🚘 Cars Built Just One—And It Changed Everything: The 10 Most Game-Changing Rare Cars Ever

🚘Cars Built Just One And It Changed Everything: The 10 Most Game-Changing Rare Cars Ever

Today, by saying rare cars, everyone is being exposed to dreams of either supercars or luxury cars which are manufactured in small numbers. But how can you possibly talk about those cars which were built just once - that is only one car on the planet but they have changed the future of the car industry forever?

Today we are going to dive into a universe where one of the 10 unique-of-a-kind cars was not put in museums or the hanger collections of someone; they changed the design, technology and even driving style. And need not even be afraid, I will be right to the point. No jargon heavy jargon here. It is just good ol car stuff you will like. 🙂

1. Mercedes-Benz F 015 Luxury in Motion (2015) 🤖

You drive and you contend with how it feels to be parked in a vehicle that is driven by itself as you are in a sitting room. The F 015 was the dreamy project of driverless future of Mercedes. It looked like a mini ship car with swivel seats facing one another to engage in a face-to-face communication process.

🧠 What caused it to transform everything: It made the world think of the pertinence of self-driving cars and how vehicles could be digitalized and turned into smart habitation.

2. Buick Y-Job (1938) 🦸‍♂️

This may also be the earliest in this list but the Buick Y-Job was far ahead of its time. The features of this car when it was made by Harley Earl brought about the use of smooth lines and a concealed headlamp and the concept of a dream car.

💡Why it was all the difference: It has been the first concept car. All car companies these days develop concept cars to test what could be in the future. This was the OG.

3. Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina (2006) 🔥

This Ferrari is a one-off requested by the film director James Glickenhaus and he started with the Enzo, but with a redesign to look more like the race cars that Ferrari produced in the 60s.

🎨 Why it revolutionized: It made every single person remember that custom cars don't need to be gaudy, vulgar or very anonymous, custom build cars can indeed be beautiful, elegant and highly personal--and tell more wealthy clients to finance their dream vehicles.

4. Chrysler Turbine Car (1963 ) 🌪️

Have you ever imagined a car that can operate on jet engine technology? Chrysler did. Fifty five turbine cars were constructed although only one is in original form. It would go on anything--on perfume even!

⛽The reason it made a difference: It demonstrated that not all energy is oil-based when the electric vehicle was still a fad.

5. General Motors Firebird I (1953) 🚀

No, this is not joke. The Firebird I resembled a 4 wheeled jet. It was a complete experiment and was constructed with gas turbine engine and bubble cockpit.

🛠️Why it changed everything: It was never to be a production car but it made automakers think crazy and big. It contributed to the concept of futurism design + technology brought into a single car.

6. Jaguar XJ13 (1966) 🐆

Jaguar created this beauty to race in Le Mans but never got to be raced. Nevertheless, it is one of the most beautiful and potent Jags that were ever created. There is only one.

🏁 The reason it made everything different: The design of its engine V12 inspired future Jagauar road and racing cars. and it is still applied in the form of a trademark of the British automotive excellence.

7. Rolls-Royce Sweptail (2017) 👑

The Sweptail was nearly 100 crores and probably the most expensive car released in recent times. It was created to pay tribute to a wealthier client who wished to possess a new automobile with the ambiance of vintage ships.

💰Why it made all the difference: It showed that the auto brands were capable of delivering zero-bespoke experiences, the total customizing of vehicles to the ultra-wealthy.

8. BMW GINA Light Visionary Model (2008) 🧵

The GINA was non metallic. Yes, cloth: yes, paper. And it could manifest in another way. The body of the car moved to reveal headlights, or change the shape of the skin.

🧪Why It was a gamechanger: It did that because it challenged what a car body can be in the first place. Flexible design? Why not!

9. Peugeot Oxia (1988) 🚗⚡

It was built in order to showcase the capabilities of the Peugeot engineering talent and it could produce a speed of 350km/h. It had a touch of the sci-fi film where there was the advanced aerodynamic and the computer system.

🚦Why it was of the game changer: It did not go into production but some of its design features found their way into later road cars by Peugeot.

10. Cadillac Sixteen (2003) 🐘

Cadillac sixteen is a blow up, uber-luxury sedan with a 16 cylinder engine, where GM was attempting to convey the fact that even the American luxury had some voice left. It had 1000 horse power and maniac on-road power.

