Current affairs made fun

Are you bored of monotonous current affairs webpages but still want to stay updated about the world? Well , guess what !! Here's staying updated made fun!

Once upon a time, in the bustling capital city of India, the Prime Minister was scheduled for an important interview. The nation had been eagerly waiting to hear about the achievements and initiatives undertaken during his term as the leader of the country. As the interview commenced, the interviewer asked the Prime Minister to share some notable accomplishments. 


With a confident smile, the Prime Minister began by mentioning how he had successfully transformed Kerala into the first fully e-governed state in the country. Through the implementation of advanced technology, the state had witnessed significant progress in various sectors, including education, healthcare, and governance. 


The interviewer was intrigued and delved further, asking about the Prime Minister's efforts in utilizing artificial intelligence for the growth of the youth. The Prime Minister replied with pride, speaking of the initiatives taken in Odisha to integrate AI into education and skill development programs. These initiatives aimed to equip the youth with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in the modern world. 


Impressed by these technological advancements, the interviewer shifted the discussion towards potential risks, specifically mentioning concerns regarding the wrong usage of artificial intelligence in medical practices and data privacy. The Prime Minister responded by highlighting his proactive approach, explaining how he had urged the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to release comprehensive guidelines to address these concerns. He emphasized the importance of balancing innovation with ethical considerations to safeguard the well-being and privacy of citizens. 


Intrigued by the Prime Minister's strategic approach, the interviewer asked how he intended to tackle issues that technology alone couldn't solve. Without hesitation, the Prime Minister shared an inspiring incident from his tenure—a successful case in Manipur where he had resolved long-standing conflicts among various ethnic groups. Through commission with CM, governor and members representing all the ethnic groups PM had fostered an environment of peace and unity, showcasing the power of human connection and understanding. 


As the interview progressed, the interviewer highlighted some remarkable achievements during the Prime Minister's term. He mentioned the significant increase in digital transactions, reaching a staggering 89.5 million, a testament to the government's efforts in promoting a cashless economy. Moreover, the country's GDP (Gross domestic product) had accelerated to an impressive 6.1% within the quarter, thanks to various policy reforms and infrastructure development. 


With the interview nearing its end, the interviewer posed one final question: What inspired the Prime Minister to utilize technology for the country's development? The Prime Minister paused for a moment, reflecting on his journey. He began by recounting a personal story from his past. 


He narrated a tale of a worried father who was anxious about his son's upcoming 10th-grade board exams. However, the father received a piece of news that filled both of them with joy—the Assam government had announced the discontinuation of board exams. The father, relieved and excited, promised his child a day of quality time together, including a movie in the evening. 


As they sat together watching television, they stumbled upon the Speedo Meet swimming competition. The child, with his innocence, made a playful comment about the name, suggesting that all swimmers' speeds should be the same to have a fair competition. The Prime Minister's eyes sparkled as he continued the story, revealing that India had won three gold and three bronze medals in the competition, making the child's face light up with happiness. 


Later that evening, as they stepped out to watch the movie, Drishyam, as it was child's favourite and was getting remade in Korean, an information that was not needed yet was mentioned several times by the kid due to his excitement. However, their joy soon turned to concern when they witnessed a passerby experiencing a sudden heart failure. Panic filled the air until a man named Lancet arrived swiftly, equipped with an app on his smartphone. With calm confidence, he used the app to identify subtype of heart failure and help in it's prognosis in order to treat the passerby, ultimately saving his life. 


The incident left a lasting impact on both the father and the child. It ignited a spark within them, inspiring them to leverage technology for positive change.

Dying with Borderline

The face I see in the mirror of the woman looking at me feels foreign. I look at her while I dissociate. Are we the same? Do I live inside of her, or does she control me? Every waking moment, a thought creeps up: Is she sane? Am I ruining her life? What if I merge with her? Is that even possible? We look the same, yet we have no sense of familiarity. I fail to recognize her on most days. The picture she took a week ago seems so different; is that her real smile? Does her nose crinkle up? The ghost of me walks through the hallways of the college, smiling at people, sometimes strangers.  I have lost all control over her. We are two different beings now. The third one who recognizes her shows up some days, but we don't let her stay. She dared to call me a monster while all I did was protect her. She knows she doesn't deserve love. We know it's never coming our way. Her trying to look pretty only gets her looked at, stared at, and objectified. But we know that's the closest...

