THIEVERY IN BROAD DAY-LIGHT

THIEVERY IN BROAD DAY-LIGHT

Around one week ago I got a call from an unknown number, the person on the other end said he was calling from State Bank of India and my ATM card had gotten blocked and also that I’ll have to share few details so as to retrieve it, he asked for my aadhar card and ATM card number, fortunately I saw right through his sham, as I didn’t even have a bank account so how could he ask me for these details; I handed the phone to my father and he did the needful.

This was an eye-opener; I was relieved as I didn’t have an ATM card but anyone else could have easily fallen into this trap, this is one of the most common ways of looting people.

Once my aunt went to an ATM and two friendly bystanders got inside along with her, just as she was about to type the PIN both of them started peeking from over her shoulders; obviously, she panicked, grabbed her card and left but forgot to press the cancel button, within minutes she received a message stating that her card had been blocked due to failed attempts to enter the wrong PIN; by god’s grace she wasn't hurt but it is very common nowadays to encounter such criminals trying to purloin your money by committing assaults, placing cameras and tracing hand movements are other ways they use, it is also very convenient for hackers to get the PIN from online transactions or through files downloaded unintentionally, if appropriate security is not provided.

Fraudulent activities like these are becoming common by the day, it is just that one has to be cautious and act smart so they don't get fooled.

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT Shring Bring Sarvaling ,BhootBhavishyaVartamaanBadling! One can’t resist being driven away by the sense of nostalgia while being stumbled upon this mantra! It was unarguably the era of entertainment .While a decade has passed on, Shararat, the fantasy sitcom spanning over 5 installments, definitely gives away every 90s’ kid a chance to brag about those good old days. Shararat revolves around the world of fairies and magic. What added to the delight in the mind of its viewers was the subtle comedy and the perfect comic timing. The Malhotra family involving a mischievous ‘nani’ with her impeccable magic chants, a docile mummy who has settled down with the menial jobs she has to perform as a typical housewife , and a naïve and vulnerable Jiya ,whose life has become miserable since the day she is wielded with magic powers, certainly Shararat was a visual treat. But the story had not been far more convincing without the starry l...

SON PARI

Son pari Mumkin ko namumkin kar de Namumkin ko mumkin Son pari sab hal karti hain Sabki mushkil sab din. Whenever I used to hear this song I used to rush towards my television, because this was my favourite show - "SON PARI" Son Pari was basically a fantasy- adventure TV series. It is based on the story of a little girl name Fruity, who receives a magical gem that, when rubbed, summons a fairy named Son Pari and her friend Altu. Son Pari and Altu start meeting Fruity regularly and have many adventures. They help her get rid of Ruby, a woman who wants to marry Fruity's father, Rohit, for his money. Son Pari is also entitled to save Fruity from Kali Pari ( the main villain). Everyone wishes to have a fairy godmother like Son Pari at some point in their lives. A Pari ( angle) who can solve their problems with a spin of her wand. And this TV show was so famous and loved by everyone because it used to take us to that fantasy world of angels and magic.

One of the most significant shifts that have been observed over the years in the beauty industry is the ultimate evolution of make-up trends varying from vibrant and vivid looks to nude face concepts. Makeup can not be talked about separately when it comes to beauty and fashion,it is an expressive(and perceived to be expensive by men) art, which has evolved immensely over the past century and has vividly been an integral part of our culture. But what have been the major stages of this evolution? Let us take a dive in the past and follow up to the time of the millennials.
