Cyclone names: An unusual place of camaraderie between nations

"Cyclone Tauktae" (pronounced as Tau'Te) would lose its meaning in front of a non-Burmese crowd. However, the cyclone name given by Myanmar, in Burmese, refers to a gecko, a highly vocal lizard known for its distinctive vocalizations. Cyclone names like the current one, Tauktae, are not picked out from thin air. Instead, a due process is followed to name the cyclones. They have come a long way from being lovers' names to an alliance between nations. According to folklores, in earlier days, the sailors named cyclones after their lovers. Later, to systematically record cyclones, different countries adopted different methods to label them. In Australia, they were named after corrupt politicians from the continent, whereas in America, the authorities started naming them after people's names. Some countries also used names of local flora and fauna for the cyclones to go by. Although dissolved in 2004, it was only from 1953 that the Miami National Hurricane Centre and the World Meteorolog

A step-by-step guide for Vadodarians testing positive for COVID19

  COVID cases in India are at the peak. Hence, precautionary measures need to be taken to stay safe. Firstly, if you have any symptoms like sore throat, fever, body ache, or diarrhea, try and get a test done. In a state of chaos, it is important for the test-takers to understand which test to take. The RT-PCR test is considered to be the "gold standard" whereas the Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) is a cheaper and a quicker way to get tested. However, it is a known fact that RAT has a lower level of accuracy and can give a high number of false negatives. According to the ICMR protocol, if RAT gives a negative result and an individual has symptoms of influenza-like illness, then they should undergo an RT-PCR test. While it might get difficult to get an RT-PCR test done promptly, a rapid test can be undertaken at any of the government hospitals for free without any prior
