"I come from lower middle class.. after 12 I started doing CA that too from scholarship. I'm very curious and keep researching everything what's the latest trend.

UP Teacher Faces Legal Action Over Poem Promoting Education During Kanwar Yatra
A teacher in Uttar Pradesh has become the center of a religious controversy after reciting a self-composed poem during a school assembly that emphasized the importance of education over participation in the Kanwar Yatra pilgrimage. The incident has resulted in legal action against the educator following complaints from Hindu organizations. Rajneesh Gangwar, who teaches at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Inter College in Bareilly, found himself in legal trouble after a video of his poem recitation went viral on social media. The poem, titled "Tum Kanwar lene mat jana, gyaan ka deep jalana," translates to "Don't go to fetch the Kanwar, instead light the lamp of knowledge." The controversial verse included lines suggesting that carrying the Kanwar has not led anyone to become a Superintendent of Police or District Magistrate, implying that educational pursuits would be more beneficial for personal advancement than religious rituals. The poem was performed during a morning assembly where students had gathered in the college courtyard. The timing of the poem proved particularly sensitive as it coincided with the ongoing Kanwar Yatra, which commenced on July 11, 2025, during the holy month of Sawan. This annual pilgrimage attracts thousands of devotees who travel on foot to collect sacred water from the River Ganga and offer it at Shiva temples across the region. The pilgrimage period typically sees massive movement of devotees and requires extensive security arrangements throughout Uttar Pradesh. Hindu organizations strongly objected to the poem's content, viewing it as inflammatory and disrespectful toward Kanwar pilgrims. They argued that the timing was particularly inappropriate, given that the Kanwar Yatra was actively underway and had received support from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The groups contended that a teacher expressing such views within a school environment was provocative and unacceptable. Following protests and formal complaints from Hindu outfits, Bareilly police registered a First Information Report against the teacher under relevant legal sections related to promoting enmity between different groups and disturbing communal harmony. The case reflects the sensitive nature of religious expression in educational institutions and the broader tensions surrounding religious practices in public spaces. Baheri Circle Officer Arun Kumar confirmed the registration of the case, stating that the teacher had made objectionable comments about the Kanwar Yatra through his poetry recitation. He emphasized that necessary legal proceedings were being initiated following the complaint. The incident highlights the ongoing debates in India about the balance between educational values and religious traditions, particularly in institutional settings. It also demonstrates how social media can amplify local incidents into broader controversies, especially when they touch upon religious sentiments during significant pilgrimage periods. The case raises questions about freedom of expression in educational environments and the extent to which teachers can express personal views on religious practices. It also reflects the challenges faced by educators in navigating the complex intersection of secular education and religious sensitivities in contemporary India. As the legal proceedings continue, the incident serves as a reminder of the delicate balance required when discussing religious matters in public institutions and the potential consequences of viral social media content in today's interconnected world.

