Solaris sparc(32-bit): – Intel has given a name to their solar-powered CPU, which was originally shown at IDF 2011 a few days ago. The CPU, codenamed Claremont, is based on an outdated Socket 7 Pentium design but has been tweaked to consume less than 10mW at peak power. Currently, ultra-low voltage CPUs require 15W or more, which is about 1,500 times as much power.
AVR – It is a microcontroller family created by Atmel in 1996. These are modified Harvard architecture 8-bit RISC single-chip microcontrollers. The pin size varies depending on the AVR, for example, tiny AVR has 9-32 pins, mega AVR has 28-100 pins, and so on.
MIPS- It is a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) created in the United States by MIPS Computer Systems, now MIPS Technologies. MIPS architectures were initially 32-bit; 64-bit variants were later created. It comes in a variety of variants, including MIPS I, MIPS II, MIPS III, and so on.
Intel 8086: – The 8086 (also known as the iAPX 86) is a 16-bit microprocessor chip created by Intel between early 1976 and its introduction on June 8, 1978. The 8086 architectures gave birth to the x86 architecture, which went on to become Intel’s most successful processor series. It is offered as a DIP chip with 40 pins. It operates on a 5V DC power supply.
ARM- It is a series of reduced instruction set computing (RISC) architectures for computer processors that may be customized for different situations. The original ARM1 featured a 32-bit internal structure but a 26-bit address space, limiting its main memory to 64 MB. This restriction was lifted with the ARMv3 series, which has a 32-bit address space, and numerous subsequent generations up to ARMv7 stayed 32-bit. It features about 32 pins, 28 of which may be utilized as general purpose bidirectional I/O pins. Pin P0. 31 is a single-output pin.
AMD- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is a global semiconductor firm headquartered in Santa Clara, California, that produces computer processors and related technologies for the commercial and consumer sectors. AMD unveils its Opteron and Athlon 64 processor lines, which are based on the AMD64 architecture, the first x86-based 64-bit CPU architecture.
Majority of population in India thinks that stock market is a gambling like casino. To be honest that’s not the reality.
Being in the stock market field for 1 year , I have realized that stock market is a far bigger concept that what normal people think it is. Even if you blindly invest in stocks of any company you are still speculatively investing and not gambling! The simple reason is that there is a sort of ownership here.
Investing in stocks involves careful analysis of company’s performance and future forecast. So as to own a handful of shares for some period of time, to claim trust on the products of the company, further gearing the economy.
as said by WILSON MIZNER : Gambling is the sure way of getting nothing from something.
When you gamble , you get to own nothing. You play with the available probabilities and are run by emotions or gut to chase a win.
Hence from this blog I just want to convey a message to all the readers that Investing in stocks is a gambling is a MYTH !!

“While I enjoy covering news stories– from business to politics to sports – what I enjoy most is capturing the human face of a breaking story.”
Danish Siddiqui was born on 19th May 1983 back in New Delhi and then went on to pursue his post-graduation in Mass Communication at A.J.K. Mass Communication Research Centre at Jamia. He was married to Rike(german nationalist) and had two children.
He had covered a plethora of stories and events after joining Reuters in 2010. Some of his exemplary work include the Battle of Mosul, the Rohingya Refugee Crisis and the Delhi riots of 2020. Not to forget the ‘one picture’ that shook the entire world of the mass cremation in India. His work had life and meaning in them. And to a great extent, this was what he had hoped for.
“I shoot for the common man who wants to see and feel a story from a place where he can’t be present himself.”
His heart and mind were always set on his mission and thus helped him achieve his objective.
He served as an embedded journalist with Afghan Special Forces to document the Taliban offensive in 2021. This was supposedly his last mission as he was killed while on the assignment covering the conflict between Afghan and Taliban when he was ambushed near the border of Pakistan. It is unclear about the death of others present.
