Ganapati , one of the important Vedic deity, worshipped across India and the world may have some special significance that in all our celebrations, we generally miss to explore. I always wonder, after seeing the rich and diverse culture of India, that it's roots may lay somewhere deeper within it's ancient literature, that is often ignored in today's time. Blindly believing in some religious text is the last thing that we should do today. But ignoring some of the oldest ideas ever known to us, maybe from the time when the concept of religion was unheard, may not be the best thing to do. The only way I am going to use the Vedic texts is to get the description of the ideas that we wish to understand. Every kind of idea naturally exists in the world, even before it is ever formulated. Be it the idea of a simple square or the GDP per capita of a nation, they are pure abstracts that always existed. So the Vedic Description should not be seen as some kind of prophesy, but rather

THE DARK SIDE OF SOCIAL MEDIA The few could argue the impact that social media has had on our daily lives. Whilst once a platform for sharing updates and photos amongst family and friends, today’s users ‘live out loud’, often oversharing details of their private lives through Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.  There are now around 2.77 billion social media users globally, each spending around 135 minutes per day on their channels.

Under the microscope in particular is Facebook, which has had no shortage of PR disasters and negative headlines over the years. Issues of user privacy and the mishandling of data became major news when the Cambridge Analytica scandal broke in 2018, but in fact, Facebook’s

History: It’s hard to pinpoint the invention of the electric car to one inventor or country. Instead it was a series of breakthroughs -- from the battery to the electric motor -- in the 1800s that led to the first electric vehicle on the road.  In the early part of the century, innovators in Hungary, the Netherlands and the United States -- including a blacksmith from Vermont -- began toying with the concept of a battery-powered vehicle and created some of the first small-scale electric cars. And while Robert Anderson, a British inventor, developed the first crude electric carriage around this same time, it wasn’t until the second half of the 19th century that French and English inventors built some of the first practical electric cars. How does the Electric Car engine work? Electric cars function by plugging into a charge point and taking electricity from the grid. They store the electricity in rechargeable batteries that power an electric motor, which turns the wheels. Electric ca
