Earth is devastating because of depletion of natural resources. Nature has enough to complete entire generation needs but scares to meet human greed.  Waste nowadays is the new devil that has surrounded Earth in very remorseful manner. Humans have forgotten that we don't have planet B. Instead of rejuvenating our natural resources, heaps of wastages are replacing the hills and garbage to the mountains.  Not much but at least small efforts from each of us is significant to control wastes.  Zero Waste Starts on Your Plate For this year’s International Day of Zero Waste, the focus is on food – what we eat, what we waste, and how we can move towards a more circular future. The world wastes food on a staggering scale. Every year we throw away about 1 billion tonnes of edible food, nearly one-fifth of all food available to consumers. This impacts both people and the environment. Around 60 per cent of food waste happens at the household level. The rest comes mostly from food ser...

New year for us means  January 1st  according to the Gregorian calendar. Whereas, in the ancient Hindu tradition, the beginning of the year is marked by  Hindu Nav Varsh , the start of the  Vikram Samvat calendar . This day falls on  Chaitra Shukla Pratipada , the first day of the bright lunar fortnight in the month of Chaitra. Hindu Nav Varsh is not just a cultural celebration; it represents a  deeply scientific and spiritual understanding of time . The Hindu calendar, developed thousands of years ago by Indian astronomers and sages, is based on a  lunisolar system  that aligns human life with the rhythms of nature, the movement of celestial bodies, and seasonal changes. Across India, this day is celebrated in different forms such as  Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra, Ugadi in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, Cheti Chand by the Sindhi community, and Navreh in Kashmir . Although the names and customs vary, the meaning remains the same:  the beginn...

May you have the vision to find it, the courage to get on to it, and the perseverance to follow it.” — Kalpana Chawla

Education doesn't define the courage it's the willingness and stubbornness that drives force to stand tall against the huge and powerful corporates to benefit the social cause.  Kinkri Devi was a courageous Dalit Indian activist and environmentalist who defied all odds at a period when there was no social media, little press coverage, and little public interest in environmental issues. She was one of those people who had a strong bond with her motherland and the environment. After fighting powerful, politically influential mining giants in her home region, her name and work came to limelight. Kinkri Devi could not read or write, but built a reputation for herself through her dedication to environmental conservation. Kinkri Devi’s tale and her fight against illegal mining offers a lot of lessons for today’s generation. Early life and contributions Kinkri Devi was born in the hamlet of Gathon, in the Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh in 1925. Her father was a Dalit farmer, and...

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. His unwavering commitment to social justice, equality, and women's rights continues to inspire generations, shaping the very fabric of modern India. Dr. Ambedkar's vision for a just and equitable society was not limited to the abolition of untouchability; it encompassed a broader struggle for human rights, dignity, and empowerment. 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. Chowdhuri stayed in Kolkata to continue her schooling and earned her Bachelor of Science in Physics with Honors from Scottish Church College and her Masters from Calcutta University. 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...

यतो यतो निश्चरति मनश्चञ्चलमस्थिरम्। ततस्ततो नियम्यैतदात्मन्येव वशं नयेत् ! At times, when mind feels fatigueness, unsteadiness, restlessness, and wander to bring it back under the control of the Self.”This verse comes from Chapter 6, traditionally known as Dhyāna Yoga or the chapter on meditation and inner discipline. In this section, Krishna speaks to Arjuna about the mechanics of mental steadiness: posture, moderation, self-observation, and the patient work of returning attention when it slips away. The tone is strikingly practical. Rather than presenting calm as mystical or effortless, the Gita treats it as a skill shaped through repetition, humility, and persistence. Verse 6.26 sits in the middle of that discussion, addressing one of the most familiar human problems: the mind’s tendency to roam. Krishna does not scold the wandering mind. He simply describes it, “restless” and “unstable” and then offers a method that is almost deceptively simple: notice, restrain, return. What the v...

