MA&amp;UD minister KT Rama Rao will be inaugurating the newly completed 5 Foot-over-Bridges (FoBs) soon. Once open, the bridges will help pedestrians cross roads without the hassle of facing speeding traffic, thus avoiding road accidents.Following requests from Hyderabad and Cyberabad police commissionerates, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) took up the construction of 22 FoBs at major junctions that were identified as accident-prone zones.The five completed FoBs are situated near Hyderabad Central in Punjagutta, St Ann’s High School in Secunderabad, Neredmet bus stop, Swapna theatre in Rajendra Nagar, and near NSSK High School in Ferozguda.For all the five FoBs, works on walkways, staircase erection, roof sheeting, mild steel railing, the crash barrier, and flooring were completed. Lifts and escalators were also installed, with the costs adding up to Rs 16 crore.GHMC Engineer-in-Chief Mohd Ziauddin shares that GHMC took up the project to safely help pedestrians cross the roads. The FoBs would help pedestrians circumvent the streets completely, especially in busy areas with markets and malls, he adds.The state government has opted for a public-private partnership (PPP) agreement to build these as it is against the exploitation of FoBs through advertisements. Various departments have been asked to build FoBs from their budget as advertisements would make FoBs uglier.

The millennials are a smart lot. Luckily, it’s not just technology they are upgraded with; they are also smart when it comes to putting their monies. While many had savings and invested money in chits, they are now choosing to invest money in real estate.The pandemic has thrown open a lot of questions for humanity, and the new-age employees feel it is an ideal time to invest in property as realty could become unaffordable in coming years. Already, the cost of construction and the cost of properties had increased, following the little window when the prices were affordable during the pandemic.Many are investing in 3BHK apartments as they feel they now need bigger spaces as most of them are working from home. With both the spouses working, they feel it is a sensible investment. Youngsters in the IT industry, pharma, electronics, health, and other key sectors are investing in flats, independent houses, and plots.While the millennials are mostly into apartments, the middle-aged buyers are looking for plots as the prices would appreciate in years to come. According to CREDAI general secretary Rajasekhar Reddy, several banks are providing housing loans up to 80 to 90 percent, based on salaries, and this is helping the youngsters to invest.Also, the millennials are clever enough to buy houses that come relatively cheaply and are closer to amenities like schools, hospitals, workplaces, bus stops, and railway stations.

Millennials Investing in Property as Future Plans

Imagine watching a movie in Korean sitting right here. Now, that happens or has been happening for quite a few years, right, thanks to subtitles. But were there instances when you were busy following the subtitles, and you missed out on a crucial scene in the film? To solve this problem and make the watching more seamless, two Ph.D. scholars from the International Institute of Information Technology – IIIT-H’s Centre for Visual Information have come up with a deep tech Artificial Intelligence web app.The software is already patented by a start-up called NeuralSync AI, mentored by IIIT-H. It can morph authentic-looking speeches with a single video clip of a human or digital avatar. And this, the app can do within minutes in the language of your choice. For example, if it is integrated into Netflix, then you can have the luxury of watching the movie of your choice in the language of your choice.NeuralSync’s Way2Lip is a compact video editor with an AI algorithm that is trained to generate accurate lip movement based on the target’s speech. Apparently, the project is already a hit as per NeuralSync’s software developers Rudrabha Mukhopadhyay and Prajwal KR and CEO Pavan Reddy.They reveal that they have already been getting offers worth several thousands of dollars. Incidentally, the US-patented technology owned by IIIT-H was invented by Rudrabha, Prajwal, Prof C Jawahar, and Prof Vinay Namboodiri.As of now, the app takes 45 seconds to make one minute of video, and they say they are working on bringing down the time to 15-20 seconds. This also means that the operating costs will be cut down drastically. Just about all European and Asian languages can be dubbed using the app, though for now, Mandarin is a challenge to it.NeuralSync is pretty clear with regards to its future direction and says they are now keen on targeting e-learning entities to create e-learning videos and marketing video films. Then, they are also in talks with a few metaverse companies in China. However, their ultimate goal is films, for which they will create their product in a small Google Chrome extension. They have already made a pact with a Bollywood producer to execute a few scenes.

They now intend to make it har Ghar ki Dawa from being a har marz ki Dawa.Be it a headache, muscular pains, cold, cough, or nausea, it is considered a one-shot cure by many. If one goes back in time, one is left wondering if Hakeem Mohammed Moizuddin Farooqui discovered the wonder potion in a ramshackle building in Nimboli Adda in 1920 knew that it would be in demand a hundred years later also. However, it is a much sought-after over-the-counter medicine and the first choice of many.While the primary formula remains the same, Zinda Tilismath has seen many variations as it is available as tooth powder, liquid formulation, and cough lozenges. And henceforth, it will be available as a balm.Ironically, when Zinda Tilismath first hit the market, it happened when the Spanish flu broke out. And now, when it completed 100 years, the city was in the grip of Coronavirus. In fact, its sales shot up as many took it as an immunity booster.The founder’s only surviving son Masihuddin Farooqui was present at the celebrations, and Imad Farooqui and his cousin Sohail Farooqui shared that their grandfather started the business with just 3 lakh vials.&nbsp;Incidentally, right now, the production has shot up to 70 lakh vials, and the entire process is totally automated. However, the company has made sure that all manpower is put to use in some other place as per the founder’s wishes.ZT uses Nizam’s crown or dastar as its trademark, and its logo happens to be a colored man, which marks the strength of Siddis, the African Cavalry Guard of the Nizam. ZT balm will be available in packs of 1gm, which is priced at Rs 2, and 10 gm, which is priced at Rs 35.
