Politics: A part of our lives or life itself?

The much awaited 2019 is here, and just as we all must have expected, we are surrounded and submerged by political discussions everyday and everywhere! Not just the news and media where they should ideally be confined to, the discussions have spilled onto our WhatsApp groups and social media profiles as well. I am sure many of us put a lot of quotient of our energies, trying to justify our point of views and defending the leader we support. A small twist and we go on and on, a policy change and we start debating again, it indeed is like an endless saga. Isn’t it? But why do we forget, that just like many other things that surround us, politics too is just another thing?

By indulging in more than required levels in these debates and discussions that surround politics, we not only lose a significant quotient of our energies but also create and spread many ripples of negativity in our surroundings. It’s unfortunate to see that the verbal wars that we witness over the terms of our differences in opinions, gets big and takes the shape of deteriorated interpersonal relationships. It’s absolutely mandatory to know politics, to know our candidates and to know their work; and it’s extremely important to support them and vote for them on the basis of the work they do at the time of elections. For the rest of the time lets save our energies for our own work. Why do we forget that it’s we the people who make the nation? By dividing ourselves and initiating such tug of wars we create an unfortunate situation where one side wins and the other side loses, but why do we forget that as a nation our only focus should be to create a win-win situation! A situation where we all should do our duties right, respect each other’s opinions, and win together for the country. Let’s remember that it’s not only the leaders we select that bring about good changes, but such changes can also be brought about by doing our work right in our own orbits. Very small examples to this can be, keeping a check on the cleanliness of our little surroundings, following the traffic rules for own safety, and doing our job with complete honesty for the benefits of those who are associated with us. We are an alarming population of more than a hundred and thirty crores, but looking at the brighter side of it this huge alarming number comes with a lot of strength if put together! A hundred and thirty crores can create wonders, isn’t it?
In this vast world, it’s impossible to have a unanimous opinion; we all have our unique identities and thought process. But the only way to stay in harmony along with each other despite our difference in opinions is by realizing how little these differences are in front of the bigger picture which is life itself. Our beautiful country has been existing since times much before us and will continue to exist for times much after us as well, for the short duration that we are here, let’s do whatever little good we can. Let’s focus on spreading more harmony than endless bitterness.

And of course, as a rightful citizen, do your research on politics right, register yourself in the voter's list and do not forget to cast your vote for the candidate you support.

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...
