Better The Devil You Know Than The Devil You Don’t

Image
The political debacle of Prashant Kishor, also known as PK, the founder and strategist of the newly formed party Jan Suraj, flabbergasted his fans, party workers, members, and people in the recently concluded election in the poll-bound State of Bihar.  Nobody expected that, considering the galvanizing moments his team had created on social platforms, and the 3 years of intensive foot marches he and his party workers did. It was an earth-shattering moment for someone held in high regard as India’s arguably most influential political strategist, whose portfolios boast of impressive political victories of many prominent Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A man of such standing, having lost all 238 seats on which his party launched its candidates, not only blunts his so-far dignified (or overestimated) clout as India’s best political strategist, but it has also put in the spotlight some of his character weaknesses, including blabber-mouthing and sentencing condes...

Are humans in for a bleak future with AI taking over their jobs?

The artificial intelligence, as per my subjective understanding of the technology, has not explicitly demonstrated the fact that whether it is going to benefit humanity positively or create detrimental results for its very existence.  The reason why I am saying so is based on my observation over the past few months about AI in the context of its contribution to human evolutions. So far, I have noticed that more than giving benefits to the humanity or people on a large scale, the artificial intelligence has just rendered their status into a stage of depressive outcome, in terms of job loss. The last year I came to know that Paytm has fired one thousands of its employees subsequent to enforcing AI-led automation in its business operations. In its press release, the company notified that it has experienced a performance boost by thirty percent post AI implementation, thereby lending more credibility to its official decision associated with terminating the jobs of those ill-fated emp...

PM Modi on ramping up testing to cease corona infection spike in India

Image
So, our prime minister has accentuated the importance of increasing testing counts rather than being obsessed with vaccinations. According to his opinions, we fought bravely the first wave of coronavirus infection in 2020 at a time when even imagining about the covid vaccine seemed a far-fetched reality. Basically, his viewpoint was that States should not get worried about the rising cases of people being tested corona positive.  The prime focus must be testing, testing, and mounting up its numbers. I found that statement quite relieving, as it bears a semblance of a practical solution to the rising corona cases. Most importantly, it will rein in the rising number of FAKE news circulating all over digital platforms and media outlets about the virus. At least it is now clear that vaccination will be given to only ELIGIBLE people based on their age-marking by the government of India. The task of vaccinating the deserving citizens will be carried out with its own natural space but in ...

My Hypothetical Rumination

I tend to believe that writing is an essential art for surviving in this world. It will give you success and growth in your chosen field of activity.  People who are not willing to embrace this art do not usually get a great deal of success in life. Some may argue that writing is no longer a job of people. The reason behind such thinking is their reference to robotic writing.  They think that in the future, writers will be replaced.  And such replacement will be done by none other than robot writers. to say otherwise, robots will replace human writers in days to come. What will happen at that moment is something that gives me a spooky feel.  Believe it or not but when I try to conjure up such a situation, I have sweet and cold beads all over my body. This is because I get spooky as to whether my craft will be replaced by robots.  What will happen to my livelihood if the thing I do for my survival will no longer be required? Who, at that time, will come to my res...

My Submitting to Divinity

Image
 I am trying to convince myself that what is fated to happen in my life will happen at any cost, and there's' no power under my capacity to alter the course of divine supervene. I have been a bundle of nerves lately and caused myself to suffer uncalled for tension and anxiety just because I failed to realize this wisdom. Due to being a human, my propensity to resign myself into a groundless vexation is the result of how I have cultivated myself in these years of my survival through trial and tribulation I've witnessed so far. Sometimes regression falls in to make me feel worse that despite being talented and top in my professional career, why richness is so unattainable pursuit for me? Deep introspection to find the answer to the above leads me to this wisdom that perhaps I am supposed to do my karma, follow my responsibility, and ensure my deeds are righteous and on track to achieve something worthwhile. Though some stupid yet emotionally disturbing remembrance of the...

