Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you clearly knew what was right and what was wrong - yet still chose to stay silent? It may have been during a heated conversation, in a toxic work environment, or even in the face of societal injustice. Many of us have. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: if you can't call out wrong when you see it, you may be giving up your power to stand up for your own rights. Knowing Isn't Enough Knowledge is power but only when it is used. Understanding what is wrong is the first step toward justice. But that knowledge, if left unspoken or unused, becomes hollow. It doesn’t protect you. It doesn’t protect others. In fact, it can create a deeper sense of frustration and helplessness. Too often, we justify our silence. We think: “It’s not my place.” “Someone else will say something.” “I don’t want to cause trouble.” But when everyone stays silent, injustice thrives. It becomes normalized. And what you allow in others’ situations oft...

In today’s world, leadership is no longer about being the loudest in the room or the smartest at the table. It’s about understanding people, managing emotions, and leading with empathy. In short, great leadership today requires high emotional intelligence (EQ). Leaders with high EQ create safe, strong, and productive environments - not through control, but through emotional clarity and presence. Here’s what high-EQ leadership looks like in real, practical terms: 1. Stay Calm in Chaos They don’t mirror anxiety - their calm becomes an anchor for the whole team. When everything around is falling apart tight deadlines, unexpected setbacks, difficult clients - leaders with high EQ don’t panic. They stay composed, grounded, and present. Their calm energy helps others settle down and focus, instead of feeding into the tension. Why it matters: People look to leaders for emotional cues. Your calmness can reset the emotional tone of the entire team. 2. Don’t Treat Feedback as a Personal A...

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to forget what truly matters. We're constantly juggling responsibilities - careers, relationships, social expectations, finances, and ambitions. Somewhere in the chaos, many of us have unknowingly placed our own health on the back burner. But here’s a profound truth we often overlook: We are not just bodies trying to survive in this world. We are souls - eternal, conscious beings - who have temporarily been gifted a body to experience life in the physical realm. And this body? It comes from nature. It is born of the Earth - composed of the very elements that shape our world. Without it, we cannot interact with this life. Without it, we cannot fulfill our soul's purpose here. So, ask yourself this: If our soul has been given a body by nature to experience life, shouldn’t we honor and care for it as our top priority? The Spiritual Perspective: You Are a Soul, Not Just a Body Before anything else, you were and still are - a soul. The bo...

In today’s fast-paced world, where stress, unhealthy food habits, and medical bills seem to rise faster than salaries, one ancient practice is making a powerful comeback -  intermittent fasting . This isn't just another wellness trend or quick-fix diet. It’s a lifestyle that holds the key to not only physical health but also emotional well-being and financial stability. Let’s explore why intermittent fasting can truly be considered the best modern-day practice for creating a healthy, happy, and wealthy life. Health Is the New Wealth There’s an old saying: “Health is wealth.” This saying has never been more relevant than it is today. In a time where chronic illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and heart disease are skyrocketing, it’s becoming clearer that maintaining good health is directly connected to your quality of life - and your finances. The average person today spends thousands of rupees on medical tests, prescription drugs, and hospital visits. Ma...

Have you ever observed how people respond after a major tragedy or crisis? Whether it's a plane crash, a terrorist attack, a natural disaster, or even a health pandemic - there's an immediate sense of urgency. Everyone starts following rules strictly, safety procedures are put in place, and authorities issue new guidelines. But then, over time, it all fades. We slowly go back to our old habits, almost as if nothing ever happened. This isn't just a coincidence. It's a common human behavior - a cycle of intense reaction followed by gradual forgetfulness. The Immediate Reaction When something terrible happens, our first response is shock and fear. Take, for example, a plane crash. Following such an incident, aviation authorities tighten regulations. Airlines recheck their fleets, pilots undergo extra training, and airports increase safety checks. Passengers, too, become more alert and cautious while flying. Or consider a terrorist attack at a tourist destination. After...

In every corner of the world - whether it’s a neighborhood, a workplace, a political system, or even a school - you’ll often come across a certain type of person who thrives on fear. These individuals, often referred to as goons, bullies, or thugs, believe that their aggressive behavior makes them more powerful than others. They walk with an inflated sense of superiority, convinced that their ability to intimidate gives them control over the ordinary, law-abiding citizen. But let’s pause and ask: Is that real power? The Illusion of Strength People who rely on threats, manipulation, or brute force tend to confuse fear with respect . They believe that if others are afraid of them, they must be strong or important. This is a dangerous misconception. The power they claim is superficial - it exists only as long as people stay silent or choose not to fight back. Their influence is temporary and fragile. It’s not built on trust, wisdom, or character. It’s built on intimidation. And fear,...

Over the years, many cultural observers, thinkers, and members of the Hindu community have expressed concern over what they perceive as the steady dilution of Hindu culture. This perceived erosion isn’t necessarily due to one factor, but rather a combination of long-standing influences that have impacted how Hinduism is understood, practiced, and portrayed in modern India and beyond. Let’s explore three major areas where this influence is often observed: education , history , and entertainment . 1. Education Controlled by Christian Missionary Influence The roots of India's modern education system can be traced back to British colonial rule. During that period, many schools and colleges were established by Christian missionaries. These institutions played a significant role in spreading English education, which undoubtedly helped modernize India in many ways. However, critics argue that they also contributed to a de-emphasis - if not outright neglect - of India’s native tradition...

