Your work is your definition

Vaishali Singh (Cheenu Singh Rathore)

Your work is your identity, your work is everything.

I want to tell you that, your work ethics, the way you work is everything, a person is only identified by his or her actions, the things he or she has done, the values he or she has given to the society.

Life is like an illusion, no one has discovered the real meaning of life yet. We don’t even know why the God has created this world, and what is the purpose of life, but one thing I have observed so far is that your words are imperishable even after life, people will remember you by your work ethics by the values you have given to them, by the words you’ve spoken out, and it’s explicit that no matter how intelligent you’re unless you haven’t done anything no one would value your sayings.

A person is not identified by the cast he or she has born in, not by the amount of money he or she earns, not by the brands he or she wears, not by the phone he or she uses, a person is identified by his or her karmas only. There is no scale to measure one’s intelligence, like you can’t judge somebody’s intelligence based upon his or her English speaking skills, language is just a medium of conveying feelings or nothing else.

Now, I am sharing 2 examples down below to convey my message:-

(I) A.P.J. Abdul Kalam :- We always remember him as Missile Man of India, for his work and development of ballistic missile, as a visionary, a hardworking, a pragmatist, a great leader and as a person who has influenced the life of many. We never remember him by his cast, by his face, by the car he used to drive, or by the brand he used to wear.

Let’s take another example of an extremely popular writer named Premchand, he was famous for his modern Hindi- Urdu literature. He is one of the most honoured writer of the Indian subcontinent, and regarded as one of the foremost Hindi writers of early 20th century. Premchand’s writing are very famous till date, as you have definitely read some of his stories in your textbooks, many of the directors filmed Premchand’s stories as series and aired them on television. For your ease let me tell you that he was a very simple man, he never had the most expensive clothes, and a writer named Harishankar Parsai wrote a story named “Premchand ke phate joote” / Premchand’s torn shoes” about him, that story was an irony on Premchand, in which Harishankar Parsai wrote that Premchand was a very grounded and simple man, in the story Harishankar Parsai highlighted Premchand’s personality in a way as he wanted to show that Premchand wasn’t an ostentatious person, in simple words he wasn’t a show off favourite person. Once he got clicked a picture with his wife and in that picture his shoes were torn out, and the writer used that incident as the story he plotted as PREMCHAND’S TORN SHOES, eventhough he didn’t supported him if you will read it in depth you would understand that it was an ironical story, anyway I don’t want to bother you much about Premchand and Harishankar Parsai but my motive of stating it here was to make you understand that your personality builds with your work not with your dressing sense or the things and the stuff you have.

The world will never remember you by the things and stuff you have, people will always remember you by the work you’ve done. – Vaishali Singh.

Vaishali Singh

Photography is one of the major things of everyone’s life today,

All of us want to freeze the moments we live day to day in a photograph, the new developing technology has made it very easier for people to document their lives easily through photographs and videos and the advancements in technology helps you to put your documented photographs or videos on the platforms like YouTube, Instagram etc. and build your career out of it but the question is how to get started? Now, basically if you want to get started with photography then you do not need a professional degree or course the only thing you need are skills and that’s it but if you’ll do a course or major in photography or cinematography then it will help your chances of getting jobs in the Multi national companies, but if you want to make a career out of blogging vlogging youtubing or photographer then a degree is not a compulsion, what important is teaching yourself about the principles of capturing an image and the lighting conditions and then just go out start practising in real world, now you can learn everything by yourself but it takes time to develop a skill, what’s more important in photography is light.

The word “Photography” itself depicts the meaning as drawing using light. The word photography is made of two words PHOTO and GRAPHEIN where Photo means light and Graphein means to draw.

So, light plays the major role in photography,  after learning the basic principles of photography and light the practising comes into play.

Now, the answer of the question how to get started is very simple just start practising right away, reach out to people, at the earlier stage do the unpaid shoots then build your profile, work as an intern and gain experiences overtime after building your name you can start to earn money through photography and can begin your own photography career.

