    It is said that hard work and dedication can move mountains and that’s exactly what happened with a guy who grew up in an orphanage. Gazi Abdullah secured the 46th rank in Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Services.

    He lost his dad when he was only two years old and after that was raised in an orphanage in Kashmir. He did his post-graduation from Aligarh Muslim University. He told ANI in an interview, "I credit all my success to my mother who always pushed me to pursue my dreams. Though she was uneducated, she knew the importance of a good education and hard work. We had to overcome many hurdles and I owe all my success to her.”

    He also expressed that his family was very poor and that’s the reason they sent him to an orphanage for children in Kashmir. Gazi has always been a consistent hard-worker and in class 10th exams, he secured the 10th position across the state and later also cracked the AMU entrance exam.

    He said, “Living in an orphanage was a mix of different experiences and emotions. I did my best to create opportunities out of hardships. I learned a lot of discipline as we had to wake up early and manage with one cup and one roti in the morning till lunchtime. I am glad I pursued higher education as I was like a caged parrot in the orphanage. College gave me a lot of exposure.”

    Gazi had the opportunity to get a job just after his graduation but he chose to pursue his post-graduation as he was getting many scholarships.

    “The burning passion and fire I had in me kept me going and rather than focussing on my problems, I continued to work hard. Even if several people who wrote the exam were richer and were more educated, I knew that I could do this because I believe that I had the talent for this which cannot be bought,” he added.

    He used books and the internet in the right way to reach where he is today and this only proves that you need consistency and hard work to achieve your goals in life.

    The pandemic has made many of us jobless and some people are genuinely finding it difficult to make ends meet. Recently, a video of an elderly man crying as he is not able to sell enough food and earn money has gone viral on social media. 
    The video showcases an old couple who runs a food joint called ‘Baba Ka Dhaba’ in Malviya Nagar, New Delhi.
    The video was initially shared by Gaurav Wasan on Instagram saying, “80-year-old couple selling best matar paneer. Inhe Hamari help ko bahut zarurat he.”
    Check out the video here-
    View this post on InstagramInhe hamari help ko bahut zarurat he . . . #share #foodvideo #viralvideo #old #oldcoupleA post shared by (@youtubeswadofficial)The video opens with the old man named Kanta Prasad crying as he is struggling to earn a living amid the pandemic and is unable to sell food. He also reveals that he is 80 years old and has been working since 1988. 
    In the video, the old man’s wife is making rotis and expresses how they are unable to sell even 750gms of rice and half kg dal in a day. Also, half a plate of dal only costs Rs 30 at this dhaba.
    The video is heartbreaking as when Wasan asks how much the couple is able to earn, Prasad pulls out a few 10-rupee notes from the drawer.
    The video has now gone viral on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Also, the video has already garnered over 17 lakh views on Instagram.  Just after the video went viral, many people came forward to help the elderly couple.

    Sadly there are many such people bcoz our country has been pushed into crisis. Small bit from all of us can be of huge help to many.

    Can we not take a pledge to spend our money at such eateries instead of big restaurants?
    — Anupam | अनुपम (@AnupamConnects) October 7, 2020However, now that the video has gone viral on the internet, people have started visiting ‘Baba Ka Dhaba’ and looks like it is already getting the popularity it deserved.
    Recently, YouTuber Harsh Beniwal took to Instagram saying, “Just look at this smile. Priceless. Did my part , Ap bhi jaye or kuch khake aaye. Thank you @youtubeswadofficial For making that video. God bless you bhai.”

    Even though every once in a while, one of the millions of brands from all over the world get the not-so-brilliant idea of trying to sell their products based on racial discrimination or gender objectification, we have to agree that advertising agencies have become a lot more sensitive and aware of such issues.
    But looking at some of the commercials from back in the 20th century, it is simply shocking the kind of blatancy with which social evils such as racism, gender discrimination and even child sexualisation were used to further the sales of products.
    Here are five awful 20th century commercials proving how prevalent racism and sexism were back in the era:
    1. Kellogg’s Pep (1930) © Pinterest - Communique, Inc
    An advertorial crafted to promote the famous cereal brand Kellogg’s ‘Pep’, the image shows a husband telling his wife “So the harder a wife works, the cuter she looks!” as the wife looks happily towards him with a mini-broom in her hands.

    2. Pears’ Soap (Early 1900s) © AbeBooks
    Introduced first in 1807 by Andrew Pears in London, Pears continues to be one of the leading soap brands of the world. However, back in the early 1900s, their strategy to sell their products was simply to show how “cleanliness” was “the white man’s burden”. 

    3. Love’s Baby Soft (1975) © Reddit - Reddit__PI 3
    Love’s Baby Soft used to be popular among teenage girls back in the day and the brand chose the creepiest way to go ahead with their marketing idea - sexualising children. While the tag line “Because innocence is sexier than you think” isn’t bad on its own, it becomes completely unacceptable when you have a baby’s image in the same poster. What’s worse is that they even had a television commercial in which a fully grown woman is seen sucking a lollipop and a man’s voice says “a baby that grew up very sexy”.


