Over the weekend, social media and WhatsApp bore witness to the horrific abuse of a 3 perhaps 4-year-old child being yelled and slapped into learning their first digits in life. With the child begging the woman shooting the video to teach her with love, begging with her hands clasped together, saying she already has a headache and an earache from all the yelling, it leads me to believe that whoever this sick twisted person who shot the video was, she probably thought it would make a cute and funny video that would be shared amongst the family so they can all join together and laugh at the horrors inflicted upon the psyche of a 4-year-old. <\/p>
Obviously, it didn't work out so well for the woman who shot the video<\/p>
The short horror story caused an uproar of indignation amongst many across social media, with current Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli sharing it and bringing it to national attention. Those familiar with the issue have told me that the video had already gone viral on Whatsapp's Uncle Network (a name we made up out of sheer frustration of being subjected to blatant propaganda and those annoying good morning and good night messages every day) and that while some people reacted in horror, there have been an uncomfortably large amount of people who are perfectly okay with the child being psychologically scarred for their entire life just to learn some numbers. <\/p>
The same sick and twisted phenomenon could be seen on social media, where most of the top comments were 'We were beaten up when we were children, we turned out just fine!', no, my friends, you did not turn out fine, especially not when you see such blatant child abuse on the screen, where the child is screaming in rage and frustration, repeating anything to make the torment stop and not actually learning anything. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1503393732520","data":"VpwdWE3c5U4"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1503389087327","data":"
This festering cancer within our society that scars kids for life and causes a serious lack of respect for authority figures in children growing up to be adults is just a part of the usual great Indian hypocrisy: in one breath we extol the virtues of children, calling them pure of heart and being the physical embodiment of the gods themselves on earth, with another we do not hesitate to beat them up and force them into learning through fear instead of letting the child be curious and ask questions. <\/p>
While India's long laundry list of hypocrisies can fill several volumes of old dusty tomes found in ancient libraries, right now, at this moment, there is a mother somewhere who thinks the video she made of their child is something cute and to be laughed at with the rest of her family instead of evidence of a rot in our society, one that must be treated before the cancer kills the body. <\/p>
I'm not sure how many of you are old enough to remember, but when I was growing up, there was this certain school that had mastered the art of commodifying education, selling it like fish in the market instead of a tool to empower the children unfortunate enough to be trapped in their cages. The USP of these prisons was that they were extremely strict with their students\/prisoners, and back in the day, extremely strict was a dog whistle for saying they employed corporal punishments. <\/p>
Parents, who knew full well that corporal punishments were banned by the Delhi High Court after a landmark case that outlawed the inhuman practice in the year 2000, still sent their children to schools like these because they believed beatings would help their children improve their grades and study well. <\/p>
It is important that I highlight the utter disgust I'm feeling at this moment at my fellow countrymen and women, but the rage I'm feeling probably cannot be translated into words without me resorting to less than acceptable language on this platform, and hence I will refrain from doing so, but I do have this to say, what sort of coward would want to hit a child that probably does not even know any better? Why have we become so accustomed to child abuse that we shrug it off and move on instead of standing our ground and saying this is not okay? Whatever happened to Steve Rogers saying that when the whole world tries to convince you that something wrong is something right and tells you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree on the banks of the river of truth, look these dealers of child violence in the eye and say, 'No, you move.' <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1503391568049","data":"599befb23975f"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1503391574575","data":"
