  India is a land of great men and women, a land of rich cultural diversity, a land rich in natural and intellectual capital, and a land with a lot of hearts... a lot of hearts. It's no surprise that we're already one of the world's fastest-growing economies. We're on par with them. I'm still proud of my country as an Indian. We have accomplished a lot as a country: we have landed on the moon, pushed for MARS, have one of the world's top five space programmes despite budget constraints, and we are the UN's second-largest troop contributor. But where we are... as human beings! I'm ashamed to say that we're failing our nation, it's our fault that our sisters, mothers were abused, it was heartbreaking to see how we as men failed to protect our sister Dr Priyanka Reddy, you must have heard of her, seen Instagram stories about her, but not just her in Chandigarh, 14 years of age in Vadodara, 25 years of age in Ranchi, 20,32 years of age in Tamilnadu, ...

  In Telugu cinema, weapons tell their own tale, defining the cause for which the hero battles and for whom he stands up. In Baahubali: The Conclusion, Amarendra Baahubali and Kattappa, arguably one of the greatest tag-team partners in cinematic battlefields (before Kattappa stabbed Baahubali), have a fondness for swords.On several occasions, Baahubali asks his mother (uncle) to get his aayudham (weapon), which they share. The sword is a sign of their shared confidence and belief, and it binds them together. Director SS Rajamouli emphasises the single line, "Mama, Aayudham (Uncle, weapon!)" on at least three occasions, which explains why the betrayal near the end of the film feels so overwhelming. The sword in Baahubali symbolises both trust and deception, and it takes on a life of its own. This, however, is not a random example in Telugu cinema. In an effort to elevate the hero to a mythical figure, Telugu filmmakers have often stocked the hero's arsenal with a variety o...

 We are still searching for the right solution because of the use of technology in our daily lives in today's world. The next logical move in the development of money is cryptocurrency. The effect of Bitcoin and other smaller coins has been seen all over the world. Even if it is in small measures, they are continuously revolutionising the world in which we live. New users who welcome new technology push us to become a better society. Pi is the first digital currency for ordinary citizens, marking a significant move forward in global cryptocurrency adoption. Their goal is to "create a forum for cryptocurrencies and smart contracts that is safe and run by everyday citizens." 'The freer the money, the freer the people,' is a phrase I deeply believe in. The same principle applies to Pi. They want to make it the world's most open cryptocurrency, available to anyone with a smartphone. This is huge news because we now know that the world's largest cryptos are pro...

Finally, the itinerary has been finalised, the luggage has been packed, and our very own "Paris of the East" awaits us. We're heading to Pondicherry. 1st day We, a group of five people from various parts of India, agreed to meet in Chennai. We had breakfast in Chennai at Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. MGR Bus Stand, also known as the CMBT bus terminus, and then boarded a bus to Pondicherry, covering 150 kilometres in 3.5 hours. We've arrived in Pondicherry at long last. We checked into our white town place, then rented bikes for 450 per day, relaxed for a while, and then left for lunch. We had lunch at Sarvana Bhavan, a renowned Indian restaurant chain where the vegetarian meal is completely delicious. We went to Vinayagar Temple after finishing our lunch. The intricate architecture of the hundreds of small statues and idols, in addition to the temple's lustrous golden int...

 LET'S BE FAIR. WE'VE ALL HEARD THEM, BUT SOME OF THESE ARE REALLY BAD. THESE ARE 4 NORTH KOREA MYTHS AND WHY THEY ARE Absolutely FALSE! Myth 1: North Korea is just about Kim Jong Un and nuclear weapons. North Korea is more than Kim Jong-un and nuclear missiles, to be sure. It is home to 25 million people who are subjected to one of the most brutal regimes in the world. The focus of the media is on Kim Jong Un and nuclear weapons. However, the people of North Korea and their stories remind us that it is a nation full of promise and hope. Here you can read about the people of North Korea. Myth 2: The entire population of North Korea has been brainwashed. The dictatorship wants the world to see goosestepping soldiers and videos of hysterical crowds cheering for the Kim dynasty. However, it is by no means the complete frame. Also the regime's tight control does not prevent North Koreans from becoming more conscious of their surroundings. North Koreans have new outlets to the o...
