Demonetization and its benefit.

On November 8, 2016, Our honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that Rs. 500 and 1000 will be demonetized after 12:00 A.M. He said that Rs 500 and 1000 are banned to curb the black money, to stop terror funding. Demonetization is a process of stripping a currency unit of its status as legal tender. There were processes announced to exchange the money. People were made stand in the long queue to exchange the money. People faced many problems in the process. Many people died within a few days. Later, Prime Minister said in a press conference that he only needed 50 days. After 50 days, all the black money would come to the national treasure, all the black money will be wiped out. It has been almost 4 years since he announced the demonetization.

Today, In this article I will describe to you about benefits and non-benefits to you. Here are the top 5 benefits of the demonetization. 

1. It reduces the liability of the government.
Before demonetization. Hard money circulated in the economy. There was lesser money circulate in the economy in the form of soft money. So, there was a liability for the government to maintain the hard currency in the economy. After the demonetization, Soft currency has been circulating in the economy. The government has also announced that 5 lakh crore rupees have been collected in the form of notes, hard currency, etc.

Since demonetization occurred, Various online payment gateways have come for the money transaction like Paytm, BHIM, and various other types of payment gateways. Therefore, Soft Currency has been circulating in the economy. There was a research conducted by a university that if a country's economy is fully deal in soft currency than that company's GDP (Gross Domestic Product) will grow by 2% more.
Therefore, Demonetization has reduced the liability of the government very much. It is easier to maintain soft currency as compared with hard currency.

2. It reduces counterfeit currency notes. 

Counterfeit Money 

As mention in the upper point that after demonetization, illegal hard currency was wiped out from the economy. Soft Currency circulated in the economy. Illegal counterfeit or spurious notes (Hard cash) were wiped out of the economy. People are well versed

3. Curbing Anti-Social Activities 

Money confiscated from the hand of the Hawala Operator. 

Illegal anti-social activities occur when country money is circulated in the hand of anti-social people. Now We can say that demonetization had confiscated money from the hand of anti-social people like a terrorist, Hawala businessmen, etc.

4. It increases the GDP growth

As mention in the first point, if a country deals in the soft currency then its country GDP can grew  by 2% more. Demonetization has helped India to grew GDP by some percentage.

5. Increased Savings 

Harod-Domar Model

As a result of demonetization, people will tend to deposit their cash in the bank rather than at home. This will help them save more. Lower lending rates – With currency demonetization, money moves from people to banks and financial institutions. Thus, there is a better circulation of money.

Ghatak: Lethal Story

Today I will write about the Movie Ghatak. Ghatak is a 1996 action movie. The movie was directed by the Rajkumar Santoshi and was produced by the Dharmendra. The movie had starred like Sunny Deol, Meenakshi Seshadri, Amrish Puri, and Danny Denzongpa.

The movie is based on a small town in Mumbai where few shopkeepers run there shops but a goon whose name is Katiya(role played by Danny Denzongpa) wants to take their shop’s property illicitly. There is a person whose name is Namdev. He takes a stand against Katya and tells each and every person that if we can stand against him, He can not takes our property. But nobody assists him and he was murdered by the Katiya brothers’.

The movie then moves  to Banaras where Shambu Nath(role played by Amrish Puri) lives with his son Kashi(role played by Sunny Deol). Shambu Nath is a very blatant or flagrant person. He is suffering from some problems that create problems in his throat. For better treatment, Vaid suggests them move to Mumbai. Kashi along with his father moves to Mumbai where his brother lives. His brother runs a stationery shop where Katya's goon wants to confiscate their property.

The movie moves further ahead. Kashi started exploring Mumbai. One day he meets Gauri(role plays by Meenakshi Shesadri). They both roam in Mumbai and both start liking each other.

Kashi showing his prowess to Katiya.

One day the doctor tells Kashi that your father is suffering from cancer. He will live hardly for 3 to 4 months. Kashi is in tears. He cries in front of his father. His father tells him that “ Just like life, death is also a reality, Accept it and move forward”. From that day Sunny Deol becomes a very dangerous person. He controls his emotion and socially becomes a very brave man. One day while Katiya’s goon was irritating shopkeepers, Kashi beats them black and blue. Everyone is filled with confidence. But Katiya does not like that. Katiya’s goon kidnapped Kashi’s brother son. Their goon tells that if they want Munna then sent Kashi to us.

Kashi and Shambu Nath.

Someone tells Kashi that only through Antya we can reach Katiya. While they were searching for Antya in the bar. Kashi finds out that Gauri was dancing in a dance bar and he was devastated by that scene. There was a story that Gauri's sister was paralyzed, that is why she was dancing so that she can earn money for her treatment.

When Kashi meets Antya, Antya tells Kashi that if he wants Munna, he has to fight Akram Khan. Then the most iconic film scene ever taken place between Akram Khan and Kashi. Kashi defeats him. Katiya wants him to work for him but he refuses and told Katya that his power and strength are earned through hard work. It can not be wasted in bad work.

When Kashi was about to leave for Banaras. Katiya along with his brother attacked Katiya. Katiya made Shambu Nath a dog in front of all society. Both father and son were left unconscious in front of all people.

Then Kashi decided to kill all seven brothers of Katiya. He first kills Antya. He was sent jail for that. Suddenly, Kashi’s father Shambu Nath died. Noone gave him kandha for the last ride. Kashi alone gave him Kanda and did all the final rites.

Then he alone attacked Katiya in his home. Kashi killed Katya's five brothers. He was captured by Katya and his brother. He was brought in front of all people. He suddenly takes some courage and made Katya a Dog. Katiya was dead then.

