Post Paris Climate Deal, its time to have a Delhi Climate Deal

The universe has been fighting over the Paris Climate Deal which has raised a serious concern of the Temparature rise uptill 2 degrees all across the globe by 2050. Withdrawal of US from the Paris Climate Deal has grieved across a wave of hatred against the duck who has time and again corroborated his being a farce in the history of mankind. There are 2 more cities which needs a lofty focus on the Climatic conditions which always gapers a massive change every time and each time bystanding a harsh fettle, Beijing and Delhi.

Last week i had a short trip to my hometown and on my way back we were notified by the flight attendant that the visibilibity for the slight from an altitude to the runway is only 6 kilometers. As the craft was descending to land to the runway of Delhi airport, i could visualise an encrust of dust particles in the toposphere which was making it highly onerious to have a clear view of the city and the runway. The pilots were encountering major hurdles in smoothening the glide of the aircraft which was being battered by the dust particles and the polluted air and finally there was a visibility around 6 km and the flight landed safely. This synchronised several affairs in my mind realising the exacerbation of the Climate that we as citizens are solely responsible. We actually fail to realise that our Motherland is our responsibilty and we will reap finally what we sow! Its of utmost importance for all to devote some of our treasured time and work on few artefacts which can lead to a better climatic conditions.

1) Cleaning the household chimneys and factories- Its a pivotal part of our job to clean the chimneys of our kitchen once in every 2 days since the accumulation of harmful particles in our chimneys gets fastened into the shelfs and they emit harmful substances into the atmosphere leading to high level pollution and Global warning. The same methodology should be applied for factories too which has high level production units while manufacturing Bricks, tiles, cement, marbles and other products. This will dwindle the pollution level into the atmosphere and will eradicate a lot of it certainly!

2) Regular servicing of car and the silencers to be checked- Delhi NCR has the maximum number of four wheelers as compared to any part of the nation. Delhi NVR four wheelers amounts to more than the total number of four wheelers in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata summed up togther! So the owners of the four wheelers, be it of Private vehicles or commercial vehicles should clutch the responsibility of getting their four wheelers serviced at frequent intervals and also paramount to the checking of the car silencers. There has been talks and discussions around legal affidavits across car silencers emitiing carbon monoxide and other harmful gases into the atmosphere due to lack of servicing and callous maintenance and this is crucial hereforth to get the legal documentation for car maintenence.

3) Smoking booths to be introduced- In European countries like Italy, Spain they have introduced smoking booths at the corner of every streets in order to reduce public smoking and also taking care of the needs of smokers. Identical cases should be allocated in India too, in order to emit the smoke into the atmosphere leading to pollution and Global warming. On a daily basis, we rendevouz enough smokers smokin on road sides and streets and pavements and the smoke emitted pollutes the environment also leading to passive smoking for non- smokers.

4) Technology rendering artificial rain- Climatic conditions all across tyhe globe todays calls for technologies rendering artificial rains on bi-weekly or monthly basis in cities like Delhi and Beijing, The use of water to eradicate Global warming and pollution catches utmost priority and should be mizzled across the cities by the Municipal corporations to reduce the level of atrocities leading to hazardous heath effects!

There has been endless discussions, debates and arguements on this fact leading to null! Its high time to start the movement and fortify this with all our might to our welfare and the nations and natures welfare! Increase in 2 degrees of temparature in the next 20 years will drastically refrain the growth of wheat, flour and the major ingredients which we need to make a survival on this plaet. Time to start a movement and revolutionise the climate with unity!

Arnab's Republic: Breaking the ice, revolutionazing the Media Genre!

A break of Six months from the real face of the Media was chronic and parallely obnoxious. At a fleck it was pretty much diagnosed that the Media will be back with its monotony and rationale reporting with no Slant by themselves. Sooner that we discerned the vibes of the Media monotony that we were conferred by Mr Arnab Goswami that he was on the verge of launching his very own media house by the name 'Republic TV' and there was an aroma of the statuette of the Revolutionized Media making a major come back! The vigilant aura and the Dynamic reporting was soon going to be back with a huge bash and crash all TRPs with earthlings of all age group not willing to handover the remote for daily soaps and other entertainments.