Vaishali Singh

Social media is creating a sense of competence in people’s mind, and this competition is making people ungrounded, it’s becoming the major reason of mental crisis these days, amidst this pandemic COVID- 19 outbreak people are not engaged in more productive tasks and in order to utilize their energy and satisfy the curiosity of exploring life they prefer to log in to the social media applications and wasting all their time scrolling their mobile phone’s screens endlessly, but have you thought of the consequences of using of these useless mobile applications which are distracting you from doing the necessary tasks and making you lazy and feel unproductive. The way social media is affecting your mindset is horrible, the moment you wake up, you take up your cell phone, and keep checking the notifications you’ve received overnight, which is highly unhealthy for your mental health, social media is making you more like a robot and your cell phones are becoming your masters, you just keep following the notifications you receive whole the day, the over usage of social media affects your sub conscious mind and your sub conscious plays the major role in shaping up your thoughts and mindset, which is directly proportional to the actions you take to acheive your dreams, but it’s over usage tires your brain and reduces your chances of executing the important work tasks. So, this is how your cell phones are becoming the reason behind your failure, but you’ve probably heard that every coin has two faces similarly it’s up to you that how you use something whether it’s your cell phone, the internet access you have or your social media account, if you use it to fulfil your purpose, to acknowledge yourself, to educate yourself, to fulfill your dreams then it can play the role of BOON in your life but if you use that same cell phone, that same social media just for passing the time, reading the memes, reacting on the posts endlessly, watching the comedy videos, in simple words, (seeking the temporary pleasure) instead of utilising your time in executing the important tasks, then it can become the BANE of your life. You won’t realise it today, you will notice the outcomes of your actions overtime and only then when you’ll notice your actions keenly. Now, while reading this blog post a question would definitely arise in your mind and that is, what can you do to prevent your life from getting controlled by the social media, the answer is very simple it’s impossible to change your life overnight, but the continuous efforts you put overtime can help you to change your life for better, now you have to make a proper schedule and would have to set a goal for yourself that will keep you motivated, just uninstall the unnecessary applications and data from your mobile phone, and start working on the path of your dreams right away.

Product dupes/counterfeit products are doing the rounds in the market, they are available at cheap prices and are sold by squatters and illegal traders, they can be found at every other corner of the city and are even found online, they can be harmful to our health and many of us are obsessed with buying such products. Be it cosmetics, hand bags, watches or even clothes. An awareness surrounding this topic is necessary along with the precaution to stop the cycle of fake products in the market.

Cosmetic products–

You can easily find thousands of bad quality dupes available online or in stores and they have the most disgusting and ghastly chemical used to make them, they can damage your skin cause irritations and even allergies. Just because they are available at a cheap prices we are lured into buying them. Be it nail polishes, lipsticks or even eye makeup. Most of them contain toxic resins, glues and even fake colours which can harm us.

                         

Handbags and purses–

They are found online and even in many tiny markets or flea markets, one can differentiate between a branded handbag and a fake handbag based on the quality of the leather or material or the straps and even the interior of the bag, even the sloppy stitching, the weight of the bag and the lock of the purse or bag can give one an idea about its brand.

                 

Shoes/Footwear–

Many of these small stores or markets sell fake shoes and there are many factories and business which mint a lot of money, the quality is quite bad and by the weight of the shoe and the shoelaces one can easily figure out if its fake or real, There are many online sites which actually sell fake shoes at whole sale prices and most of the markets in south Asia harbour this business along with the production of fake shoes.

Clothing–

This is one of the biggest market which mints a huge amount of money, and its present all over the world, even though people are aware about the fake products, they still go ahead and buy the fake clothing as it available at a cheap price and is in trend. Many of us really don’t need a reason to shop. By checking the stitching on the cloth/clothing products one can identify if it real or counterfeit, even the zipper of the real product be it a jacket or a pair of jeans should move easily. Mostly the buttons of the branded products would have the signature logo name or design on it. The fabric would be of a good quality.

Accessories–

Watches, goggles or sun glasses can also be counterfeit, it’s very important that one checks the durability of the product along with the warranty as well as the price and, in case of watches on one needs to check behind the dial to see the embossed logo and also to check the strap and the documents guaranteeing the originality, in case of sunglasses it better if bought from the brand store itself, if buying online one needs to be very cautious.

It’s mostly the road side sellers and other mini markets which tend to sell counterfeit products and even on online e-commerce sites one should check the reviews, the seller, the description of the product and also the number of buyers to be sure if its real or not. Hence one needs to be careful before buying products.
