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.

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 ...
