reflective essay

REFLECTIVE ESSAY 

 My portfolio shows extensive experience working with VFX, video editing, logo reveals and digital painting.  For example, I did a ten second video clip on the topic of global warming for which I came up with an original concept to experiment with a fire simulation. My freelance work also contains digital painting for clients in which I digitally painted their portraits. For another project, I chose the logo of a famous brand and created a ten second logo reveal video. In my free time I created a landscape and fantasy character for a flexible man, inspired by the character of the Captain in Fantastic 4.

  In other areas of experimentation, I downloaded a random video and created a motion tracking video. My first attempt was a failure, but I refused to give up, and finally succeeded on my fourth attempt. I created a Mother’s Day poster in which I tried to portray women’s strength and power and the love between mother and son.  

 I was also inspired by a Ramzan poster I saw on a website and created a Ramzan poster. I experimented with breaking away from the typical use of the color green for Islamic subjects by using blue for the design. 

I have also experimented extensively with 3D. I have created several objects including a wine bottle, laptops, a low poly home and shops. I also created a logo using the Tamil letter ‘m’ for a foreign client. They were very impressed with the final product as working with Tamil can be quite challenging. 

 I created a lyrical video for my song  for which I researched about how to create lyrical videos. In my own ideas while I was creating lyrical videos I was firstly confused with that because I had to merge two different ideas into one   and I tried  my best in first attempt  and felt  that lyrical  texts are to sync the song  then I made and  this video is also added for my portfolio.  

 When I began my research for component 1, I took VFX  for my research topic. It was a fantastic opportunity to broaden my learning. I focused on the South Indian cinema and advertising sector, as well as on a little bit of Hollywood. I learnt how the VFX industry grew, and gained an understanding of where it is headed in the future.  

 To study the evolution of the VFX industry, I studied two cinematic eras, and then compared them. The rapid growth of the industry is impressive, and suggests that it will one day come to dominate the way we make films in the future.  

 For my showreel,  I wanted to create real time action to which I could apply my VFX work.  Although this was challenging, I really put my heart into it in order to create something that can be a real show-piece to propel me in my career. The line I chose as my starting point and inspiration was ‘The boy has unnatural powers’. 

I wrote a story of three scenes based on this in which the boy enters a room. There is a rope hanging over a box in the corner. He takes the rope and begins to twist it. The rope catches fire and begins to burn, opening a portal through which we see a sky and forest. The boy enters this portal, and finally sees a waterfall before him.  I faced a number of challenges developing this scene, working with light, rotoscoping, and with my choice of colors. Eventually I had to ignore a few elements in order to complete the work within the short time limit.  

 As part of my second year work, I also worked on my resume. My instructor suggested that I change a few elements to make it more eye-catching, as well as simpler in design. After that I reworked my resume as he suggested from scratch by listing all the experience I have as a motion graphics artist, beginning with my work on a Tamil movie. I was initially a little confused about what to mention in my experience, but after a few sessions, I was much clearer on how to analyze my past work experience and how to list it chronologically.  I was finally able to complete two versions of the resume as well as a cover letter in which I was able to talk about my roles on various free-lancing jobs as well as my coursework. My first resume was points form  resume other one was with little bit description about my experience  for example I  would work as a motion graphics artist and I talk about which kind of work I did and what kind of issue and trouble I faced

Towards the end of the second semester, I had my stage 1 interview session with a person from the  industry. It was an amazing learning experience on how to attend an interview and to respond confidently, as well as dress presentably. They asked me three main questions. They asked me why I chose this field as a career. I spent a long time answering this question. The interviewer was very impressed with my portfolio, especially the piece on global warming. She finally asked me how I felt I could contribute to their company, and I enjoyed answering this question in some detail. At the end of it, I felt my confidence really grow, and feel much more prepared to face an interviewer in the future. 

