Superstitions have been deeply rooted in cultures across the world and India is no exception. From hanging lemons and chilies at the door to fearing a sneeze before leaving the house, many of us have grown up around these beliefs. But how often do we stop and question them? Here are 9 common superstitions explained logically with examples so we can move toward a more rational and scientific way of thinking. Always Remember This.  1. Lemons and Chilies Are Meant to Be Eaten Not Hung at the Door. Have you ever seen lemons and green chilies hanging from shop entrances or vehicles to ward off evil? Reality check: Lemons and chilies are food items rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Their purpose is nutrition, not protection from imaginary forces. Example: If these items truly absorbed negative energy, wouldn’t they need to be disposed of safely like hazardous waste?  2. A Cat Crossing Your Path Isn’t Bad Luck It’s Just a Cat. Many people stop or turn back when a cat crosses their ...

Why does a driving license have an expiry date? It is a question many of us have asked, especially when we know how well we can drive. Driving is not like solving math problems or memorizing facts that fade with time. It is a practical life skill, like swimming or riding a bicycle. Once you learn it and practice it regularly, you usually do not forget it. So why should a person, who has been driving safely for 10, 20, or even 40 years, suddenly be treated as unfit or unauthorized just because a certain date printed on his license has passed? Let us take a simple example. Imagine Ramesh, a man in his late 40s, who has been driving since he was 18. He knows every corner of his city’s roads and follows all the traffic rules. One morning, while driving to work, he gets stopped at a traffic checkpoint. Everything is fine, his car is insured, he is wearing a seatbelt, not using his phone. But his driving license expired a week ago. The officer tells him he is technically breaking the law. Ra...

It’s a strange time in the world of work and employment. From bustling tech startups to traditional manufacturing floors, HR departments and job seekers alike are scratching their heads. Because today, three seemingly contradictory problems are growing side by side. Together, they paint a very real picture of the chaos we call the modern workforce. People Don’t Have Jobs Everywhere you look, someone’s hunting for work. Scroll through LinkedIn for five minutes and you'll find countless posts that begin with "Actively looking for opportunities" or "Open to work." Fresh graduates, skilled professionals, even experienced executives are jobless, underemployed, or stuck in roles far beneath their capabilities. Why? Companies are downsizing to cut costs. AI and automation are replacing entry-level roles. There’s also a growing gap between what people are trained for and what the market actually demands. A real-world example: a mechanical engineering graduate ends up ...

We all feel like giving up sometimes. Maybe you're tired. Maybe things aren't working out. And there's a voice in your head saying, “I can’t do this anymore,” “This is too hard,” or “I should stop.” But pause for a moment. What if this moment isn’t the end, but the beginning of something great? Most people give up just when they’re about to succeed. Why? Because they feel tired, discouraged, or believe they’ve already failed. But here’s the truth: that feeling of “I can’t” often means you’re closer than you think. Let’s look at some real people, from India and around the world, who almost gave up but didn’t. Because they kept going, their lives changed and so did the world around them. Thomas Edison failed 1,000 times while trying to invent the lightbulb. People thought he was wasting his time. But he kept trying and finally made it work. He once said, “I didn’t fail. I just found 1000 ways that didn’t work.” Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam wanted to be a fighter pilot but got r...

India just launched the 0.5 Front War. The sequel to Operation Sindoor . No sirens. No smoke. No fire. No fuss. Just lists. And a quiet knock at your door. They hacked us with votes. We responded with a pen. And with law. This is India’s secret war. Where every fake name is now a ticking time bomb. Where a clipboard is more powerful than a Kalashnikov. “Aapke pitaaji ka janm certificate hai?” A simple question. But it cuts deeper than you think. This isn’t bureaucracy. This is a purge. This is war. No headlines. No drama. Just quiet erasure. Welcome to the 0.5 Front. Where names vanish from voter rolls like melting snow in the valleys of Kashmir. Let me take you through how we got here. In 2014, they laughed when Modi revived Aadhaar. But they missed the quiet brilliance of a biometric bomb. 130 crore fingerprints. Ghosts. Doubles. Clones. All flagged silently. Logged quietly. In 2015 came the NPR, the National Population Register. Door to door, mapping lineage, land, and legac...

