Among all, I was sitting alone and watching closely the rituals of function. My husband came to me and asked to participate in the function but I was not interested as I wanted to remain away from the crowd.

I was scrolling through messages and videos on my mobile to pass the time. I was thrilled to see the projects I have completed recently and planning to grab challenging professional tasks in my area of command. While engaging in mobile, my relatives called to perform some rituals along with them. I had to go to participate in traditional activities. After the rituals were over, we all gathered in the dining hall for traditional dinner. I was waiting for the crowd to settle. Again, I started checking my mobile and I saw several messages related to my profession. I thought that I would reply later. Now people were dispersed and I was approaching to have dinner.

Suddenly, I received a call from an unknown member showing a location near the hospital. I wanted to take up the call but it was stranger so I ignored it. At that moment, I felt restless. With a pale mood, I was having my dinner. After dinner, I saw several missed calls from the same number. I thought it may be a serious matter so I called back. It was the voice of a young boy. He was very polite and requested me for financial help because his grandfather was critical and hospital staff were not admitting due to being unable to deposit money for treatment. I immediately asked how did you get my number. He replied that when you visited a bank and counseled a needy person, I was impressed to know the noble feelings of yours about others. I was there to withdraw money for the exam fee. You also shared a mobile number to the person and I registered that number for future career support. He further requested that he was in trouble and your support may save the life of his grandfather.  Please mam, I will return the money but this time your help will revive me from a critical situation. I can understand that I am a stranger and no one can rely on an unknown person. He told me that I can send the details about the examination he appeared in. I was in a puzzling situation because he was asking for a large amount of money for treatment and none of the family members would allow me to give money to strangers.

I had some money in my savings account and finally I decided to support the stranger financially. I told him that I will deposit the required amount as an emergency fund in the hospital bank account for treatment. He was very happy and thanked me with a hoarse voice. I felt that a stranger was really in trouble and my support will save the life of a dying person. Meanwhile, I sent the email to the hospital administration and local government office to offer all possible help. This initiative was not admired by others and I was told that such frauds happen frequently in the surrounding area. Then I was quite upset.

After a month, I received a message in my WhatsApp no.  from the same hospital. They informed me that the person whom I helped in critical condition survived. I was very happy. Few days passed; I was on the way to the shopping mall, and suddenly a grand vehicle stopped near me and a young and dashing person came out with aarti thali. He instantly touched my feet and gave me aarti of one of the famous temples. I couldn’t understand what was happening with me. He elaborated the whole story that you supported me financially with my grandfather’s critical health condition. I was helpless at that time. Because of your financial and moral support, He survived and strengthened my mind to focus on my career that was in a sensitive phase. I succeeded in the administrative examination and with your blessings, now I am holding one of the top government positions. How can I forget you? You believed me as a stranger and your kindness really shaped my persona. He returned my money as well as extended several services that I struggle with in daily life. Now I have a son and have a strong emotional bonding.

It is hard to believe in strangers but sometimes we have to think logically to extend our support to strangers through verifying with government tools and helping them in a safe manner.  There are fraudsters in our surroundings but we should comprehend the people who really need support at some stages of their life.

Cloud seeding: Experiment or beneficial procedure to improve air quality in polluted regions

Whether modification is an effective practice to enhance human living and stay healthy. In highly polluted regions, where air quality index threatens human health, cloud seeding may be the viable option to clean the atmosphere and augment life of living creatures.

Cloud seeding induces artificial rain that enhances the cloud's ability to make rain or snow, along with controlling weather hazards that can be dangerous for species on earth.  According to scientists, Cloud seeding can be helpful for weather modification in polluted areas. In simple terms, Cloud seeding consists of dispersion of chemicals that include silver iodide over the clouds for rain to happen. In the cloud seeding process, clouds are inoculated with salts like silver iodide, potassium iodide, sodium chloride, or dry ice, which is symbolized as the "seed". These salts are disseminated to provide extra nuclei from more cloud droplets that depend on the temperature conditions within the clouds.

Main purpose of cloud seeding is to settle down toxic air pollutants through rain. Dark aspect of cloud seeding is the use of several chemicals that may be harmful to living species, people, and results in abrupt climatic patterns such as creating drought conditions where can may occur. This may be because of adopting the artificial process of adding chemicals to the atmosphere to stimulate rain.

When air quality index is worsened due to human activity such as excessive use of diesel generators, producing industrial waste or vehicle smoke. These pollutants can choke the environment and lead to deadly health conditions. Consequently, scientists can recommend cloud seeding as an effective procedure to induce artificial rain to modify the weather conditions. Cloud seeding technology is intended to clean toxic smog in the atmosphere with rain for the survival of inhabitants.

Quick review: The world is facing challenging climatic patterns that negatively impact on the health of people, animals and other species. War, human actions are major causes of creating poisonous climatic conditions.  To resolve such grave conditions, scientists propose clouds as a potential solution to purify atmospheric air and an effective tool to save humans living in hazardous conditions. Cloud seeding is a technical procedure of weather modification through forming larger water droplets and inducing artificial rain which can augment human life.
