WIFI OR MOBILE DATA?

Wi-Fi is generally better for speed, stability, and cost (no data caps) at home or fixed locations, ideal for streaming/gaming, while mobile data offers crucial portability and connectivity on the go, even if it's often slower and has usage limits, making it best for travel or areas without Wi-Fi. Use Wi-Fi when available for heavy tasks; switch to mobile data for flexibility, but be mindful of data caps to avoid extra charges. 


Wi-Fi: The Home/Fixed Location Choice

  • Pros:
    • Faster & More Stable: Connects to broadband, offering higher bandwidth for smoother streaming, gaming, and downloads.
    • Unlimited Data: Usually no data caps on home plans, saving money.
    • Connect More Devices: Easily connect multiple devices without extra costs.
  • Cons:
    • Limited Range: Speed drops with distance or walls; requires a router.
    • Congestion: Can slow down with too many users. 


Mobile Data: The Portable Choice

  • Pros:
    • Portability: Stay connected anywhere with cellular signal.
    • Security: Generally more secure from local snooping than public Wi-Fi.
  • Cons:
    • Slower & Less Stable: Varies greatly with signal strength and network traffic.
    • Data Caps: Plans often have limits, leading to overage fees.
    • Battery Drain: Can use more battery than Wi-Fi. 


When to Use Which

  • Choose Wi-Fi for: Streaming movies, video calls, large downloads, online gaming, or any intensive use at home/office.
  • Choose Mobile Data for:Navigation, browsing, social media on the go, or when Wi-Fi isn't available. 

Best Practice: Use Wi-Fi whenever possible for quality and cost savings, but rely on mobile data for freedom and connectivity when out and about.

WITHIN FOUR FRAMES.

A few days back a person well known to me is no more. He is also a distant relative. I do not know why I have been thinking about him continuously for the past two days. Whenever I am idle, my thoughts go to him. He is much younger to me. 


I should have gone before him. I don't know how I lost in the race. As a matter of fact, nobody knows. He is a good man. A very pious man. A religious man. Far better than me. He has brought up his two children and they are well settled in life. 


He has a wonderful wife to take care of him and three grandchildren to play with. All of a sudden he has gone creating a vacuum in his place. His wife will find it difficult to manage without him. Among the two of them, when one is gone, the other always suffers. 


Loneliness kills. What for this life is meant? My thoughts go wild. We eat different foods, wear different dresses, see different films, talk about spiritualism, religion, politics, and other gossips, etc. We do so many things without having even an iota of thinking about our last day. 


In Mahabharat, the great Yudhishtra, while answering the questions of the Yatchan, said even after seeing so many people die, one thinks that he is going to live long, is the greatest wonder of the world. What happens when the number of counts of breaths assigned to us is over? 


No one knows for sure where we will go and what will happen to us. Have we done anything good for society for others to remember us after the inevitable? That is the purpose of life. Have we made our parents happy? Have we helped anyone poorer? 


Have we lived a life like a real human being? That is what matters the most. Otherwise, we will only be hanging on the wall WITHIN FOUR FRAMES. You like it?

AUTISM.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) cannot be completely curedbecause it's a lifelong neurodevelopmental difference, not a disease, but with early intervention, therapies (like speech, behavioral, occupational), and ongoing support, individuals with autism can develop crucial life skills, thrive, and lead fulfilling lives by managing challenges and maximizing strengths. 


While some children may no longer meet diagnostic criteria as they grow (sometimes called "recovery"), it's more about significant development, and the focus is on personalized support rather than a cure. 


Key Points on Autism & "Cure" 


Not a Disease: Autism is a different way the brain develops and functions, a form of neurodivergence, not an illness to be fixed. 


Spectrum Condition: It affects people differently, so support is tailored to individual needs. 


Goal is Support: The aim of treatments is to build skills (social, communication, daily living), manage difficulties, and improve quality of life, not eliminate autism. 


Effective Approaches (Not Cures) 


Early Intervention: Starting therapies during the preschool years is highly beneficial. 

Therapies: Speech-language therapy, occupational therapy,and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) help with communication, social interaction, and daily living skills. 

Medication: No medications treat autism itself, but some can help with related symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, or irritability, often alongside therapy. 

Support Systems: Education, family involvement, and accommodations help individuals reach their potential. 

What About "Recovery"? 


Studies show some children (estimates vary, 3-25%) no longer meet ASD criteria as they grow, developing typical skills, especially with early, intensive behavioral treatments. 