In 2018 he was the first Indian to with the Pulitzer Prize in feature photography alongside Adan Abidi and few others. They were credited for their work in documenting the violence faced by Myanmar’s Rohingya community.
Have you guys ever heard about the 🦋 butterfly effect.
This theory is about how small changes effect the larger outcome.It describes how the occurrence of large events is due to the small changes or small events that occur.
This metaphor was created by Ray Bradbury in 1952 from a story called the sound of thunder.This story is about how a butterfly’s death in past could cause a very big and impactful change in the future
From Wikipedia
Butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.
We can observe small details in our nature and how those small things are affecting the whole new and big outcome that is destined to take place.
From:genengnews
Although this butterfly effect is used in terms of weather prediction and also it’s traces can be seen in lorenz’s computerized weather model but nothing could be proven as weather was impossible to predict due to this small instance of butterfly effect.
To prove this theory he used butterfly analogy
The concept is imagined with a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a typhoon but in real it’s flapping cannot cause a big typhoon but they act as catalyst that is they change the rate at which any act is taking place on starting conditions.
To make it more simpler when butterfly flaps its wings it causes an small atmospheric pressure which can cause changes in the typhoons trajectory but cannot create a typhoon
From researchgate.net
This butterfly concept is like an unknown variable in a complex theory where nothing can be predicted but assures us of it existence which cannot be explained simply.
Many script writers got inspired by this theory and many films were made based on it.
From:7tint.com
But isn’t fascinating that a minute thing is the reason that effects gigantic things , that is its small existence is a big part how the changes taking place in a big thing.
Science is simply the word we use to describe a method of organising our curiosity
Have anyone seen God in person? I think many of us would answer, No. But the right thing is everyone is seeing God daily in face of our mother. Yes, she is a unique gift, God had given to us. Am I right, now? In precise, she is the world’s precious gift which God have given to us. The feeling which we get when we are with our mother is the true divine feel that can be felt when we pray to God. None of us might say, I don’t like my mother, right? I can answer this myself. No one would say, I don’t like my mother. Though we don’t say anything to her, should would find what happened to us. And ask us what had happened. This is the divine feel of motherhood. Have you ever thought how things are hard to your mother?
The happiest feeling in this world is that a girl is carrying an another life in her. Yes, that feel cannot be bought buy money. Do you know how happy a mother would be when she is carrying her child in her uterus? Eventhough, she doesn’t know whether you are a boy or a girl, she had began to love you already. The only soul who loved you since the day you began to grow in her belly, is definitely your mother. She cannot eat the food she likes, or to lead her normal life. She lives in a dream world while she is carrying you. A survey says that the pain of childbirth is equal to jumping from the highest palce and even it is equal to the crushing of all the bones in your body. The pain we say that I was cheated by someone, hurt by someone, etc., can we say this pain is equal to the pain your mother endured during your birth? No. This labor pain cannot be expressed in words. A mother risk her life to give birth to her child and let him/her see this beautiful world. Everyone in the world can be selfish, greedy and picky but not our mom. She has never been greedy or selfish because she had you. After birth, she gives her blood as milk that’s been the food to us. No matter whatever heights we reach and whatever we do, this life and body is given by her. A mother would do anything to make her child feel happy and secure.
No matter how tired she is or how sick she is, the first word come from her mouth would be have you eaten? This shows that nothing matters more than you. Do you know how late she sleep and how early she wake up? Many don’t know, because they haven’t noted this! The next thing is giving the things that we want. If you want anything to eat, without any hesitation she make and give you, right? She doesn’t care whether she likes it or not!. She just want us to be happy and healthy. Sometimes, she used to eat the leftovers and sleep with a half-filled stomach. Mother is the one who teach us what is good and what is wrong in everything. She will correct the mistakes that we make.
