Today i read the TOI article about movie stars getting more money from endorsements than movies.Some other days  you must  have come across articles by prominent sports analyst ,blaming poor performance of cricket players on excessive ads.They argue that ,the valuable time that could have been spent on training and practice is wasted in doing endorsement. But in my opinion it is not a retarder rather its an accelerator.Think yourself to be a business man or CEO of the company which is going to hire stars,will you by any chance hire a fading star or a not so well  performing star.I think most of us will say no.You won't hire Irfan Pathan.You will  prefer to associate with some one who is at his zenith.Even if his price is astronomically high  or if you have financial constraints you will choose a professional ad model.This process of reward and punishment makes him work harder.They are ready to go the extra mile. Secondly stars have to be more r...

Today I am going to narrate a story, that is true to best of my knowledge.The story is about a girl, I had met   some years   ago.I always had a wrong notion that a beautiful girl’s life is full of joy,she faces no problem. Her life is like a fairy tale.I watched a movie called “malena” ,where a beautiful girl was harrased by others ,who were jealous of her beauty.Then,I thought it happens only in movies ,untill I met this girl. I first saw her at a tution. she is one of the most elegant looking fairies. she appears to me as a verdant garden full of blissful flowers. Her smile enthralls my imagination, it seems like a hundred suns beeming to the sky. I saw her every other day at my tution.I was attracted by her looks.I wanted to talk to her,but she was always surrounded by her friends and I didn’t have guts to approach   her.I feared her friends could make fun   of me.This continued for two sems.After which I heard she had a bf.So, I felt it would be just waste of my...

Warren Buffett is one of the most famous names in money making (investment sector).I n 1965  ,he took control of  Berkshire Hathaway for $10000 ,By 2005 it's worth was around $30 million. He is now second richest man on earth, with a wealth of around 52 billion . Some say he is a magician,performing  some kind of magic in the investment sector.But every magic in reality is an act of illusion performed by a genius .He makes money simply by choosing the right places to invest in.He follows a principle called value investing.Value investing is basically    buying  securities  whose shares appear under-priced by some form(s) of  fundamental analysis ,But in reality those shares have potential to increase. Warren Buffett takes this value investing approach to another level. Many value investors aren't supporters of the efficient market hypothesis , but they do trust that the market will eventually start to favor thos...

Before i begin let me first of all clarify what a burqa really is.Burqa is an enveloping outer garment worn by women in some Islamic traditions to cover their bodies in public places. The burqa is usually understood to be the woman's loose body-covering (Arabic: jilbāb ), plus the head-covering (Arabic: ḥijāb , taking the most usual meaning), plus the face-veil (Arabic: niqāb ). France has always been a liberal state. In 1905,france passed a bill prohibiting the state from recognising or funding any religion. A/c to it,"Schools directly operated by the national or local governments must not endorse or promote any religious dogmaSchools funded totally or in part by the national and local governments by law must not force students into religious education; they should remain equally accessible to children of any, or no, faith." . This was followed on 22 June 2009, when the president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, said that burqas are "not welcome" in France, comme...

Inspiration literally means something or someone which gives you enthusiasm to achieve your goals and lift you when you are down. When people are asked about their inspirations, their answers vary. Some are inspired by their parents; some by sportspersons, many others are there who are inspired by actors, social activists, journalists, writers and scientists to mention a few. You will be surprised to know that A. Raja, the main accused in 2G scam, is also an inspiration to many in his local community. People of his community are quite proud of his achievements and aspire to reach his heights; Thousands of them had gathered to greet him, when he arrived at the Chennai airport after quitting from cabinet. I am not being sarcastic at those people, but just want to illustrate that inspiration can anyone or anything. It’s not important who is your inspiration, but the most important thing is what you learn from your inspiration and how you implement it in your day today life.   As for ...
