A flashlight with 9 million volts ???

9000000 volts!!! Scary, right? Watch the video and experience...

The Zoook Moto69 stun gun comes with a full aluminium non-slip grip body to ensure comfortable and tight grip when using it as a normal flashlight. The front of the device features intimidating double prongs on each side, enabling the stun gun to fire two simultaneous sparks loud enough to scare a bad guy by the sound alone. These dual sparks can be seen, heard and they can produce a strong electric shock that is capable enough to make any unsuspecting criminal run away. The Zoook Moto69 stun gun comes with a safety case and safety on/off switch so the stun gun is safe from getting turned on accidentally and kept deactivated from children. It has a red laser pointer at the front too. A charging cord, and a good quality nylon holster is included inside the box.

500 and 1000 Rupee notes banned, what to do now?

Taking a historical step, Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India announced on 8th Nov, 2016 that the existing 500 and 1000 Rupee notes will no longer have legal tender, thereby becoming obsolete and illegal starting from 9th Nov 2016. Remarkably, 500 and 1000 are the two largest currency (Rupee) notes available for public use in India. The old note of 500 Rs has been replaced by a newer version and there is a new note of 2000 Rs. However, there was no announcement for the replacement of the old 1000 Rupee note.

Immediate problems:

• ATMs will not work on 9th November and in some places on 10th November.
• All banks will remain closed for public work on November 9.
• In the first few days, there will be a limit of Rs. 2000 per day per card for ATM withdrawal, which would later be raised to Rs 4000.
• Be prepared to stand in queue at the ATMs and Banks when they reopen. Large number of people are expected to gather at ATMs, Banks and Post Offices to either exchange or deposit 500 or 1000 Rupee notes or withdraw other valid notes.

Steps taken by the Government to minimize the immediate issues:

• No restrictions on non-cash payments by demand drafts, cheques, credit or debit cards and electronic/online fund transfer.
• For the first three days, from 9th to 11th November, the old 500 and 100 Rupee notes will work at the following places:
  - Government hospitals
  - Railway ticket booking counters
  - Airline ticket counters at airports
  - Government buses
  - Milk booths authorised by state government
  - Consumer co-operative stores authorised state or central government
  - Crematoria and burial grounds
  - Petrol, diesel and gas stations authorised by public sector oil companies
• Exchange old notes at any bank, post office while showing your ID proof. However, there is a limit on this of up to Rs 4000 till 24th November.
• Control rooms formed in RBI in Mumbai-  022 22602201, 22602944, will be operable 8 am onwards on November 9.

What's upcoming?

• Rs 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100, whether note or coin, are all valid and the 100 Rupee note, which is the highest currency note among these is going to see a sky-high demand.
• Share market might see a downfall in the first few days until the realisation of the long term effects of the decision taken by the government.
• Large number of people will rush to banks(and maybe post offices) to either deposit or exchange their old notes to get 100 Rupee notes or the new 500 or 2000 Rupee notes in return.

What to do now?

• First of all, rely on online transactions(net banking, credit or debit card, e-wallets) as much as possible.
• Buy tickets(if you need or you're going to need them soon), petrol/diesel/gas (if you own a car or motorbike) or other products or services if you need worth Rs. 100 to 400 from the places where old notes are accepted for the first three days and give them 500 or 1000 Rupee notes to get 100 (or maybe 50 or less) Rupee notes back in change.
• Deposit your old notes at your bank or post office account. You get 50 days to do so, from 10th November to 30th December 2016. There will not be any limit on deposits.
• If you need money immediately, exchange the notes from bank or post office or withdraw the money after depositing.
• There will be a limit in withdrawals from banks and post offices- Rs 10,000 per day and Rs 20,000 per week. So, if you need to withdraw more than the limit, do not deposit all your old notes in a single bank account and make use of your other accounts at the other banks and the accounts of your family members if you need. This limit will be increased in the coming days but no date has been mentioned.
• For ATM withdrawals , there will be a limit of Rs. 2000 per day per card in the first few days, which would later be raised to Rs 4000. Here too, no date has been mentioned yet. So again, make good use of the cards of your other accounts and the cards of the accounts of your family members if you need.
• When you withdraw or exchange, you will get the old and valid 100(or less) Rupee notes and the new 500 and 2000 Rupee notes when they are available. Some sources report that the new notes will be available from as early as 10th November.
• Make sure you are not getting any old 500 or 1000 Rupee notes while withdrawing money and if you get any of those notes, bring it to the notice of the cashier of the bank or post office. If you get any discontinued notes from any ATM, you would have to complain to the respective bank and ask for exchange.
• Visit the banks that are not located in prime locations and less crowded in normal days because you will not have to face a huge crowd there as most people will not do the same.

