    Leaving before a workday gets over is like an adventure in its own right, and we're all guilty of this adventure.Β 
    However, while some offices are fairly liberal about this policy, others can be extremely particular about their work hour policies.Β 
    For instance, in some cases, like an office that is part of the Board of Education of Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture in Japan, leaving early is not permissible at all.Β 
    In fact, in cases when people have left early, the management hasn't been reasonable at all.

    According to The Sankei News, this office found a whopping 316 instances wherein people had written a false time on their card so they could leave work early.Β 

    Starting from a 59-year-old female employee, an assistant section chief of the Lifelong Learning Department, who was apparently responsible for helping others to leave work before time.Β 
    For this, she was handed a one-tenth reduction in salary for over three months in order to recoup the loss of over 137,000 yen which comes down to Rs 91,026, approximately, as a result of the early departures.

    Two other staff members, a male aged 27, and another female staff member in their 60s were also given written warnings, along with four others who were given verbal caution for the same.Β 

    It looks like the employees had internally come up with a system to leave early from work.Β 
    This reminds us of the time when in the series The Office, all the employees fooled Michael, their boss into believing it was time to announce EOD (end of day) when it clearly wasn't.

    The woman who got the pay cut would leave work two minutes earlier than her finishing time of 5.15 pm so that she could take the bus at 5.17 pm, considering the next bus would arrive after another 30 minutes.Β 

    People reacted to the news by saying, "How many companies pay properly on a minute-by-minute basis? If that were the case, then staff who work one minute overtime should get paid for it.".
    There was another comment which said,Β  It would be nice if, when they found out about the bus timetable, they could make some flexible arrangement for government workers like getting them to come in a bit earlier instead."
    A third also added, "People already arrive at least five minutes earlier than their scheduled time for work, so you’d think it would be okay for them to leave two minutes early."
    Closer home, someone wanted to implement these rules here.
    Dear @narendramodi ji, is it possible to implement the same rules even in India?@PMOIndia @rsprasad
    Japanese government workers punished with pay cut for leaving work 2 minutes early https://t.co/VjcN1gID8P
    β€” Kiran C Kumar (@imkiranckumar) March 16, 2021 People also lamented these rules in Japan.
    The future of a Japanese?By the aggravation of the labor market, worker become the pay cut!By the way…I am Japanese unemployed.鬱
    β€” ち぀か BL(futukaBL) (@futukabl) December 1, 2010Β Clearly, a reasonable understanding from the company's side is necessary to implement these rules.Β

    In another episode of this happens only in India, Uttarakhand CM Tirath Singh Rawat has hurt people’s sentiments when he made controversial comments on women wearing ripped jeans and how they are not providing the right environment for children at home.

    CM Rawat had made these comments on Tuesday at a workshop organized by the Uttarakhand State Commission for Protection of Child Rights in Dehradun.
    He also said that he was shocked to see women running an NGO in ripped jeans and was extremely concerned as to what example she was setting for the society.

    He said, β€œIf this kind of woman goes out in the society to meet people and solve their problems, what kind of message are we giving out to society, to our kids? It all starts at home. What we do, our kids follow. A child who is taught the right culture at home, no matter how modern he becomes, will never fail in life.”

    He expressed his disfavor for showing β€˜bare knees’ and children being exposed to such an environment. He said that we are running towards the West and towards nudity.
    He said, "Kaynchi se sanskaar (culture by scissors) - showing bare knees, wearing ripped denim, and looking like rich kids - these are the values being given now. Where is this coming from, if not at home? What is the fault of teachers or schools? Where am I taking my son, showing his knees and in tattered jeans? Girls are no less, showing their knees. Is this good.”
    Among the first to react to the Uttarakhand Chief Minister's views was Congress leader Sanjay Jha.
    He said, β€œWearing "#rippedjeans" destroys our culture, it seems. It leads to substance abuse. And a societal breakdown. Women should strictly avoid this sacrilege against our pristine customs, says Uttarakhand CM. Dear BJP, this is your CM Tirath Singh Rawat: Do you endorse this.”

    Here’s what people have to say about this-
    To me, and I'm sure, all those who follow fashion, or have a sense of fashion, find ripped jeans fashionable and fascinating! How is it connected with culture?? They look good on you
    β€” Alan jones (@Alanjones2410) March 17, 2021Precisely one of the reasons he was made CM...
    β€” hp (@hpinto74) March 17, 2021Don't wear phatahua jeans as it will activate your "Rahu" and you may get into financial hardship and isolation.
    β€” Salil Mathur (@Saliltoday) March 17, 2021Sanjay, he is Echoing the sentiment and ideology of same organization whose mouthpiece #organizer was being praised by you in not too distant past. @atti_cus @ajay43
    β€” Shail59 (@Shail591) March 17, 2021Ripped jeans have been in vogue for like two decades!......you can’t stop progress ....but on a more serious note let’s talk about the β€˜ripped’ state of the economy pls and how you plan to address that.

