Friends was introduced to the audience way back in 1994. A story of six friends living in New York changed how people viewed television sitcoms. Friends brought about a revolution among the masses, and increased viewership to new record levels. Fans were left in tears after the series finale in 2004, wondering what was left to watch. Then came another series with a bang called 'How I Met Your Mother', in 2005. With five friends living in similar lines in New York, it garnered a new group of fans around the world, and with it, a new topic of discussion called 'HIMYM or F.R.I.E.N.D.S'?<\/p>
<\/p>
If one tries to draw a comparison between both the sitcoms, Friends scores a wee bit higher according to popular polls. It is far more funnier, and is a complete roller coaster ride throughout the ten seasons. Each one of the six characters in Friends teaches us a few important life lessons, creating a deep connection between the viewers and the fans. But HIMYM is far more realistic than Friends if one is brutally honest. Friends created illogical funny situations out of nowhere, but HIMYM explored human relationships, the problems adults face in life and explores some harsh bitter truths of life. The creators of HIMYM always stated that it was never inspired from Friends, but fans have always done so since it's inception. Probably Friends offered the respite people needed from life, while HIMYM made people more aware of what was going on in their lives.<\/p>
Friends is purely only comical in it's truest sense, while a lot of people may disagree with it. Some people admit that HIMYM made them uncomfortable sometimes, but it was only because HIMYM showed the truth. Through research it has been found out that people who watched whichever show first, became a fan of it, and not the other one. This proves that creators of each show have managed to generate extreme levels of attachment of the show with their respective fans. These kinds of debates never ends, with each side providing new reasoning everyday. A fan of either show can only be thankful that he or she is fan of one of the greatest shows ever made.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1527611943333","data":"5b0d824216d3d"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1527611999305","data":"5b0d82a4ed9a9"}]
We all wake up with somethin' or we are used to waking up with something we are obssessed with or something we love.<\/p>\n
I wake up each morning with my long term goals and my comings.\nThe first thing I look at in the morning is my hair, and if you ask me I have been that over Obssessed lady never letting anyone have enough of my things.<\/p>\n
I dont let people get used to my fragrance so each time you meet me , you wont recognize it , at days I mix 2 and at days 3 because I dont just like to use one.<\/p>\n
My short comings and my fear of rejection and being disowned comes to me more often then less , and everytime I just look at my roots and never let myself look into the small things.<\/p>\n
How do you expect me to cut off the very thing I am in love with ?<\/p>\n
Frankly, you dont. <\/p>\n
But let us put this way at point in life it is important to give up your space and your fears and obssessions.\nYou are allowed to give up , cut off and move ahead from those things to just give yourself somethin' better.\nAt times you dont deserve that so that is how you give up upon those things.<\/p>\n
Cutting off your hair to let them next time grow a little longer, so that next time they grow out of bound without fear of objection and rejection.\nSo the next time you look at yourself you hope for better then this.\nEnough fair to cut off for a better and new you.\nTo givin' up that 2*2 comfort zone.<\/p>\n","id":"1527606863767","type":"txt"}]
There was a time when kids in India would eagerly wait every month for the next issue of the 'Tinkle'. Some of the 'lucky' ones subscribed to the comic, receiving it at their doorstep at the the beginning of each month, for the princely sum of Rs.240 per year. Others would hop on to the nearest bookstall, eager to grab the latest copy. This practice was common among the kids of the 90s and the 2000s. Another comic hugely popular since a long time was the Amar Chitra Katha. People used to buy ACM titles at Rs 1 or 2 in the sixties. Prices rose to around Rs 30 in the last decade, and now people buy it for as high as Rs.90 per title. Mr. Anant Pai, fondly called as 'Uncle Pai' sure did a great job in making the childhoods of Indian children one of the most memorable ones.<\/p>
Characters like Suppandi, Shikari Shambu,and Tantri the Mantri ruled the comic circles at one time. They transported the kids into a new imaginative world, be it the jungles where Kaalia the Crow and his friends lived, or the mystical lands of Jaanoo the Witch, the lazy villages where Pyarelal and Lajjo lived, or the comical situations of Ina Mina Myna Mo. Ajay the detective brought the new definition of 'cool' to children, and Butterfingers had the latest 'swag' in town. They all managed to make children an inch happier. Amar Chitra Katha, on the other hand, brought to life historical figures, ancient tales of kings and queens, and the lives of freedom fighters. In a simple manner, they all managed to enrich children with the rich history of India's culture and traditions.<\/p>
These comics are still available today, even though at exorbitant prices. It is unfortunate that children are least interested in theses comics, and only in social media these days. After the demise of Uncle Pai, executives in the publication house have also not managed to keep up to the standards. It is very important that children have knowledge about their own country and have an imaginative and creative mind. They are the citizens of tomorrow, and shaping them appropriately is the need of the hour.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1527521168842","data":"5b0c1fa07879b"}]
Dr. Jatin Mipun, belong to the Mishing tribe. Did his M.A. and Phd. in sociology from Dibrugarh university. He writes poems and short stories in Assamese languages, besides research paper for learned journals. Books in Assamese language are \u201cMiksijili (novel)\u201d, \u201cKankanar Prithibit (short story)\u201d, \u201cAsom Darshan (essay)\u201d, and \u201cDupor Nishar Bahit (poems)\u201d. \u201cMiksijili\u201d his novel is based on socio-cultural life of Mishing which was awarded prestigious Ambikagiri Raichoudhury Award of Asom Sahitya Sabha, the novel was also telecaste as serial from Guwahati Doordarshan, Assam. The book actually deals with the major tribe of Assam i.e. The Misings an attempt to understand the process of acculturation, communication and development among the Missing tribe of Assam. The book deals with the concept of \u2018acculturation\u2019 during late nineteenth century where different authors gave their different views on acculturation like Powell (1880), about \u2018changing indigenous traditions under the influence of civilized people\u2019. The book also portrays the social life, clan and kinship organization, Marriage, Religion, different festival, about the folk dance and folk song, political life of Mishing. The Acculturation among the Mishings which mainly deals with the religious contacts which made the Mishings the part of the regional culture and the great tradition of Hinduism and also talks about the food habit, the language spoken, the house pattern, the dress pattern and the tools and implements. The author has been successful to write about the Mising community because each covers a different aspect of the Mising community and moreover he was able to put up statistical data for the readers. The chapters deal deeply with the topics concerned. The book happens to be catchier because of the different case studies that the author has did keeping in mind the different topics the book deals with. And also at the end of the book he has showed the interview schedule that he has used to interview people in the villages. According to me, the author has done justice by studying the Mising community because he has used each and every detail from the name of the food for example apong, Adin (meat), ango(fish) etc and what are the new things that they has adopted in their culture. Although he has use some of the concepts but this book can be read to know the Mishing community of Assam. I am happy that I have taken out little time to read this book which was a profitable and enjoyable experience.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1527270543318","data":"5b084de487648"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1527270564957","data":"5b084dfb3b33e"}]

