Uncertain or pushed sleep hours could lead to a variety of issues, say the psychologists and psychiatrists. It has become a norm for many to work at odd hours and work into late hours due to match timings elsewhere in the world. So, many people return home from work at around 10.30 to 11 pm, and this causes sleep disorders in many.After putting in long hours, they feel they need ‘me time’ and indulge in revenge at bedtime. This is something that has become a norm among most employed in the city. Many of them feel they have to push their sleep time to watch television or something on an OTT platform just to feel relaxed. This also often leads to late-night snacking, and this results in various psychosomatic conditions, warn psychologists and psychiatrists.In many cases, people get so involved in their ‘me time’ that they end up not having sufficient sleep. While they do not take any discounts when it comes to food, they cut down on their sleep time. This is alarming, say those in the mental health segment.Some people say they sleep during the afternoons. However, psychologists and psychiatrists say that such sleep relaxes the body but does not relax the mind. Sleeplessness also leads to obesity and heart disorders, they say. Though some people assume they can follow a scattered pattern and set their own timings, there is nothing like having a good eight hours of sleep, they insist.

We have been reading many articles about how young women spotted a hidden camera above a shelf in a washroom. Recently there was news that two students filmed a young lady in a trial room of a mall in Jubilee Hills. It goes without saying, women in the city are worried as they tend to go out quite often these days, and one cannot keep checking every nook and corner for hidden cameras.While some might brush these off as one-off incidents, prevention, as they say, is better than cure. One person who has made it his mission to create awareness among women and the public in general regarding these matters happens to be Rupesh Mittal, founder of city-based organization Cyber Jagrithi Foundation, the first organization of its kind in South Asia.Rupesh has some tips for those who are obviously worried about the way things are happening:As most cameras work via the internet, it is better to switch on Wi-Fi and look for questionable networks. If you feel unsafe, immediately move out.There are infrared camera detectors available in the market that cost about Rs 400 to Rs 500 on e-commerce websites.All cameras have dark lenses. So check the room thoroughly. Turn on brighter lights if there are dark areas in the room. Bulbs could have cameras too, so if you find a black spot on them, don't dismiss it as a design or an insect. Also, there could be a hidden camera in adapters.There have been instances of people hiding cameras in LED bulbs, be aware.Last, make sure that the mirrors are not double-layered. One way to find that out is to place your finger horizontally against the mirror. If the end of the mirror touches the reflection of your finger in the mirror, it's a double-layered mirror, and you are surely being recorded.And most importantly, when you find such a device, immediately call the police—dial 100. You will be redirected to the nearest police station, and a cop will arrive at the location. Don't make the mistake of alerting the management before calling the police. Evidence could have been tampered with, or worse still, the footage can be leaked by miscreants.

The gang rape of a 17-yr-old girl happened in the posh Anniversary Hills in Hyderabad on May 28.Since then, the police have been on the task of getting the modus operandi of the crime. However, now the investigating officers say the crime was in fact pre-planned as the rapists used condoms while committing the crime.It is known that semen samples are collected from the victim which are used to track the culprits and prove them guilty. However, in this case, the boys were quite ‘smart’ and used condoms to ensure they do not get caught after the crime. While one of the boys was 18, the others were aged between 16 and 17. One boy, who happens to be the MLA’s son, is one month short of turning 18.Right now, the police are waiting for the potency report from Osmania General Hospital which will make the case stronger.

Hence, the place is a treasure trove for those looking for spare parts for vehicles and electronic goods.However, when the market started in the good old days, people went there to shop for used clothes, utensils, rickshaws, spare parts of bicycles, tools, etc. It was all about buying miscellaneous stuff, reminisces Farooq Taher, principal of a government school in Rein Bazaar.Jummerat Bazaar means Thursday night market in Urdu. It has been a weekly ritual in older parts of the city, even when there were no malls and shopping complexes. And now, the market is drawing crowds from the new city who want to head to the Musi river banks to see the weekly spectacle and soak in the culture.However, of late, the bazaar is more about finding plasticware, carpets, mats, tools, vehicle spare parts, second-hand electronic gadgets, mobile phones, chargers, etc. Over 500 vendors set up shop every Thursday, and the shopping begins at the break of dawn at 5 am.

Of late, most visitors include electricians, plumbers, mechanics, and others who hunt for spare parts of old and rare stuff. One can also find some antiques with some luck.But the market's main attraction is two stalls where pressure cookers, bed sheets, pillow covers, mattresses, electronic gadgets, and other things are put up for auction.