 Towards the end of this program I had a lot of problems and issues with my pc, which seriously impacted my ability to complete work before the deadline. I also had power supply issues, and unfortunately missed an important feedback session. All of this was hard to resolve due to the lockdown and pandemic issue. However, I was able to find a supplier who was able to fix my PC, and I managed to get back on track to finish my pending work and incorporate feedback on various projects.  

  Summary of entire studies 

This module has helped me to promote myself and my talent as a VFX artist, shown me how to work on a resume, as well as how to present myself in personal statements and letters by researching the goals and values of the company I am interested in and showing that I value their work, and want to be a part of it. This experience gives me a lesson learnt that I have to put into my company and I hope that will work perfectly and in future I will make my company to be famous and put my best efforts in my field.

The Vyapam Scam - What Was Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss Doing?

Madhya Pradesh. This central Indian state is currently under the rule of the BJP under three time CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan and heading for a fourth consecutive win with the house of the opposition party Congress divided into warring factions.

Shivraj Chouhan of the BJP became CM of Madhya Pradesh on 11/29/2005 while the Congress was in power at the center.

But what plagues this state? The massive Vyapam scam that is roughly estimated to be INR 65 billion or $1 billion (conservative). Now what is the Vyapam scam? It’s a scam involving admissions into medical colleges.

Vyapam (Vyavsayik Pariksha Mandal) or Professional Examination Board is an autonomous body in the state which conducts exams to enter professional courses such as medicine and engineering and also get MP government jobs. There were scams in all professional courses/degrees, but in the case of medicine, it was exceptional as each seat was literally auctioned for INR 1 to 7 million! This will be covered soon.

Unlike us in Tamil Nadu, who (till traitor OPS and his criminal gang sold out our interests late last year) write our board exams alone to get admissions to top medical institutes like Stanley’s / MMC, in other states, they need to write an entrance exam. India wide, medical seats are coveted and so the cost for each seat goes into millions. Even in our case, getting a medical seat without an entrance exam in Ramachandra’s Medical College or SRM would cost us minimum 5 to 6 million. In other parts of India, it’s much more valuable. 

What were the highlights of the Vyapam scam? 1 A middleman arranged for bright students to impersonate applicants during exams while invigilators looked the other way. Invigilators were bribed to allow applicants to cheat by copying impersonators. In such cases, applicants apparently left their answer sheets blank to be filled up later based on the marks they were given. 2 Question papers were leaked before exams so students could prepare the answers in advance. 3 OMR sheets were left blank to be filled in later based on the marks given to applicants. 4 Final results and medical seats were influenced by money power. Each medical seat was auctioned from INR 1 million to 7 million. 5 In other words, truly meritorious students were short-charged and had to pursue other courses. In some extreme cases, it led to suicides.

Irregularities in medical test results were detected in 2009 and hundreds of arrests were made in 2011 after an investigation. It was only in 2013 that the gravity of the scam came to light, with information about the involvement of different officials at different hierarchical levels in the government.

DMAT scam: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhopal/Dental-and-Medical-Admission-Test-Scamsters-operated-in-cyber-cafes-colleges/articleshow/23920256.cms Dental & Medical Admission Test scam. DMAT is an exam in MP written for admission to private medical colleges in MP. Massive money power came into play. Applicants, based on money, were given the DMAT scores they paid for and were instructed to leave their OMR sheets blank to be filled up later. The middlemen were medical college owners who wanted to sell their medical seats to kids of rich parents. They mediated between the parents and the officials who conducted DMAT. MBBS seats were sold in the range of INR 5 to 10 million.

MP PMT scam: 1 http://www.hindustantimes.com/bhopal/mp-pmt-scam-racketeers-targeted-quota-candidates/story-4H7QHa4n8xbSgY9Kc5ClJJ.html 2 http://www.news18.com/videos/india/mp-scam-splits-mp-students-arrested-phoner-696333.html 3 http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/100-fake-doctors-MP-hit-by-Munnabhai-scam/articleshow/11285266.cms This was yet another scam wherein impersonators, usually bright students from UP & Bihar, were paid around 50k to 100k to write exams for applicants, once again rich kids. At least 6 private medical colleges were involved in this scam. Plenty of arrests were made in 2013 regarding this issue.