    Just when we thought the pandemic is about to take a backseat now, finally, it became clear that things aren't nearly close to being normal yet. All our dreams of getting drunk in cheap bars and attending shady clubs with free shots will have to wait, but what really suffers is our day to day, practical life. For example, we still can't visit salonsΒ without being concerned about the potential repercussions.

    via GIPHY
    But just like the human race has survived countless catastrophic events, this time is no different, and home salon servicesΒ came up as a blessing. Yes we may be in the middle of a pandemic but how on earth does that justify having continuous bad hair days?


    via GIPHY
    As glad as we are that we're surviving at an age when home salon services are a thing, there are a few things that we need to be careful about, to not convert that into a risky little affair. Here are 3 things to strictly not do when you've called a salon service home for a haircut/shave/massage.

    via GIPHY
    1. Let's start with 'not sanitizing them at the doorstep'. Yes, promises of safety are made everywhere, but does it mean you should stop being careful? Nope. Please keep two things ready - a bottle of hand sanitizer and a bottle of spray on sanitizer.


    via GIPHY
    Ask them to sanitize their hands, and use the spray on sanitizer on the surface of their shoes and other stuff they are about to carry in. Mostly, we can trust service providers with being safe, but please do keep in mind that they are also, at the end of the day, humans. Take responsibility for your own safety, especially if you have children and elderly people living in the same house.Β 
    via GIPHY
    2. The second point may be a bit tricky to understand, but please bear with us. When they enter and ask you to show them the place where the haircut will take place, please don't just let them be. By that we mean, help them set it up.Β 
    Β 

    via GIPHY
    Show them where the chair will be, which direction it will face, where to keep the mirror so that you can clearly see the haircut being executed just like in a salon, whether there is ample lighting, whether the plug point is close enough for them to comfortably use their appliances etc. Sounds like basic courtesy? Yes, but doing this is extremely important as not paying attention to any of these things can result in a horrible haircut, and that would be all on you.

    (I have a friend who legit cried after a home haircut. He's 30.)Β 
    via GIPHY
    3. Gloves are a safety measure, for sure, but do insist them to remove them and wash their hands instead, properly. The reason is, most salon personnel in India are used to not wearing gloves, and they have had to just get used to them in a very small amount of time because of the pandemic.Β 
    via GIPHY
    During something as tricky as giving someone a haircut or a shave, dexterity is of paramount importance. Every move, every glide counts and it only makes sense for you to let them be as comfortable as possible while at it. Also, if there is a head massage or eyebrow threading included, they will have to get rid of their gloves midway anyway. So, it just makes sense for you to be prepared, cooperate with them, and let them be comfortable to get the best out of it.Β 
    via GIPHY
    Another thing that you should be careful about is to make prior cleaning arrangements depending on whether the salon personnel is carrying a portable vacuum cleaner or not. If they aren't, and you don't have one either, it always makes sense to put down old newspapers or sheets that can be discarded along with all the hair. A bit of prior planning can make the whole experience extremely hassle-free for you!

    Plastic surgery may be a polarising ideaΒ for a lot of people. But at the end of the day, it is a deeply personal choice.Β 
    However, the choices that some people make, leave most of us scratching our headsΒ asking, β€œWhy?”
    Β© Instagram/levijedmurphy
    A British man, who goes by Levi Jed Murphy, spent about 30,000 pounds, or about Rs 30 Lakhs on plastic surgeries to look like an Instagram filter.Β Β 

    The procedures he went through include getting fillers in his lips, cheeks, jaw, chin, under his eyes, a reconstruction of his nose, slanted eyes, and a temple lift.
    Β© Instagram/levijedmurphy
    The decision to go for an Instagram filter-based plastic surgery seems bizarre to a lot of people.Β 

    While a certain section on social media accepts such practices, considering that they are an individual’s choice, a large section of the internet does not share the same perspective.Β 
    As a result, Levi has been inundated with negative and terrible messages on his social media feed.
    Β© Instagram/levijedmurphy
    Levi runs an OnlyFans account with his partner, where his plastic surgery, seems to be paying off. Ironically, it is on platforms like Instagram, where most of the backlash seems to be coming from.

    Β© Instagram/levijedmurphy
    Upon looking at his photos from before the surgery, one can confidently say, that Levi had some pretty handsome features.Β 

    Ever since the plastic surgery, Levi has been receiving comments on most of his social media platforms, comparing him to cartoons, and anime characters, and whatnot.Β 
    Levi, though, is unfazed.
    Β© Instagram/levijedmurphy
    β€œI don't let the negative comments and trolls bring me down. It doesn't make sense to let anything go to my hear. I am so used to getting horrible comments, I don't take anything to heart. Either good or bad.” said Levi to a major British publication.

    Β© Instagram/levijedmurphy
    Levi, who is now 24, got his first plastic surgery at the age of 19 when he had his first lip filler. β€œNow, because of my popularity, I get it for free now by doing promos. This has actually been a lifesaver for me,” he said.

    Β© Instagram/levijedmurphy
    And it has been indeed.Β 

    Ever since the global pandemic, Levi and his partner have become content creators on OnlyFans, a platform where people usually put up rather explicit content for their followers, or β€œfans,” who pay them directly.Β 
    Levi says he and his partner are earning over 10 times what they were earning while working in retail.

    What do you guys think about this? Do you think cosmetic surgeries should be reserved just for corrective measures, or do you feel that as with all personal choices, it all boils down to the individual? Do let us know in the comments below.
