A sudden loss in the workplace Today, we lost a colleague, Sri Ramesh Jogin . A jolly soul, a believer, and a good-hearted man. He was part of our team, driving forklifts for coach movement and shifting work in the second shift starting at 14:00 hrs. That day, he came as usual. As part of his routine, he went to jump-start the forklift. Suddenly, it began to move. In the tension of the moment, he ran behind it to stop any mishap. But fate intervened—he was caught between a pillar and the moving forklift, suffering a severe head injury. Despite rushing him to the hospital, we could not save him. He leaves behind a wife and three sons. Though he left financial support for his family, his absence cannot be filled. A good human being is gone, and his memory will remain with us. Questions we must ask This incident raises difficult but necessary questions: Was this a safety lapse at the workplace? Was it carelessness born of routine familiarity? Was there a forklift fault , especially in j...

ನಮ್ಮ ಶಾಲಾ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಮಾತು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯವಾಗಿತ್ತು — “ಅಂಕ ಬಂದರೆ ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ಸಿಗುತ್ತದೆ” . ಅನೇಕ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳು ಪಾಠವನ್ನು ಅರ್ಥಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳದೆ ಕೇವಲ ಬೈಹಾರ್ಟ್ ಮಾಡಿ ಅಂಕಗಳನ್ನು ಗಳಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ಅಂಕಗಳೇ ಉದ್ಯೋಗದ ಬಾಗಿಲು ಎಂದು ಭಾವಿಸಿ, ಜ್ಞಾನವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಕೆಲಸಕ್ಕೆ ಸೇರುವವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರವನ್ನೇ ಅಪಾಯಕ್ಕೆ ತಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ಇಂದು ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಇನ್ನೂ ಗಂಭೀರವಾಗಿದೆ. ಅಂಕಗಳ ಬದಲು ಅಕ್ರಮ, ಲೀಕ್‌ಗಳು, ಭ್ರಷ್ಟಾಚಾರ ಉದ್ಯೋಗದ ದಾರಿ ಆಗಿವೆ. ಹಿಂಬದಿಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳೂ ಸಹ ಸುಲಭವಾಗಿ ಪಾಸ್‌ ಆಗಿ, ಜ್ಞಾನವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ವೈದ್ಯರು, ಇಂಜಿನಿಯರ್‌ಗಳು, ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳು ಆಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇದರ ಪರಿಣಾಮವನ್ನು ಸಮಾಜವೇ ಅನುಭವಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಕಾರಣಗಳ ಸರಪಳಿ 📖 ಬೈಹಾರ್ಟ್ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿ → ಜ್ಞಾನವಿಲ್ಲದ ಪದವೀಧರರು. 🏢 ಉದ್ಯೋಗದ ಕೊರತೆ → ನಿರಾಶೆಯಿಂದ ಅಕ್ರಮದ ದಾರಿ. 💸 ಪೇಪರ್ ಲೀಕ್ ಮತ್ತು ಭ್ರಷ್ಟಾಚಾರ → ಅರ್ಹತೆ ಇಲ್ಲದವರಿಗೂ ಅವಕಾಶ. ⚠️ ಸಮಾಜದ ಅಪಾಯ → ಅಸಮರ್ಥ ವೈದ್ಯರು, ಇಂಜಿನಿಯರ್‌ಗಳು, ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳು. ಇತ್ತೀಚಿನ NEET ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾಗವಹಿಸಿದ ಯುವತಿ ಹೇಳಿದ ಕಥೆ ಹೃದಯ ಕಲುಕುವಂತಿತ್ತು: ಅವಳ ತಂದೆಗೆ ಹೃದಯ ನೋವು ಬಂದಾಗ, ತರಬೇತಿ ವೈದ್ಯರು ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಪರೀಕ್ಷಿಸದೇ “ಹೃದಯಾಘಾತ” ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿ, ಹಣವನ್ನು ತಕ್ಷಣ ತರಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಬೆದರಿಸಿದರು. ಕುಟುಂಬವು ಏನು ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿದೆ, ಹೇಗೆ ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯಿಸಬೇಕು ಎಂಬುದನ...

In May 2006, three friends — Shambhu, Shashidhar, and Laxmi Narayan — stepped into BIET to begin their MCA journey. For the first time, hostel life awaited us, and by luck we shared the same room. That room became the starting point of countless memories, laughter, and late‑night study sessions. The batch strength was 72, and though many faces have faded from memory over the years, those three years together shaped us in ways we still cherish. First Hostel Fears Hostel life was exciting but also intimidating. Ragging stories were everywhere, and one night I became a victim. Seniors called us to their room, asked for introductions, and then demanded I sing or dance. At first, I refused, but they were adamant. Finally, I did a few moves I had learned in my degree college (Jhalak Dikhalaja Song), and they let me go. That night taught me courage — the fear of ragging faded, and hostel life slowly became home. Life in the Hostel The hostel was more than just a place to stay — it was a world...

     For decades, antibiotics have been humanity’s frontline defense against bacterial infections. From pneumonia to urinary tract infections, these medicines have saved countless lives. But today, a troubling question arises: have antibiotics changed their nature—or have we changed the way we use them? ⚠️ The Rise of Resistance Antibiotic resistance is no longer a distant scientific term; it’s a growing public health crisis. When bacteria are repeatedly exposed to antibiotics—often through misuse or overuse—they adapt. They evolve mechanisms to survive, rendering once-powerful medicines ineffective. This means infections that were easily treatable a generation ago can now become life-threatening. 🔍 Causes Behind the Crisis Overprescription : Antibiotics given even when not necessary, such as for viral infections like colds. Incomplete Courses : Patients stopping medication midway, allowing bacteria to regroup. Agricultural Use : Excessive antibiotics in livestock feed, ...
