West Bengal Vidhansabha Assembly Votes, Most creative election, Ever?

Sarcastic digs on opposition parties, isn't new, neither are posters with special messages. A viral song, Khela Hobe by a former YouTuber and an engineer by profession Debangshu scripted the song overnight in the North Bengal (as told to TV guys) and the song raged, forcing opposition parties to create spin versions, to catchup on the trend (failed sic).

 #KhelaHobey has taken, Bengal if not India by storm? With less than 2 weeks before the final showdown, this IPL - Indian Political League  (Bengal chapter) 2021, is going to be the most creative political campaign, EVER. 

Khela Hobe campaign anthem of the TMC

Bengal ka time aayega. need to wait, and watch.

No Dhoni Is Not Going To Be Bald in the VIVO IPL 2021. #newAd

Instead,  I predict MSD Is ready for a blockbuster career in acting. Could be cinema, OTTs, like Netflix, Amazon or neo real, shows on Discovery , even Star TV. Why, do I feel so? Because,  rarity,  is a quality, suits, and fits, the captain of Chennai, the THALAVI OR THALA

They followed, the rules of engagement .

Bring,  the top guy. Dhoni. Get him, on screen, and create a viral content. Bingo. Make him bald (even Ranbir Kapoor), went through one recently.

Oh, yes, do a prebuzz, yeah? Like a 1 hour to go or 3 hour to go, some shit like that.

Twitter erupted, today guessing Dhoni turning a real life monk? Sadly, no, thats cleared, his Avatar as an Army officer,  negates that idea of brand Dhoni being diluted.

At JU, a friend Rosh,  used to wear a sweat shirt, with a slogan of her Alma mater Ferguson College, Poona.

It read, "down to earth, but above you all". 

That's, MAHI. He is like brother. I am like his elder brother (we share the same year 1981 and your birthday is 7th July), Mera January mein padtah hai. 

GREED IS GOOD. 

Straight out of 1987, Wall Street, by Micheal Douglass,  he famously said, greed is good. The ThoughtCo added, Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko in an insightful speech , "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good." 

Thala Monk Dhoni, talks about "laalach (or greed).

1987, Wall Street (an epithet of capitalism), Gordon Gekko aka Douglas

went on to make the point that greed is a clean drive that "captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind." Hmmm. Heavy shit.

Dhoni, attacks Rohit, by saying he is the HITMAN. 

reminded me of my childhood wwf wrester Bret ' Hitman' Hart, #brethart

 Its a different case, that this dig is towards, @ImRo Rohit Sharma. That he is greedy. However,  smartass Dhoni, reverse sweeps the situation,  by turning the narrative, by justifying GREED. "TOH LAALACH IS COOL". Sai hai na? Mumbai, captain has won 5 times, and greedy for more,  that falla.  That's thala, Dhoni...

 smartly, closes the deal by saying, towards,  watch the games, starting April, 6. Check, schedule below on STAR.

Next, video, released after erupting Twitter,  causing a memefest late night , was to target, King Kohli, the VIRAT. CAPTAIN of India, team, mentored by MSD.

He picks, vivek (wisdom), this time, and asks  where is the wisdom? 

The subtle dig was, towards the "angry Kohli". 

The kids say, he can't find vivek (wisdom)

The army officer, played well by Dhoni, justifying anger,  that it helps people WIN.

FAMOUS, Mountain Dew advert says, Darr ke aage jeet hai. 

So, here, describing anger, as a positive emotion,  if channeled proper  , it can reap benefits...

Dhoni, Sir, insists to stay angry...

That's, all for tonight, gotta catchup work tomorrow...

Hazardous work OHS, in modern India, Salute to workers

This Sunday balmy Kolkata evening, one sight at railway crossing sprang my attention. Partly surprised,  yet not (India hai, chaltah hai syndrome) surprised. This young guy, trying to fix something (probably an electric line), crisscrossing the local suburban trains, near Dumdum Cantonment. Was it risky? (Video of his duty coming soon).

A quick Google, took me to a integration landing page.

In their blog, Ms. Ashima Obhan and Ms. Nishtha Jaisingh,  collectively pen down the 'Occupational Safety, health and working condition code', 2020, plus two other codes, (yet to be notified).

