At the time of independence, India was bequeathed with a shattered economy, widespread illiteracy and shocking poverty. The entire politico economics structure has to be reconstructed for genuine development of the country. Contemporary economists divide this story of India’s politico-economic growth into three phases, the first phase being the 45 years after independence and then the decades from the 1990s is called the second phase when the idea of free market economy was introduced and currently we are in the third generation reforms where existing measures are scaled up and new delivery mechanisms are being created. First Phase After Independence, the policymakers in India launched the project of economic development with heavy involvement of the state and a democratic polity. The economic development in India followed socialist-inspired policies in the early phase of its independent history. This included state-ownership of many sectors. As a result, in the first thr...

What are tiny daily habits? How that could be life changing? What is a Habit? Habits are routine behaviours done on a regular basis. They are recurrent and often unconscious patterns of behaviour and are acquired through frequent repetition. Many of these are unconscious as we don't even realise we are doing them. But as a behaviour becomes a habit, as it becomes automatic, it moves into the basal ganglia, which is one of the oldest structures in our brain and it’s near the centre of our skull.

It serves as a mental connection between a trigger thought or event (stimulus) and our response to...

Just as the earth prepares for a change—the most constant thing it has ever known—by adapting constantly to a new way of existing, you can learn to embrace the changes that life throws your way. And with the right mindset, what once seemed like an obstacle becomes an opportunity to grow. Change can be scary. It doesn't matter if you are going through a small change or a big one, doing something totally different than you are used to can be terrifying. So what is CHANGE? Change is that phase of your life, which helps you grow, makes you think out of the box, changes your perspective, and if all these is done with a right mindset one can definitely change this world. But change is very hard, for us, as individuals, and perhaps even more difficult for organizations. The status quo can be so much ...
