    Indian literatures in general including those written in English, entail (in a vivid or veiled manner) a rich legacy inherited from the epics, other classical texts and the Puranas which promote overall, an equilibrium in the eco-space, the flora and fauna, while at the same time strongly recommending a protective role of the human and his being in perfect peace with the habitat. The literature of India’s North-east, poetry in particular, further posits an interesting case study of both adulation and apprehension. Here one experiences an abiding respect for the exotic beauty of nature - the mystic hills and magic rivers with the sprawling verdure around- which, with a potency though to lure poetic hearts into the realm of thoughts offering some emancipatory streaks of revelations, cannot however dispel the confounding mess of impressions of the muddled present which is lacerated by political unrest, insurgency and its countermeasures, the culture of dominance and finally a seamless urbanization which is keen to trammel up the traditional ways of life and thought that have enjoyed a sanctity of practice over generations. The poems discussed in the paper articulate a disquieting awareness of some grim possibility lurking under the Edenic greenery around

    Internet of Things Software and Hardware Architectures and Their Impacts on Forensic Investigations: Current Approaches and Challenges

    The never-before-seen proliferation of interconnected low-power computing devices, patently dubbed the Internet of Things (IoT), is revolutionizing how people, organizations, and malicious actors interact with one another and the Internet. Many of these devices collect data in different forms, be it audio, location data, or user commands. In civil or criminal nature investigations, the data collected can act as evidence for the prosecution or the defense. This data can also be used as a component of cybersecurity efforts. When data is extracted from these devices, investigators are expected to do so using proven methods. Still, unfortunately, given the heterogeneity in the types of devices that need to be examined, few widely agreed-upon standards exist. In this paper, we look at some of the architectures, current frameworks, and methods available to perform forensic analysis of IoT devices to provide a roadmap for investigators and researchers to form the basis of an investigation