Arnab Goswami has always been a role model (At least should be) for all Journalists who should idealise him for his assault against injustice and havocs on the grounds of his own country and his lustrous hecatomb nature for his Motherland. Till the time he was not in the Journalism picture, there was a typical stereotyping of Journalism which only perturbed to reporting news and moderating debates. We have always heard some vogus panel members heating up the chairs in the newsroom expounding shits and the Moderator just stayed quite ambiguously moderating the debates. For people who think that Journalists are only meant to moderate and report and not express their views, let me advise you to domicile in the modern idiosyncrasy. We live in the largest democracy in the world with every earthling that dwells having his/her right to express opinions and speaking up. Be it of any profession and Journalists are the one who should prominently express their views and cease the Panel members from vomiting out their horrifying views and statements percolating into their rogue and vantage outlook and creeping into their Orthodox nature romancing well with them! No one in this country has their tongue locked for not being able to speak up. No code has been particularly set up for journalists to abide their job only till moderating debates and reporting news. Even if there is a code set up someday, the Journalists should be given the most freewill to speak up and express their opinions. Its utmost crucial to realise that Media plays a strong role in democracy and Journalists should be the role model for all! The basis of journalism as the fourth estate and a watchdog for corruption and injustice brings an unequivocal responsibility for journalists to be equally skilled and hard-working as they are virtuous and ethical.


In the past too we have seen foreign journalists who has always been fearless in terms of placing opinions and reporting news and they are set up the standards for Journalism which a lot of people lack and fail to intercept. To name few of the idols, we could idealise Robert Fisk, Kate Adie and many more who has portrayed the veritable countenance of Journalism. They has always been stern, motive oriented and always ensured to fight for the true cause and against all evil. Being a true believer of RTI, I do honour Arnab Goswami as the best Journalist in this country and a treat to worldwide journalism. I believe there lies nil reason for anyone who loves their country to not support Arnab in his work and the new venture Republic TV which is already creating the buzz by its mettlesome news reporting targeting the lads from the ministry and exposing their malicious deeds with Lucid proof materials justifying every bit of it. There has been a new breeze of Journalism soothing our mind and justifying their cause in the best way possible. Let’s sail with it and stand with the fearless and unbiased person sacrificing every bit of his life to make the Nation know and get acquainted with the reality!

Ban on rs.500 and rs.1000 notes a good move! Well, what about the planning and foreseeing consequences?

There was a realm of patriotism and praises of Narendra Modi in cats and dogs when he stepped out of the Union Cabinet meeting declaring the ban of 500 and 1000 notes from midnight on 8th November, 2016. Without a pinch of doubt, its a clear fact that is measure was a bold one and the sole motive was to curb the black money corruption. The better counterpart was when he did not allow the black money holders a stance to convert their black money to white through conversions and franchise. Post declarations, there were predictions around property prices going down and terrorism from Pakistan coming down to zero. Indians have full fledgedly kept on supporting and still hold the same stand with full might.

But now comes the real issue! There was a sigh of relief when there was a counter declaration that ATMs and banks would be closed for one and two days and then things would be back to normal. The PM and RBI has consistently promised the citizens that things would get back to normal from 11th November and have declared banks to be open. Now if we move out and check the current scenario of the country, there is something abnormal about it! ATMs and Banks are running cashless and they have been running out of cash for the past 6 days. We as middle class people have got access to online transactions and purchases, but what about the poor people? They have no other modes of expenses other than cash transactions. The banks are getting cashless after 1-2 hrs of opening daily and then all they are left with is the newly launched rs, 2000 notes! This is another big issue now. No one in this country has got changes of Rs. 2000 and even if they have, people are not deemed to risk up and give the change. So common people are left with no other option than to hold that amount in hand and hover hopelessly. The fruit and vegetable vendors are not being able to sell their stuffs since people have no cash and they dont have access to ATMs and Bank accounts. They somehow make their living. Shops have no supply in the market since cash transactions have come to a hault. People standing outside the ATMs and Banks fighting and crying! Guards in banks and ATMs comes out after 1-2 hours daily notifying that they are left with no cash.