Growing up, I had everything from chalk to a full sized duster throw at me, the latter of which shattered the window I was sitting in front of, the scars of the incident still a constant reminder of how utterly disgusting our attitude towards child abuse is in this country. The offender, in this case, was our physics teacher, a man who didn't think twice in slapping kids around. But on that day, I had had enough, I was already taller than him and extremely angry at having glass shards piercing my back. Combine this with teenage angst, years of being abused by various teachers and having the object of my anger right in front of my eyes at the head of the class. Let's just say he got what was coming for him and I narrowly managed to escape a dismissal from the school.<\/p>
But for every student who manages to successfully stand up to their oppressors in schools across India, how many more suffer in silence because they know they will not get justice, not at home, or at school, when both of these places are controlled and led by poor excuse of human beings, cowards in the name of teachers and parents who believe it is their right to hit children? <\/p>
As the years went by, the notion of hitting a child just because they disobeyed you or didn't understand you made no sense at all. Children learn from the adults they see around them, so when they are beaten for disobedience or some misunderstanding, they are imprinting upon their children the singular notion that might is right, and that only physical violence is the proper answer to everything in life. This leads to children fearing and secretly resenting you, even if they won't admit it, and they would much rather risk lying than telling you the truth ever again because why should they trust you to be their friend in need when all you've shown them is your complete lack of tact and your caveman tendency by hitting a defenseless child?<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1503392664770","data":"599bf8699f8be"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1503392666893","data":"
Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing a teacher go to jail because they had become too big for their own heads. This extends to professors in engineering colleges, who believe themselves to be above the law. I knew one such professor who lied to students that he had an accident when in reality, mask-wearing students had waylaid him and beaten him till he cried and begged them to stop. This news should horrify me, but it didn't. Why? Because the professor had it coming for him, he lorded over students and believe he could beat up anyone he wanted with no consequences. There's also the fact that people often forget engineering students are legally adults and are usually big enough to stand up for themselves and fight back. But I digress. <\/p>
Studies have shown us that students and children who respect their teachers and parents respectively are more likely to listen to their wishes than children who are beaten into submission. Fear does not work, it just makes children be more secretive and become extremely good with their lies, ask anyone of your friends that sneaks out at night for a round of drinks. I have already mentioned twice before that Indian parents are hilariously inept at being parents, most of them are just birth givers with children who grow up learning lies to hide themselves to the point that their parents have no idea about the kind of person their child has become. <\/p>
It is time to stop using fear as a tool to force children into studying, because it has never and will never work. Fear only teaches secrecy, which is why you see many adults today, especially women, living double lives. If you're a guy, just ask your female friends how many excuses they make to get out of the house to hang out with their squad, and how many of those excuses are the truth. <\/p>
The history of this country is being written, and I hope to see it become a great country where children do not have to fear to go to school because some unloved coward turned teacher beats them. Not only will there be hell to pay, if it were my child, I would not rest until I personally make sure that teacher is fired and possibly arrested, but perhaps that would be putting too much faith in the working of our law and order department. <\/p>
A child does not ask to be born, the choice to bring a child into this world is the parents to make, and it simply boggles my mind that there are people who think a couple making this choice means they 'own' the child. <\/p>
No, they don't, you don't own the child, in fact, you owe the child all the love and care you can afford to give it because it was by your choice and your body that the child was born. If the baby had a choice, would it really choose parents that abuse it for something as simple as learning numbers?<\/p>"}]

