Procrastination is the act of putting off work for no particular reason. Some guides and experts say that you’re procrastinating when you’re not doing a task that needs to be accomplished by a certain deadline. 

In fact, a recent study I did with 2,219 respondents showed that 88% of all people admit to procrastinating at least one hour a day. That’s more accurate. Why? Because we all delay or postpone a task for no good reason. Sometimes, we start a task or project, but we end up delaying the work. We don’t get it done.

Benefits Of Stopping Procrastinating

Lower anxiety—The more we procrastinate, and the longer we wait to get started with important things, the more anxiety and stress we have.

Higher self-discipline—Research shows that procrastination is not only a time-management problem. One of the biggest reasons we procrastinate is low self-discipline.

Better work—People who don’t procrastinate accomplish better work. When you work with less stress, anxiety, and high self-discipline, you give yourself the chance to do better work. 

Common Challenges

No intrinsic reason—What’s your drive? Why do you do what you do? Too often, we set goals and pursue things for extrinsic reasons

Fear—There are many kinds of fear that make us procrastinate. Fear of failure, rejection, novelty, success, suffering, hardship, you name it

Lack of knowledge—If you don’t know how to do something, learn how to do it. But if you think you can’t do that, you’ll never start.

The Process for Producing Plastic Water Bottles

The production of plastic water bottles requires up to 17 million barrels of oil each year. This amount of oil has the ability to maintain up to one million cars fueled for an entire year. The water bottle production process utilizes the petroleum product polyethylene terephthalate (PET), this product requires an extremely large amount of fossil fuel to both make and transport. Furthermore, the manufacturing of a water bottle requires three times the amount of water needed to fill it. That large amount of water becomes unusable and is wasted due to its exposure to chemicals during the production process.

Harmful effects of plastic

In landfills, floating on oceans, or rivers and on sidewalks. It was approximated that 46,000 pieces of plastic trash are floating on the ocean per square mile. This plastic is killing animals, leaking chemicals and disrupting ecosystems. Moreover, sixty million plastic bottles are disposed of in one day in the Unites States alone, and eighty percent of those bottles end up overflowing landfills. Each bottle can take up to one thousand years to decompose, leaking dangerous and harmful chemicals during the process. Some toxins leaked could cause cancer and reproductive disabilities.

The disposal of plastics is one of the least recognized and most highly problematic areas of plastic’s ecological impact. Ironically, one of plastic’s mostdesirable traits: its durability and resistance to decomposition, is also the source of one of its greatest liabilities when it comes to the disposal of plastics.

What we has responsible citizens can do?

Following a simple reduce, reuse, recycle, lifestyle does not only mean that you are actively saving the environment, it also means that you are benefiting yourself by possibly saving hundreds of dollars using reusable bottles or water fountains. Moreover, you can also go the extra mile to ensure that any plastic you happen to use is indeed being recycled. Additionally, it is crucial to learn to identify false advertising that is promising healthier or cleaner water by doing your own research and understanding the characteristics that make consumable water you can avoid falling victim to large organizational propaganda. Finally and most importantly, you can speak up and spread the word on just how much plastic bottled water is impacting the environment.

Successful Case Studies on Plastics Ban within India:

Case Study: Operation Blue Mountain in Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu

 Operation Blue Mountain campaign was led by Supriya Sahu, the district collector in 2001 to ban the use of plastic in the district. The campaign was crucial to unclog the river sources and springs in the popular hill station of Nilgiris. The experiment has been documented by erstwhile Planning Commission and UNDP as the best practice on governance from Indian States. In order to make people understand, the campaign used pictures of choking animals. They also explained how plastic clogs drains and also seeps into the lake and other water bodies.

