For making masala corn in 3 flavors

Boiled Corn kernels
  • Firstly, will prepare the corn kernels for making the masala corn. Take a deep bottom pan, fill with water, and place it over a high flame. Boil the water for a few minutes.
  • Now, add fresh corn kernels to the boiling water. Let it boil well until the kernels soften a bit. Add a pinch of turmeric powder to it. Do not add it more otherwise the color of the corn kernels would change to reddish, and will not look that appealing.
  • Next, add ½ teaspoon of sugar to it. Don’t skip this as it will balance all the flavors. Whenever we boil sweet corns, then you must have noticed that the corn kernels fade a bit. That is the reason for adding a pinch of Haldi to it so that the steamed kernels retain its color. And the addition of sugar preserves the natural sweetness of the kernels. 
  • Boil the corn kernels by stirring it in between by keeping the flame in high. It will take max 8-10 mins to boil on high flame. You will notice that the warm yellowish color of the corn has been retained wholly. Even the small kernels have been bloated up perfectly, and this is the indication that your corn kernels have been prepared properly.
  • After 10 mins, strain the water and add the steamed corn kernels in a fresh bowl.
  • Our corn kernels are ready to be mixed with the 3 delicious, tempting seasonings.

Class of 83

The movie, Class of ’83 is a Netflix Original Film, released on August 21, 2020. Red Chillies Entertainment (Gauri Khan, Shah Rukh Khan) is the producer and Atul Sabharwal is the director of the film.

Additional Fact: After Betaal and Bard of Blood, Class of ’83 is Netflix’s third collaboration with Red Chillies Entertainment.

Moreover, the film is based on the Book “The Class of 83” by Sayyed Yunus Hussain Zaidi. The book is based on Pradeep Sharma, a famous officer of Mumbai Encounter Squad.

Class of '83: An Indian Crime-Drama Film of Netflix!

NO SPOILERS

Firstly, it is going to be an exciting movie because of Bobby Deol’s return after several years. Secondly, this engaging cop-drama is quite a new theme for the lead actor! After all, we have seen him go all Yamla Pagla Deewana and say, “Arre jab Dharmendra aur Sunny Deol lad rahe hai … toh Bobby Deol kya karega”. But, never seen him as a dutiful cop.

Here is some information about the movie, “Class of ’83” if you are planning to watch or have just watched it!

Bobby Deol’s Comeback

Even before the release of the film, there was a huge talk about Bobby Deol’s comeback to the industry, he has almost given twenty-five years to. There are many reasons of this hype. Firstly, his acting and movies have mainly focused on genres like romance or comedy. So, this film is not like other main-stream Bollywood Dramas!

Secondly, it is after long that he is going to be presenting in front of the audience. He appeared in “Housefull 4” (2019) and “Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se” (2018), the last time. In addition, this is his digital debut! In other words, it will be the first time we will be seeing his latest performance on an online-streaming platform.

The film is focused on a character’s life, “Vijay Singh” who is an honest cop. Bobby Deol plays the role of the protagonist which he even, termed as something very new for him. In other words, we get a chance to see him in an entirely different character with a very serious and dutiful role.

He plays the role of a cop and a dean. “Vijay Singh” is very committed person towards his work. Moreover, he is a husband and a father, as well. This character has the limelight throughout and deals with certain different aspects of his life. He acts as a mentor, as well. The portrayal of character in the film is a dedicated and a sincere one.

Above all, he has given many years to the film industry and now coming up with something new is quite challenging. Therefore, it can turn out to be as a huge success or a down fall.

So, the question that arises is: Is this going to be an impressive comeback or not?

The Cadets in the film

For the ones, who do not know who Cadets are, here is the meaning:

“A cadet is a young man or woman who is being trained in the armed services or the police.”

The cadets had a very important role in the film. Dean Vijay Singh mentors five of them. The characters of cadets were, “Shukla” (Bhupendra Jadawat), “Varde” (Hitesh Bhojraj), “Aslam” (Sameer Paranjape), “Jadhav” (Ninad Mahajani) and “Surve” (Prithvik Pratap).

“Most Difficult THING to cast for this film were the cadets because we went rounds and rounds…” -DIRECTOR OF THE FILM.

(SOURCE)

The roles of the characters were side-roles yet very important and engaging. In a general sense, they were portrayed as learners and as, encounter cops. The film revolves around how they play their assigned tasks and duties.

