Real to Virtual. How effective.?

The world is changing at an exponentially high rate. It is imperative to understand and adapt with the change that is coming into existence.  


Pandemic has also played a major role in shifting the dynamics. Due to this there is a major shift in the education sector.


Education is factor which cannot be sacrificed and thus it had to keep going as it has an utmost importance in our life. The way we do things are changing; the classes we used to attend are getting changed into virtual online classes.

Talking about multimedia, virtual reality is very new and attractive. It basically makes you do different adventures virtually so that there is no risk and you can do it comfortably. The type of education has changed quite a bit and as we all know that each and everything has certain pros and cons.


This era has witnessed many changes due to the advancement in technology. Many things we did physically can now be done virtually and more conveniently. The major advantage of this is that the world didn’t stop even after the outbreak of the covid 19. 


Although physical work and education is more efficient than compared to this but still digital is the best alternative to the current scenarios in  the whole world.


If we think on a global level this has a lot of advantages because if things stopped working then the countries would have drowned in their economical losses but with the help of these technologies they are still able to maintain a balance in this time. Talking particularly about education - it has a lot of different aspects because it is one's personal preference on how andwhich way he or she likes to learn. For some students online classes is a gift as they can take their education within the comfort of their homes but for others it turns out to be quite opposite because they are not able to understand the concepts.


Now at this point of time weshould understand as to how we can mitigate this issue and grow, apart from this it is high time and we should try to learn on a global level, cramming answers and textbooks for the sake of marks will just get you marks and not knowledge. It is imperative to see that the world is evolving and we should be learning stuff that would help us in the near future as we don't know what is gonna happen in the future we should be ready for each and everything that can happen, we should be focusing on our vocational skills and our intellect. 


All in all, we have been provided a wonderful opportunity to experience all of these things virtually which would help us to understand how these things work, so we should be putting in our best. Whether it be students or business tycoons, we have to adapt ourselves to new realities for the better future of the world.

Quarantine And The Power Of Media



At this point of time, the whole world is facing a dreadful scenario because of the pandemic. Many countries had been into complete lockdown for a few months which included India too. Due to this we had to be quarantined.


So what is quarantine?

According to me, we all are suffering from a worldwide issue which is covid nineteen or in laymen language the new corona virus which is very harmful. This has caused a havoc all around the world and has affected more than a million people.

Though the mortality rate of this virus is quite low but it is very contagious and spreads a lot faster than even compared to a common cold.


So due to this terrible condition the countries in order to protect their citizens have announced lock-down which basically means that the whole world is under lock-down. This is where quarantine comes in, we the people are now quarantined which means we have to avoid social gatherings whatsoever and stay at home to follow social distancing. As this virus is new we don’t have any cure or say antidote for it as such till date.


In between this comes the role of media (worldwide) -  media is a very powerful medium whether it be print media or  the news or it be the social media. Media is already quite powerful and amidst this lockdown, it is helping people in conquering the situation. Due to the cases which are increasing consistently and at a very high rate, it is playing a critical role in mitigating fear among the people. 


The disease itself is not that big of a deal but due to the reports and many claims it has created tension globally . Now talking about social media it is one of the most used form of media and due to everyone being on social media, there are plenty of opinions going around. Social media has started to play the role of courts during lockdown, so many people just share or say whatever they want and spread hate. I wouldn’t say that posting or writing about something bad is wrong but is it really our job to give punishments to each and everyone.


Are we seriously qualified and equipped enough to do such things and take action. 

NO. we should act like responsible citizens. Whether we are adults teens or kids it should be our sole duty to respect the power of media. 


Accept it or not media these days is not used as a medium instead it has started to be used as a weapon. In this situation people are not actually aware of what they are saying or sharing or what would be the consequences. 


People have to stop targeting others and use this gift in a positive manner because as we all are aware each and everything has two aspects positive and negative but it is us who decide when and how to use it. We have to remember that negativity spreads faster in social media platforms.


The only thing we can do is stay at our home and thus protect the world. Now that we are quarantined what we should be doing is that we should do all the things we thought we didn’t get enough time for. Now is the time to develop new hobbies and to perfect the old ones. This is the time in which we can do whatever we want without any restrictions and now that we have ample of time we can invest our time to develop new skills, learn new languages and if you want to play games you can do that too. Now is the time we have our freedom and by doing such things by staying in our we are unknowingly contributing to the safety of the whole world. 


Schools and colleges are also closed but is it something to be sad about, we always wanted holidays not in  a restrictive time as now but still we should be looking at the positive side of this phase and do something productive  and positive which would surely contribute to our world. Also we should be grateful and obliged that we are safe in our houses while the doctors and army officers are still working for us, the heroes which are fictional are not the real heroes but these people are the real heroes as they risk out their precious lives in order to protect ours.


