Meet Srujana Kotagiri, a Leading Eco Activist, from Nirmal district, Telangana, India. Womenlines takes pleasure in having ‘The FEARLESS Voice'  of Eco Change in the ‘Her Story Her Impact' show!Srujana's journey is a testament to the strength and determination of a woman raised by an extraordinary mother. Growing up in a middle-class family, she faced numerous challenges, but her mother's unwavering support and determination helped her overcome them. Abandoned by her father at just one-year-old, Srujana's mother selflessly raised her for 30 years, ensuring she received a good education against all odds.Srujana's journey of resilience and dedication is deeply rooted in the influence of her mother—a rock, guiding light, and unwavering source of inspiration. She vividly recalls her mother working tirelessly as a ladies' tailor, often bringing work home and stitching late into the night to support the family. Beyond her professional commitments, her mother also devoted time to nurturing Srujana's creativity and practical skills.During summer camps and school breaks, Srujana's mother taught her a range of valuable skills, including:Soft toy-makingYogaWoollen workJute bag-makingPaintingHer mother's dedication and perseverance instilled in Srujana a strong sense of discipline, creativity, and resilience, values that continue to guide her today.Instilling Empathy and KindnessIn addition to teaching practical skills, Srujana's mother deeply embedded in her the values of empathy and kindness. She encouraged Srujana to treat others with compassion, even those who may have caused harm, fostering a spirit of forgiveness and understanding.Today, Srujana stands as a testament to her mother's love, support, and sacrifices. She is profoundly grateful for the lessons her mother has imparted and hopes to make her proud. Her journey is a shining example of the power of a mother's love and sacrifice, inspiring others to recognize and appreciate the unsung heroes in their lives.Driven by a passion for making a positive impact, Srujana has combined her strong educational foundation in B.Tech and MBA with nine years of experience in the software industry to initiate a self-funded noble cause. Inspired by her mother, she began planting trees in 2014, focusing on Zodiac Signs, Rasi, Nakshatra, medicinal plants, and rare species such as Neem, Ashoka, Ekavilvam, Mahavilvam, Rudraksh, Aloe Vera, and Bhringraj—a plant known for promoting natural hair growth—as well as varieties known for reducing sugar levels.To date, Srujana has planted over 200,000 plants, including 20,000 Neem and Ashoka trees that she has personally planted. Her initiative aims to reduce pollution, protect the ozone layer, and generate oxygen, ultimately contributing to the preservation of our planet. Notably, this mission has been entirely self-funded, without any external financial assistance. Through her dedication, Srujana not only honors her mother's legacy but also strives to make a meaningful difference in environmental conservation.Embracing a Growth Mindset and Nurturing PositivitySrujana embodies a growth mindset, approaching each day with gratitude for Mother Earth and the blessings that sustain our lives. Her journey is fueled by curiosity, a passion for empowering others, and a desire for innovation and progress. She encourages everyone to “scatter positivity like seeds,” reminding us to:Smile at every face we meetBe a beacon of hope, shining brightOffer help without hesitationEnfold struggling souls in a warm, stress-reducing hugThrough these small acts of kindness, Srujana believes we can create a ripple effect of compassion, empathy, and understanding, transforming the world into a haven of love and positivity. Her relentless efforts not only contribute to environmental conservation but also inspire others to take individual actions toward a sustainable future.Srujana's Legacy of Love and DedicationSrujana's story is a powerful reminder of the impact one person can have when driven by passion and sustained by love. Her journey continues to inspire many, encouraging us to recognize the unsung heroes in our own lives and to take meaningful steps to create positive change in our communities and beyond. Also read-Marlina's Fridge of Hope: Empowering Families in Need with Free Food in Singapore

