I'm putting my GRE education to good use but in case you're confused, Dissonance means lack of harmony between musical notes, strictly speaking, but it is also used as a method to denote disagreements between two people, parties or friends. Sadly, dissonance is unavoidable in life, it is bound to happen to each and everyone of us, between friends, parents, partners, both business and personal. The world wouldn't go forward without dissonance; as good as it is to always have someone with you that agrees with every thought you have (and vice versa), disagreements lead to have a look again at your plans, or your beliefs. That is, of course, if you allow yourself to listen to the other party. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1501243263458","data":"597b2c15585ee"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1501243265518","data":"
The problem with people is that they are sometimes too entrenched in their beliefs, beliefs they never had any reason to change. Take the example of feminism, boys and men who never had to live their life as a woman simply won't understand what it is like to be a woman, and why women care so much about feminism. The misunderstanding of the term has become so great that every time someone who doesn't understand feminism hears the word, their mind automatically shuts down and they refuse to process any further information, which is completely opposite to progress. <\/p>
You'll notice the same with many others, when it comes to sensitive topics such as religion or personal beliefs. It is easier to ignore facts when, up until that point in your life, you've never had any reason to question it in the first place! <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1501243554092","data":"597b2c335b9e7"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1501243556281","data":"
Human progress cannot continue if we shut ourselves off from ideas, ideas that we could potentially learn from and make ourselves better. In the words of the venerable V from V for Vendetta, ideas are bulletproof, and in the words of Mr. Cobb from Inception, an idea planted deep in one's mind can spread like wild fire through their brain, often consuming them in the process. Shutting off people from ideas can often cause them to manifest in different, sometimes dangerous, ways. That's no way to go. <\/p>
I write this because I know the state of engineering colleges in Hyderabad. They're more factories than places where ideas can be exchanged, and if this offends you, I only have one question to ask you: why does this offend you? Probably because I'm calling you out on your clamp down on students having rights or exchanging ideas, however if you're offended because you already do all this and yet I'm being unfair, I apologise. <\/p>
We need more 'woke' engineers in the world. This can only happen if engineering colleges allow of dissonance, give different ideas a platform to debate and talk. I was lucky to study in one such college, but I worry for the rest. <\/p>"}]
Often people say that humans are the best creation of this world. But, for those who have ever owned a pet at least once in their life would actually object the sentence and re term it as 'animals are the best creation in the world'.<\/p>
Animals come in different categories and the two main classifications are what we studied in biology 101. They're wild and as well as domestic. Domestic animals are those which you can grow a pet and take care of them by teaching them different tricks and training them wisely. It can be dogs, cats, cows, birds etc. They show us so much love and affection that they are not so harsh and rude as humans.Wild animals are those which we can see in different sanctuaries and especially while passing through a deep and dark forest. You can actually see twinkling and bright eyes lurking around you while you pass by. There are often poachers hunting down and killing animals so as to get their skin and use it for their industry in bringing up belts, purses etc. The crocodiles and deer skin are most wanted because of the greed of humans that does not make them reach anywhere other than with a bad reputation.Animals are on the verge of extinction that because of the irresponsibility of the humans. There are homeless dogs running around the streets of our nation which often results in the killing of these poor souls. All they need is some good food and a place to sleep that would hold their horses together and won't cause much disturbance to the humans. There are often activist groups organized by PETA , animal foundation rights so that these makeup tests can be prevented because of they actually use animal as the specimen and test their product. So, when the issue came in to notice they started working for the protection of animal rights. They never speak or say their feelings but the pain they suffer while under going all these harsh treatments are often a cry for help. But we only care about ourselves so we ignore. Because humans were always the best when it came to ignorance.<\/p>
Love and take care of animals as they were the initial creation when the earth was just a newbie planet. With so much of evolution, we see them in their present form. We know how they came from and what their traits are. They're necessary for the existence of the world not just humans alone.<\/p>"}]

They say a job in the military is adventurous (apart from having the obvious satisfaction of serving the country), and Indian Navy Commander Abhilash Tomy's life and experiences stand testimony to that. Cdr Abhilash has the distinction of being the first Indian, second Asian, and seventy-ninth person in the history of humanity, to complete a solo, unassisted, non-stop circumnavigation under sail.<\/p>
