Well, it is really interesting as well as surprising to see how the internet makes ordinary people overnight stars.

Shoaib Patwary, a certified ethical hacker, has finally got the break of his life as he will soon be directing a short film on cybersecurity in Bollywood.

He has been working on a number of cases which he has solved over the years through ethical hacking. He believes that with the ever-advancing world and technology taking over the traditional ways of living, cybersecurity is of utmost importance to ensure the safety of the country as well as its citizens.

His film will be an eyeopener for those who do not take cybersecurity very seriously and give some important insights on how to approach such cases.

“I am extremely glad to have this opportunity to make a short film on my favourite subject. I have been travelling around the world due to my profession and have solved some very clustered cases over the years. Whatever I have learned through this practice, I will try to convey through my film so that people would be able to understand the importance of cybersecurity,” said Patwary.

“In India, people do not take cybersecurity very seriously as it doesn’t sound like murder or any other grevious crime. But trust me, cybercrimes have caused even bitter deaths around the world and there are plenty of countries who have already started taking this very seriously,” he added.

He has not revealed much about the project but has said that this short film will change people’s perception towards cyber crimes.

“I have seen many cases in my life where people lost their everything just because someone hacked into their accounts andThere were cases in which people got stalked on the internet and were conspired to death. I have put all these ingredients in my short film and I hope this hits the right spots in the hearts of the viewers and they start taking this a little more seriously,” he hoped.

The film is expected to hit floors by January 2020 and may feature some big names of the Hindi film industry. Looking at the confidence of Patwari, it seems like a game changer in the Indian film industry as so far we do not have many movies based on cyber crime.

If the short film does well, the director wants to work with some of the leading actors of the industry. “If my fils goes well enough, I would surely love to work with Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Shah Rukh Khan if ever given a chance. That will be a dream come true moment for me,” he concluded.

Dreams are must and indeed many but the path to reach it is always full of hurdles. One who is clearing out the path to reach his dreams is a very passionate and hardworking champ who has started at a very early age. We know him already the very young Influencer Yash Gupta.

He is the Son of Mr. Rajeev Gupta who is in the business of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and is the owner of Fortune -500 company in India. The one who plays a major role in his life by being a mentor, role model, and the most influencing idol.

Mr. Yash is a student who is pursuing his BBA from Amity University, Noida and along with it, he is helping his father in his business by sharing key inputs and ideas to take the business to greater heights. His business and administration skills are of real help to his father. All this is because of his dedication towards work and the power of being an influencer is motivating him to do the best so that today’s young generation can learn a lot from him.

 He has successfully organized several college fests and events. Also Conducted a workshop at “International Conference on Agriculture & Food Science. He is an active social media butterfly who is already set to influence everyone around him and to help them to take the path to success and achieve their dreams.

Without any doubt, women are the biggest inspiration. It won’t be wrong to say that behind every successful woman is herself. Shivangi Goel has brought a significant change by breaking the stereotypes of pregnancy myths. Pregnancy is that phase when numerous things are going in a woman’s mind. Right from doubts about the physical and emotional ups and downs, she has to deal with a lot. Experiencing and going through this struggle, Shivangi decided to start her own blog after giving birth to her first child. 

A passionate woman that she is, she loves to help people and influence them in the right way. Today the influencer is inspiring many women on the internet with sharing motivational stories. She considers her two boys her biggest source of motivation. While talking about her journey, Shivangi said, “My journey inspires women to raise kids in a happy environment. I am on social media to motivate them and to maintain their individuality as I strongly believe that happy moms raise happy kids. There is a great sense of contentment from within when you bring a change and positive impact in someone’s life and I am doing my bit.”

She hails from Delhi and is a post-graduate. Getting nostalgic about her college days, she said that she was an all-rounder. Right from sports to academics, she was a pro and had a keen interest in extra-curricular activities. Helping people is what she loves to do. However, after her marriage, the social media influencer thought that her dreams had hit a roadblock and she would be nothing but an ordinary homemaker. But her courage helped her achieve her goal and after delivering a child, she made up her mind to become a social media influencer and support women who are going through tough times. Inspiring everyone by her work, we need more people like Shivangi Goel who brings a positive change in the world. Don’t you agree?

The Indian Institute of Technology at Guwahati has developed nanomaterials derived from nature to deliver drugs inside the human body in a controlled and targetted manner. Such biocompatible vehicles could potentially carry chemotherapy drugs directly to the cancer cells, a statement issued by the Institute said.

A research team led by Dr. Biman B. Mandal, Associate Professor, Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, along with Dr. Jadi Praveen Kumar, Dr. Rocktotpal Konwarh, Dr. Manishekhar Kumar and Mr. Ankit Gangrade have studied various types of nanomaterials for use as carriers in targeted drug delivery.

 A nanometre is one-millionth of a millimeter and nanomaterials are made of particles that are 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. In chemotherapy, nanoparticles loaded with drugs can be targeted at tumor cells, bypassing healthy cells, thus avoiding non-specific biodistribution, drug resistance, and unwanted adverse effects. 

