The Special Fluid: Blood

By

This is no piece of fictional writing but for real, there is indeed a fluid that gives life, that can take away life, that can equally be a saviour too.

Going through the definitions of blood, dictionaries would describe it as the red liquid in the arteries and veins, circulating always within humans and animals. It makes up around eight percent of our body weight. It is the fluid that gives life.

One of my friends in Turkey sent me his younger brother’s picture. I told him that a cousin of mine looks similar to him. “He got Turkish blood too?”, he retorted.

To know what Turkish blood was or rather what makes the blood Turkish, I searched the dictionaries again. When I looked for Turkish blood, the dictionaries we’re out of results, zero results for Indian blood, and no results for Chinese blood either.

The dictionary does not categorise the blood as Indian, Turkish or Chinese, and yet we do.

There are numerous religious beliefs based on blood. I once told my grandmother that I will adopt a child when I earn fine. “You don’t know the child’s blood, he may be a terrorist when he grows up”. This was all she had to say to me. If the presence of blood can teach the child terrorism, then even my own child is fully capable of being a terrorist too.

Blood is a special fluid which gives us life. However, the significance that we attach to it to modify nationality and race, is very strange. When people of the “same” blood marry, they are capable of furthering the growth of human generation. When people of a “different” blood marry, they are equally capable of reproducing, but the outcome here is a beast. Are we still talking about the same fluid that gives life?

Blood is that fluid which gives us life and yet one can see so many killings in the name of blood.

Greed_by_Liol

Plants have no blood, surprisingly, but they provide fruits and vegetables to nourish all finely. I never saw plants labeling their fruits for animals or humans or for a particular animal or human. The nature is very innocent and more sensible with the absence of blood in it. The mother Earth itself has no blood in it, yet it shelters us all. And we think multiple times before helping anybody if the blood is “different”, forget about sheltering.

mother-earth

The blood has always been the same. Our mindset has changed considerably. The Earth is meant for all to stay. When the nature itself doesn’t differentiate the humans, then why must humans categorize everybody? We all belong to the human race, hence, we are one. The human nature is certainly not as great as the nature.

Brothers and sisters have “same” blood. I wonder if this is a condition mandatory to care or love one another. Family is not just about a group of people sharing a common ancestry or being related by blood. People who love each other despite their differences form a family too.

The Special Fluid: BloodOne should donate blood and save lives but one should not take away lives in the name of blood.

The Power of Seduction

Women’s Bodies as Weapons

Do you really feel women are weak? Well, I do not feel so. If you say that women cannot hold guns then you are again mistaken. The body which you often objectify is not powerless rather it is a weapon which can make you do whatever they like. Women are really mysterious but they give men a space to breathe but that does  not mean that, they are fragile and too elegant. If women start identifying their elegance as their weapon then men will not be able to fight it. So men, stop talking and boasting about your practicality and rationality because women are enough powerful to use their seduction against you and that’s how they will actually act practical to make you feel low. So, men should better give women a fair space and chance to represent themselves. Do not use biology to tell that women are not sharp and intelligent as they are enough intelligent to break men down without giving them any explanation.

780795-lolina-green-niky-macabre-red-seduction-women

The ideology of seduction is not about being promiscuous. It is not about making love but it is about using the sense of making love as weapon. Men used biology and women’s bodies to describe what they can do then women are far better off than men to use their bodies against men and turn the theory in their favour. People talk about being equal but can equality be achieved without understanding about what others want? Probably, men do not know what women want. So, it would be better to have a dialogue in both public and private sphere. Equality should not remain a word any more which is being adjusted with the word gender. If you deny women their rights , they will not sit quietly inside rather, they will find a way out for themselves and they should find a way to come out and voice their opinions.

