     As the year ends, we can sit and reminisce the gifts that these 12 months have brought to us. We may choose to be grateful for whatever we have received and learned from the lessons that came our way. The next step would be to work towards new goals. A year is enough time to gather a stack of new experiences. But everything would come to naught if we don't have defined goals to direct our actions. Have you thought about the resolutions for 2022? If not, resolve to do something fresh or make a promise to stick to goals that need more time to attain fruition. Here, I have shared a few of them to make your life healthier and happier in the upcoming year :) 1. Build a better budget. If there's one New Year's resolution that will help you the most in the long run, it's making a vow to save more money. Before you head back to the office, outline a budget that works for you — and make a plan for how you'll stick to it. Apps like Mint and You Need a Budget (YNAB) can h...

Do you recognize this machine/company? ASML machine Now a question: What’s the most important component of a smartphone?   Yes, that’s correct. The CHIP.      This is the single most important component in a smartphone and our Indian tech is outdated by at least 25 years.      We are yet to make the perfect silicon ingot from which wafers are made. Then patterns (actual chip design) are made on wafers using light and tech is known as lithography.     Now ASML is a world leader in this and owns around 85% world's share in this. They literally rule the market. The first picture at the start of the answer what you saw is of the same litho machine ASML makes. Intel, Qualcomm, TSMC, Samsung, and all other chip-making companies buy machine from them year after year. You can’t make “advanced” chips without this machine. Not possible.           There is more than 90% of chance (actually 100% if iPhone) that your pho...

As we now know that we can’t buy happiness with money and there is no other shortcut to happiness. It is something that you feel from within. In addition, true happiness comes from within yourself. Happiness is basically a state of mind. Moreover, it can only be achieved by being positive and avoiding any negative thoughts in mind. And if we look at the bright side of ourselves only then we can be happy. Imagine a little mouse in a giant maze, which scented some cheese in the distance. The smell source is far away. The maze has a lot of routes, but only one of them leads to the desired piece of food. The survival instinct makes the mouse search for food and runs through the maze. But the majority of routes will bring it only to dead-locks and traps. The same thing happens with a man. His pursuit of happiness makes him run away from the poor state towards the fools’ paradise, which looms somewhere in the distance. But the majority of routes will bring him to dead-locks and traps, th...

Divine conch or Sacred chank commonly known as shells   As per Hindu mythology at the time of Churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan), the eight Ratna(jewel) obtained was a shell.

“Before you call yourself a Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, or any other theology, learn to be human first.” CONNECT TO CARE The absence of a deep emotional connection between humans and the natural world is at the root of the environmental crisis. Close your eyes for a moment and see what comes up. Can you visualize the place in exquisite detail? The sounds, the colors, the smells, the subtleties that only you know.  Do memories surface? Perhaps you have known this place for a long time. Maybe you spent golden moments from your childhood here? There might be happy memories tinged with sadness or regret? How does it feel when you bring this place to mind now? Please don’t rush. Take a moment to connect. Now another question. How would you feel if this same place was under imminent threat? Imagine someone is destroying it right now. What do you feel? Anger? Sadness? Shock? Resignation? Nothing at all? Can you imagine that you might actually do something immediate and tangible to...

December 29 th , 2019. There were still many memories and presents of the recent Christmas, and more excitement for the upcoming New Year. It was going to be just another year, as we all thought, there would be much more resolutions, trips, and promises we shall fulfill this year. But this day marked the start of another dark page in the history of mankind. The corona outbreak, starting its way from China, continued the disrupts all around the world. From first-world countries to the very poor, it did not discriminate. The TVs were flooded with news reporting the number of deaths, nearly every minute. Death cast a spell upon us, in the most unexpected way.   But what had caused it? Why was, after millions of years of inventions and so-called leading every other species of this planet, a tiny microorganism destructing the root of this glorious species? Was it because one man didn’t know bats were inedible? Was it just another country’s plan to rise up to the top? All of the reasons ...
