Greece – Forever A Loan

Image
You don’t need to be a newspaper-addict to have realized by now that something’s going on – or should I say, going wrong – in the country of Greece. So why should you care about some ancient Mediterranean nation that you last heard of from your history teacher? Why has Greece suddenly become the center of attraction for the global media vultures? Does this money-talk sound all Greek to you? Well, hopefully you’ll feel a bit more enlightened after reading this through. This tragic tale started in 2001, when several European nations agreed to replace their currencies with a new, common currency – the Euro. This group of nations came to be known as the Eurozone and Greece was a part of it. For joining the Eurozone, a country needed to be economically well off. If a country with massive debts would adopt the Euro, then it would negatively affect all the other nations using the Euro. Now, Greece had been spending more money than they could earn (it’s called running a fiscal deficit) a

User Experience Designer

Have you ever wondered that how is iOS or Android so user friendly? Its not only the hard work of the developers but there is backhand which rarely anyone knows. They are the User Experience Designer. User experience designers focus on how users interact with the design, rather than focusing on the look and feel of the website. User experience designers focus on usability of the design, making sure that the users face as few issues as possible while using the design. They usually create prototypes and blueprints of the design, to understand how users use the design. They are responsible for all the interactions that take place on a design right from basic interactions like clicking on a button At their most basic level, any product—be it an iPhone or Website—can be categorized in one of two ways: user-friendly or not so much. It’s the job of the user experience designer to make sure that any product on his or her roster always falls into that former category. This means making s

SAUDI ARABIA BE LIKE

Saudi Arabia: From now we will allow our women to vote and run for office. The world: Oh yeah! This is such a progressive step.  * happy dance * * collective  yaaaas * Saudi Arabia: However, the opposition from the male family members might make it very difficult them to obtain the ID cards, even though they are legally allowed to do so. * lol max * The world: … Saudi Arabia:   The guardianship system which gives male relatives legal control over many aspects of women’s lives. Through it, women are barred from attending school, working, traveling abroad, filing a lawsuit, or, in some cases, even receiving medical treatment, without the permission of their fathers, brothers, or husbands. The world: … Saudi Arabia: Additionally, a woman’s testimony in court is often worth half that of a man, and daughters receive half of the inheritance that sons are given. Oh, and also, women are also  forbidden  from driving cars. The world: Okay. Never mi

Suicides or Murders?

The Vyapam Scam redefines the magnitude of the two most essential elements that validate today’s politics: Education and Money. At the surface, it is a simple admission and recruitment scam involving the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MPPEB) popularly known as Vyapam.  But as the layers were uncovered, it was in fact something that broke the already cracked education system and bureaucracy.      Like most other scams, the Vyapam scam also was unearthed way after its inception and many bouts of execution. The very first traceable FIR registered in this matter was way back in 1995 in the district of Chattarpur in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Ever since, there were multiple cases of impersonation. But the case formally broke in 2013, when 20 impersonators were arrested after which, on 16 th  July 2013, the leader of this organized racket, Jagdish Sagar, was arrested. But that wasn’t the end.      The case took innumerable twists, each adding a new dim

The Lame Gamer

PC versus Consoles! A debate rocking the gaming community since ages! Let’s have a go at it. Bear in mind what you read further shall be “RAW”. As RAW as uncooked meat! RAW with the arrogance of a PC Gamer who looks down upon the Console peasants as inferior beings. Because it shall be portraying how stupid and ignorant console gamers are. How crappy consoles are! How valid and apt the terms “Console Peasants” and “PC Master Race” are! Now if you are a console peasant reading this, be ready to have an epiphany about your stupidity. I am a true blue blood PC gamer and “I’ma be shuttin’ yu console gamurz up”. I was in 4 th grade when I purchased my first gaming console. The PS2! Yes I was naïve back then. Pardon me for this sin that I committed because ever since, I am trying to get rid of the taint this act of mine had inflicted upon me. Having broken my controller within a month of having purchased the console, I have had that waste of money locked in my cupboard ever si

The Blank Sheets

 “You can’t skip this Salman Khan movie just to watch that stupid Jamie Oliver Show. X auntie’s Facebook post says the message behind it is eye-opening.” “Shut up already about Greece dude, I need to tell you about how much of a pain this random girl is.” “How dare you worry about the systems based on oppression and not care about bettering your outer appearance that’s not going to last that long anyway?” * Uncomfortable silence at dinner tables across the country * . . . This year we bring to you, THE BLANK SHEET: OF AN UNTERRIFIED TEENAGER, a blog about things that deserve attention by someone that is the most condescendence-worthy inconvenience and the most petrifying fear of today’s average adult: A TEENAGER WITH POLITICAL OPINIONS. * Aunties sitting at kitty party let out a collective gasp * Don’t get us wrong. We are not here to rant about how misunderstood we are. Or how ignored a lot of times. We aren’t saying that we know everything about

VIRUS MAKERS

Everyone must have heard of Anti-Virus companies who fight all the viruses and malware on your computer to protect all of your data. These companies have huge teams of people who work to keep our computers virus free. But now let enlighten you with an obtrusive plot twist that this particular story has... These huge anti-virus companies not only have people working to protect your data but they also do retain a team creating those viruses popularly known as ‘Virus Makers’. The virus makers creates various new viruses and improvise on the old ones so that Virus Fighters can work on how to protect the computers against the same. It’s just like ‘The Virus Makers working for the Virus Fighters’. It is well known that Norton, McAfee and the other Anti-Virus companies hire known virus creators and hackers to work for them. I think the logic of this is just that they want someone who can think of the next step in virus attacks. This being said you have to have a person whose in

Wired Gigs - Sound Engineers

Have you ever thought of the one who handles or the one behind the background score of a singer?  A song cannot be famous only because of the singer or its lyrics but a major role is played by the sound engineers the backhand or the enhancers of all these famous singers. An audio engineer is concerned with the recording, manipulation, mixing and reproduction of sound. Many audio engineers creatively use technologies to produce sound for film, radio, television, music, electronic products and computer games. Alternatively, the term audio engineer can refer to a scientist or professional engineer who holds a B.Sc. or M.Sc. who designs, develops and builds new audio technologies working within the field of acoustical engineering. Sound Engineers set up and operate audio and video equipment, including microphones, sound speakers, video screens, projectors, video monitors, and recording equipment. They also connect wires and cables and set up and operate sound and mixing boar

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

#YOLO is the only reason I could watch this movie. “Must reach the end....must survive....must finally start hating Yash Raj movies”, my mind muttered, finding this ordeal more complicated than an exercise of integration. The urban dictionary defines any character with the name Raj as “A Scottish term for someone going crazy with rage”, subtly describing my state of mind while watching this movie.      So, when the lad and lass had their final, super awkward conversation, two ridiculously paradoxical situations are created. Simran plays the Friend card in a hilariously inconsiderate way. All she said was “Friends?” as she politely asked him to return to the friend zone after increasing his hopes. You could see Raj’s agonized soul in his eyes. His will power permitted him to reply with “Hmm...” As Simran smiled, looking accomplished, you can feel “Hum pe ye kisne, hara rang dala, khushi ne hamari hame maar dala” play on full blast like there is no end, in Raj’s heart.    Raj walks

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin William. Gaddafi came up with this champion in
