A college student’s life is frequently crammed with classes, homework, and social obligations. However, in the midst of this hectic schedule, many students struggle to manage their cash. With tuition, books, and living expenses, there is an increasing necessity for college students to work. Fortunately, the modern world provides numerous opportunities to earn money while maintaining academic commitments. 

Here are seven different ways for college students to make money:

• Freelancing: The gig economy is booming. Platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer offer students opportunities to utilize their skills in areas such as writing, graphic design, programming, and digital marketing. Freelancing allows students to choose projects according to their schedules and expertise.

• Tutoring: College students can leverage their academic strengths by offering tutoring services to peers or high school students. This not only generates income but also helps in reinforcing their own knowledge. Platforms like Chegg Tutors or Tutor.com can help students find clients.

• On-campus Jobs: Many colleges and universities offer on-campus jobs for students. These roles, ranging from library assistants to cafeteria workers, provide a steady income and the convenience of proximity to classes.

• Participating in Research Studies: Research departments often need participants for their studies and are willing to pay for it. These studies can range from answering surveys to participating in physical tests. Students can check bulletin boards or university websites for available opportunities.

• Selling Course Notes and Study Guides: Students who take good notes can sell them to peers who might need extra help. Platforms like StudySoup or Nexus Notes allow students to upload and sell their study materials.

• Becoming a Campus Ambassador: Many brands target college students as their primary audience and hire campus ambassadors to promote their products or services. This role often comes with perks, freebies, and a decent stipend.

• Renting Out Belongings: If a student owns something that others might need occasionally, like a camera, bicycle, or even a parking space, they can consider renting it out. Apps like Fat Llama make this process easy and secure.

While college is a time for learning and personal growth, it is also a good time to experiment with different ways of making money. Students have a wealth of possibilities available to them, whether it’s providing a service, utilising academic skills, or capitalising on assets. By taking advantage of these possibilities, students can not only reduce their financial responsibilities, but also obtain significant experience, skills, and contacts that will serve them well in the future.

Cricket is something which groups its roots in the emotions of every individual in India. Once in a lifetime, every Indian must think of becoming a cricketer.  As the cricket world cup is heading to our doors, the streets of India are filled with joy and happiness to celebrate the biggest festival of the cricketing world.  

In addition to our series “A Countdown to World Cup” today we are sharing the memories of the 80s, when for the first time Indians celebrated the defeat of mighty West Indians as world champions in the final. 

World Cup of 83

The Cricket World Cup of 1983 (officially Prudential Cup ’83) was the third edition of the World Cricket Championship. It took place from 9 to 25 June 1983 in England and Wales and was won by underdogs India. Eight countries participated in the event. England, India, Pakistan and West Indies qualified for the semi-finals. The preliminary matches were held in two subgroups of four teams, and each country played twice against the others in its subgroup. The top two teams from each subgroup qualified for the semi-finals. 

Format

Unlike previous Cricket World Cups, the group stage was played in a robin round format. Group A included hosts England, Pakistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka; Group B included reigning champions West Indies, India, Australia and sole qualifier Zimbabwe. The formats were designed so that all games could be watched live on television, matches were played simultaneously in multiple venues, and for a rain-interrupted game, there was a reserve day.  Although only three matches were required another day. 

The matches consisted of 60 innings and were played in traditional white clothes and red balls. They were all played during the day and there were no day/night matches.

Semi-Finals

In the first semi-final at Old Trafford on June 22, England won the toss and chose to bat. England’s batsmen were unable to play the Indian speedsters and were bowled out for 213, Graeme Fowler was the top scorer for England with 33 from 59 balls, 3 for four and Kapil Dev took 3-35 in eleven overs. Mohinder Amarnath and Roger Binny also shared two wickets each. In reply, Yashpal Sharma and Sandeep Patil scored half-centuries as India reached the target in 54.4 overs to win by 6 wickets in a classic game. Mohinder Amarnath for his all-round performance was awarded player of the match, adding 46 runs to his previous bowling (2/27 from 12 overs) figures.

The second semi-final between Pakistan and West Indies was played at the Oval on the same day. West Indies won the toss and invited Pakistan to bat and they only managed to score 184 in 60 overs for the loss of 8 wickets. Mohsin Khan was the only Pakistani batsman to reach 50, he scored 70 off 176 balls, 1 four. Malcolm Marshall (3/28) and Andy Roberts (2/25) were the top performers with the ball for the Caribbean team. West Indies innings was built on a brilliant show by Man of the Match winner Viv Richards (96-ball 80, 11 fours, 1 six) and Larry Gomes’ unbeaten half-century (50 balls). 100 balls, 3 fours) as the defending champions reached the target for the loss of just two wickets. 