What we should do is support our family in whichever way we can irrespective of the judgement and difference of opinions on the gender of the person. Whether it be a boy or a girl he or she should be willing to help the elders in the chores as there is no other hope of support from any other person other than the people from the family. We should act like responsible global citizens and help our mothers daughters and sisters in this chaotic situation so that no one is stressed out.This is the period where we are isolated and should help each other though it feels like we are  trapped in our houses but we should be considerate enough to understand that we can overcome this problem only we stay supportive to each other and take in the measures for our own safety in order to help ourselves as well as others.


We should use this gift of media in a good manner as it is imperative to understand the situation at this point of time and we should act accordingly as all this has assuaged fear around the whole world.


All in all this is not the time to cry about things and make the problems even worse but it is the time when we should be strong and take all necessary measures to be safe and also we should invest our precious time to enlighten our self and add to our knowledge and at the same time do good to the whole world.

Suicide-is it the only option?

So today I’ll be talking about depression.


So what according to you guys is depression?


Is it a disease or a disability?


No.  From my perspective it is a state of mind which is somehow created due to stress and various other aspects. People face a lot of  issues in their life and stress at this point of time in the world is very common because people can get stressed about small things which play a very minimal role in our life but still people get affected by it.


Depression leads us to a basic virtual reality kind of experience in which we are always sad, nothing positive seems to happen to us.  


Mental health is prominently associated with depression. Not only adults but children and even the teens who have just started of with their studies and stuff are getting depressed and talking about it.  What are people usually upset about- marks, goals , desires. People usually get upset when they don't get what they were expecting for. People also get sad about love.


Love is a very small word of 4 letters but it also plays a major part in our life . Teens when they think they are in love, it is not always true in most of the cases, it is just infatuation which is a major distraction which leads us off track, but yes true love is also there not only for adults but for teens also. Children get upset about their breakups and all and while coping up with it, they have to struggle with the society demands as well. 


I never understand these society demands or rules or regulations, I wouldn’t say I disrespect them but to me it does not make any sense as to why do everybody has to think before doing anything that what other people will think about him or his work. 


This should be totally eliminated from our lives, we should be free enough to take all decisions in our life without worrying about the people whom we don't even know properly. 


Talking about a students life - it is not as easy as it seems. The student has to face many struggle ;  some on personal level and simultaneously they have to work hard on their professional front too and the same is with the life of the adults. It does not matter who you are- an actor, director , businessman or a professional who does his/her job.


Stress is always there because each and every human being according to me hopes to get recognition for the work they do and  when sometimes they don't get it, they become sad and depressed.


This particular year 2020 has not been a very good and positive year for all of us because of corona virus and the consequences we have to face because of it.


Talking about India or Indian cinema(Bollywoood).

It has suffered a substantial loss this year because of the most prominent and versatile actors Demise.


These type of things usually creates a major impact on people and this leads oneself to doubt his or her capabilities. What is suicide? It Is the last stage of a person when he or she looses full faith in life and thinks that there is nothing worth to live for and I am telling you when a person is going through depression, they loose their ability to judge or evaluate what is right or wrong and thus end up taking such harsh decisions such as suicide.


When people say that sad people commit suicide.  It is not true. Depression wont reflect on anyone’s face and we don’t have a test which will state depression + or something, it is a state of mind and it can totally be changed by some help and guidance. 


Mental health is one the most challenging aspects at this point of time because even small children are getting affected by this. 


And to be honest whenever you are sad or say depressed, you  would not be healthy.  A sad person always faces some or the  other health problem. 


All we have to do is look at the positive side of the things and I totally accept and agree, when there  is no positive or happy thing is available then only thing which comes in our mind is - what is the last solution to get rid of these problems. It is suicide.


A big NO! There is no bigger reason than having the will to live for whatever it takes because at the end nothing is more precious neither money nor materialistic things. Life matters more than anything.  When a person has a will to live, I can surely promise that he/she will surely find a way out of the problems but when the person gives up nothing can help. What do you think is the most common reason for death in foreign countries - it is nothing else but suicide.


In a nutshell, all I want to say is - suicide is not an option at all. 


A person can improve, reflect on mistakes and do anything in life if he/she lives. Being alive is a privilege because we don’t know how or when death can occur, so why don’t we live our lives to the fullest and be as happy as we can because remember If out of 100 thing 99 are negative things there will always be that one thing which will stop you from doing anything wrong and that thing will help you get success and achieve all the goals in your life. 


Life is not easy at all some or the other problem will always be there but we ourselves have to think that who will prevail in the fight us or our problems or issues. The talent of being happy is a great talent but the person who makes the other person happy is the best out of all .


All in all we should always be positive and help each and every person in our reach in whatsoever way we can. Together we can defeat anything and everything. So we should pledge to be happy  and spread positivity around the world.

