Are you skeptic enough to succeed?


How many times you have given second thoughts on decoding Social media forwarded message as truth. Do you seriously think that all the stuffs which you receive as a forwarded message is a truth? Most of you would have forwarded those fake content to hundreds. Do you seriously think that the company is going to give you something absolutely free by just forwarding a message to 10 people? Don’t tell that you haven’t done it because we all have done it once in a life or more. I too thought that I could win an IPhone by forwarding a message to 10 people and I was wrong. The most disgusting thing I saw on social media was, if I will not send that message to 10 people, then I will die. Seriously?
Technology advancement has made our life very easy, everybody knows that, but do we know that it has made us more vulnerable and an easy target. Our personal data is sold at cheap prices to firms. How do you think, how do they get your contact details? They obviously mean those callers who call you for Credit Cards, to sell products, to ask for fund and to ask for your bank details to rob you under your nose.  
One thing I have learned in all these years since; I have been a part of Journalism industry is skepticism. Journalism taught me to be very skeptic about things, either you are going to buy a product in market or you are watching news. Every intellectual is aware of this fact that media channels have been doing yellow Journalism. And in doing so, sometimes they compromise with the authenticity of the news.
There have been many instances after a riot, when it was found that riot started because of the fake news which led to many deaths. It’s not about how much technologically advanced we have become, it’s about how we are using the tech. In a country like India where people are not skeptic and have become easy targets of political lobbied IT-Cell. A country where people easily believe whatever they get on social media and that’s why often called as emotional fools. We need to enlarge our skeptic mind and shouldn’t believe on the dangerous social media.
I am not telling here to be skeptic about family, friends or specially on better-half’s. But being skeptic about the government policies, news, content on social media, fake phone calls, business-frauds etc. can work wonders on staying away from danger and being robbed. We should become vigilant on anything which enters our hippocampus. This will help us succeed, take my word.

The rise of a new fraud in the name of Dream Cruise Job.

The country has seen so many positive changes in all these years, the new government has availed many schemes for the skill development and career opportunities yet lots of young graduates are struggling to get proper jobs. S killed and well-educated job seekers don’t get the right opportunity which has led many cases of people suffering from anxiety and depression sometimes resulting in suicides.   There have been many episodes by known Hindi Journalist Ravish Kumar regarding the struggle of youths getting government jobs which rose protests all over the country. The journalist tried to make a difference but his effort wasn’t good enough to impress the government to avail jobs and right the wrong. The Lack of jobs have opened portals for fraud and scam where a job seeker is promised a permanent job and he/she is asked for money which is never refunded and then they vanish. It hasn’t been many days since the young Sagar Thakur also known as “Shaggy” the alleged mastermin...

Democracy allows protest, not violence and death with it.

We have seen many popular protests in India. Some were democratic and some were non-violent and undemocratic. Famous Anna Hazare’s agitation for Lokpal Bill in country’s Capital was non-violent and very cooperative. Jat Agitation in country was violent and the government lost crores. And then there were people who went mad over arresting of Ram Rahim Baba. Here also we lost capitals. Before few days farmers were protesting in Maharashtra which was very silent and non-violent. Protests and agitations makes democracy beautiful but on the name of them if you are involved in killing of people how could you justify it. Great Mahatma Gandhi had many shades, his best one was non-violence. However, some people think that there were instances where he should have gone against it. The country lost millions of Capital with the Bharat Bandh today when people were on road protesting against the decision of supreme court in making changes in SC\ST act. Disagreeing with the decision and marchi...