"The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (“OSH Code“) received the President’s assent on September 28, 2020 along with two other codes, all of which are yet to be notified by the Government. The OSH Code has subsumed several key pieces of legislation on the working conditions of labour and consolidated it into one comprehensive act, including, inter alia, the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, the Factories Act, 1948, etc. The new codes are an exercise in ensuring a streamlining of the labour laws in the country. We take a look at some of the key provisions of the OSH Code below:

Key Definitions under the OSH Code 

Some of the important definitions that the OSH Code has amended are as follows:

Contract Labour: “Contract labour” has been defined as a worker deemed to be employed in/in connection with the work of an establishment when he is hired for such work through a contractor, with or without the knowledge of the principal employer. The definition excludes any worker (other than a part-time employee) who is regularly employed by the contractor for any activity of his establishment and such worker’s employment is governed by mutually accepted standards of conditions of employment and gets periodical increment in pay and other welfare benefits1."

The ILO reads, that the Occupational accidents and diseases have an impact not only on the lives of individual workers but also on the productivity and profitability of enterprises and ultimately, on the welfare of society. In response, governments, workers and employers across the world are increasing their efforts to prevent accidents and diseases at the workplace.

Thus, I wish our workers, post pandemic especially the Indian Railways, Kolkata metro, deep gratitude and thanks. Vinaka

Samsung Galaxy One UI 3.0 update gets a makeover shot in the arm in 2021

Am I the only one, who is experiencing incredible Androidian phone 📱performances, after the patch One UI 3.1 was updated recently in 2021? So, Whats so different about it? 

Am no expert in mobile tech, because I myself refused to realize the difference between an Android and a non Android phone and deliberately used Nokia phone. I stuck to it (since the Nokia 3310 in year 2001) like a jilted lover,  refusing to let it go, kept on doing Nokia,  year after year, one and a half decade, precisely. Finally, in my overseas stint, I gave way to Android, and took up a Motorola. 

Only to loose it one day, at the Victoria Parade,  Suva area in Fiji,  likely in Traps. Samsung S10e happened the next week, and I am enjoying it. That's my mobile story in short. 

The One UI update

Am using  content from official samsung sites, so that you get the actual.  The new UI 3.1 brings select, new camera capabilities for capturing and editing incredible photos and videos and smart new features to be able to help you get more from your Samsung device.

There are variety of changes to Samsung’s custom Android user interface and Being a minor update to One UI, version 3.1 doesn’t make any design changes. However, Samsung has simplified and decluttered some menus, particularly the quick toggles area in the notification shade. By default, the notification shade shows only a select few quick toggles, and the rest have to be manually added as needed.

One of the biggest changes which I saw was Google reclaiming its legit space on an Android phone such as Samsung. 

The Google discover is now on the home page and it is allowing me quick easily to navigate and get what I want, a little more quickly. 

One UI 3.1 lets you select between Google Discover on the left-most home screen and Samsung Free/Samsung Daily. One UI 3.1 also makes Google Messages native, with various optimizations exclusive to Samsung Galaxies devices.

For the post-pandemic era, where video calling from home has become extremely commonplace, Samsung has introduced video call effects. These effects let you blur the background in video calls made with apps such as Zoom, Google Duo, Microsoft Teams, and Webex, so you can hide your unkept room or avoid anyone else in your house coming into the frame. A custom image can be set as well if blurring out the background isn’t enough.

There are also minor new features littered throughout the user interface. One UI 3.1 allows the removal of location data from photos and videos before they are shared with others, and the blue light filter feature has been renamed to Eye Comfort Shield and automatically limits blue light exposure based on the time of day (a custom schedule and custom color temperature can also be set). For devices that support it, such as the Galaxy S21 Ultra, One UI 3.1 enables support for Wi-Fi 6E networks.

New Amazon Logo resembled Hitler Nazi Moushtache?

While surfing my phone, saw a little change. Pondered,  Did Amazon change its logo recently in five years? They say, it resembles German dictator Adolf Hitler's famous moushtache.

Its called, the toothbrush moustache. According to social media reports, following a backlash, Amazon was forced to alter its new logo icon design.

 It looked, similar to Amazon's signature curved arrow, but this time it was staged over a brown background. The brown color represents the packaging, AMZN uses, for delivery.

Recently, a Bombay based NGO, forced Myntra to change its logo, because according to a complaint it looked like a naked woman.
