Safeguarding Our Digital Lives: As Prevention is Better than the Cure

Today, I stumbled upon some deeply concerning news regarding the unauthorized leak of private pictures belonging to a 16-year-old girl from her online account. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks we face in the digital world. We must exercise caution and thoughtfulness when sharing anything online, as once something is uploaded, it can be extremely challenging and almost impossible to completely remove it. Almost all of us know the trouble we have to go to remove our own pictures from fake profiles from social media and their customer support is nearly non-existent.

‘Covid Vaccination in the air; false booster dose registered on my COWIN id’

On 3 August, I received a message that I had taken a booster vacation dose at a place 60km away from my home. But I never went there to take a vaccination. I wanted to take a dose as my expected dose date was already passed. However, no private hospitals vaccinate people for a booster dose in my locality. When I searched the Cowin portal, no hospital was available in the city.

It is our money or theirs? – Byju’s Cancellation Issue.

Last month I asked my cousin if he was interested in online studies for his class 11th PCM; he said no, I am not interested as I prefer studying offline. I was okay with the fact he denied any. Sometimes, people have issues like lack of concentration, eye pain and lack of understanding while studying online. However, recently when I went back to my home town, I learned that he had purchased a subscription from Byju’s.

Social media and Me

A few years ago I used to be hyperactive on social media. Initially, it was for exchanging updates of our life with friends & family. As time passed by my social media usage time increased and real-life interaction with my friends decreased. And I found myself in a toxic hell of infinite scrolling, validation, appreciation, and praises. However One day I observed that I checked a post of mine 10 times in a minute for viewing the number of likes and each time I saw the same number gave me a strange kind of sadness.
