As you walk home from your long day at college or work, you check your phone for notifications from your favourite social media website, you see that someone you trust has uploaded a picture that tells you a certain someone has done a certain something, the image presenting it in a way to incite outrage from you. You are scandalised and outraged, sometimes enough to share the information presented to you. <\/p>
Now, what was the mistake you made in the above paragraph? <\/p>
The veracity of the information presented to you on social media, especially by the ones you trust enough to not lie to you, is never checked, because why would someone like that lie, right? Whether the information shared or not was fake didn't matter to you, all that mattered was who shared it. This is dangerous trend in this day and age of instant information sharing: we know for a fact that people's opinions change depending on what they see on social media, therefore it becomes imperative for those with an agenda on mind to spread misinformation and discord using the tools that were, ironically, designed to make the world a smaller place. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1506664282540","data":"59cde4b28e3eb"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1506664284655","data":"
While the irony of this article reaching to you through social media isn't lost on me, considering social media platforms are very important to us, the need for using the platforms responsibly falls upon all our shoulders. Today, even to the most seasoned social media user and tech-savvy person, navigating the timeline or the feed has turned into something akin to navigating a minefield. There is so much fake information floating around, it has become ridiculous to the point of infuriating. Of course, there is always the option of turning off your phone or computer and walking away, but for those of us who need social media for work and to connect with people, the problem is omnipresent. If you are one such person, then this article is not for you. <\/p>
In a way, all of us have been 'hacked' through social engineering. Social engineering is a hacking technique employed by hackers that uses a form of psychological manipulation in order to lower your inhibitions so you may share information, private information, about yourself freely. You can read more about it by clicking here<\/a>. <\/p>So why do I say we've been hacked through social engineering? Because the cornerstone for spreading the fake news is not what it says, but who shares it. Socially aware and the more social media savvy users can often easily spot fake news, but for those who do not use it regularly, if a person with a large following happens to share an image or an article that is questionable in nature, the natural tendency is to believe that person because you think they are smart enough to tell what is real and what is fake, and this is dangerous. <\/p>You are, in essence, letting this person shape your narrative and how you see the world simply because you trust them not to lie. This leads to spreading of fake news and propaganda. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1506665552107","data":"59cde4d9bb360"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1506664847803","data":"The easiest way to spot this is your family WhatsApp group.

I remember. <\/p>
I remember the scent of incense floating through the house as I was roused from sleep early in the morning, I don't know what time it was, I hadn't learned reading the time yet. I was 5 years old, and I remember. <\/p>
The celebration of Dusshera is different in different parts of the country, so are the stories behind the festival. The advantage of growing up in different parts of the country, I later realised, was that I was exposed first hand to the various ideas behind the festivals that were common for all of us. Dusshera, also known as Dasara, is traditionally celebrated to signify the victory of good over evil; the idea remains the same but the characters involved change. For some, it is the celebration of the fierce warrior goddess Durga slaying the buffalo demon Mahisasura, for others, it is Lord Rama delivering the fatal blow to the Demon King of Sri Lanka, Ravana, winning the war and avenging the slight committed upon him and his wife, the Lady Sita. <\/p>
For a 5-year old child, however, it meant relatives and food. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1506512079850","data":"59ccdfc996b1d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1506512082230","data":"
I remember hating waking up early, but when I saw my favourite cousins in the house, I squealed with joy. Being the only child to my parents, my cousins had taken it upon themselves to be the siblings I never had. I remember asking to go out and play Cricket right away or to run down to the beach and throw sand at each other - although I'm pretty sure I was in my sand eating phase back then - my mother shot the plans down instantly. Nobody would be stepping out until Puja was done and nobody would be eating any food until it was offered to the Goddess. <\/p>