This scam started way back in the 1990s itself, but became chronic after BJP took over in 2005. This puts the reliability of MP’s hospitals and its doctors in the dumps. There were irregularities in the MP PMT (Madhya Pradesh Pre Medical Tests) in the years 2008, 2009 and 2011 as far as we know.

Till date, there have been at least 48 known deaths of people who went to investigate the matter. 

Now on to the next part of my titular question.

Who was the health minister during UPA 1 from 2004 to 2009 around the same time BJP took over MP? It was none other than PMK’s Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss.

Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss has a case in CBI pending against him. 1 http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/Anbumani-illegally-allowed-admission-in-medical-college-CBI/article12138428.ece 2 http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/cbi-chargesheets-anbumani-for-abuse-of-office/article3360845.ece

This is for illicit admissions to 2 colleges: One in Uttar Pradesh (Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital in Bareilly) and the other in Madhya Pradesh. The IMCHRC (Index Medical College, Hospital & Research Center at Bhopal, MP) was founded by Suresh Singh Bhadoriya in 2006. This college didn’t have enough infrastructure, facilities nor eligible faculty to be even deemed an eligible medical college. The MCI (Medical Council of India) had warned Dr. Anbumani against giving clearance to IMCHRC. Even after MCI inspectors said admissions may not be permitted due to its deficiencies, Bhadoriya and Anbumani formed a central team to obtain a favorable report and issue permission to renew admissions for the 2008-09 batch. https://www.pressreader.com/oman/oman-daily-observer/20150820/281895886984543

The other prominent people in CBI’s charge-sheet are: 1 K. V. Rao, a director in the Cabinet Secretariat 2 Sudarshan Kumar, section officer in the Health and Family Welfare Ministry 3 Dr. J. S. Dhupia and Dr. D. K. Gupta, two senior faculty members at Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital 4 S.K. Tongia, ex-Dean of IMCHRC, K.K. Saxena, Medical Director of IMCHRC, Nitin Gothwal, HR manager, Pawan Bhambani, director of administration, medical director Dr. K.V. Saxena and some other people under various provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

What are the charges against Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss regarding this matter? A sitting MP, Ramadoss has been accused of criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery, using forged documents as genuine under the Indian Penal Code and under the Prevention of Corruption Act. http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/ramadoss-to-be-charged-with-corruption-in-medical-college-admissions/142887.html 

Here’s something very interesting: http://www.advocatekhoj.com/library/judgments/announcement.php?WID=3880 If you love reading meticulous articles, I suggest reading the above! 

These dysfunctional money grabbing dungeons were given clearance by Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss who also aided admissions to the same! Imagine the plight of future patients who might have to be treated by these fraud MBBS ‘doctors’!

So it’s becoming increasingly clear that Ramadoss knew what was brewing in Madhya Pradesh under Shivraj Singh Chouhan. My question is: Why was he silent over the matter (and still is)? Is this the action of a responsible doctor? The same way, he never opposed NEET despite its blatant discrepancies. In fact, the only party in TN to oppose NEET is DMK. Everybody else has yielded with no resistance.

Here is some circumstantial evidence regarding irregularities in the PMT exam (Pre Medical Tests, which have been around since the late 1990s/early 2000s) in India over the years. http://www.universityworldnews.com/article.php?story=20140828171239580 If you read the article, the highlight lies here: “Hundreds of students have been suspended in recent months for allegedly using “unfair means” to clear the Pre Medical Test, or PMT, conducted between 2006 and 2013 and secure admission to undergraduate medical courses.” Who was the health minister during UPA 1? Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss. Who was the health minister during UPA 2? Ghulam Nabi Azad. If, and IF, the above allegation is true, both should be investigated over irregularities in PMT over the years.