🚨How it was a game changer: The car made it clear to the people that American automakers were not out of touch with the concept of dreaming big and that it led the path to the current design language of Cadillac.

🚗 Final Thoughts

And this one-off car was not just made to rattle off. Several of them became trendsetters, pioneers of technologies or altered our way of thinking about automobiles altogether. Essentially as visionary as their fabric skins and driverless interiors that existed as such watersheds of the industry.

And, by the way, I still recall that I saw Cadillac Sixteen in a magazine in school. I could not believe that such powerful and wonderful thing existed. That is what is magic about these one off legends, they remain in your memory forever. 💭✨

Is AI Killing IT Jobs Faster Than We Think?

Is AI Killing IT Jobs Faster Than We Think?

A couple of years ago, Artificial Intelligence (AI) seemed to have been adapted straight out of a sci-fi film. Nowadays, it is all around us, on our phones, or in our work places, and even at home. AI is transforming the way people live and work and this can be seen in the way we write emails and help doctors diagnose.

And here is the question that everybody is saying:

"Will AI kill IT jobs too fast?"

All right, then, what about it? I have to say that I am seeing the light on both sides of the issue when operating in the IT business with friends. Others are enthusiastic. People are concerned about others. We will take it a bit at a time as we are having a normal conversation over some tea.

What Exactly Is AI Doing in the IT Industry?

AI can be as the new office intern-but can work 24 hours every single day, without taking a break and can learn in a short period. It can:

• Write standards code (yes, even more standards than some juniors)
• The test software rapidly
• Excavate large volumes of data in few seconds
• Automate the customer support Bring back the television commercials to Direct Marketing tools.
• Survey security of monitor systems

Just think what it will be like when one tool can do all this. There is no wonder that one is twice thinking whether companies need so many people or not.

The Quiet Disappearance of Roles

An example is my friend Karthik who was in manual testing about 6 years. One day, he heard that now his job could be done with less error by a new automation tool. Around two months, his team got halved.

Karthik is not the only one. Throughout India, most of the mid-level employees in such jobs as:

• Test de interface Manual QA Testing
• Rudimentary front-end
• Tech support
• Data entry

...are experiencing a shrinking opportunity.

All these roles are gradually becoming phased out. And what makes it worse is that... It is not always clear until it occurs.

Is AI the Villain Here?

Not exactly.

AI is not out to take away jobs. It is fulfilling its purpose, to speed things up and to streamline. The actual problem lies in the fact that the IT industry did not help us cope with this dynamics.

We were told most of us:

"Study Java, become a service firm, get established."

The rules are different now. Learning is no longer a one off activity. The changing world of IT is that fast and you have to keep on learning just not to be ahead of yourself.

Where are the Jobs that are Safe?

The good news is that not all jobs will be taken over by AI. It is just putting up an automation of most of the time consuming work. When your job is based on creativity, strategy or emotional intelligence, you are not disposable either.

Safe (at least at the moment) jobs:

1. UX/UI Designers
2. Business Analysts
3. Cybersecurity Experts
4. Product Managers
5. Machine Learning/AI Devs
6. Cloud Architects
7. Ethical Hackers

And even authors (and writers, and me!) are starting to learn how to collaborate with AI rather than being afraid of it.

So, What Should You Do?

What I say to my cousins who are studying or working in IT is as follows:

1. Upskill Constantly

Do not cease learning. They can be assisted with such educational platforms as Coursera, Udemy, or even YouTube. Hot skills to pay attention to include:

• AI/ML basics
• AWS cloud servers, Azure, GCP cloud servers
• Data Science
• DevOps
• Cybersecurity

2. After creating a portfolio, the next steps are:

The organizations are no longer interested in your age of experience but what they can achieve through you. Tell us what you are working on, GitHub, blogs or personal projects.

3. Not Just Code, Networked

Talk to your people. Go to meet ups, webinars, LinkedIn groups. The knowledge of a right person can turn more doors in comparison to your resume sometimes.

4. To Your Advantage Use AI

Don not insist to fight AI, instead learn how to cooperate with it. Such tools as GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT can even make you more productive.

It Is Not AI That Is the Problem - It Is Lack of Preparation

The reality is that AI is not going to steal your job. However, a person who understands the functioning of AI is likely to do so.

That is what is really happening. It is not a human versus machine deal. It is about adaptation. The IT industry is evolving, that is true. Nevertheless, the opportunities are not over yet, you just have to be willing to change.

