We, society and social media

  “ The glory of justice and the majesty of law are created not just by the Constitution - nor by the courts - nor by the officers of the law - nor by the lawyers - but by the men and women who constitute our society - who are the protectors of the law as they are themselves protected by the law. ” India is country of varied heritage and vivid culture and remains one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world. Apart from its many religions and sects, India is home to innumerable castes and tribes, as well as to more than a dozen major and hundreds of minor linguistic groups from several language families unrelated to one another. Religious minorities, including Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Jains, still account for a significant proportion of the population; collectively, their numbers exceed the populations of most of countries except China. Earnest attempts have been made to instill a spirit of nationhood in so varied a populatio

One India, Unified India- abrogation of article 370

"Nationalism is inspired by the highest ideals of the human race, satyam [the true], shivam [the god], sundaram [the beautiful]. Nationalism in India has ... roused the creative faculties which for centuries had been lying dormant in our people."                                                                                                                                     "Subhash Chandra Bose"   India has seen unprecedented growth in last few years. It’s a new evolution, where we can see Indian Govt. working like an agile organization. Last few days prove this analogy of lean and agile approach- ~35 firm decisions(bills) passed in ~40 meetings. Approx 70 hours of overtime by members leading to 127% productivity Freshers got chances to be heard of with ~94% of them participating in debates. Finally,  It pivoted a directionless high potential subsidiary acquired in 1947 to 3 agile startups from within... Jokes apart, discussion may be weird a

BJP vs ALL ! The ballot is stronger than the bullet.

By -

I will start this post with a sincere request to all, “Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you. Step out of your comfort zone and make every possible efforts to cast your vote” The elections are already going on. BJP lead alliance NDA is clearly a front runner in this elections under the leadership of Narendra Modi. If we closely analyze this year's contest, then we will find that only BJP is contesting more than half of the seats. Rest all parties are not even contesting for majority. They are just hoping that everyone will reach on a common consensus if NDA falls short of majority mark. Now the biggest question in mind of voters is to whom they should vote for. After all its a decision which wil eventually decide their future. To make it little simple lets analyze this year election battle First of all let's explore the available options:             BJP led National Democratic

Live it, Love it....

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” –  Steve Jobs Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more. It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family. Live life to the full and become more curious every day. The more you find out about life, the richer your music-making will be. 1.        Don’t keep grudges You become what you digest into your spirit. Whatever you think about, focus on, read about, talk about, you’re going to attract more of into your life. Make sure they're all positive. The best revenge is no r

A deep dive into petrol pricing mechanism

By -

Petroleum products’ prices have never been easier for Indian Governments to deal with. Term “RSP” i.e. Retail selling price of petrol has always been a favorite of opposition parties and headache for consumers. Having said that “RSP” is a function of many variables, some of them are global (which are out of control for our governments) while others are very local and cannot be ruled out. Here it is important to know that petroleum products contribute in a very significant manner to Indian governments, irrespective of the fact whether they are in centre or state. Approximately 30-35% of petrol/diesel prices go to central government while 20-25% of it adds gravity of state treasury. This is pretty normal for governments like ours as we have to run multiple subsidy schemes at any point of the time and we need significant money for that. Imagine, subsidized food, transport, hospital, school, energy and what not, all are sponsored by government. So, it perfectly makes sense as the c

"Beti Bachao"-Women empowerment

“ There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved, It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing.  ”                                                                                                  “Swami Vivekanand” India has witnessed great changes in status of women over past few millennia. In modern India, women have held high offices including that of the President, Prime minister, Speaker of Lok-sabha, Leader of opposition, Union ministers (cabinet and state), Chief Ministers, Governors, Bureaucrats, and Judge of high court and Supreme Court. Yet we need to promote women empowerment and equal rights to women. With a decline in their status from the ancient to medieval times, to the promotion of equal rights by many reformers, their history has been eventful. Women during early Vedic period enjoyed equal status with men in all aspects of life. Works by ancient grammarians such as Patanjali and Katyayana suggest t

Education for ALL

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.”                                                                                                                           Martin Luther King, Jr. Education nurtures professionals that will enhance nation-building. In the same way, education leads to efficient usage of India’s resources which in turn leads towards a successful, powerful and developed economy. Evidently, we have seen developed nations where they educate their citizens very well, that shapes the attitudes and behaviors and values of citizens. We might have reached in the 21 st century and consider ourselves modern but are we really developed? Or even progressively modern? NO!! Wondering why? Why we don’t have same reputation as we had in ancient times ( “sone ki chidiya” )? The answer is we have forgotten the fact that destiny of a nation is shaped in its
