Modi is undoubtedly one of the greatest orators the country has ever seen. He can sway the masses through is capturing speeches. He has the ability to speak continuously for hours on any of the topics.

NAMO doesn’t use the ready-made speeches. Most of his speeches are extempore as a result produce long-term and desirable effects on the listeners. His speeches carry with heart-touching subjects which show that he can read the mind of his listeners. His Programme Mann ki Baat is a good example of this.

The whole opposition criticize him of being the face of RSS, a Hindu Organization famous for having Hindu Ideology. Of late many untoward incidents have occurred in the country that have brought bad name on the secular face of the country. The opposition say that Hindu Extremists are behind those incidents. Even some ministers from the Centre have hands in communal tirades which are defiling the harmonious and Secular ambiance of the country. He is keeping mum on such incidents which indicates that he has given mute consent to them and playing in the hand of RSS, his ideological parent. Otherwise being silent is not his nature and style.

No Respect for Opposition –

Though the opposition ( here the Congress Party ) doesn’t deserve any respect for what they have done with the country for the last 67 years, in the democracy the respect to dissenters should to be given. This is a big charge against Modi that he doesn’t pay much heed to the Opposition and this is not good for this temple of democracy. Sometimes the Opposition can also have good ideas to share and they can be a good critic if you take them positively.

If you want to never be happy or satisfied with your life, one great way to do that is to raise your expectations to an unrealistically high standard that can never possibly be met.

This is the essence of perfectionism. It’s the inability to be happy with something until it is perfect, without any flaws whatsoever. Of course, the problem with this mindset is that perfectionism is often an illusion.

Life rarely works out exactly the way we want, in any domain – whether it’s relationships, work, or goals.

And many times being more happy with your life requires that you let go of these expectations and learn to be more content with how things are, rather than how you picture they should be in an “ideal world.”

Many studies are beginning to show the many ways perfectionism can destroy your happiness.

Perfectionism leads to regret and dissatisfaction

In one study published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology, it was found that a “must have the best” mindset can magnify feelings of regret and dissatisfaction.

Psychologists are calling it the “maximizing mindset,” and it’s one symptom of perfectionism. We always seek to choose the best possible option in every given scenario, but that’s not always possible.

These findings are consistent with another recent study published in the Journal of Rational-Emotive & Cognitive-Behavior Therapy that discovered perfectionism can lead to more “post-event rumination.”

This just means that after something happens to us, we are much more likely to continue to think about it and second-guess our choices. This makes it much more harder to let go of our past decisions, and especially our past mistakes.

Perfectionism hurts your relationships

The research continues to build on the negative consequences of perfectionism.

In another recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, it was found that perfectionism can hurt our relationships as well.

Romantic couples who see their relationships as a “perfect unity” (“We are soul mates” or “We we’re made for each other”) are more prone to relationship problems than those who view their relationship as a “journey” (“We grow together” or “Look how far we’ve come”).

This makes sense. Every relationship is going to have problems we have to work through. But if you think you both are absolutely perfect for each other, then it’s going to be hard to accept and deal with the highs and lows of every relationship.

Often times, a more practical and realistic mindset prepares you for the inevitable road bumps in life. And it’s better to prepare yourself for reality than to live in delusion. Magical thinking is a big contributor to “perfectionism” that we should be more mindful of.

Perfectionism negatively influences your work

One of the most common effects of perfectionism is how it influences our work and personal goals.

In a study published in the Journal of Counseling Psychology discovered that individuals who have a greater tendency for perfectionism are also more likely to procrastinate.

When we have a perfectionist mentality, it’s really hard to swallow our pride and say “I’m done.” Instead, we find ourselves constantly changing things, tweaking every little detail, and working non-stop until we finally feel satisfied. Although we never do.

This is also consistent with another study on how perfectionism can lead to “workaholism,” an unhealthy drive to never stop working, which can often lead to more stress, fatigue, and burnout.

Perfectionism hurts your self-esteem and body image

According to a study published in the Journal of Eating Disorders, perfectionism can also hurt our body image and play a role in the development of eating disorders.

We commonly compare our body appearances to the “ideals” we find in movies, TV, magazines, and other forms of entertainment. This can lead us to set our own standards incredibly high, which will often lead to disappointment in our own bodies.

