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.

Psychology says people who bounce their feet to music without realizing it may be responding to rhythmic alignment

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.

Only insensitive govt can put additional burden on people: Altaf Bukhari on power tariff hike

Srinagar, Aug 22: Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP) president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari today expressed disappointment over hike in power tariff in Jammu and Kashmir, saying only an insensitive government can think of putting an additional burden on people. Taking to micro-blogging site X, Bukhari said: Only a government that is insensitive towards the problems and grievances of people can think of putting an additional burden on them by increasing power tariffs. At a time when the people are already facing serious challenges like unemployment, rising inflation, and difficulties in the tourism and horticulture sectors, one fails to understand why the authorities have approved an average 6.83% hike in power tariffs for 202627. The ruling party had promised 200 units of free electricity and free gas cylinders for domestic use. These promises were made to seek votes from the people. But two years after coming to power, instead of providing relief to people already struggling with hardships, the government has chosen to increase power tariffs. This is deeply disappointing. Bukhari said that Apni Party stands firmly with the people in these difficult times, and will strongly raise this issue and oppose the power tariff hike. He added that the party will continue to stand with the people and fight against every decision that adds to their hardships.

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.
