A new PDF not study

According to a new study Should be rephrased as According to a new PDF Before that, you got to know what does it takes to publish a paper.


Yes there is a huge difference in that let me get this straight, at some point you have to admit your inability to understand the difference, progress is a double-edged sword. 

  • Pick a problem 
  • Solve in your way 
  • Drafting it 
  • Peer review 

Usually, this process takes a year or maybe two, because it's the science that can't fast up for advancement. It's just not the way it works.


Scientists have published almost 2,500 studies on Covid-19 this year and that number doesn't even include the piles of preprints and drafts posted online that are yet to undergo the rigorous review process of a scientific journal that number is huge, for comparison, related to the virus SARS, scientists didn’t even publish anywhere close to 1,000 coronavirus studies in a whole year. But again all those studies doesn't mean they have solved the problem that is lurking on with this pandemic. 


The gap is growing between how fast science really works and how fast we wish it would work.


NOW enter the media “what part of this scientific study do they get right”. 


A reporter starts with a line according to the newly published study, and followed by an elite college name and throws a conclusion on viewers face, of course, they are very good at it, they wanted to reduce the cognitive load of the viewer so they put it more easily but that comes with a catch by not stating the odds of it.


The viewer obviously ‘us’ just consumes that data, even if you dismiss it with domain knowledge or with a light of hope. it just gets into your 

the subconscious mind, you can't stop it.


Those unproven studies get into your daily conversations in WhatsApp groups or just a casual phone conversation with your friends, family and 

guess what you're spreading the infodemic faster than the pandemic, 

asymptotically!.


Yes, it's very important to keep yourself updated with information to stay aware and pass on the information in the best interest of your 

friends and family. 


But this infodemic does more harm than good, you are feeding the misinformation. 


If you are a banker, engineer or mom and pop shop owner, live with it, just don't get into the field of medicine. 


After all, You won't be entitled as best ‘“Whatsapp DOC.” of the year

The Pellichupulu Date

Image
When you grow together in love, sometimes you pause to watch the person next to you and feel thankful for life. You may wonder where it all started. For me, that moment is our first date, “the pellichupulu date” – the starting point of the trajectory of our love. Ayyira and I met at a traditional pellichupulu, spoke there, and connected on Instagram. We hadn't informed our parents of our decision yet, as we thought we should take some time. We texted for a week, and one weekend, I decided to go meet her in Hyderabad. I still recall that day when I stood in the Tatkal line to book a ticket; my hands were trembling not just from the Tatkal pressure, but also from thoughts of how the day would go when I met her in Hyderabad. I texted her the Saturday evening when I was boarding the train, and she had plans for Sunday to visit her parents. However, she cancelled her plans and decided to meet me. She asked about my plan for the day, and honestly, I had none. My whole intention was to me

Love in inverted schedule

Image
Ram and Ayyira have been married for nearly a year, and in just 10 days, they'll celebrate their first anniversary. They both work in the software industry, but their work schedules are quite different. Ram's work hours follow the usual 9-5 routine, while Ayyira's shift begins at 9, but during a different part of the day. In the beginning, they faced challenges in finding a common time to spend quality moments together. However, it didn't take them long to discover the beauty of love within their inverted schedules. They did have their fair share of arguments and disagreements, watching the newly released movie on matinee or evening show, and going out for lunch or dinner, but the remarkable aspect of their relationship was that they always resolved these issues before bedtime. Netflix and chill, Swiggy and bill. Occasionally, Ayyira had the opportunity to work from home. Before she logged in, Ram would sit beside her, sharing the events of his day. In return, she would

Packing Happiness

Image
Last night, I found myself in a bit of a rush to send off the skating shoes I'd bought for my nephew. Staff at the RTC parcel service refused to take them unless they were properly boxed up. It was already 8:45 in the evening, and with closing time at 9, I was running out of options. There were no department stores nearby, so in a bit of desperation, I hurried into a nearby PAN shop. The shopkeeper, a man in his sixties, took one look at the shoes and exclaimed with excitement, "Aren't these skating shoes?" It wasn't surprising to me that he recognized them; it was popularised in mainstream movies. But what caught my attention was the genuine joy he expressed as he carefully packed the shoes. Despite his shop being crowded with customers, he didn't hesitate to roll up his sleeves and handle the task with utmost professionalism. During our conversation, he shared with me his longing for skating. He told me how he had always dreamt of owning a pair himself but n