The US' President-elect inherits a world different from that in his first term. Synopsis: The Straits Times' global contributor Nirmal Ghosh shines a light on Asian perspectives of global and Asian issues with expert guests. Tariffs - as a weapon to restore and rejuvenate American jobs and manufacturing -  will be back with a vengeance in Donald Trump's second term. So will competition with China, in the course of which performative support for Taiwan by hawks in Congress and Washington DC security circles may end up provoking Beijing and thus hurting Taiwan.   Yet the US' 47th President will inherit a world different from that of his first term in 2017 - one with more limits to American power. While some hawks in Washington see China as weak and advocate that the US should do everything it can to push it over the edge, realists understand the US can no longer do everything.  From the perspective of South-east Asia, it is imperative to defuse the zero-sum mentality of US-China competition. Faced with the disruptive effects of tariffs, this  region has to also find ways to go back to a kind of globalisation that works for everyone.  These are some of the challenges, and currents, that the next American President and the US' trade partners and allies must navigate and adapt to, as a new era looms in Washington DC.  In this episode of Asian Insider, Nirmal hosts Danny Quah, Professor of Economics and Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, and Robert Manning, Distinguished Fellow at the Stimson Center in Washington, DC, who is working on the think tank's Strategic Foresight and China programmes.

In this powerful and historically rich podcast episode, we dive deep into the untold stories of Hyderabad's past, featuring the iconic Pasham Yadagiri Sir. Known for his extensive knowledge of the region's history and his fearless critiques of modern society, Yadagiri Sir sheds light on many hidden aspects of Hyderabad, the Nizams, and their rule. We begin by revisiting the famous “Bandi Venaka Bandi” song, which leads us into a detailed discussion about Hyderabad's Nizam era, particularly what transpired on September 17th. This was a turning point for many, especially for farmers and certain communities like the Brahmins and Padmashalis, who faced brutal killings. Yadagiri Sir unpacks the complexities of the British taxation system and how the Nizams acted as allies to the British crown. He touches on significant events such as the hanging of 1,000 Gonds in Nirmal and emphasizes the need for a 'mosaic vision' to truly understand the British rule in India. We explore how the Nizams first came to power in India and whether there is any confusion between the Nizam army and the notorious Razakars. Yadagiri Sir breaks down the difference between the regular and irregular armies, drawing parallels to contemporary cases like Disha and Nayeem, showing the long-lasting impact of these historical systems on today's society. We discuss infamous cases such as Belle Lalitha's death and the mysterious ways in which these deaths are often brushed under the rug. Yadagiri Sir raises concerns over critical thought in journalism and why cases like Nayeem's death were never properly filed. The conversation also takes a turn towards Operation Polo, the military action that led to Hyderabad's annexation into India. Yadagiri Sir speaks passionately about the massacre that occurred afterward, often referred to as the second Jallianwala Bagh, and the forgotten figures like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Chaakali Ellamma who played crucial roles during this period. He shares insights into the once-wealthy regions of Hyderabad, such as Vagul and Adilabad, which were richer than Kashmir. Yadagiri Sir also discusses how the oppressive 'Dhora' taxation system and violent events like the Puligiri massacre shaped Telangana's fight for survival. The podcast delves into intriguing questions about Belle Lalitha's death and its connection to Nayeem, exploring the larger political context that led to her tragic end. From the closure of all CBM factories, including Asia's largest sugar factory, to the Charminar cigarette industry, Yadagiri Sir points out how these economic collapses affected common people. He argues that certain political parties, like TRS, TDP, and BJP, have ultimately put an end to the vision of Graama Swaraj, leaving us in a cryptocracy rather than a democracy. Moving on to caste dynamics, Yadagiri Sir explains the historical origin of caste titles like Reddy and Choudary, clarifying that these were originally professions rather than social hierarchies. In the case of Reddys, they were land contractors, while Choudary referred to tax collectors. With his trademark candor, Yadagiri Sir also delves into human evolution and how the rise of industrial economies disrupted natural societal progress. With the rise of social media, Yadagiri Sir ponders whether YouTube could become the next mainstream platform for journalism. Citing the example of Dhruv Rathee, who has reportedly influenced up to 20% of voters, he discusses how mobile phones have become the new 'AK47s' in the hands of the people, reshaping political discourse and the flow of information. Finally, Yadagiri Sir shares his thoughts on the Emergency of June 25th, 1975, revealing the harsh conditions of the time, including mass sterilization and the draconian actions of Sanjay Gandhi. In a thought-provoking discussion, he touches on the long-term changes to India's Constitution and the rise of systems like HYDRA that continue to influence the nation today.

