in India is 10.9 for every lakh people and the majority of people who commit suicide are below 44 years of age.
Almost 80% people diagnosed with mental sickness do not seek any kind of treatment and there are 150 million more who need access to therapy and this is projected to increase by 20% by 2020.


These statistics are quite scary but we Indians still haven’t taken the issue of depression seriously. If we aren’t going to take it seriously people suffering will continue to suffer and people bullying will continue to be ignorant.


In today’s world people already feel depressed due to various known and unknown reasons and we as a community add fuel to the fire by constantly judging them and trolling them.


Have we ever thought why we are doing this ?


What pleasure we are getting from making someone life’s more messier?


What we are achieving by forcing someone into suffering?


On one hand we are supporting that people should speak about their mental health more often and people should stop doing back bitching because we really don’t know how it is affecting the other person and on the other hand we are trolling celebrities, judging and blaming people.

What kind of hypocrite behaviour is this ?


We should know that a life exists outside social media which is much precious than that on social media. We should not forget that mental health really matters .


We need to understand that we should behave kindly towards everyone so that even if they are going through something messy they will get some positive energy from your behaviour .


Life is a precious gift by god, and it should not be wasted and disrespected by creating troubles in others life.

Never Fear to Fail .

Treat Failure Like a Scientist

When a scientist runs an experiment, there are all sorts of results that could happen. Some results are positive and some are negative, but all of them are data points. Each result is a piece of data that can ultimately lead to an answer.

And that’s exactly how a scientist treats failure: as another data point.

This is much different than how society often talks about failure. For most of us, failure feels like an indication of who we are as a person.

Failing a test means you’re not smart enough. Failing to get fit means you’re undesirable. Failing in business means you don’t have what it takes. Failing at art means you’re not creative. And so on.

But for the scientist, a negative result is not an indication that they are a bad scientist. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Proving a hypothesis wrong is often just as useful as proving it right because you learned something along the way.

Your failures are simply data points that can help lead you to the right answer.

Failure Is the Cost You Pay to Be Right

None of this is to say that you should seek to make mistakes or that failing is fun. Obviously, you’ll try to do things the right way. And failing on something that is important to you is never fun.

But failure will always be part of your growth for one simple reason…

If you’re focused on building a new habit Or learning a new skill or mastering a craft of any type, then you’re basically experimenting in one way or another. And if you run enough experiments, then sometimes you’re going to get a negative result.

It happens to every scientist and it will happen to you and me as well. To paraphrase Seth Godin: Failure is simply a cost you have to pay on the way to being right.

Treat failure like a scientist. Your failures are not you. Your successes are not you. They are simply data points that help guide the next experiment.

Working When Work Isn’t Easy

Anyone can work hard when they feel motivated.

When I was an athlete, I loved going to practice the week after a big win. Who wouldn’t? Your coach is happy, your teammates are pumped up, and you feel like you can beat anyone. As an entrepreneur, I love working when customers are rolling in and things are going well. Getting results has a way of propelling you forward.

But what about when you’re bored? What about when the work isn’t easy? What about when it feels like nobody is paying attention or you’re not getting the results you want?

It’s the ability to work when work isn’t easy that makes the difference.

It’s Not the Event, It’s the Process

All too often, we think our goals are all about the result. We see success as an event that can be achieved and completed.

But if you look at the people who are consistently achieving their goals, you start to realize that it’s not the events or the results that make them different. It’s their commitment to the process. They fall in love with the daily practice, not the individual event.

What’s funny, of course, is that this focus on the process is what will allow you to enjoy the results anyway…

If you want to be a great writer, then having a best-selling book is wonderful. But the only way to reach that result is to fall in love with the process of writing.

If you want the world to know about your business, then it would be great to be featured in Forbes magazine. But the only way to reach that result is to fall in love with the process of marketing.

If you want to be in the best shape of your life, then losing 20 pounds might be necessary. But the only way to reach that result is to fall in love with the process of eating healthy and exercising consistently.

What matters the most is the consistency and the feeling to keep thriving untill and unless the dreams are achieved .

Mental Grit:Need of the Hour

Being mentally strong is one of the most toughest things, be it in times of an adversity or a calamity which puts your life upside down. Mental strength can be one of the factors behind success in various fields, mental strength is an integral component which is necessary for the survival of the fittest.