I travel by public transport, and here's why I swear by the OnePlus Buds 4
When I was in New York last week, I took the subway to travel from Brooklyn to Manhattan. The week before that, I was in London and used the Tube to get around the city. Back in Delhi, where I am based, I travel by Delhi Metro, auto, or local bus. Public transportation is a part of my everyday life. While I can drive a car, I prefer the anxiety-free experience that public transport offers and I am glad I am not in the driver's seat in a city like Delhi. It allows me to explore the city through my own eyes and find time to read a book with my earbuds plugged in. However, as a city boy, I can't completely escape the hustle and bustle and one device that's been traveling with me everywhere (including long-haul flights) is the OnePlus Buds 4. They have quite literally saved me from loud conversations on the Delhi Metro, noisy roads of New York, and the constant chatter in Indian restaurants in London. It's the one device I have found most helpful during my travels over the past few days, thanks to its suppressive active noise cancellation, lightweight fit, and superb sound quality, all for Rs 5,999. What: OnePlus Buds 4| Price: Rs 5,999 The Buds 4 themselves have an AirPods Pro-like feel to them. While they are made of plastic, they have a premium look. The Buds come in two colours: Storm Grey and Zen Green. I received the latter for review, and they look especially sleek in the summer, particularly the case. The charging case has a pebble-like shape, measuring 6.54 × 5.24 × 2.53 cm and weighing 39.5 grams. One often overlooked but impressive feature of the case is its strong magnetic connection. The magnets are incredibly powerful, keeping the earbuds securely locked into the charging dock, so how hard you shake it, the connection remains intact and charging continues. The buds come with an IP55 rating, meaning they can withstand splashes and bursts of water, making them well-suited for the monsoon season. Having an IP rating gives more confidence to wear them in rain, or if you are sweaty as I am during running in the morning. The Buds 4 have a familiar fit, similar to the Buds 3 Pro. They are also quite comfortable. They sit securely in my ears. I never felt them slipping during any of my runs, and they passed my head shake test with no movement. I am not a huge fan of touch controls on earbuds. I prefer physical buttons instead. That being said, I know a lot of people like touch controls for some reason. Anyway, the touch controls on the Buds 4 were responsive and unobtrusive. They use 'squeezy' stems for playback controls and allow you to adjust the volume by brushing your finger up or down the stem. Typically, true wireless earbuds in this price segment fail to excite me. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the Buds 4. While they don't come close to the AirPods Pro 2 or the Sony WF-1000XM5, the Buds 4 definitely hold their ground. They offer a rounded sound, not flat, as many earbuds in this price range tend to be. The Buds 4 sound full, rich, and generally well-balanced, thanks to a new coaxial dual-driver system: essentially, a large 11mm woofer for the rumbly lows and a separate 6mm tweeter for the highs. Listening to Coldplay's Viva La Vida, I could clearly hear the instruments; the vocals were clear and moving, and the overall sound carried a nostalgic hue without compromising cohesiveness. The Buds 4 were equally impressive while playing Kanye West's Flashing Lights, a complicated track, yet I didn't notice any major distortion or blowouts. Clarity can suffer slightly at higher volumes, though. While the bass isn't the most powerful, it holds up well. As I listened to French Montana's Unforgettable, the earbuds delivered clear bass and maintained detail and clarity as the track grew in complexity. There's also a spatial audio feature supported on the Buds 4. Simply put, spatial audio creates a surround-sound listening experience, making it feel like the music is coming at you from all angles, much like in a high-quality movie theater or concert hall. It's not particularly great for music, but it works well for movies. These buds also support streaming high-resolution audio via the Hi-Res Audio Wireless standard, using the LHDC 5.0 Bluetooth codec, and offer a sampling rate of 192kHz. However, the high-res audio feature doesn't work on the iPhone 16 Pro, which is my primary device at the moment. The feature is supported on premium Android smartphones, though. Matching the upgraded sound quality is the noise cancellation. As someone who commutes via public transport on a weekly, sometimes daily basis, having earbuds with a decent level of active noise cancellation (ANC) is a must. In fact, while listening to music on New York's subway, I was able to completely drown out the ambient noise and immerse myself so deeply that I missed my stop. There's no noticeable degradation in sound quality or noise cancellation performance, exactly what you want from a pair of daily driver earbuds. They work great in offices, cafés, and open public spaces too. The transparency mode does its job well, especially in an open-plan office. These types of offices can get quite loud by noon, when more people arrive and everyone's on calls or chatting. That's when the Buds 4's transparency mode comes to the rescue as it adjusts the level automatically based on the surrounding noise conditions. The Buds 4 sound incredibly clear, especially when on calls or when listening to podcasts or audiobooks, something I do a lot while travelling. Battery life is outstanding, too. They have a battery life of up to 11 hours with ANC turned off. The case itself holds quite a bit of charge, offering up to 45 hours of listening time, which drops to 24 hours with ANC enabled. The Buds 4 are fun to use and quite likable. They are lightweight and compact, yet they don't skimp on features or performance. They feel like a cross between premium and budget wireless earbuds.