    4. N.K. Fairbank Company © mgb1967
    Based on the trend, it seems the job of the marketing team of soaps back in the day was extremely easy - be racist. The NK Fairbank Company’s idea of promoting white supremacy was similar to Pears’ but it was a lot more “in your face”! While trying to sell their “Fairy Soap” the company came up with a poster in which a white baby (in clean clothes) asks a black baby (in dirty rugged clothes) why his mama doesn’t wash him with the fairy soap.

    5. Marlboro (1950s) © Insh
    There was a time when Marlboro Cigarettes used baby images on their posters to try and reach out to all the over-stressed parents and urge them to start smoking their cigarettes to lighten up a bit. They also promised that their product won’t make them feel “over-smoked” and said that it was the “Miracle of Marlboro”.

    Almost all the powerful flagship Android phones are powered by the processors made by Qualcomm. They make some of the best SoC out there and are rightfully dominating the space. The company is now gearing up to announce their new Snapdragon 875 SoC later this year, but we have a new report which says that they're working on a gaming phone.
    Yes, it looks like Qualcomm is working on a gaming phone. The report claims that Qualcomm will partner with ASUS to make these new phones. This first product in this lineup is expected to as early as the end of this year.
    © Reuters
    “Qualcomm reportedly will team up with Asustek Computer to develop and launch its own-brand gaming smartphones at the end of 2020 at the earliest, according to industry sources,” says the report. 

    This new gaming phone is expected to be the first phone in the world to be powered by the upcoming new Snapdragon 875 SoC. We don't have much info on the processor itself, but you can expect it to be one of the fastest processors out there on the market, going head-to-head Apple's new processors for the new iPhones.

    At this point, it's not entirely clear if we'll get a new ROG Phone under this partnership or we'll see a new line up altogether. We're hoping to learn more about this partnership and these new phones in December during the Snapdragon Tech Summit 2020. The Tech Summit is going to be a virtual event this year due to the pandemic and it'll take place on December 1 & 2.

    Kangana Ranaut is back in the news after people started targeting her for not returning her National Award unlike she had earlier claimed on national television in an interview in regards to Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case. The Queen actor has hit back at Swara Bhasker and all those who were trending 'Kangana Award Wapas Kar' on Twitter.
    Yesterday, Swara wrote, 
    "Thank YOU YES! #BombayHighCourt" and stood by Rhea Chakraborty. Swara also took a dig at Kangana Ranaut and said, “Hey! Now that both CBI and AIIMS have concluded that #SushantSinghRajput tragically died by suicide... weren't some people going to return their government bestowed awards.”And now, Kangana has finally responded in an attempt to shut down haters in her own way. She tweeted,
     “ये है मेरा इंटर्व्यू अगर याददाश्त कमज़ोर हो तो फिर से देखें, अगर मैंने एक भी झूठा या ग़लत आरोप लगाया हो, तों मैं अपने सारे अवार्डस वापिस कर दूँगी, ये एक क्षत्रिय का वचन है, मैं राम भक्त हूँ, प्राण जाए पर वचन ना जाए, जय श्री राम #KanganaAwardWapasKar (Here is my interview, if memory is weak, then see again, if I have made a single false or false accusation, I will return all my awards, this is the promise of a Kshatriya, I am a devotee of Rama and I don’t break promises.)”ये है मेरा इंटर्व्यू अगर याददाश्त कमज़ोर हो तो फिर से देखें, अगर मैंने एक भी झूठा या ग़लत आरोप लगाया हो, तों मैं अपने सारे अवार्डस वापिस कर दूँगी, ये एक क्षत्रिय का वचन है, मैं राम भक्त हूँ, प्राण जाए पर वचन ना जाए, जय श्री राम #KanganaAwardWapasKar https://t.co/j6H8zLsuEp
    — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) October 7, 2020
    However, people started trolling her once again and even went to ask when she was finally returning her awards.

    4. Kangana says he was murdered.
    5. Kangana takes a U-turn to say that it's an abetment to suicide case.

    We have said this before and we will say it again - you really do not want to mess with India’s Armed Forces, especially the Indian Air Force.  
    We have the fourth largest air force in the world, not to mention, one of the most capable ones.
    © BCCL
    Pick any battle or war in recent history, and you’ll see how crucial the Indian Air Force has been. Apart from the bravery and commitment of the personnel serving in the Indian Air Force, the reason why we have proven to be so deadly is our arsenal of missiles.

    © Reuters
    Even though we have a great variety of missiles and a huge stockpile of missiles ready for deployment, we are in the process of developing some of the deadliest and most advanced missiles in the world.