We have thousands of mentors, gurus and psychologists who inspire us with their wise words to be mentally strong.

 According to the researchers Graham Jones, Sheldon Hanton, and Declan Connaughton Mental Strength is “Having the natural or developed psychological edge that enables you to: generally, cope better than your opponents with the many demands (competition, training, lifestyle) that sport places on a performer; specifically, be more consistent and better than your opponents in remaining determined, focused, confident, and in control under pressure.”

Many a times for a student to succeed in his/her academic area it does it’s not the IQ which is important rather it’s the mental strength and this has been proven by psychologists, Mental strength can help you win your weak areas/Situations as if one has grit and determination he/she can achieve anything they put their mind on. EQ,SQ and AQ play an important role as well.

One should be able to overcome hurdles without letting it affect their daily life and emotional wellbeing and for this one requires mental strength and a great amount of grit. Mental strength is a component which helps one confront and overcome difficult times.

There are many tips and tricks which one should adopt to increase their mental strength which can really be difficult in tough times.

Overcome Negative Thoughts-

This is not easy for all of us, but this is one of the main hindrances which keeps us lagging behind and to overcome negative thoughts one has to bring in positive ones as negative thoughts can sprout like a seed and can poison the brain like a weed, they can become a hindrance and a barrier in moving further.

  • To be more productive-

Being productive keeps our minds busy and hence away from the unwanted thoughts, it can be anything like reading a book, walking, painting or even dancing. It allows us to come out of the whirlpool of pain and sorrow and also keeps our mind busy as we are engaged in certain activities.

  • Use your mental energy appropriately-

To use you energy in the required processes that is to not waste your mental energy in areas which can break you and mentally drain you. As using your mental energy towards the right path will benefit you and using it in the wrong way will increase stress, burden and will affect your mental health.

  • Positive thinking and core beliefs-

One of the other ways to increase metal strength is by attributing positive thoughts and beliefs towards our future prospects and to evaluate, change and strengthen our core beliefs.eg-if you feel that you will never be able to get the first place in a competition, your chances of losing increase five times as you would lack the will, determination, grit and mental strength to achieve first place. Such weak core beliefs hamper your mental strength instead if you think I will be able to achieve the first position in the competition your chances of winning double as you will work hard with will, grit and determination and you will stay positive.

These are just some of the ways to become head strong and increase your mental strength. Mental strength has become a necessity to overcome the tumultuous times in this twisted life and achieve all our goals in life.

World AND Internet

WORLD BEFORE INTERNET

 Have you ever wondered how life was without internet?  Those were the days when connecting to people and places took days, even months and were mostly delayed. Things used to take more time than usual…  Life was so different without internet.  Life appeared to be slow and much subtle. It was long and tedious process that feels like never ending. But after the invention of the internet, the world has never been the same.

After invention of internet life became wait-free, stress-free and much more comfortable.   From receiving letters in a minute to posting pictures, and even live videos and broadcasts- life has become super easy and fun to explore. Internet has given a boom to educational society. Earlier we would have to search and consult hundreds of different books of thousands of pages manually in library for finding something and now all of this can be done in a blink of an eye – just enter your question in Google and get the answer to all the problems on your mind and more which might not have even crossed your mind.

INTERNET: The Technology

The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. This protocol defines the format of all the electronic communication which travels between computers through wired or wireless media. Internet is the fast mode that helps resolve many problems in one click.

Internet has made the world a global village where communicating with people sitting thousands of miles away and seeing places is just a click away. Internet has made the world more explored and lively. From entertainment to infotainment internet has everything that the world needs. From travelling to connecting people in another part of the world has been made easy with the help of internet.  Obviously internet has changes the meaning of life to much extent.

Like other imperative advanced inventions, internet connectivity too has seen much development in recent years.  From slow dial-ups to fast broadband to Wi-Fi and now the recently being much discussed is the Li-Fi service of the internet.

FORMS OF INTERNET CONNECTICITY

Broadband has the highest access speed and is most used service of the internet. It is available in four different forms like DSL (Digital subscriber line), fiber-optic, cable, and satellite based connections. It is believed to be one the cheapest available connectivity methods of the internet.  Broadband is a WAN (wide area network) mostly used in an organization or a city.