My recent Redmi Note 7 Pro Purchase

Image
I have purchased Redmi Note 7 Pro on the 5 th of January 2020. It was Neptune Blue in color.  What motivated me to purchase this smartphone were those positive reviews by people online and because of those reviews-sharing websites which gave an impressive rating to this phone. My first thought about buying Redmi Note 7 Pro was its Camera, Processor capacity, and some other features, about which the phone was blithely endorsed all over the internet. Many websites exaggerated at length about this phone, saying it is one of the most const-effective smartphones every brought into the Indian market.  These positive reviews finally tantalized me to purchase the phone, and so, I dropped an order on Flipkart, which later had it delivered to me 6 days after I had placed an order for the phone. Firsthand experience of Redmi Note 7 Pro on arrival When the phone was home-delivered by the Flipkart delivery agent, my joy knew no bounds. I just wanted to o...

The unconquerable force energy

I am of belief that nothing happens in our life unless it is predestined. Call me fatalist or what, but I am driven by this thought that there is certainly an omnipotent energy force originating from somewhere in the vastness of the universe that controls our life’s movements and decides if we meet pitfalls or success in every sphere of life we lead. Folly of us not to subscribe to this ideology. Just because everything that happens in our life bears its evidence and then we believe in it doesn’t mean we should reject occurrence of those incidents that take place based on the reason that is mysteriously unsubstantiated through material evidence. Things like earthquake and other nature-propelled incidents act on their own self-run will or by certain mystique force of the universe that is beyond our ability to prove.  However, the existence of such an energy force tells us that we must regard its omnipotence with awe and honor. Even though we tend not to believe such existence ...

Being Obedient to Job

Image
When you do a job as a professional writer, you are bound to make some unspoken responsibility, that you will do your best to make the job undertaken viable for your employer, and for your own career advantage. That being said, let your employer feel that he has made a right decision by giving you an opportunity to streamline his core business operations. These days, the commitment to making your job worth the salt for you and for your employer has either transformed into self-centric appeasement of individuals at large or it is no longer a commendable ethical discipline for most. There was a time when commitment shown toward the job in hand was remarkably followed and the enormity of adherence to making your employer's vision success was strongly felt. I mean no contradiction to the current trend of following the same disciplinary motto as exercised by employees. Of course, there are countless of them who think that they should pay utmost regard to the job they are doing,...

How not to talk to anyone

I have been grappling this question for quite some days, and sadly the answer has been elusive to me; though I really worked out harder on finding the answer through the act of self-appreciation of the question the answer of which I wondered if it was worth answering or not.  Anyway, I don’t think that the kind of question that my mind gives birth to has sometimes actually any relevance for the time being, in the given context of my inability to think clearly or hazily some weird ideas which keep hitting my nerve like the blows of Khali hammering down the opponents in the ring cage. Alright let me come to the point – I have been thinking is there any really way, I mean for real, not to talk to anyone? Well, that’s quite understandable if you tend to share your logic, that it’s simply a matter of your willingness whether or not to talk to anyone, and if you don’t show such will, or maintain some stern taciturnity, that’s okay – people will get the drift you are not intere...

Pot calling the kettle black

I was nearly a nut job in childhood. Piked up fights with friends, beat down my classmates and used to steal things like the gregarious bunch of some kleptomaniac freaks. Instead of exercising atonement over my childhood notoriety, I felt elated over vandalizing things on provocation. "If you don't pull up your socks and behave, things will be difficult for you in future," - used to say my mom after some gentle mild rebukes over my mischievousness. "I will beat the shit out of you the next time i hear complain from neighbors. You got my point?" - used to say my father who seemed to lose his temperament the moment he heard complains from people about my intractable childhood mischief. When mom rebuked, it was understandable for me that she was in pain for my action. She is a woman of substance I must say. But when father said something in saintly advisory tone, i simply looked at him in amazement, wondering what made him so wise today. I was unable to get hi...

