Data can be proved overwhelmingly wrong!!

-


Statistics have been proved to be useful from ancient years. Years ago when sun would have been discovered, its distance might been averaged before actually getting the correct distance. Later as we grew more interested in data, we started to discover more tools and configuring them according to our data. Data is the ingredient for any statistical occupation and tool. Through data we can honor and sustain everything. 

This is in reference to the recent interview that occurred between Zee Media and PM Modi. The fact stated by him against the question that under his governance, he failed to provide sufficient jobs to the people. He replied stating that he provided 55 Lakh jobs to us. After two days Jairam Ramesh, congressman and his co-author dishonored this reply and published an article in refute of it. What they did wrote was very write in their terms of data and supporting examples. 

The duo stated that Modi was telling a killing lie to the nation. They took the help of data released from EPFO and commanded it over the statement to prove the falsification. Even I have considered true what Modi told and was in the demotion that I am the poorest of all well beings who had not got the job in spite of all that, however TCS CEO claims that he had recruited 47,000 Indians past this month. Well 10 from my college only, they count and I am not among them. Apart demonitisation and GST implementation the cash inflow was good in banks but was not sufficient to prove that this has helped in making the consensus. 

Point is that under circumvents of Surveys, Census and public opinions governments cannot impose wrong interpretation to public. However sometimes these are correct, sometimes are not. Accepting it, my college teacher has warned me to believe on any data unless you have collected, mined it and generated the information for it. Not only government, media often misguides us from the survey they released from opinion polls before and after elections. I would say apply the same logic and don’t believe anyone’s data. 

That’s why people talk of publicizing the data. Still if they make the data public simple maths cannot help you to falsify the hypotheses. That’s why we need honest advisors, consultants, media persons and lawyers who can unmask the fact. Ramesh has similarly done the right job and should be appreciated for coming as a true opposition MP. But Modi would say it an allegation has he has issue a similar statement in the interview. 

Final words for the article
Data is power. It depends on the operator (economist) how it operated it. Because statistics is something which can be used to state a fact true even if it’s wrong. Data can be mistreated to present fallacy, like happens for the formula of GDP. Thereby need of right economist who can facilitate a role as public speaker, conservationist, thinker and editors are required to disprove and oppose such facts because knowing simple maths would not help you to dig out the truth, statistics will.

My First Love Fiction

-
Sitting in his chair, Shrey was thinking about Priya, her crush whom she met two years ago in his class. From past few days he takes a glance on her as if trying to bathe in moonlight. She on the first bench busy with her friends with whom which she shares the bench. Before these days Shrey was unaware of her and himself was unaware why he decided to lay his eyes on her. One gaze of her in the morning as if would make his day. Being an introvert he was able to figure her out as himself. What decided him to say her an introvert is by handful of facebook posts on her wall, whom which he was friend from last December. Returning to home, he reminds the whole day just by that glance. He was sure that he had fallen in love but dared to find and express to her. As the time passed he took her number started chatting with her on pushchat. She also looked the same as he had guessed, an introvert but he hardly expressed this fact. Days got passed and he wents frustrated if she doesn't repli

NATURE IS FOR SOUL

-
This is what Sankhya, the famous scholar had said. Actually this article is in context of love and has been revised from the third chapter of Karmayoga. What this chapter is about and discusses about basically knowledge, love and bliss. As trio are very much related to each other. Firstly the knowledge which is the ultimate karma, then love which is unattached brings bliss which is ultimate goal to achieve. Now coming to nature. Nature is for us not the converse is the case. There is so much to learn from the nature. Actually nature is the open book for us to educate. That's why we learn from it. But since love is unattached we have to close down the same book after educating ourselves. No offence till now. Next is karma which is nothing but fruit of mere education from nature. We must work incessantly so as to follow karmayoga as well as Bhagavadgita. It clearly states to work like a master but not like a slave. Work should be done through freedom and love. We should not

When I took off from Delhi, my offer letter stated I need to be at Mysore. When I waited at Majestic Bus stand for Mysore bus conductor was calling out the name "Mysoor Mysoor Mysoor", I double checked if this bus goes to Mysore. On the way, I read about this pronunciation and it was derived from Mahishasur. Say this 10 times as fast as you can and it will get shorten to Mahisur. No, I am not making fun of Kannada but this is a true story. The city was named after Mahishashura. It was getting devastated by this demon and only after that Devi Durga killed him. Durga is a familiar name in north India. Here, in Mysore, she is known as Chamundi Devi. A dedicated shaktipeeth like Vaishno Devi is present here as well. This temple is Chamundeshwari temple.  Mysore, earlier written as Mysuru in our history texts was known to me because of the Tipu sultan story. Historically this region has been capital and still widely known for its cultural heritage. It's a very small town, with