After marriage, all the girls, you would be able to feel that motherhood is a gift to us. Yes, motherhood is the unique gift given by god to us. We feel sorry for the child without a mother and a mother without a child. Motherhood is same for everyone. Even the sterile women have the feeling of motherhood. So, stop judging women by their fertile or sterile nature. Let me ask you a quuestion. If your mother has gone out in the morning and haven’t been back to home for a day what would you do? Obivously, you would search for her right. This shows how you love your mother and how the bond between you two is! Think about a child without mother? Not having a mother is the only thing they would regret throughout their life. I hope you would have understood how mother is important in your life!
Don’t hurt or scold or argue with your mother for some silly things and don’t make her feel upset about it. Because there are children longing for mother’s love. Cherish this wonderful gift, God have given to you. Cherish your mom as high as you can. At last, Mom-the divine soul, this title suits this article right? God is in the face of your mother. Make you mother feel happy for you. Spare some time, talk to her. This would be the great gift that you give her.
“The White Tiger” (2008), a Man Booker Prize winner novel by Arvind Adiga is his debut novel.
Compelling, angry and darkly humorous. The White Tiger is an unexpected journey into a new journey into a new India. Adiga is a talent to watch.
-Mohsin Hamid
The story revolves around Balram Halwai- a self declared “self-made entrepreneur”, a rickshaw puller’s son who skillfully climbs India’s social ladder to become a chauffer and later a successful businessman.
The novel is in epistolary form. He writes from his office in Bengaluru to Chinese officer Premier wen Jiabo with the goal of telling him about India.
The novel’s specialty is the simple language used to describe complex political and social theories. Balram belongs to the village Laxmangarh or “Darkness”, as he names it. Throughout the novel, we get to see Balram’s perspective of rich and poor. He is the psychopath-anti hero who killed his employer Mr. Ashok. He justifies his actions in the whole process.
“You can take almost anything you hear about our country from the prime minister and turn it upside down and then you will have then you will have truth thing.”
Balram in his letter
The subtle statements arouse emotions of humour and also give the facts. The novel is written in the tradition of ‘expose writing’. This uses plots as a means to examine social institutions. Balram’s dark comic provides an ironic yet emotional edge to the work. Balram holds positive view of the caste system. He expresses a significant degree of nostalgia praising the orderliness. In his mind people were struck where they were and considered it as the natural state. So there was a general sense of satisfaction.
On this context he puts forward the theory of Rooster Coop. It is Balram’s metaphor for describing oppression of India’s poor class. Roosters in a coop watch the other get slaughtered, but are unwilling to rebel and break out of the coop. He actively argues that poor stop each other from escaping. Therefore the Rooster Coop is guarded from inside- thinks Balram.
Animal imagery is yet another humorous aspect to illustrate the flaws in social conditions. The four landlords who oppressed the villagers are namely The Stork, The Buffalo, The Raven and The Wild Boar. These landlords resemble the characteristics of respective animals. The other names are The Mongoose and Country Mouse.
And then, thanks to all the politicians in Delhi, on the fifteenth of August 1947, the day British left- the cages had been let open… Those were the hungriest, ferocious, had eaten everyone else up and grown big bellies.
The statement draws connection between the animals and how people of India live.

“Flower of Evil” – A Crime thriller Drama which is Cathartic too!
In general, it is observed that Thriller Genres are often very intense and have a serious environment in their background. But taking this particular drama, Flower of evil has broken the wall of the thriller genre and added the essence of Melodrama in it. The perfect blend of Emotions, thrill, suspense, elements of relationships, love story and nostalgia, and a little action make this drama a perfect 10/10 to watch.
As we can see that the ratings are 5.0 with lots of positive feedback, as this drama has certainly gotten a place in the heart of many drama lovers.
Amazing Plot structure:
Many times we see that though the storyline is fascinating the plot structure spoils the whole sequence of the story and makes the whole drama boring. Although this is not in the case of Flower of Evil, as the plot structure is incredible due to the excellent chemistry between Baek Hee Sung ( performed by Lee Joon Gi ) and Cha Ji won ( performed by Moon Chae Won ).
