The Second Class

 Trains have been a lifeline for people across India either locals or intercity. The hustle-bustle of passengers with hope and ambitions peeping out of the grilled window fills you up and teleports you to another world. The journey in these seating classes can be an experience of a lifetime with memories that you are sure to cherish. One is likely to feel that a community of the village of people have boarded the train with heated debates on politics, education and if women are involved probably a discussion of kids and food. You are in for a treat as you going to be enriched with these conservations and have something to take home with you.

 

It one of the cheapest class coaches by the Indian Railways that fits in every budget. However, the popular 2 S or second class can be either reserved or unreserved as it is the last option of travel during an emergency. These second seating classes are usually equipped with car seats in a 3 x3 fashion. There 6 berths inside the aisle, where 2 berths on the side that allow the passengers to sit and sleep after 9pm. To ensure that the passengers can avail themselves of the emergency evacuations, one would find an emergency pull chain that cautions the driver, making the train halt and get any incident checked. Although, you may hear the snores of mindless sleepers as background music that might trouble the eardrums. The cool breeze tingling your hair is an experience that is unmatched to an adventure with a picturesque view of mountains, rivers and farms is quite breath-taking, perfect for a candid shot.

 

If you are considering for comfort rating in 2S, going with unreserved and check-in your fate, it is not recommended especially for long-distance train travel in India. Since indulgence in such a way of travel, you may end up sitting cross-legged on the floor of the train or even worse standing all throughout until you reach your destination, not adding to your pleasure. Besides, if it is crowded or flooded with passengers that come in and out you be sandwiched in between, finding yourself checking out  Believe it or not, but one does require reservations for this, and the tickets can be easily purchased through the ticket counters with a nominal amount of money. Often the tickets are available a few hours before the departure of the trains unless it is a holiday season or a weekend when this mode of transportation tends to get even busier. Prepare yourself if you plan to travel a long distance with a pillow, sleeping back and the ability to enjoy and stay calm.

 

Nevertheless, travel is recommended once in a lifetime especially if you are not living in India. It gives you a true glimpse of the life of people from all walks of life in India. Sweaty shirts of labourers, traditional clothed, talkative children venting out their curiosity in the trails of questions. Sometimes, you may look at entertainers with different acts that can keep you entertained and preoccupied. If you are a people’s person, and you would enjoy the entire trip without a hiccup as monotony is quite absent owing to the constant passing of people.

 

Surprises may come your way, since you may be accompanied by random passengers sharing your seat in the daylight given that they are travelling without a ticket. There is a penalty on travelling without a ticket if you are caught including jail terms and monetary fees. Since the tickets are checked by the TT or the officials deputed to check the validity of their seat’s reservation, and you land in trouble. It is good to get a hang of using Indian toilets, although provision of a western toilet would be available it is always better to be prepared. The element of amazement never ceases to startle you.

 

The flavours and aroma of the cuisines, with the food vendors of different delicacies trying to sell their product at every stop. The ready-to-drink tea in a stainless steel container poured in earthen drinking pots adds to its soul. Even if you are not a teetotaller, you may want to give it a try. But if you have a sensitive stomach, then you may have to refrain from these little joys of eating. These vendors might be handling the cash and tossing your food from the same hand, so if you are quite particular about hygiene and cleanliness, it is not advised for you. If you have not ever packed food, you are likely going to be amazed by the different ways and techniques to do so. One of the common ways is to use newspaper or magazine paper, often used to carry home-cooked food for long journeys without missing the string smell of the pickles. If you don’t have food with you, one can buy something on the way as you would have stopped to pick up food or vendors barging your personal space presenting food in paper plates or wrapped in plastic served at a nominal price. The warmest and friendly encounters are found in this class, where you might be offered food as a part of the customary Indian Hospitality, wherein food is shared or offered to guests or people sitting next to you especially if you are a foreigner. It might be tough though to say NO, as it is considered customary to request the guests several times on the pretext that the guest might be shy.

 

The best part is to stand by the open door and enjoy the cool breeze, but you need to be cautious as one wrong step can lead you to the other world. This is more enjoyable since this class is not equipped with an air conditioner, and during summers it can be challenging for anyone not acclimatized to the hot weather. Although, it might feel like a war zone to be always on alert and sudden noise if you are looking for the thrilling adrenaline rush you definitely should not let go of any opportunity to travel in 2 S, even for a short trip.

