Smart Watches- Entangling the Human Wrist

  These days the gadget which is in growing demand is a SMART WATCH , day by day each human wrist is getting entangled in it. Now the question raises why is it being referred as entangling instead of being smarter, this is truly because we are again becoming more dependent on electronic gadgets and instead of it acting as boon, it is becoming more of a bane which we are not realising at this stage, but we will realise it soon like we have seen and realised the impact of increasing screen time on our body and life due to excessive usage of so called smart phones. It has many advantages as it is designed in a way that it can do a lot of tasks. Let us see a few functions and the actual role they play in entangling a person and would make themselves deeply dependent. 1.       They don’t just tell the time (Instead, they are acting as a fashion statement or a status symbol these days). 2.       A travel buddy right on your wrist (T...

Transformation in Education in Electronic Era

“Education is not learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think”  Albert Einstein We are the teachers of twenty first century teaching students who have a very different point of view towards life and its various aspects. In fact, we can keep ourselves young and energetic if we are able to pace up to teach this generation. The teaching pedagogy that a teacher follows in the classroom and beyond it, is very important to build a rapport with the students. The teaching methods are supposed to be student oriented rather a teacher sometimes is not able to realise that he/ she is supposed to teach the way students like and not the way a teacher likes it. That’s what has come out/ oozed out in this lockdown period that we are facing due to COVID 19 in the recent scenario, when we started teaching online through ZOOM App, Google Meet and other such platforms, we received an overwhelming response, students started studying and my inbox is full of queries and doubts wh...

Rise of Zombie Firms

The term “Zombie Firms” gained importance in media during 2008, for companies receiving bailouts from the US TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program). It was first applied to Japanese firms when they needed support from Japanese banks after the collapse of the Japanese Asset Price Bubble in 1990s. The period came out be known as ‘Lost Decade’. Weak & failing firms were able to exist or survive only through the support of Japanese banks. An economy with companies which need bailouts in order to operate or survive, or in other words, an indebted company which is able to repay the interest on its debts but unable to repay the principal. They do generate cash, after covering running costs and few fixed costs like wages, rates and rent, that is, they only have enough funds to service the interest on their loans, but not the debt itself. Banks act as their never- ending life support, for their continued existence. Over an extended period, they are unable to cover debt servicing costs fr...

“Effectiveness of E- Learning Teaching Methods”

I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.’ –Albert Einstein Action Research is considered an important tool in education system in order to remove the deviations from teaching- learning process, but now the scenario is taking turn towards a different aspect. Personal interaction between pupil and his teacher is on decreasing edge. Schools and colleges are slowly looking at technology as an opportunity to develop teaching methods and resonate with students on a technology level. Regardless of age, almost everyone owns a smartphone. Google is our information center, and Wikipedia is our guide book, Thesaurus is our word finder, and Kindle is our textbook. At a time like this, learning to change our teaching methods by incorporating technology is a way to bring light to the lives of our students. Textbooks, homework, classroom notebooks, whiteboard, chalk, and markers are now moving into the history of Education Systems. S...

“Multiplication of Money- a dilemma”

The ancestral human values are being suppressed day by day and the lust towards earning more and more money is at pace. In Metaphysical philosophies, idealism is the one that asserts that reality as humans can know it . Methodologically, idealism exhibits as a  scepticism about the possibility of getting aware of any mind-independent thing. In comparison to  materialism, idealism propounds the  primacy  of consciousness as the origin and pre- requirement of material phenomena . But now the race of human beings are not able to judge the right reason of their existence in this mortal world. Today the inclination is towards the world of money, fame and the so called success has also changed its meaning.The Law of Karma is unerring and everyone without any exception is subjected to it. Sometimes we are heedless to the fact that most of our lifetime is spent in undergoing destiny which is created by our karmas or deeds in our past or present births. As per the law...

Indian Women

“We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better.” –  J. K. Rowling Which stone is left unturned? Which field is left to explore? What is left to be done?...... But still Indian women is fighting hard to come out of the stereotypes existing in our society, since ages. Following western culture is not the only direction to move ahead, our own culture is so rich that one needs his lifetime to understand and adopt it in one’s life. Beginning from excellence in household chores, which is an art in itself to bringing up children and looking after the official chores is a normal routine. Creativity is a big factor that makes them and their activities more beautiful. It has been quoted many a times that Indian women possesses “AshtaBhujaein ” alike Goddess Durga. They work tirelessly from dawn to dusk for the welfare of family and ultimately leading to welfare of the nation as well. ...