I still occasionally hum the prayer songs mom sang in honour of the warrior goddess. Mahisasura Mardini, in the hands of a competent singer, still remains an ethereal experience. At the age I was, my mother was the greatest singer in the world. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1506598815606","data":"PbY9giIk0mM"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1506513856545","data":"
Growing up in Mumbai, the days leading to Vijayadashami were filled with colour, blazing lights, smiles on people's faces and pretty dresses for everyone, especially kids like me. The most defining feature - and indeed the one that would appeal to a child brimming with energy - was Dandiya. <\/p>
Mumbai being the melting pot of the country and its close proximity to Gujarat (and the sizeable Gujarati population) had made Dandiya its own. The traditional folk dance from Gujarat and Rajasthan was symbolised with the Dandiya Sticks - very similar I thought to Daredevil's sticks - and the rhythmic dance ritual performed with them in dresses with colours so bright and lively, it felt like you were floating in a rainbow sea. The muted thump of people's feet and the clatter of the sticks would propel us straight into the crowd of revellers, often disrupting the flow of folk dance and earn us the stink eye from men trying to impress women and kisses from the women themselves. <\/p>
I remember how hypnotised I was with the way people danced in the open field near our house. My tiny jaw dropped all the way, eyes wide. I remember begging my mother to let me play Dandiya with the adults but I had already earned a reputation of eating more abuse from falls and recklessness, thus foiling my carefully laid out plans of running straight in as soon as I got my hands on a pair of Dandiyas. <\/p>
I was allowed to play Dandiya, with other kids my age. Too young to hold grudges and too carefree to actually, well, care, went spend hours performing the dance, although if you asked the onlookers, it was more of hitting each other with the sticks. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1506599005926","data":"59cce0c4bce0c"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1506516023152","data":"
Of all the things one must do in India, I'm told visiting Kolkata during Durga Pujo is an absolute must. The city, my friends from Kolkata tells me (of whom I'm certain at least 2 are planning to punch me for not visiting the city yet), comes alive during Pujo and there is no amount of videos, stories or Facebook posts that can show just how beautiful the city becomes. <\/p>
From elaborate pandals that seem to outdo one another, much like Ganesh Chaturthi in Hyderabad and Mumbai, to Bengalis from all over the country going home for the season and meeting up, eating the delicious street food the city has to offer and the general togetherness of friends and family, Durga Pujo is without a doubt one of the best and most unique things about India. Even the communists, I'm told, couldn't take the Pujo away from the Bengalis. <\/p>
I only hope this time next year, I am in Kolkata to witness it first hand. Yes, I do know how loud it can get and the general insanity of festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi and Durga Pujo can be quite overwhelming but the energy in the crowd and the smiles on people's faces are always worth it. It is one of the few things about this country that make it worth fighting for. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1506598014289","data":"59cce089544f8"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1506598016628","data":"
To my utter dismay, I eventually found out that I couldn't be a 5-year old child for the rest of my life, as much as I wanted to. Today, I've long since lost my faith but I still have an appreciation for how the traditional Hindu beliefs were kept alive over so many millennia, especially when the odds were heavily stacked against us for the last 600 or so years. It is not perfect and I do believe Hinduism has to put aside some of its archaic practices and move on - which, on paper, doesn't seem very difficult considering the flexibility of the religion - and become a system of belief that believes in peace and tolerance. The current direction of the country, however, doesn't inspire confidence. <\/p>
Which is why I thought this piece would be a good place to pen down, reminiscing about the days when you thought festivals were about the community and religion was just an identity, not a weapon. I hope that on this Vijayadashami, every one of us conquers distrust and hate and let love and community win. <\/p>
Too liberal for you? Perhaps. I assure you that wasn't my intention. I just hope to see a world where children can grow up without fear, free to engage in their beliefs. Children are, after all, the consequences of our actions, making us responsible for their existence but not their own bodies or beliefs when they grow up. It seems logical to me that all of us should work towards conquering evil in all aspects of our lives so we can build a better future for another 5-year old who is just about to experience and hopefully remember their first Dusshera. <\/p>"}]