The Growing Usage of Web Proxy Servers

Internet has become one of the strongest media of our times. You have millions of websites to browse through and yet more and more websites are being uploaded everyday. Since internet has become more like an integral part of every organization, everyone has an access to all these websites at any hour. To check the misuse of internet, various companies and organizations prefer to block the sites, such as the social networking sites, that may not be useful for their official purposes. This is where 'web proxy' has a role to play.

In the networking of computers, a proxy server is a server (an application program), which takes the requirements of its client system) and processes them by sending them to other servers. The client gets associated to the proxy server which aids him by requesting services such as connection, web page etc which have to be retrieved from some other server. The proxy server connects to the specified server and requests the service on behalf of the client. A proxy server may occasionally adjust the client's request or the server's response, and from time to time it may serve the request without contacting the particular server. In this case, it would 'cache' the first request to the remote server, so it could save the information for later, and make the whole thing as fast as possible.

A special case of web proxies are ‘CGI proxies’. These are web sites that allow a user to access a site through them. They generally use PHP or CGI to implement the proxy functionality. These types of proxies are frequently used to gain access to web sites blocked by corporate or school proxies. Given that they also hide the user's personal IP address from the web sites they avail through the proxy, they are from time to time also used to gain a degree of anonymity, referred as ‘Proxy Avoidance’.

A circumventor is a method of overcoming any kind of blockings or banned websites implemented using proxy servers. But fascinatingly, a number of circumventors also act as proxy servers on different levels of action which efficiently put into practice ‘bypass policies’. A circumventor is a web-based page that takes a site that is blocked as well as ‘circumvents’ it through to an unblocked web site, letting the user to view blocked pages.

Students are able to access blocked sites (games, messenger, social networking, etc.) through a circumventor. As fast as the filtering software blocks circumventors, others spring up. However, in some cases the filter may still intercept traffic to the circumventor, thus the person who manages the filter can still see the sites that are being visited. For instance, consider elgooG, which permitted users in China to use Google after it had been blocked there.

Circumventors are also used by people who have been blocked from a web site. Another use of a circumventor is to allow access to country-specific services, so that Internet users from other countries may also make use of them. An instance is country-restricted imitation of media as well as webcasting. While usage of a proxy server (for example, anonymizing HTTP proxy), all data sent to the service used (for instance, HTTP server in a website) must go by through the proxy server before being sent to the service, frequently in unencrypted form. It is consequently probable, as has been recognized for a nasty proxy server to trace everything sent to the proxy inclusive of unencrypted logins as well as passwords.

SAND THERAPY GUIDE

                                                                                                     Duration: 50mins

The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss

               

Step 1: Creating a Sand Tray
The creation of a sand tray is the most important step towards achieving a successful therapy. The teachers should check if the trays have enough sand for the children to play and enjoy themselves. Each child in the sand play therapy course should be given a personal tray each measuring 500 X 350 mm.
Step 2: Choosing the Toys or Objects
Choose appropriate toys or objects to be kept in the sand tray. The objects or toys should be chosen in a manner that can be easily associated with the characters of the story. This would enable the children to identify the characters easily and make their own adaptations of the story while they play.

Step 3: Placing the toys or Objects
The placement of the toys or objects should be done in a sequence. The preferred placement is putting the toys or objects in a straight line. In this way, children would later place them accordingly as per their adapted version of the story.
Step 4: Narrate the Story
The teachers should narrate the story of ‘The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss’. The narration of the story would help the children to associate with the toys or objects placed in the sand tray. The teacher can narrate the story by means of a video projector and identifying objects such as sun, fish amidst others. This step would allow the children to understand and acquaint them with the basic fabric of the story. The teachers should be open to any questions that might arise by the children in regard to the moral of the story. At this point, the children should be encouraged by the teacher to make their own versions in accordance to their understanding.

Step 5: Write down the Observations for Each Child
Each child is likely to make their own adaptations to the story in accordance to preferences and factors affecting him or her such as family background, creativity amidst others. These adaptations made by each child consciously or unconsciously reflect their particular behavioral pattern. It is crucial to note down the observations for each child involved in the sand play therapy course. These remarks or notes would be beneficial to draw conclusion with regard to any disrupting behavior of child. This in turn would help to point out ideal solutions or treatments to deal with a specific behavioral pattern.
Step 6: Feedback
The teacher should give feedback to each child in regard to his or her narration. This would allow the children to rectify any misinterpretation. The teacher is advised to give a positive feedback, as it would build the confidence of the child and allow him or her to modify behavioral pattern, as the level o comfort is established.
