Social Media platforms and their Online Verdicts

The India Saga Saga |

Social media platforms nowadays are changing into courts as people don’t even take a second to prove someone guilty. Platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter are used to post incidents by people and then the trial starts.  Just based on the posts without knowing the whole scenario and backgrounder of the story, citizens already make them the culprit.

Let’s understand them with examples, back in the year 2015, Jasleen Kaur, 23 posted the picture of Sarvjeet Singh Bedi, 28 on Facebook accusing him of threatening her and passing obscene comments. She stated that he molested her at the traffic signal in Tilak Nagar on 23rd August. She stated that even after giving him a warning that she will expose him for what he has done, he still posed for the picture proudly and without any fear. And as soon as she posted this, People as well as media tagged him as a “Delhi Pervert” and were pissed because of the situation. The Delhi university girl got Rs 5000 as an award from Delhi Police for being so brave and raising her voice against the incident. Everyone praised her for the step she took against the harassment. Also, she was congratulated by the Chief Minister of Delhi. She got support from everyone wholeheartedly. Court trials were already taking place but Social media was being brutal to him. The man lost his job, his pride everything. Later, Vishwajeet Singh, one of the eyewitnesses pitched for Sarvjeet’s innocence and assured that nothing like of this sort happened. The tables turned and all the support went to Mr. Bedi and the ball finally came in his court, his innocence was proved. On 25th October 2019, the Tees Hazari Court finally acquitted Sarvjeet of all the charges filed against him as nothing strong was discovered against Sarvjeet.

Another case is the “Bois Locker Room”; it came into reflection when a girl shared a series of screenshots of group chats from a group named Bois Locker Room. The screenshots were having a conversation in the context of sexual harassment, and about gang-raping girls. After this came out everyone on social media started hindering the image of not only the boys in the group but also every man. The world was already in lockdown so it was the only work left with people, which was to give verdicts. The cyber cell police started investigating the case and later on discovered the fact that the chat was not even between boys, the chat took place on Snapchat and the sender was a girl and the receiver was a boy. Both were juvenile and the girl just wanted to be sure about the character of the boy.

Both cases force us to think more about our nature of judging people in real life and on Social media platforms, our habit of passing on verdicts and proving someone a culprit without even getting through the facts. So, before typing anything on such platforms wait and think.

In-Ear, Over-Ear, and On-Ear Headphones: Which one is the best for you?

The India Saga Saga |

Speak of headphones and you are speaking as much of an audio device as a ubiquitous fashion accessory. 

When it comes to making the choice of headphones, the decision really has to begin with a fair understanding of what your exact requirements are and the kind of lifestyle you lead. Some of the questions to ask your self include:

  • Are you an audio enthusiast for whom sound quality is most important?
  • How often do you wear headphones?
  • Where are you most likely to wear them?
  • Is travel or workout a large part of your headphone requirement?

On the basis of your lifestyle, you could choose between in-ear, over-ear and on-ear headphones. Typically the choice of earphone type would boil down to a choice between three priorities, often competing with each other:

  • Sound Quality
  • Comfort 
  • Portability

Let us look at each kind of headphone a little in detail to see how it ranks on these parameters:

Over-Ear Wireless Headphones

Over-ear headphones, also known as “circumaural” headphones, are largely considered to be the most high-quality and are every audiophile’s first choice.

Sound Quality

If you are looking for a great listening experience, there is no doubt that you should go for over-ear wireless headphones. Their large driver ensures that you have better sound quality. 

You will also benefit from the fact that it can reproduce the widest range of frequencies; from those highs to the deep bass. The fact that they enclose your ears completely, also means that they provide noise isolation and add to your listening experience.

Comfort

With an over-ear headphone cupping your ears, comfort is a given. As long you aren’t using a very heavy pair, you simply don’t have to worry about your ears getting sore. 

Portability

This is the only area, that isn’t the strong point of these earphones. They are large and hence don’t lend themselves to portability. They may not be your best bet, therefore, if what you need is to travel light on that trip. 

On-ear headphones

This type of headphone sits directly against your ears and is far smaller and lighter compared to over-ear headphones.

Sound Quality

In terms of sound quality, on-ear headphones do not rank as high as their over-ear counterparts. They also leave a lot to be desired when it comes to noise isolation as they aren’t able to create a seal the way over-ear and in-ear headphones do. 

Comfort

While comfort is a matter of personal preference, for people, who do not prefer the headphones to sit inside the ear canal, they are a happier alternative than the in-ear ones. Even though, some people do feel some kind of soreness that comes from constant contact with their ears.