Finals

The final of the 83 World Cup is one of the most spectacular matches in cricket history, India lost the toss and was asked to bat first against the West Indies. Krishnamachari Srikkanth and Mohinder Amarnath were the only batters who offered any significant resistance as Roberts, Marshall, Joel Garner and Michael Holding tore through the Indian batsmen. The opposition allowed India to collect only 183 (all out, 54.4 overs). In reply,  Indian bowling took full advantage of the weather and pitch conditions to bowl out West Indies for 140 runs in 52 overs and won the final by 43 runs. It remains the lowest total successfully defended in a World Cup final ever. Amarnath and Madan Lal took three wickets each. Viv Richards was the top scorer for the West Indies with 33 from 28 balls. Amarnath was once again awarded man of the match for his outstanding all-round play.

Advancements in medical research, especially in plastic surgery and other non-invasive approaches have made it possible to get a desired body shape and image, especially for people who wish to get their preferred shape and live with confidence.

Dr. Vinod Vij, a renowned plastic surgeon in Mumbai, states, ‘Body contouring treatments have emerged as reliable and highly effective solutions to address sagging contours, lax skin, and cellulite and fat deposits. They help transform the body shape and improve the appearance per the patient’s expectations. As a treating plastic surgeon, I perform surgical and non-surgical procedures for body transformation depending on patients’ expectations.

Body contouring can be performed on select body areas, such as the waistline, abdomen, buttocks, thighs etc, for reshaping and redefining the body shape. It is advisable to seek an expert, board-certified plastic surgeon to perform the body contouring procedure.

Patients should approach a plastic surgeon to discuss their condition and the type of body transformation or shape they expect. The plastic surgeon will highlight the desired outcomes and recommend the procedures for attaining the same.

He performs all body contouring procedures such as thigh lifts, a surgical procedure to tighten the underlying tissues and skin due to aging and weight reduction. The breast lift procedure helps to lift and reshape sagging breasts. The plastic surgeon removes extra skin, tightening the tissues and repositioning the nipple and areola. This procedure is also known as mastopexy.

According to India’s leading plastic surgeons, the surgical technique involves the removal of excess skin, along with the tightening of tissues and the repositioning of the nipple and areola. This procedure is commonly referred to as mastopexy.

Brachioplasty or arm lift removes the excess fat and loose skin from the upper arms and gives them a definite shape. A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a procedure in which the surgeon tightens the abdominal muscles by removing extra fat and skin in the abdominal area. Dr. Vinod Vij recommends a tummy tuck procedure for people with projecting stomachs, loose skin, or stretch marks in the abdomen.

The mummy makeover procedure involves a series of techniques, such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck, Liposuction and so on, to overcome the bodily changes due to pregnancy and childbirth. The decision to go ahead with a tummy tuck is recommended only after the women have completed their pregnancy phase.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure in which the doctor uses suction to remove the fat deposition from the neck, thighs, hips and arms. The surgeon makes small incisions to extract the fat, giving the body a defined look and feel.

Fat transfer is another surgical procedure that involves removing fat from one part of the body and injecting it elsewhere to enhance its appearance; for instance, fat from the thigh or the stomach area is used to uplift the breasts, buttocks or breasts.

Dr. Vinod Vij also does non-invasive body contouring, also known as minimally invasive procedures, as they do not require anesthesia or incisions, and the patient can recover in a significantly shorter period. Plastic surgeons recommend these procedures as per their suitability with the patient and the scope for better outcomes.

Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) is a procedure in which the fat cells are frozen and destroyed through controlled chilling. This process removes fat from the abdomen, thighs, double chin and excess fat above the hips and abdomen area. In Laser Lipolysis, laser-assisted Liposuction, or laser fat reduction procedure, the surgeon uses laser energy to liquefy the fat cells. Heat is passed through the laser to dissolve and eliminate the fat cells.

As the name suggests, Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments use radiofrequency to heat and tighten the skin of the abdomen, thighs, arms and face while contouring them simultaneously. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) dissolves fat cells using ultrasound energy that heats, reduces, and tightens the targeted area.

Dr. Vinod Vij also treats abdominal fat using Kybella, a type of injectable fat dissolver. Kybella is an artificial version of deoxycholic acid administered into select areas such as the chin to reduce accumulated therein.