The plot becomes more interesting as it contains lots of twists and turns and make the viewers in a state of awe as every minute of the plot is important to watch or else one can miss the important key of the story.
Brief Synopsis of the Drama:
The storyline is about a man who has an anti-social disorder and changes his identity and lived as Mr. Baek Hee Sung who is the Husband of Ms. Cha Ji Won who is an Intelligent Detective. This lovely couple lived a beautiful life until Ms. Cha started to doubt his husband as the murder suspect of the sudden serial killings around their area.
Mr. Baek was a perfect father and Husband but lived a fake life by hiding his cruel past in which he lost his father ( Do Min – Seok) because of his father, Mr. Do was falsely known as the son of a serial killer.
But due to her wife, Ms. Cha, who cherished love in his life and made him a different person. She even investigated the 20-year-old case and brought justice to his husband by making him innocent in the case.
Flashback and Glimpse of Nostalgia – A Key Element
This drama always shows a series of Flashbacks at the beginning of every episode of the love story and the past life of the couple which is very touching. These Flashbacks make the audience aware of the background of the character development.
The characters are often living with the feeling of nostalgia as for some the nostalgia is sweet whereas for some it’s their dark past that is unforgettable.
These flashbacks also raise many queries in the minds of the audience who is the real killer? as all the characters are suspicious in their behavior which makes the audience blown out when they found out the real murderer!
Flower of Evil – An Alluring Title
When the scriptwriter ( Yoo Jung Hee ) of this Drama was interviewed she mentioned the unique quality of the title which is mesmerizing and also the key center of the whole drama.
“Flower of Evil”, has been taken from Charles Baudelaire’s “Book of poetry” called – “Les Fleurs du mal” ( The Flowers of Evil in English ). His poems were about the chaos and anxiety that arises when societal values, which should be clear-cut and black-and-white, become ambiguous and borderline.
Both couples are a symbol of the Flower of evil, as Baek Hee Sung is a character which cannot be considered good or evil rather he is like a flower of evil which is neither black nor red it is colorless, like the personality which the protagonist had.
Baek Hee Sung changed his personality from Do Hyun Soo to escape from the tragedy that happened to him in his past and to save her sister ( Do Hae Soo) who was the real culprit of the murder which happened 20 years ago in his life. Mr. Do had an Anti-social disorder due to which he didn’t feel any emotions, but due to her wife, he finally felt every emotion as he was accepted by her wife the way he was.
On the other hand, Ms. Cha Ji won is also considered as the Flower of Evil as she overcomes all the barriers which she had between herself and her husband and loved him eternally, transparently without judging his past life.
Symbol of the Metal shop – “Where the Rising Star stays”
The story behind the title of the Metal shop is moving for the audience when they watch this drama. The Metal Shop was the place where Mr. Baek was the Metal crafter and named his shop “Where the Rising Star stays” as the title denotes the story of Greek and Roman mythology, where there was a god of a blacksmith named Hephaestus who had a terrible anger issue, he had a wife whom he cherished very much and was named “Venus” in English and was known as “Morning star” which was nicknamed as “Rising star” which was relatable to the situation of Mr. Baek who cherished her wife very much.
Similar to Hephaestus, Mr. Baek had a personality that was not liked by anyone and that was the reason for him being anxious towards the judgmental society.
This drama kept the audience in a sense of emotional attachment as many incidents were sentimental. The ending is quite satisfying as all the characters were justified according to their will and their dreams.
To find your real self: Major Element of the drama
This drama also provides a moral message of finding your true self which sometimes hides due to certain circumstances created by life and in the end, the person goes back to their real self and wins all the obstacles made in my life.
Mr. Baek is one of them who proved that he was not a psychopath with fewer emotions rather he had the grief of not meeting her mother and hiding her sister’s murder and running from his real self.
This drama is a perfect bunch of all emotions and makes the story worth watching by the drama freaks!