Men should not assume that women cannot do anything. Rather, they should know the power of active and passive seduction which can be used against them ,applying their understanding of femininity. Yes! But men should not think that women are seductresses because they are the ones who are snatching away the rights of women. Women are forced to be dutiful in the name of relationship and women take responsibilities without having any kind of freedom. If women are ready to take responsibilities then they should be given the rights to be more responsible. No one knows what kind of assumptions do these ‘ manly rational minds ‘ make after thinking that they are enough good in business, mathematics, politics or science. Somehow, they try to prove that they are correct but sometimes their axioms or theorems are extremely stupid and they also apply their theorems in their social relationships, using their inductive reasoning, which may or may not be true.
Men should not forget that women too have their ideas and they are also living on this earth as humans even if they are not treated like one. Women should actively engage with men in various spheres to make sure that gender equality should be achieved, not only in dreams but in reality.

The politics of body is a very complex theory. Just defining active or passive seduction will not be enough but no one should deny that women’s bodies are powerful and if men tend to repeat the same mistakes by objectifying their bodies then women should  definitely use active and passive seduction as their defence mechanism without giving any further explanations.

Common mistakes we make while using English

English concept with smartphone
English concept with person holding a smartphone

Although English is just another language but it’s considered as one of the most beautiful and most spoken languages in the world and a single flaw can massacre its essence.
So here I present the common mistakes we make while using English.
1. Its vs it’s– There is a basic difference between the two. It’s is a substitute for ‘It is’ whereas its is used to denote something related to ‘it’.
For example:-
The machine is new but it’s defective.
The machine is new but its wires are defective.

its
2. There vs their– Again a pair of confused words. There is used to denote a place whereas their is used to denote anything related to someone or something.
For example:-
Mr. and Mrs. Aggarwal live there with their children.
3. Lose vs loose:- Though these words have similar pronunciation but their meanings are in no way related. Lose means when you no longer have something or someone. On the other hand, loose is the opposite of tight.
Example:- I might lose my job.
The dress she bought is very loose.

lose
4. Your vs you’re– The confusion is pretty similar to its vs it’s. You’re actually means you are and your indicates anything related to ‘you’.
Example:- You’re beautiful and so is your child.
5. Who’s vs whose– This is a very common mistake made by people as their meanings are almost the same. Basically, who’s stands for who is or who has whereas whose is a possessive pronoun.
Example:- Who is standing there?
Whose book is it?
6. Unsocial vs unsociable:- Although in the 19th century both these words were synonymous but with time their meanings have slightly changed. Unsocial is a temporary feeling of unwillingness to mingle with people whereas unsociable is a permanent character.
Example:- People these days are becoming unsocial.
Rikki’s unsociable nature made him unpopular.
7. Wrong way of introduction: Usually when we introduce ourselves we place our-self first but that is wrong. You should first mention the people associated with you and then take your name finally.
Example:- My family and I will attend the wedding. √
I and my family will attend the wedding. ×

intro
8. Revert vs reply: Nowadays our emails commonly end this way, “Kindly revert to our mail as soon as possible.” but this is wrong English. If you Google or check the dictionary, you will realize revert means going back. In no context, it is synonymous to reply.
Example:- Kindly reply as soon as possible.
I reverted to the previous homepage.

revert
9. Give exam vs take an exam:- It’s very funny that this is one of the most common mistakes which can be rectified using common sense. The one who will conduct the test is giving a test and the person who attempts it is taking the test.
Example:- The teacher will give a surprise test.
The students will take their half yearly exams today.
10. Unnecessary addition of preposition:- Words like discuss and return are not followed by prepositions.
Example:- I will return all your books.
We will discuss morphology of flowers today.
11. Then vs than:- Then is used to denote time. It is actually the past tense of now and than is used for comparison.
Example:- Then they had lunch.
I am smarter than my brother.

then
12. Prepone:– Though a lot of people will object when you will use the word prepone which means advancing things but don’t hesitate. You are right. Although the word prepone did not exist earlier but in 2011 it was added to the oxford dictionary.
13. May I vs Can I?– When you take permission, use the word may and when your inquiring whether you have the ability to do something, use the word can.
Example:- May I drink water?
Can I dance after the operation?
14. Did not do– After did not, never use past tense. You cannot place two words in past tense consecutively.
Example:- I did not bring my books. √
I did not brought my books. ×××

did not
15. On social media:– Yes you are on social media and not in it.
Example :- I am on Facebook. √√√
I am in Facebook ×××

Miskin Shah Baba Dargah a.k.a. PASSPORT BABA

Wishes, wishes and more wishes to be fulfilled.