Now lets evaluate the other side of the wall! 3 deaths and suicides have occurred in 3 days since the Doctors have refused to accept the old currencies and the woman was pregnant. The child died first and then the woman committed suicide. There must be a query, why cant people suffer a bit for a better India? A quite valid question and all of us looks for a better India with tremendous growth in terms of GDP but the question is will this plan really succeed? Its very easily comprehended that this bold step was declared and decided without any effective planning. The consequences were not taken into consideration and no measures were taken to combat the harsh part of it. Everyone would like to foresee a better India but can i see it at the cost of lives of the poor people at present? What if they completely run out of cash sometime? A plethora of thefts and suicides will follow and this will lead to outrage and protests. We still do not have a written statement by the PM or RBI governer regarding the exact tenure of this inconvinience. People in this country are still in darkness with no assurance of how much time will they have to remain cashless! So summing up every aspect, what i can foresee right now and conclude is that, this step is indeed the bold and best one to make a better India but if the situation at present is not bought under control, the consequences will turn out to be severeand uncontrollable. To question again, can we see a better India at the cost of the lives of poor people at present?

Importance of Cost Monitoring Solution for Airlines

The airline industry is a service industry with a low level of profitability because it is labor, capital, and technology expenses. It is also affected by external environmental changes as well as internal operations. Among other things, jet fuel is a major component of commercial airlines’ operational costs. Therefore, airline companies must always exercise cost control, especially after having experienced the extreme crude oil price increases. According to International Air Transport Association (IATA) statistics, in 2008 the global airline industry’s fuel bill in 2008 grew somewhere between $31 and 165 billion USD, and lost about $16.8 billion USD, which accounted for 31% of operating expenses at $99USD/barrel Brent of oil. Thus, improving fuel-efficiency continues to top the agenda of the airline industry. Under this challenging economic environment, operation cost control is of the utmost importance to the airline industry.

When we discuss about Operational costs, it includes a plethora of expenses that needs to be cut short. During a flight operation, there are multiple costs that needs to be pulled down in order to assure maximum profitability. These costs includes Fuel, Parking charges, covering air space charges, maintenance cost particularly. This not only helps an airline to reduce their operational costs but also helps them to attain a competitive edge in the domestic as well as International Market. This in turn plays a major role in the Revenue Management also since it helps the airlines to provide a competitive pricing to the Travel Agents through different GDS. Lets discuss few points that could help airlines reduce their cost of Operations and Manage their expenses in an organized manner:-

1)     Manage the cost of Project:-
                                                         Managing the cost of Project is one of the most important project management activities that would help us to complete the task within the estimated cost that suits the airlines. A proper guidance along with effective management objective is required by the Project Manager and the team who plays a major role in effective planning.

2)     Deciding on the Budget:-
                                         Budget planning is one of the most crucial and difficult activity to be executed. This requires a lot of Strategic planning and research. Now planning and research doesn’t necessarily mean only data available to determine the expenses as per the revenue and capital but also going back to previous expenses and experiences in terms of cost reduction and profitability. We need to keep a close eye at the competitors and understand their strategy, make comparisons and gain something out of it.

3)     Tracking the Expenses:-
                                       There should be an effective IT tool with effective resources to keep a track of the costs that is being incurred at every phase. This would help in tracking the actual cost against the estimated cost and with tracking the cost at every phase, it will help to stimulate the upcoming costs and help to manage them accordingly. This would infact allow us to take a decision if a new work can be adjusted within the objected cost.

4)     Time Management:-
                                  Although most airlines take this quite casually but it’s a fact that managing time effectively is equivalent to reducing cost. There are different phases of a Project/Operation. If there is a delay in any of the phase, it will highly affect the cost of the entire project since we need to meet the deadlines. In that case, we might need deploy more resources and make more expenses in the tools to meet the deadlines. Again this will definitely increase the cost.

