"A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" The Power of Speaking Softly in a Loud World Allow kindness in our voice today, For all the harsh words leave wounds that stay,, Shower humility and humbleness through behaviour, Positively reflects and acts like saviour,, Speak with purity and love to those who're small, Their hearts' are divine, they understand it all. To all the strugglers whose path is steep and long, Offer words that make them courageous and strong,, Life serves battles yet to face, Let our voice be everyone's safe place,, Might our love make anyone's day, Our smile can be their hope of ray,, For those whose autumn years running near, Whose stories deserve a gentle ear,, They don't need any advise, Just our generosity and beautiful voice,, Speak softly of the life we have known, Each word a comfort freely shown,, And to those who've lost and silenced their way, Remember almighty's mercy as you say,, The words th...

In the annals of Indian history, few figures have left as indelible a mark as Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, affectionately known as Babasaheb. A polymath, a jurist, an economist, and a social reformer, Dr. Ambedkar's life was a testament to the power of intellect, perseverance, and passion. Born into a marginalized community, he defied the shackles of caste and societal expectations to emerge as a beacon of hope for millions.

He recognized the intricate web of oppression that bound Indian society, particularly affecting women, and dedicated his life to dismantling these structures. Through his writings, speeches, and legislative efforts, Dr. Ambedk...

Capt Gopinath launched India's first budget airline in 2003 In the summer of 2005, retired army officer-turned-businessman GR Gopinath announced that he would enable Indians to fly at one rupee or less than a cent. It was an incredulous sales pitch from the founder of the country's first budget airline. Air Deccan, his then two-year-old no-frills airline modelled on European budget carriers like EasyJet and Ryanair, had already made flying affordable to millions of Indians. Capt Gopinath's tickets cost half of what competitors charged. Now his airline introduced "dynamic pricing" where a small number of "early bird" customers could travel at a rupee. Latecomers would pay a higher ticket price, which would still be substantially lower than competitors. Not surprisingly, booking counters were overrun with customers, many of them first-time fliers. Critics howled such pricing methods would wreck the industry. "The one rupee ticket fired the imagination...

On the eve of Maha Shiv Ratri, worshiping the idol (Shivling), visiting temples is ritual. Today let's explore the teachings that bholenath teaches all humans and are immensely helpful in meeting the eternity of life in a meaningful way.  1. Everything comes from Nothing and returns to nothing -> zero is bounded and universal truth of life. Shiva teaches to be grounded when there is everything and faithful when there is nothing. Because source and destination is nothing it's always the journey. Life is also itself a journey, not a destination to reach.  2. Emphasize on practice not just philosophy -> usually if we start following any literature, norms or any one's teaching, it ends up to ample of confusions. What is right and what is not. The beautiful solution is to act. Because actions are real teachers, just like pratical knowledge is far better than theoretical one.  3. Swallow the poison of life - develop ability to turn negativity into strengths. Life's syno...

Described in her own biography as “a forgotten heroine of Indian science,” Bibha Chowdhuri was, until recently, often overlooked for her accomplishments. From missing the chance to win a Nobel Prize due to a lack of resources to having her work on a project erased while her colleagues received national attention for theirs, the first woman Particle Physicist in India deserved more than anyone gave her credit for. Born to Break Barriers Bibha Chowdhuri was born in 1913 in Kolkata, India. While her family was progressive and valued education, the rest of their society did not: women who pursued an education were rare, and those who did were highly discouraged.

She was the only woman in her class.Upon earning her Masters, Chowdhuri was just the third woman to have ever received a postgraduate degree in physic...