Dr. Vinod Vij shares a patient story of a 35 YO female wishing to remove stubborn fat to contour her body. Dr. Vinod Vij recommended Liposuction, which she proceeded with. She was pleased with the results and her improved body shape. She regained her confidence and self-esteem. Dr. Vinod Vij states,’ Liposuction is a safe surgical procedure which optimal results, fast recovery. Hence, I recommend patients who wish for a well-toned body fit to undergo a surgical procedure.

He asserts that a body contouring procedure does help to boost the self-esteem and confidence of the patient as it a safe and effective solution provided it is performed by an expert plastic surgeon.  The patient too, should clearly discuss the reason for proceeding with a body contour procedure along with their expectations and having a clear picture of the likely outcome.

Nisha IVF Centre, a leading fertility clinic in Bopal, Ahmedabad, offers solution-oriented treatment for patients with recurrent miscarriages. Nisha IVF Centre was established by a team of IVF experts with experience in treating complicated recurring miscarriages with considerable success.

Dr. Nisarg Patel, one of the Founder and Director of Nisha IVF Centre, states, ‘We hope to provide hope and support to patients who are disheartened with their failed attempts in becoming parents. We focus on reaching the cause of these recurring miscarriages and recommending evidence-based ART – IVF advice and treatment to ensure success in the forthcoming IVF cycles”.

Dr. Nisarg Patel and his team encourage in-depth consultations, targeted investigations, relevant fertility outcomes, associated treatment, and patient care. At Nisha IVF Centre, patients can undergo IVF, ICSI, IMSI and other gynecological treatments under expert medical supervision.

Recurrent miscarriages refer to losing a pregnancy three times in a row or more. The reasons for miscarriages can be or cannot be ascertained, but these times are traumatic for women and their families.

Nisha IVF Centre in Ahmedabad strives to offer hope to such patients, led by Dr. Nisarg Patel, one of the most successful IVF specialists. He has a track record of success in the very first IVF cycles for most of his patients.

Several reasons can cause recurring miscarriages, such as genetic factors, autoimmune factors, womb structure, vaginal infections, weak cervix, polycystic ovaries, and much more. While some of these issues are treatable, certain conditions must be medically managed. Dr. Nisarg Patel and his team of IVF specialists work on each patient to arrive at the possible reason for the same and how to overcome the health challenge.

The patients may undergo relevant tests, procedures and medications to resolve the issue. In the case of genetic disorders, doctors prescribe Parental chromosome tests (karyotype), while for polycystic ovaries, they prescribe suitable blood tests by suitable medications or procedures to resolve the issue.

On the other hand, patients with diabetes and thyroid issues are counselled and guided on how to manage and control their levels in the best possible way. They also offer to treat complicated cases such as miscarriages due to blood disorders which require in-depth medical attention and treatment.

Furthermore, the IVF team at Nisha IVF will assist at every step of the IVF cycle, including embryo selection, embryo hatching, egg freezing, IUI, ICSI and other relatable procedures.

As the India Canada relations continue to sour because of the ongoing bilateral tussle, the assassination of another Khalistani terrorist is implemented. On the late night of Wednesday, Sukhdool Singh was shot dead in the city of Winnipeg in Canada. The Khalistani terrorist had links with the Bambiha Gang and was killed in a similar way as Nijjar. Sukhdool Singh Gill, with the alias Sukha Duneke, fled to Canada in 2017 when he was accused of Murder and Extortion. Duneka has previously been involved in various crimes in India like the shooting of Sandeep Naggal Ambian in March 2022, who was shot dead during a kabaddi match in Punjab’s Malian village. 

According to an investigation, “Two police officers who submitted Duneke’s police verification report and criminal history in 2017 when he applied for a passport were reportedly irresponsible in their duties and failed to disclose all the charges that had been filed against him. Although he was at the time charged in seven criminal instances, the police only mentioned five of them while omitting the two where he was given a proclaimed offender status. In a letter to the Moga police dated June 11, 2022,” the Anti-Gangster Task Force stated, According to reliable information, “Sukhdoor Singh Gill was able to obtain an Indian passport as a result of the police officials’ negligence in failing to disclose Sukhdoor Singh Gill’s criminal history in the police verification report for issuing the passport. It is necessary to file a criminal complaint against Gill and the police officers.”

The Police also claimed that Duneka had connections with the Bambiha gang, who were rivals with the Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar gang. The imprisoned gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has claimed the killing of the pro-Khalistani. The continuous inter-gang wars and killings of pro-Khalistanis have led to the weakening of India-Canada relationships and have also caused trouble for the Indian citizens living there.

The Indian Olympic Association announced the flag bearer for the ongoing Asian Games 2023 on Wednesday. Olympian medalist boxer Lovlin Borgohain and hockey captain Harmanpreet Singh will be the flag bearers for India at the Asian Games 2023 Opening Ceremony.