The Plot of the film

This 98 minutes long film revolves around the genres; Drama and Crime. The movie is one of those cop dramas that throw light on duties and commitments. In addition to this, it has many strong and powerful dialogues. These dialogues enhance the seriousness of the characters, especially of, “Vijay Singh”. For instance:

 “ Sometimes to maintain order, one needs to break The law”

The film revolves around some sub-themes like relationships and tragedies. It is about a man who was a cop but then, gets punished. After that, he works as a dean in an academy (Police Academy) to train the Cadets. The batch is the one that passed out in ’83. In addition, he looks out for young talent among them and starts grooming them. He mentors them to make them capable of fighting against the corrupted systems. He selects five trainees and polishes them well. He takes their charge so that the fight against the evil allies can be won.

It is more like a personal fight and mission for him. it can be proved through many scenes, for instance;

He says, ” I want to give one more shot”

He is asked, “to all five?”

and, he says, “to myself”

Moreover, the film also portrays the fight of “Vijay Singh” and the Cadets against complexities of honour, values and morals. In addition, it also has many action elements with all the cop drama involved! It has many intense action scenes (Don’t miss them out)!

Apart from this, as the real set-up, the film is portrayed to be in the 80’s and 90’s.

OVERALL,

It is not a main-stream Bollywood Drama Film. For the first time, it can turn out to be engaging to see Bobby Deol in such a role. He even posted on social media that, “Playing Dean Vijay Singh was an experience like never before. Class Of ’83 coming soon on Netflix…”

However, it is not all happy-go-lucky movie, it takes a twists turn too (no spoilers this is up to you to check!). Do watch the movie once and check if “Vijay Singh” is able to fulfill his purpose or faces failure…

The Top Five Antivirus Softwares To Use Right Now

With technology advancing so fast every day, security is of the essence. We have cybercrimes outpacing the speed of crimes in actual life these days. The amount of hackers seeking to acquire and wrongfully use your personal information for crimes has increased over the years by an enormous magnitude. And the pandemic has only seen these type of attacks increase. It’s time that we take our cyber safety in our own hands and take the necessary precautions.

And the best way to take these precautions is to install a handy antivirus software into your operating system. Antiviral software is abundant on the internet these days, and it is difficult to sift through all of them to choose the right one. Well, we are here to help. Here are the top ten antivirus software for your system right now.

Bitdefender

The best antivirus of 2020, Bitdefender is an antivirus that does everything. It works for both Windows and Mac devices and is quite versatile in its functionality. While Bitdefender is not free, it is also not expensive. Coming for around 25 dollars for a year, Bitdefender has enough features to redeem the cost it is marketed at. Some of the best are as follows. Bitdefender has safe pay banking protection, making sure that anytime you bank from your laptop or mobile, your data is protected. Bitdefender also has a built-in VPN for you to browse websites regardless of location.

Bitdefender doesn’t really have any shortcomings, as such. However, something worth mentioning is that Bitdefender uses more system resource than it’s rivals. It features such as parental controls, spam filters and the mandatory firewall, which makes it the best software for communal computer systems.

Norton

The next in our list is the Norton Antivirus. Again, Norton is compatible with both Windows and Mac Operating systems. Each license that you purchase is applicable for only one device, which is common for most paid software. Norton is almost up there with Bitdefender. It only lacks certain features such as the inbuilt VPN.

Norton has an intelligent firewall, has additional PC maintenance features. It also bundles up as a tool for safe and secure online storage. One place where Norton wins against Bitdefender is that it has an almost minimal impact on PC resources. It is a brilliant software and provides a secure browsing experience. Norton is not a single simple software for everyone. It has additional features in editions for experts.

Some parts of Norton that didn’t sit well with us were the interface and anti-ransomware attacks. An unimpressive interface can ruin the best of software perusal experiences. And that is precisely what happens upon using Norton. When launching the anti-ransomware testing, we had to release a custom made threat to the software. And though it did end up protecting the operating system, it wasn’t before a few files got lost to the virus.

Kaspersky

Unlike the previous antiviruses in the list, Kapersky is built only for Windows devices. Kaspersky is an entry-level package, and one license protects up to five Windows PCs. Kaspersky does the basics of protection; that is, it focuses on the fundamental security essentials. Unlike Bitdefender or Norton, Kaspersky doesn’t have a massive list of features.