We are supposed to accept that our judiciary is filled with well read and intelligent judges that can read the law and interpret it in a way that delivers justify according to the guidelines laid for us by our constitution, but apparently, women are still property because to this day the High Court does not understand that a no means a no. <\/p>
In a recent case where Peepli Live Co-Director Mahmood Farooqui was acquitted by Delhi High Court, the presiding judge Justice Ashutosh Kumar said that a feeble no may mean a yes. If you do not understand the sheer implications of this statement, the high court in Delhi has set a precedent for future rape cases to use this judgement to prove that even when a woman says no, she means yes. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1506418613347","data":"59ca201f8d195"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1506418621363","data":"
Pictured above: A rapist <\/i> <\/p>
This is a country that places more worth on a woman as property rather than a person. This is a country where having a girl child is considered a burden, where women are only seen as worthy of having children and staying home to raise them. In such a country, a supposed 'learned' and 'knowledgeable' venerable High Court Justice has ruled that a woman's consent means nothing. <\/p>
Put aside the fact that Indians don't really understand consent. It is in our movies, our songs, our popular culture. The 'hero' in a movie pursues the hapless 'heroine', stalking her and of course our movies show that in the end, the only reason for the existence of the heroine was so she could fall head over heels in love with the 'hero'. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1506419691343","data":"59ca2630598fa"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1506419693010","data":"
When a girl asks you to stop bothering her, just stop. Do you know how creepy it is when you keep pursuing a girl despite her saying no? Do you realise what it does to the mental health of the person being subjected to this harassment? Do you even realise what the influence of movies that openly get away doing this does to women in society? <\/p>
As if the men weren't bad enough, those who engage in this absolutely disgusting display of 'love', there are women who are convinced that this is the only way a man can show love to a woman, by harassing her. Girls please, all of us have been subjected to one form of sexual assault or another over the years, have some self respect for yourself, for the love of god. Recognise that this is not okay and it contributes to the existing rape culture problem of India, where women are only seen as objects to pursue and where even their no means a yes. <\/p>
The time to fight is now, and as long as I live and breathe, I will not let the patriarchy that enables this kind of sexism and disregard of consent rest easy. I hope you will do the same. <\/p>"}]
It often makes we wonder what we did to deserve someone as fantastic as Raja Ram Mohan Roy. <\/p>
Born on 22nd May, 1773 in the Bengal Presidency of The British Empire, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, known only as Ram Mohan Roy back then, studied in various schools, mastering different languages and being exposed to a variety of ideas even before he became an adult. This, I believe, laid the conditions for him to form his views and go on to become one of the most important reformers in India. Of the many hats he wore, being a reformer and a journalist are perhaps his best known work. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1506411287488","data":"59ca069200e49"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1506411290064","data":"
We read in our school's history textbooks that Raja Ram Mohan Roy was instrumental in abolishing the horrific and inhumane practice of Sati, a ritual where a widow was required to jump into the funeral pyre of her deceased husband and sacrifice herself. What we do not know is that Ram Mohan Roy fought tooth and nail to bring about this change and even when he effectively managed to get it outlawed, there were still stubborn conservatives who refused to let go of the practise. <\/p>
Over time, however, it became less common until it was completely abolished. The 19th century in India, as we would learn, would hold another bloody chapter in the history of the country, one that would kickstart the Indian Independence movement with the full fury of the common man. <\/p>