What does Cyber mean?<\/b><\/p>
Cyber is a prefix used in a growing number of terms to describe new things that are being made possible by the spread of computers. Anything related to the Internet also falls under the cyber category. <\/p>
Few examples of this are<\/p>
Cyberspace- A metaphor for describing the non-physical terrain created by computer systems. Online systems, for example, create a cyberspace within which people can communicate with one another (via e-mail), do research, or simply window shop. Unlike real space, though, exploring cyberspace does not require any physical movement other than pressing keys on a keyboard or moving a mouse.<\/p>
Cyberculture- A slang term used to describe the emerging culture of those who are networked in cyberspace. It is a society of people who use computer networks for communication.<\/p>
Cyber-security - Cyber-security refers to the technologies and processes designed to protect computers, networks and data from unauthorized access, vulnerabilities and attacks delivered via the Internet by cyber criminals.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1527507644917","data":"5b0bebd96b291"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1527508038260","data":"
Why is this important?<\/b><\/p>
Network outages, hacking, computer viruses, and similar incidents affect our lives in ways that range from inconvenient to life-threatening. As the number of mobile users, digital applications, and data networks increase, so do the opportunities for exploitation.<\/p>
As markets grow more global and complex, so too are the threats through cyber intrusion, denial of service attacks, manipulation, misuse by insiders and other cyber misconduct. <\/p>
Cyber security, also referred to as information technology security, focuses on protecting computers, networks, programs, and data from unintended or unauthorized access, change, or destruction. Government agencies, the military, corporations, financial institutions, hospitals, and other groups collect, process, and store a great deal of confidential information on computers and transmit that data across networks to other computers. With the growing volume and sophistication of cyber attacks, ongoing attention is required to protect sensitive business and personal information, as well as safeguard national security.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1527510871849","data":"5b0bf75d11642"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1527511098041","data":"