उद्धरेदात्मनाऽत्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत्। आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः॥ - Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 5 Where this verse appears This line comes from the sixth chapter, where Krishna turns the conversation toward inner discipline, meditation, and the work of steadying the self. After laying out how action, devotion, and knowledge intertwine, he focuses here on something quieter but more fundamental: the relationship a person has with their own inner life. Chapter 6 delves into the concept of establishing a sense of inner calm and composure amidst the chaos and restlessness that often characterizes our modern world. It is crucial to clarify that the focus here is not on completely abandoning our daily obligations and responsibilities; rather, it is about fostering a deep and resilient inner disposition that can withstand the various pressures and challenges life presents. When we turn to verse 5, we find it serves as a succinct yet powerful piece of spiritual guidance. Thi...

Bina Das is one such notable figure among Indian revolutionaries, such as Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, and Rajguru, who fought fiercely against the British Raj for India’s freedom. Today, India is celebrating its 79th Independence Day. This is very common among the masses to be aware of the men revolutionaries, but in the context of women, except for some, most people don’t even know about the women revolutionaries, like Bina Das and others. Many women revolutionaries, such as Kalpana Dutta, Preetilata Wadekar, Suniti Chaudhry, etc., have been equally active during the freedom movements, like other leaders. Bina Das was one such young revolutionary from Bengal who fought against the British Raj. As per the Zubaan published book  Bina   Das :  A   Memoir , Bina Das’s involvement was in the shooting of the British Governor of Bengal, Stanley Jackson, at the Annual Convocation Meeting of Calcutta University in 1932. She had done this revolutionary act at the very...

Recent video on social media proved that tug of war between Indian elderly women and same age foreign women, favors the foreign women and later won the match. Elevating the racism that Indians are weak and are born to be slaves. This suddenly erupts anger among Indians but if analysed properly there are areas that needs every Indians keen attention.  India is a capital of diabetic and obesity population. The same country which is rich in agriculture crops, abundantly producing horticulture and rich source of dairy products. India is blessed with the best that nature can bestow yet India is home to majority of unhealthy population of world being so prosperous. Offcourse pollution and adulterations are worth mentioning. While beyond these two man made problems, one major fungus is developing among Indians is laziness. In the name of luxury and show offs, we Indians forget our basics. Indians inactiveness is building unbreakable and robust hurdles that are not convenient to continue t...

Patriotism should not be limited to national festivals or sharing status and memes. It should be beyond just posts because no nation is perfect without its population. Utmost disappointing is that we do remember our fundamental rights but usually forget our responsibilities. Desh perfect ni hota bnana pdta hai. With firm belief and honesty, today as a responsible citizens, pledge to act for the betterment of our beloved nation  1. Civic Sense - it's mere common sense, yet we Indians lack civic sense to major extent. Just following the basic manners, we can make our country clean, hygienic, and respectful. Our rivers, lakes, roads, bus stops, railway station etc are full of trash, obviously bureaucrats are responsible for not managing properly but how can we escape from littering everywhere, spitting at every corner and robbing the public properties. High time to relearn civics sense to make country worth living.  2. Bye bye to colonial mindset - irony is we are celebrating 77t...

इन्द्रं मित्रं वरुणमग्निमाहुरथो दिव्यः स सुपर्णो गरुत्मान् । एकं सत् विप्रा बहुधा वदन्ति अग्निं यमं मातरिश्वानमाहुः ॥ Reality is one but its manifestations are many;'ekaṃ sad viprā bahudhā vadanti,' God is one but to the intellect it appears as many. Truth is one, known by different names. Just like every thing on this planet is unique and to make all the balance, several techniques are used just to validate the authenticity. Similarly, this shlok is certifying that truthness is called by distinct names yet the meaning remaining the same.  Our Vedas and Upanishads, made us realise that nothing is wrong it's always the perspective that matters. Even this way harmony among the diversity of opinions is valued and respected. Just like, the time zone of any person's life, some gets employed at 25, while some gets married at this age. It's all about the time zone. Important is that what life serves us, must be inhaled with gratitude. Because ultimate truth of ...
