N. Raghuraman's column: 'Weekend economy' may attract more attention in the future
I know chefs who stay home on Mondays and Tuesdays. On Wednesdays, they go to different places during the day and do research and reach the restaurant in the evening, so that they can serve the customers who come in between the week. Then work late into the night from Thursday to Sunday. For a long time, restaurants in south Mumbai and small outlets in areas like Dadar have been open only four nights a week. This makes customers eager and demand always outstrip supply. This is because entrepreneurs have sensed the shopping trend of Mumbaikars, who spend more on weekends or around the weekend.
Dr. Chandrakant Laharia's column: Who takes care of the children when parents go to work?
A crying child in daycare does not scold, but asks for affection. He needs a voice, a gentle touch, a lap, a toy, or even a song. The news from Bengaluru shattered this trust. According to reports, videos from Capgemini's daycare at the Brookfield campus showed cruelties such as locking children up to the age of two in bathrooms and hitting them with a toilet jet. Five caregivers were booked and now the centre has been closed. It did not happen in an irregular crèche, but in the corporate premises of India's tech capital. Such centres assure parents that the child is safe, now you do the work
Pt. Vijay Shankar Mehta's column: Make it a habit to forgive the new generation
In the business world, those who are less experienced and older, they complain that the new generation's working style is troubling. People change jobs like peeling peanuts. People have the same complaint from this generation at home. However, it is not the fault of this generation in all this. The whole nature has either changed or we have changed. In such a situation, it is not possible to have children in the same way as old people. When we are dealing with these children, pay attention to a few words. Naaz-Nakre: One of the meanings of Naaz is pride and pampering. Tantrums mean stubbornnes
Jean Drez's column: 99% of the population's problems can be solved by the 1% "super-rich"
Recently, the Paris-based World Inequality Lab released an important report, called the Global Justice Report. The World Inequality Lab is a research group led by eminent economist Thomas Piketty. The report talks about tackling two serious crises facing the world today – climate change and economic inequality. Climate change is a serious threat to our very existence. The Earth is getting warmer every year. The Earth's temperature has risen by 1.5 degrees compared to before the Industrial Revolution. At the current pace of warming, it could soon reach 3 degrees. In some areas, the temperatur
Pt. Vijay Shankar Mehta's column: Yoga is capable of turning loneliness into solitude
Loneliness and fear of the future are haunting young people in the corporate world and elders in the family. This is also reflected on the faces of those who have earned a lot of happiness and wealth in the world of jobs, business. And loneliness descended into the lives of the elders in the family so much that old age began to feel like a great pain. In the language of the world, there is a word 'social capital'. Think of it this way that when people meet each other, trust each other, spend time together, that invisible power is called social capital. There is a lot of development in many are
N. Raghuraman's column: Giving less money is not like saving, but investing in mediocre things
A few months ago, we hired a house-help, as the first one shifted to another city after marriage. The new employees were in a difficult situation and were in dire need of a job. We first explained the responsibilities to them and then asked how much salary they would take. We were surprised to hear their price. We understood that her financial situation was too bad for her to bargain. Since we knew that one way or the other they would know the salary of the previous employee, we said that you will get the same salary as the previous employee. Hearing this, his happiness knew no bounds. Since s
Pt. Vijay Shankar Mehta's column: Keep seeing God, it makes the eyes successful
The one whose tears have dried up cannot perform devotion. Recently, I met an ophthalmologist and he said tears are eye medicine. But as you age, there is a dryness in the eyes. Some life experiences even dry up tears in the eyes. Therefore, older people should be extremely careful with the eyes. Do two things. One is what Kakbhushundi ji told Garuda ji - Nij Prabhu Badan Nihari Nihari, Lochan Sufal Karun Urgari. Garuda ji, by looking at the face of my Lord, I make my eyes successful. Therefore, you should continue to see God, through which your eyes become successful. And secondly, if you kee
Minhaj Merchant's column: Excessive spending in elections promotes corruption
Contesting elections is an expensive job. Parties have two major requirements to contest elections to the Lok Sabha or Vidhan Sabha in India. First, to raise large sums of money for your candidate's campaign. Second, to win over the opposition candidates to increase their seats. According to the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), five national and 21 regional political parties officially received a total of Rs 7,445 crore from donors during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. This is a legitimate part of election funding. The controversial electoral bond scheme that allowed parties to donate
N. Raghuraman's column: Save children from a world that values show more than work
The large number of emotional stressors our children and teenagers are facing today can seem difficult to overcome. These include things like lack of sleep, academic pressure, and loneliness. But the problem that is increasing in the world is the number of young people undergoing treatment, that is anxiety. And this is also the biggest concern of parents. Children with anxiety often avoid things, show extreme fear of separation, or cling on. Again and again complain of problems like stomach pain, which have no obvious cause. Suddenly they get angry. Usually such children repeatedly ask for tru
Insistence on giving a perfect life to a child: Not having a brother and sister does not share important things, even weak in upsetting and persuasion.
People's attitudes around the world are changing rapidly. The couple now wants to have a child. They think that if they have a child, they will be able to give him all the happiness, good studies and luxury. But have you ever thought that by doing this, you are pushing children towards such solitude, where they do not have a brother or sister to share their hearts...? From the US to Europe, the number of families with only children has doubled. The fertility rate has fallen to record levels. But in this 'quality parenting' cycle, the most beautiful thing has disappeared from the house... Cute