#281: In today's rapidly evolving tech industry, many startups believe they can challenge the well-established giants by offering similar products with minor tweaks. However, this approach is fundamentally flawed. Companies like Amazon and Microsoft will absorb a few of these new competitors, while many others will simply disappear. The driving force behind this harsh reality isn't just competition; it's the absence of truly innovative products. The tech landscape is unforgiving to those who don't innovate. While it might seem tempting to follow the footsteps of successful giants like Adobe, Amazon, and Microsoft, the key to success lies in innovation and offering something new. Companies that fail to grasp this reality will find themselves disappearing into obscurity.

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Michael Fischer of AWS to discuss why we should use Graviton, their arm64 compute with AWS-designed CPUs.Graviton is AWS' term for their custom ARM-based EC2 instances. We now have all major clouds offering an ARM-based option for their server instances, but AWS was first, way back in 2018. Fast forward 6 years and AWS is releasing their 4th generation Graviton instances, and they deliver all the CPU, networking, memory and storage performance that you'd expect from their x86 instances and beyond.I'm a big fan of ARM-based servers and the price points that AWS gives us. They have been my default EC2 instance type for years now, and I recommend it for all projects I'm working on with companies.We get into the history of Graviton, how easy it is to build and deploy containers and Kubernetes clusters that have Graviton and even two different platform types in the same cluster.

South-east Asian countries appreciate there is no strategic balance in the region without the US, so they will find ways to deal with whoever is in the White House. Synopsis: Every fourth Friday of the month, The Straits Times' global contributor Nirmal Ghosh shines a light on Asian perspectives of global and Asian issues with expert guests. How South-east Asia - situated at the crossroads of Asia and the Pacific - sees and navigates growing tensions between China and the United States, is little understood outside the region.  Views of China in the region are mixed, with recent surveys showing that China is seen as a valuable partner, and yet not trusted. There is an appreciation that dealing with the US - whoever occupies the White House - is critical as Washington is seen as a strategic balancer.  Meanwhile, as the US deepens and expands an architecture of alliances across the Asia-Pacific, China has fewer friends and allies and has done little to assuage countries' concerns over what is, despite Beijing's professions to the contrary, seen as its hegemonic tendencies.  The United States' support of Israel's actions in Gaza, has also not gone down well in the region, which is dotted with either Muslim-majority countries, or countries with significant Muslim minorities.  In this episode of Asian Insider, Nirmal hosts Bilahari Kausikan, famously forthright former Permanent Secretary and former Ambassador-at-Large at Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Now the chairman of the Middle East Institute at the National University of Singapore, Bilahari lays out the regional perspective, and explains why - despite the real risk of an accident between the US and China over Taiwan - a war by design between the two big powers, is highly unlikely.  Highlights (click/tap above): 2:47 China: Neighbour with great opportunities yet displays hegemonic tendencies 4:01 Anxieties about Chinese behaviour and the US' balancing acts 7:05 "War by design between the US and China is highly unlikely": Bilahari Kausikan 11:27 "The Global South represents a mood rather than any coherent convergence of interests" 13:43 "To deal with China, you have to deal with the US" 14:10 Why the US does not bear the burden or pay any price to uphold international order Produced by: Nirmal Ghosh (nirmal@sph.com.sg) and Fa'izah Sani Edited by: Fa'izah Sani Follow Asian Insider with Nirmal Ghosh every fourth Friday of the month here: Channel: https://str.sg/JWa7 Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWa8 Spotify: https://str.sg/JWaX Website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg Follow Nirmal Ghosh on X: https://str.sg/JD7r Read Nirmal Ghosh's articles: https://str.sg/JbxG Register for Asian Insider newsletter: https://str.sg/stnewsletters --- Discover more ST podcast channels: All-in-one ST Podcasts channel: https://str.sg/wvz7  The Usual Place: https://str.sg/wEr7u  In Your Opinion: https://str.sg/w7Qt  COE Watch: https://str.sg/iTtE  Asian Insider: https://str.sg/JWa7  Health Check: https://str.sg/JWaN  Green Pulse: https://str.sg/JWaf  Your Money & Career: https://str.sg/wB2m  Hard Tackle: https://str.sg/JWRE  #PopVultures: https://str.sg/JWad  Music Lab: https://str.sg/w9TX  --- ST Podcast website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts  ST Podcasts YouTube: https://str.sg/4Vwsa --- Special edition series: True Crimes Of Asia (6 eps): https://str.sg/i44T  The Unsolved Mysteries of South-east Asia (5 eps): https://str.sg/wuZ2  Invisible Asia (9 eps): https://str.sg/wuZn  Stop Scams (10 eps): https://str.sg/wuZB  Singapore's War On Covid (5 eps): https://str.sg/wuJa  --- Get The Straits Times' app, which has a dedicated podcast player section: The App Store: https://str.sg/icyB  Google Play: https://str.sg/icyX  #STAsianInsiderSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Neil Cresswell and Steven Kang from Portainer to look at K2D, a new project that enables us to leverage Kubernetes tooling to manage Docker containers on tiny devices at the far edge.K2D stands for Kubernetes to Docker, which is a bit of a crazy idea -- it's a partial Kubernetes API running on top of Docker Engine without needing a full Kubernetes control plane. If you work with very small devices, including older Raspberry PIs, 32-bit machines, maybe industry sensors and the infrastructure we now call 'edge', the container hardware is often hard for you to make simple, reliable, and automated all at the same time. So this project uses less resources than a single node K3S and still allows you to use Kubernetes tools to deploy and manage your containers, which are in fact just running on a Docker Engine with no full-fledged Kubernetes distribution going on there.We get into far more detail on the architecture, the Portainer team's motivations for this new open source project and what its limitations are, because it's not real Kubernetes, so it can't do everything.Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show from March 28, 2024 on YouTube (Ep. 260).