“When Everyone else was becoming a demon, Only Hyun – so remained a Human Being”
Generally speaking, the level at which education is converted from services to businesses nowadays is a growing concern for society. Education can only be deduced to be way too commercialized by considering the pons and cons of its commercialization. Of course, education is way too much commercialized nowadays. Higher institutions nowadays see imparting knowledge as a means for economic ends(returns). Before further discussions, let’s take a glance at what “education” and “commercialization” are.
What is Education?
Education is the process of imparting, receiving or acquiring knowledge, skills, or ideas either formally or informally.
<
p style=”text-align: left”> What is Commercialization?
Commercialization in ordinary parlance simply means the application of the business methodology in any activity with an expectation of economic return. Commercialization of education refers to when an act of imparting, learning, and acquiring knowledge is perceived as a way of creating an enterprise to attain economic ends or returns(profit).
Naturally, education should be seen as a way of disseminating knowledge that will constitute job creation rather than to be seen as a mechanism for procuring a better standard of living by acquiring economic return. The commercialization of education has a serious effect that is so vague that it goes on undetected and one of its worrying aspects is that the interest of youths and the kind of education that brings out their full capability and potential is sidelined. Also, the global commercialization strategy of higher education has resulted in the creation of serious competition between the fruit-bearing capacities of education as opposed to its light-bearing quality. This adds to the notion that students are consumers of service for a very specific apparent purpose which is to gain access to a well-paying job hence, attain a high standard of living.
Furthermore, knowledge should be imparted to those who find it based on free will to promote the level of education in society rather than being used as a way of exploiting students by commercializing education to earn an economic return as it is done nowadays. Also, the fact that institutions and students both lives in a commercialized world nowadays makes every degree of teachings and learning no matter how small it is, valued based only on monetary terms instead of being valued on psychology term. That is the level of understanding.
Government should intervene by taking into consideration things that are yet to be done presently rather than doing things that have been laid hands on already thereby correcting the deficiencies of anomalies. They should carefully plan, improve financing and establish an empowering policy structure to make higher education equitable, accessible, and qualitative hence, redefining the role of the state in higher education.
The main reasons for the commercialization of education:-
1. Increasing population
Due to the increasing population in our country, the government is failing to accommodate the education of such a large number of people. This has led to the setting up of various private institutions.
2.The Mindest of People
It is the most common misconception among people is that good education is costly so most of them often prefer private schools and colleges over the government.
3.Better Facilities
The private institutes provide better facilities than the government institutes.
To conclude I would say education is also often portrayed as the method through which an individual can achieve success. Hence, there has been a rise in the demand for proper education. Because of this reason and a number of other reasons, education has started to become more commercialized. There are a number of ways through which education is commercialized these days. And some of those methods include setting up private schools, universities, coaching centers, and learning centers.
Conversation skills are very important and each conversation starts with a greeting. These greetings are mostly verbal. People exchange greetings everyday regardless of culture, age, gender and country. But in a situation, choosing a better greeting will show your improved communication skill and helps to have a good impression.
A greeting is a simple way of saying hello to someone. If two people of the same community are greeting each other, the process will be easy compared to people from different backgrounds greeting each other. Greeting a person means you are initiating a conversation with the person and It is important to be able to select the appropriate greeting for the situation. English language has different ways of greeting people. But greetings can be broadly classified in two sections of formal and informal greeting.
formal greeting
As we know, formal greetings are used in a formal conversation like in a business meeting or meeting a important person. These are also used while addressing the audience of formal functions like conferences. We use some of the formal greetings everyday. Good morning/afternoon/evening are used so frequently. These work as replacement for the word Hello. How do you do? is a old greeting but used in very formal situations. How are you doing? is the another form of the greeting. How is it going?, Good to see you, Its an honor to meet you are some of the other formal greetings.
informal greeting
This type has more number of greetings than the former type for obvious reasons because people have more informal conversations than formal ones. And also people face informal situations everyday. Hi, the word which is kind of informal version of the word Hello, widely used by everyone. We here this word very frequently. Hiya is the another form of the word Hi, mostly used in UK. Hey is another greeting which I feel is very upbeat. sup? is more commonly used in USA, which is the slang term for the word what’s up. Yo is the word mostly used because of its light heart feel. How’s life? is the informal way of asking how are you?. Howdy and how is everything? are also in the category.
