IS THE CRACKDOWN ON NIDHI COMPANIES UNCALLED FOR?

Interestingly, the retrospective operation was introduced through the Rules, which in my view, is also against the spirit and intent of section 406 of the CA Act, 2013. Apparently, the term “meets” too has an inherent subjectivity, which one would argue bestows unbridled discretion on the approving authority.

ON WORK, SERVICE, AND LIFE…

Most of the waking hours of an average human life are spent delivering a vocation of our choice and often not our choice. Life in the 21st century has been one long tryst with habitual monotony. We fall into the patterns that society has built around us and move through the grooves and the much-walked pathways of others, as they seem to be the only clearing in the forest. As we wander through those terrains, life is still structured in ways we have no control over as many a quotidian task has been thrust upon us, as if we have no choice.

PASSION CHANGES EVERYTHING!

We all want to succeed. We all want to build connections. We all want to achieve our dreams. There should not be any doubt that you need to have extremely huge goals – because there is less competition out there for life-altering roles. The higher you go, the fewer it gets. So first we need to set the dream, and then we need to ensure we have enough “passion” to fuel it to full throttle.

KERALA'S POTENTIAL AS A PROMINENT GLOBAL HEALTH HUB

Kerala is one of the few regions in the developing world, which has achieved substantial progress in the realm of education and health.

What You Believe Is What You See!

Our mindset is a sum of our beliefs, experiences, conditioning, knowledge, perception, and thoughts about the world we live in. It is also how you see yourself. Your mindset is the ultimate determinant of your success. We have seen some people accomplish more than others. We see that some people believe in themselves more than others and are more optimistic about things & tomorrow. What makes them do so is the mindset they developed. Those who achieve great success believe that they can accomplish big things. Your mind controls the way you look at things, the way you talk and make decisions.

Your Food Is Your Medicine

Ancient old Vedic systems of India have shown that we are what we eat and eating habits determine good health or disease risk. There are certain foods, fruits, and vegetables that trigger health while the others are capable of providing medicinal and preventive, protective & curative qualities. That is the strongest reason that many people votes in favor of food is medicine. Despite the above facts, we can’t simply say that food/diet alone cannot and should not replace medicine in all conditions & circumstances, I strongly feel and recommend that food supplements and medicines can go hand in hand. It's wrong to suggest that the entire pharmaceutical industry and modern science are bad and Ayurveda/alternative systems of treatment are best.

A FEW RECENT DIRECT TAX AMENDMENTS - IS IT A CASE OF MISTRUST

It has now become a saddening trend of laws changing so frequently on the assumption that there is no intelligent life outside the North Block. An even more disturbing trend which is neither fair nor in the national interest that law is made to bear hard on a large number of taxpayers merely in order to get a few dishonest ones. As Nani Palkhivala once remarked, “It is not right that so much should be inflicted on so many in order to rope in a few.”

The Loneliness Pandemic - Can Technology Provide A Solution?

The pandemic has brought in changes galore and changed our quotidian lifestyles. Besides disrupting a significant portion of our work and our leisure time, it constantly forces us to adopt new habits and usher in life-altering mindsets. We pride ourselves as homo sapiens on the ability to embrace change, albeit with difficulty, and emerge with the ability to not just cope with the circumstances but also to master them. With the healthcare research bandwidth around the globe today, there is a clear possibility that we would have conquered the virus and controlled such outbreaks for years to come. I am optimistic!

THE STAGES OF MEMORY FORMATION

Memory is the process in which the mind interprets, stores, and retrieves information. Memory serves human beings in many complex ways. It enables us to process our environment, improve behavior, and gives context to our lives. Studies of this psychological phenomenon reveal that memory occurs in stages, which gives us valuable insight into the inner workings of the brain. Forming new memories is an incredibly complex and fascinating process, researchers have been able to trace memory down to the structural and even the molecular level in recent years, showing that memories are stored throughout many brain structures in the connections between neurons, and can even depend on a single molecule for their long-term stability.

Professional In The Post-Pandemic World

One of the most important tasks of professionals is to take decisions. Management is often called ‘decision-making without bias!’. Some of these decisions are taken with deep analysis and some with the ‘gut feel’. But even this ‘gut feel’ is actually the commutation of life experiences and the unconscious ‘decision algorithm’ we build in our minds.

Digital Learning: How The Pandemic Became A Catalyst For Change

In life, no matter how difficult the situation we find ourselves in, we should always retain our presence of mind and try to think of a solution to get things done within the constraints, rather than bemoaning over fate. Challenges pave the way for opportunities. Those who are exposed to challenges tend to utilize the best of opportunities.

THE COMMUNIST SUPERSTAR

The confident, hard-edged leader is easily the most powerful communist politician in the country, at a time when the party’s footprints have been diminishing in the nation. Pinarayi Vijayan’s progressive approach and resolute stance in the event of a chain of natural calamities and pandemic that the state faced in the last five years is a textbook example of strong governance that transformed the governance style of Kerala by adopting the best of the west and yet standing strong on the ideals of socialism.