This could only be attained if Airlines opt for an effective Cost Monitoring Framework which would not only be helpful to them on an internal expense perspective but it would also lead to reduction of ticket pricing for the customer and the Airline can accommodated additional services for their customers which would satisfy them more and help increase Loyal Customer base

Terrorism and Evil had their roots since 11th Century

We all are aware of the term 'Jihad'. This is the term used by the Muslim community to justify their evil deeds and proclaiming themselves to be messengers of Allah. Jihad has a clear denotation that goes on to say that they need to kill people to save their religion. If they return alive they will be contemplated as veracious towards their religion, if not their Martyrs. Now, we all feel that Jihad is the root of terrorism. 

How many of us are well versed with the term 'Crusades'? This was something that was intercepted in the 11th century by Pope Urban II. Crusades is something which is actually quite in-depth knowledge and to talk about that would consume the entire article. So lets not get into in-depth details and just get the cursory understanding of it. We all know the realm of hatred that flew among the Jews and Christians for each other since the Crucification of Jesus. Millions of lives lost, properties damaged leading to an entire massacre. Before the Christians had to finally forgive the Jews since they couldn't deny the fact that their God was also a Jew and hating Jews would be equivalent to hating their own God.  But in the 11th Century, there was a religious war that was called by Pope Urban II which clearly meant that any one who goes to Jerusalem, kills the Jews and takes the city captive would be considered true follower of Messiah and would be sent to heaven after death. Following the belief, there was a series of Religious wars that was witnessed from 11th-15th Century. Now lets understand why people know more about Jihad and not crusades. Its simply because of lack of Digitalization in the 11th Century. We didn't have media, internet, to get access to the evil that was occurring then. People considered it to be holy without being eloquent about the fact that any movement which is a reason of killing millions of people is nothing but evil. Since we are in the 21st century now and we have high access to media and internet, we know what Jihad is and curse the Muslim community. However, i am not in support of any religion and talk in terms of humanity. But if Jihad is something that makes us curse the Muslims, i guess we should be sensitive enough to curse the Christians for Crusades. There has always been hatred in this world. We used to feel that in the early days commoners used to forge a peaceful living. But studying facts in depth proves that 11th century marks the beginning of Evil and Terrorism. Never to forget the evil which was committed by the Jews, Crusades was a revenge. But understanding the manifest, reason of all terrorism is envy and revenge.

How long will this continue? Revenge is an unending affair. Honest people are being mutiliated, new born children are found dead on roads, people in Syria have no gurantee of making a living tomorrow for themselves and their families, commoners dying out of hunger and thirst. Are we becoming so selfish that we are blindfolded with the notion of revenge that we are least bothered for the lives of honest people? Remembering few lines from the song 'Heal The World' by Michael Jackson, 'There are people dying, if you care enough for the living, make a better place for you and for me'.

India's obsession towards sports

We have always been under the dillema as to why Indians have not been successful in presenting the world sportsmen or sportswomen. We have always passed the buck to Indian families who have always had been the victim of the typical stereotyping of educating their children to become Doctors, Engineers, MBA's and other reputed departments to make an earning. But today its time to break the ice and get the facts cleared.

