As the popularity of Personal computers came to its peak during 'dot com' familiarity so too did the rise of hacking. Famous hackers such as Kevin Mitnick made news in 1990s when Credit Card stealing and fake wire transfers become popular. Hacking is known as a technique for compromising digital devices and networks through unauthorised access for data in a computer system. This name appeared in 1970 which became popular in next decade. Movies namely War Games came up in which main characters set up regarding hacking of computer systems which later became potential national security risk. Later, a group of teenagers cracked the computer systems of major organisations which became 'hacker' in the negative sense as it now known. Even various legislations passed by the Govt. around computer crimes did not stop high profile attacks on organisations and Govt. systems rather gave birth to various types of hacking techniques and hackers. As computer systems and technology rapi...

Further to my post dated 22nd September, 2022 explaining the irresponsible, shabby manner in which Delhi hospital is, as they call, providing healthcare which results in, nothing,but causing death to patient operated for removal of stone in Gal Bladder. Taken to ICU, kept for 35 days finally death. Supreme court ordered for a forensic audit of share deal by Fortis healthcare, as reported by media in September last year, No result of such audit, if so happened, has so far come to the knowledge of public till date. Should it be treated as an addition to existing malafide intentional behaviour of hospital or court does not care to have any followup even after more than one year has passed. Myself, aged 73 years lost my wife who was admitted for removal of stone in gal bladder in August 2021. After keeping her for 35 days in ICU she was put to death by the doctor by switching off the ventilator -reason not known to me till date. On whose orders he did this is not known, signed Death certif...

As we age, maintaining balance and stability becomes increasingly important for our overall wellbeing. Seniors are particularly vulnerable to slips and falls which can lead to injuries or even death. Most people don't realise that they have a balance issue right away. They sometimes trip over objects and they believe that their own carelessness or the uneven ground is more to be blamed. Unfortunatly, when these instances of tripping or falling down happen more frequently, they start to notice a pattern and make to understand their balance issues as a chronic disease that needs to be treated.  Though lot of people make a mistake of thinking that getting older or their daily activities is getting slower causes their errors. Actually, the true source of this is a Neuron that has grown accustomed to being dormant over time. Neurons are placed all over the body especially in brain and spinal cord and nerves. It stimulates muscle contraction, plays a major role in memory, emotions and re...

It is said that eyes are windows to your soul. But what happens when eyes start giving blurry vision which is a reminder that life is not always clear and predictable. I feel that when we focus on getting rid of problems, possibilities become endless. The easiest way to solve the problem is to stop participating in the problem. Seeing the world through blurred eyes opens up your perception to new possibilities.  It teaches us to sometimes embrace the unknown.You have to trust your instincts to guide you through the haze.  It is almost in the same situation, I am passing through now after my return in June end this year from Belgium after staying with family of my daughter for one month. In fact, I went to stay for three months but due to persistent tensions brewing in my mind after my wife demise in Oct 2021 and its prolonged consequent effects, I preferred to switch over to Delhi. After some days, I started feeling of blurry vision and went for Doctor's checkup. Tests verifie...

Black money has been a main problem for all sectors of economy. It has active operations in real estate, Gold, precious metals, money markets and a lot more. In other words, this parallel economy emerges through manipulation of economic forces of demand and supply both of currency and commodities. It also emerges when trade and industry create artificial scarcity of and earn high return on investment by making profits. As a result, black money generates unreported income.  There are various factors responsible for emergence of black money which I would like to share as follows, which one needs to understand - 1. Concept of black money started from Second World War - During this time when supply of various industrial goods from traditional suppliers was cut off resulting into grave shortages of goods. British Govt. indulged into raising of taxes and diverted the funds in order to meet war expenses In these circumstancs, many indulged in making profits from the goods which were short...

