We have been independent for seventy years now they say; we have fought for our nation they say; citizens of India should be grateful for all the sacrifices made they say but\u2026 are we really independent yet?<\/p>
\u201cWhat about the billions of money we are in debt for? What about all the foreign alliances that we need to be able to grow faster? What about all the corrupt public servants who won\u2019t let us prosper as a nation?\u201d enquired my intellect.<\/p>
According to me, a happy-go-lucky girl in her late teens, freedom actually means to be able to pursue my dreams without giving in to parental or financial pressure. It means being strong enough to question the government of all the wrong doings without having to worry about any circumstances. It means to endeavour against anti-nationalists who in my perspective are seen everywhere\u2026 they are racists, sexists, narrow minded people and at the top of them all stereotypes!<\/p>
My personal perception of freedom is being able to talk to my parents about the guy I like, being able to dress as I like without having to worry about anyone commenting anything. Convincing people that food doesn't have anything to do with what caste I belong to. The happiness of not being called a \u201ctomboy\u201d when I tend to be loud, strong or initiative. Factually, most girls in the country don\u2019t have such freedom.<\/p>
Having said all this, I don\u2019t mean that freedom is being irresponsible. It is to me the privilege of being myself without inducing harm to my motherland and not tolerating anyone doing so. Striving hard towards what drives the country to excel in all fields. Helping out the flaws of fellow citizens and not bearing a blind eye towards what\u2019s unjust. Putting superlative efforts into doing or being what the nation needs me to be.Acting as an adult yet enjoying myself the perks of being childlike. Knowing and making people know that everyone has their own rights equally.<\/p>
This is my take on independence and freedom. I am sure this is all a young adult has to say.<\/p>"}]
In our country, we have been provided with some fundamental rights. These fundamental rights provide us with <\/p>
But have we really been given these freedoms? By listening to the word \u2018freedom\u2019 people might start making their own perceptions. Some may take it lightly and thus misuse it while the others might take it greatly and make ample use of it. It depends entirely on an individual as to how he or she wants to take his freedom ahead. <\/p>
People everywhere dream of freedom. Children might think of freedom as a license to do whatever they want to do and there wouldn\u2019t be any restrictions on them. Teenagers might think of freedom as being able to go to college all by themselves, carrying and showing off their expensive mobile phones and a license of skipping lectures. <\/p>

I believe that freedom has both good and bad effects. It can either make a person or break a person. It can make a person independent but it can also make a person get influenced <\/p>
To me freedom is getting an opportunity to know who I really am and discovering my strengths and weaknesses. By this would help me to be strong and face the world without any fears because then I\u2019ll know myself in and out. <\/p>
Freedom to me is living the way I want to, wearing clothes that I like, eating what I relish, speaking to whomsoever I want to or going to wherever my mind wanders to. This freedom would allow me to be stress free and enjoy each and every second that I live in this world.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1502779696066","data":"5992a1062a3b1"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1502779701932","data":"

Freedom is to let them be alone without injuring or killing them resulting in ecological imbalance and loss of natural beauty. <\/p>

But does freedom really exist? Our country has lost the freedom as time has gone by. To some, freedom is still nothing but a dream. We say that we attained freedom a long time ago but are we making effective use of it? <\/p>
Even after 70 years of attaining independence, we need huge army forces to protect our country because one can never know when someone comes over to strikes of the entire country. We still don\u2019t have the safety assurance that we can live without war and violence. People are celebrating Independence Day worldwide but do they really know what freedom is?<\/p>
A majority of the people do not express what they feel either due to some pressure or societal stereotypes pushed down their throats since birth. Boys cannot cry when they want to because they shouldn\u2019t. Girls do not express love first because it\u2019s the boys who should go down their knees and if that doesn\u2019t happen maybe the girl would never be actually able to express her true feeling ever. People still don't know the actual meaning of freedom to express.<\/p>

