WHY MOST SELF-HELP BOOKS ARE NOT WORTH YOUR TIME.

A few days back I was in a bookstore looking to buy some novels. I was quite surprised to see that I couldn't find any novels instead saw a lot of self-help books. I was quite confused because I saw nearly a hundred books on self-help.   So, basically I have a lot of problems with these "self-help" books. And it is totally based on my opinion. So, if you look closely self-help books are sold very easily nowadays. It's because it is actually easy to write any self-help book. If I tell you to write, you will be able to because these books include some random ideas which you and I can give easily. Let's take for an example:  If you want to encourage your friend if he/she is not able to concentrate on any work you will tell to focus by starting meditation, doing some exercises, etc. My only point is to say that everyone can give these general suggestions. It's just that they write in a sophisticated way that when you read it gives you happiness for a second. You w...

The reality of 'ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT'

Well this was implemented because of the growing tensions between the two countries. Here we are not going to talk about right or wrong but will try to show perspective and benefit India will get from this.      Let's just drive a little bit into our history. After independence somewhat India and China were in the same position infact in the 1950s-60s China was severely suffering from poverty and unemployment. They were facing huge losses of lives every year. At that time many countries were opening to liberalisation to help each other in building their economy. China and India were the only two nations were labour was cheap and could setup manufacturing units easily. Unfortunately only China agreed to open up and thus many companies started to set their manufacturing centres. In this period China's gdp was growing at an average ...

ARE WE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?

Education plays an important role in our lives. We tend to learn a lot of things, develop skills, helps in making decisions. But the scenario of today's education system has totally changed. It is getting worse. There are many points which proves that we need to revolutionize the system. Of course it will take at least 20 years to see the changes.     20 years back people used to do white collar jobs. It was absolutely fine because our country had opened to globalization which required the service sector. It was reasonable but still today it hasn't changed a bit. People are still preferring white collar jobs. I don't have a problem with this. But I would like to list a few things which might help you to understand the scenario.  A) If more and more people will prefer to go in service sector then who will be there to create employment? B) Second most important point to notice; gradually the salaries are and will be decreasing in the coming years due to competition. Therefo...

Anyways, in this whole internet world a lot of things are being sold to you everyday and you don't even have an idea. Now, here I am not talking about the tangible things. Of course, there are which I will be writing in my further blogs. Today my main topic will be about how psychologically you are fooled in believing in a lot of things around you.Well this might be due to your fascinations, vulnerability to get you to become their followers. Here simply I am going to show what type of people we tend to follow on social media. a) Those who we know but do not care about :Now in this category most of the young influencers come.You must have seen them, watched what type of content they make but do not care about. They have quite a impact on their audience especially on the teenagers. Here I am not talking about the work they do. The main point to notice:remember when once they were ex...
