With the emergence of new challenges and threats, it has become imperative for India to increase its defence budget.

Procrastination has stuck with you and there you risk missing something big in life. Don’t want to, right? Of course not! Nobody wants to, not me even, and for that you ought to follow a set of hacks to escape from such blunders.  1. Hook your timetable in front of your eyes-  One of the best ways to avoid procrastination is to prepare a detailed timetable of all deadlines and hang it in front of your table. The morning should be well oriented, and targets should be charted to head-on. Tech savvies should utilise smartphones & gizmos which can drastically help them keep track of their work.  2. Don’t over-react but avoid trivialising too- Guesstimating targets poses a threat to wo...

Photo credit - www.shutterstock.com   D ear Self@2020,  What’s up? I hope you are keeping up well. It is indeed great to tell you that I have completed my post-graduation and am presently working in a firm dealing in Automated Vehicles. Yes, you read it right, automated vehicles. Nobody controls them and they think and operate on their own. Here I am going to share my experiences of 2030. That’s really fantastic, just wait and work.  When I look back, I find you there, standing with a smartphone all the time to do very general activities. Today, I don’t find any smartphones here rather all have a piece of smart glass and that is a master device for everything. I use details stored on Cloud and do everything from that glass as there exist almost three trillion such devices connected in a network called the Internet of Things. A small chip is installed in my body which acts as a transmitter and all my devices are connected to it, including my home. What I think of is d...

The historic judgement of the Supreme Court of India declaring women as coparceners of their father’s property is welcome. I hope for a smile of satisfaction on your face.  Yes, you might have read about the decision and would have appreciated it as well. I too did and one must do if wants to see a progressive society. It comes as an addition to the earlier decision of 2005 but it takes into its effect a large chunk of people who were otherwise left out. The law is not changing much of the system but will surely change the minds and thus it is crucial. It will pave the way in turning the direction of Indian society into a more open, equal and developed one. In this article, I am not going to tell you what that order provides or not rather I will present before you some observations that might cause a trouble with this system and can throw that satisfaction into doubts.  India is in a pathetic condition when it comes to female foeticides , murders of female infants and ev...

Boasting the world’s largest economy, aggregations of the multinationals and an array of top-notch global knowledge centres, the United States of America seems to be drifting away from the goal of ‘The Great America’ at a   time when President Donald Trump wants to bolster this pitch. Yes, the term 'The Third World Nation' sounds a bit too alien while we refer to the US, but the downfall of the world’s largest economy seems inevitable. Indeed, its journey till now has been an example for the rest of the world, but the idea of ‘developed country’ for the US appears faded. It will be apt to term it an ‘economically and militarily powerful nation’ than to make it the leader of the developed world. Over the last few months of this Covid-19 pandemic, anomalies of the healthcare system of the so-called most advanced country has been exposed. Its policies and readiness to tackle the pandemic could not even match some of the middle- or lower-income countries with limited ...

                                                  A resurgent economy with expanding global interests – India stands all set to rise into ‘New India’ carving its niche. India is the world’s most youthful nation in the world and it becomes a necessity for India to improve its stature as a key player in the world affairs and to promote and secure its self-interests. India’s rise is not free of hurdles and requires deep planning to withstand various global headwinds. As the world gears up for more bilateral and trilateral version, away from its target of creating a ‘global village’, India needs a strategy that can keep it safe from these volatile situations. A good grip over the resource rich neighborhood is a long term and strategically safe solution to it. India should focus on strengthening its relations with neighbors by g...

As and when I discuss about the education sector in the country I am heaped over by examples of CEOs and managers of top-notch global companies who are of Indian origin or even actually Indian. Yes, that is, of course, a matter of pride to see marvels of Indian diaspora but that never satisfies me because when I look at their profile I find that most of them have completed their higher education at some foreign institutes or have been working for some MNC for a long time. And hence I do not agree to consider it a success of the Indian education system which is not able to control the brain drain due to its ailing state. There are some points which I want to highlight through my article. Incresing public spending on education Yes I know that's pretty simple and everybody can think of it but here I am gonna put it a bit differently. Focusing more to build a robust education system at par with global standards is a must. Government is trying hard to push in manufacturi...