Case Study: Maharashtra- Ban on Plastics

Maharashtra will be the 18th state in India to ban single-use disposable plastic. Maharashtra has banned disposable products manufactured from plastic and thermocol (polystyrene). Maharashtra plastic ban carries penalties starting at Rs. 5,000 and goes up to Rs 25,000 and 3 months of imprisonment. The government has played a major role by bringing in the law, mechanism of imposing it, the fines and the paraphernalia that goes with the implementation. Now, flower vendors are sending flowers to people’s home in cloth bags. Vegetables are being sold in cloth bags. Women in self-help groups are looking at making jute or cotton bags as a major source of income. Medicines are coming in small paper pouches. Tea and coffee stalls, college canteens and restaurants are doing away with plastics. Also, the corporates like Starbucks, Coca Cola and Bisleri have risen to the occasion and taken up responsibility of collecting waste plastics from Mumbai and recycle it or up-recycle it to different use. People participation can be seen as NGOs, schools, celebrities, industrialists have begun campaigns to beat plastic pollution.

Life is complex. One day you’re happy, working on your daily tasks, and the next day you wake up, thinking: “What the fuck should I do with my life?”

Am I right? We’ve all been there. When one of my friends talking to me last week, I asked her: “How’s it going?”

She said: “Am doing well. Been interesting times figuring out which direction to go to next in my life journey.”

Last week I talked to a collegeau who was in the same position. And everyone will face the same challenge one way or the other over the course of a long career.

I’ve been there many times as well. No one is immune to being confused. Let’s face it — there are literally a million things you can do with your life.

And most of us realize that we can’t do everything we want.

Great health, wealth, and happiness don’t happen by themselves. If you want good things to happen, you must take massive action.

But what type of action? What should you do?

I want to share 2 strategies with you that I’ve personally used in the past to figure out my next big move.

1. Burn Your Bridges

Look, I can’t tell you to want to do with your life. No one should decide that other than you.

But I can tell you about ways that help you to make a decision. People are lazy by nature. If it was up to us, we would protect the status quo, sit at home, and eat cookies all day.

We must realize that without a reason, we will never change.

“But what if I don’t have a reason?”

Force a reason.

You can’t expect good things to happen when you’re living a cushy life. You need a spark. Sometimes that happens from the outside (a family loss, being fired, dumped, etc).

But if nothing happens, you have to create the spark by burning your bridges.

Instead of wanting to change, you must change.

You can also burn the bridges in your mind. To grow, we must say goodbye to old beliefs.

2. Do Nothing

I don’t mean ‘eat cookies all day.’ No, I mean don’t try to force anything. It’s the exact opposite strategy of burning your bridges.

So? Life is full of contradictions. Get used to it.

Look at your life. Have you tried burning your bridges? Didn’t work out? Try a different strategy.

I never get why people get all hung up on opposing strategies. Life is dynamic and requires you to adapt all the time.

And that’s the most important thing about figuring out your next move. It’s called ‘figuring it out’ for a reason. It’s not called ‘here’s your life path served on a platter.’

Just be okay with that. It’s about the journey anyway. You better enjoy every step along the way. Especially the difficult ones.

Everyone Can Get Started—Few Persist

The way I see it; there are only two options. You either learn or die. Within an instant, you can decide to invest in your education for the rest of your life.

Abraham Maslow put it best:

“You will either step forward into growth, or you will step backward into safety.”

I’ve got my mind made up. Which one do you choose?

Yes,don’t we all just want to achieve our to do list of tasks at the end of day and have a good night sleep …………knowing that there will be no pile of tasks of today’s to achieve tomorrow. With increasing distractions that is becoming a herculean task to achieve everyday !!!! So here are some pointers that would help all of us:

Productivity is a concept that’s widely misunderstood. The main reason is that we use the word productivity on a macro and micro scale. Based on the above, there are two types of productivity:

1. Workforce productivity: The total amount of goods and services workers produce in a certain period.
2. Personal productivity: The relevant output of an individual in a certain period.
3. We need to focus on the most important of the two – Personal Productivity – which will help us achieve all our tasks on time.

• There are three additional benefits of improved productivity:

Innovation: our increased productivity leads to more innovation and new technology. The more productive we become, the more we can innovate.

Higher engagement: The more involved and passionate someone is about their work, the higher their levels of work engagement is.

Self-confidence: The more productive you are, the more competencies you can develop. Hence, the more confident you will become.

Productivity obstacles

Distractions — The modern-day workplace is an inherently distracting place. Enter any office building and you’ll see countless people in meeting rooms, walking around, drinking coffee, or chatting about the latest episode of a popular entertainment show.