As you can see, perfectionism can destroy our happiness in many different areas of our lives. It’s an attitude that we have to be very careful of. Here are ways to think less like a perfectionist in your daily life.

How to let go of perfectionism
Perfectionism is ultimately a mindset, so the best way to let go of it is to start building a new mindset toward life.

For many truly happy and successful people, they don’t have a perfectionist mindset – but a growth mindset. They understand that life is a process of ups and downs, and we are constantly learning and growing from these experiences.

Unlike the perfectionist, the growth-oriented person doesn’t see their happiness or success in any area of a life as a “fixed place.” Instead, it’s a never-ending journey.

Start thinking in a new direction:

“Mistakes are a normal part of everyday life.”

“Failure is often a necessary step toward success.”

“It’s not about being the best, but trying your best.”

“No single event in the past defines you. Move forward.”

“You’re always growing as an individual.”

“Focus on the bigger picture more than the details.”

“Your flaws and imperfections are what make you unique.”

“There are always new obstacles to overcome.”

“You accept the ups and downs in life with grace.”

Choose 3 of these self-affirmations that you like best.

Now, write each one down on an index card and place it around your home where you’ll see it frequently, for example: a mirror, a fridge, or above your bed.

For the next week, every time you see these self-affirmations, try repeating them to yourself 3 times each (either inside your head or out-loud to yourself).

This is just one small step in changing your thinking to a more “growth-oriented” mindset. With a little conscious practice, this way of thinking will begin to spread into your daily life.

Try one of these exercises

If you want to go one step further in overcoming your perfectionism, I challenge you to try one of the following exercises:

1. Just Complete One Goal Today

Assign yourself a small project, and just give yourself to the end of the day to finish it. It can be anything, the simpler the better: creating a new song or writing a poem. The point is to just do it, and not obsess over the final product. Give yourself permission to say, “It’s done!” without needing to second-guess yourself.

2. Try Failing On Purpose

Put yourself in a situation where you know you’ll fail. You’ll often find that failure isn’t that bad, and it often means you’re challenging yourself in a positive and productive way. Many times, you may even feel better about yourself for trying and failing, rather than never trying at all.

3. Practice Non-Judgment

Meditation is a great way to improve your mindset, especially when it comes to being less judgmental toward yourself and others.

Recent research shows that meditation makes us less reactive to negative feedback in life.

And another new study published in Psychophysiology discovered that mindfulness meditation can help “perfectionists” overcome their mistakes and failures faster, especially when they focus on the “nonjudgmental” element of meditation.

To overcome perfectionism, we have to ultimately learn to not be too hard on ourselves. Accept life’s imperfections while realizing they don’t take away the good and beauty out of life.

Embrace small progress. Embrace the small wins. Be patient with yourself. And keep putting your best foot forward. That’s all you can ever truly ask of yourself.

While the weaver deals with the correct side, his associate takes a shot at the left side transport. The border, the pallu, shading and configuration are typical and not quite the same as the body. On the off chance that the pallu and edge of the sarees is woven in an alternate shade, these are  first independently woven and after that is carefully joined to the body part to make a complete saree. The part where the body meets the pallu and boader is regularly indicated by a criss cross line. In the authentic Kanjivaram Silk Sarees, body, pallu and border are woven independently and afterward interlocked togetherly.

Identify a Kanjivaram Silk Saree

The unique part of a traditional Kanjivaram silk saree is that, the edge, pallu and body shading method that makes the saree different from others and the duplicate ones.

There are less expensive sorts of the mentioned sarees in the market, made using low grade and duplicate zari of copper. These sarees look like original but not the similar in quality. To recognize a duplicate saree you need to be careful and learn more about the materials like fibre, zari and shading of the saree.

To differentiate between an original and phony Kanjivaram silk saree is to pick a couple of free strings from the saree, burn them If the saree is original, it will produce cinders and smell like cowskin or hair . On the other hand burning of atrtificial zari produces no cinders and smell as well.

Another simpler and increasingly possible test is search for the remaining details of zari in the saree. Real zari is made of red silk string, that is then turned with a silver string and plunged in gold. On the other hand if you notice that the colour of zari string is white or some other shading, be sure that there is no authenticity of quality.
