SRINAGAR, KASHMIR: The Vale Dweller announces a new arresting voice in Kashmiri fiction. With book endorsements from writers such as Shakoor Rather, Nayeema Mahjoor and JCB nominated author Shabir Ahmad Mir, this poignant novel written by columnist turned fiction writer Naveed Qazi tries to embody itself as a literary plea for a transformative change in Kashmir towards peace, prosperity, and is a rational attempt of literature involving intellectual and philosophical realms.

First self-published in 2019 by Amazon KDP, the novel is pitched by New Delhi based The Book Bakers Literary Agency, and is traditionally published by Alcove Publishers. In its 194 pages, the author laments on identity crises, economic troubles of the city, hostile political awakenings, political corruption and transcends the nature of storytelling due to usage of symbolisms, and a parable forming nature, due to multi-faceted characters. As there are several fictional places, made up organisations, and other strong imaginary things presented in the book’s universe, there are dashes of magical realism as well.
While the story mostly revolves around a neighbourhood, the novel, in its strong character arcs, involving several unusual characters, even generalises the human dimensions and turbulency of Kashmir since 1990s.

The characters consist of an introspective protagonist, a bibliophile friend working as part-time editor, a university professor turned politician, an assassination survivor, an old writer imparting stories to his scribes, a jail bird activist, a catch all revolutionary columnist, a moral centric bookseller and other minor characters that emerge through the story in an interesting manner.

The Vale Dweller is a narrative experiment about the contemporary life of the place in a coming-of-age story, through a bildungsroman type of narrative. What strikes the chord with the reader is the perpetual confusion which the youth has been sucked into. The story is dark, disturbing and challenges certain notions of Kashmiri psyche as well.

The book is not only an elegy for the city’s newest problems, but it also serves as an expression of esteem for Kashmir’s cultural and social past, witnessed during the years after the partition through a certain form of nostalgia, where the life still had mundane, simple, and feudal aspects to it.

In a modern world where early childhood development is crucial, Tinyvers is transforming how infants, babies, and toddlers learn and grow. The foundation of their lifelong learning in young children begins as they are born.

The Tinyvers Early Learning Program offers an innovative approach for children ages 0 to 3 years, blending Montessori philosophy with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) principles for early education. This program by Tinyvers aims to bridge the educational gap before preschool, focusing on holistic development through play.

The Tinyvers Early Learning Framework supports simulating children’s development with a systematic approach starting from exploration, observation, and interactions like asking, predicting, researching, and drawing conclusions that encourage natural learning. That is why Tinyvers have designed, Tinyvers Monthly Montessori boxes and Tinyvers Activity Kits, which are purely designed towards achieving cognitive development, motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and social interactions.

Tinyvers is bridging the early educational gap before preschool and parent-child bonding through play and catering to new parents, working parents, and established parents who prioritize educational values that are developmental-friendly and child-safe play options, such as wooden toys over plastic or harmful toys with developmental growth, as one million neural connections are formed every second in the early years.

With a scientifically validated approach using the Tinyvers early learning framework, Tinyvers ensures that each toy meets the specific developmental needs of infants, babies, and toddlers, supporting early brain development and learning.

Tinyvers understands what babies and toddlers need at various developmental stages, and Tinyvers have designed to simulate young minds using a variety of age-appropriate activities with experts according to their age that make tinyvers toys the right toys at the right age with no pressure on children’s.

Tinyvers team has worked with experts to ensure that the toys support cognitive, physical, and social skills at each phase of a child’s early life. Tinyvers offers parental resources and guidance that empowers parents with knowledge and skills at their convenience through a one-time purchase or subscription, which saves time and effort in selecting age-appropriate educational toys and materials in each box with child-safe, eco-friendly products that support parent-child bonding and provide long-term value to nurture a child’s growth from infancy to toddlerhood.