Before You Go…

When the above article gives you something to ponder, do share the same with your friends, or colleagues, or that cousin who is yet to find a job. Someone had to read and probably someone needed to hear this.

And, should you be seeking more friendly, honest versions of what is actually going down in the tech world, you can subscribe to our blog. We dumb down complicated things so it is in simple conversations like this one.

Who knows, let us continue learning, changing, and developing one another. The next big thing in IT is not the robot. It is human beings who learn to work smart.

If You Haven’t Watched These South Indian Films, You’re Not a Real Cinephile

If You Haven’t Watched These South Indian Films, You’re Not a Real Cinephile

Bollywood had been dominating the maps of the Indian cinema for decades. Now, to be frank, when you call yourself a fan of films and you are still only viewing Hindi movies, you are leaving another entire world of movies behind. South Indian movies are no longer in dark. It has taken the stage with courage and many would go further and say it has even outclassed even the big B the Bollywood on the facet of telling stories, technical prowess and uninhibited emotional integers.

Well today I am laying down the challenge. In case you genuinely consider yourself a cinephile, a real cinema lover, then you simply cannot skip the following must-see Indian South movies. And no, it has nothing to do with massy action or superstar fanfare (we just like that stuff, as well). It is about movies that make you shake, inspired and dumb-struck.

🎬 1. Kumbalangi Nights (Malayalam, 2019)

Director: Madhu C. Narayanan
Available on: Amazon Prime Video

Kumbalangi Nights is probably the film that has destroyed toxic masculinity in a silent and non-vocal way. It is a story about four imperfect brothers seeking meaning, love and peace in a small fishing village in Kerala.

I recall sitting down and watching it one night with no anticipations and; in the end, I was weeping. It is a memorable experience through the emotional exploitation, amazing cinematography, and moving music.

Cinephile Test: Do you have a fondness of fly-on-the-wall tales that punch you in the gut? Watch this.

🔥 2. Super Deluxe (Tamil, 2019)

Director: Thiagarajan Kumararaja
Available on: Netflix

Note- Super Deluxe is no masala movie. It happens to be dramatic, weird and politically incorrect. It is the interdependence of telling the stories of the porn star who returns to her mother, the story of transgender parent who seeks to regain the dignity, everyone, everything, in this movie has got a nook.

You will be surprised with the acting of Vijay Sethupathi. Personally, as a real cinephile, when watching this film, you simply cannot stop and reflect on what occurred.

Cinephile Test: Do you enjoy being put on a brain bending plot? That is the paper on which you are to take the examination.

💥 3. Eega (Telugu, 2012)

Director: S.S. Rajamouli
Available on: Jio Hotstar

Dark vengeance movie, rein-incarnation and... a housefly? Sounds crazy huh? But Eega offers the documentation that, even a wackiest of the plots can work when presented full of confidence. A guy kills a man and then re-incarnates into a fly in order to even the score with the bad guy. After that, there is genius in entertainment.

It is not a matter of giggling at it. It is a movie that shows the wild fantasies of Rajamouli long before he became a common noun on the planet with Baahubali.

Cinephile Test: Do you have a liking to be ridiculous when it is done extremely well? It is another thing you can put in your list.

🧘‍♂️ 4. The Great Indian Kitchen (Malayalam, 2021)

Director: Jeo Baby
Available on: Amazon Prime Video

Take a warning: This is a film, which you will not enjoy. There it is, and that is the point. It is an intellectual thriller that smolders on the subject of oppression of silence, which is not dramatic, yet continuous oppression of women in the supposed moral Indian families.

I have even recommended it to one of my friends and he informed me that bro it has changed my attitude towards my mother. That is the cinema drama.

Cinephile Test: Do you have the interest to watch a movie which does not have the background music or the tempo and which does not feature any masala? Look at it and take a lesson.

🔪 5. Vikram Vedha (Tamil, 2017)

Director: PushkarGayathri
Available on: Jio Hotstar

Forget hindi remake. The original Vikram Vedha was an economical and claustrophobic thriller with tinges of noir sensibilities, shades of dark morality, assassin turns and precision cutting dialogue. It is more of a loose adaption of the Vikram-Betaal story and you find yourself in a frenzy of which is the good and which is the bad.

The movie screen is brightened by the battle of the cat and mouse between Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi.

Cinephile Test: Do you like the thrillers that criticize your sense of justice? This is necessary.