9 Things we can learn from the Movie Lakshya

Today, I will describe in this post that why Lakshya Movie is a must-watch movie for every Adolescent and teenagers. This movie was released in 2004. It starred Hrithik Roshan as the lead actor. It is a story of a youngster, Karan Shergill, who is confused in his life, he was not able to find out the goal "Lakshya " of his life. One day his friend told him that he was joining the Indian Army, Karan Shergill was also  influenced by his friend. Therefore, he also joined the Army. But at the final moment, his friend denied joining Army. Twist came in the Movie when Karan Shergill left the Army camp without informing any person. When he met his girlfriend Romila Dutta (Role played by Preity Zinta). She accused him of being a careless person who can not stand by the decision he took for himself and told him that she can not marry a guy like him. Then Karan Shergill went back to the Army Camp and story move further.

Here are the 9 things you can learn from the Life of Karan Shergill and the Movie Lakshya.
             
1. It is ok to be confused in Life.

Karan Shergill dancing on the song "Main Aisa Kyun Hoon"

  This song came just after Karan Shergill's  friends had decided the goals of their life but he was confused and suddenly some thoughts came to his mind that Why he is like that, Why he is not able to find the goal of his life. Positive things that teenagers can take from  is that  Karan Shergill had not any procrastination feeling. Yes,  he was confused but he never regrets anything in his life.

2. The World is full of stories, interesting people. How can someone feel bored?

Karan Shergill and Romila Dutta Confronting each other.

  This is a scene where Karan Shergill asked his girlfriend Romila Dutta why she never felt bored in her life. Romila Dutta replied that the world is full of stories, full of interesting people. How can someone feels bore in their life? She said that if people are interested  in their life, they can not get the time to get bore?

This scene depicts that there will come a situation in your life where you will feel useless and many thoughts will come in people's minds. It is because they have not found the goal  of their life yet.
We can observe one more thing here is that he was not depressed at all. He was not in stress at all.
In my humble opinion, there  could be various reasons behind that one could be his hobbies.
He was confused but his mind was so strong that negative thoughts were not coming in his mind.

3. Reading books is a good habit.

Romila Dutta reading a book while confronting Karan Shergill.

Captain Karan Shergill reading a book.

   Here, I have attached two photos. In the first photo, Romila Dutta is reading a book and in the second photo, Karan Shergil is reading the book under a tree.
There is an adage that books are the best friend of a person. When you  watch the movie, you will find out that they both feel  complete with inner peace and You will observe a sense of satisfaction on their face. Yes, Books  will never leave you alone and you will not be affected by other people's life.

4. You should have the courage to go against the decision of your father.

Karan Shergill confronting his father.

This scene depicts a very common scene of an Indian middle-class family, it depicts a relationship  between a son and his father. When Karan Shergill joined Army his father was not happy with the decision. He was furious with his son. He asked his son by whom permission are you  joining Army? He further asked his son if you will join the Army than after you who will take care of my Business?
Karan Shergill was a very adamant person and he stuck to his decision and joined the army.

Neither Karan Shergill nor his father was wrong here. His father has done all the hard work in his life and settles a very big business in a Metro City Delhi.He could have the desire that  after me, my son will take care of my business. But Karan Shergill was joining Army. Therefore, his dream was shattered.

5. Don't be an animal (Never chase a girl)

Karan Shergill was frustrated and devastated  after his girlfriend had left him.

When Romila Dutta rejected Karan Shergill and told her that She can not marry a guy who can not stand by his decision. A decision which was taken by himself for the first time in this life. She can not marry such a person as he is.
Yes, Karan Shergill was devastated, he was frustrated.  The beauty which Farhan Akhtar has shown here is very applaudable. Karan Shergill did not chase the girl. He did not try to contact her. He did not become an animal after that. He never showed a rejection feeling to anyone. Neither to his friends nor to this family. This is something that today's teenagers can learn that whenever a girl rejects you should not chase her. You should  force her to listen to yourself. You should have dignity and You should have some respect for her. You should respect her dignity.
A Woman should be respected for many reasons. Her decision should be respected for many reasons.

6. Discipline makes good Leaders.

Look at the intensity in the eyes of Karan Shergill. This intensity is required in Leader's eyes.

Karan Shergill breached the Army Rule and Court Marshall was waiting for him. He confronted his senior officers and accepted all the mistakes he had made while he was on training. There is an adage that says "Fortune favors the Brave". This is what happened here with Karan. He was given 1 month. In one month, his behavior will be observed and then further decisions will be taken.
In 1 month's, he showed the discipline an Army Man must possess. He wakes up early in the morning and starts further training. He starts a good habit of writing. He starts a good habit of reading. Here  are things which a leader must possess and the song "Yeh hi Lakshya hai tera" perfectly describes the scenario.

7. Team Work

Three Soldiers encouraging one another.

The Song "Kandhe se Milte Kandhe Kadmo se Kadam Milte hai, Hum Chalte hai Aise dil dushman k hilte hai".  If someone wants to see what teamwork could be like, then this is a perfect movie to watch out. The Lyrics of the song are something that can boost or strengthen teamwork in any organization.

8. Sometimes It is ok not to look back or look down

3rd Battalion team of Punjab Regiment led by Captain Karan Shergill.

In this scene, a junior told his captain Karan Shergill that Sahabji niche dekne se dar lagta. Kya karu ? . Karan Shergill replied you should not look down. This is the only solution.
This is also the life we should never look back in our life, No matter what.

9.Lakshya

Captain Karan Shergill telling Journalist Romila Dutta about the Lakshya of his life.

The sole purpose of this movie is to  tell the audience that A person should find the goal or Lakshya of his/her life as early as he/she could. Once you will find your Lakshya. One matter after you will be able to achieve that Lakshya.


There are various other things which we can also learn from this Movie. Different people have different views. I have expressed my views sincerely. If you like my views, You can give feedback to me by commenting on this.
Thank You!
