H ow often do you hear of an everyday
automation start-up found-

age entrepreneur? Not every day.
And yet such a start-up has been
formulated by an unconventional
duo - Arjit Nanda, an entrepreneur
and Miraan Rai, a 12-year-old coder,
who have decided to jump in on the
start-up bandwagon. Arijit and Niran
teamed up to create AM Dustbin.
 AM Dustbin is the first utility-based product
in the market from the duo. The bin detects
motion and opens and closes its lid
automatically. It enables contact-

ference between the other dustbins
in the market and the AM Dustbin is
that it can be used in dual mode.

The Bermuda Triangle Impact of Covid-19 on child labour

s the Bermuda Triangle paranormal or sci-

I entifically explained? In the 1800s the ship USS

Pickering, on course from Guadeloupe to
Delaware, lost 90 people on board. In the 1940s, on
December 5th, 1945 flight 19 was lost with 14 air-
men in it and later the same day PBM Mariner
Bu No 59225 lost 13 airmen while searching for
Flight 19. In short, a lot of ships, aircraft and air-
planes have mysteriously disappeared leaving no
traces when they were on the boundary of the
Bermuda triangle. Some ships were abandoned
for no apparent reasons, some transmitted no dis-
tress signals and disappeared that were never seen
or heard from again. However, no wreckage has
been found. The Bermuda Triangle is a section of
the North Atlantic Ocean whose boundaries are
not universally agreed upon and has a vaguely
marked triangular shape marked by the Florida
panhandle [in the United States], Bermuda and
the Greater Antilles. There are a lot of
theories that explain these continuous
disappearances, some theories are fan-
ciful and others are paranormal or su-
pernatural theories. There are a few pop-
ular realistic and reasonable explana-
tions. One hypothesis is that the pilots

that a girl from Tamil Nadu had

child labour has also many risks
like harassments, life risks
[working in industries] and
many more. Even after back to
normalcy many of them will not
have the will to come to school
again, because they are earning
by doing work. The literacy rate
will also decrease. This happens

After a roller-coaster ride, Shreyas Iyer receives Test cap from the legendary Gavaskar
F I
rom hospital bed to Test de-
but, it's been a roller-coaster
ride for Shreyas Iyer. Crick-
eters getting injured are not
a new thing, but recovering
from injury and getting a Test cap is a
good achievement for anyone.
Iyer posted a video on Instagram on
Tuesday, in which he shared visuals of
his treatment. And then he showed pic-
tures of a photoshoot in Test jersey. He
became India's 303rd Test cricketer as
he got the Test cap from the legendary
Sunil Gavaskar before the start of the
first Test against New Zealand at Green
Park Stadium in Kanpur on Wednesday.
A Test cap has come after 4592 first-
class runs in 54 matches at an average
of 52.18. Iyer made his ODI debut back
in 2017, played 54 limited-overs match-
es. He scored 1393 runs at an average of
42.7 in ODIs and 27.6 in T20Is. Seeing his
ability to score runs freely, it was be-
lieved that sooner or later he will be in-
cluded in the Test squad.
On Thursday BCCI uploaded a video
in which a certain kind of serenity can
be seen on Iyer's face. He was seen re-
ceiving a pep talk from Gavaskar as
INJURY WOES
After dislocating his shoulder in an ODI
against England in Pune on March 23,
Iyer had to stay away from the field for
a long time. He had to undergo surgery
in the UK and was also ruled out of
appearing for Lancashire in the Royal
London Cup. He did not play in the first
part of IPL held in India in early 2021.
From him, Rishabh Pant took over the
command of Delhi Capitals. Iyer went
for rehabilitation and came back for the
second part of the IPL. After the IPL,
Shreyas was picked for the Team India
T20I squad but could not become a part
of the T20 World Cup team.