How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!
-John Muir
why should i greet?
Why should I greet? Can`t I start a conversation without greeting? well, you can. But that will be weird. Just randomly starting conversations from nowhere will introduce confusions. To create a friendly environment you should choose a good greeting. It is a fact that greeting is also a gentleman and ladies gesture. A greeting can turn a stranger into a friend. And greeting also help to maintain relations. If a person refuses to greet the other, for some reason we all know that they are not in good terms. Greeting is a part of courtesy. It will help to show that you respect the person. When you greet someone you are acknowledging their presence and this will make the other person feel good.
Not for all other reasons, just greet to be good person!
Everyone says that love hurts. Indeed , this saying is true. Loneliness hurts, rejection is a pain and losing someone is truly depressing. In reality though, love is the only thing that could cover up all these suffering and make us feel whole again, but you’re scared to love again because you think it is going to hurt as you associate love with pain.

Franz Kafka, novelist and short story writer, is known for his often absurd, puzzling and parable-like writing style. Often described as kafkaesque, his writings leave readers on a never ending quest for underlying meanings that he might have intended to convey. In his short story A Hunger Artist, he leaves similar suggestions, that points to a broader picture of the unjust world he tries to portray through his novels. With the protagonist starving himself to earn a living and to believe that his suffering is an art that he is conditioned to do, stands as a silent validation to the socialist society that demarcates duties and lifestyles and pushes mankind to the two extremes of a spectrum. Marxist literary theory, a conflict theory that states that there exists a constant conflict in the society, between its two layers, the bourgeoisie and the proletariats or between the rich and the poor. This will be the perfect lens that we can adopt inorder to analyse Kafka’s work.
The story revolves around the central character, the hunger artist; a typical representative of the proletarians, starves himself inside a cage so as to entertain his spectators. This enclosed act wherein the protagonist confines himself in a cage and voluntarily starves himself under the authority of an impresario projects the image of a capitalist superpower exerting power, and the working class falling prey to the authoritative superior. The hunger artist sees his life as a performance that he is addicted to, he starves himself for his act. The extreme nature of the act shows how a particular strata of the society is forced to engage in gruesome tasks so as to sustain oneself. This portrays a typical capitalist society that makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. The rich exert their power over the working class, only with exploitative outcomes in mind. They reduce the workers into hands that mend money and get their work done. This causes a kind of alienation in such workers. This can be seen when the impresario, treats the hunger artist well on the fortieth day where he is forced to end his fast, the impresario has realized that after forty days the crowd starts to lose interest on the fasting muse, hence he takes away the artists right to fast even when he wishes to do so. Here we see how the artist fails to realise that the goal of his act is only to amaze the spectators which in turn make the impresario rich, he fails to realise this destiny of his act and only concentrates on the brief part he has to play in the big process of earning money for the impresario. The hunger artist, once his profession is no longer trendy, is left with no other work option; another striking feature of capitalism that makes the workers de-skilled leaving them incapable of doing anything other than the small part that they are conditioned to do. This small part that they do mechanically diminishes their status in the work chain, which eventually happens to the artist as well. When moved to a new working environment of the circus, with no profound change in the revenue he was creating, the artist is once again lost. He is forgotten and is later on discovered in a haystack minutes before he dies.
Here the cage that he is enclosed in constantly, can be seen as the capitalist box of entertainment, it confines the struggles and hardships of the working class and projects it as an entertainment for the bourgeoisie. It also shows the clear demarcation between the two classes existent in the society. The hunger artist stands as the metaphor for the struggling proletarians and the story is the most realistic portrayal of the existing class wars.