🐘 6. Kantara (Kannada, 2022)

Director: Rishab Shetty
Available on: Amazon prime video

Kantara is not a film, it is the tradition, spirituality and the folk story of a tribe. The last 20 minutes are pure magic of the moving screen. The first time I saw it was at a packed movie theater and the room was charged. Every one cheered at last. It is not a very common occurrence.

Cinephile Test: Can you identify yourself with primitive cultural roots devoid of urban elegance setting? Immerse yourself into this.

🧠 7. U Turn (2016, Kannada)

Director: Pawan Kumar
Available on: Netflix

Before the film was remade in other languages, U Turn is a Kannada sleeper hit film. It is the supernatural thriller with certain social message. Not-so-great, but inspirational in creativity and thriller.

Cinephile Test: Are you a fan of thrillers that can be driven by a well-written material and not by VFX and fisticuffs? Prove it.

🏺 8. Aayirathil Oruvan (Tamil, 2010)

Director: Selvaraghavan
Available on: Amazon Prime Video

Aayirathil Oruvan is not a movie but a full blown mythological fever dream. It begins as an adventure thriller which gradually mutates into a head-turning historical fantasy with Chola dynasty background. It is disorganized, multi-layered and far above its years. And that is true the fact is that it was actually so misjudged when it came out that it was only years in retrospect that people were referring to it as a cult classic.

I recall watching it in college and saying, what did I just watch?--in the very best possible way. It does not excel, but it is not afraid.

Cinephile Test: Are you able to take a mentally and emotionally challenging film? This is one that you should listen to.

 

💔9. 7G Rainbow Colony (Tamil, 2004)

Director: Selvaraghavan

Available on: Jio Hotstar

There was 7G Rainbow Colony before the world was lamenting over the harsh love novels of Sandeep Reddy Vanga. An explicit yet candid depiction of youthful love, resurgence, heartbreak, this film is a ticking trigger to anyone who has ever fallen in love with someone who is way out of their league.

It is not the lovely love story you are well accustomed to watching but raw, harsh and deeply real. There are those, including me, who cannot listen to the BGM without shedding any tears.

Cinephile Test: Are you comfortable with stories what are not comfortable but true? Watch this, and make an effort not to be gutted.

🎸 10. Vaaranam Aayiram (Tamil, 2008)

Director: Gautham Vasudev Menon

Available on: Netflix

It is more than a film. It is a letter. A love letter to fathers, to first love, or youth and an emotion roller coaster of life. The movie Vaaranam Aayiram is the story of a young man, and it has nostalgia, romance, pain, and redemption become one as he experiences the death of his father.

This is one of the finest roles of Suriya as he doubles up in the role of the father and the son. Believe me, this one is going to break you in case you lost someone whom you loved.

Cinephile Test: Will you be able to weep, ponder, and reach your parents after watching a movie? Start here.

🎞️Final thoughts

The thing is that I am not saying that Bollywood does not have gems. However, when you are really serious about cinema, then your watchlist should go beyond Vindhyas. These movies are not anymore merely regional. They are Indian stories in their simplest, their boldest forms.

Check these movies the next time you update your Letterboxd, IMDb, or other application you can use. And what will happen that they are not - then... then perhaps you are not yet a true cinephile, you are just a fan of films. 😉

🎴 Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle – All Style, Less Soul? My Honest Review from Japan

🎴 Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle – All Style, Less Soul? My Honest Review from Japan

In Japan, like a festival, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle was released on the big screen. Fans lined up the theatres in cosplay with some even sobbing during the credits. I managed to get into it the first night here in Tokyo; and believe me, it was an experience. However that would have been perfect, right? Not exactly.

Let us put our feet up and unbox this as we would with a chai chatter. This review is in case you would like to know whether to see this movie or would like to know whether it is as insane as all the hype is about it.

🎥 Visuals That Could Blind You (In a Good Way)

It is time to be honest, Ufotable produces art, not anime. Not only is the visual fury spectacular once the Infinity Castle begins folding in on itself until the climactic shoot-out, but the battle levels are spectacular, as well. The colours are deep, the light is looking almost 3D, and the camera angles? In all seriousness, there are some of those shots where one ought to frame and hang them onto a wall of a gallery.

In the last fight, when a guy behind me actually whispered, I heard, to myself, “This is better than Marvel.” And to tell the truth he was not mistaken. The visuals seem universal, and not only an anime.