Now the question essentially becomes this: Are RMC in UP and IMCHRC in MP the only colleges Anbumani was involved in, or are there more colleges in India affected by Anbumani’s lapses? Only a thorough investigation can bring further matters to light.

That for Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss.

Now on to the final and the most crucial part of it all - my warning to DMK regarding this man.

This is something I discussed within closed circles, but it seems the time to release this for public reading has come.

We’re all witness to the serial murders around late JJ’s Kodanad Estate and the death of MLA Vijayabhaskar’s friend. It eerily resembled the Vyapam murders. Of course, for the well informed, it’s the handiwork of BJP. However what has Anbumani got to do with this?

CBI halted the investigation against Anbumani earlier this year. Around the same time, political circles in Tamil Nadu are well aware of the fact that Modi/BJP paid PMK a sum of INR 20 billion to attack DMK and keep public attention off BJP’s failures and deceit. 

Sounds plausible? In a way yes, that was how Vaiko played JJ’s B-team in the name of People’s Welfare Front. But what’s the difference in the case of PMK playing BJP’s/Modi’s B-team? 

Dear DMK friends, remember Rajiv Gandhi? Most of us know the REAL man behind his assassination. However DMK had to bear the blame for the crime of LTTE which was funded by MGR & LTTE sympathizers in the USA and aided logistically by Subramanian Swamy. More on that episode here: http://www.noolaham.org/wiki/index.php/Lanka_Guardian_1991.10.15 Read pages 2 to 6 to know more of it.

Any response to PMK by DMK would most possibly be used by BJP to ensnare DMK. Just like Subramanian Swamy and Natarajan setup the LTTE & Rajiv Gandhi to ensnare DMK, Modi & Amit Shah are setting up Anbumani Ramadoss. In other words, Modi & Shah are most probably attempting a Subramanian Swamy / Rajiv Gandhi Mark-II on DMK. This is something Modi & Shah are highly capable of carrying out. I am personally happy that MK Stalin & DMK are keeping their distance from PMK. DMK should maintain this and ignore PMK till the end. Given the power BJP has over the media, it’s best never to fall into this BJP trap. Ignore PMK and engage the common public over the pressing issues they face in everyday life due to the inefficiency of the ADMK administration and the insanity of the central Modi administration.

I’m NOT alleging BJP are doing this yet, but I believe they are highly capable of it, given their greed for power. 

With that, I conclude this post. More details will be added as and when I get them.

Thank you all for reading. Have a great day.