Portability

Most on-ears are optimized for on-the-go users. Even if their portability quotient isn’t as much as that of in-ear headphones, these earphones are made with travel in mind; some may even fold up! Remember to put them in a hard case and you have a travel companion in place.

In-ear headphones

Also called earphones or earbuds, these headphones have rapidly become a must-have accessory with the rise of MP3 players as also smartphones. 

Sound Quality

When it comes to in-ear headphones, their small drivers are a constraint in producing the kind of high or low that over-ear headphones produce. Having said that, however, the sound quality really depends on whether you pick up cheap, plastic earbuds or high-performance in-ear headphones from companies such as Samsung, JBL and World of Play. The fact that they create a seal inside your ear canal, also mean that they are good for noise isolation.

Comfort

If you have sensitive ears, odds are that anything resting in the ear canal may cause you some discomfort. Finding the right size is all the more essential when you decide to go for in-ear earphones. A half-in ear design also lends itself to all-day comfort wear. For the same reason, silicon ear tips are preferred.

Portability

Due to their small size, in-ear headphones rate the highest when it comes to portability. Slip it into a travel case or simply toss them into your pocket and you are good to go. That there are wireless variants available means that you do not have to worry about those tangling cords. 

Conclusion

Besides analyzing your bespoke needs, do remember to conduct detailed research to understand the features of the specific model of headphones you are considering! Here’s to a great listening experience and to up your style quotient several notches!

Feminism & the misconceptions around it

The India Saga Saga |

Today we are going to talk about a topic that has always been in light and surrounded by controversies it is FEMINISM or NARIVAAD.

According to Google, the definition of feminism is the advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.

The definition is very clear still the term is mostly misunderstood by people, they feel that it is one of the topics which may get you surrounded by controversy which could be true only if you don’t have clarity about it.

We need to understand Feminism doesn’t mean being anti-men but anti-patriarchy. No one needs to be superior or inferior that the other one.

If described in one word it simply means equal opportunities and rights for women in society. Now let’s go back into history and understand how it all started, you will be surprised to know that is all began with men who stood for the rights of the women, and later on it was joined by women.

Savitribai Phule was the first woman to take initiative for the equal rights of women in the society by opening the first school for girls in India in 1848 and this is how the first step was taken towards the field of education by women.

Also, Tarabai Shinde is the first person to write a book named STRI PURUSH TULANA in 1882, which shows the comparison between women and men.

Earlier Feminism was about reforms on issues such as domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, women’s suffrage, sexual harassment & sexual violence, women to take decisions individually in context to family and regarding pregnancy which includes abortion and consumption of contraceptives.

What we need to understand is a woman doesn’t want you to protect them instead they want you to be harmless.

They don’t want free bus rides instead of wanting an equal salary at workplaces.

They don’t want you to keep their views and points on top and to be the final ones instead they want at least to be heard and considered.

Feminism should not be just standing for the rights of women in society but should also be about taking a stand for men and oppressed sections of the society.

It should not be about making the privileged women more privileged instead of working and standing for the underprivileged ones.

Feminism is about Him standing for HER

And SHE standing for HE

After all the chaos, JEE Exam finally began

The India Saga Saga |

Finally, after so many debates, discussions, protests, and opposition, the JEE (Joint Entrance Exam) began on Tuesday 1st September 2020. It will help from 1-6 September. NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Exam) is scheduled for September 13th. The exam took place with all possible precautions.


7.78 lakh candidates downloaded admit cards for JEE Exam, and, over 12.75 lakh candidates downloaded the admit cards till 6 pm for NEET. Before entering the halls the students were provided with sanitizers and their body temperature was checked.

This year has been a roller coaster for the whole world. Coronavirus hit the world and made the world suffer a lot. The pandemic made the students think about the postponement of exams, as according to them the situation is not safe to move out and give the exam. The Supreme Court did not agree with the students and thus rejected the plea.

The NTA claims that all the necessary measures have been taken to make the exams successfully. Also, the candidates have been given the “first choice of center cities.”
Opposition ministers from Punjab (BS Sidhu), West Bengal(Moloy Ghatak), Maharashtra( Uday Ravindra Sawant), Rajasthan (Raghu Sharma), Jharkhand(Rameshwar Oraon), and Chattisgarh( Amarjeet Bhagat) on Friday approached the Supreme Court by filing a petition supporting the students.