In the vast landscape of human existence, one truth stands firm: no religion or non-religious philosophy can fully dictate how people live their lives . While scriptures, spiritual texts, and philosophical writings may offer guidance, the actual way we choose to live and think is deeply personal and constantly evolving. Diversity of Thought: The Beauty of Humanity Across the world, we find a wide variety of belief systems and thinkers - Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Zoroastrianism (Parsis), Buddhism, Jainism, and many others. Throughout history, influential figures like Rajneesh (Osho) and countless philosophers have shared their views on how life should be lived. However, the general public often goes beyond these teachings . People tend to live based on what makes sense to them, shaped by their circumstances, needs, and personal growth. And here's the truth: our needs are never static . They change daily. As life evolves, so do our thoughts, actions, and priorities. What work...

In recent years, traveling to tourist destinations across India has become increasingly expensive. What was once an accessible and joyful experience for many now feels more like a luxury reserved for the wealthy. Food, accommodation, transport, and even basic sightseeing have become so costly that visiting these places often ends up costing more than staying in a metro city. Whether it’s a hotel, a resort, a restaurant, or a local guide, almost every service connected to tourism seems to be centered around maximizing profit. Even small shopkeepers, who used to represent the local charm and warmth of a place, are now pricing their goods at levels that are difficult to justify. Is This the Right Way to Earn a Living? Of course, everyone has the right to earn a livelihood, but the question arises -  is this fair or ethical? When the cost of every basic necessity at a tourist location is marked up to an unreasonable level, it feels more like exploitation than hospitality. What’s e...

In the ever-accelerating rhythm of our lives, we find ourselves increasingly desensitized to the recurring tragedies that unfold around us. Airplane crashes, train derailments, overcrowded religious gatherings like the Kumbh Mela, and the unrelenting toll of the COVID-19 pandemic - each has claimed countless lives. And yet, public reaction often drifts toward indifference. One hears, almost casually, "Why dwell on it? If someone dies, their family will receive compensation. What more can be done?" But such sentiments raise disturbing questions. Is monetary compensation the answer to the loss of a human life? Can financial aid ever truly account for the emotional, social, and psychological void left behind? More often than not, that money -  if it ever arrives - comes late, marred by bureaucratic red tape, and never brings the closure one might hope for. Underlying all this is a growing resignation: a belief that appealing to the government is futile. That accountability is...

The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has offered the world many lessons - some strategic, others deeply personal. One of the most profound realizations it has brought to light is this: Everything we own and value - our homes, jobs, wealth, and comfort - is secure only as long as our country is safe. We often take our stability for granted. We focus on our salaries, our 4 BHK homes or bungalows, our vehicles, our businesses, our farmlands, and our dreams. But none of these things are permanent or guaranteed. In times of national crisis, they can vanish overnight. The situation in Ukraine is a stark reminder. Over 2 million Ukrainian citizens were forced to abandon their homes and belongings, fleeing the country to seek refuge elsewhere - carrying nothing but their essentials and memories. Thankfully, Ukraine shares borders with friendly nations that were willing to accept and shelter them. But as Indians, we need to ask ourselves: If such a crisis were to occur here, where...

In a world driven by materialism and price tags, we often overlook the most powerful, valuable, and life-changing things - simply because they come free. Let’s take a moment to reflect on some of the strongest and most precious gifts life offers us, without asking anything in return. 1. The Strongest Material: Sand Sand is one of the strongest natural materials - forming the foundation of buildings, cities, and entire civilizations. Yet, we never truly value it. Why? Because it’s everywhere, freely available. Its abundance blinds us to its importance. 2. The Most Powerful Drink: Water Water keeps us alive, refreshes us, and heals us. It’s the most essential drink on the planet. Still, we don’t treat it like a luxury. We take it for granted, simply because it often flows freely from a tap without a price tag. 3. The Truest Love: A Parent’s Love Parental love is the purest form of affection we will ever receive - unconditional, selfless, and infinite. Yet, many of us fail to appreciate i...

Pratik Joshi had been living in London for the past six years. A dedicated software professional, he had long nurtured a dream - to build a better future abroad for his wife and their three young children, who remained in India while he laid the groundwork. After years of planning, paperwork, and patience, that dream was finally becoming reality. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a practicing medical professional, resigned from her job in India. Their bags were packed, emotional farewells had been exchanged, and their hearts were filled with anticipation. The future they had hoped for was finally within reach. This morning, filled with hope, excitement, and plans for a new beginning, the entire family boarded Air India flight 171 to London. Before takeoff, they clicked a cheerful selfie and shared it with relatives - a snapshot of a new life waiting to begin. But they never arrived. The plane crashed. No one survived. In an instant, a lifetime of dreams was reduced to as...

We often make plans - vacations, celebrations, careers, dreams for the future - believing we have time. But life is fragile, and its course is never guaranteed. The truth is, none of us know when or how our journey might end. You could be heading out on a vacation, excited for a peaceful break, unaware that tragedy may strike in the form of a terrorist attack. You might attend an IPL celebration with friends, simply hoping for a joyful day, never imagining a stampede caused by unexpected panic could claim lives. You may be flying abroad for work, to visit loved ones, or to return home - and suddenly face the unimaginable: a flight crash. Perhaps you’re studying medical science, pursuing a better future, living in a high-rise hostel - when a tragic accident, like a plane crashing into a building, turns everything upside down. These scenarios, as frightening as they are, remind us that life is not in our control. It's unpredictable. No one knows when or how their last moment will com...
