Sugu Pavithra and The Jealous Neighbour

      Hey guys, I am sure you've heard about a youtuber who became sensational in such a short period. Well, apart from all the fans and subscriber she has, she seems to have a jealous one just living next door.        We know that Sugu Pavithra posts videos of her simple Indian recipes on YouTube and she even got gifts as well as compliments from the Prime Minister. However, she did admit that part of her success was because of her neighbour who taught her how to use YouTube. Her neighbour, Kakak Sri, also happens to be a youtuber herself with over 88,000 subscribers. Recently, Pavithra's neighbor seems to be upset about Pavithra having more subscribers than her.         I mean, let's be honest, if you're genuine about helping someone, it shouldn't be a big deal right. Instead, the neighbour posted a video where she accused Pavithra of stealing her spotlight and thankfully the video has been deleted. She then posted an...

Should drunk drivers be given death penalty if they cost lives- News Review

     Regarding my post earlier, I happen to come across few comments on Instagram. The news was posted on World of Buzz Official Instagram page. I read through the comments and I think it’s something we could debate on. SHOULD DRUNK DRIVERS BE GIVEN DEATH PENALTY IF THEY COST LIVES?      In my opinion, if you're going to apply 'an eye for an eye' concept in all situations, I bet it will only cause more harm.       Taking another life doesn’t really resolve the issue. In fact, it will only create more hatred and anger and it is also an inhuman act. Making another person grief does not bring satisfaction. I’m not saying the suspect is innocent but taking his life is not going to bring about any good. If the death penalty is implemented, the fear will be there but will it permanently stop the wrong from happening again? To solve a problem, I think we should head straight to its root.      Why people get drunk? It’s beca...