From the pages of Wikipedia, 'Ram Mohan Roy\u2019s experience working with the British government taught him that Hindu traditions were often not credible or respected by western standards and this no doubt affected his religious reforms. He wanted to legitimise Hindu traditions to his European acquaintances by proving that \"superstitious practices which deform the Hindu religion have nothing to do with the pure spirit of its dictates!\" The \"superstitious practices\", to which Ram Mohan Roy objected, included sati, caste rigidity, polygamy and child marriages.[23] These practices were often the reasons British officials claimed moral superiority over the Indian nation. Ram Mohan Roy\u2019s ideas of religion actively sought to create a fair and just society by implementing humanitarian practices similar to Christian ideals and thus legitimise Hinduism in the modern world.'<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1506411719127","data":"59ca06a79137c"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1506411720992","data":"
Of course, Raja Ram Mohan Roy would be disappointed to learn how much Caste still affects Indian lives, ever prevasive and omnipresent in our society, letting the casteists judge their fellow human being simply by the circumstances of their birth, but his work in giving women some semblance of agency was, in itself, a ground breaking effort in pushing Indian society to the present world. I honestly do not know where we would be as a society if it was not for him. <\/p>
Raja Ram Mohan Roy died on this day, September 27, 1833, in Bristol, England. He is currently buried at Arnos Vale Cemetery in East Bristol, and the British have honoured his memory ever since. <\/p>"}]
Biography of Oprah Winfrey can inspire some but here I have her words on self-esteem, which will definitely change your mind. <\/p>
Before I tell you her version on self-esteem I would like to introduce you to the word self-esteem. What actually that word mean? Confidence in one\u2019s own worth or abilities, that\u2019s what Google says about self-esteem. <\/p>
When you live in a society where you get to hear many negatives about you, and where your being as yourself is treated as a crime, it becomes tough for you to survive and if it happens with a woman it's little tougher. But Oprah Winfrey is now in her great position, followed by many, inspiration to many even after those struggles. <\/p>
In high school, she was quoted \u201cbig flirt.\u201d She justified it by saying she was only being funny. When she got older, that clamouring morphed into something more overtly physical. She justified it by saying she was simply expressing her sexuality, which is natural, healthy and right. What she didn\u2019t say and perhaps didn\u2019t realize that she used sex to confirm that she had something to offer. When she was still older, she stopped sleeping around, but she always needs someone to be around saying that she is beautiful in all realms of life. She used to get others attention by saying she is poor. She used to measure her value by the attention she got from others. <\/p>
In some ways it\u2019s not unhealthy because everyone likes to have a reflection coming back that\u2019s positive. \"We're social animals. We want to be liked and approved of. The question is to what extent we will go to get that, and to what extent we need it. Logically she knew that she is not worthless, but at her state of mind at that age she needed someone. <\/p>
Her family may be the reason behind this because she did not get the perfect family environment from her childhood. That may be the reason she was always in search of people who say they love her. <\/p>
After many therapies, she has got that self-esteem in her. She says that we always should pamper ourselves rather than waiting for someone to do that. If we start talking to ourselves saying that you are beautiful and you are enough it build\u2019s up to your self-esteem. We don\u2019t need someone to be back of us always saying that they love us. We just need some time for ourselves to gain that confidence in you. <\/p>
\u201cI've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.\u201d\u2014Oprah Winfrey. <\/p>
I conclude by saying that start spending some time for yourself and never wait for others, try to make others crave for you and your love.<\/p>"}]

The efforts are note-worthy, and the colorful shacks coupled with authentic Goan cuisine make it worth your time."},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1506324454487","data":"59c8b06ec6164"}] {"cover_pic":"https:\/\/cdn.stumagz.com\/images\/59c9ea10e4889stryimg","category":"My Take","is_vip":"0","title":"If I were a man.....said Love!","title_id":"if-i-were-a-man-said-love-","isEdit":0,"isAdmin":0,"authorFullName":"Shreshta Chillappagari","authorUserName":"shreshtachilla","authorProfilePic":"\/\/cdn.stumagz.com\/images\/58933efab7130profilepic","authorMagzName":"Bhoj Reddy Engineering College","authorCity":"Hyderabad","like_count":20,"cmnt_count":0,"type":1,"isApproved":2,"publishedInName":"Bhoj Reddy Engineering College","publishedInLink":"brecw","publishedInLogo":"\/\/cdn.stumagz.com\/images\/591d8207ae3cdprofilepic","publishedInCode":"brecw","country":"IND","keywords":"love,eternal","isBookingEnabled":0,"privacy_status":"1","url":"https:\/\/www.stumagz.com\/if-i-were-a-man-said-love-\/","has_form":0,"is_appln_closed":0,"max_no_of_applns":0,"likeStatus":0} [{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1506344228827","data":"\"I am in the rainbow that you rejoice watching at;<\/p> I am in the air that you breathe for your existence;<\/p> I am in the zephyr that you want it to kiss;<\/p> I am in the tree that you want it to bear fruits;<\/p> I am in the mountain that you want to climb upon;<\/p> I am in the skies that you want to transcend into;<\/p> I am a part of the never ending universe,<\/p> I am a fraction of the forever expanding cosmos;<\/p> I am a part of the eternity!!!