“We believe that every child deserves the best start in life, which begins with effective early education,” states Dilip Shankar, CEO and Managing Director of Tinyvers by Pereyan LLP, a Bangalore-based startup specializing in early childhood development. “Many parents begin to worry about their child’s future at preschool age, overlooking the crucial brain growth that occurs in the early years.” With a background in research and development in medical science and technology, Dilip Shankar emphasizes the holistic approach of Tinyvers. “Our play products are designed not only to foster academic skills but also to support social, emotional, and physical development. We collaborate with over 100 multidisciplinary experts to ensure our products meet developmental needs, helping to educate parents about the importance of early learning.”

Collaboration was a central theme, with Mr. Meghdut RoyChowdhury championing partnerships as drivers of growth and innovation. The partnership between the PhD Chamber of Commerce, edge entrepreneurs, and Invest India highlighted this focus and presented India’s new age energy and potential to the world.

Significantly, the discussions at the World Economic Forum also highlighted the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in shaping the global economic landscape. With India at the forefront of this revolution, Mr. Meghdut RoyChowdhury emphasized the critical role AI plays in enhancing business operations, governance, and societal welfare. He pointed out successful AI initiatives in India that are setting benchmarks in healthcare, agriculture, and smart cities, showcasing how technology can be harnessed to solve real-world problems efficiently. The forum served as an excellent platform to demonstrate how Indian innovations in AI are not only technologically advanced but also socially inclusive, further reinforcing India’s position as a global hub for cutting-edge technology and innovation.

Looking ahead, Mr. Meghdut RoyChowdhury wants to see increased representation from West Bengal at Davos, like the strong presence of other Indian states promoting their achievements. He believes that a larger, more focused effort will further amplify New Age India’s dynamism and optimism on global platforms.

Mr. Meghdut Roy Chowdhury concludes that India’s success at Davos depends on collaborative efforts and a unified commitment to advancing the nation’s interests on the international stage.

About House Of Zelena :

Hina Priyadarshini, a techie & mother of two, founded House of Zelena driven by her own struggle to find suitable clothing during and after her pregnancies. Her expertise as an AI-ML practitioner, coupled with experience in cutting-edge technology projects, fuelled her determination to address this gap. Joining her in this endeavour is her spouse, Mayank Kamal, an IIM alumnus with a distinguished background. He has held senior leadership positions at leading companies like Myntra and IndiaMART, as well as various social commerce startups.

The Problems New Mothers face:

Over 72% of mothers do not revert to their pre-pregnancy body shape even three years postpartum. This insight led House of Zelena to recognize that a new mothers’ body doesn’t align with standard or plus sizes, prompting the introduction of the term ‘new mom fit’. House of Zelena conducted one-on-one video surveys with 1000+ new and expecting mothers, gathering statistically significant insights about changes in body measurements during and after pregnancy. With accurate measurements in hand, the company then embarked on developing proprietary fabrics, collaborating with esteemed suppliers to bring truly innovative products to the market, specifically designed for new mothers. And now, after extensive research and development, House of Zelena proudly presents its latest creation –

The Importance of Community Support: Empowering Mothers to Thrive and Overcome Postpartum Challenges

Approximately 70 per cent of mothers endure moderate to severe postpartum depression. In nuclear families, pregnant women often feel cut off from friends, leading to loneliness. Social media adds pressure to be perfect, causing stress and guilt. This can make mothers overlook their own health, leading to more problems.

In response to these challenges, the House Of Zelena Community provides a nurturing and secure environment where mothers can connect, share experiences, and learn from each other.

It’s reported that over 90 per cent of mothers in this community have experienced a significant improvement in their physical and mental well-being after joining, underscoring the positive impact of communal support and shared experiences.

As a company based in both Dubai and India, SGU Project Management Group forayed into different businesses over a period of time. While certain organizations establish themselves in one or two fields or chart a growth-based path with time, SGU Management Group has a different approach. The organization decided to set foot into different industries and build a distinctive identity for itself through its innovative methods and ground-breaking ideas. After firmly establishing its presence in India and Dubai, the company now wants to expand in both these countries and also offer its services in many other countries across the world.