Personal reasons — Life is demanding. Some of us work 10 hours a day (or more). That leaves us only a few hours of spare time in the evenings.

Not enough training — We want to be more focused at work. We want to be more calm in our personal lives. We want to make sure our lives matter. But we don’t see productivity as a skill one can learn. 

Widely Used Productivity Tips

1. Have a journal for self-improvement – If you looking for self-development – Journaling is a must.

2. Pomodoro Method: Take Strategic Breaks To Improve Productivity -This method instantly improves your focus. It’s been highly researched.

3.Goals don’t replace systems — Changing our perspective on our goals will change the way we work. This is an essential article about using systems to become more consistent at work.

4.Time blocking – Improve your focus — This article proposes a structured way of working. I’ve been using this method for years.

5.You can achieve anything if you work on one thing — Productivity doesn’t mean doing more work. It means working on the right things. And when you focus on one right thing after the other, you can achieve pretty much anything that’s humanly possible

Best Productivity Books

1.The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker: This book provides a  practical perspective on productivity that I think every knowledge worker should read. The most important lesson I’ve learned about work is this:

2. Essentialism by Greg McKeown – Productivity is about doing the right things. And this book helps you to focus better on what matters to you, personally. Once you know what you’re after, it’s easier to get there.

The Kite Runner:

The Kite Runner, a fiction novel by Khaled Hosseini, depicts the kindly love between a well off Pushtun kid, Amir, and his Hazara hireling, Hassan, during the barbarous war among Afghanistan and Russia. Amir and Hassan grow up together simply like genuine siblings. The racial boundary between Pushtuns, who are an unrivaled race, and Hazaras, who are regularly seen as sub-par slaves, doesn’t thwart Amir and Hassan from framing a solid sibling bond. Their relationship is past one of an ace and a hireling; past two colleagues. They are two spirits bond firmly by affection, kinship, and dependability. Nonetheless, much the same as the short smoothness before a tempest, a treachery in a dim rear entryway loosens up the once-unbreakable bond among Amir and Hassan. Their relationship is additionally broken by more forfeits, tears, and lies.

The principle character of the book, Amir, is credible on the grounds that he is balanced, demonstrating both agreeableness and weakness in his relationship with Hassan. Most Pushtun aces aren’t near their Hazara workers and some treat them ineffectively. Be that as it may, Amir, dissimilar to the vast majority of different young men who mortifies the Hazaras, treats Hassan well and builds up a solid friendship with Hassan. In spite of his kind disposition towards Hassan, notwithstanding, Amir additionally shows weakness since he never goes to bat for Hassan nor gives him help when Hassan faces difficulties. Then again, Hassan is a level character, demonstrating just two characteristics all through the book – thought and steadfastness. Hassan consistently aides and takes great consideration of Amir. He additionally remains respectful to his lord in spite of any conditions. Hassan realizes that Amir have double-crossed him, once, yet twice, yet he despite everything treats Amir well and remains faithful to his cherished ace.

I think this book is truly fascinating, or you can say it is near being overpowering, in light of the fact that you can never anticipate what will occur straightaway. Perusing The Kite Runner resembles cruising a yacht in a substantial fog: you can never observe through the hazy thickness yet your pontoon is moving at a fast. So before you understood, you catch “reefs”, or surprising occasions which the perusers will never anticipate. These “reef” occasions consistently give a solid impression about the book’s plot. They additionally give solid inspiration to me to continue turning those pages.

Bombshell: The achievement and embarrassment of Fox News is anything but a new story, yet given reality from the 2016 lewd behavior episodes that tormented the system, the theme is presently grub for a few books, a TV arrangement, and now the big screen.

“Sensation”, which hit theaters this week, recounts to the story from the point of view of three ladies who were vital to outrage – stays Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Carlson, and a youthful and hopeful female news maker.

Having quite recently wrapped a couple of evenings of marathon watching “The Loudest Voice in the Room”, a Showtime arrangement dependent on the 2014 smash hit history about Fox News Channel president Roger Ailes, I was very much educated regarding Ailes’ unpredictable residency in charge of the system. Be that as it may, the arrangement rotated more around Ailes than the casualties of his times of his lewd behavior.