Freedom begins with every individual and then reaches the country. In our case our country is free but the citizens are still struggling to find their inner freedom. <\/p>
Looking at the bigger picture we do see India as a free country with amazing rights and benefits but when you magnify the scenario you know that people are still caged up within themselves. <\/p>
All this forces me to think about various people that suffer and the world that continues to neglect them. I can only hope for the best and let time be the one to give freedom to everyone.<\/p>"}]
President of the United States of America, Donald Trump in the early days of August, conveyed his endorsement to an immigration policy bill presented by Sen. Tom Cottons and Sen. David Perdue. This preliminary piece of legislation is set to impose large cutbacks on legal immigration to the United States from all corners of the world. Immigration policy was a big talking point in the current President\u2019s campaign during the 2016 Elections. His proposed 20 feet wall on the south coast with Mexico was something of a catalyst in bringing unconfirmed voters to his side. Mass influx of drugs and \u2018bad hombres\u2019, as he called them, are still a realistic problem in the country. <\/p>
Illegal immigration is and has been one of the very few clear political stances to come from the Trump camp, ever since the electoral win. Legal immigration however has evaded much of the attention for a little while, but not for long. Earlier in the year, headliners such as the \u201cMuslim Ban\u201c took the world by storm although them failed to impose any huge changes or security measures to safeguard a possible movement of non-state actors into the American borders. This immigration bill, named the RAISE Act, however, is targeted at cutting down legal immigration by almost 50% in the ensuing decade, with an immediate cut of around 41% within this year. The bill proposes the implication of a skill based merit system to grant visas to applicants. <\/p>
What is a skill based merit system?<\/p>
In this system, one would need a cumulative of at least 30 points to be eligible to apply for immigration. It scores on factors such as age, highest educational degree, English ability, salary offered, investment plans in the US and a couple of smaller additional checkboxes such as winning a Nobel Prize or an Olympic Medal in the past 8 years. <\/p>
For example, people under the age of 18 score 0 points, <\/p>
18-21, 6 points<\/p>
22-25, 8 points<\/p>
26-30, 10 points, with a following decrease in points as age grows, with everyone above the age of 50 getting 0 points. <\/p>
In terms of education, a US professional degree or doctorate in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics would yield you the most number of points (13) and anything less than a high school diploma awards the lowest (0)<\/p>
Individuals with good English proficiency are pushed forward in this system, although the metric for judging this proficiency is yet to attain clarity. <\/p>
If you happen to have a job offer worth more than $150,000 you\u2019ll be awarded 13 points, while anything less than $78,000 gives a 0. <\/p>
Small business investors in foreign currency to the US would also see a positive response under this system. And no, the Nobel Prize and Olympic Medal aren\u2019t exaggerations. If you happen to have either of those in the back pocket, you\u2019d see an automatic 25 points (Nobel Prize or comparable award) or 15 (Olympic medal) being awarded to the tally. Just a small observation, there have been only two recipients of the Nobel Prize before the age of 30. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1502651791113","data":"5990a60df28c1"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1502651794410","data":"
What does this mean for the regular Indian?<\/p>
Most Indian immigrants to the US do so with a singular objective of attaining a foreign Masters, which in most cases lies in the field of science in general. For anyone else, students of art, literature, business professionals etc. this might pose an uphill battle. The addition of wages on a hierarchal scale for approval is something that has existed as an unsaid truth over the past years, but now it probably is as clear as day. The more you make in dollar, the easier it is to keep making it. At the same time, students who decide on working via a consultancy might face more obstacles than usual, with more regulations discouraging the practice. <\/p>
You can check if your current point tally can make the cut for immigrating to the US here. <\/p>
The bill is expected to fail tremendously. Members of Republican and Democratic Party have voiced their concerns over the cosmopolitan bias that clouds the very nature of this bill. It is with a level of certainty and hope I say, surely not, a piece of legislation can\u2019t be this openly insulting of the vast spectrum of individuals willing to live their lives in the borders of the United States. On a more comical note, by endorsing a bill asking specifically for people effluent in English and highly qualified in their job, did the POTUS disqualify himself too? <\/p>"}]
STEPHEN CHERLA <\/b>is the student of SPHOORTHY ENGINEERING COLLEGE, I might fall short of words while saying about him, he is the MAN ON FIRE. To start with where what and why am talking about him. He is born in the year 1996 may 23rd to the proud parents C. Bhasker and C. Vandana.<\/p>Intelligence to me isn't just being book-smart or having a college degree, it's trusting your gut instincts, being intuitive, thinking outside the box, and sometimes just realizing that things need to change and being smart enough to change it.
Stephen is just like this, a person who believes in himself and can change things from wrong to right. Talking about his life, he had a pretty good start at the college, blessed with good supportive friends and most importantly the faculty members who were very supportive at each and every step he has taken in his life to grow into a better individual. He loves playing video games and watching animation which made him attracted towards it and as a result, Graphics and Animation was all he wanted to do in his life (A person's hobbies can even turn into their life ambitions). He started exploring and learning new technologies like Ar and Vr and started learning new tools like 3D modelling softwares, Game rendering Engines like unity and unreal. He is the person who not only tried and succeeded in developing himself but also trained his juniors which in turn made them to develop many projects . His strategy is that the goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover and to create men who are capable of doing new things. Our college is one of the pioneers which developed prototypes\/products on Ar and Vr and this was possible just because of STEPHEN and his crew. The sky is the limit for his dreams, he not only dreams but strives hard to develop his dreams into reality. He along with his friends did few projects with which our college got recognized even more. <\/p>
THEIR PROJECTS WERE<\/b>:<\/p>
1. COVER UP- Automated Car Cover<\/p>
2. ARCHY BOOKS- Augmented Reality Educational Books<\/p>
3. ARCHVIZ- Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Architecture Visualization.<\/p>
4. SMART PROMO- Platform to create your own Augmented Reality Advertising Campaigns.<\/p>

