Is WhatsApp killing Indian’s Mind?
The social networking revolution gave birth to thousands of apps that made communication at the touch of a button. WhatsApp established itself as the major player among all other communication apps. But the same app is being misused to a large extent, and the promotion of ‘absurd content’ is not only affecting the app’s reputation, but also the mind of the reader.
With a recent message becoming viral, many Indians are in an awe. ‘When we receive a WhatsApp message from our close contacts, there is a high tendency to become judgmental to that post/message even before thinking rationally’ said a psychologist. The recent message ‘Bank pays INR 160 for INR 2000 as interest @ 8%, while it charges INR 260 for INR 2000 as interest @ 13%. Surprisingly, we end up paying INR 360 as GST while spending INR 2000 @ 18%’, has gone viral.
For the ignorant, in many developed countries like Japan, banks pay ‘Negative Interest rate’. It means that the depositor has to pay a certain fee to the bank to secure his/her money. It’s quite common to charge a minimal interest rate of 10%-15% (annually) even in developed nations. And unknowingly, we did pay taxes @ 15%-20% before GST implementation. This kind of messages not only shadow the ‘real understanding’ of economics but also alters the reader’s mind. Dear readers, do understand the fact that, with growing economy, the interest on deposits will come down further, and the interest towards bank loans is also expected to come down. Let’s not share spam, and let us keep ourselves educated.

North Korea has conducted 6 nuclear tests in the recent few months, and claimed one test did belong to the indigenously developed ‘Hydrogen bomb’. Provocative acts and talks from North Korea’s Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-un always Japan and South Korea on a high alert every now and then.
Recently US President Donald Trump also stated that ‘North Korea can only understand one way, and that’s definitely not through diplomatic talks. It will be taught a lesson it shall never forget’. With NK’s nukes on the ICBMs (Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles), and Hydrogen Bomb to be tested very soon, it looks like the world is prepared to witness a highly anticipated, but detested catastrophe after the World War II.

Rex Tillerson arrived in India, after having a 4-hour short stay in Pakistan.

Countering to this, Arun Jaitley said in an official press release that, ‘The government will be celebrating Nov. 8th as Anti-Black Money Day and all the party members and supporters will take part in the celebration. We would spread and publicize the positive results and the reforms that have taken place because of the strict decision was taken by the Government to ban INR 500 and INR 1000 on Nov. 8th, 2016.

Jagan made sure that close aides of Goutham Reddy got key positions in the party. When Vangaveeti Radha questioned the same, Jagan simply stated that people who have a strong say and footing in the public would be adorned with key positions. This also sent the waves that, Goutham Reddy is still having a strong hold on the party. This incident turned to be a reality check for Vangaveeti Radha, and now one has to wait and see how tides turn in the coming few days. It is also heard that Radha might well take a sensational decision in haste, which could well cost YSRCP in the Krishna District.

What surprised everyone is not the presence of Pawan’s friends, Trivikram and Ali, but the rumors that are circulating about their role in the party in the near future. According to nearby sources, it is learned that Trivikram would hold a key position in respect to the structuring of the party, while Ali might look after planning and execution of key events. Ali and Trivikram might also play a vital role in designing party’s promotion strategy and day-to-day activities. Though these rumors aren’t backed by any official source, they might well turn out to be true, given Pawan’s rapport and association with Trivikram and Ali.
But the demise of Jayalalithaa once again created enough void for the silver screen stars to make their way into the political sphere. Kamal Hassan has officially confirmed about his entry into politics with a new party, while Rajinikanth has confirmed his political entry, but unsure whether he would sail in his own boat or join BJP.
The surprising fact is that the next generation heroes, Vijay and Vishal are also looking forward to joining politics. While Vijay’s movies raise questions about governance, Vishal has been in the target zone for the center, after he came in support of Vijay’s Mersal movie, that became a controversy owing to the dialogues relating to GST. Vishal is known as a ‘common man’ and ‘life savior’ during hard times in TN. The odds are high that both would be a part of the politics very soon. The recent IT raids on Vishal’s production company are a clear display of Center’s Power and Authority to pulverize anyone who turns against them.

It looks like the defeat in the 2nd ODI with India, did have a grave impact on the Black Caps skipper Kane Williamson. In the 3 match ODI series India did keep its hopes alive in the must-win encounter with the Kiwis by winning the 2nd ODI that took place at the MCA Stadium, Pune yesterday. ‘Our top order has failed miserably. This is really an area of concern for us. The Indian fast bowlers
did bowl brilliantly. They were consistent in line and length, and were duly rewarded,’ said Williamson.
He also went on to add ‘there are a lot of grey areas that we need to correct. We did learn a lot from this match. We aware of the fact that we need to play exceptionally to defeat this side (India). It wasn’t easy batting on the pitch. After performing well in Mumbai, we did come to Pune with a lot of hopes. We are looking forward to performing well in Kanpur, in the 3rd ODI and clinch the series’.
