(1) What does the Hindi word “bhosdike” mean? - Quora

(1) What does the Hindi word “bhosdike” mean? - Quora: Raman Kaul Answered Mar 6, 2019 What does the Hindi word “bhosdike” mean? This is a common sexual cuss word in Hindi and Urdu, equivalent to calling a person “a cunt” (literally - of a cunt), therefore be careful with its usage. These are actually two words. Bhosdi is a slang word for vagina. Bhosdi ka means “of the vagina” or “born from the vagina”. Bhosdi ke is the vocative (addressing someone) form of the phrase, i.e., when you address some male whom you want to call bhosdi ka, you say “bhosdi ke!” If you wanted to use this phrase to address a woman, you would say “bhosdi ki!”. It is however not very clear why this should be a cuss word, because we all come from the vagina and are bhosdi ke. Somehow the patriarchal society has made all cuss words such as to insult women indirectly, even when they are insulting a man. The phrase “Bose DK” is sometimes used as a funny modern euphemism for this cuss word. Bose is a common surname in Bengali, and someone with that surname and initials DK (for example Deepak Kumar) could be called Bose DK. A Bollywood movie “Delhi Belly” gave popular exposure to this euphemism.

the Next big thing in journalism

Journalism has seen a sea change because of technological adoptions over time

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of journalism, often dubbed as a race with the machine, is getting eventually apparent. Recently, certain international news media organizations have tapped the power of AI to cover and report on the recent blast at a mosque in Kandahar city of Afghanistan that killed 37 people. AI tools are used to measure and report that the nation is grappling with insecurity and unrest. These news media organizations have been actively engaged in automating tasks essential for journalistic production. AI has come in handy to detect, extract and verify data essential for news stories and graphics. Such tools are being used for sorting, selecting and prioritizing the filters in the journalistic process of news stories. The use of AI is comparatively new. Its efficacy in reporting and disseminating conflicting news stories is established. It has the ability to build and update data visualizations in real time. The tools can be beneficial for the reporters in conflict zones in which the machine makes easy to source through footage from war zones. Human rights activists have started resorting to source the footage required for documenting human rights violations. Hence, AI tools are intensifying the level of activism in real time. During the time of the pandemic, AI tools provided potential aids for journalists in disseminating useful information to the citizens. When thousands of journalists were infected with the virus, the importance of AI tools in gathering, sorting, verifying and disseminating information went up substantially. AI tools are systematically programmed to identify fake news, helping journalists file correct and unbiased news stories. It can also debunk fake news flooded in social media platforms. AI thus protects the spirit of news values and ethical responsibility of journalists. The field of journalism has witnessed sea changes because of technological adoptions from time to time. All these raise the pros and cons of using AI tools in journalism. Augmenting reporting has become a major area of journalism. AI in journalism has brought numerous benefits. These tools have comparatively made easy for investigative journalists to save time and money. This has further strengthened the process and format of storytelling. Automation has facilitated reporting from local to international stories. Data journalism is transforming to the next level. AI robots are turning into news reporters. All these are becoming viable because of algorithms, databases and machine learning. There are fair chances for errors and biases to creep into the newsrooms. A small or a hyper-local media organization which might not be equipped with minimum resources to adopt AI tools may see newspersons falling prey to the machines. Journalists need to be trained and transformed for the best utilization of technologies.The fear of machine replacing the human is still there. However, any technology including AI is not going to replace journalists; however, this new technology can be a friendly assistant or a buddy. With the advent of new technological tools, all from reporters to editors will be re-oriented to deliver more credible and value-added contents to their target audience. Moreover, the issue of digital divide in newsrooms is there across the globe. Newsrooms in western countries are better positioned than the rest of the world in exploiting the AI tools in storytelling. The emergence of innovation and adoption of newer technologies in any profession has become obligatory. The profession of journalism is no exception to it. The production, distribution and consumption of news will be considerably driven by AI tools in the days to come. Digital literacy is the need of the hour on the part of the journalists across the competitive globe.

Angel Merkel

ఇలాంటి లీడర్ గురించి ముందెన్నడూ విని ఉండరు !

………………………………………………….