    © Reuters
    We take a look at some of the deadliest missiles that we currently have, or are in the process of developing:

    1. BrahMos A © BrahMos Aerospace
    Jointly developed by Russia & India, the Brahmos is one of the deadliest missiles in the world today. It can be launched from a number of platforms, and clearly, is the most versatile missile in the world, while also being the fastest cruise missile. 

    The BrahMos A has a speed of Mach 3 or over 3,700 km/h and a range of 500 kms. It is capable to hit land-based targets, as well as water-based targets.
    Currently, a new variant, BrahMos II, that will have a top speed of Mach 7, among other upgrades, is under development.
    2. Astra Missiles © Indian Air Force
    When it comes to missile development, BVRs, or missiles that are capable of hitting targets that are ‘Beyond Visual Range’ are the future. 

    The Indian Air Force has two such BVR Missiles in their arsenal, the Astra Mk 1 and Astra Mk 2. The Astras are completely indigenous and the first air-to-air missiles that India has developed and made on its own. They can engage targets between 10-110 kms and are crucial in dog fights and warding off enemy air crafts.
    Two additional variants, Astra IR and Astra Mk 3 are currently being developed. The Mk 3 will have an extended range, and capable of engaging more targets, whereas the IR is an infrared-guided or “heat-seeking” missile.
    3. HeliNa © Mil Moscow
    Currently under development, the HeliNa is a variant of the Nag range of missiles. The Nag missiles are again completely indigenously developed and built. Nag missiles are our only range of anti-tank missiles. 

    The HeliNa is basically an upgraded version of the Nag missiles that can be launched from the attack helicopters that India has. The current generation of HeliNa is also called the Dhruvastra, and are infrared capable, and can be guided remotely by an operator. 
    Like all Nags, it can also be fired in a way, which allows the pilot to just lock-on to a target, fire the missile and not track the shot. 
    © ANI
    Another variant of the HeliNa, called the SANT, or the Standoff Anti-tank Guided Missile, which has an extended range of 25 kms, is also under testing as of writing this article.

    4. Novator KS 172 © Wiki Commons
    Developed initially by Russia in the 1980s, this is one of the oldest missiles that we have. That doesn’t mean that it isn’t deadly, no way. On the contrary, this is actually one of the main air-to-air missiles that we have today, and for good reason. 

    It is still being used by the Russian Air Force, as well as the Indian Air Force. It has a range of 400 kms and a top speed of over 4,000 km/hr.
    5. HAMMER AASM © Dassault
    The newly-inducted Dassault Rafale fighter aircraft comes equipped with the Hammer AASM. It is one of the most capable air-to-land missiles and is classified as an AASM or Air-to-Ground Modular Weapon. 

    There are a number of variants of the HAMMER. The basic variant carries a 250 kg explosive head and is enabled with a GPS system. The second variant comes equipped with an infrared homing guidance system or “heat detection” as it is rudimentarily known. 
    The third variant comes with a more advanced, laser-guided target system, which gives it more precision.
    6. Python 4 & Python 5 © Rafael Advanced Defense Systems
    Developed & built by Israel, the Python 4 & Python 5 are the mainstay of our air-to-air missiles. 

    The Python 4 has a top speed of Mach 3.5, a range of 15 kms and is guided by lasers and an infrared system. The Python 5 is currently the most advanced and most capable short-range air-to-air missiles in operation today, and has a speed of Mach 4, with a range of just under 20 km. 
    Python 5 also has the ability to lock on to a different target, after it has been launched. Both, the Pythons in our arsenal, are one of the few “heat-seeking” missiles that can reduce the effectiveness of flares deployed by the enemy aircraft. That is not to say that it completely negates the effects of flares.
    7. ASRAAM © MBDA
    Like the Pythons, the ASRAAM is an air-to-air missile system that has “heat-seeking” capabilities. The ASRAAMs however, have a range of 50 kms, and a top speed of Mach 3. 

    It is said to be one of the most agile missiles in active service today. Due to its longer range, and speed this is said to be capable of outrunning all other major IR enabled short-range missiles.
    8. Anti-Radiation Missile or NGARM © BCCL/DRDO
    One of the most valuable assets in warfare is the ability to see and communicate. Thus, one sure shot way to gain an advantage over your enemies is to disable their ability to see and communicate. 

    India’s DRDO is in the process of developing and building an indigenous anti-radiation missile, that will be capable of disabling enemy radar and transmitters. This missile is said to have a range of over 110 kms. 
    If successfully inducted into the IAF, this will make India the 4th country after US, Russia & Germany to have a missile that can disable enemy radars stations and transmitters in an area.

    When rainwater gets stored underground, it seeps through different kinds of rocks and takes in the minerals like calcium, magnesium and sulphates. This mineral-rich water is called hard water which we unknowingly use every day.

    Final ThoughtsHard water can weaken your hair and make it feel greasy and soapy even after the wash. But the hair fall due to hard water is not permanent and can be reversed by changing your water system and using a few products.