Have you ever come across a word, a tool, or a concept that felt so new and strange, only to realize later that it had been around for years, maybe even centuries? It’s a phenomenon we all experience. When something appears in our life for the first time, it feels revolutionary, but in reality, it may have been part of the world long before we noticed. This blog explores the idea that “nothing is truly new, it just appears new to us when we experience it for the first time.” We'll walk through real-life examples, both big and small, that show how awareness, timing, and context change how we perceive what’s around us. 1. The COVID-19 Pandemic: A Wake-Up Call, Not a New Language When the COVID-19 pandemic struck the world, it introduced millions to words like: Quarantine Isolation Pandemic Epidemic Ventilator Immunity Social distancing To many people, these words felt brand new. It was the first time they were hearing them daily on news channels, in office emails, and i...

Have you ever paused and asked yourself, “Who’s really in control of my life?” If your answer isn’t a confident “Me,” it’s time for a wake-up call. Far too many people go through life unconsciously giving their power away. Not to a dictator, not to some villain, but to people’s opinions, the pursuit of money, or the weight of past experiences. And here’s the truth. It often happens subtly, over time. Before we realize it, we’ve become prisoners in our own lives. Let’s break down this invisible trap and explore how you can step out of it, for good. I. The Hidden Cost of Letting People Control You Humans are social creatures. We crave acceptance, connection, and community. But when that need turns into people-pleasing, fear of judgment, or constantly seeking approval, we start living someone else’s life instead of our own. How This Shows Up Choosing a career based on family expectations Staying in toxic relationships out of fear of being alone Altering your personality to fit...

In recent times, a noticeable trend has emerged: many people are increasingly ignoring messages from WhatsApp groups. What was once a go-to source for quick updates, family banter, and community news is now being sidelined by users who are consciously choosing peace of mind over constant digital noise. The Decline of Trust in Group Information One of the key reasons for this shift is the growing concern over the authenticity of information shared in WhatsApp groups. Misinformation, half-truths, and unchecked forwards have made it difficult for users to trust the content they receive. Whether it’s fake news, exaggerated health tips, or politically charged messages, many are no longer taking group messages seriously. Unlike verified news channels or official apps, WhatsApp groups are often filled with opinions presented as facts. With no clear source or verification, people are becoming more skeptical and rightly so. Digital Fatigue and the Search for Peace Another major factor is digit...

We've all been there. One day, someone approaches you with a serious tone and says, “You know what they said about you?” Suddenly, your chest tightens. Maybe it's confusion, hurt, or even anger. Your mind begins to race, wondering what was said, who said it, and more painfully, why. Hearing that someone has spoken wrongly about you is not just frustrating; it can be deeply disheartening. Especially when you know the words aren’t true. But here’s a perspective that may help you handle such moments with strength and grace: If anyone tells you something wrong about me, simply ask them, “Do you really know him or her?” Or just lighten your heart and let it go. Let’s explore how to respond wisely and peacefully in such situations. First, pause before you react. Imagine you hear from a mutual friend that someone from work called you “lazy” behind your back. Your first instinct might be to confront them, demand an explanation, or defend yourself with frustration. But reacting in the h...

In the noise of daily life such as deadlines, disappointments, dreams unfulfilled, one quiet but powerful act often goes unnoticed: smiling. Not the forced kind for photos or the polite one we give in meetings. But a real, grounded smile. The kind that says, “It’s tough, but I’m okay. I choose peace anyway.” This article is a gentle reminder that a smile can be one of the most powerful responses to life’s unpredictability. Smile, Even When You Lose We’ve all been there, giving our best to something and still falling short. It's frustrating. Disheartening. But what if the victory you hoped for was needed more by someone else at that moment? What if life, in its quiet wisdom, was just setting you up for a better win later? Smile. Not because you lost, but because you still have the strength to try again. Smile, Even When You Lose Something Loss is a part of life, whether it’s a dream, an opportunity, or someone close to us. And yes, it hurts. But maybe what slipped away was never ...

In a culture that values harmony , respect for elders , and avoiding confrontation , many grow up believing that the ideal person is someone who is liked by all and never causes trouble. On the surface, this seems noble. But here’s a deeper truth: If you have no enemies, it may mean you stayed silent when your voice was needed the most. Yes, being liked by everyone feels safe. But silence during moments of injustice is not peace - it’s passivity. And often, that silence helps maintain the very systems that hurt people. Understanding the Quote The quote “If you do not have any enemy, that means you were silent when you needed to speak very necessarily” holds special meaning in society. We’re taught from childhood to “adjust,” to “let it go,” to “stay quiet in front of elders,” or to not “argue” with those in power. But what happens when corruption , injustice , or oppression becomes part of everyday life? If no one dares to speak, then wrong becomes normalized. Silence is not alway...
