What is the Blue Whale ?

What is the Blue Whale ? The Blue Whale challenge ends in suicide. You are forced to kill yourself, under the threat that if you don’t, the game’s developers will kill your family. You probably already know that the Blue Whale game presents a 50-ish-day series of challenges. These start out simple, like waking up at a certain time during the night and things like that. But later they start to get more complicated and disturbing. In a few of the challenges you are forced to cut yourself—carving a specific number and, later, a blue whale image into your skin using a knife. The thing is, you can’t back out. This game is an app that, once downloaded, hacks your phone and steals tons of sensitive information.

During later challenges, you’ll be forced to have a conversation with a Blue Whale developer. Later you’ll be told to stand precar

Last year, on May 29, 2016, I had carried a post called Saket Parivartan - the Dream gone sour. This is a sequel to that post : Parivartan - the dream is over. Yes, the Parivartan dream is over. The past two years have been a story of back stabbing, people ganging up against one person, groupism gaining over talent and schemers running the roost in Saket - people with little or no knowledge of running society affairs are in positions of power - not because of people wanting them , but by staging palace coup.