During my recent visit to Brussels (Belgium), I happen to come across and visited one Osteopathy clinic for rectification of not only my knees' pain but also from short and disturbed Sleep since long. My experience to visit for Osteopathy treatment was quite satisfactory and I feel lot of relief towards the settlement of  my above problems which I now wish to share. Osteopathy is a recognised health profession distinct from nursing and pharmacy. Its regulation works the same way as regulation for doctors.It is regulated by law in 13 countries Osteopathy (a unique form of medical care) treatment was founded upon,by Dr. Andrew Taylor in 1874, sustained by the laws of nature. Nature needs no help, just no interference. An Osteopath aims to restore normal functions and the stability of joints to help the body heal itself. They use their hands to the body in different ways using a mixture of soft and forceful techniques (to muscles,ligaments)  which are based on the condition and s...

The term 'Medical Negligence' refers to the wrongful actions and ommissions made by the Doctors while dealing with patients. It is not a term defined or reffered to anywhere in any of the enacted Indian laws. As far as the laws are concened, Doctor can be prosecuted under different sections provided for in the Indian Penal code pertaining to causing death to patient due to negligence.  Medical culture encourages doctors to avoid admitting mistakes. If one becomes victim of such medical negligence, one starts to lose faith in the honesty of profession and thus compelled to believe that medical profession is taking the shape of running business where the only purpose is to earn profit and no care to the patient. This has been further reinforced by the funds flow from the Govt.(done wisely) but increased the profits of mainly private hospitals which are being run by big corporates/companies, whose main focus is on raising the value of its shares in stock exchanges.  In fact, Doct...

Debt ceiling is an artifact of pre-second World war fiscal policy. It is the total amount of money which a Govt. is authorised to borrow to meet its legal obligations. Debt is not necessarily indicator of weak economy. Almost every year, Govt. spends more than it collects in taxes, that is deficit. To make up the difference, it borrrows money, which accumulates overtime. That's the Debt. It has generally been an unpopular concept in the country's politics.  Deficit spending and the national debt go back to the founding of Republic. Big increases in recent years have come besides spending to combat COVID and on wars presently on between the countries but also to cover rising medical cost of aging population and to fund all other social services provided by the Govt. from highway construction, providing free ration, gas, electricity houses etc.The major contributor to debt is, of course, interest on debt with almost 75% of debt is owned by foreign or domestic investors.  Rising ...

Quite a lot has been reported about the growth in Indian economy by different rating agencies both at National and Interrnational levels..According to the latest data explained for the last quarter for 2022-23,  India emerged stronger from Pandemic than initially assumed with growth steady momentum which has been keeping revised thereafter.Exports increased probably due to the depreciated currency against the Dollar. But the question remains that if the economy is growing so fast, why it can't produce enough jobs?.This disconnect is probably result of India's uneven growth which is enjoyed and powered by the country's upper class. The growth is not shelling out enough jobs for the educated youth who enter workforce every year. Larger number of Indians have been going for informal sector where they have been badly effected by the inflation,especially in food prices. The disconnect is a result of uneven growth which Pandemic has dignified throwing millions of Indians into ext...

Silence is no longer an option, it is time for our conscience to wake up It is not enough to say that hospital has failed. It is a crime against humanity. Quite surprising, Govt. keeps on giving Grants and issuing orders for providing free treatment, medicines etc. in Delhi but on the other hand, no control is evident where any modus-operandi is adopted to ensure that such hospitals are following these rules strictly. Left a few cases (where influential personalities are involved) there is no such evidence of implementing rules.  We have seen it all, seeing it more, and still more every moment cries and pains of patients and their relatives scrambling for bed, oxygen, long queues in moratorium waiting to perform last rites. Parients who died in the hospitals. Hospitals never admits their fault in recognising the wrong treatment. Though there has been a long list of causes of death like Heart disease, Cancer, Covid, Accidents, Low respiratory diseases, brain stroke, diabetes,Alzheim...