India’s candidate list for the Asian Games is 921, including 655 athletes, 260 coaches and support staff. This is the country’s biggest crowd ever at the Asian Games.

Bhupender Singh Bajwa, head of the India contingent, told the media “We have come today after a lot of deliberation.” Bajwa added, This time we have two flag bearers – hockey captain Harmanpreet Singh and boxer Lovlina Borgohain – leading the charge at the Asian Games. Bajwa is also the head of the Wushu Association of India. 

India reaches semi-finals 

The Indian women’s cricket team has made it to the semi-finals of the Asian Games. Their quarter-final against Malaysia was abandoned due to rain on Thursday, but a higher place allowed the Smriti Mandhana-led side to qualify for the last four. The game was already reduced to 15 overs per side. Malaysia won the toss and asked India to bat first, Indian openers Shafali Verma and captain Smriti Mandhana off to a brisk start and set a target of 174 runs. However, just 2 bowls were bowled in the Malaysia innings and rain came, after waiting for a long time umpires called a call-off. India became the first team to reach the semifinals. 

Today,s event 

The Indian rowers also brought good news, as two pairs made it to the next round. There are more Indians in action later in the day. The Indian women’s football team will look to start their campaign with a win when they take on Chinese Taipei. On the other hand, it will be a chance for redemption for the Indian men’s football team when they face Bangladesh in their second group match after a disastrous 1-5 loss against China in their opening game.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi went to Anand Vihar railway station, Delhi on Thursday morning, 21 September to meet Coolie (Porters). He wears the clothes and badge of a porter and carries baggage on his head, the same as a Coolie does. Rahul Gandhi also discussed with them and asked about the common issues they are facing. He was crowded by hundreds of porters and his actions were also praised by the crowd. From the beginning of “Bharat Jodo Yatra” last year Rahul Gandhi has been trying very hard to build an image of a mass leader. Last month when the prices of vegetables were very high he also visited Azadpur Mandi, Delhi to meet the vegetable vendors. 

After his Bharat Jodo Yatra, Gandhi is often seen interacting with common people and listening to their problems. As part of the party’s outreach program, the Congress shared these experiences on its various social media channels, including Gandhi’s YouTube channel. In late June, the Wayanad MP visited a bicycle mechanic workshop at Karol Bagh in Delhi and interacted with the mechanics. Before that, he also drove a truck in the US and India, where he communicated with drivers and listened to their problems.

The Congress said in a post on X formerly known as Twitter, “Today the national hero Rahul Gandhi ji met his porter friends at Anand Vihar station in Delhi.” Recently, a video went viral in which friends of a station porter who expressed their desire to meet him, which featured a picture of Gandhi interacting with the accusers. “Today, Rahul ji reached out to them and listened to them… Bharat Jodo’s journey continues,” the congress added. Netizens released a video of the Congress leader’s visit to the station, where Gandhi is seen in a red coolie suit and carrying a bag.

For quite some time Rahul is frequently speaking on public platforms in India as well as abroad. In His recent speech in parliament expressed his views very furiously and criticised the government on various internal issues. He also asked the government to enact the Women’s reservation bill with immediate effect and conduct the pending caste-based census.

Living in Venice, California, is a man who thinks he can live forever. Yes. Forever. Bryan Johnson, 46, is a tech entrepreneur who is currently a centimillionaire spending all his time focusing on just one goal: not dying. Mentioned in Time Magazine, Bryan Johnson claims he’s here to bring an evolution for humans and ‘Death’ won’t be a part of it. 

All through this time, Bryan has successfully hired a team of doctors who help me to reduce his biological age. His ways are peculiar but it is believed to be working. According to some sources, Bryan has spent 4 million dollars on what he calls a ‘Blueprint’ –a life extension system.  

This system involved gulping up 111 pills everyday, wearing a gadget on your head that throws red light into your scalp, collecting your own stool to examine it and sleeping with tiny airpods like devices to measure your erections every night. Not just this, Johnson also believes in not eating unhealthy and less than eight hours of sleep per night is an act of violence. 

Top Stories: Elon Musk, a Superhero or a Supervillain?

Just like elite athletes and celebs try to soften the age blow by taking therapeutics therapy to keep their young bods from hyperbaric and cryotherapy chambers to  recover sleepwear. Many of these known names also support Unity Biotechnology, a company devoted to developing therapeutics to slow or reverse diseases associated with ageing. But not Johnson, he isn’t following a restricted routine to just tone his muscles and stay wrinkle-free, he is doing it to avoid old-age problems but to eliminate them entirely. He believes ‘death is optional and he won’t do it.’ 