However the thing is that when every scene seems to be a climax, the real one bangs less. The graphics, even though being mind-blowing at times, at times overpower the emotion. Like when you eat biryani and get five kinds of raita, you are also satiated but do not feel good about it.

🕹️ Is It a Movie or a High-End Cutscene?

And this may be a hot take, but some of the fights (particularly, the ones with Muzan) began to feel like boss battles in any PlayStation game. You see the crazy blow everything up and stuff, and glow, and the bad guy screams constantly?

Yes, action is of first-rate. Yes the scale is epic. Other times, it became a commercial, a preview, to some video game, instead of intense, emotional confrontation between characters we have watched years to develop that we know so well.

As some fans in Japanese forums such as 5ch and even reddit internationally said, it summed it up:

"They brought life to the suffering out of the picture."

It is difficult to disagree. There is one of the most tragic deaths, I can not spoil it, but it was half rushed so that I did not even teared up. And that is even this person who wept when Rengoku perished.

📖 Storytelling: Rushed Like a Monday Morning Train

Among my greatest pet peeves? Pacing. The manga allowed emotional moments to relax. Almost everything is in fast-forward even in the movie. Set pieces of explosions are sandwiched between important character arcs. Like the notification you do not remember to click on the moments which were supposed to be the ones that make your chest ache pass by.

You should still recall how moving Akaza backstory was during the Mugen Train arc. Well, Infinity Castle had numerous opportunities to make the same impact but opted to sacrifice depth in order to achieve speed.

Being a fan who read ther manga and watched all the episodes religiously, there was something lacking. The soul. The quiet. The weight.

😈 Muzan: The Ultimate Villain or Just Loud?

Now we can speak about the demon king himself - about Muzan Kibutsuji. His entrance? Chilling. His powers? Terrifying. However, when the fight continued, I began wondering, is he vocal or is he actually three-dimensional?

Having emotional baggage to some extent were characters such as Doma and Akaza, but Muzan was usually one-note: angry, too powerful, and quite simply, quite shouty. I would have liked more philosophizing behind his actions at times- but the film came down to style, not substance.

Concisely, Muzan was spooky, right? But unforgettable? Not really.

📣 Japanese Audience Reactions: A Mixed Bag

The people applauded after my screening- yes, even in Japan the people tend not to clap. However, things were split a bit more outside the theatre.

There were hinting about going out to say things like:

"This is the greatest anime film I ever watched!"

Meanwhile the others said nothing, except, in low voices:

"It is beautiful but the emotional simplicity of Season 1."

Twitter Japan was fed with mixed hashtags, some of them were is it implying everybody who watched this anime(masterpiece) and the rest of the people were arguing whether the soul of Demon slayer was already covered by cinematic desire.

Even YouTube anime reviewers began to call it: Demon Slayer: The Visual Album.

❤️ My Honest Verdict

Score: 3.8 Out of 5 points

• You need to watch it? 100 percent yes.
• Will you love each part? Maybe not.
• Is it worth a buzz? It depends as to what you love- heart or hype.

In case you are the kind of person who loves jaw-dropping visuals, this film will blow your mind away. However, you who are on it to get emotionally touched by a story might feel to be a tad bit cold as you walk out.

📝 Final Thoughts

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is a motion picture monster. It will go down in history due to animation and action. It is like a firework display, exciting at the time you are looking at it but then you are looking for the emotional beef and you feel soon disappointed.

In my book, it is a must-see (not a must-re-see). I enjoyed it, I adored it and I did not read it because I experienced it as I expected to.

Modi’s 2024 Economic Wins: Real Growth or Election Optics?

Modi’s 2024 Economic Wins: Real Growth or Election Optics?

Headlines praising economic performance with the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi positively swept India in the year 2024. Booming stock markets, rocketing exports and the highest tax collection ever, it seemed India Shining 2.0 was here to stay. But is this growth a real indication of basic progress, or is that mere election packaging?

Shall we keep it simple like you and I sit down and have a cup of chai and talk about what is actually happening.

Growth in GDP: fact or fake?

The GDP growth rate in India stands at about 7.6 percent, which is among the highest in major economies due to FY2023-24. Doesn t sound impressive? Wait a minute. Other economists believe that this spike is somewhat due to low base under COVID-19. Otherwise put, you have to fall hard before the recovery so it seems big.

There is also non uniform growth. The actual beneficiaries are the urban localities and large corporations whereas the rural India continues to face the problem of unemployment and inflation. It is as though you celebrate a house renovation and all what happened is repainting the living room.