Chakras have recently become well known, with the growth in popularity of Yoga. They were first mentioned in Vedas, ancient sacred texts of spiritual knowledge dating back to 1500 to 1000 BC.     Our body has 114 chakras out of which 7 chakras advancing alongside the spine are thought as the main energy points in the body. Each of these seven main chakras has a corresponding number, name, color, specific area of spine from the sacrum to the crown of head and health focus. These chakras symbolize energy centres xorrepond to a bundle of nerves, major organs and areas of spiritual body that impact our physical and emotional well being. To function at their best, these chakras need to stay open or balanced. If they get blocked, one may experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra.These seven chakras run along spine. They start at the root of spine and extend to the crown of head.  These seven chakras are -  1. Root Chakra (Muladhara) - lo...

The idea of a period of non-working rest at the end of life dates back to 1880s when Germany introduced a Govt. funded old-age pension scheme for their citizens aged 70 and above. Before it, there was no agreement that working life would come to an end while person is alive. As long as one is living, he is expected to work.  It is to be noted that lowest age of retirement is 52 in Turkey and highest 67 in Norway, Belgium and 64.3 in European Union, women are expected to live four years more than male counterparts in retirement. Change is for sure hard for everyone and the effect of shift from working to non working is huge.The fear of retirement is outliving the savings. For many people who know how to manage steady flow of income, the transition certainly create anxiety and worries. Most people are nervous about retirement since they donot have a financial plan which includes inflation, good or bad markets and lot of 'ifs'.  Five common retirement risk factors are -  1. ...

Aristotle (384-322 BCE) defined Soul as the 'first actuality' of a naturally organised body and argued its separate existence from the physical body. Soul consists of mind, charaacter, thoughts and feelings of body. It is the nonphysical aspect of a human body considered responsible for the functions of mind and individual personality and thought to live after the death of physical body. It is important to note that soul is not merely the mind. Soul has its own character. Soul is independent. Character refers to the combination of qualities which distinguish individuals from each other. Character depends upon how we behave when faced with challenges and adversities. A human being has soul, mind and body. They are separate because they are independent. They are united because they reside in same body and communicate with each other. Knowledge will give respect but character respect.  The function of soul is to maintain the spirit and the body in proper order so that they will no...

A quite impressive para of the Aarti conveying God's blessing on Managing Stress. Quote -                          "Chinta Taaki Kijiye jo unhoni hoye, yehi marg sansar ko Nanak thid na koye''. Well explains that nothing is fixed or permanent in this world so need not worry about any mishappening. People should equip themselves to cope with the stress levels.  Stress effects mental, emotional and physical health of a person. Everyone experiencex stress to some degree.

When the perceived threat is gone, systems return to normal function by relaxation response. But, in case of chronic stress, relaxation response doesn't oc...

Market exchange rates, we often use fail to express the real purchasing power of Rupee in India while expresssing India's GDP per capita income in Dollar terms. But we all know that Dollar will purchase  less commodities in USA than what we purchase in India.Thus, an alternate technique is needed to expres India's economic fundamentals while expressing them in terms of US dollar.Apart from factors like interest rates, inflation there is another economic variable which is critically most important for the economic health and progress of every country.   An important term is the PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) method is indeed a typical tool to measure the same..

Democratic deficit occurs when ostensibly (as appears or is stated to be true though not necessarily so apparently) democratic organisations or instituitions (particularly governments)  falls short of fulfilling the principles in their operations  where representative and linked parlimentary integrity becomes widely discussed. The term 'democratic deficit' describes when there is a gap between electorate's idea of what a democracy should be, and their conception of how the democracy is currently performing. Public trust leads to greater compliance with a wide range of public policies such as tax systems, public health responses, regulations etc. Also it nurtures political participation, strengthens social cohesion and builds institutional legitimacy. Without trust, sustanence of a healthy state of empowerment is not possible. Political trust is considered as necessary precondition for democratic rule, a decline in trust is thought fundamentally challenge the quality of repr...
