Pt. Vijay Shankar Mehta's column: Relate honesty to truth, because this is where Narayan is
Jobseekers are under pressure, but these days people doing business are also in a lot of trouble. Many businessmen say that pure honesty will be difficult in business, while the drum is beaten the most. Now, the one who is the least dishonest is the one who is honest. That's why people seem to be mentally unwell. One in every eight people in our country is in need of mental health care, this is a matter of concern. Whatever be our GDP, whatever the parameters of development, but about 200 million people are struggling with mental health problems and most of them are those who have embarked on
Abhay Kumar Dubey's column: BJP's work is not going to work without RSS
It seems that just before the completion of 100 years of its existence, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has entered the second phase of its existence. The Sangh has always been active in politics, but before the assembly elections of Haryana, Kashmir, Maharashtra and Jharkhand, its politics was wrapped up in a certain kind of nationalist-cultural mobilization. Despite helping the Jana Sangh and now the BJP in elections, he used to say whenever he wanted that his work should not be put in the category of politics. But what its advocates said in these elections on media platforms can only
Palki Sharma's column: Are our relations with Bangladesh on the verge of breaking down now?
When Sheikh Hasina's coup took place in Bangladesh, it was described as a setback for India. But now four months later, relations between India and Bangladesh are on the verge of breaking down. Diplomatic missions are being targeted, diplomats are being summoned, the national flag is being insulted, Hindu worshippers are being cracked down and there is talk of a ban or boycott of trade with India. How did all this happen? The answer is- Mohammad Yunus and his politics. They are not elected leaders and are in command as caretakers. Their job was to restore order and hold elections. But they are
Pt. Vijayshankar Mehta's column: Resolve for children while getting married
Marriage is one of the sixteen rituals, but now marriage festival has become the fourth big industry, the sacrament has turned into an industry. Because when the approach is commercialized the original purpose is lost. Business is inclined towards pleasure, luxury, resourcefulness and wealth. Therefore, people are gradually forgetting the rituals behind marriage. Today, Shri Ram Mahotsav is being celebrated with great pomp, so why not remember the rites. The seven verses have their place, but the best outcome of marriage at this time should be the birth of the best children. Peace should also
N. Raghuraman's column: Do you know the biggest secret of any business?
If you had to send a cake to your favorite person in the world, which one would you choose? And if being a father is a piece of your heart, I mean choosing a cake for a daughter, wouldn't you choose the best? Obviously, you'll choose. Since my daughter was coming to Udaipur with her husband from the US to attend a friend's wedding, I jumped like a diver into the sea of my nostalgia related to the cake to choose a pearl-like cake for my beloved daughter. In my career as an editor, I specialised in the hospitality sector. And I had the privilege of enjoying cakes from every corner of the world a
What India’s entrepreneurs think about succession and wealth transmission
A recent survey by HSBC and Ipsos of around 200 Indian entrepreneurs reveals interesting trends with respect to their business succession and wealth transmission plans. One in two entrepreneurs do not have a succession plan yet. Among the many reasons, finding a suitable successor ranks first, with almost half the participants in agreement. When it comes to transmission of wealth, more than half of the surveyed have started planning, which the report says is ahead of the global average. Also, the UAE and Singapore are the preferred choice for one in five to move wealth outside India
Pt. Vijay Shankar Mehta's column: In the age of science and technology, devotion is also needed
This is the age of science, technology and education. Now it is difficult to get success without being educated. Gradually, illiterate people are going to suffer a lot. When Ram ji was talking to his brother Bharat on many subjects, he said that education has to be obtained. And by the way, it is difficult to get knowledge. Many obstacles stand in his way. At one place, Ram Ji said that the mind can also give problems for knowledge. But even if someone attains enlightenment after a lot of hardship, Rama puts a condition, 'Karat kasht bahu pavai kou'. Bhakti heen mohi priya nahi soo. If one att
N. Raghuraman's column: Surface signs can tell what is going on inside
As temperatures drop across the country, airline fares have skyrocketed, you've probably taken a road trip this weekend or will be going on a trip in the coming weeks. You must have seen that in the fields, vegetables and fruits like banana bunches are being covered with plastic bags and watered in the evening. That's because less than 10 mercury is good for driving, but can affect weather-sensitive vegetables, reduce photosynthesis, reduce nutrient absorption and disrupt plant metabolism. It weakens the immune system of the plant, due to which the crop is more prone to pest outbreaks. You mig
N. Raghuraman's column: Happiness is a mood that creates a positive mood
I know a young man who joined a Pune-based organisation as a temporary employee in 2015 and got five promotions in nine years, outpacing those who had been working there for 25-30 years. Last week I met the owner of the company at a dinner and asked him why he promoted that particular employee so many times. He said, because he comes to the office wearing a "happiness collar"! You might be wondering what it is? So read on. You may have heard of farm-labourers in the Junnar division near Pune who have started wearing a "C" shaped spiked collar around their neck to save lives. This is because le

Delhi's Health Minister and Aam Aadmi Party's star. Kejriwal's left- or right-hand leader has not been granted bail till date even after filing a petition in the Supreme Court.