India has always been successful in producing the best sportsperson in various sports, be it Cricket, Hockey, Badminton, Lawn Tennis, Table Tennis, Boxing, Wrestling and many others. Our childhood has always been accompanied by the memories of Sachin Tendulkar and the way he used to play with his magic wand. This Maestro has proved himself to be the best cricketer in the history and has left no stones unturned to change the entire history of cricket. Even now the champion who is on his way to break the record of Sachin is another Indian who we know as Virat Kohli. Moving towards hockey which is still considered to be the National Sports of our country, we simply cannot ignore the contributions of Dhanraj Pillay and Dhyan Chand. They were the members of 3 Olympic Gold Medals that India has won in 1928, 1932 and 1936, Unfortunately now Indian Hockey team has slightly degraded. The sole reason of mine using the terminology 'Slightly' has risen from the fact that in Rio Olympics 2016, Indian hockey team is presenting a mesmerizing performance defeating the champions. There are many more to speak about and their feathers on the cap has always proved that Indians has never lagged behind to give the universe masters of different sports. To speak about some more examples, lets take a bow to salute Sania Mirza, Saina Nehwal, PT Usha, Vijender Singh, Sushil Kumar, PV Sindhu, Sakshi Malik, Abhinav Bindra, Milkha Singh, Mary Kom and many more. Had not they been supported by their family, they would have just been some engineers, professors, Management Trainee in the market leading a simple life.

To be unbiased, yes there are many from the past and even in the present that many sportsperson and athletes are not being recognized for their talents. But should we held the parents solely responsible for this? Doesn't the Government and sport bodies have no role to play? One of the biggest drawback in India is Dirty politics that has been a reason for Lakhs of sportsmen being left as vagabond. They have not been rewarded for their talent and have always been showed the door. This doesn't go on to say that there should be a reservation system in Sports but its utterly vague to ignore the real talents just because of politics and money making. We got to understand the reason for not considering sports to be as respectable as that of an Engineer, Doctor, MBA? This is one of the fields where we lag behind China and USA. They have equally accredited sports in their school and university curriculam as they have done with the other theoritical subjects. In China there is a compulsion in every school for a minimum of 2 years training in Marshal arts just to ensure that in case there is any attack bestowed on China, every family has army men ready to defend! In USA as well, athletics have been made a compulsion. Then why in India has sports been given least importance in schools and colleges? Why do Indians have to think twice to become a sportsperson? I believe its high time that Indians should be inspired by their own countrymen who has mastered in various sports and pledge sports and athletics to be given equal consideration as Btech, MBA, MBBS, LLB, M. com and other courses.

Dhanak- Taking Bollywood to the next level

Our obsession towards Bollywood movies has always been growing and garnishing the interest to the next level. Movies are now not just a mode of entertainment but something which represents the culture and mentality of a nation. Its always a pride for any nation to get their movies represented and premiered in the International Film festivals in Los Angeles and Torronto. One of the movies that has bought absolute pride for the Indian cinema is 'Dhanak' which is a tale about two siblings from a small village in Rajasthan, moving against all odds to achieve their mission.

Its a story about a sister who is desperate about gifting her brother his lost vision before his 9th Birthday. She is a big fan of Shahrukh Khan, the famous Bollywood actor. They have lost their parents long back and was taken care by their uncle and aunt who couldn't afford the amount required to operate his eyes and get his vision back, One fine day, Pari, the elder sister saw a poster where she came to know that Shahrukh Khan was running a campaign for eye donation to poor people. Since then she has been stern to meet SRK and request him to help his brother out. Chalking out the fact that she wouldn't be supported by her uncle and aunt, she decided to carry his brother and cover a long distance to meet SRK who was about to come down to Jaisalmer for a shoot. The best part about the movie was the audience getting involved along with getting carried away by the flow of the movie. The long journey of the siblings were accompanied by multiple situations which they had to deal with. The love of the siblings was so intense that it didn't allow them to perceive the difficulty of travelling such a long distance through the Rajasthan deserts. They came across numerous people who has either helped them or tried to take some criminal advantage but somewhere down the line they had guts and blessings of God that made them achieve what they desired for.

The siblings seemed to enjoy the journey surpassing all tensions and hard times. This movie also depicts the actual meaning of love. Love has nothing to do with relations. Love is all about caring for someone and breaking all barriers to remain partners and overcome all obstacles. Love is all about desperation towards taking the best care of the other person. Love is all about staying together and facing all odds together and breaking barriers. This message was clearly depicted in this movie and it couldn't be casted in a better way. Filled with emotions, i feel that this movie is a must watch and till now it has been underrated. I would rate this movie 4/5.