Life is all about Love, Inspiration, Faith and Excitement. There are many small things in everyone's life that makes it beautiful. The fact that we are born with two legs, two hands, two eyes, ears and all the essential parts which helps us to enjoy and feel nature makes our life beautiful.<\/p>\n
Life is about being happy and making others life beautiful. \"Life is simply what you make it to be\". With full of challenges, life wants us to enjoy it and simultaneously wants endurance and perseverance from success and failure, both should be accepted by us happily. <\/p>\n
Usually, we expect a lot from it, but when we are unable to achieve, we curse ourselves and only the negative side is seen by us. As the famous proverb \" A half-filled glass or half-empty...\"reminds me to such situation<\/p>\n"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1527008541987","data":"

Life isn't all about taking selfies and uploading them in social-networking sites or hanging out with friends. Sometimes, it's about spending time alone in your room thinking some random thoughts.

We live each day with the knowledge that one day, we will die.<\/p>\n
We are fascinated by the materialistic things and in this race, we forget to enjoy our present which makes our lives beautiful.<\/p>\n

Fairy tail:\nThe anime is set in a fantasy land called Fiore. It follows the story of a magic guild named Fairy Tail which is named after the question ‘Do fairies have Tails?’. The anime is all about friendship and companionship. Sounds boring when I put it that way but the anime is awesome. I am enthusiastically waiting for the last season which is going to be released this year yet dreading saying goodbye to fairy tail.<\/p>\n","id":"1526922884549","type":"txt"},{"data":"5b02fdce71f32","id":"1526922884550","type":"img"},{"data":"

The main force behind the economy of Assam is agriculture. Tea plantations constitute a major part of this segment. The tea industry in Assam is one of the oldest , being established over 150 years ago. A Scottish man, Robert Bruce introduced tea in Assam in the 19th century. He learned about tea being grown in the area from Maniram Dewan, who was one of the first Assamese tea planters. He got in touch with the Singpho tribe who grew tea , and eventually established the industry in 1823. The first tea company, The Assam Company, was established in 1839 and in 1845, the company was granted a Deed of British Parliament and was awarded the Royal Charter by Queen Victoria in recognition of its pioneering excellence. The tea industry of Assam progressed by leaps and bounds over the years but faces a number of challenges today.<\/p>
The Indian Tea Association was established in 1881 which further brought the interests of all Indian tea producers together. With the advent of the Tocklai Experimental Station in Jorhat in 1911, various research and yield prospects for the industry increased . The Guwahati Tea Auction Centre was also opened in 1970, which created a new era for marketing of Assam tea. Today, Assam accounts for more than half of India's tea production. The climate and soil ideal for growing tea is found in Assam, resulting in the estates of Assam producing millions of pounds of tea each year. The 'tippy' Assam tea is considered in high regard all over the world and a major portion of it is exported to other countries.<\/p>
The tea estates in Assam constitute a major chunk of people living within the plantations. The colonial style lifestyle followed by the estate managers is still followed today. The management of the estates live in colonial bungalows, with experienced staff managing the premises. Sport meetups, regular weekends in clubs for 'drinks', and cinema shows constitute their lifestyle. Most of them excel in sports like tennis and golf. Games like Polo were also played before, but is hardly seen today. No wonder, planters after retirement have numerous tales to tell about the 'bygone days in tea'.<\/p>
The tea industry is labour intensive, and with it arises a number of problems. Problems like high wages, and climate change constantly worry the industry these days. The government must work in cooperation with the industry and try to preserve this grand old industry full of culture and traditions.<\/p>