According to Dr. Mandal, IIT Guwahati research team has developed a hydrogel system made of silk and carbon nanotubes loaded with drug molecules for controlled release of drugs.  Hydrogels are polymeric networks that absorb huge volumes of water and swell. The high water content makes hydrogels similar to tissues, enhancing biocompatibility, and also allow easy encapsulation and release of drugs at targeted sites. The researchers combined silk with drug-loaded carbon nanotubes, which offered better mechanical strength to the silk hydrogels, in addition to enabling slow and controlled release of the drug at the target site. 

“Our injectable hybrid hydrogel system had pH, temperature, and near-infrared (NIR) light-dependent drug release properties,” added Dr. Mandal. The work, the results of which were published recently in ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering.  The hybrid hydrogel is injectable and designed to serve as a reservoir for anticancer drugs at the local site of the tumour. For technology, the team has applied for a patent. Ankit Gangrade has co-authored this paper with Dr. Mandal.

In an earlier study, Dr. Mandal and his team used bio-derived carbon nanodots as vehicles for drug delivery.  It is attractive to produce such nanodots from biological sources to avoid the use of toxic products, and there have been attempts to produce carbon nanodots from bread, jaggery, banana, and even milk. 

In an Indian twist to these attempts, the research team produced carbon nanodots from lassi, the popular yogurt-based drink.  The researchers heated store-bought lassi in the microwave oven for about six and a half minutes and separated the carbonized portion that contained carbon nanodots. The researchers then loaded the nanodots with a model drug compound called doxorubicin (Dox).  The Dox-loaded carbon nanoparticles released the drug in response to the change in acid content in the surrounding medium.  What’s more, the drug was delivered into the target cell directly. 

Talking about the treatment methods for cancer, Dr. Biman B. Mandal, Associate Professor, Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, IIT Guwahati, said, “Although conventional chemotherapy is one of the most widely used treatment methods for cancer, its drawbacks include poor bioavailability at the actual cancerous regions, which necessitates high-dose injections, and serious side effects that arise because the drugs destroy healthy cells along with the cancer cells in the body. Both these problems can be solved by delivering drugs exclusively to the target cancerous zones, and our silk-nanotube and nanodot based vehicles would serve as good carriers of such drugs.”

The concept of targeted drugs is not new; German Nobel Laureate Paul Ehrlich proposed, in the early 1900s, the concept of ‘Magische Kugel,’ or magic bullet – a drug that can target the disease like a missile fired towards a target.  While early developments on targeted drugs focused on treating infections, the past two decades have seen a surge in the development of targeted drugs for cancer and other tumors.

Doctors are extraordinary people. However, it is rarely just the profession that makes them unique or remarkable. Diving into their world means to dive into the mind of someone who is – deeply committed, inspired by transformative life experiences, and has a higher calling.

Ethan Smallwood’s journey has been captivating, or rather extraordinary. It started in his early years when he won two academic scholarships to study at Solihull School, one of the highly selective private institutions in the United Kingdom. His hard work and determination were rewarded with a place at Nottingham University Medical School in 2016, having achieved 15 A*’s across GCSE and A-Level.

Furthermore, during his time at University, Ethan began to show an insight into his life at medical school through Instagram which really connected with other students and aspiring doctors. As of August 2019, he has amassed over 100k followers on the platform. He has also had the opportunity to travel the world while studying, from New York to Dubai to Thailand. And, of course, he’s graduating medical school in a couple of years — all before he turns 25.

Now, the 21-year-old med student aspires to tell his story to an even broader audience. His soon-to-be-live YouTube channel ‘The Student Doctor’ will be where he shares his own experiences through medical school. It will also help guide prospective med students through the processes of application and attending classes.

It was during the increase in popularity of his Instagram handle that many people contacted him as they became interested in his experiences in medical school. The popularity of his posts gave him the idea to respond to the rising interest in a broader fashion, and in a way that filled a gap in general awareness. 

“Med school can be daunting,” he says, “but also it’s a remarkable experience. I’m fortunate enough to have navigated it and learned so much along the way. How the human body works is just fascinating. Providing people with care is hands-down the most rewarding thing you can do. If you can figure out how to do all the preliminary paperwork and meet the school’s requirements easily, the more time you will have for the really wonderful and inspiring parts of this adventure.”

Of course, the advice and insight that ‘Doctor Ethan’ provides will also be genuine and derived from his own experiences, challenges, trials and errors, and the moments in his life that shaped it. This means he will inevitably be sharing many of these experiences. Ethan hopes that, even though his own journey has been a charmed one, he will still be able to impart information universal enough for anyone to learn from it.

“I’ve been really lucky, no doubt,” he says. “But I’ve also worked hard, I’ve learned a lot, and I’ve had a lot of inspiration along the way. I think that, for as unique as my experience has been, it’s got lessons in it that can teach and inspire others,” concludes the student doctor!