On the other hand, a Wi-Fi is mainly a wireless local network. It allows the devices to connect with each other without the cables. It is simply being called as the wireless medium of the internet. Local area network (LAN) has a limit and has a restricted range where it can be used. It can limit the no of user you want to allow to connect to your network and can be password protected.

Don’t love like my generation does.

Do not love like my generation does.
we are a generation of broken people, we take things either too seriously or too casually. We open our hearts, keep ourselves like an open journal in front of someone a journal in which you have been jotting down your secrets for weeks and months and years.Then we love with everything we have, we go all in. Travel for 10 kilometres just to sit on Marine drive and listen to them talking, or we then shut people out, we ghost them and ourselves, we cook our meals and binge watch all day .
I mean I agree we are going through crisis and stuff to be honest are we the only generation who has been going through crisis all at once-unemployment, reception, lock down, civil war, a freakin pandemic-yet our only plan to fight against all these issues which are taking all over the world is just by looking at memes, putting them our insta stories and we show anger, love, hugs and kisses through emoticons.personal meets have turned into video calls and for some not even that.
our generation redefined love stories. We all have heard love stories from the generation our parents belong to. The concept where they would exchange letters with the help of friends, call on landline in the constant fear that their parents my pick it up and they would have to hang up. now we video call and hangout in cafes and snap when we are bored video call when we miss our loved ones.
once in a while we fall in or out of love without our parents ever finding about it. But in my generation it is not true love unless you post a picture of them on Instagram.
Haha such a  wannabe.
we fucked of the concept of love, we solace in moments that don’t last forever.To be fair we fucked up so many things like Polaroids cause we replaced it with the digital cams, phones and DSLRs .we forget so many things and act as if everything is normal.We fucked up letters and replaced them with emails and again acted as it was so normal.
From one night stand to casual dating to open relationships, we have everything on your fingertips. And all of this is okay with us.The problem is we are the generation who has forgotten to love selflessly to stand up for love, to have the backs of our love, to believe in something or someone, to believe in the concept of forever.
We don’t practice what we preach, we read novels like”the fault in our stars”and”walking disaster”and we consume movies like “me before you” and “SPF 18″and we all want a Happy ending no pain no struggle, but we don’t put efforts. We don’t cross mountains not even puddles.
We just want all things to happen quickly. Did we forget to love? We run even before we can even walk. We aren’t shy, we are forward, we approach people we like. When we are done when we get bored we move on to the next person.
We’re leaving behind too many broken hearts. And broken hearts raise broken families perhaps we are the last generation who will love. So don’t love like my generation does.maybe anyone after us they won’t be in love anymore they will all be in love with the concept of love.
ciao for now.

Nepotism in Bollywood..

Sushant Singh Rajput, a well known veteran actor who played character MS Dhoni, who played well in kedarnath, who made chichhore superhit, commited suicide recently.

An Unacceptable suicide, no one was accepting death of Sushant, no one was accepting that Sushant would never be seen on cinema screen.

First death which made not only bollywood but whole the country even world, shocked.

there was no eye left without tears. Perhaps Sushant didn’t realise that he was not only a actor in bollywood but somehow he was our representation in bollywood..today which we have lost. Perhaps country was mourning for this loss of representation.

Gradually twitter started with the tweets with hastags of nepotism in bollywood. Every one started to look into the matter and came with a proof of nepotism and favourism.

The fact is true, Sushant never got that respect in the industry for which he was supposed, he was worthy.

Karan johar and Alia bhatt was trolled very badly for different reasons. Alia bhatt had denied to know him in the show coffee with Karan. Karan was blamed for his discriminatory behaviour in films.

There was a information spread in the country that some production houses banned him and denied to promote him.

Somewhere nepotism in bollywood is acceptable to a good extent where no talent is ignored. but when it comes to talent and favorism is shown, it creats huge pain somewhere in the heart.

If a outsider fails to give a superhit movie, his career is finished lumpsum. But at the same place for the artists who have godfathers in the industry, gates are always open. they get another chance very easily.

Hoping, this accident will be a revolution in the industry not to promote nepotism.

thanks to all.