However, they might still have residual vulnerabilities like attention issues or co-occurring conditions (e.g., tics, anxiety). 


The overall message is that while a "cure" isn't the goal, significant positive development and a fulfilling life are achievable with the right support.

Sachin Tendulkar vs Vinod Kambli.

While Vinod Kambli had exceptional raw talent and a phenomenal start to his career, Sachin Tendulkar is widely considered the better overall player due to his longevity, consistency, discipline, and record-breaking achievements over a career spanning nearly 24 years. 


Vinod Kambli: 

The Talented Starter

Kambli's early career was spectacular, marked by immediate success that led many contemporary experts, including coach Ramakant Achrekar, to believe he was initially the more talented of the two childhood friends. 

  • Exceptional Start: He was the fastest Indian to reach 1,000 Test runs, achieving the milestone in just 14 innings.
  • Big Scores Early: He is the only player to score two consecutive Test double centuries in his first four Tests, and his career Test batting average of 54.20 remains the highest for an Indian batsman with more than 20 Test innings.
  • Natural Ability: He was a flamboyant left-handed batsman with an aggressive style and a wide array of shots. 

Sachin Tendulkar: 

The Long-Distance Champion

Tendulkar had a relatively slower start to his international career compared to Kambli's initial burst but developed into one of the greatest cricketers of all time. 

  • Longevity and Consistency:Tendulkar played for India for nearly a quarter of a century (24 years), maintaining elite performance and adapting his game across different conditions and eras.
  • Unmatched Records: He holds the record for most runs in both Test and ODI cricket and is the only player to have scored 100 international centuries.
  • Discipline and Work Ethic: The key difference noted by legends like Kapil Dev and Rahul Dravid was Tendulkar's unwavering discipline, focus, and dedication to constantly improve his game and overcome weaknesses, such as his initial vulnerability to short-pitched bowling, a flaw Kambli struggled to rectify. 

Conclusion

Kambli's career faded early due to a combination of technical struggles (specifically against the short ball), off-field distractions, and a lack of consistent discipline, playing his last Test at just 23. Tendulkar, by contrast, married his immense talent with an exemplary work ethic and mental toughness, allowing him to sustained excellence for over two decades and achieve legendary status in the world of cricket.

TO SOLVE A PERINEAL PROBLEM ?

Every day there is news about molesting or raping of a woman. Our country has lost its glory of sacred culture. We have to find a solution to it. 


Feminists may find some of my views are conservative. Personal enmity, robing of the jewels, lust are some of the reasons that can be attributed.


Personal enmity can be settled by reporting to the police and arriving at an amicable solution. 


Regarding jewels, to avoid chain snatching they can walk on the right side of the road. They can cover the jewels with their dress or keep it in a bank locker. 


The most predominant factor is lust. Not all men but only a few are lustful. It is a desire for physical gratification. No education can cure this. 


In a country where womenfolk are worshiped, to see this happening is a shame. Everyone should feel as if it is his own loss.


They should condemn and go to the help of the victim to protect them. They should not be silent spectators. They should call the police. 


Every man should take a wow that he will not get attracted to any woman and he will consider them as his mother and sister. The women should have more powers for self-defense. 


Special courts can be formed to deal with the cases. The punishment for rape and molestation should be very severe. The courts should decide the cases within a short period. In our country, sex is considered holy and sacred.


The women should also understand. There is chaos, greed, poverty, anarchy, lawlessness, violence, hatred, perversion, communal intolerance, corruption, religious fanaticism, unemployment, lack of education, instigation by cinema, etc. The damage once done cannot be retrieved.


The women are physically weak. They are the ultimate sufferers physically, mentally and psychologically. They should protect themselves. 


They can get combative training. They can carry chilly or pepper powder to spray on the face. They can take a penknife or toy pistol to threaten the culprit.


They should not go out alone. During the night, they should take a male escort.  They can desist from developing friendship or acquaintance with unknown people. They can inform their parents/elder brother/husband of any untoward incident. Freedom brings only misery.


They can wear a modern protective dress like jeans etc. Women should not wear exhibiting or enticing or inviting dresses. They can go for safe and honorable jobs like teaching, or 9 to 5 daytime work, etc. If a Saree falls on a bush of thorn, it is the Saree that gets damaged and not the thorn.


According to Wikipedia, "there is a misconception that it happens only among the "illiterate and poor" which is not true. It occurs among the "educated and rich", including those who have been abroad for higher education or have significant exposure to other countries.
