People send more than 500 million Tweets per day. Each one contributes something special to Twitter, but only one is recognized as the “Golden Tweet,” a.k.a. the most-Retweeted Tweet of the year. This year, the honor goes to @TheEllenShow’s starry photo from the March Oscars telecast:


Lets have a look at what was trending on twitter this year globally

REVOLUTIONALIZE EDUCATION           Hi Friends, this is Suman Pandit, student of Electronics Engineering, Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, Mumbai. I have an appetite for research, innovation and entrepreneurship. In the coming days, the blog on which your sight is will feature articles ranging from sports, technology, music, art, social issues, etc. The topic for today is Education.           Education is one of the most important aspects of a human being’s life. It is a process which begins from the birth of a person and continues for his lifetime. Education is responsible for the growth of many nations and communities. Our Country, India has a population of over 1.2 billion (which is the 2 nd largest in the world). It has more youths of the age 18-30 than any other country in the world. But still, it is a developing country. The main reason for this is illiteracy and unemployable graduates. In India, people are qualifi...

A Solution to solve Mumbai's Vaccination Problem - an open letter to CM of Maharashtra

By -

Hope you are doing well..... The whole country is in deep COVID crisis. In Maharashtra too, the cases are rising. If we don't prevent this sooner, we will be in deep shortage of medical supplies and this can give rise to a big health emergency.  The only way in which we can prevent this is by Mass Vaccination of everyone in Mumbai and Maharashtra. Vaccination prevents infection of COVID and hospitalization in all age categories to a great extent. Countries like Israel and UK are a great example. As centre has not allowed Maharashtra to allow door to door vaccination, I have another idea of undertaking mass vaccination in Mumbai (can be expanded to all of Maharashtra too). After 1st May when vaccination will be opened for all adults, this will help reduce the burden on the current vaccination centres The idea- There are a lot of grounds and parks in every locality of Mumbai. They are now idle because of the current mini lockdown. There are many nurses and attendants too ...

How the 2024 T20 World Cup is a Boon for Bowling and Cricket as a whole

By -

T he just-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) was a batsman's paradise. Flat pitches and the 'Impact Player Rule’ led to a run-fest. But fast forward a month, and the narrative has flipped dramatically in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. Here in the Caribbean islands and USA, slower pitches and a focus on bowling are offering a refreshing and, I believe, ultimately positive, change for the sport.  Look at the numbers: Afghanistan's young pace phenom Fazal Farooqi leads the wicket-taking charts with a staggering 12 scalps in just 3 matches. The wily Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, already the record holder for most wickets in a single T20 World Cup edition (2021 & 2022), is weaving his magic again, controlling the middle overs with his bag of tricks. I still am in awe of New  Zealand's Lockie Ferguson gave a spectacular performance against Papua New Guinea in their final match of the T20 World Cup campaign on Monday. During his spell, Ferguson conceded zero...
