MAN versus MACHINE

Today, science and technology had reached great hikes .We can perform the easiest to the toughest possible jobs using a machine. From climbing the stairs to flying in air, from air conditioners to heaters, from LPG gas stoves to microwaves, from coal irons to steam irons, machines have made their places everywhere. Machines works on the basis of technologies and doesn’t requires manual labour. A man can be replaced by a machine, but can one imagine a machine replaced by a man? Think of the time when there were rarely any machines, how much hard labour was required to perform any task. The machines have not only made it easier, but also faster and better.

Machines on one hand save time and labour, they snatch jobs of the poor people on the other hand as well. And hence, machines, somewhere or the other have become a hidden cause of unemployment, which further causes poverty. A machine rarely employs two to three people. If we start replacing machines with the manual labour, think of the unemployment which will be overcome. But compromising with the quality is again a big deal. A large number of labour used to get employed in agricultural field, but now machines have occupied their places . With the increase in technology, the competition levels are also increasing day by day. And ones again, rich people are becoming richer. Due to which the vicious cycle of unemployment, poverty and illiteracy continues. But, the thing is not to quit using machines but the limited and proper use of machines.

How safe is metro for women?

Travelling by the Metro train today is a challenge in itself, especially for females. Many of the public today prefer taking the Metro over other public transport due to its being resonable, faster and comfortable service. But I believe that a majority of women do not feel safe while travelling in the Delhi Metro. Sometimes it include instances of verbal and physical harassment faced by women. Those who choose to travel in the general compartment are also harassed. There are girls who work late. But they still are afraid to take the metro after 10pm.

Then what is the motive behind running this metro which public still consider a safe transport?

A small initiative for the women will help in taking forward one more step towards making Delhi a better place.

Drinking age should be minimised in India or not ?

People use alcohol for numerous reasons; peer pressure, celebration, anxiety, sadness, boredom, rebellion and insomnia are just a few. Teens fall under the category of “people”. The legal drinking age is currently twenty-one, but illegally drinking age is as low as zero. Why? Is the main question asked. I can assure you the under age drinking age percentage would drop if the age is lowered.
Few reasons for teens drinking are: peer pressure, enjoyment, etc. But the main reason for doing so is “breaking the law.” 87% of high school seniors have used alcohol. That means that a large quantity of teens under the age of seventeen to eighteen have used alcohol before. We all know why teens drink, I mean is common since. Just the feel that they get of breaking the law is huge. Being rebel and not following the rules is an important role of a teen’s life. Consequences are the one that change them, but we don’t want them to experience the consequences of being under the influence of alcohol because we know them and they are fatal. Dying in a car accident and killing others is a mess that we don’t want to clean.

Despite the fact that is illegal for young teens to purchase it, they are able to get it through their parent’s own liquor cabinets, unscrupulous store clerks, or older friends who purchase it for them. As we all see, is not hard for teens to obtain alcohol. Why not lower the drinking age then? I mean any way you put it, they are getting it.

Mumbai Beckons

I was not born in Mumbai, I was not brought up in Mumbai yet it is the one place when talked about brings a smile to my face.  It has been given many names, the city of dreams, the city of opportunities, home to the largest slums of Asia i.e. Dharavi, the Gateway of India etc. But to me it is a home away from home. It is my comfort zone. Even if I have to jostle for space whilst travelling in the local train to the BEST buses, there are no complaints sitting on the parapet of Marine Drive just gazing aimlessly at the Arabian Sea lifts my spirits. Eating Bhel puri or Bhutta and admiring the Queen’s Necklace that starts from Marine Drive, crossing Chowpatty right upto the high rise buildings of Malabar Hills is the sight to see. There is no end to the sights of Mumbai and how can one miss out on the latest additions i.e. the Sea-Link from Bandra to Worli that cuts short the travel distance considerably. Mumbai again is the home to innumerable actors and actresses who strike gold here and become famous known faces.  So guys who want to become rich and a famous or the next Sharukh Khan can go and declare to the Arabian Sea “I will be the King of this City”. Mumbai is waiting and will welcome you with open arms.