As a student of Sphoorthy Engineering College, he was even awarded the Best Student award and Best project award for the year 2016-2017.\n\nI believe that people make their own luck by great preparation and good strategy as luck is where the opportunity meets preparation. This way he met Mr Jignesh Thalasila the founder of Startup Loop Reality which is a Virtual Reality based startup. He decided to work with him after his Btech and as a result he got a chance to work as an intern with that company for 2months. \nNevertheless Anna your really a true inspiration for many students out there .

1.\tSHIVA TRILOGY <\/u><\/b>(Immortals of Meluha, The Secret of the Nagas, Oath of the Vayuputras)<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>
I never showed much interest in Mythological books but this has given a perspective of mythological books and made me get attracted towards these kinda novels.<\/p>
Coming to what this is about<\/b>:: Amish Tripathi<\/b> weaves a splendid but totally fictional and fantasied account of Shiva's travails. The legends of the past have been recreated and God's are humanized. I loved all the 3 books with the second one being my most favorite. These are those kind of books which i have completed in just one day. When it comes to mythological stories, most of us are used to reading tales that usually comprise the age old depiction of good vs evil. I liked the idea of how Amish took the middle path \"Asuras are not evil. They are just different from the Devas\"<\/b>.The main reason why I feel these books are good is because of its uniqueness, the way tension arises between people and especially anxiety in me ;) , the dilemmas that Shiva undergoes and the way suspense builds at the end. Without revealing much I would say that it traces beautifully the journey of Shiva from being a tribal. <\/p>
Suggestion: Get all the three books at a time or else you will die out of anxiety :P <\/p>

Ah! Sidney Sheldon<\/b> can I marry your brain?. This had to be in the top 5 list as this was the first book with which made me go crazy for novels. If it is Sidney i just grab the book without even knowing what it is about. It is actually pretty difficult to choose among his books as I had to choose only one. The endings of his books are just unpredictable. The mystery in this novel lies within a woman named Ashley Patterson who suffers from multiple disorder personalities. The other 2 personalities were created when she was raped by her father. It's better to say less about this books as i might spoil the anxiety. <\/p>

