People who listen to music while working might be making their brain work harder than those who don't, says behaviour science

Listening to music while working may seem like an easy way to stay focused, but songs with lyrics can give the brain another stream of information to process. Research has found that lyrical music can interfere with tasks involving memory and language, while instrumental music appears to have a smaller effect. The impact still depends on the type of work and the person, but demanding tasks may be better suited to instrumental music or silence.

Govt adding to peoples miseries: Altaf Bukhari

Srinagar, Aug 22: Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Saturday accused the elected government of adding to the hardships faced by people instead of addressing their grievances, warning that his party would oppose any move to further burden consumers, including a hike in power tariffs. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a party event, Bukhari said the Apni Party would continue to raise issues affecting the public and oppose decisions that increase their financial burden. We will not allow the implementation of any decision that further burdens the people, including a hike in the power tariff. We will oppose any such move tooth and nail, even if we have to take to the streets, he said. The remarks came during an event organised to felicitate Haji Mohammad Syed Akhoon, who was recently appointed as Apni Party Vice President after joining the party. Congratulating Akhoon, Bukhari said the veteran leader brought extensive political experience and knowledge that would strengthen the partys efforts to serve the people. He said the Apni Party did not judge its leaders and workers by their positions and described it as a platform focused on public welfare rather than any individual or family. Bukhari also said the party was committed to creating better opportunities for young people, particularly in employment, so they could build their lives with dignity. Reacting to the recent Kishtwar tragedy involving a minor girl, Bukhari described the incident as deeply painful and shocking and called for severe punishment for those responsible. He urged the police and civil administration to conduct a fast-track investigation. On US Ambassador Sergio Gors recent remarks describing Jammu and Kashmir as an important part of India, Bukhari said the statement merely reflected a fact. Of course, Jammu and Kashmir is an important and integral part of India, he said, while stressing that people in J&K should enjoy the rights and privileges guaranteed to every citizen under the Constitution. Bukhari also called for greater attention to the hardships faced by youth in Jammu and Kashmir, saying there was an urgent need to address their concerns and provide them with opportunities.

Bouncing your foot to music without consciously noticing it does not necessarily reveal anything unusual about your personality. It may simply be a natural example of rhythmic entrainment, in which the brain responds to the timing and rhythm of the music. As the music establishes a predictable pattern, the brain begins anticipating its rhythm, and the body may naturally move along with it.

NC govt betrays people again: Sunil Sharma on power tariff hike

Srinagar, Aug 22: Leader of Opposition in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, Sunil Sharma, on Saturday strongly criticised the National Conference (NC)-led government over the reported 6.83 per cent increase in electricity tariffs, terming the move a betrayal of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Sharma said the NC had come to power with a clear promise of providing 200 units of free electricity to every household, but nearly two years after the 2024 Assembly elections, the commitment remained unfulfilled. Instead, he said, consumers were now being burdened with higher electricity bills. The NC government promised 200 units of free electricity to every household. But instead of fulfilling that commitment, people are now facing an increase in electricity tariffs. This is not relief; it is a betrayal of the trust placed in the government, Sharma said. He said the 6.83 per cent tariff hike, expected to come into effect from September 1, would further increase the financial burden on ordinary families already struggling with inflation and rising household expenses. Sharma said the development highlighted a stark contradiction between the NCs electoral promises and its performance in government. Before the elections, the promise was 200 units of free electricity; after the elections, the reality is higher electricity bills. The government must explain why the promises made to the people have not been fulfilled, he said. The Leader of Opposition also questioned the Omar Abdullah-led governments commitment to the NCs manifesto promise of providing 200 units of free electricity. The people of Jammu and Kashmir deserve answers, not slogans. The NC must explain where the promised 200 units of free electricity are and why, instead of fulfilling its commitment, the government is increasing the burden on consumers, Sharma said. Sharma warned that the BJP would continue to raise the concerns of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and hold the NC-led government accountable for the promises made during the 2024 Assembly elections.

This Govt is made to trouble people: Altaf Bukhari slams 6.83% power tariff hike

Srinagar, Aug 22: Apni Party president Altaf Bukhari has hit out at the government over the 6.83 per cent increase in electricity tariffs in Jammu and Kashmir, saying he was not surprised by the move and accusing the government of taking steps that would trouble the people. Bukhari was speaking to reporters during a felicitation function for Muhammad Syed Akhoon, who has recently joined the Apni Party. It was a felicitation function for Muhammad Syed Akhoon, who has recently joined our Jamaat. We all wanted to celebrate this day as a happy day, Bukhari said. Asked about reports that electricity bills would increase from September 1, Bukhari said, I am not surprised at all. I think this government is made to trouble people. He said he would not be surprised if the government took what he described as a selfish step, but assured people that his party would make efforts to oppose such measures. Maybe they will take such a selfish step. But we assure people that we will do our best to stop these people from doing such things, he said. We will see that we will not let these draconian measures to trouble people, Bukhari added. The remarks came against the backdrop of the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commissions approval of an average 6.83 per cent increase in electricity tariffs, with the revised rates scheduled to take effect from September 1. During the interaction, Bukhari also spoke about womens safety and the recent incident in Kishtwar. He said women were not safe anywhere and described the situation as a matter of shame. Women are not safe anywhere. It is a matter of bad luck, he said. We are ashamed. Is this Jammu and Kashmir? Is this true Jammu and Kashmir? Bukhari added. Referring to the incident that took place in Kishtwar the previous day, he called for the harshest punishment. I would like to say that the incident that took place yesterday in Kishtawar should be punished with death, he said. He also urged the administration and police to ensure that such cases were dealt with through fast-track proceedings so that those responsible were punished and the proceedings served as a deterrent. I would like to say to the administration and police that these cases should be punished on a fast track so that it is a lesson for others, he said. Asked about a statement by Sajjad Shaheen describing the 2014 alliance with the BJP as a historical betrayal, Bukhari declined to react. I don't think that I should react to their statement, he said. Bukhari was also asked about a statement by the US ambassador that Kashmir is an important part of India. He said the statement did not surprise him. I don't think that it is surprising to us, he said. We are a part of India, Bukhari said, adding that he did not want the US ambassador to merely state that Jammu and Kashmir is an important part of India. We don't want the US ambassador to say that we are an important part of India. We want the people of India to understand that Jammu and Kashmir is an important part of India, he said. Bukhari stressed that greater attention should be paid to the sentiments and concerns of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. We should take care of the emotions and feelings of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he said. He also called for the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir to be protected. We should take care of the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, Bukhari said. He concluded by stressing the need to protect the lives of the people of the region.