Though a country of only 74.04% literacy rates, many Indians aspire to go abroad for a future settlement. But for many, this dream is never fulfilled because of passport issues. ‘Passport Baba’ has a solution to this problem.

Situated in the corner of the town of Jamshedpur, this 140 year old ‘Dargah’ is said to have fulfilled many wishes. People travel from all over the world or send a copy of their passport to get their visas cleared. Though many people do not believe in such super-natural forces, but this place has seen a large number of wishes getting fulfilled.

I recently visited this place with great reluctance. The great number of tombs present in the pathway gives it an eerie look. Sitting at the entrance of the mosque is Peer Mohammed, who said to have constructed it single-handedly. It is said, about 140 years back, Hazrat Miskin Shah Baba, a fakir, travelled all the way from Lahore to Jamshedpur. This was at a time when the town of Jamshedpur was not even formed. It was all jungle amidst the Dalma Range. He died here and his tomb stands between two huge banyan trees. These two trees act as the base where people pin up their wishes. Though most famous for catalysing the receiving of visas, today it is said to fulfill every wish from love stories to exam related issues and even cure illness.

Located behind Jamshedpur Public School in New Baridih area, this is one of the least known places to the town. Though a world famous site, very little is known by the people of the town about it.  My survey showed that only 15% of the Jamshedpur population knows about the Dargah. Honestly, when I first heard about it from my neighbour, I was quite cynical about the concept.  The initial atmosphere too made me freak out. But once I entered the Dargah, a chat with Peer Mohammed cleared my mind of all the pre-conceived notions.  He’s been building the Dargah mostly with his savings and the little donations that he receives from visitors. It’s a selfless service he has embarked upon towards Miskin Baba.

Not only can people come to this place to pin their wishes to the banyans, but can also courier a written copy of their wish. It will be pinned up by Peer Mohammed. Even though a lesser known site, the calm and pleasant atmosphere helps soothe the mind. A faith to fulfil wishes, the warm welcome of Peer Mohammed and the history of Passport Baba keeps attracting new visitors from all over the world.

People come here with a faint hope initially but find their wishes being fulfilled overtime

Autonomous Cars in INDIA

AUTOMATIC CAR

Indian roads with driverless and autonomous cars , less traffic jams , proper coordination on roads , less cases of road rage and less accidents(this is subjective) come to our minds but can this idea become a reality in near future.

Driver – less cars seem fantasy in India now and according to many experts it cannot be possible even in coming 2 decades, the possible reasons be the infrastructure.In India, we do not have infrastructure for normal cars, separate lanes for autonomous cars is not even possible. Moreover, market building requires time, India is a home to 400 road accidents deaths daily , and believing in driver-less cars requires courage and valour by Indians . I remember the scene from critically acclaimed tv series by H.BO SILLICON VALLEY when Jared was kidnapped by a self-driven car and was taken to a remote place. It was hilarious and scary as the same time.

AUTOMATIC CAR

Inspite of the impediments , in march,2016, Dr Roshy John developed a self-driving Tata Nano. Roshy who heads Robotics and Cognitive Systems at Tata Consultancy Services in Kerala and was inspired to build his autonomous Tata Nano five years ago when he booked a taxi at the airport to go home but found the taxi driver more exhausted than him. This is really inspiring but there is still long way to go . GOOGLE,Tesla, APPLE , Diamler are testing their autonomous cars from a time now. Legislation has been passed in four U.S. states and Washington, D.C. allowing driverless GOOGLE cars.