October 18 2015: Let's take you to the PVR grounds, Shamshabad, Hyderabad. It was mid day and sun is head high scorching heat. but one particular group of people seem to be loosing their cool more than anyone else there. It was a HCA(Hyderabad Cricket Association) division league match and team members of Satya Cricket club were already dispirited and dissuaded with their performance as their dreams to end their losing streak seemed impossible. They were playing against CK Blues and were quickly losing wickets in the first innings itself and the score board didn't look good. But there was one guy who's still \nwaiting for his turn and wanted to keep the dreams alive. wickets went down and the fifteen year old boy entered on to the crease. In what must be one of the greatest comebacks according to his coach the boy went on to score an unbeaten 108 in his 25 over innings with just two more wickets in hand. All the team members were delighted with his innings and felt uplifted. They bowled out the opponents for a very less score and won the match by a very large margin.\n\"That was my most memorable and the best nostalgic moment for and I could never forget it as it was first of its kind in entire life\", says Abhishek Anumalla 18 year old, Computer Science engineering student and a Cricket enthusiast and a great dancer from CMRCET,Hyd.<\/p>\n
Abhishek recently received many accolades for his innings he played against the senior team in an exhibition match organised by the physical department of CMRCET. He unanimously won the match for the juniors team and showcased his amazing talent. we decided to nominate him for \"the student of the week\"and approached him for an interview.<\/p>\n
The team: Hello Abhishek! Congrats dude\n that was a great performance!\nAbhi: Hello! Thank you very much guys! that\n means a lot to me.\nTeam : Give us a brief intro about yourself \n Abhishek.\nAbhi: Well my name is Abhishek Anumalla\n Studying Computer Science(II year)\n in CMRCET.I stay in Malkajgiri,a bit\n far from college.\nTeam: about parents?<\/p>\n
Abhi: My father Dr.Balakrishnan works as\n the director of UGC Academic staff\n in Osmania University. He's my real\n hero and stays that way forever .<\/p>\n
My Goddess, Dr.Vanaja ,my mother \n works as a librarian at Kasturba \n Gandhi college for women.<\/p>\n
Team: Nice! you said your dad to be your\n hero. Tells us why?\nAbhi: Everything would be less to describe\n him. All the sacrifices he made for\n me, he forgoes his sleep for my\n practice countless times and still\n manages all the work at home and\n office in the best way possible.\n He's also the president of Consumer\n Welfare Association that has great\n recognition over the state.\n I could go on all the day about him,\n if you let me.<\/p>\n","id":"1503333453177","type":"txt"},{"data":"

Team: Great! Tell us about your hobbies,\n what you generally do when you're\n free apart from Cricket?\nAbhi: Well, my hobbies include dancing to\n dubstep music, playing football and\n listening to music.

Abhi: I don't know. I didn't bother to ask.\n was very sad and disheartened. I\n made my friends to ask him for\n which he said\" Abhishek got select\n -ed and I notified him about it but\n he didn't show up at the HCA.

Abhi: well I am free to dream. isn't it?<\/p>\n
Team: How did you got into engineering?\n coz you are doing well in cricket\n right?<\/p>\n
Abhi: I ask the same question to myself\n as to why everyday when I go to\n sleep. But I had to choose between\n the both and I happened to got here.\n But I don't regret that decision yet,\n as I experience a great environment\n here with different people. I still got\n two more years to prove myself and\n I'm sure I would do great with my\n cricketing career.<\/p>\n
Team: about your siblings?<\/p>\n
Abhi: oh yeah! I can't forget about her. \n Apoorva ,my elder sister also\n graduated from CMRCET from ECE\n branch.she got placed in Capgemini\n and is waiting for the call letter from\n company. She's like my support\n system always there for me when I\n feel low and cheers me up. I feel\n great to have such a sister.<\/p>\n
Team: Great! Any particular reason for\n choosing computer science? what\n subject do you like the most?<\/p>\n
Abhi: I loved coding dude! I also learnt\n something about hacking before I\n got into the college. But now I feel\n like losing interest in it after I got\n here :-*\n I love math. I used to be afraid of \n it but thanks to my mom I'm no \n more.i started solving problems\n while listening to music and it\n slowly turned into a habit.

I\n thought engineering to be bunking\n classes, having fun out there and\n enjoying a lot, But I realises that I\n enjoy more when I genuinely try to\n be perfect and can still have fun.\n Our class is very unlike the others\n coz we don't have groups in our\n class which I observe in every other\n class.

I don't like the concept of \n maths for attendance. is the one\n thing I want to change very badly.\n I feel like there's a need for more\n encouragement of sports here.I\n am grateful to our Physical director.\n He's a great personality.\n It's so stressful to stay back after\n classes in college to play and reach\n home thereafter. I hope selections\n were done in a more better way coz\n students nearer to college have an\n advantage. Skull has to be given\n more importance.<\/p>\n
Team: Okay! So have you ragged anyone\n now that you are a senior?<\/p>\n
Abhi: haha! Noo ragging in any form is\n but encouraged in our college. They\n are very strict about it and you\n know why.