WILL YOU BE THERE ?

  Sometimes we just crave for someone's presence When a thousand thoughts cross the mind, The time passes just to rewind, Will you be there ? When the night is dark And the day is darker, When the words are sharp But the thoughts are sharper, Will you be there ? When in the best of situations Nothing seems right, When the days are scarier than the night, Being my twilight, Will you be there ? When in cloudy skies  I can't see the moon, I'll have my own  When you will be here, Will the time come soon ? And when the stars align The moments are rare, When we both have time Will you be there ?                                       ~ Akshita

A bliss and surge in D

I happened to be alive. I happened to be aware and hoped to be conscious and in control of myself when I decided to visit D2. What is D2? Where is D2? It’s nowhere. Nowhere can be anywhere; anywhere with no name attached to it, anywhere that’s not anticipating to be noticed, anywhere which is desperate for your attention, anywhere may be beyond within or within beyond, or it may just be no where. What I did was – give a stage to my imagination and let it create a figment. Then I included it in my thoughts, provided it my flesh and soul. It started to get a structure as it found shelter against reality within me. I call it D. But my imagination, showcasing its dominance and control of my thought and eventually my reality made me believe, and I still do believe that D is not complete yet. It is enough the way it is. It is content being a part of me. Still it’s awaiting to embrace something that’s not me and yet it is nowhere. I am really sanguine about finding that. I would like D to fee...

Immoral Clown

          I have the conscience of a human. This much I know for I seem to have memories. I know about memories and what they are from my memories itself. It is such a loop that the proof of my knowledge and the reason - why I am the way I am consists within the reason itself. It’s like I’m inside water and I know that I’m inside water, but without actually understanding that the ecosystem thrives beyond too. It must not be making sense right? Well, it definitely won’t for I am a clown. No disrespect to those in the human society; I am talking about being a Clown Fish. It’s strange to even imagine but that’s who I am - now. It’s like Kafka’s metamorphosis. No, I won’t flatter myself. That’s an incorrect comparison and you’ll know why soon.                          I remember being a lawyer. The profession surmounted to me somehow sleeping peacefully every night; but my days were always busy. I ...

The Gaza Conflict & India's stand on it.

 In the shadow of history's darkest chapters, Gaza and Israel have become synonymous with suffering, their names etched in the annals of human conflict with a permanence that belies the fleeting nature of headlines. Since the fateful day of October 7, 2023, the world has borne witness to a tragedy of unimaginable proportions, one that transcends the boundaries of geography and ideology to pierce the collective conscience with a searing intensity. From the blood-stained streets of Gaza to the bomb-scarred neighborhoods of Israel, the images that have emerged from this latest chapter in the ongoing saga of violence and oppression are as haunting as they are heartbreaking. Each frame, each pixelated snapshot of human misery serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the brutality of war. Yet, amidst the rubble and despair, there is a glimmer of hope—a hope born from the resilience of the human spirit, from the unwavering resolve of those who refuse to be silenced in the f...

A Seamless urge to meet

  Will see you on the other side of this world soon What if I burn the whole world  To take the emergency exit  That leads me to you  What if I freeze everything  Including time at the time  When I was with you What if this world ends  For us to meet again  At a place away from this place  Where the moon has your face  Where your footprints are what the rivers trace  Where the rainbow doesn't have an end  Where being together is the trend  Where the eternity begins Where the world loses and love wins  Where every cloud has your shape  Where your colours are what the skies drape Where everything blends in you  Where nothing is true but you ~Akshita

Labyrinth's Whispers

I walk with shadows on my back,  Down a Boulevard of dreams that crack. Hearts resilient'neath thousand splendid suns,  Yet I shatter all, when my journey's begun.  Anticipating into the unknown, I stride, Embracing antipathy, I hide.  Turning cold, my warmth fades away, Far from kindness, in the darkness I sway.  Close to my bosom, yet distant I roam,  In the eyes of a cyclone, I find my home.  A catastrophe, yet empathy within,  In my poetry, my essence, I begin.  Dire, eccentric and ferocious in my stance.  Indispensable yet obsolete in this dance.  Insignificance, a theme I proclaim.  A distorted image, in the guise of a name.  A nuance of casualty in every line,  A mirage in the desert , obscure and fine.  In this Labyrinth of life I find my role,  In the depths of my soul, I find my console.