Tenacity perfects your writing, Here's why

Image
I do not buy credo of the people bloviating that writing can’t be done easily. I had not approved to this thought either, that writing was too difficult a task, and you can't execute your "intangible thoughts" into their factual manifestations as it is demanding, skill-based job which means, it can be done by those having experiential insight in creative writing. As a matter of fact, writing, or content writing, or creative writing is surreal mix of science and art. Therefore, you as a writer, have to get along with your manuscript creatively, in such a fashion demonstrative of the fact that you are unconditionally and passionately committed to it. In the meantime, what I think is a writer should never leave writing holding the baby, just because he is getting fed up with the ill-treatment and mockery his craft receives from naysayers and pedantic critiques. If you ask me, it is unwise to see yourself from naysayer's standpoint. Yeah, you might be thinking...

VLC Fix - How to remove horizontal green lines permanantely

Image
VLC has been the most preferred media players for me, and I have been using it for many years. I switch to its upgraded versions whenever I am prompted to download the updates by the media player (I set it on "update latest version" mode).  At present I am running on my Windows 7 PC the latest VLC media player 2.2.2 Weatherwax (64-bit for my Windows 7-OS). As expected, the upgraded version of VLC runs smoothly on my PC and I am very satisfied with the performance  up until I noticed green horizontal lines on top and bottom of the vlc media player. I thought that's okay to have it as it was not causing any problem as I was watching videos and playing MP3 files without any difficulty. But still I thought of searching for ways to remove the green lines, and I tried some random tips on my own, and eureka - I found the solution. The technique worked for me like a magic and I am sharing it here for my readers, hoping they'd find the tips...

Misconceived Feminism

Image
If someone imperious tries to be misandrist on the pretext of endorsing the doctrine of feminist, he/she needs psychiatric evaluation and those with the chronic disorder of supporting such doctrine must seek psychiatric evaluation as well, in my humble point of view. What is the definition of feminist, tell me that? Is it being supporting someone with female origin regardless of whether her own version of truth stands in the same wavelength of others? Or it is her not being able to handle characteristic flaws and therefore resorting uncalled for denunciation, call someone male by name and wash your dirty linen to media pleading innocence? If you call this feminism, then and with all due respect, I can’t blithely escort to such misguided credo of feminism where ideology conflicts and sex in particular is given undue regards over hypothetical assumption of “patriarchal” society and male dominance, considered to be anathema (as once blithely claimed by Burkha Dutt and like-minde...

Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness

Image
...and why not? The evolution of human beings took so much time just on the basis of the received wisdom, that they were afraid of accepting CHANGE or acclimatisation. A mind preoccupied with fear from thunderstruck at night, howls of beasts nearby and the fearsome sight of the fire was too hard to be convinced to accept the change , and which is why evolution of human being (as i concur) was prolonged process. This quote is reminiscent of that evolution. Men were confined in their sense of fear, and therefore they were unable to acclimatize to the new surroundings posing as threat to their long-held superstitions. The cavemen never took the trouble of coming out of their hideouts at nights filled with spooky sounds of thunders/wolves/lions or wild animals. And when they mustered up courage, tried to evolve with the things around, they learnt that many things or beliefs they were so blithely held up were counterfactual credo. So, they busted many myths later through the ...

Writing - Should I pursue online creative writing course?

Image
If the ability to write creatively were possible through courses, the world would rather have become the hub of institutes imparting knowledge on creative writing skills. Can’t deny the veracity of some institutes though, but if you ask me I never went for online creative writing course, or will not do so in future as well.  Why?  To my empirical insight, writing is more  ‘application of your thought in the fashion that is semantically unique’   than  ‘application of an imposed thought-pattern that is semantically artificial and sometimes an esoteric imposition’ .  This is why the world is fraught with  countless writers bereft of distinctive flair in writing , but very few (finger-countable) ones who are truly gifted in their niche. As self-explanatory as it seems, success kisses the latter while oblivion is the reward of the former . You will, if you Google down your query, receive deluge of pros and cons discourses arguing whether or n...