Stock Market Zirks: are they a Mirror to the Economy or a Mere Mania by Investors?

In 2024, Sensex and Nifty were at all-time highs. Good news to investors no doubt. But does the stock market depict what a Bihari farmer or a garment factory worker feels? Not always.

The stock markets respond to corporate earnings, investor participation as well as in some cases; to world trends. There is little doubt that Modi government has succeeded in improving investor confidence through its stable incentives and Make in India programs, but the citizen of Pakistan is not exactly massaging these rises.

The Numbers of Job Creation

People just can never stop talking about jobs especially during dinner time in every Indian family. Government says it has created lakhs of jobs in schemes such as PM Gati Shakti, Skill India and others.

However, things are muddled on the ground. Whilst official job rates have increased, so is underemployment and abuse-related to the gig economy. Yes, many youths are working but are they making enough income to enable them to create a secure life? The question is how real.

Infrastructure Boost: Obvious Growth

This is where the advantage is due to the government. Infrastructure boom is in the open eye of all new expressways, metro lines, railway upwaging, and smart city projects. You can also find a facelift in even small towns.

The most important aspect about all this is that the projects lead to short-term jobs as well as better logistics and this in the long-term can work on the direction of increasing the economy. Some are done in a hurry critics argue, more in the spirit of headlines rather than an all round development before elections take place.

Tax Collection and UPI Boom: The Digital India is Moving

There was a record of GST collected in India in the year 2024 with improved performance of the formal sector. The mind boggling UPI payments became the reality with digital payments becoming the new normal even in the kirana shops.

It is a pleasant sensation to state that we are turning into a less-cash society. But there is a down side also. Small businesses complain of the complicated tax laws, and cash-based workers tend to fall behind in this digital rush.

The case of Welfare Schemes: Do they act as Relief or Vote Banks?

Crores of families have benefited because of free ration under PM Garib Kalyan Yojana, direct benefit transfer (DBT) as well as PM Kisan pay-outs. However, it is all about timing. There are questions when such benefits are released or offered near elections.

Are the two welfare initiatives real assistance or mere political gimmickry? Maybe both. Voters are after all, not forgetting about who gave what.

Worldwide Awareness vs On-ground Reality

The international agencies have referred to India as the bright spot in the world economy. Foreign investments have indeed gone up. Yet in reality it is not always so. You can ask a small business owner coping with escalating costs or a student who does not know whether the career journey is just or not.

Among the greatest problems that all Indian families discuss during their dinners are jobs. The government states that programmes namely PM Gati Shakti, Skill India and others created lakhs of jobs.

However, it is not like that on the ground. Formal employment has increased, but the number of people who are underemployed and exploited in the gig economy is also on the increase. The number of youths going out to work is high, yes, but are they earning enough to create a secure life? Well, that is the question.

Infrastructure Push: On Full Display

This is where the government should be credited. Everyone can see the infrastructure boom new expressways, Metro lines, railways, and upgrades, smart cities. In even the smaller towns you can look at a facelift occurring.

The most important aspect of projects in this respect is that, they provide short term employment and are beneficial in enhancing logistic, hence can beneficially contribute to the economy in the long term. However the critics believe that some of them are hastened before elections in order to appear in the headlines rather than balanced development.

Digital India on the Move Tax Collection & UPI Boom

India received a record amount of GST in 2024 and its formal sector was performing better. UPI payments had surpassed mind-boggling amounts to the extent that electronic payments have become the order of the day even in kirana stores.

It is nice to assert that we are shifting towards a less-cash economy. However, it has an up side as well. Most small businesses are overwhelmed by complicated taxation regulations, and workers that rely on cash transactions are most of the time left at the receiving end of this digital push.

Welfare programmes: Sources of Relief or Electoral Banks?

Millions of families have benefited due to free ration during PM Garib Kalyan Yojana, direct benefit transfers (DBT) and PM Kisan payouts. Yet that depends on the timing. Questions are raised in combination with other such benefits when announced or extended near to elections.

Are these acts of welfare true gestures or politically smart ones? Maybe both. Voters do not forget who gave them what after all.

Having graduated cts.

Non-driplay growth resembles watching the movie when it seems that there is no success except the protagonist, and the minor characters are left behind.

Well What do you Say?