I finally understand the point they were trying to make all those years ago. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1502361947050","data":"598c3caa306c3"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1502361949990","data":"
Of course, The Matrix is a world wide phenomenon today, the Wachowski Sisters gave the world a movie that, at the time, was so complex to us who had never experienced a movie with such nuance and layers, it simply blew our minds. A running joke of the time was that nobody actually understood The Matrix, but people only pretended to do so. It was only with repeated viewings that I finally understood the point the Sisters were trying to make, and why the movie has become such an important cultural icon in many countries across the world. <\/p>
Unfortunately, Indian movies have only managed to be 'inspired' by it's action sequences only, which in my opinion are just there to advance the plot, and not the multi-layered story telling of the movie. <\/p>
The premise is simple enough, human beings are being used as batteries to power an entire city full of machines, and that The Matrix is a construct, a dream world that the people being used as energy sources are put into so they do not understand that something is wrong and continue about their lives as if nothing has happened. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1502362401124","data":"598c3cc0955f2"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1502362402718","data":"
But it's the questions that it asks us. When the movie released, many people honestly became paranoid of living in The Matrix themselves. The concept is so real and so close to home, it was bound to be terrifying. What if The Matrix is real and everything you're seeing today is just lines of code written by an intelligent machine? Everyone you've ever loved, touched, everything you've ever eaten, every laugh or smile you've had on your face, what if all of it was false? <\/p>
Since we're short on time and I would love to talk about this movie on a later date, let us get the most obvious question the movie asks you out of the way: Assuming you know what the real world is like and you were pulled out of the Matrix in the first place, would you choose to wake up and fight for survival, or would you chose to continue believing the lie, living it and forgetting everything about humanity's struggle?<\/p>
Chew on that. <\/p>
The Matrix trilogy has been recently added on Netflix. Now would be an excellent time for a rewatch, if you're interested. Alternatively, The Wachowaski Sister's Netflix original Sense8 is also a fantastic watch. <\/i><\/p>"}]
Everybody wants a good life but nobody wants to struggle or work hard!The thing we expect is like surmount! All we need to do is put our efforts and struggle for it!But expecting something without hard work is like drilling the earth to reach the other end! Let me give you an example! There is a guy who is graduating in some college and he needs to travel a foot distances to reach his college, but he is being graduated, so going college by walk to him is like \"what are you speaking about! Is that my status?.\"....to go by walk!? He doesn't want to go college by walk indeed goes for a morning walk, because he needs to stay fit and needs a fat-free body... but his thoughts aren't status free!. And some people go the gym for a workout and they'll be like.. oh damn! I should work out now, ugh 20 more reps, it is hurting! If we have these kinds of thoughts, then we'll never succeed! Even Lord Rama left his kingdom on Dasaratha's order and to say in real life, Abdul Kalam studied under the street lights, but he never expected that he'll become a scientist! The day you hug your priorities and status, one fine day you will be surely kicked back by them! First love the work you want to achieve, without strategy you can't! My dad usually says.. \"LIVE A KING AND WORK LIKE A LABOUR.That really inspires me! It is a kinda boost! <\/p>\n"}]
Hey! How you doin'?<\/p>
Assuming that you have access to anything since you have Google, Facebook, Youtube, Quora?<\/p>
Well, mate. This is just the 1%(Not exactly :'3) of the web.<\/p>
The internet contains at least 4.7 billion websites that have been indexed by search engines.That huge number barely scratches the surface of what's really out there, however. The rest is known as the deep web, which is 400 to 500 times larger than the surface internet, according to some estimates. Most of that is made up of innocent content, such as emails, social media profiles, subscription sites, and anything that you need to fill out a form to access. But because the deep web is hidden from search engines, some people use it for more illegal purposes.<\/p>
<b> The dark web is the subset of the deep web that's known as a haven for criminal activity. <\/b><\/p>
Users can only access sites on the dark web through special software that encrypts their activity and routes them through random nodes to get to where they're going, making it harder for anyone to track them. Still, even accessing the dark web can be enough to set off red flags at the FBI, and it's easy to make mistakes that can tip off law enforcement. Uncover more mysteries of the deep web and the dark web with the videos below.<\/p>