“Stunner” adopts an alternate strategy, following a direct storyline concentrating on the encounters of Kelly (in an astounding exhibition by Charlize Theron), Carlson (played by Nicole Kidman) and the youthful maker (played by Margot Robbie).

The movie opens with Kelly, who talking straightforwardly to the crowd, gives a voyage through the Fox News Channel realm, acquaints us with Ailes (played by John Lithgow), and makes way for the remainder of the film.

You open a newspaper, swipe through the pages and come across the section of reviews, your eyes meet the headline and this time the genre is different, it is comedy. To critique comedy is a task itself as comedy is subjective. What might be hilarious for me, might be a light laugh or maybe nothing at all to you. It sometimes also arrives at the expense of other people’s struggles etc. A review is basically a literary critique where the book that is being reviewed is analysed and the opinion of the writer is written on the basis of style, content and merit. It can also be considered description of the book and an evaluation of the significance and meaning too. Sometimes a the reviewer also comments on the past books of the writers and his general way of writing and presenting.

Mr. Martin portrays “Born Standing Up” as a memoir as opposed to a life account, “because I am writing about someone I used to know.” He need not indicate that he has gone through years dismembering that tragically deceased somebody since this book is written in the directly from-the-love seat voice of an obedient analysis and that doesn’t make Mr. Martin near-sighted or dull; it basically gives him more than the typical level of knowledge into why his comical inclination advanced the way that it did. Indeed, he had a dad who told a paper that “Saturday Night Live” (a long-running American TV show which Mr. Martin has hosted several times) was the most noticeably terrible thing on TV and whose own defeated desire as an entertainer prompted stone-confronted dissatisfaction with his child’s prosperity. Yet, the more youthful Mr. Martin is keener on picking up understanding than in doling out retributions.

“Born Standing Up” is a firmly engaged book, keeping its accentuation to the manners which were created by his mind and his own life during the early stages of his life. It is delineated with photos that show Mr. Martin getting a handle on for a strong physical style. One of the book’s most amusing contacts is an image of him in full radical Navajo formal attire, with a basic inscription: “No comment.”

In any event, for pursuers effectively acquainted with Mr. Martin’s grave side, “Born Standing Up” is an astonishing book: keen, genuine, sincere and a confessional booth, without being sentimental. Decades after retiring from his Stand-Up Comedy career, he glances back at a time of development and advancement, wondering about the idea that his endeavours may have driven totally no place in the event that they had not uncontrollably succeeded, and he would have also failed if some endeavours had not failed. While there is a lot to approve his feeling of having been fortunate, no one put it superior to Elvis Presley, whom Mr. Martin once met behind the stage when both were getting a sense of the status of the entertainment business rulers. “Son,” he says Presley said to him, “you have an ob-leek sense of humour.” 

Bombshell is an American movie directed by Jay Roach, written by Charles Randolph and cinematography effects by Barry Ackroyd.. Based on a true event, Bombshell shows the fight of a journalist, Gretchen Carison, fired by the chief executive of Fox agency, Roger Ailes who with other victims raise a voice against Roger for harassment. The film was released in 2019, after 2 years of the death of Roger Ailes. Megyn Kelly (Charles Randolph) also play a vital role and most of the movie revolves around her.

The movie starts with a conflict between Donald Trump, candidate for US elections for the presidency and a famous journalist with her own show ‘The Kelly Files’, Megyn Kelly. After the conflict and accusations made by Megyn on Live TV, she received a lot of criticism from Republicans. Then the story takes us to Gretchen Carison, who was harassed by Chief executive of Fox Agency gets fired by him and starts a fight with him by filing a lawsuit against him for sexual harassment. As the story unfolds. We come to know that Gretchen was not the only one who Roger harassed. She then inspires every woman to come forward and make him pay for what he did.

The movie is a strong portrayal of how rich and powerful people uses newcomers and struggling artists, who are still climbing the ladder to success. The people who love biographies and documentaries will be glued to their chairs throughout the movie. While there is less of entertainment factor in Bombshell, the movie provides us with the full knowledge of what happened at that time. The short quotes said by the characters in the movie such as “Nobody stops watching because of a conflict.

