“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

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

“ 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

“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

"The farmer is the only man in our economy who buys everything at retail, sells everything at wholesale, and pays the freight both ways."                                                                                                                                   'John F. Kennedy' The  basic requirements  for human beings are food, clothes and shelter. Food is most basic and foremost important among them, without which we can't  imagine our lives.Its ridiculous that farmers who produce grains for millions of people of our country, are unable to lead even an ordinary life.In spite of t otal production of agriculture sector is $366.92 billion, farmers are living a life below average.  They live a miserable life and work with minimum wages still lack the respect what they deserve.Apa rt from this, the heart-rending incidents of farmers committing suicides as a result of inability to pay their debt is shameful for our nation. Agricultural sector plays a s