If you've been paying attention to my writings for the last couple of weeks, I've been dropping hints that I am not who I actually claim to be. Shireen is not my real name, although I am from BITS Hyderabad, I adopted this pseudonym to keep my identity a secret for no apparent reason except for the fact that I simply didn't want to be identified, I like keeping my privacy. <\/p>
Speaking of privacy, we've had excellent articles on this very platform highlighting the need for it especially for us students, and why we must fight for it. However, for introverts such as yours truly, there are certain times in the year where your privacy goes for a toss no matter how much you want to keep it: festivals. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1503345282406","data":"599b428344c15"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1503345283996","data":"
Personally, I do not mind. Because this is the only time in the year I acknowledge the existence of relatives. As much as I hate their prying eyes and questions, especially the ones which ask me when I'm getting married, I do have cousins who are super cool and around whom I can be myself again. This is the only reason I subject myself to the torture of the public eye, so I can hang out with the cousins that I choose to like. <\/p>
That being said, it is quite amazing how festivals in India bring together our families like no other time. Of course, the west has their Thanksgivings and Christmas parties, but nothing brings a family together like Indian festivals do. With all the privacy invading questions aside, it is absolutely great to catch up with your cousins over delicious sweets that you will regret eating later, but eat anyway because which sane person says no to ladoos and Kaju Barfi? <\/p>
With Ganesh Chaturthi coming up in a couple of days, it is important to remember that this is what makes India what it is, our close knit communities have problems of their own, but when we come together for something positive, it is a beautiful sight to see. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1503346260559","data":"599b42c716372"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1503346263478","data":"
Diwali, another festival that most of us love, has long since lost it's appeal for me because of all the pollution it causes, but I still enjoy hanging out with my cousins and discussing various issues, the hottest on the day being all the pollution caused. While our parents do not understand our position on the festival, all us cousins have decided to not be a part of festivities, choosing instead to work on social issues. We've taken it upon ourselves to clean the streets next morning of all the paper and collect it for the hardworking municipal workers who come to usually sweep and pick it up, and we make it a point to give them sweets for all their hardwork. <\/p>
Eid holds a special place in my heart because it teaches tolerance to people around me. In all the years that I've lived, I've never known a person to dislike Muslims after they had a taste of our delicious Sheer Kurma, but I'll talk about Eid on a later date. <\/p>
If anything, festivals are a representative of what we can achieve if we come together as people who love and respect one another. We must treat our fellow citizens as an extended family and spread the love as much as we can, only then can this once great country become great once again. <\/p>"}]

The central government recently announced that the government will provide Rs 70,000 as monthly fellowship to those researchers doing their PhDs in IITs or IISc. This has been done as a move to enable meritorious researchers, keen to further their research but forced to opt for corporate jobs for higher pay, to pursue their goal, as Union higher education secretary Kewal Kumar Sharma said at IIT Kharagpur on Friday. <\/p>
\u201cAs part of the research fellowship scheme of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we wish the meritorious students who are being forced to leave the country for purely financial reasons stay within the country. We will provide 2,000 such monthly fellowships across the IIT system and IISc Bengaluru,\u201d he said, speaking at the 67th Foundation Day of IIT Kharagpur.<\/p>
The question I wish to raise here is what about researchers from some other branch of research, like humanities or social sciences? I believe this stems from the \"humanities students only protest while engineers work hard for the development of the country\" thought process; with emphasis being put on sciences and technical branches of research, to ensure these branches attract more students than humanities and social sciences (which is already the case).<\/p>