Tesla has introduced autopilot feature in beta version in their model S but the recent death in U.S.A. and car accident in china when the autopilot mode was on in the car pose a serious threat but the company stated the feature was used improperly and its clearly stated that you cant take your hands off the steering wheel even in autopilot mode. Recently , a customer gave full control to its tesla auto pilot and was comfortably reading newspaper in his car . All of a sudden the a white coloured truck came in front of tesla and auto pilot couldn’t detect that ! the car ran into that truck !! Company later stated that no one should be fully assured over auto pilot as it is under testing phase only.

googlecar

India’s market is rigid in terms of accepting technological change, many smart features have been introduced in the cars but their acceptance rate is really low because of mainly cost factors. Moreover, driver-less cars if to manufacture in India, seeing the recent promotion of manufacturing in INDIA, require pool of great thinkers, economists, scientists, resources and of-course money and research &development on large scale and the legal framework of India is so intricate and ease of doing business is so pathetic that its just a fantasy now.

On his first official visit to India,chief information officer of Daimler, Jan Brecht,in charge of IT innovation at the world’s biggest commercial vehicle manufacturer and the parent of Mercedes-Benz said in an interview with Hindu that running autonomous vehicles in India would be a challenge and an ultimate test and India is one of the toughest markets for this. The poor quality of roads , highly congested and over populated atmosphere , and a government that pays least attention to traffic safety , autonomous cars have very feeble hope for now ! Tesla testing phase is facing accidents and mishappenings even in well developed countries , so setting there foots in India wont be a easy task at all ! But yes , looking at the wide market of India , looking at our willingness to accept to new things will be tempting for these car companies to come and have there setups in india.
So we should not loose hope.
I have to start learning driving now !!!!!!!!!Maybe our coming generations , would not have to !

Tamasha, where ved meets his real self

Tamasha, where Ved meets his real self.

We all have been grown up watching movies of different genre and we also have somewhere lived in those stories. We relate ourselves to those fictional stories and start living in those moments because it’s somewhere makes u to dwell in your past experiences.

Tamasha is one of those movies which was not appreciated by critics much but some people who are little different from others in their concepts of life and their perspectives are somewhat out of the track could have related themselves with this story.
How the names of the protagonist were so symbolic, Ved and Tara(star) where Tara shows the right path to Ved like a star indicates a right path when one goes out of his track, as when he putts off the real face of himself aside and putts on the fake face which was bounded by social norms. Tara was the one who understands him deeply because she has met with his self and the other. Initially he was himself and enjoying his self when he first met Tara at Corsica. At that point of time Tara realize that this is the way of living and enjoying the life to the fullest.

At Corsica they both undisclosed their real identities and introduce their selves as the characters of other’s story. They live in the story of someone’s else story. Ved always wanted to become a story teller instead of engineer, which was imposed by his father. But he was bought up by listening to those stories from a story teller near his place at Shimla. From that tender age he starts living in stories of others and bring out his own story out of it. Engineering made him other from his self. Every single day at engineering college bites him like an ant and makes him hollow from inside.

At Corsica, Ved created his own imaginary story and start living in it. When Tara meets him, he pulled Tara also inside his story and they both were happy being in other’s world, which is different from theirs and where they can enjoy to the fullest without revealing their original identities but one day Tara
has to leave that place and go back to her actual world.

After Corsica, Tara met Ved in Delhi , where he lives alone and work in a corporate company and he was totally devoid of his self. It seems like that his self has actually lost somewhere and he was trying to find out his self. Some how he became the other of himself because now he was behaving and acting totally different from what he was initially. He restrained himself from living in someone’s else story and started living in his monotonous real life story. One day when Tara met him again and realized this drastic change in him she felt dejected. She observes each and every bit of his changed personality and rejects his proposal by saying that ‘She loved his self not his other’ and the one whom he met at Corsica and he hiding his self, answers in his other’s voice that

‘he’s the same person she met at Corsica’.
Tara helped him in tracing his actual path by staying with him being his strength. Ved has made himself so bounded by the societal norms and conditions and living a life of a robot, who actually has no emotions, desires, longings, passion. He became deaf to his desires and passion of becoming a story teller. He shuts all the windows of his heart through which beams of his self could reach.

