Do Ghosts Exist?

You'd have to agree with us when we say that one of the spookiest questions that exist is whether ghosts are real or not. Till the point they are behind the silver screen in horror movies, all's well. But the moment we hear a real-life tale, we are scared. While a daring few would shun this talk without giving it a second thought, some would weep with trepidation. And so, we thought this topic deserved an opinion poll. And with Halloween around the corner, this was the perfect chance to conduct the eeriest poll possible. The question was simple  do you believe in ghosts ? to which the 12,209 respondents had varied responses. 43.88% of the respondents replied with a definite Yes and 35.39% with a firm (and frankly quite brave) No. Another significant group of respondents consisting of 20.73% people responded with an inconclusive Sometimes.

The Folding Pizza Phenomenon

Pizza, Italian by origin, is no longer just a delicacy for the Italians. Be it any corner of the world, we can now easily find a pizza on the menu of every other restaurant. It might not be anywhere close to the original version as each country, in fact, each state has added its own flavours to it. From the wide variety of bases available to the cheese and toppings that go on top of it, everything has its own unique (and localised) taste. The only thing that would not have changed about a pizza would be the fact that no one can stop at just one slice. You have got to have another piece if you have tasted one. And interestingly, depending on the style of the pizza base, people eat it differently. While some might prefer a fork and knife, some dig in, right with their hands. Some people also fold their pizza slices before eating, and we wanted to know for how many people this holds true. So, we conducted a poll with 12,253 respondents, wherein 50.77% outrightly deniedfolding their pizza slice. 32.02% of the respondents, however, reveal that they do fold their slices before eating. And 17.20% of them state that they only do so sometimes.

The Nation's Vaccination Status

While 2020 was mostly embroiled in dealing with Covid-19, 2021 brought with it the much-needed vaccination drives. The only salvation for the chaos created by Covid-19 was in the vaccines developed to prevent its spread. And even though many people quickly got their shots, many were skeptical towards it. Even the brand of the vaccination became a topic to be researched, discussed, and debated. It was only after seeing these deliberations and promotions done by the Indian government and celebrities that people started getting vaccinated. To get a clearer insight into this, we asked 12,302 respondents whether they had got their vaccination done or not. 45.26% of them have got their first dose, and 21.83% have got both their doses. 27.57% of the respondents say they have not got their vaccination shots yet but will get them soon, and 5.33% don't believe in the vaccine created to prevent Covid-19.

Every individual has their preference; some like the simplicity of low-rise buildings and some are enamored by the grandeur of the high-rise buildings. And their reasons are all varied from aesthetic to functional to environmental. But whatever be the case, they both have their charm. So, we thought we'll conduct a poll to see which of the two building types is favored more by people.