In layman terms, he sailed around the world in a small boat powered only by wind, without stopping anywhere and without taking any form of assistance from anyone, in 151 days. Starting from Mumbai on November 1 2012, he crossed, from West to East, the Indian, Pacific, Southern and Atlantic Oceans, covering 23,100 nautical miles, rounding Cape Leeuwin in Australia, Cape Horn in South America and Cape of Good Hope in Africa, before reaching Mumbai on March 31, 2013. He has geared up for the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race 2018, which is a non-stop, single-handed, round-the-world yacht race; commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the first round-the-world yacht race of the same name, that took place in 1968.<\/p>
We caught up with him for a conversation about his first experiences and his preparations for future.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1543923243055","data":"
Q: Tell us about the upcoming race. <\/b><\/p>
A: Not many had attempted a solo, unassisted circumnavigation of the globe till 1968 and it was more of an ego thing. Only 2-3 people had sailed solo but it was with one stop. Whether someone will do it non-stop or not was a big question and the British newspaper Sunday Times had first announced this race in 1968. It got 9 participants but only one person, Sir William Robert Patrick \"Robin\" Knox-Johnston is the only person who finished it. They are now conducting the same race again in 2018, to mark 50 years of the race and I plan on taking part in it.<\/p>
They have very strict guidelines regarding what is allowed and what isn't. I am not allowed any kind of assistance from anyone, even taking a matchbox from a passing by boat will be considered as assistance. I am also not allowed to have any technology on board that didn't exist in 1968. So that means I am not allowed to have any GPS devices, internet devices, satellite phones, etc. The only exceptions are solar panels and LED lights for the cabins. I plan on finishing this voyage in 300 days.<\/p>
I will have to rely on celestial navigation (navigating using stars) and manually do all calculations. This method of navigation will involve a lot of factors, for instance, on my around-the-world trip, there were many instances when I didn't see the sun or stars for days because it was cloudy all the time! <\/p>
There are also design constraints on how the vessel should be built, it has to be about 10 meters long, in addition to several other constraints.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1543923243056","data":"5978842d5b01d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1543923243057","data":"
Q: You're mentally prepared for a journey like this now but the first time you did it, how did you prepare yourself mentally?<\/b><\/p>
A: I didn't need to prepare myself mentally for this as no one made me or ordered me to do this. I was offered the chance and I took it up willingly. I was self motivated to do this. There have been instances when situations or superiors made people undertake difficult voyages but this was nothing like that. I wanted to do it so I didn't need to specifically prepare myself mentally for this.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1543923243058","data":"
Q: How did you cope up with the loneliness that sets in, considering you spent 151 days last time?<\/b><\/p>
A: I never felt lonely on my journey, in fact, I felt a great sense of freedom. On that journey, I realised that our actions -big or small- are heavily influenced by people around us. Right from what we eat to when we eat to what we wear to what we think to what we speak, everything is governed by others. For instance, there were days when I just sat in a lungi reading a book on the boat, now this kind of freedom can't be experienced when you are with people. Your boss will want you to finish your work, your family will have expectations from you. You have to eat a certain meal at a certain time and what not. I spent a lot of time reading during the voyage.<\/p>
I got a fundamental experience of freedom that only solitude can give.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1543923243059","data":"597884106aa5d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1543923243060","data":"
Q: Tell us a bit about the vessel you used for your first journey and the one you are planning on using in this one.<\/b><\/p>
A: I did my first journey in INSV Mhadei, a 17 meter long sailing vessel. That had a single living cabin with 5 bunks and a small toilet. It was well equipped and had safety measures like a collision compartment in the front, which collapses in case of a collision, and retains a watertight scenario. I also took onboard tinned and freeze dried food, in addition to taking a couple of weeks worth fruit and vegetables. The best food I took on board were the MRE (Meal-Ready-To-Eat) by Defence Food Research Lab. They have an excellent Indian spread, from Chicken Biryani to Chapatis and dal. Imagine having Chapati and Dal in the middle of the Pacific (he laughs)!<\/p>

Everyone has a favorite food that craves you for more. Since, there are plenty of cuisines world wide. Your mouth will be given a wonderful treat so as to savor these wonderful things.<\/p>
