Effect of COVID-19 Coronavirus Outbreak in Bengaluru India

The first positive test confirmed on 9/March/2020 at Namma Bengaluru. The government has ordered holidays for primary school children (up to 5th grade) till 31st March. The market of India is getting better as oil prices are shooting down because of this effect. But the media is scaring people more, which is creating more panic for people to buy surgical masks, not even N 95 mask. And the doctors with different background are giving random statements related to the type of mask that has to be used. If the number of outbreak goes big with respect to our population, the government probably does not have enough ICU's nor oxygen supporting machines. The government says they have bed's in open isolation room, and they are not providing proper gear for the doctors to fight this pandemic, this does not make any rational sense! When government says don't panic we obey it, but they have to provide us the proper statistics that we have to actually fight this pandemic, not just the number of beds available, which is also lower in number compared to our population. Hence, we the people should take precautionary measures and educate about the safety tips to poor people specially, who does not have any facility and depends totally on government hospitals.

Rock dependent extreme microbes that could potentially survive outside our solar system

We recently published a paper in the journal of life, MDPI publishers, which is a scopus indexed journal. Here we have used the indexing metric tool and adjusted its weight exponents mathematically, to check if extreomophiles or microbes which are rock dependent, that could potentially survive on rocky exoplanets.

Exoplanets are basically planets outside our solar system, similar work of tardigrade microbe (or extremophile) was done by our team and it is published in Life sciences in space Research journal, Elsivier publisher. As tardigrade is a water extremophile that could potentially survive on water composition exoplanets.

In order to learn more about this and to know about the names of the rocky extremophiles, read from the link below of the open access journal.

We have obtained some interesting results:

Diwali the festival of lights: Turns air to poision

The awareness created about air pollution in India is not enough to protect our atmosphere. Some people don't care about atmosphere as their children will miss out on something special in life if they don't burn crackers. The Air Quality Index shows shocking results in metropolitan cities, if we don't protect mother nature now, then slowly India will become in-habitable for human beings. We Indians are so much resilient to keep Kashmir as a part of India, we have to show similar patriotism to protect our cities. Imagine one day when Delhi or Bengaluru becomes in-habitable to  human beings, the population that has to migrate is huge. The awareness program from government is not enough to reach the entire middle class and we are not seeing a huge change like no crackers anywhere in the cities.

Solution: It is high time for the central and state governments to bring a policy to ban crackers manufacture in India, and give alternate jobs to cracker business people.

Karnataka's funny politics 2019

Bengaluru the capital city of Karnataka is the hub of political games after the general elections 2019 results.  Here the friendship government of congress and JDS parties are running the government in a most funny way imaginable. The sleepy congress old man called by the name Siddaramaiah is playing double games to get back to the power. <my question is; if he is physically incapable of being attentive in important meetings, why can't papu (i.e. Rahul Gandhi) send him home>. On the other side the weeping seedless drama queen from JDS, who is suffering to stand up for what he believes in, is the current chief minister of Karnataka. After the heavy defeat of friendship government against BJP the unsatisfied ministers from either sides of friendship government are planing to bring the government  down  any moment. In the process of this mess and in built corruption of congress history suggests no quality work is done, and the state government has not done anything to uplift the employment rate, but strongly points finger against the central government relating this issue.

This topic can point out lot of loop holes and I don't want to bore my blog readers with a huge article. So kindly leave a comment if you want more :)

Toll and fare problems with OLA / UBER cabs

Drivers from the major cab services like OLA and UBER are charging toll fare twice from the public with no reason. The app does not have an option to say the toll is included, so these drivers mercilessly charge the customers. Since the app is charging as its included and the driver is also charging, so twice, the drivers make up their own rules related to toll.

Secondly, the app shows a lot of variation on the charges  <especially when it rains>. The cab charge from electronic city to airport is twice that of the air fare from Bangalore to Delhi. This customer betrayals has to be stopped and the policy on charges should be fixed and has to be transparent. These cab services should not play with customers situation and apply more charges accordingly, if they do so the motivation behind the OLA founder goes around a deep shit!

As a customers we should appeal to the Karnataka government, to resolve this issue, and this should come under some kind of a punishable cheating act.

Short Note: Black hole image released on 10/04/2019 (EHT)

Astronomers breakthrough imaging of a black hole via Event Horizon Telescope, with a big collaboration has been successful. 

What is a basic black hole ?

A black hole is basically a huge massive dead star, surrounded by a huge accretion disk of gas and dust, which travels close to speed of light. In the black hole gravity is so large not even light (which has zero mass) can escape from it. The surface of the back hole is called event horizon (point of no return), beyond which you see a burning ring in the picture below, this is called photon sphere (basically a shadow of light), caused by bending of light around the heavy objects in space-time (or gravity being space time curvature -> which is Einstein's General Theory of Relativity).

The black hole targeted is located in a galaxy called M87, which is billions and billions of kilometer away fro us. The mass of this monster black hole is 6.5 billion times that of our sun. This photograph was taken by a network of 8 telescopes and has proved Einstein's 100 year old general theory of relativity is correct yet again!
