    From Glowing Screens to Living Streets ,The Pause Revealed a music Buried in Memory

    Aijaz baba

    The recent internet disruption brought with it an unintended yet profound social revelation .while many initially perceived the disruption as inconvenience,it paradoxically unfolded into an experiment  in collective psychology and sociology.It reminded us of what it means to live proximity,beyond the glow of screens and the distraction of endless notifications.

    From a psychological standpoint ,the interruption exposed our growing dependency on technology.The human brain , conditioned to constant digital stimulation, experiences withdrawal like symptoms in the absence of connectivity irritability , anxiety and restlessness,yet as the hours turned into days ,many reported a subtle recalibration ,deeper conversation at home ,a rediscovery of leisure activities and even an improved capacity of attention.This temporary disconnection ,then functioned  almost like a cognitive detox ,reducing digital fatigue and sharpening interpersonal sensitivity

    From a sociological perspective,the disruption revealed the double edged nature of technology.On one hand,the internet has expanded our social horizons ,connecting communities across distances .On the other ,it has also fragmented local ties, with families dining together yet living apart in their digital silos .The disruption created a reversal of this trend .Neighbourhoods long silenced by the glow of handheld devices, echoed once more with voices , children playing outside , neighbours exchanging stories ,and families rediscovering the rhythm of collective life .

    It would be simplistic to argue for the rejection of technology.The internet remains a critical infrastructure for communication, education and livelihoods . However,the episode underscores a vital sociological lesson .when overused , technology colonizes not just our time but also our relationship and identities.What unfolded during the disruption was a reminder that human beings are social animals who crave physical presence,eye contact and unmediated interaction..

    The challenge ahead lies not in abandoning technology,but in cultivating a psychological discipline and sociological balance ,a conscious choice to use digital tools without letting them displace the organic fabric of community Life .The internet blackout may have been accidental ,but it held up a mirror to our hyper connected yet socially disconnected age .Perhaps its greatest gift was not the restoration of networks but the restoration of conversations

    13th July Is Part of Our Identity, History Can’t Be Erased: M.Y. Tarigami

    Kulgam, July 13: Senior CPI(M) leader and MLA Kulgam M.Y. Tarigami on Saturday said that 13th July holds immense historical significance in the collective memory of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and no force can erase its place in their hearts.

    “13th July is the day of our martyrs who sacrificed their lives to end the rule of aristocracy and dictatorship,” Tarigami “Their courage laid the foundation for democratic awakening in the region. This day is not just a date, it is part of our identity.”

    Tarigami strongly criticized the decision to remove 13th July as a public holiday in December 2019, calling it an attempt to erase the region’s history. “Some people are trying to erase our identity, but we cannot and will not accept such decisions. History cannot be rewritten or removed through orders. We will wait for the time when justice is done,” he said.

    He further remarked that those opposing the commemoration of Martyrs’ Day are themselves at a loss. “Whether those in power choose to declare it a holiday or not, 13th July will always live in our hearts, He added.

  • Commercial 19-kg LPG cylinder price slashed by ₹58.50, no change in domestic cylinder rates

    Commercial 19-kg LPG cylinder price slashed by ₹58.50, no change in domestic cylinder rates

    New Delhi, July 1: Oil marketing companies revised the prices of commercial LPG gas cylinders on Tuesday, reducing the cost of a 19 kg commercial cylinder by Rs 58.50. The new rates came into effect from July 1, bringing relief to commercial users such as hotels, restaurants, and businesses.

    While in Delhi, with the latest revision, the retail sale price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder was set at Rs 1665, down from the previous rate. There was, however, no change in the price of 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinders, which are widely used in households.

    The commercial LPG cylinder will cost Rs 1,616 in Mumbai, Rs 1,769 in Kolkata and Rs 1,823.50 in Chennai.

    Meanwhile, a separate development, petrol pumps across the national capital notices warning against fueling End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) were seen pasted on display boards. The warning stated that “fuel will not be dispensed to end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) – 15-year-old petrol and 10-year-old diesel vehicles from July 1, 2025.”

    Along with these notices, CCTV cameras and speakers were also installed at several fuel stations to monitor compliance and inform customers.

    On June 27, according to a latest research report by ICICI Bank, global crude oil prices are likely to see a downside, weighed down by the de-escalation of the Israel-Iran conflict, soft demand, and increasing supply.

    On the demand side, the report suggests that if the negative sentiment regarding the trade war persists, it will result in depressed demand.

    Additionally, crude oil demand is expected to remain flat in 2025, coming in at relatively unchanged levels of 102.9mbpd as was seen in 2024, taking into account the subdued global growth momentum.

    On the supply side, the global supply of crude oil followed an upward trajectory on a sequential basis, led by higher production from OPEC, while non-OPEC supply remained fairly robust.

    “The physical markets recorded a net supply surplus for the fifth consecutive month of 1.6mbpd in May compared to 1.9mbpd recorded in April,” ICICI Bank said.

    The demand showed a rise of 0.3mbpd to 102.6mbpd in May. However, this supply-demand equation was not adequate to match the supply of 104.2mbpd that is being driven by increasing output from OPEC.

    However, the report also highlights that the spike in crude prices in response to the Iran-Israel conflict was much lower than previous geopolitical events such as the Russia-Ukraine war, reflecting an oversupplied physical market that is prevailing at the current juncture.–(ANI)
