Gambling conundrum in India!

-
Should gambling be legalised in India?

Yes: 
Gambling is ubiquitous in India. May it be online or offline gambling, it has been rampant over the years and almost reached to an unstoppable state. The laws pertaining to gambling are vested with states and thus vary from state to state. Despite gambling being illegal in most parts of India, there are many online and offline services offering gambling that the common man could easily lay his hand into. Government tried to curb these services, but largely failed. Since, it is now clear that cessation of this menace is almost next to impossible, it is better if we atleast regulate it. As the Law Commission of India rightly proposed to legalise gambling with a few guidelines and limitations, like the gambler must and should attest or upload his pan card copy and the restrictions on number of gamblings he can do in a week. It also proposed to introduce a regulatory body to overlook on the modus operandi of these gambling centrers.The biggest upshot of this would be the increase of legitimate taxes that can be amassed and used in the interest of public, thus a gain-gain situation.


No:
While the notion of legalising gambling is being looked at as of  “to gain something from nothing”, I strongly condemn this. This is a high stakes issue and the government should not act hastily as it could have devastating effects on the people. Legalising gambling will only attract more eyes than now. Espescially the bourgeois and the poor may construe and mislead themselves to fancy their luck in these, which many times backfires and makes them bereft of money.
So instead of scrambling for solution, one needs to ponder on what is the best effective way to avert this predicament.

Cosmic energy!

-
        What is cosmic energy? Many of you might have a vague and one-aspect notion of it, but after reading this article you might be changing the way you look at this.  Have you ever wondered why is meditation good for mind and health? Have you ever thought why there is much emphasis on yoga? It is all because of cosmic energy. Cosmic energy in hindu terms can be referred to as “shakti”. It is the unfettered flow of energy in the form of cosmos throughout the universe. It is the force and energy that maintains the balance of every organism. You cannot destroy or conjure the cosmic energy but can only allow chanellise it through your body. One who channellise it reaps benefits and gets rejuvenated and reinvigorated.  Now you might have started to get confused thinking what is this new energy and how will it control our lives. But what if I say that you wittingly or unwittingly harness the power of cosmic energy from time to time in small portions....

IT sector on the move!

-
      IT sector in India is rejuvenating. Many companies like Tata Consultancy service(TCS) and infosys has registered a growth rate of 15% and 12% respectively. But it will be wrong to assume that the jobs which had taken a dip in the last 2 years, will  increase proportionately. Rewind five years and you can see a boomimg IT industry at its heyday, where the companies had witnessed huge growth rates and profits. It also helped to alleviate the perennial unemployment problem that exists in India. An average of 2.4 lakh jobs were offered every year in this sector from Finacial Year (FY) 2011-15. But this numbers took a dip in the FY 2016 with only 1.7 lakh job hirings. It further dwindled to 1 lakh in the year 2017 exacerbating the situation further. This sudden plunge over the years is because of its failure to adapt to the rapidly evolving technology. Many people predicted the situation to grow further worse, but the present scenario proves it wrong. One shoul...

Elections-2k19

-
Countdown begins! There is less than one year  before we head into , what could be a tumultous  elections. Each and every party is gearing up for the elections and devising ideas, modalities, speeches and plans to outdo the other parties. This  is going to be a litmus test for both Congress and NDA. Its been a while, the former party suffered a debacle and are raring to go and redeem their pride. As for the latter, which is heavily reliant on the aura of Narendra Modi, this should be the perfect platform for them to show their supremacy and zip the lips of  the opposition party leaders. Lately Regional parties have become a huge factor in deciding the power at the centre, as we can see the power drama that transpired in the karnataka. So it is important to form the alliances and have their backs. In the run up to the elections we will find both the parties intensely slandering each other, trying to tarnish the images of one another, but the  Narendra Modi led B...