\"<\/p><\/p>\"If I were a man...\", said Love--<\/p> You would miss my presence,<\/p> For, you would search for my absence;<\/p><\/p>I am a part of you my love.......<\/p>For, you hold a universe within!<\/p>Wake up dear,<\/p>To redefine yourself,<\/p>To rediscover yourself,<\/p>To emerge into eternity!!!!!<\/p><\/p>"}] {"cover_pic":"https:\/\/cdn.stumagz.com\/images\/59c8fd66943f6stryimg","category":"Inspiration","is_vip":"0","title":"Sri Charan Lakkaraju","title_id":"sri-charan-lakkaraju","isEdit":0,"isAdmin":0,"authorFullName":"Amulya Garnepally","authorUserName":"amulya8","authorProfilePic":"\/\/cdn.stumagz.com\/images\/5afa6f7b97db7profilepic","authorMagzName":"SR Engineering College","authorCity":"Warangal","like_count":52,"cmnt_count":4,"type":1,"isApproved":2,"publishedInName":"SR Engineering College","publishedInLink":"srec","publishedInLogo":"\/\/cdn.stumagz.com\/images\/5aa9734db28b7profilepic","publishedInCode":"srec","country":"IND","keywords":"#SriCharanLakkaraju,#stumagz,#founder,#KnownAsCharanAnna","isBookingEnabled":0,"privacy_status":"1","url":"https:\/\/www.stumagz.com\/sri-charan-lakkaraju\/","has_form":0,"is_appln_closed":0,"max_no_of_applns":0,"likeStatus":0} [{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1506344003228","data":" I do not understand how to describe him.<\/p>Today i am able to write some story and publish over here and you guys are able to read my article is just because of him.<\/p>Stumagz is the one which is sponsoring for our college events ( SCALE workshop, RSPAC ).<\/p>Thanks a ton for your support.<\/p>Directly or indirectly Charan Sir is the one who inspired me soo much,<\/p> \n\nI will tell you why.<\/p>when i was in my second year, stumagz team came to SREC to select avengers from our college.<\/p>One of my senior asked some five persons to participate.

Thank you.<\/p>
So, I happened to read a series of books written by one of the most amazing author Blake Pierce<\/i>, who specialises in writing mystery\/thriller & criminal genres, and definitely does utmost justice to each of her work that always manages to leave a reader awestruck !<\/p>
Her first book, also the first among the Riley Paige mystery series, is titled as 'Once Gone<\/i>', and she has managed to write around 9 more books and still counting in the Riley Paige series itself, each consisting of an intriguing plot, and realistic portrayal of characters that can be so easily related to.<\/p>
The series revolves around a special agent Riley Paige, who has the special ability to get into the mind of the killer and analyse the events that might have occurred when the killer had striked. She happens to be on leave recovering from the nightmares resulting from her last case that has managed to shake her fragile self.<\/p>
Plot of 'Once Gone' :<\/b> <\/p>
When FBI experiences a series of inhuman & brutal murders of women in the outskirts of Virginia, leaving them Dumbfounded while the investigation leading them next to no clues, they know they are dealing with a serial killer who'll be striking again soon. They've gotta find him before somebody else is taken and they know of only one agent good enough to deal this barbaric killer- Special Agent Riley Paige, though they are reluctant to disturb her fragile self again so soon. But when Riley finds about the killings, she becomes obsessed to fight back her inner demons and confront her fears through this case, and she steps in despite having her job at stake, her daughter April in danger, determined to put an end to this phase of terror. She trusts her instincts enough to follow them blindfolded and soon comes across clues that signals her that the killer is obsessed with particular doll collectors and she knows that the next victim might have already been taken. As she pushes herself to get deeper into the killers mind, she finds that the killer is much more mysterious and twisted that her thoughts.<\/p>
Can she be quick enough to save the victim? Or end up in becoming a victim herself?Filled with unexpected Twists and turns making readers yearn for more, 'Once Gone' sums up to be a perfect read for mystery lovers.For those who don't have enough time to go and buy books, you can download this book, i.e. the first in the Riley Paige series, for free on play store. And those who've already given this a read, more 9 books are now available under this series itself.Can't get enough? Check out her other series of books- Mackenzie White series, Avery Black series, and Keri Locke series, exclusively available on play store !Happy Reading ! <\/span><\/p>"}]