My personal favorite is the pizza which hails from the Italian Cuisine. Which originated from a small place called Naples from Italy. It comes in various shapes and sizes i.e in small, medium and large which constitutes several pieces. A wheat bound structure which has all the nourishing veggies within them that waters your mouth and making a first timer wanting for more. There is always a great bond created between humans and pizza. If you are a passionate lover about cheese you must try out the quatro formaggi which constitutes four kinds of cheese in various forms. It literally just cleanses your palette as a whole. The Italian cuisine is known for their pizza baking as it just takes an hour to recreate the most beautiful moment in the history just by taking out the delicious cheesy pizza from the hot oven. It makes you more frantic when you see them bringing your pizza to the place where you're seated at. An amazing moment when you take the first bite when your taste buds explode with several flavors each of them constituting different scenarios and making you travel into another dimension. If you're really passionate in trying out Italian cuisine it's a must try.<\/p>
Be a foodie it is an amazing hobby, explore the various kinds as you may never know what is in store for you.<\/p>"}]
Indian films equate the frustrating and, in some cases, threatening habit of stalking to be perceived as an ordinary act of love. Keeping in mind the idea of \u2018if you wear a woman down enough, she\u2019ll give in\u2019 these films take courtship to a whole another level. Men are given leads in which they are scripted to liberally harass, annoy, and monitor every move of their female roles until they eventually surrender to their so-called projection of love. The problem lies where the youngers in our society translate actions shown in such movies as a traditional gender equation. Thus, making stalking seem normal to a large section of people. <\/p>
Sandesh Baliga, a 32-year-old Indian man studying in Australia, was one of the victims of this, rather, popular misconception among the Indian society. Baliga was trialled in court for stalking two women in a period of two years, one for eighteen months and another for four months. The court mentioned in the testimony that Baliga repeatedly called, texted, and referred both the women as his girlfriends, making them feel uncomfortable and extremely bothered. He later went on to justify that it was in fact Bollywood films that encouraged his stalking behavior. After thoughtfully analyzing the situation, the court declared Baliga as innocent, further stating his actions were caused by his influence of Bollywood movies making stalking seem accepting. <\/p>
Art is a major reflection of the society and while Bollywood films may not be responsible for all criminal activates, filmmakers should set a better benchmark for their viewers. Films such as R. Rajkumar or Darr do nothing but promote sadistic methods of gaining the girls attention through stalking and harassment. Instead of being so persistent, men must learn that little manners can take them a long way. All is fair in the name of love and war. Think again. <\/p>"}]
It was on a quiet afternoon in 2000, when I came home from school and I saw these strangers in my house, hooking up what seemed like a white TV and a white box next to it. Till that time, I had only seen images of this in books and in cartoons and I couldn't believe my eyes when I realised that we were getting a computer in the house. I (being the slightly retarded 8 year old) asked my grandfather, who had just retired from the Defence Department, if this really is a computer and he said yes and also warned me -in the stereotypical elder Indian warning kid not to touch expensive stuff- that I should be careful with it.<\/p>
The excitement died down a while later as the people who were hooking it up were taking ages to do it and by the time they finished it, I wasn't even interested in it. That's when my grandfather then called me and asked me to sit in front of the computer and with a series of clicks with the little white blob like device, he navigated through the rectangular start button on the bottom left corner of the screen and opened this wondrous software called MS Paint.<\/p>
As he handed it over to me and showed me the basics tools and more, I was ecstatic. For me, an 8 year old, that was like figuring out the secrets of the universe, being able to use a computer! He then showed me how to save what I drew and shut down the computer and after learning that, the sense of accomplishment that I felt on that day can't be paralleled ever in my life.<\/p>
For several afternoons after that, I progressively used the wonderful software ever day after school, starting off with squiggly lines and going on to draw simple boats and trees and more. For an artistically challenged person like me, who was frequently punished in drawing class and lost marks in biology for my lack of drawing skills, this was like a gift from the gods. MS Paint, was literally, a gift from the gods for me.<\/p>
Yesterday when I was on Facebook, looking for news, the news of Microsoft shutting down MS Paint popped up and honestly, it broke my heart a little bit; despite the fact that I now use a Macbook with no connect to MS Paint. But as I write this, another news popped up saying Microsoft is not shutting it down and instead, it will be available on the Windows Store. This is a slight consolation as MS Paint was something that always came with Windows, to the point of its existence being taken for granted.<\/p>
Nevertheless, Windows will never be the same again...<\/p>"}]