Understanding happiness

Happiness is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment . Being happy always start on a person’s mood because no one will make us happy unless we choose it and no individual can make us happy unless we decide it.

Happiness is a particular emotion which is highly valued in our present day society. It is the summation of multiple emotions that push to better an individual’s well-being. Even though many claim happiness to be the factor of life that is difficult to measure, we can still measure what is currently part of your happiness equation. Let’s think back at the last day or week, and remember what things or events had a positive influence on your happiness. But the way we define happiness will likely change from day to day as well. Let’s imagine that life has six major components. For most people, the factors would include work and career, personal life ( including loved ones and romantic life) , physical and mental health ,financial stability, interests and hobbies (such as reading, surfing the Internet,music, sports), faith and belief system (religion, science or astrology). When a person has ample satisfaction in all six spheres, he or she achieves happiness. However, when a deficiency occurs in any of these six factors, the person’s spheres are no longer in harmony, and dissatisfaction or unhappiness occurs. Yet sometimes if a person is having problems in one sphere, satisfaction in the other spheres can compensate temporarily for a deficiency in one. For the long range, a state of happiness is dependent on all six spheres working in harmony.

A key for happiness before anything else is to be optimistic because everything should happen mentally first so that you can set your mind to choose happiness all the time even through tough times. For this we need to define our own happiness experience it. There are different kinds of happiness. These include short-term happiness and long-term happiness.

Short-term happiness

Short term happiness is a quick and easy moment of happiness. It’s normally relatively easy to obtain, yet its effect quickly diminishes. It’s what you believe will bring you instant happiness in the shortest amount of time. For example: getting to eat a slice of pizza, having a laugh with friends,buying a new outfit ,watching an exciting game of football etc

Long-term happiness

Long-term happiness is based on concepts that are not created by a single event. It takes planning and a concise string of actions to get you to long term happiness. It is created by feeling happy about your purpose in life, the successes that you’ve had and/or the satisfaction of who you are and what you’ve accomplished. For example, reaching a professional milestone, being married to the love of your life, journey to lose weight etc.

Happiness involves maximizing pleasant emotions and minimizing unpleasant emotions. Hence we should be aware of our own happiness, actively pursue both short-term and long-term happiness and find our perfect balance to lead a truly happy life.

These are some real exam

My SUPERHERO: DAD

“Dad: A son’s first hero, a daughter’s first love.” In America, Father’s Day was founded by Sonora Smart Dodd, and celebrated on the third Sunday of June for the first time in 1910. It is held on various days in many parts of the world all throughout the year, often in the months of March, May and June. The day is celebrated to appreciate the role played by fathers and father figures. By the way we appreciate daily our father for their hard work or how they protect us from all harmful effects. How he is going to fulfill our all dreams or demand without any question. He is the one in all over world who support you and take stand for you at any circumstances. He never leaves your stand. Always teach you difference about good and bad. Without any profit he is with you and hold your hand throughout life. So all children want to make their father’s proud, and an involved father promotes inner growth and strength.

He is a teacher by profession and is a very hardworking person. He is an intelligent person who answers all my questions in a witty way.

He believes in practicing what he preaches. So I find my father very honest. His motto is Honesty is best policy and he follows this totally. And he never finds it difficult to be that way.
My father is kind and generous. If anyone approaches him with a genuine need he helps them to whatever extent he can. And he never grudges any help he offers. My father is time conscious and punctual. He is strict with me because he wants me to be disciplined and want to see me as a successful person. Being disciplined is tough, but I know it is for my good. And so I always try my best to follow what my father tells me to do. Whenever I am in a difficulty my father helps me out with love and affection, make me understand to tackle all issues. He never tells lie and doesn’t like those who tell lies.He loves humanity and serves humanity at his best.My father is very kind, loving ,honest and generous person. He likes peace and tranquility, he doesn’t like noise.Wherever he find noise pollution, he leaves that place immediately and sit where there is silence and peace.

He is the lamp of my family, he is the basic pillar of my family. He never take lunch or dinner alone, we all take lunch and dinner together on dinning table. He suggest all family members to take care of one’s health. I love my Dad too much. Around him I found my whole world. And he is my first love and he also love me unconditionally. I am a girl but he gave me all right, freedom , people who don’t even give to boys. He trust me a lot. I am very glad and lucky girl that I have a father like you. Thank you so much for being with me always.