Great personality……………………………. ఏంజెలా మెర్కల్ గత 18 సంవత్సరాలుగా 8 కోట్ల జనాభా గల జర్మనీ దేశానికి చాన్సలర్ (అధ్యక్షురాలు) గా అత్యంత ప్రతిభావంతంగా పనిచేసి పదవీ విరమణ పొందారు.ఆమె పదవీ విరమణ వేళ దేశ ప్రజలందరూ ఒక్కటిగా కనీ,వినీ ఎరుగని రీతిలో వీధుల్లో, బాల్కనీల్లో, కిటికీల్లో నిలబడి ఆరు నిమిషాల పాటు అవిరామంగా చప్పట్లతో, హృదయపూర్వకంగా వీడ్కోలు పలకడం విశేషం.

ఇది ఆమె అద్భుత నాయకత్వానికి, ప్రతిభా పాఠవాలకు .. మానవతా దృక్పథానికి నిదర్శనం.18 సంవత్సరాల క్రితం జర్మనీ దేశ ప్రజలు ఏంజెల్ మెర్కెల్ ను ఛాన్సలర్ గా ఎన్నుకొన్నారు. ఆమె తన ప్రతిభా పాఠవాలు, అకుంఠిత దీక్షతో , నిమగ్నత తో ప్రజల నమ్మకాన్నినిలబెట్టారు. దేశ ఖ్యాతిని ఇనుమడింపు చేశారు. ఆర్థిక వ్యవస్థను మరింత బలపర్చారు. ప్రపంచ మహిళ గా పేరు పొందారు.

తన గుర్తింపు కోసం ఆమె ఏనాడు తాపత్రయ పడలేదు. కనీసం 18 సంవత్సరాల కాలంలో ఆమె ఒక్క సారి కూడా తన ఫోటోను ప్రభుత్వ పథకాల ప్రచారానికి కానీ, మరే ఇతర విశిష్టమైన ప్రచారాలకు గాని ఉపయోగించలేదు. తన పదవీ కాలంలో ఆమెపై ఎలాంటి అధికార దుర్వినియోగం, అవినీతి ఆరోపణలు లేవు. తన బంధువులు ఎవరిని ప్రభుత్వ ఉద్యోగాల్లో నియమించ లేదు. లక్షల్లో జీతాలు తీసుకోలేదు. వందిమాగదుల తో తన గొప్పతనాన్ని పొగిడించుకోలేదు. తన పాలనలో ప్రజల నుండి ఎలాంటి నిరసనలు, డిమాండ్లు ఎదుర్కోలేదు. ఎలాంటి వివాదాలకు తావు ఇవ్వకుండా ప్రజాహితం గా దేశ ప్రజల అభ్యుదయం కోసం అహర్నిశలు నిష్టతో పని చేశారు.

తన కోసం ఎలాంటి ఆస్తిపాస్తులు ఏర్పరచుకోలేదు. కార్లు , స్థలాలు, విమానాలు కొనలేదు. ఫ్యాషన్, గ్లామర్ ప్రపంచం పై ఏనాడు ఆమె ఆసక్తి చూపలేదు. ఒక సాధారణ అపార్ట్మెంట్ లో అదీ ఆమె ఛాన్సలర్ గా ఎన్నిక కావడానికి ముందు ఉంటున్న అపార్ట్మెంట్ లోనే ఎన్నికైన తర్వాత కూడా సాధారణ ప్రజల మాదిరిగానే నివసించారు. అది ఆమె గొప్పతనం.గత 18 సంవత్సరాల కాలంలో ఆమె వేషధారణ లో ఎలాంటి మార్పు లేదు రోజుకు రెండు మూడు డ్రస్సులు మార్చలేదు. పదవీ విరమణ సందర్భంగా పత్రికా విలేకరులు అడిగిన ప్రశ్నలకు ఆమె చెప్పిన జవాబులు అందరినీ నివ్వెరపరిచాయి.

