5G: A One Step Forward to the Speed

Ibelong to that state that has been given the tag of “Heaven on Earth” many years ago. Jammu & Kashmir was a paradise of India
at some point in time, but now this heaven has been abducted by an evil soul. The state where a female child was considered to be made for household assignment only and marriage at an early age, I was born on February 1, 1989, in Ramnagar Town, Udhampur District, Jammu, in a family of the engineering fraternity. I am blessed to have such a family where there are no such conservative thoughts. My father taught me the “dignity of labor.” It is a well- known proverb that my father always induced in my mind “I slept and dreamed that life was beauty, I woke up and found that life was duty. Shun, not the struggle, it is a God’s gift.” By virtue of good luck, my father got an
opportunity to be posted in Jammu, and hence our whole family was shifted there. When we visited our hometown during holidays, there was a lack of communication as there was only one landline connection in the whole town that was installed at the post office. Not only was there a communication gap but a scarcity of electricity, too. These incidents persuaded me to choose the field that dealt with the Electronics and Communication Department during my BTech. at Jammu University. Article 370 was imposed in J&K State that restricted females not to marry outside the state with a fear of losing not only their rights but also the right of their wards, which changed the mentality of people and limited the reach of females outside the state for higher education.
