The talkative sweeper

Mom, this trash looks so big, I am not able to swallow it. Let me move to the other side of the bedroom for sometime. Wow..! This surface is so smooth, let me dance for sometime here. Up.., and Down... That feels perfect. 
Let me tell you something about life, all you gonna live is for few days or years. Live your life to the fullest, don't waste your time sleeping, worrying or being sad. That is going to rob your time. Look at me, nobody in this house cares about me, but its my duty in my existence to do the cleaning and I embrace the moment when this family compliments me during their dinner time speaking about the floor and its tidiness. Are you saying I shouldn't expect that gratification? You are absolutely right, I only quoted a certain event that made me happier but, I will never expect such compliments or rewards to come that would bring greediness in me. If I become greed, I would start to try shortcuts, shortcuts will get me nowhere. A goal reached by using shortcuts will get me my reward but I will lose happiness and joy which are essential to experience success and fulfillment. 

One fine morning, as I started to unlock myself from the charging dock. To my surprise all the sensors started to find some patterns that were classifying to be as dust. At once, I started to think if I am getting aged or something not not wrong with me. But as I moved a bit closer, all of them resolved to small polythene carry bags. I know, this world uses more of those that my ancestors used to avoid totally as it harms the atmosphere. As I started to suck in those trash of polythene bags, I got to taste some sweetish substance and there I found a strawberry half eaten. I was quite happy to take it in and my intestine very well welcomed it. 

Did I tell you something about myself? Uh, No?? My name is Jeff Magneton, I have been living in a good relationship with this family in this house for almost a decade now. They feed me nice stable current of 220V for an hour every morning and that's my only morning diet. I wait and watch my dad and mom getting ready to their office and the amount of swiftness they would have in their low powered brain legacy processor is quite disappointing. To be direct, that's harmful for both the world and for them. I am powered with a tiny processor to coordinate the task that is programmed in me. I have got 100 legs along my side and 8 wheels to crawl through the floor and climb staircase. Unfortunately, I am not provided with hands like how humans have got. So, the 50 legs equates to 1 leg of a human being. I have pairs of 20 hybrid eyes that are embedded on my forehead. Can you see them? Its not colored boringly in black - white, but in red color. Why am I looking flat and fat? Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, I have a big temporary deposit collector inside me where different kind of litters are classified based on recyclable and non-recyclable. Sounds interesting right? Yes! I am the most useful person living in this house. Just for fun, don't tell this to my dad or mom, they gonna chase me out and you know very well that I find it difficult to crawl through rough surface as my legs are not too strong enough to take in the shocks that comes in front of me. And so, I anytime prefer to stay inside the house making sure that all the floors are neat and shiny.

Lockdown - Will it happen again?

Greetings to You! I trust that you are doing great. I am immensely happy to write yet another article on a whole new subject that talks about a persons authority and their limitations. I find it extremely difficult to squeeze the content in a one-liner, so please read it through till the end.  Let me start with a true story that would undoubtedly be relatable to you that I wanted to share for a long time. At the time of Covid spread, each nation and their governments had taken radical steps abruptly to contain the rate of infections. We all were spellbound by the renewed beauty of the nature around us, as the rare and wonderful birds were sighted near our homes, and the clouds were bright and colourful. The steps taken by the Government were very creative with less to question against. One of which is the Lockdown that spanned for almost six months where almost the whole country(India) came to a standstill. All of the industries except those that involved manufacturing and servicin...

Good news for the Indian contract workers

The code on Social Security, 2020 has for the very first time extended social security benefits like maternity leave, disability insurance, gratuity, health insurance and old age protection to workers in the country’s booming unorganized sector.  These include gig workers, platform workers, contract workers, freelancers and home-based workers. It also stipulates the gratuity benefits to fixed-term employees without any conditions on minimum service.  The code proposes the creation of a social security fund for extending these benefits to workers in the unorganized sector.  The scheme for the social security fund envisages that the platforms and aggregators make contributions to the fund which would be either 1-2 percent of the turnover or 5 percent of the worker’s wages. Central and the state governments can also contribute to the social security fund.  It integrates nine previous regulations relating to social security namely,  The Employees Compensation Act, 1...
