A small little reality check! :)

It was in between when I had got tired of sitting in my ac room and browsing the internet that I got out of my room and happened to peep out of the window, where apparently there are vegetable vendors. I looked at a child, ya child because he looked like he was still in his teenage counting some money sitting on a mat where he had laid his vegetables. He sits there every day I have noticed from some 10am in the morning till I guess a ten in the night to earn whatever little he does throughout the day in the blazing UP sun to just earn a living when other children of his age may be cribbing about not having the latest phone, or may not having too many likes for some random post on facebook.. I mean because that’s what probably a rich persons teenager problems are now a days. And why blame them look at me how different was I myself I thought, thinking all day when will my result come, thinking weather I ll get the job I want, and what to watch on the TV !! I felt like a waste when I actually thought I hardly appreciate what I have around, I hardly utilize what I have been given. And this young boy even in any part of the day I hardly ever saw him upset, he’s always smiling, teasing other vendors, commenting on passer bys or in short happy in what he has around.

I guess we who have these basic life privileges of a good food, good education and good money should understand our responsibilities better that we carry for the under privileged, we should utilize our privileges well instead of cribbing, and wasting them if so we can do so much, for both staying happier ourselves and ya for doing something for those who may never get as many privileges as us!

Ranveer Allahbadia is just the tip of the iceberg! #digitalworld

  In a recent incident, popular podcaster and YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia faced widespread criticism for making an inappropriate remark that was deemed unacceptable by many. Thank God for that, or else we are now a society where everything under the sun is rather normalised. I wouldn’t repeat the remark here, I can’t, it's out of my scope to write anything like that. Anyway, after that so-called remark on a show run by a popular comedian, Samay Raina was aired and shared, the internet was set on fire. I casually opened my Twitter on Sunday and was taken aback by the clip which was being circulated. It looked something like this: Some people, popular in the world of the internet sitting on a panel and roasting a contestant that stood in front of them. A highly vulgar remark was made by Ranveer, and the rest of the panel members along with the audience joined in laughter and applause. ‘Ah! Isn’t all this becoming rather common nowadays!’ was my first reaction, following which ...

A drive into the Himalayas

Well, the last week of December is as festive as it can get for anybody and everybody. It’s a week that calls for some year-end celebrations, get together’s and travel. I wanted to plan something for that week since eternity but my usual attitude to push every work till the last moment, made me plan absolutely nothing till almost the 20 th of December! It was on the 20 th that it struck me that we needed to book tickets to travel, and of course, we needed to book a hotel to stay. Various places within the country, including popular destinations like Goa, were packed and out of budget for us. There were two options that we were left with; 1) stay back home and crib 2) explore something that we never explored before. After a series of discussions, we came to a common conclusion to travel to Pokhara city in Nepal. I tried searching a lot to get some details about the roads, the recommended route etc but couldn’t get any detailed post and thus I was certain to post a blog on it. ...

Can we expect Real Growth, from Intelligence that’s Artificial?

Technology has changed so much around us in the past few years, isn’t it? From getting miraculously connected to each other through phones, we have grown multifold since the time mobiles were first introduced. Internet, international connectivity, google search, and social media, we seem to have travelled ahead at the speed of light. While many of us were still adapting to all of this, a big word- artificial intelligence started circulating. Intelligence and artificial, look like two opposite words that have been joined together , is what came to my mind when I first heard about it. Before I could know, this technology, now popular as AI had already infiltrated many apps and websites. Someone asked me if I use ChatGPT, and I got partially shocked to discover what it was. In between all this lately, there was another popular news that mentioned how an MIT graduate had invented a device that could read your mind. He mentioned how it could google questions within your mind and order a p...