He has outsourced his entire body to a team of doctors who believe that by following this rigid routine, Johnson wants to achieve organs and body parts to function like that of an 18 year old. The team also recently studied that Johnson, who is 46, has the heart health of a 37 year old and bones of a 30-year-old. His research has shown that this system is better at managing human bodies. 

Redefining the term ‘Human’

Johnson says that his strict regimen for diet and body is somewhere near to the Italian renaissance and invention of Calculus in the pantheon of human achievement. In search of answers, Time sent their team to his house– not looking to find out whether his system works in reducing age or not but to actually figure out what a human life would look like if it was run on algorithms. It’s not astonishing that some tech savvy is finally trying to figure out how to minimally live a life that does not end like everyone else– in death,  what’s really consuming the train of thoughts here is even if we could ever find a way to optionalize Death, will it be worth it? So, if you could live on forever, would you do it?

Dr. Harsh Sheth, a leading bariatric surgeon in Mumbai, is an expert in performing hernia repair surgeries. He stays updated with the latest gastroenterology surgical procedures especially robotic surgery for hernia repair.

Considered a leading Advanced Laparoscopic & Bariatric Surgeon in Mumbai, he is adept at performing minimally invasive procedures. He is associated with various notable hospitals in Mumbai, such as Saifee Hospital, Bhatia Hospital, Jaslok Hospital, Wockhardt Hospital (Mumbai Central), and Conwest & Manjula S Badani Jain Charitable Hospital.

Dr. Harsh Sheth, one of the best bariatric surgeon states, ’Robotic surgery has emerged as an exciting new frontier in hernia repair. Though traditional open surgery and laparoscopic techniques have given great results, robotic surgery offers better patient recovery and outcomes. The decision of the most suitable procedure for hernia repair depends upon the type of hernia, the patient’s age and health, and the surgeon’s expertise.’

Hernia refers to the defects or weakness in the band of muscular tissue that keeps the abdominal organs in their respective positions. There are various types of hernias viz. incisional hernia (which occurs at the site of surgical incisions), umbilical hernia (which occurs at the umbilicus), hiatus hernia (which occurs when the stomach herniates into the chest).

Dr. Harsh Sheth elaborates that robotic hernia repair is like laparoscopic surgery but performed slightly differently. In robotic surgery, a surgical robot with instruments is docked onto the patient, and the surgeon sits on the console controlling the instruments docked on the patient. The surgeon can view the 3D magnified image and perform the surgery.

Moreover, the surgical instruments perform surgery with enhanced precision and accuracy. Also, they can access areas that are hard to reach with manual surgery (open or laparoscopic). Bariatric Surgeons can also easily sew tissues and meshes within the abdomen during the robotic hernia procedure. Dr. Harsh Sheth states robotic surgery can be easily used for larger hernias and complex abdominal wall reconstruction, which may be difficult to perform laparoscopically.

He adds that patients will experience minimal surgical trauma and relatively less blood loss accompanied by smaller scars after the surgery. The patient will also recover sooner when compared to an open or even laparoscopic hernia repair procedure.

Dr. Harsh Sheth highlights the immense benefits of robotic surgery for hernia repair, where precision meets progress. The robotic platform empowers the surgeon to precisely navigate the surgical site, manipulate surgical instruments with precision, minimize damage to the surrounding tissue, and maximize the degree of repair, which may be beyond human capacity. Overall, the robotic platform has redefined surgical excellence with a promise of the best possible surgical outcomes.

About Dr. Harsh Sheth

Dr. Harsh Sheth is a highly esteemed bariatric surgeon in Mumbai with a decade of invaluable experience in gastroenterology. He performs all types of GI surgeries using minimally invasive techniques with proficiency.

He is available for consultation at Saifee Hospital, Bhatia Hospital, Jaslok Hospital, Wockhardt Hospital (Mumbai Central), and Conwest & Manjula S Badani Jain Charitable Hospital in Mumbai.

Case Study:

A 90-year-old partially mobile female presented with an irreducible supra-umbilical hernia since 1 month presented with severe pain over the hernial site. The patient was investigated, and a CT scan revealed a 4.5 cm supra-umbilical hernia with the large intestine stuck within the hernia. The pain was possibly due to intermittent blockade of the large intestine within the hernia sac.

The patient was advised a robotic surgery in view of her age and complex nature of the hernia. The procedure was completed by the robotic approach uneventfully in 3 hours, and the patient was sitting up in her hospital bed and sipping on a juice 3 hours after the procedure.

The patient was discharged the following morning and is doing well on her follow up.