One day , the said words of Tara starts jumbling in his mind, which says follow your self which keeps you lost in your imaginary world. At that point of time he realizes that from now he would follow his passion and meet his self again by leaving behind his other. His family who always wants him to become an engineer not a story teller. Ved when opens his heart in front of his family, at first they rebuke but then they realized and persuaded him to fulfill his passion.

Ved, at the end meets his real self and completes his own story of becoming a story teller and again re-living in those stories. He lives for living in those stories which were connected to him from his tender age. Every child is best in his own way, so always supports him in fulling his desires and don’t imposed anything on them.

Ved live as a free bird, who got wings to fly in his own world, the world full of stories and imagination.
Follow your heart, because it knows things which your mind can’t explain.

Augmented Reality in the Automobile Industry

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality (AR) has been taking over lives – quite literally. Think Pokémon Go and Back to The Future 2! Augmented reality blurs the lines between the real and virtual worlds by enhancing what we feel, see, hear and even smell. AR adds graphics, sounds and haptic (touch) feedback to the real world as it exists, thereby enhancing our experience and changing the way we see the world. In Back to The Future II, we saw Marty Mc Fly being scared out of his wits by an AR Jaws 17 trailer. Pokémon Go makes use of your smartphone’s camera to show you the Pokémon that are present in your vicinity.

AR has applications not merely in just movie fantasies or video games – it is constantly evolving and has applications in various fields like education, literature, navigation, architecture, automobiles and even military. Some of the familiar AR products include Google Glass and Sony Smart Eye Glass, which like many other hi-tech gadgets of the day, uses Internet of Things for their operation. In the above case, a privately held company called the Crowd Optic Inc., holds the patented solution for these wearable marvels. Crowd Optic is best known for their mobile technology that gathers and analyzes data from smartphone cameras, based on where they are pointed, to identify areas of high interest. Numerous technologies are being developed to bring AR into Virtual Retinal Displays and contact lenses.

Augmented Reality

AR in the automobile industry has immense potential and its use is growing day by day. AR is used almost in all stages, right from assembly to sales and even repair and service. With just a smartphone or a tab, the entire process from the building of the automobile to the sales is streamlined and efficient. AR can also help people service their own cars or bikes without any other help, thanks to evolving technology. Don’t know where the carburetor is? No problem! Just whip out your smartphone or tab and it will guide you through the repair procedure.

Various automotive industry giants use AR as part of their building process. Ford Motor Company uses virtual reality to design cars before it makes a physical prototype. In Ford’s Immersion Lab, designers can use an Oculus Rift to walk around the car and even sit inside of it to get an early idea of what the customer experience would be. Lexus even created a driving simulator in 2014. BMW service engineers wear head-mounted displays whilst working on cars and augmented reality projections instruct them how to proceed and what tools to use. German auto-maker Volkswagen recently launched an app for its luxury brand Audi that allows consumers to experience this AR-based test drive, without actually being close to the automobile. In the same vein, the bulky owner’s manual of the Audi A3 has been replaced with an enhanced, interactive AR app that familiarizes the user with the interior of the car, just by pointing the user’s mobile device camera at different parts.

As of October 2015, the auto industry held its first conference focusing specifically on the use of augmented reality in auto making, which covered how AR can be used across the board from production to sales.

Today, car manufacturers are looking to enhance safety and personalize and augment the driving experience by building AR technology into newer car models.