One sad part of the Indian educational system and subsequently Indian professionals is that most of the people study engineering, in hopes of easy jobs and opportunities. Most of the engineers that this country churns out, work in some or the other MNC based out of some other country, so indirectly working and making money for the companies based out of other countries. Because of these companies outsourcing most of their workforce to India, from the government's perspective and from the perspective of most parents in this country, it is important to study only engineering as it will solve a lot of problems (the major one being that of unemployment) but technical education and technical expertise will never solve societal problems.<\/p>
I had written earlier speaking about why humanities and tech students<\/a> should understand each other but now, it seems as if the entire country should understand the importance of studying humanities and social sciences and pursuing those branches as career options too. <\/p>The constitution that protects you, was written by a humanities person. The laws that protect you, were formulated by people from humanities' backgrounds. The newspapers that you read to consume news, are written by people who studied journalism, which is again a branch of humanities. <\/p>It is imperative for everyone in this country to understand the importance of humanities, especially parents' of teenagers so that these branches can also be seen as career options. The government, in its turn, should also realise the importance of humanities and give humanities researchers too, their fair share of fellowships.<\/p>"}]

There must be times when you look at a person and think, \"Damn! She's so good! I wish I could be like her. I'm not even half as good as her.\" That, friend, right there is a problem.<\/p>
First of all, it's a great thing that you admire her. You are fortunate if you are surrounded by such people. You are blessed with an opportunity to learn<\/i> from such people. Now it depends on how you take this opportunity. Wishing<\/i> to be like that person, it isn't good for you. You need to understand that \"you are a unique<\/b> person, with unique strengths and weaknesses\". And you need to respect that. You owe it to yourself to have a self-check. Study yourself. Find out your plus points (everyone has them), and understand your weaknesses (again, everyone has them). Use your strengths to 'upgrade' yourself, and turn your weaknesses into your strengths by persistently working on them. Keep challenging yourself. A day will come when you'll look back and be surprised by how much you have improved. How good you feel about yourself. You'll be proud of yourself.<\/p>
But yes, admiring that person, and learning<\/i> from her, that will be a lot beneficial for you. You could approach her, and talk to her. Get to know her. One thing I've realized is that they aren't too different from us. The BIG difference, however, is that they believe<\/i> in themselves. They have a passion, a DESIRE to improve themselves. To use their potential to the maximum. Now think about it for a moment, honestly, have you ever even 'thought'<\/i> about this? <\/p>
It's okay if you haven't. The fact that you aren't where you want to be should be enough motivation. Believe me when I say you have a lot more potential than you can imagine. Believe in yourself. And the best time to do that is now. Get a pen n paper. Visualize your desire, plan your goal, and write it down. Read it aloud every day, and have FAITH. <\/p>
\"Everything is an illusion until it is done!! Just have the courage to believe in your illusion to make it real.\"<\/i> -Vyshnavi Panjhazari<\/p>
It is necessary to have that BURNING DESIRE. That desire to succeed. To be the best version of yourself. Never compare yourself to anyone. Anyone, other than you. Success is when you are better than what you were before. If you have improved yourself, physically, mentally, academically, spiritually, socially, or any 'lly' (hehe), I mean if you have improved yourself in any aspect of your life, and if you are even a fraction better than what you were, say, a month ago, then my friend, I admire you.<\/p>"}]
Virtual Reality or VR as it is generally referred to is most hyped technology initially created for gaming is all set to change the way many things work from here on! Let's look at a few things VR would make it's Mark on!<\/p>\n
What it is??\n \n Virtual Reality is a simulated environment created using computer technology where we could say the user literally lives in a fantasy world that is created as he immerses himself in it. Besides viewing the user can touch, hear,feel, and even smell things.<\/p>\n
How VR differs from AR(AugmentedReality)\nis that AR is the result of overlapping of the Digital world and the world we live in whereas VR takes the user to a completely new world that is different from ours.<\/p>\n
VR Headset:\n \n VR Headset is the basic instrument needed to experience virtual reality. It's like a thick pair of goggles that go over your eyes. There are different types of VR headsets available in the market. But Basically there are two types of VR headsets.<\/p>\n