However, it gets the job done. Its feature of extending past the one device is probably why it costs more than Bitdefender and the others. A plus point is that despite having only the most essential features of antivirus software, Kaspersky embodies the best of these features.

kaspersky

Kaspersky has just the one shortcoming: it does not have the additional features present in other antiviral software. It does make up for it in its quality, but we still would like to see more. It is also quite expensive, and if you do not have five gadgets with windows os, it is redundant. You will also only get internet protection with Kapersky’s higher-tier packages which have additional costs. All in all, Kaspersky is an excellent software to purchase, but there are better ones out there.

Trend Micro Antivirus

Somewhat like Kaspersky, Trend Micro Antivirus is a simple, basic yet extremely effective software antivirus. It also employs only the most basic features but has many redeeming qualities to it which put it in our list. Trend Micro Antivirus is a Windows-only antivirus software and extends its uses to a maximum of one device only. It has the basic features and the antivirus engine is a quality affair.

The reason why Trend Micro Antivirus is listed fourth in our ranking is that while it’s functionality rivals that of Kaspersky, it has more shortcomings than the former. It is simple antivirus software. However, it is also available only for Windows PCs and for only one device for one purchase. Additionally, Trend Micro Internet Security is a resource hog. However, this situation is improving with the latest updates adopted by the software.

Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus

We should be giving this an up-there ranking because Webroot is really one of the go-to antivirus software out there. Coming at only 20 dollars for a year, Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus is exactly the kind of cheap, no-nonsense investment you should be making for your device. Webroot is available for both Windows and Mac operating systems. On top of its multifunctionality, one purchase allows access of the license and software on at least three devices. This software is considered lightweight to the others, but it really delivers on all the features it promises. It uses only a measly 15 MB and the installation takes only minutes.

There is not really any drawback to Webroot’s SecureAnywhere antivirus, except for the fact that it is lightweight and not really for any heavy extractions or phishing. You can still use Webroot for your potato PCs, mainly if you do basic editing and don’t have any heavy-duty programs on it. Webroot has some standout features that set it apart despite being extremely affordable software. Some of them are always-on security, identity protection and real-time anti-phishing. 

3 money habits to help you out of a financial rut

Finance

While it’s certainly not something that should always be at the forefront of our minds, it’s sometimes hard not to view money as the be-all and end-all of everyday life, affecting the choices we make and the things we do.

Do you struggle with spending on stupid purchases, and wish you could develop some better habits in order to make you feel more confident in your finances? Want to start accruing some savings – perhaps to kickstart an investment portfolio – and ultimately end up with more than just scraps as you crawl towards payday? To help with inspiration, we’ve compiled a short list of three money saving habits that could help you in getting out of a financial rut. Read on to find out more, and be sure to share your own financial experiences/tips if not highlighted here!

Getting to know your spending

If you’re the sort of person that simply doesn’t know where your money goes each month (and don’t worry if you are, as there are plenty of us!), one of the first steps that you should start by taking is carefully analysing your spending through your online banking profiles. Trimming down any outgoings that you’d forgotten about will quickly save you some extra cash, and you’ll likely find alarming purchasing habits that you can nip in the bud to help instantly trim the proverbial fat.

Tip – Don’t know where to get started with your spending patterns, or how to change your outgoings into stuff that’s positive? Why not try downloading a financial advisor app on your smartphone? This way, you can get positive messages of encouragement throughout the day as you save, or perhaps even bits of advice and recommendations on how to better curb spending that you want to ideally avoid.The Big Investment blog has a piece on general finance apps that might be helpful if this sounds interesting!

Investing the money that you have

If you have aspirations greater than just an instant savings pot, and perhaps want to work on some investments for the future, then there is no better time than the present to learn – even if you feel that you don’t have the right amount of funding at that current moment. With the development of technology, there is a wide range of different smartphone apps, guides, podcasts and videos online for you to enjoy absolutely free, perfect for dipping your toe in the water and getting started.

If interested in the world of property investment, for example, RWinvest has a series of podcasts on some of the best areas to consider, what you need to look out for when investing, and how much money you would need to get started depending on the type of property you’re looking at. This sort of informative content will ultimately help you to hit the ground running if you should choose to pursue an investment strategy in the future, and at the very least it’s informative content that you can consume passively while becoming more knowledgeable on different subjects!

Challenging yourself to do better

Often gamifying an aspect of your life and challenging yourself to do something can help with motivation and drive, and so you might want to try this with different aspects of spending. Have a savings figure in mind that you want to reach by a specifictime, or perhaps even try having a go at one of the many savings challenges out there on the internet, as recommended by financial bloggers and writers.

