  Recently, as I was travelling to my hometown, I had some experiences that made me think deeply. I reached Yeshwanthpur railway station and went to a small hotel nearby to freshen up and have breakfast. While sitting there, I observed many people around me — people who were working very hard to earn a simple living. There was an old man cleaning tables, working tirelessly despite his age and tiredness. I also saw a person whose hand was paralysed, but life had not given him a choice — he too was working, carrying out his duties. Both of them were working just to make ends meet. As I stepped outside, I saw a group of young boys who didn’t even have slippers on their feet. Forget education — some of them were on the streets, begging for food and money. At the same time, I noticed how well-developed the city was, filled with tall buildings, big businesses, and rich people. But nobody seemed to notice or care about the small group of people struggling for basic things like food, s...

  As we rush through our everyday routines, we often become mechanical and forget the true purpose behind what we do. It is essential to take breaks — moments for ourselves that help us recharge and rejuvenate. In today’s corporate world, with intense competition and constant pressure, many people fall into depression and turn to substance abuse or harmful habits in an attempt to escape. While these may seem like temporary solutions, they eventually deepen the problem, making individuals dependent and even more vulnerable to mental and emotional breakdowns. Taking intentional breaks allows us to pause, reflect, and restore clarity , offering a healthier alternative to destructive coping mechanisms. Stepping away from our environment and routines brings peace and calmness, and helps us think clearly, realign our priorities, and return stronger. Tomorrow, if you stop working, the world won’t stop, but you will grow. That’s the power of a meaningful break. To make this effect...

Today, many youngsters are struggling and confused about how they can become successful in the future and also stay happy. There are numerous theories that claim to lead people toward success, and even some research scholars have proven that following certain practices can take us closer to it. As I work as a mentor to PU students, I have observed that they possess tremendous vigour and enthusiasm to do something remarkable and achieve success. According to me, success is not just about wealth or fame - it means being happy and content within, while balancing every aspect of life without going to extremes. Nowadays, people exhaust themselves in the pursuit of success and happiness, working tirelessly, falling sick, becoming stressed or depressed. Some even take harmful paths to chase momentary happiness. I have witnessed students who, due to extreme ambition, overstress themselves academically, while others who fail to achieve their goals fall into unhealthy and wrong habits. ...

In today’s world, people are often too lazy to bring perfection into their work and way of living. They tend to take everything for granted, leading a mediocre life. Only a few people in the world today truly lead a life of perfection—a life that requires discipline, effort, and even their sweat and blood. In the West, to some extent, people live more disciplined lives. But the question remains: when will we embrace perfection in our lives by doing everything we undertake with utmost care and dedication? When I refer to perfection, I mean doing even the smallest tasks with elegance, class, and panache. For example, placing our footwear neatly is an act of perfection. It may take a few extra seconds, but it is worth the effort. Even in such small acts, we can bring a touch of perfection. Our Bhagavad Gita says, “Perfection in action is yoga,” [1] which means that whatever work we undertake, when done perfectly, becomes a form of yoga. Concentrating on doing smaller things perfect...