The smartphone based VR like the Google Cardboard and Samsung hear VR which use a smartphone as a source to experience VR.<\/p>\n
The other type are the high-end ones like Oculus rift from Facebook, Vive from HTC,\nPlayStation VR from Sony. They need a powerful PC to which they are connected and offer a complete VR experience.<\/p>\n
How it works: \n In a basic VR like Google Cardboard two lenses are placed in between the source and eyes at an optical distance. It forms an overlapped image from the lenses in front of the user's eyes enabling him to experience the 3-D effects. It is in budget and offers good experience to the first timers. The better is the quality of the lens used, the better you could experience.<\/p>\n
A High-end VR is accompanied by a powerful PC to which it is connected<\/u> to intensify the experience the user gets. These guarantee a very immersive and interactive experience with sharper and smoother moving imagery . These are by far greater than the basic types in terms of quality and hence costs more. These allow you to Move more like you could be at the top of Everest by actually roaming in your balcony ;)<\/p>\n
How would it change things:\n \nGaming:<\/p>\n
VR has entirely changed the perspective towards gaming. Playing a game by indulging everything of yourself inside it is something that brings a whole new level of excellence .It will offer a very impressive and immersive experience to the user . VR makes it possible to bring people virtually together and play when they are physically far away. The visual effects, that lively feeling and immersive experience VR brings on the games is most unlikely the stereotypes we play on consoles and mobiles like You could yourself search around for bombs and dismantle a bomb instead of using keys and controls.Seems very cool right ;-)<\/p>\n
Films:\n \n VR opens a whole new possibilities in the experience you would get through watching films. Talk about 3-D movies and think of an actual 3-D movie world you can look around in as you see it, looking at the action from different angles and paying attention to whatever you choose to through the 360 degree view.\n \n It's literally roaming around in the Jurassic park while you watch the dinosaurs pass through you. It's very exciting the way it sounds right? ;-)<\/p>\n
Visiting Places:<\/p>\n
As I told you VR could bring close the people that matter to you the most but are physically apart ,the same way it helps you visit places you couldn't even dream of! Just think looking around the world on Google maps and think how ecstatic it can be if you move around the steep planes, high mountains and breathtaking waterfalls in the world and experience with your own eyes!\n \n VR allows you to remote tours of museums, monuments and estates you couldn't even afford to visit without leaving your living room. super awesome!<\/p>\n
Surgeries:<\/p>\n
It's better and safer for surgeons in training to perfect Thier techniques on things other than real humans and also better for them to practice on things that aren't just plastic models or people who volunteer their bodies to medical sciences and VR opens a way for them.<\/p>\n
As such ,a fully interactive ,accurately modelled specimen, suffering from specific ailments that need surgery to be carried through a VR-interface would make for a lot better trained and better performing surgeons. This is cool!<\/p>\n
Space Odyssey and Underwater herald:<\/p>\n
Space and ocean beds are the extreme places one could ever visit but are very curious to explore them.A space agency putting cameras over their equipment AMD sending them out to the great black unknown with people on earth navigating through a VR would make space exploration in a way we've never seen before.<\/p>\n
The same goes with underwater. Exploring the sea bed from sea weed to swimming along with the great blue whale through a VR interface would be so dope.:-D<\/p>\n
Plane simulation:<\/p>\n
Pilots already learn using flight simulators and just like the surgeons they could really do with something a lot more immersive and realistic to properly hone their skills. VR is the greatest till they could make use of.It could save a lot of fuel too.<\/p>\n
Make sure you play the air simulator next time you grab a VR.\n:-)<\/p>\n
Improving the life of people:<\/p>\n
There are many people out there who aren't capable of leading a normal life. They dream of exploring and experience the wonders of the world too.VR could be the thing that could provide the disabled people with the things they deserve just like normal people. It's a brilliant thing :-)<\/p>\n
Grab your headset and experience the virtual world today.\n \n - Ananth ;-)<\/p>\n","id":"1503173709590","type":"txt"},{"data":"5998982fdfc8e","id":"1503173709606","type":"img"},{"data":"