I killed the girl i used to be!

I killed the girl I used to be!
Do you ever miss the way you used to be, the way you use to dress, the way you used to view life around you or the way you used to love or the way you use to hold onto things and the way you used to think and maybe the way you used to accept love.
I mean I miss my old self sometimes. I had some habits I miss them. I miss that bit about myself. I have heard this actually a lot depression and anxiety changes you, depression and anxiety changes you inside out when I was in that phase it was insomnia which resulted in me being staying up all night until sunrise. I miss those late night sessions of music and writing and reading and studying.
but the fact that if you miss a toxic thing it does not mean you need it back in your life.
of course insomnia needed and presented me amazing things like the all night reading sessions and also taught me the bitterness of your coffee starts settling in once you actually start to feel it instead of just drinking it.
But if I ever wanted them back that dark phase would also come back.
I also told a certain person sometime that don’t judge me by past because I don’t live there anymore.
it is very truly said the depression and anxiety causes a lot of things and that you do get stuck in your own body. And it did kill some parts of me.
when Taylor Swift said that her old self could not come to the phone because she was dead, I got it, I felt it. The old me doesn’t exist anymore which doesn’t mean that I have changed entirely, but sometimes the little things inside you that changed are kinda like a small death.
I have mourned the loss of the person who used to wear beach tropical dresses and black flats, but now I don’t mind being in black and sturdy sneakers.but I also celebrated the death of the girl who used to play amazing sports,but when someone made fun of her in a bad way she stopped, who made terrible choices, who got into relationships, broken one’s because she craved for love and then broke her self. though she collected her pieces and walked away well being very strong.
I truly had changed.
Five years ago, I probably would have let you walk all over Me and I would have been fine by it.
Four years ago, I would have made fun of you even if I would have been guilty for doing the same thing, being a hypocrite.
three years ago I refuse to believe that everyone has their own problems everyone is going to the same hell just on different levels dealing with the different demons. I always thought my problems were the worst.
2 years ago, I would have never opened up to you the way I will now because believing that the fact no one deserves to know me like that.
and a year ago I wouldn’t have the courage to tell people I overcame depression just in the fear that they would judge me.
I’ve always said this to everyone in my posts that we need to be accepting we need to be welcoming and we need to be kind because it takes nothing instead just saves some lives.
I am not the same person a year ago and i am more than okay with it because I know I have grown, not just by age, but with mind, and ethics and value and ideas, my believes and everything inside me. And it is wonderful. So yes I killed the girl I used to be. But also I love the new me. And do not apologize for evolving, all that a stagnant pool of water does is it spreads sickness.
And you don’t want to be sickening do you.
Ciao for now.

Tips for Lockdown Workout

Most of us have trouble executing a proper exercise routine. Despite our failed attempts, we try our best to get back into shape. 

There are so many reasons to exercise. To remain fit and healthy. To have your mental health in perfect balance. Where the topic of mental health is concerned, exercise can help people during the trying times of stress and anxiety. At the same time, exercise can help elevate mood and attract peaceful sleep.

Hitting the gym was quite common before. But due to the lockdown blues, it’s best to fit a perfect schedule for a workout. 

Here are some useful tips for a perfect lockdown workout 

Morning time

The best time to get on the mat and shake your muscles is after the sunrise. When the mind is fresh, it becomes easy to concentrate on what one is eventually indulged into.

The beats

Exercising to the perfect beats makes thing a lot better. Don the hat of a ’house dancer’ where barely anyone watches over you. Shut the door of your bedroom and flow with the beats.

Proper attire

Whenever one is about to work out, make sure the clothes you put on the body is quite loose. Such clothes don’t seem to blend in with your sweat. In short, refrain from choosing outfits that will attract sweaty germs in the air. You can even opt for cotton vets or pants. 

Focus on the muscles

Working out during the lockdown can burst stress. To make things even more intriguing, focus on which part of the body you want to lose that extra fat.

Hydrate enough

90% of our bodies is made up of water. Working out during the summery monsoon increases our water intake. This steamy weather is meant to flush more thirst.

Maintain social distance at home at all times. Enjoy working out at the comfort of your homes. Without anyone hampering you, do your thing. Be occupied.