via Today Bharat nbsp; The actor, whose lsquo;Valmikirsquo; is releasing this Friday, talked to TNM about reprising Bobby Simharsquo;s role, breaking stereotypes, his love for sports dramas and more. nbsp; Itrsquo;s been a season of remakes for Telugu cinema. From Allu Sirishrsquo;s ABCD, a remake of the Malayalam movie by the same title, to the roaring success of Samantharsquo;s Oh! Baby (remake of a Korean movie), actors and directors seem to be on a spree of adapting successful movies from industries around the world. Joining the bandwagon is actor Varun Tej and director Harish Shankar whose Valmiki, a remake of the critically acclaimed Tamil movie Jigarthanda, will be hitting the screens on September 20. Varun Tej is excited to be reprising Bobby Simharsquo;s role in the movie, the latter even winning a National Film Award for his portrayal of local goon lsquo;Assault Sethursquo;. Though Varun Tej bears no physical resemblance to the rugged appearance of Bobby Simha in Jigarthanda, it is a definitely a break for the actor who has so far been playing boy-next-door roles. TNM caught up with Varun Tej who is actively engaged in promotions for Valmiki. In a candid chat, the actor talks about what made him choose to play the character of Gaddalakonda Ganesh, his successes and failures in the industry, his love for sports drama and much more. Bobby Simha was a comparative newcomer in Jigarthanda so he came with no baggage of having to meet the audiencesrsquo; expectations. But in Telugu, you have already established yourself as a star, plus this being a remake would bring up comparisons. Considering these factors, what made you choose to play a local goon? I watched Jigarthanda almost four years back and never did I think that the movie would be remade in Telugu. Honestly, in Telugu there is only a small section of people who have watched the movie. Wersquo;re not remaking a film and marketing it to an audience who have already watched it. For example, people who watched Dabbang also liked Gabbar Singh (also a Harish Shankar directorial). And that is what Harish Shankar is good at. In fact, a few scenes from Dabbang 2 were brought from Harishrsquo;s Telugu version. Jigarthanda was a sleeper hit. A year later, it was also dubbed into Telugu. Still, its reach in the Telugu states was quite limited. Considering the difference in language and landscape, we have made necessary changes to the movie in Telugu. Harish has been particular about giving more meaning and definition to the film. In Jigarthanda, most of the scenes are set in Madurai. But here, we had to set up a location and create an artificial village called Gaddalakonda. I have tried my maximum not to do a Bobby Simha but instead bring my own mannerisms to the character. nbsp; How did you prepare for the role, to act convincingly, and with a whole lot of humour, as a person who doesnrsquo;t know the basics of acting? I keep watching a lot of action dramas, be it English, Hindi or any of the south Indian languages. But I didnrsquo;t want to latch on to a particular film or a character to prepare for the role. Having said that, I had to do my own homework for the movie, especially getting familiar with the Telangana dialect, which I had also done for F2. However, this was more difficult as I had to get the rural slang correct compared to F2 which had more of an urbanised dialect. We have chopped off some of the comic sequences to reduce the run-time because we have also added a flashback for Ganeshrsquo;s character. It was tough enacting a lot of scenes where I had to act dumb and pretend to be expressionless, but it was also equally challenging. Rather than playing something easy, there was a professional satisfaction in playing Ganesh. Somehow this was a role I have been wanting to play for a long time and I am quite happy about it. There is the flashback you mentioned where Pooja Hegde appears in a cameo and this is an addition. Why do you think a flashback was necessary for Ganeshrsquo;s character? There is a small flashback in Tamil too where Vijay Sethupathi plays a cameo. Like you said before, in Tamil Bobby Simha came with no baggage. But here people have seen me playing the good boy for a long time. And Harish thought it was necessary to let the audience know the circumstances which had turned Ganesh into a goon. No person is born evil, itrsquo;s situations that turn people into good or bad. The flashback is not for the sake of entertainment or to push in a heroine or to add a song but to tell audiences why Ganesh is the brutal person we see today. nbsp; Tell us about your association with director Harish Shankar. I chose to work with Harish not because of the hit remakes he has delivered but purely because of his capability as a director. Despite having a number of hit films to his credit, he still works like a debutant on film sets. That zeal in him as a director has still not died down. He is very spontaneous ndash; he doesnrsquo;t always believe in sticking to the script and comes up with one-liners in a flash. And they work quite well too. If given a chance, I would like to work with him again and again. Telugu cinema has been seeing a lot of remakes in the past one year, many of which have tanked at the box-office. What do you think is special about Valmiki? One thing I liked about Jigarthanda is that in Telugu wersquo;re so used to watching heroes who are too idealistic and have their own set of problems. We have rarely tried to see things from the perspective of a bad guy or someone the society thinks is evil. Jigarthanda flips the idea of a hero. It tries to see emotion, humour and anger through the eyes of a goon. And that I think is something that the Telugu audience is not used to, in an industry where heroes are always the idealistic good men. Unlike a movie like Rakshasudu (remake of the Tamil movie Ratsasan), which is faithful to the original, we have made changes to Jigarthanda only to suit the sensibilities of the audiences here. Is Valmiki a deliberate attempt to break your lover boy image? I think I have reached that stage where I can now understand what role fits me and what doesnrsquo;t. There were a couple of films I rejected, suggested a different hero to the director which went on to become super hits. I didnrsquo;t want to do another Tholi Prema or Fidaa. Valmiki wasnrsquo;t a deliberate attempt because I always wanted to do a character with grey shades. Why are heroes always such nice people? Telugu heroes are stereotyped and I think they are setting wrong examples (laughs). But we need to depict things more realistically because the world is such. Again, I was in search of the right story. And I thought Valmiki was something I could pull off. Your films in the past 2-3 years have been a mixed bag. How have you been dealing with your failures and successes? Antariksham was quite an ambitious project. But we didnrsquo;t have enough budget to get the CGI right. We had to make compromises and some parts had to be cut because the CGI wasnrsquo;t good. Having said that, there is always more to learn from failures. Because a filmrsquo;s success is not just yours but of hundreds of people who work to give it a proper form. There is a lot of hero worship in the south, especially in the Telugu states. So when success comes your way, you can be happy about it but not have your head high. Failures give you ample chances to retrospect. And for the same reason, I have kept the space suit I wore in Antarikshamin in the lobby of my office. It is a good party prop (laughs) but also reminds me of that one mistake I should never be doing again in my movies. nbsp; There have been certain controversies regarding the title of the movie. What exactly does Valmiki signify here? Valmiki, according to mythology, was a hunter who turned a sage. When I asked Harish about the title, he said itrsquo;s the best example of a change that can happen to a person, which is also what happens to the character of Bobby Simha in Jigarthanda. Valmiki is the best example of human transformation from bad to good. In Telugu, there are a lot of films whose titles have absolutely no connection to the story. Personally, even I have acted in a few (laughs). Is there a particular role you would like to do next in Telugu? I am doing a sports drama next. I see there is a vacuum in the industry when it comes to sports-oriented movies. I think cinema and sports are the biggest forms of entertainment in India. But we have very few sports-based films in Telugu. There have been a few but not as many as we see in Bollywood or even Tamil. The filmrsquo;s script is almost in a good shape and we have tried keeping it as realistic as possible. I trained for the sport when Harish was writing the script for Valmiki. I donrsquo;t know how long the shooting is going to take, but we want to make it right and real. nbsp; nbsp;