Elaborating on the same, a spokesperson from SGU Management Group says, “Both Dubai and India have emerged as investor-friendly destinations. Owing to the business-friendly policies in these two countries, we were able to expand our organization very well and offer our expertise and services across a variety of industries. We have had a great journey so far and now, we plan to get into a new and exciting phase in which we will be executing many other important expansion plans that we have designed meticulously. We recently set up a few businesses in Singapore. We will be expanding into other countries very soon.”

In the last few years, artificial intelligence, or AI has caught the attention of people across the world. From creating content to keeping a tab on business activities, people have already been using AI in different ways. While some fear that AI will render several people jobless, many are of the firm belief that having a good knowledge of AI will actually lead to further job creation and help industries accelerate their growth faster. Through its acquired branch of Synergy Universal in India, SGU Management Group plans to offer advanced services with the help of AI.

“Over the last several months, our experts have studied AI extensively. As a technology, AI is evolving with every passing day. We continue to observe its evolution closely and are determined to bring further innovations to it so that our partners and clients can benefit from it. From healthcare to entertainment, AI has proved to be a disruptive force in almost every industry. We will use it to propel the growth of your businesses forward and also guide other organizations in implementing it in a way that it helps them to scale further”, says the spokesperson.

After recently setting up a branch in Singapore, SGU Project Management Group will soon be registering its presence in several other countries. The organization will be expanding in a planned manner and is also ready to venture into industries it had not explored as yet. It will also continue to grow in India and Dubai across multiple verticals.

On the night of 20 April, the Bitcoin network experienced its fourth halving. Having broad general economic implications, this process is important for the entire cryptocurrency world and not solely for Bitcoin holders.

The 2024 Bitcoin halving, which crypto investors have been expecting for four years, has been finalized. The reward per block has been reduced from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. The next cut will occur in 2028, with the reward reduced to 1.5625 BTC. The ultimate 64th halving will occur around the year 2140, which will mean that all 21 million coins have been mined, and the issuance of new Bitcoins will cease. Once this happens, the miners will have to find other ways to make money in the crypto world.

How does halving affect the Bitcoin price?

At the time of writing, the Bitcoin exchange rate is around $57,000. Many analysts expect the halving to catalyze further BTC price growth in the long term.

Historically, with each new cycle following a halving event, the price of Bitcoin reached a new high. For example, in late 2013, about a year after the first halving, Bitcoin reached the $1,200 mark. The next market cycle peaked at $20k per Bitcoin in late 2017 and went up to $69k in late 2021 before collapsing again. However, in the last six months, the value of BTC has already risen by about 140%. In comparison, over the same period, the price of Ethereum, the second most crucial cryptocurrency, has only increased by 85%.

‘The current situation is unique: Bitcoin, for the first time, exceeded the previous high before halving, reaching $73,000 in March 2024′, said Kar Yong Ang, Octa Broker financial analyst. He added that demand from the U.S. bitcoin ETFs launched in January was a vital factor in that price rise.

At the same time, miners’ revenues will drop by exactly half. As a result, they will have to spend twice as much time and twice as much electricity to get the usual amount of cryptocurrency. And since energy is not cheap, the weakest players are expected to leave the market. In other words, we expect a supply shortage against the backdrop of increasing demand.

Conclusion

The halving of Bitcoin is a milestone in the history of the major cryptocurrency, which shows its limited issuance and inherent mechanisms to protect against inflation. Many believe that Bitcoin, with its deflationary model, is well positioned to become a reliable store of value in an unstable global economy, much like traditional gold—but only digitally.

If we draw historical parallels, Bitcoin should enter an intense growth phase around the end of 2024, after which it should exceed $200,000. The current conditions are very different from those observed in 2020 because the demand for cryptocurrency is extremely high due to ETFs, and its deficit is already felt today.