One popular example is the ‘1p savings challenge’, in which you save a gradually increasing amount of money each day – starting with 1p and ending the year at £3.65. While it might seem trivial (and even unfeasible if you don’t have the correct amount of change each day!), it’s activities like this that get the ball rolling with saving and that general frugal mentality that you might be lacking, and once you’ve got the ball rolling it’s easier to maintain than you might think.

What are your favourite ways to save money, and what challenges/goals do you set yourself? Join in the discussion!

They have installed female representation on the traffic signals and road signs. It is glad to note that this kind of thing is happening first time in India.

Where they have done this?

Female traffic signal and signboards at Dadar, Mumbai

BMC has adopted this idea in the Dadar region in Mumbai. There are 13 junctions and around 120 pedestrians’ signals that will be replaced by female traffic signs on Cadell Road. So, they are effectively working on 240 signals having each red and green signals. They change only the stencil for the signals which is an efficient method. It is a 4.5 km stretch between Mumbai’s Dadar and Mahim. They have completed this initiative across 1 of the 13 junctions and will complete remaining in the month. This is the part of their project, “Cultural Spine” of Mumbai.

This is one part of it and more will come shortly. This intervention made Mumbai the first Indian city to join the league for installing gender-sensitive signboards. This project is conducted at a very low cost. Till now, they have spent less than 25k Cr for 13 junctions. Also, they easily obtained the no-objection certificate from the Joint Commissioner of Traffic Police. They stated that this idea is not violating the Indian Road Code and firmly approved the change.

What is people’s take on it?

  1. Aditya Thackrey, Maharashtra’s Tourism and Environment Minister has shared this news on Twitter depicting female pedestrian symbols on the Dadar traffic signals. He also emphasized the fact that this will make you feel certainly proud. He also applauded BMC officials Kishori Penekar and Vishakha Raut for this task.
  2. Actress Nimrit Kaur also supported this move and affirms that Mumbai is way apart. People have started feeling safe and live with freedom. BMC has done this to bridge the gender equality gap and this is a great step. She also felt wonderful to look at these signs while driving through this road which puts a smile on her face.
  3.  Actress and Director, Mahabanoo Mody-Kotwal worked on this issue of women empowerment through her plays. She stated that though it is a small move, a step in the right direction. She also noted that we can also put up women’s pictures everywhere but it won’t do justice. As the mindset of the people must change first.
  4. Author and Lawyer, Vandana Shah, said that it is high time for implementing more women symbols. As of now, people just look at the symbol and assume it as male. This move will shift the people’s perspective and women can live with better dignity.
  5. Assistant Municipal Commissioner of BMC, Kiran Dighavkar, said that the initiative of Cultural Spine includes many other things like footpath beautification, vertical gardens behind the bus stop, guiding tiles for visually impaired and so on. Replacing pedestrian signs with female symbol marks a good sign on the stretch from Siddivinayak to Mahim. It is part of developing new urban infrastructure that will show the nature of the quality upbringing in the city about giving respect to women. They are trying to send this message around the globe on gender equality.

Which are the other countries that already follow this?

Even, New York has started “men and women at work” signs to denote gender equality. Other cities like Vienna and London also came up with the idea of putting same-gender couple symbols on the pedestrian’s light.

What more can we do for women empowerment?

Female pedestrian signage: A good move towards women empowerment

Mumbai locals have different compartments for males and females. The main issue over here is that the seating capacity of women compartment is far lower than that of men. This is irrespective of the point that women are allowed in the male compartments too.

But the matter of fact is that, why differences in both compartments? The first-class women compartment only has 14 seat capacity which is 1/4th of male compartments in a few railway lines. Whereas, the second class women’s compartments number are also less than 72 seats only. Because of this issue, women face a lot of problems during peak hours. Also, the crowd makes pregnant women distressing while traveling on the trains to deal with this situation. The government must understand that number of women traveling has increased drastically for the past 20 years. More women are getting educated, doing jobs, and traveling for some other work by these local trains.

Have you seen clean washrooms everywhere in public spaces in your city? I don’t find so! It is true that due to “Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan”, many washrooms are created in the cities. But it is not enough. The problem is that either they are not hygienic or they are not present. It is high time that the government should take this matter more seriously as women need them significantly.

The empowered women are powerful beyond measure and beautiful beyond description.

