CRYPTOCURRENCY : A NEW SHIP!


-Devyanshi Agarwal

I might not have wings today, but evolution in technology gives birth to a hope of having them one day.
The term ‘ Digital’ has penetrated in our lives so swiftly that the growing use of cryptocurrency today does not sound bizarre to us.
 It is a decentralized form of digital currency which uses encryption techniques in generation and regulation of units of currency.
If internet would have been a country, then cryptocurrency might have been its national currency.
Cryptocurrency is a peer-to-peer cash exchange system, free from any bank and government intervention. It uses blockchain technology to record all the transactions and the programmer needs to solve a mathematical puzzle to keep it secure.
Currently, there are 3000 cryptocurrencies in circulation in the world.The first ever digital currency that came into existence on 3rd Janaury 2009, Bitcoin, was developed by an unknown programmer Satoshi Nakamoto. His aim was not to invent a currency but a monetary exchange system independent of a third party.
When bitcoin was launched, its price never topped $1. Its highest price for the year was just $0.39! Today, one bitcoin is worth roughly about $1,200. One of the reasons that could prompt us to buy a bitcoin  today is not so much to use it for online payments but as an investment.
The blockchain system is designed such that at its maximum only 21 million bitcoins can be produced and circulated.  As of today,  16.5 million bitcoins have been mined. That is about 75% of the total cap is already in circulation. Estimates say that the last bitcoin that will ever be mined will come into existence in 2140.
 Unlike traditional currency that is inflationary in nature, the bitcoin is a deflationary currency i.e. if only so many bitcoins will be used and the demand for those rises, the value of a bitcoin would also rise.
Bitcoins are stored in a digital wallet. The wallet is a kind of virtual bank account  that allows users to send or receive bitcoins, pay for goods or save their money only at a fees of Rs 1.67.
Bitcoins have become legally acceptable in 60 countries as of today. Due to its high anonymity, it has become the currency of choice for people buying drugs or other illicit activities.
Other cryptocurrencies such as EB3coin, was founded in the year 2015. It is legally acceptable in 16 countries. 64 million EB3 coins have been mined and in circulation  out of the 786 million coins.
Ripple is a Google backed cryptocurrency, whereas, Microsoft, Accenture, Intel and more than two dozen banks and other companies have formed an alliance to use the Ethereum blockchain code.
There are many more virtual currencies in circulation, but one would have a hard time trading them for actual money.
Cryptocurrency is the currency of future, mostly unregulated but that could change as governments are concerned about taxation and their lack of control over the currency.

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. This s...

INDIAN MAKEUP TRENDS OVER THE YEARS

From Saira Banu in Padosan, Sridevi in Chandini, Karishma Kapoor in Dil Toh Pagal Hai to our all time favourite Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum and Mili in Khoobsurat, the fashion and makeup trends have been all fancy and crazy yet so aesthetic and elegant and these leading ladies are surely 'Goals'.  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.  THE ERA OF SIMPLICITY(1910) -There was hardly any makeup and plain sarees with little or no de...