Hi there🙋,

The first ever topic I chose to blog about is a “Drug”. If you are a TV📺 shows freak, you must be familiar with “Heisenberg” and his student. Yes, I am talking about “Breaking Bad”. Heisenberg is the name created by Walter White (lead actor) in the drug💉💊 world. He is a middle-class man who works at the school🏛 as a chemistry teacher. One of his previous students👦 turned into a drug smuggler😈 in the town. Heisenberg, meanwhile came to know that he has lung cancer through his family doctor💉 and the doctor suggested him go through surgery✂ which costs them arm and legs💸💸. Then he decided to make money💲 by any means, at the very same time his friend Mr. Hank👮 who works at city drug control office told him about the income that local drug lords make. That inspires him to make illegal drug “Meth”, not only for him but also for his family👨‍👨‍👦‍👦 welfare. That’s how he and his student make and sell the “Meth” all over the city.

Now, let’s talk about Zombies👹, wait, this blog should discuss drugs, right? Yes, but there is a connection between a specific drug and Zombies.

Before discussing the drugs that induce Zombie characteristics, let’s talk something about a south Indian🇮🇳 movie called “Iru Mugan”, a native Tamil movie. The story is about a drug named “speed”. This drug makes a person who inhales it to become a super energized💪 human being for five minutes before falling unconscious😵.

Analogues to the “Speed” (fictional drug), there is one drug in the real world which make humans to lose control and behave like Zombies. Yes, you read it correctly “a drug that induces Zombie behavioral outcomes in humans”. That drug is “FLAKKA.

According to Whitehouse🇺🇸 National Drug Control Organization, this drug originated in Indian🇮🇳 subcontinent and China🇹🇷. (Now that’s interesting, isn’t it? A drug shaking world is form Asia). But, United States of America is the one country which affected the most, to be accurate, Florida State was abused for this Drug from 2013.