There exist other small things that can help in spreading the message of women empowerment. After all, it is not just defined with the government but also it is the responsibility of the society to give women equal rights as men. From her safety in traveling out to online bullying, from the menstrual taboos to her promotion and pay structure, from insisting her to know cooking to force for her to marry. These things do matter a lot! The absurd mentality of people must change towards women. If this happens, I think there will be no discrimination and women can live more safely and happily.

Dual degree: Competitive advantage or an Extra dose of stress

Dual Degree text on sticky notes. Office desk background.

Recently the University Grants Commission (UGC) allowed students to pursue dual degree courses simultaneously. For example- students studying Bachelors in English literature now can also pursue a degree course in Science or commerce field. But one of the degrees should be pursued through Open/distance learning and the other can be regular. 

The dual degree system sounds pleasing to everyone for now. As the students are guessing that this will reduce their time investment. But this dual degree system has also come up with a few challenges. Moreover,the regular degree courses are generally planned in a way that they consume a student’s full time.

The dual degree system is optional and students according to them can choose if they want to pursue it or not. But I believe that having an opportunity like this, in this pandemic. No student will actually leave this chance to learn. And upgrade their skills and resumes as it will direct them to land a job much before than others. Furthermore, this will also lead to mental, physical and pocket exertion which is not easy to cope up with. 

Dual degree: Competitive advantage or an Extra dose of stress
Two graduation hats here means the pressure or the pleasure of two.

We can understand if we should do it or not by stating a few rationales (given below) as its pros and cons.

Pros:

Saves time for us

Pursuing two degrees together can save our time in terms of year, and can make us land a job prior than others. The students who are pursuing two degrees together will also lead in the competition/ race of their social world. 

Upgrade in resume and skills

Having two degrees in diverse or similar courses, both in a way can be effective. And adds up in your skills and resume. As the recruiter then will have more reasons to select you over other candidates. 

Development in time management skills

One common thing of all the successful people in this world is the skill of time management. Pursuing two degrees together will give you ample opportunities to work around this skill and master it for better results.  

 Can switch career easily 

The generation today is working around their interests and abilities for generating diverse career options/ money/ future out of it. And pursuing two degrees will motivate the youngsters to work on their passion and profession together. Also they can switch streams easily because they will have skills and qualifications for both.

Cons:

Mental exertion 

Dual degree system can be worthy for your resumes and skills. But this also adds up extra pressure on students. And this pressure can clearly have effects on their mental as well as physical well-being. 

 Managing the exams and assignments of the two degrees together

The enrollment of an individual in two degrees at the same time also comes with a lot of responsibilities. Such as, completing the assignments given, doing self-study and achieving good marks in examinations. This can be easier if the two degrees have some connection in them. But if not then the student had to jumble between two different things and understandings. Challenges faced them at these times can be worthy in the long run. But managing them today can also be tough for some individuals.  

Can be heavy on pocket 

Pursuing two different degrees and paying for both colleges together can be out of budget for many students. And, opportunities like scholarships and fee-waivers are not provided in every institution. So economically it can be draining for an individual to continue to pay for both courses together. Moreover, the idea of pursuing a dual degree itself has some privileges to it. As in this country some people haven’t even got the chance to pursue one degree of their choice.  

 A regular degree doesn’t leave time for anything extra

Pursuing a degree full time doesn’t provide much opportunity to students to explore other things which are out of premises and their course. Full-time degree course not always leave time for the student to study different subjects calmly. So pursuing a different degree course and achieving good marks in it can be challenging for one. 

Having a degree in two very different streams can’t be always beneficial for you

Students who are pursuing similar kind of courses can be fruitful in the long run. But the ones who are pursuing very different courses can’t always add up to your resume effectively. For example, students who have enrolled in a course of education and are pursuing B.tech full time can’t be effective enough until and unless he/she will continue as a teacher in future. 

Can’t have specialized knowledge of one

Pursuing two degrees in a different field can help individuals to have diverse knowledge. But they will not master a particular subject while continuing with both. As at some point or the other, they will have to choose one skill over others to master. Or else they will be called as- ‘Jack of all trades, master of none’.

I hope the points given above would have helped you guys figure to out if you should do two-degree courses together or not. The idea of jotting down these points as pros and cons is not to terrify you about the dual degree. This is just an attempt to clarify the points which can be applied as different advantages/disadvantages in your situation differently.
