Is Being Judgmental Wrong?

Judging others seems unacceptable in our ethical standards. At the same time, asking others not to judge also makes you the very thing you denied to be! A few weeks ago, I attended my last postgraduate class. The class teacher was one of the best teachers I have had in my life so far. I felt so indebted for her kind mentorship throughout my academic pursuit that, I kinda felt sad reminiscing a farewell. I know, being emotional at the age of 26 for some ‘classroom sentiment’ is cringe, but I couldn’t help.  You know the feelings of graduation right! However, just within a week, today, I felt the exact opposite feelings for my class teacher for her inconsiderate attitude. We were attending an online exam, and my internet connection got lost for some technical issues. Although I finished my exam on time and mailed her my inconvenience, she refused to accept my script! I was so numb and devastated – as I had put substantial effort into my exam preparation. On top of that, I couldn’t ...

All the Bullshits You Hear About Stress Management

 I nstant stress management to reduce stress Probably we all have the habit to learn things the hard way. We don’t care for others’ advice as long as we don’t face problems personally. And I also believe, none can teach you anything unless you open up your mind. Today I want to share with you three life-hacks to manage stress and work schedule effectively. Disclaimer:  Those techniques work for me though, you can give them a try! And don’t try  ‘MY TECHNIQUES’  unless you can relate those  ‘WITH YOUR LIFE.’ First of all, face it! Stress and depression are real. You can’t expect a stress-free career unless you decide to do nothing in your life. On the other way, if you find your work stressful, probably you are doing something meaningful in your career. However, we can tactfully play it cool to turn our stress into positive energy if we have our  very own  stress management techniques. Before concluding the solutions, I want to share my personal...

How to be a Free Soul?

Honestly speaking,  I don’t know! I have been searching for this answer for my whole life, and here is my basic confession,  ‘I don’t really know how to be a Free Soul.’ But the quest to be a Free Soul is indeed an enjoyable one, that’s what I can confirm for sure. For many years, I thought, being a free soul means having financial independence and being able to do whatever you like. But eventually, I realized, no parameter can define a free soul. And there is no exact amount of money to specify financial independence. For example, suppose you are a millionaire who hardly gets time to spend with your family. If you are okay with being a workaholic, and most importantly, you consider yourself as a free soul – then you are a free soul, my friend. I have a  couple of friends  who traveled the world without having a staggering bank balance or impressive past career. I reckon, being a free soul is all about being compassionate about yourself and your surroun...

Making Money Without Any Risk – And I’m NOT Talking About Bank Deposit

  In Finance, what does arbitrage mean? How to make money without taking any risk? -‘Higher the risk, higher the return’ Or you might have heard the cliche – ‘ No risk, no gain .’ Well, in the realm of financial markets, those words are not always absolutely true. You can, indeed, make money out of nowhere, without even any risk or investment incurred at all! Before you start doubting me, let’s discuss a hypothetical scenario to clear your confusion. First of all, we have to understand what does ‘Risk’ really means. Suppose you want to start a fruit-selling business in your local market. To do so, first, you have to buy fruits with your initial investment. Now here you have taken a risk – you never certainly know whether you’ll make a profit from your investment or not! Maybe you won’t even end up selling anything and all your money and effort will be gone! Now think this way. Imagine there is a grocery store in front of your home, where per kg apple sells for $2. On the ...
