MODULAR CONSTRUCTION

Modular construction is a method in which an entire unit of the building is constructed off-site rather than smaller , structural components as with pre - cast construction.

Modular units require the least amount of on-site construction time , as pull plumbing , electrical and even design finishes have typically already been installed in the facility.

Modular units are just assembled together to form a completed building. 

Modular building are very versatile and well suited for building such as hotels , apartments , students housing and any other types that typically consist of many repetitive units serving similar functions.

As modular building spend more time in off-site facilities , the condition are under even greater control for a larger portion of the entire process , which results in the prefabrication techniques for large-scale commercial construction.

Modular construction projects produces much lower waste than the conventional construction as same building planes are constantly used. The controlled environment of the assembling factory also allow for more accurate construction while allowing the extra materials to be recycled in house. 

Modular construction is a safer , more economical , faster construction and time saving.

"Squid Game"

 

I binged watched this series from start to end , and its extremely rare for me to do so. The series overall is very vibrant , will keep you on the edge , actors have done a wonderful job, every other character development are far better than the main character. 

This is a South Korean series available on Netflix . It was written and directed by Hwang Dong - hyuk .

Released on Sept. 17 , is a nine episode series. Squid Game is the first Korean Drama to hit the NO. 1 spot on Netflix , reaching that milestones just four days after its release. 

In Squid Game , a group of 456 people from all walks of life are invited to play a series of children games with life threatening consequences to have a chance to win a 45.6 billions prize.

The games are simple and easy , so viewers can give more focus on each character rather than complex game rules.

 

This series has something for everyone , it is emotional dramatic , comedic at times and has enough blood scenes for suspense to enjoy. 

I think the slow tackles all these issues masterfully. Even in the end , it ask- What would you do if you survived and had all the money? Would you be able to spend it carefully after seeing 455 people dying ? 

In short , it leaves us with the message that the game is still on.

Problems that men face on the wrong use of feminism

you must have heard about that girl who filed a false case of dowry against her husband , to ruining his life.
and the boy manav 17th year old boy from Gurgaon committed suicide because of fake rape case by a girl on him and threatened by girl for a sexual harassment. He couldn't handle the pressure and he just committed suicide.

ladka tha esliye jane diya 

ladki hoti toh candel march nikalte 

has anyone ever raised voice for this ?

    NO

a few months back , 

in roadies season 18 ....you must have seen that neha dhupia abuse her contestant because her contestant said that his girlfriend was cheating on him with five boyfriends , and then he slapped her for doing this to him. Then neha dhupia said that "it's her choice" whether to be with 5-7 , how the fuck did you slap a girl. If she was with five , may be the problem is with you.

it is clear from this that even if the girl does wrong , she is always right and if the boy does wrong , he is hypocrite.

sometime ago in noida 

3 students of Amity University , Noida were beaten and thrashed , by 20-25 people outside the collage campus over a minor parking dispute.

this story started when  Divaker Tyagi , Harsh Yadev and Sourav Pradham were coming for collage by a car. And on the way to the campus a car was parked in which two girls were sit.They didn't even ask the girls to give them a way , they told the guard to give them a way. But the girls refused to move and started the fight.Guard intervened and helped them get the car inside. But the girls started to abuse and threaten them. Harsh and Divanker get out of the car to talk to the girls about the argument. But the girls kept threatening. Boys decided to let thing cool and went to the class.

After an hour , the girls brought 20-25 boys inside their class. Teacher refused them to enter the class but they don't listen to teacher. And they started to fight with Harsh and Divaker. Many students were hurt during the whole incident. Then , the boys leave the class. Out of fear , they called the PCR (Police Control Romm) van. While Harsh and his friend Madhav were waiting outside for the PCR van. And then , 25-30 people came towards them with rode , stones , sticks and bricks and started beating. The injured were taken to hospital by their friends.

In society , we often get too emotional if any crime against women comes up in the news and that's absolutely justified.

Suicide rate for men is almost double of that of women in India , this means that they are more prone to stress or they are not allowed to show their emotions which eventually leads to depression.

Feminism is just advocacy of women's rights and the equality of the sexes.