AWS Finch: The Minimal Local Container Solution

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Phil Estes of AWS to show us the Finch project, which bundles the best open source tools for building and running containers locally. Now it runs on macOS and Windows WSL2.We've been talking with Phil about this show for months, and now that Finch has come to Windows, we thought it was the best time to clue you in as to why AWS created the Finch project and what it does. You're probably heard of containerd, the most popular container runtime on the planet and BuildKit, the best way, in my opinion, to build container images. Those two work hand in hand in Docker and many other container tools. But you might not have heard of nerdctl or Lima, which are also open source tools that work with containerd and BuildKit to help you run containers locally in a virtual machine. Well, AWS had the idea of making an easy installer for these four tools. That's how Finch was born. Finch is not meant to be a replacement of your existing way to run containers. The tools it installs are a bit of a minimum feature set, if you will, and more focused on providing people the exact tools AWS uses in its container platforms, mainly containerd and BuildKit, which are everywhere in AWS. Rather than building something that's feature equivalent to other local container solutions like Docker Desktop and Rancher Desktop, Finch keeps it simple and does the bare minimum.  If you just want an easily installable and minimal way to build and run local containers at the command line with no goofy, high-end fancy features, pure open source and just on Mac and Windows, at least at this point, you should give Finch a try.Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show from February 22, 2024 on YouTube (Ep. 255).★Topics★Finch WebsiteBret's local container runtime spreadsheetCreators & Guests Phil Estes - Guest Cristi Cotovan - Editor Beth Fisher - Producer Bret Fisher - Host Nirmal Mehta - Host (00:00) - Intro (00:35) - What is Finch?

Did we ramble on way too long in this episode? Absolutely! Is it jam-packed, filled minute to minute with informative and gripping content? Debatable... but we had fun recording it. One thing's for sure, and you know it's always a safe bet, is that we bring up fragrances from DS & Durga, Byredo, Arquiste, and of course, Ex Nihilo but in between talk about getting weird in the studio, 60-something art witches, and covering up cigar smoke with dryer sheets. We also discuss our favorite brands, a handful we're really crushing on right now, and a few that maybe need to step it up a bit.

It's good to be back after so long. After touring America and Europe I was itching to do a Simpleken episode. I had spoken to Nirmal and Abishek that I was very keen to pick their brains about their journey so far. I love also exploring what makes two very creative minds gravitate towards each other. They spoke about how they work together, feeling alienation from the scene and what the future lies for them. Hope you enjoy watching this as much as I did.__________________________________________________________Simple Ken is hosted by Kenny Sebastian, A stand up comedian known for his observational humour and quirky stage presence.A simple podcast about tackling the weekly conflicts of a comedian. You can Tweet/Youtube/ Instagram your questions/topics/queries discuss for the next week episode using the hashtag #simpleken.Simple Ken is available on all major podcasts platforms for free including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Stitcher, Gaana and Soundcloud.www.simpleken.com
