Even as India and Pakistan wrangled over the nationality of a militant captured after a deadly attack in Udhampur, INNLIVE spoke to a Pakistan-based man who identified himself as the “unfortunate father” of the attacker.
“I’ll be killed. The Lashkar is after us and the fauj is after us,” Mohammad Yakub told in chaste Punjabi when contacted on a phone number disclosed to interrogators by the arrested gunman Mohammad Naved.
“You are calling from India. We’ll be killed. I am the unfortunate father,” said Yakub, who sounded flustered when he answered the call.
Do you often ask, with all the manpower and resources why India is yet to be a developed nation? It is the same question the late former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam had asked. Along with 500 experts, he made a blueprint of the road to development. Aside from all the jet-setting and speeches, PM Narendra Modi could take a few pointers from the Missile Man.
Dr Kalam noted 5 areas of importance - agriculture and food processing; Infrastructure electrification; Education and Healthcare; Information and Communication; Technology and Industry.
My domestic help Ruksana has a seven-year-old daughter and a four year-old son. She enrolled them in a private school in the neighbourhood instead of the government primary school. Reason: No proper food, education and facilities.
At the government school she could benefit from the Right to Education (RTE) Act which guarantees eight years of free, quality education to all children aged six to fourteen years. Instead, she shells out nearly Rs 800 a month for fees plus a good chunk on miscellaneous – books, uniforms, school activities, etc.
Many of us love beautiful green plants and we grow them in our homes. However, what many may not know that there are some plants that actually can have disastrous effects on the health, being extremely harmful to the people living there. The situation gets worse if children, unaware of the danger, come into contact with some of these plants.
Namely, this is an advice by a parent, who is appealing that you be careful of these poisonous plants, since they can cause great loss.
Being in a nation obsessed with education and employment, no stone is left unturned to get the best. These options in the form of what is called a ‘Semester Abroad Program’ or a ‘Semester Exchange Program’ are a great way to provide a boost.
Some of the prestigious colleges in India have taken this concept to another level and have developed specific programs to cater to the imperative need of globalization. Some primary examples come in the form of Institute of Management (IMT) Ghaziabad’s Dual Country Program (DCP), Management Development Institute Gurgaon’s Postgraduate Programme in International Management (PGPIM), and S.P. Jain’s Global MBA program.
We came across a picture of the comedian dressed in a sherwani and a turban looking all set to get married. Kapil Sharma is on a break from popular television show on Colors TV's 'Comedy Nights With Kapil' owing to an injury. But this picture, being widely circulated online, points in another direction.
We're as surprised as you are. When we came across this picture of the comedian, we immediately began to wonder whether Kapil Sharma's reason for being absent from the show was an excuse to instead secretly tie the knot. In the picture, Kapil is seated at what looks like a marriage mandap, in a sherwani and turban, looking all set to get married. He is seen holding a small-sized fan in his hand.
If you’ve ever thought that the quest for more clicks is affecting the sorts of articles that get published in the media, a renowned marketing professor Pinar Yildirim wants you to know that you’re right. But it’s not quite the overarching impact that you might expect.
In this interview with INNLIVE, she talks about a new paper, “Clicks and Editorial Decisions: How Does Popularity Shape Online News Coverage?” The paper, which was co-authored by Ananya Sen, a doctoral candidate in economics at the Toulouse School of Economics in France, teases out the differences in how high-traffic stories get treated in terms of longer-term coverage.
Bananas as you know them are indeed under great threat, but the bananas you eat today are merely the latest strain of the fruit and the notion that it would become totally extinct is fanciful. But there is a reason why the rumour started.
In 2003 The New Scientist claimed bananas could be extinct in a decade due to the leaf disease Black Sigatoka as well as Panama Disease, caused by a soil fungus that attacks the roots of the plant. The article may seem alarmist, given that we’d have to lose all bananas within the next two years for it to be true, but it shouldn’t be ignored. After all, the Panama disease has struck in a big way before.