'Happiness', isn't this the word which we crave for? We spend our entire lives rushing behind the materialistic things and thinking them to lead towards happiness, but do we really know what it means? <\/p>
Happiness is not just a word , it is an eternal , unbound emotion. It is a priceless feeling which makes you delighted , bubble with joy, brings a smile and shine to your face and a lot more. In simple words, it is the opposite of sadness. None of us would ever like to be unhappy , which means , we always wish for happiness.<\/p>
Happiness can never be bought, earned or stolen. It is the most blissful feeling in the world. <\/p>
There might be different definitions and outlooks for happiness. Let us have a look at few of those.<\/p>
To an introvert, happiness would probably mean a cup of coffee, books and self companionship. <\/p>
On the other hand, for an extrovert, the meaning of happiness takes the opposite side. It means to talk to different people, to hangout with them, to create innumerable bonds.<\/p>
For a child, it probably means to be able to throw stuff in various corners of the room whereas for a rich person it means to buy and own every new catchy thing.<\/p>
Happiness on a larger scale means to have a happy soul , to forget your worries and enjoy each moment. Due to the busy and competitive lives we live , we are forgetting the true meaning of happiness. This is a reminder for you all to find your happiness in whatever you do or to be a source of your own happiness rather than depending on any other external factor. Remember, nothing can dim a soul that shines from within, and our happiness lies in our hands. <\/p>
Forget your tensions and laugh a little more, rejoice and be grateful for each day of your life. There's a little soul in our bodies, keep it flourishing, always.<\/p>"}]
Parmanu is just one more 'patriotic' movie added to Bollywood's cap. It tries hard to portray the events leading up to the Nuclear test in Pokhran in 1998, but somehow fails along the way. As in the beginning itself, it is shown that the movie is 'inspired' from true events, one shouldn't have expected much from the movie too. The movie is completely made in Bollywood style, with the characters moving in slow motion with music in the background, narrow escape scenes, and some completely illogical situations. In one scene, it is shown that an IAS ofiicer is dismissed from service, and he goes to Mussoorie and starts teaching UPSC aspirants. This scene being illogical because, firstly he was suspended, not fired from service. An IAS officer receives full salary under suspension, and hence his attempts to make ends meet does not make sense. This is one of the many absurd things shown in the movie.<\/p>
An IAS officer who is the son of an army officer, creates a masterplan to make India a nuclear state. Where this idea originated and how it did, is completely excluded from the movie. A corrupted senior officer suspends him in the process, and he goes under cover for three years, only to be recalled to service when the government changes in the Centre. He creates a brigade of people, inspired by the Pandavas of the Mahabharata, and makes a plan, hoping to dupe the American spy satellites as well. What follows are the die hard efforts to make the plan succeed test India's nuclear missile. The film also explores the officer's personal life as well, involving his relationship with his family. A series of misunderstandings are also created, with him constantly creating excuses to hide his operations, hurting his personal life in the process. Obviously there are scenes in the film, which seem impossible, and completely 'filmy', but the film succeeds in creating patriotism for one's country, if that is what the film intended to do.<\/p>
It is not a perfect film, but tries to cover an incident which was extremely important to project the country as a superpower. In the times when none of the superpowers were with India and India was left alone to stand on it's own, it explored this extremely risky venture and ultimately succeeded. It was high time a film was made on this incident, and the film succeeded partially, even though not on the authenticity of the events leading up to the nuclear test.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1527271739145","data":"5b0852904f9eb"}]