AR-based ‘Heads-up Displays’ (HUDs)

AR-based ‘Heads-up Displays’ (HUDs) are transforming automobile windscreens into large computer screens, non-intrusively displaying travel information—navigation indications, vehicle speed, weather information, live traffic data, and even collision warnings—directly in the driver’s line of vision.

Augmented Reality

Further, to make the drive more engaging, in-car AR systems highlight popular landmarks, restaurants, and shops as one drives past them. The driver’s social media feeds are also displayed in a manner that is least distracting.

To enhance safety, car makers developing AR systems also lean towards integrating gesture and voice recognition—for example, an incoming caller’s face pops up on the windscreen allowing drivers to accept or reject calls with a swipe of their hand or a voice command, without reaching for their mobile phones.

Certain augmented reality concepts will, soon, even allow drivers to “see through” vehicles in front of them by allowing vehicles to wirelessly connect with each other. This AR system, once further developed, can be especially effective in situations when a smaller car needs to overtake a larger vehicle on narrow roads.

While all of these concepts and applications sound amazing, they are not without drawbacks. AR relies heavily upon the internet and is very closely connected to a concept called Internet of Things (IoT). This means that AR does not function very well in places with poor connectivity or in adverse weather conditions. It also means that there are very less chances of it becoming and offline application too.

Well, there are two sides to every coin! What do you think about this amazing feature?

WWE

One is the Apex Predator, the other is The Beast. One is the Third Generation Superstar, the other is WWE Champion, UFC Champion and NCAA world heavyweight champion. And this summer, the heat will rise when ” The Viper” Randy Orton takes on “The Beast” Brock Lesnar in Summerslam.

The match is surely gonna be a ” way-too-heated-dual”. Even online polls are carried out on who will have the final word when these two superstars collide in Summerslam. Randy Orton has just returned to WWE after he injured his shoulder in November last year. This will be his first match since his return. Brock Lesnar, on the other hand, has recently defeated Mark Hunt in UFC 210 and is riding high on his success.

The last time these two superstars faced each other in the ring was in 2002 when both were still rookies and had made an impact on WWE. Lesnar defeated Orton when he was still the WWE champion. Almost 15 years later, now, Randy Orton is 12 time WWE champion while Lesnar, has 3 different championship tags on his name and is a well know name in Sports and Entertainment.

WWE2

Lesnar has a reputation when it comes to big events like Wrestlemania where he ended Undertaker’s winning streak. Also, he beat Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose last year in a triple threat match last year.
Orton, is seeing this match as a ” lucky draw” to set himself up as WWE’s ” Apex Predator” again.

Randy Orton was on RAW this Monday. It was unexpected for the viewers when he took the mic and marched in the ring. Orton made it clear that “he deeply respect The Beast for his strength and power”, but made it clear that Lesnar has ” survived ” as he hasn’t faced The Viper yet.

Brock, in an official interview with WWE.com said that The Viper has proved his metal by defeating some big guns of WWE, but, mentioned that his “street smart tricks” is of no match to The Beast’s brutality and force. The flame got more fire during the latest WWE pickup event where RAW CEO Stephanie Macmahon picked up Brock Lesnar and SmackDown CEO Shane MacMahon choose Randy Orton claiming Orton to be the ” better choice “.

But its not just records and strength that woes the fans. It is their attitude and mental strength which keeps the two iconic superstars miles away from each other. Brock is said to be aggressive, brutal,no-hold-bars fighter. Orton, on the other side, has dark,sinister, tactical brain and its his strategies and remorse aggression that make him lethally invaluable against his opponents. Coming out openly in RAW and mocking Lesnar was a well planned strategy to irritate Lesnar which provoked him to attack openly on Orton in Smackdown Live.

And not just the fans, but the officials too are curious for the event. It is rumoured that WWE don’t want to take any chances when these two surperstars face each other and will only allow Orton to go in the ring when he is 100% fit to fight. So, Brooklyn is all set and its just a matter of time now when we know whether its going to be THE RKO or the Supplex City.