In August 2106, a 19-year-old Florida State university student, name Austin Harrouf, stabbed🔪 a married👫 couple to death in Florida home. Do you think he only stabbed them to death and nothing else? You are wrong he tried to eat😷 male victim’s face (yak). He behaved like a cruel animal👹 when police👮 tried to subdue him during the attack. His behavioral changes attributed to consumption of flakka.

The innocent guy in the picture is who you are reading about, Austin Harrouff

    Okay, What is this Flakka? How it is made? Chemical Formula? and How it works?

This drug belongs to Cathinone Drug family, famously known as Bath-Salt. Alpha-phyrolidinovalerophenon(α-pvp),  the Scientific name of Flakka. It is chemically similar to MDPV (Methylenedioxypyrovalerone) and the chemical formula is C15H21NO. It is a very addictive substance which produces euphoric symptoms in people who can not afford expensive drugs.

Cathinone Chemical Formula

Alpha-PVP physical form

Flakka chemicla formula

Cathinones have been found to induce the release of dopamine❤ and inhibit the reuptake of epinephrine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the central nervous system. Since cathinones are hydrophobic 💦molecules, they can easily cross cell membranes and the blood-brain barrier, allowing them to heavily interact with the monoamine transporters in the synaptic cleft between neurons. This α-pvp also is known to provoke a condition called agitated delirium, when there is an excessive influx of sympathetic activation. This condition causes alterations in the mental status and can include bizarre👹 behaviors, anxiety, agitation, violent 😈outbursts, confusion🤔, myoclonus and rare cases of seizures. Clinical symptoms of agitated delirium involve tachycardia, hypertension, hyperthermia, diaphoresis, and mydriasis. In general sense, this drug induces visual🙄 and hearing🙉 hallucinations to which drug victim reacts.

Recently a youtube▶ video has gone viral, in which a young girl👧 behaves like a zombie👻. The video shot in Brazil🇧🇷 in the midst of 1st October of this year.  Click▶ here to watch the video. The Brazilian Police👮 claimes that she consumed flakka and gone mad jumped into other’s cars🚗🚘 and trucks🚚🚛.

As we discussed earlier, this drug has fatal side-effects apart from internal organ failure. (According to Rollingstone news magazine and other medical portals Flakka can damage our kidneys and neuro system). The government of United States of America and the government of India has taken actions to eradicate this drug. Both governments set up rehabilitation centers in major cities for the victims of the drug.

The US government banned making and selling the flakka all over the country early in 2014, but making this drug is much easier and cheaper; reports from US news 🗞magazines📰 stated that flakka can be bought for as cheap as $5 per dose. This led to the growth of the flakka all over the country.

This is not the first time😫 in the history that people suffered from drug abuse. It started as early as the 1600s. It only got worse day by day as technology improved. As we all know, people get addicted to drugs only when they can not interact with real-world🌍 entities or when they get rejected from the society which will lead to serious depression problems.

  The only way we can help them is, with love and peace.

The 20 Greatest Magazine Stories ever!! Plan to read them all this weekend.

Click the link above to read them all

‘Frank Sinatra Has a Cold’ By Gay Talese April 1966, Esquire

This 15,000-word masterpiece ushered in ‘New Journalism’, and is considered one of the best profiles ever written. The fact that Sinatra refused to talk to Talese—every time he called, Sinatra’s minders said he had a cold—was probably the best thing that could have happened. To write it, Talese spoke to “at least a 100 people”, and used tips from them and stories he’d heard.

‘Come What May’ By Arun Shourie & Shekhar Gupta March 1983, India Today

THE first full-length story on the Nellie massacre, in which over 2,000 Muslims were killed during the Assam elections, Come What May came after a dribble of reports, and chronicled the entire tragedy in gory detail. It unravelled the attempts of the powers-that-be to bury the story and showed the negligence of the government. Arun Shourie and Shekhar Gupta reported on the carnage and made the news mainstream.

‘Consider the Lobster’ By David Foster Wallace August 2004, Gourmet

It was to be a fun assignment, to cover the annual Maine Lobster Festival for Gourmet. But David Foster Wallace did it the way only he knows.