Time Or Money


So, we have always been curious about what matters most. Is it Time or Money, being an inquisitive child, this seems to be major concern to me. Time and Money are two things that according to my perspective are incomparable. Time is something we never get back although money is something we earn and thus we can get it back. So, should we go behind money or time?
We have often heard that time is money but what exactly does this term mean. It means that money is just materialistic whereas time is something totally different from it. We realise that we can earn money by utilising our time and resources in a beneficial way but is there any procedure so as to buy time. NO. 
Time is something that if goes never come back, why are we told to enjoy each and every moment and aspect in our life, it is because that particular moment or time would never come back. Whereas if we elaborate on money it is quite important too. Like time, it also goes away, considering the fact that we can earn money later unlike time but does that mean that we should waste our money. 
Time plays a very important or to be more specific a crucial role in our life. What do we get from time?
We get experiences. Experience is what matters the most when we get new experiences we grow up, we see different things, get new responsibilities and also new roles in our life, so thus it is very important to understand the value of time.
Although it is imperative to realise that money also matters a lot at every point of life whether you are a child, adult or an old person you always need money so as to fulfil basic needs and requirements and thus money also plays a very crucial role. Making money looks a lot easier than it is, people have different ways to earn money. Some earn less money while some earn more but what matters is the feeling of contentment.
It is a fact that happiness doesn’t depend on such aspects, a person who earns less might be much happier than the person earning more. This is a personal choice because these things matter a lot but they do not make an impact on our personality or intellect. It is a human tendency to be needy for more than we have. We have our choices whether to stay happy or to want more. 

I think that it is completely rational to want more because when we strive for more, we get the motivation to work more hard so as to attain our goals and the most successful people in this world are those who never give up and keep on working hard but I would say that while working hard to get more we shouldn’t be sad or negative if we have a little less than we expected because the things we have at the moment are still the things that some of the people dream for. So, while we work hard we should be happy and satisfied for what we have at the moment. Both time and money are equally important aspects in our life.

Thus summing it all up, both of these things matter a lot in our life and we should be grateful for the things we have and also we should not waste any moment at any point of time in our life and use each and every moment to be happy and productive and we should also be that kind of a person who learns from his/her own mistakes because there is no best teacher for us other than ourselves.

Quarantine- Is It Good?



So what is quarantine?

This is when we can prove ourselves and at the same time do good to the whole world.

Is Success Happiness Or Is Happiness The Real Success?

Success is when you believe that you have completed or say accomplished the goals you had set in your life.

Each and every person has a different perspective for success. For one person success is earning a lot of money but for the other person it Is getting a lot of fame. So we cannot say that success has a particular definition.

Considering success as a final goal is not right because nobody can get 100 percent successful in their life because there is always something or the other left to be accomplished.

To state the fact that an actor might be very famous but he may not be the richest compared to others while the other would be very rich, but not well known. Everybody has different goals in their life - some child wants to become a pilot, the other wants to become a doctor.

I don’t say that making these big goals is wrong but according to my personal perspective and experience it is not profitable. What I think that we should do is set short term goals in our life. Which would clearly help us a lot in our current life irrespective of what situations may occur in future. For ex – I am a student of class 10 and appearing for board examinations for the first time, so at this point of time my goal should not be how to crack IIT or any further studies. Right now my goal should be getting good marks in class 10. Moreover I should not just get too bogged down about marks. Instead, I should put in my best effort and that is what really matters in life.

Now is happiness = success.

The answer according to me is a complete NO because these 2 terms cannot be compared to each other because neither it is not compulsory that a person who has got success will be fully happy and contented in their life nor a person who is not successful would be sad. In fact in some cases unsuccessful tend to be more happy than compared to successful people.

Also success cannot be measured because someone wants to become a CEO in the company and some other person would be happy at some lower post too.

The major point is that success and happiness cannot be measured and thus they are un-comparable too.The things we should do to enhance or say upgrade ourself are that we should never be unhappy for whatever we get because the thing we are unhappy for could be someones dream or aspiration. Secondly we should never compare our self to other people because they have different goals. The thing that we should focus on is our present and how to handle things, how to manage oneself in bad conditions and how to always remain one step ahead of the flock so that we could be leaders and not wanderers.

We should work on our strengths rather than crying about our weaknesses. We should improvise our value that would be upgrading our calibre. Also in todays date, the thing that matters are intellectual skills and particularly knowledge because a person who memorises some books and score well but they aren’t able to speak or stand confidently that study is of no use but If a person does not have a very good command in memorizing stuff but they have a good amount of self confidence and they have good communication skills and high general knowledge they will surely get more success and would be more happy compared to the other one.

To summarise success is not happiness and happiness is not success in all cases and the people who manage to get both are the most lucky ones. So we should do what we are happy in doing irrespective of what it is and if we are happy to do it, we will surely get successful in it.