ఒక విలేకరి ” మీరు ప్రతిరోజూ ఒకే రకమైన డ్రెస్ వేస్తారు మీకు మరొక డ్రస్సు లేదా ” అన్న ప్రశ్నకు ” నేను ఒక ప్రభుత్వ ఉద్యోగిని మోడల్ ని కాదు” అంటూ సమాధానమిచ్చారు. “మీ ఇంట్లో ఇంటి పని, వంట పని ఎవరు చేస్తారు” అని మరొక విలేకరి ప్రశ్నించగా “తన ఇంట్లో పని మనుషులు ఎవరూ లేరని, తాను తన భర్త ఇద్దరూ కలిసి ఇంటి పనీ,వంట పనీ చేసుకుంటామని, రాత్రిళ్ళు ఇరుగుపొరుగు వారికి ఇబ్బంది లేకుండా తమ బట్టలను తామే వాషింగ్ మిషన్లో వేసుకొని ఉతుక్కుంటాం” అని సమాధానమిస్తూ.. ఆమె విలేకరులకు ఎదురుప్రశ్న వేసారు.

“మీ నుండి ఇలాంటి ప్రశ్నలు నాకు వస్తాయని నేను అనుకోలేదు.నా పదవీకాలంలో ప్రభుత్వ పనితనం, సక్సెస్, ఫెయిల్యూర్ వంటి అంశాల గురించి మీరు నన్నుఅడుగుతారు” అని నేను భావించాను అనడంతో అక్కడ ఉన్న విలేకరులు అవాక్కయ్యారు.ఇలాంటి అసాధారణ వ్యక్తిత్వం ఉన్న నాయకులు మనకు చాలా అరుదుగా కనిపిస్తారు.

The Hilarious Story Behind IAS Officer's Pic With Husband

The Hilarious Story Behind IAS Officer's Pic With Husband:

The Hilarious Story Behind IAS Officer's Pic With Husband

In 2016, IAS Chandni Chandran's pic with boyfriend appeared in a newspaper.

The year was 2016. Chandni Chandran, an IAS officer today, was then only one of the thousands of aspirants who had appeared for the Civil Service Exam 2015 and were awaiting their result. To beat the stress around the time results were expected, Ms Chandran decided to take a walk with then-boyfriend, now-husband Arun Sudarsan . What followed is a hilarious story that anyone who has ever sneaked out with a boyfriend will find quite relatable. Ms Chandran took to Twitter on Tuesday to reveal the story.

"May 10, 2016. Results of Civil Service Exam 2015 was expected to be out and I was roaming with @mrarunsudarsan to not stress over it," she wrote on the microblogging platform, tagging her husband. "I didn't make it," she added.

Ms Chandran eventually cleared the UPSC exams next year and belongs to the 2017 IAS batch. She is currently posted as sub-divisional magistrate of Kanchanpur, North Tripura.

In her Twitter thread, she recalls that while she did not clear the highly-competitive exam that year, her photo did appear in a newspaper alongside pictures of UPSC toppers. "Next day newspapers were filled with pics of toppers and @timesofindia published this pic of us!" she wrote, sharing a picture that shows her walking in the rain with Mr Sudarsan. The picture, which shows the two of them sharing an umbrella, was published in a small piece about rains in the city.

"Arun called ToI and complained as we weren't married then," the IAS officer wrote. For her part, Ms Chandran took it as a sign that her photo was destined to appear in a newspaper filled with UPSC toppers. "I can happily walk towards any destination with someone holding an umbrella and looking out for me with love unbound when I take each step," she wrote.

So what happened when the picture appeared in the newspaper? In the comments section, Ms Chandran explained why they had taken issue with the photo and complained to the publication.

"Nothing illegal! Just that such pics create uncomfortable conversations at home," she wrote.

She also explained why she was reminded of the photograph recently and decided to tweet about it. "I made it and we got married," wrote Ms Chandran. She said she was recently reminiscing about the picture and her husband contacted the photographer, Rakesh Nair, who graciously sent them a copy.

"Can' thank you enough," she wrote, tagging the photographer in her tweet.

The lovely story has gone viral on the microblogging platform, clocking in nearly 7,000 'likes' and hundreds of reactions.

"Might be one of the best pics! Such a lovely story," wrote IRS Aman Preet.

IAS MV Rao suggested that the story deserved a movie based on it.

The photographer, Rakesh Nair, also responded to the tweet.

Take a look at some of the other reactions it has garnered:
