The Village Guy

Proper management of water is important in every country and especially in populated countries like India. It is high time that we need to measure our water usage in our homes. Putting a SMART TAP at the water tank would be a necessity in the near future.  Imagine a digital and eco-friendly village. IOT ( internet of things ) is part of their daily life. And their smart tap is used to measure the water usage in the home. And it is connected to the IOT, continuously sends some data related to water flow and quality of water etc.. The smart tap also measures the water level based on the pressure at the tap. And gives you reminders about the water filling. The village officer can analyze the water usage of each house in that village and he can give some incentives/rewards to the less average water usage. In the other post , we have discussed the Aadhaar based dustbins, giving incentives to the villagers for cleanliness. The incentive-based schemes are not the first time to...

There is no less of innovation in the young minds of India. To encourage that innovation, AIM (Atal Innovation Mission) has been set up under the NITI Ayog wing. And Atal Tinkering Labs are spread across the country to enable the innovation in the students. After many rounds, top 30 Ideas have been listed here. Out of these 30 best ideas, a few caught my senses strongly. Recycling wastewater from automobile garages We often give a water service for our bike/car monthly or weekly. We tend to saw how our vehicle got a new look after servicing. But, the students of  "Jnana Prabodhini Navnagar Vidyala, Nigdi, Pune, Maharashtra" thought something else. They are interested in the wastewater which can be recycled. What an Idea sir ji! Smart Tap Just like how there is a measurement for electricity, mobile data that we are consuming, there will be a smart tap that measures water coming through that tap. The best part is that the tap also purifies the water. This idea came...

Live cricket is awesome to watch. But not this IPL cricket. Here are the  four things that make me watch only highlights, but not live. 1. That stupid hindi font on screen Arey baba, I understand that you want to promote Hindi as national language. But don't try to force us to see Hindi every time. 2. More annoying Hindi commentary I used to learn the formation of sentences in English from English commentary. I'm not saying Hindi commentary is bad or good. But I like it to be in English. 3. IPL or APL (Advertising Premiere League) There will be more number of ads than the no. of balls in the match. IPL is pure business stunt. The match begins, hope fully there is no wicket in the last ball or first ball of over. Ads will irritate you. And we have timeouts. God save them. If there is a wicket, they won't show you replay, immediately they go for ads and if possible they show the replay. 4. Poor umpiring There are many instances which took big inside edges before hitting l...
