Online Education has in general made it easy to learn new skills. With presence of many platforms and services, it has never been easier to learn something new that can help. Not just for Professional Skills, but even for recreational activities it is an amazing time to learn new hobbies.

Speaking about Professional Skills, how should one learn them. It is very important to follow the following steps when learning a new skill.

Evaluating Ourselves- Find your Education and Career Goal, and evaluate your current skills to find skills that you may want to learn. If you are not sure of your Goal yet, do not worry. Evaluate your current skills and see which skillsU you may want to learn.
Skills can be of two main types- Technical (Microsoft office, SPSS for Statistics, etc.), or, Interpersonal Skills (Communication, Team work,etc.). You can learn both.
Identify right places to learn the Skills– Take guidance on where you can learn skills from Teachers, Experienced people in Family, Industry Experts (you can int with them in conferences, on Social Media, etc.),Mentors, etc.
Do not over commit- Do not learn too many skills at once. Start with one or few and after completing them, go to others. Always remember, the avenues to learn are many; we have to still go step by step so we do not over burden ourselves.

Learning new skills is of great importance. Do not stress yourself while learning though. It takes time to be great in your field. Enjoy the process and stay happy.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday took a jibe at former BJP president Amit Shah, saying not just wifi, but battery charging was also free in Delhi as his government was giving free 200 units of electricity.

Kejriwal made the remarks on Shah’s statement which he made during a campaign rally on Thursday. Shah had said that while Kejriwal had promised free Wifi to the city, Shah’s “mobile battery got drained, but cannot spot any wifi spot”.

Kejriwal, in Hindi, responded that his government had ensured that not just free wifi, but free battery charging was also available.

“In Delhi, electricity up to 200 units is free.”

Delhi is going to the polls on February 8 and the BJP and AAP are contesting against each other.

Priyanka Gandhi Was Also Spied

Congress alleged that its leader Priyanka Gandhi was also hacked through WhatsApp with the Israeli spyware Pegasus.

party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said that Gandhi had received a message from the Facebook-owned messaging platform informing her that her phone could also have been targeted with the snooping software at the same time that other users in India were notified“

I want to tell that Priyanka Gandhi also received a similar message from WhatsApp around the same time,” Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said, responding to a question about Praful Patel and Mamata Banerjee receiving messages from the Facebook-owned messaging platform.

On Thursday, reports had revealed that several members of the civil society in India have been the target of surveillance through a spyware, Pegasus, which was developed by an Israeli cyber intelligence firm, NSO Group. Pegasus was used to target around 1,400 users globally during a two-week period in May.

So far, 17 people, mostly lawyers, human rights activists, and journalists, have confirmed that they were targeted by spyware through WhatsApp.

Sources told that after she received the message warning her that her phone was suspected to have been targeted, Gandhi did not think much of the message and deleted it. The messages alerting the users were sent out by Citizen Lab, a Canada-based cyber security group that is assisting WhatsApp in investigating the spyware attack.

After the controversy erupted this past week when, the Congress communication team, the sources said, asked Gandhi about it and sent a copy of messages received by activists reportedly targeted, to which she confirmed that she had received similar messages. Gandhi, they added, says she also received calls from international numbers around that time but hadn’t answered them.

The Congress spokesperson blamed the ruling BJP of targeting opposition leaders with the snooping software, and said that the party suspects that many senior politicians and judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts have also been spied on.