This bold move might affect the lifestyle of the general people a bit at the beginning but the aim of the government is to make a long term effect. At first, there will be confusions among the people and some small and medium businesses can also face difficulties. Especially medium and large retail stores, marketplaces, restaurants, hotels, public transports that trade heavily in exchange of these two larger currency notes might get affected in the upcoming few days by this sudden decision. However, these problems will fade away with time as the confusions get cleared and the new notes become mainstream. The Indian government has taken countermeasures and precautions to handle this massive economical change. This is a big move against black money and this will impact tax dodging, money laundering and terrorism funding significantly.

Why I do not use facebook, messenger, whatsapp, instagram, snapchat anymore in my smartphone?

I used to be a heavy user of my smartphone. I was scoring 5-6 hours of screen-on-time at an average everyday using social and messaging apps and playing games. One day, I decided to change it.

All those notifications, various kinds of tones ringing all the time, addictive messaging apps, constantly scrolling social apps, one after another level of mobile games were eating a hell lot of my useful time! They were making me a less productive human being. Almost 2 months ago, I uninstalled all my social and messaging apps including facebook, messenger, whatsapp, instagram, snapchat, hike, imo, viber, hangouts, google plus. I have also uninstalled most of the games from my smartphone. I have only kept telegram as a replacement of sms to communicate with few of my friends and family because telegram is secure, simple and gets the job done. There are 2 games still installed that I played only once or twice in the last 2 months. I have never used prisma and never played pokemon go. :P

The choice was mine, I did everything intentionally. Nobody asked me to do anything like this, I just thought I should do it. Let me be clear about something, I am not against using a smartphone or the social and messaging apps or playing games, I am against “overusing” them! But, for an addicted person, these apps need to be uninstalled and there should be a strong will power within to not to install them again at least for a significant amount of time to get rid of the addiction. Most of these social apps are available online and can be used with a web browser from a computer and now I use facebook and messenger in this way only. That should also be limited to a short time because long sessions of the same in a computer can get a person addicted again. Here too, strong will power is much needed.

Finally, I have managed to get rid of my addiction with my smartphone screen, at least "quite a bit". Nowadays, I only have 2-3 hours of screen-on-time at an average everyday. So, after the transition period of 2 months, I can now understand how much time I was losing on my smartphone. There are some crucial features present in our phones that are directly related to some basic requirements of our modern lives that cannot be avoided. So, a smartphone is an essential part of our daily lives. I still use my phone but mainly for calling, a little texting, reading news articles, a little music occasionally and to click a picture or a video sometimes. Accept it or not, overdoing anything is an addiction. If you have an addiction of any kind that might be destroying your precious time or money or resources or relationships, please get over it. Please get over it because your life needs you, maybe you do not realise but your close ones love you. Understand your potential, you need to do a lot of work and you need to go far before you sleep.

What about giving an iPhone or S7 Edge to a homeless man rather than breaking it?

First of all, let me tell you that I spend at least 1 hour daily on YouTube watching videos, mostly tech videos, educational and informative videos. But I have noticed something strange in recent times. I have seen many YouTubers destroying their smartphones "intentionally" for making a video for the viewers. Not only that, they are dropping, smashing, boiling, freezing, burning, grinding and doing all the possible crazy destructive stuffs to their smartphones! These crazy activities are not only limited to smartphones, they also include other gadgets like tablets, gaming consoles, televisions, computers and what not! The video can attract the attention of us, specially because it is human nature to be protective and cautious about the things we love and we love our smartphones and other costly gadgets for sure. But at the same time, working on these kinds of videos can really be dangerous for those YouTubers who are actually shooting them and most importantly, this is wastage of resource.

I will now give a few examples of the kinds of videos I am talking about -

Why I ask, can't you help a homeless man instead? Can't you see the joy, the magical feeling in their eyes when someone unexpectedly gives them something? They are in need for help and they do not cause any harm to anyone. You can review smartphones and other gadgets and do other creative things with them. A scratch and bend test is also fine, but there is no point of chopping a television off or dropping a smartphone inside a bowl of liquid nitrogen! So, why destroy costly gadgets rather than helping a poor man/woman? Yes, I completely understand that making videos of costly things getting destroyed will attract lots of eyeballs, making the view count of a video reach really high that generates high revenues from advertisements. Making videos about helping poor, homeless people will attract lots of eyeballs too and moreover, it will attract our emotions and empathy, making the view count of a video reach even higher! It makes sure you get the revenue you are looking for, and mainly and most importantly it helps a person who is desperately trying to live for one more day in hope that the next day would bring something good for them. Of course, this is a proven fact and you can check for yourself.

See some emotional videos and the reactions of poor people when they receive any help -

I hope the destruction of costly commodities on YouTube stops and videos about helping the people in need surfaces more and more. Thank you for taking your time to read this. This message needs to be shared all over the world. So, please share this with others if you have the same feelings about this matter. Thanks again.