In the real sense, if you are asking me, it is a blend. There are some good economic decisions that have been taken by the government of Modi. However it would be unjust to overlook the timing of such victories especially in the eve of an election.

Authentic growth is time-consuming, regular and inclusive. Superficial things like packaging are important, however, overriding that is the content of the box.

Final Thoughts (Over Another Cup of Chai)

And whether you are a fan or not of Modi, you should not look at sound bites, you should look underneath to see how things are going. India is so capable and the growth must be palpable at all the levels and not just in newspapers or even on television discussions.

Was Krishna Real? What Science Says About the Mahabharata War’s Timeline🧠📜

Was Krishna Real? What Science Says About the Mahabharata War’s Timeline🧠📜

Have you ever thought that Lord Krishna existed or he was a figment of imagination? You are not the only one. The Mahabharata is one of the oldest and longest Epics in history as fascinated by millions of people all around the world. However, today, we are going to discuss something fearful most people cannot resist to gossip about and it goes as follows: what does the science claim about the war of Mahabharata and the existence of Krishna?

The Epic Which Define the Indian Culture📚

So now that we are going to dive into science we might want to mention briefly what the Mahabharata is. Not that it is just a story, but it is also a cultural gem. It has more than 100,000 verses that deal with family politics to divine intervention. And at the center of it is Krishna- a warrior, a philosopher and a friend of the Pandavas.

I am used to listening to my grandmother tell me some stories about the Mahabaharata when I was a child. She did not talk of Krishna as a god but a brainy, humorous and a mighty mentor. At that time I would even ask myself: could he have possibly lived?

Archaeological and Scientific interest🔍🏺

The historic truth of Mahabharata has become an issue of serious interest in the past few decades inclusive of researchers, historians and archaeologists working on the same. Whereas ancient writings used to look to us like mere mythology before, now we have seen some change of perspective- scientists are trying to understand whether these myths hold any truth to them or not.

Did the Mahabharata war really take place is one of the major questions they pose.

Dwarka: A Forgotten City🌊🏙️

Among the most thrilling evidences is the underroad explorations off Dwarka, which is a Gujarati city. It is held that this was where Krishna resided (Mahabharata). Through the ages people believed it to be only fable. However, back in the early 2000s, marine archeologists found what appeared to be ruins lying under the sea.

Thousands of years old structures, walls, and artifacts were discovered. The calculations are that these ruins were originally between 1500 BCE and perhaps earlier. Is it possible that this is the same Dwarka which legend said had submerged when Krishna died off? Although this is not entirely clarified, a number of scientists think that more research should be done on the site.

The war of Mahabharata dating📅✨

And this is where it is even more interesting. Astrological information such as eclipses, the positions of the planets, the seasons, and even of individual stars is itself offered in the Mahabharata itself. This information led to carrying out simulations with advanced astronomy computer programs performed by researchers.

Both Indian researcher Dr. Ramesh Panchwagh and a US-based physicist Dr. Narhari Achar came to a conclusion that a massive war of the description of the Mahabharata could have happened circa 3100 BCE. This is very much in line with the more traditional Hindu calendars which also date just after 3102 BCE when Krishna left as initiating the Kali Yuga.

Wouldn’t that be mind blowing? The first time I read this, I gave goosebumps. Science was literally the lingo of our ancient books.

Was Krishna a myth?🤔🕉️

The skeptics say that because some events could be facts these do not imply that all characters were factual. That’s fair. But there is something to consider: ancient heroes turn out to be legends in the course of time and their stories get exaggerated. Does it imply that they have never existed? Not necessarily.

Some of the ancient texts available such as the Harivamsa and Vishnu Purana provide considerable genealogies, family histories and even geographical contacts in the life of Krishna. There is no way that a person never existed and someone can make up so many detailed places and situations.

A Bridge Between Faith and Facts🔬🙏

However, we may not find full proofs of the modern scientific concept, yet the circumstantial evidence does lead to a cul-de-sac- there seems to have been a basis to the truth of the Mahabharata and Krishna may easily have been a historical person whose life is at the basis of the modern myths and epics written about him.

We as Indians are in a footing between two worlds tradition and science. That is okay. Our culture is beautiful because it leaves space to logic as well as faith.

Final Thoughts💭🌟

Was so Krishna Real? Science has not said yes emphatically, but is gradually tilting towards that possibility than ever. However, you perceive him as a god, a figure in history or clever thinker; one thing is obvious, Krishna will never lose his power.
