Watch: Nirmala Sitharaman’s valuable suggestion to battle ups and downs of life inspires internet

-

 

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, accompanied by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, recently visited Rajasthan’s Kota to attend the Yuva Shakti Samvad. There, she interacted with students preparing for engineering and medical entrance exams giving them some valuable life-related advice. A clip of the event, shared by the Finance Minister’s office on Twitter, has been going viral across social media. In the short video, Sitharaman, with her wise words, can be seen trying to uplift the confidence of a girl struggling with the ups and downs of her student life. The teenager named Apala Mishra, who recognised herself to be a medical aspirant, was finding it hard to cope with the pressure of competitive exams since she started her preparation in Kota.

The clip opens inside an auditorium with Apala speaking about how she feels demotivated while studying and preparing for her medical entrance. Sitharaman gave full attention to her before picking up the mic in order to address the students. First, she appreciated the courage that Apala showed to voice her problems in public. “I would have given you a tight hug if I would have been closer to you,” she said. According to Sitharaman, like Apala, everyone should be able to recognise them in their own lives.

As the conversation progressed, Sitharaman acknowledged that life would always be full of ups and downs and stated, “Half of the bridge is crossed at the moment you recognise them.” When the minister was sharing her thoughts, a few boy students were laughing from behind and interrupting her answer. After noticing the gesture, Sitharaman asked the boys’ group if they did not want the answers. She further forbade them to pretend like having no ups and downs in their lives. “The typical boy mentality, right?” she quipped. The audience understood the sarcasm and burst out in loud cheers.

Social media users also agreed with the thoughts of Sitharaman. In the comment section, many individuals admitted that those suggestions would be beneficial in their lives too. A user thanked the Finance Minister for motivating the future generation and said, “You are absolutely right about what you have said. I have accepted the ups and downs in my life during my teen years and in my 20s and fought them out.”

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