The lighting was great throughout the movie. The cinematography was applaudable there were 2 or 3 scenes when the camera directly zooms in towards the character while he/she was delivering dialogue which was quite distracting. In some scenes, the characters talk while looking directly into the camera which added some good effects in the movie. Music given by Theodore Shapiro in the movie was also appreciable too.

The movie also shows that while news channels and anchors play a vital role in forming the public’s opinions but it also leads to conflicts among them. New agencies along with delivering the news and current affairs to people, it influences them a lot. Bombshell contains some really powerful scenes, gaining our sympathy towards the victims of harassment. The movie can easily be compared to HBO’s film ‘The loudest voice’, based on the same scandal.

An insight into Fox News Corporation, Bombshell movie is worth a watch. It will take you back to 2016 and tells us the story through women’s point of view. The acting by all the characters was meritorious. The news of harassment was a shock to all public, thus justifying the title BOMBSHELL.

Colleen Hoover, born on 11 December 1979, is #1 New York Times bestselling author. With 11 novels and 5 novellas, colleen hoover has never failed to impress her readers. Most of her novels are for young adults.

Regretting You is the latest novel by her released on 12 December 2019. Unlike other, this story by Colleen Hoover has more emotional approach than a romantic one.

Although most of her novels are for young adults, this novel is different from the rest of them. The storyline focuses on the relation between a mother and her daughter, grabbing interest in all kind of readers. The fictional novel was loved by her fans as soon as it was released.

The novel revolves around a mother, Morgan Grant and her 16-year-old daughter, Clara. They both are different from each other and barely go together. The only person who keeps them attached is Morgan’s husband and Clara’s father- Chris, whose unexpected death in a car accident put both of their lives at a stop. Morgan is determined to ensure that her daughter does not follow her footsteps while Clara is agitated by her mother’s predictable nature. The novel taught us that no matter how close we are with someone, there is always a wall of secrets separating us.

The story is beautifully presented. One feel compelled to read it after reading its description. One can relate the novel to real-life how mother’s concerns never end and how a child becomes rebellious when he/she reaches the teenage years. The book will make you fall in love with the characters, will make you cry for them, sympathies with them. Colleen brings the story of grief, betrayal and heartbreak in this novel.

The novel in a way teaches us the importance of communication in our life, how it is extremely important to put your views forward in order to easy two way dialogue. It is no mystery what miscommunication or lack of communication can lead to.

“Right after something tragic happens, you feel like you’ve fallen off a cliff. But after the tragedy starts to sink in, you realize you didn’t fall off a cliff. You’re on an eternal roller coaster that just reached the bottom. Now it’s gonna be up and down and upside down for a long, long time. Maybe even forever.”

With such lines in the novel, colleen once again impresses its readers and attracts more fandom. But the plot of the story, after a certain point becomes quite predictable. One can easily guess what will happen next and the ending. However, with 363 pages long book, the journey matters more than the destination. Some points in the story remain untold which makes the readers frustrated and unsatisfied. More answers would have been appreciated.

Rating the book 3.5 out of 5 stars. Not one of the best work of colleen hoover but is a must-read. One can find the book on Amazon as an e-book and Kindle version for 129 rupees. The book can also be downloaded free after subscribing for a free month subscription of kindle unlimited.

Animal farm which is a ‘fairy story’ as said by the author George Orwell is a satire on the modern history. The novel was published in 1945, but the thoughts and the scenarios presented in the book, makes it relevant now as well. The book is said to be written as a satire mainly focusing on Stalin. Through this book Orwell showed his political stance on idealism deceived by power, corruption in politics, communism and Stalinism. The totalitarian rule is showcased through a story of a farm in an engaging way.

When the animals that were oppressed from Manor Farm defeat their master Mr. Jones, in what they call a revolution, and take over the farm. Pigs, shown as the most intelligent among the animals take the governance in their hands. Slowly and gradually a form of dictatorship begins.

George Orwell, a British writer, famous for his novel ‘1984’ has been a strong political critic and that can be seen in his book Animal Farm. Orwell has seen the Spanish Revolution against the fascism and wrote his book ‘The Homage to Catalonia’. And, that inspired the theme of Animal Farm, which is, a revolution deceiving its supposed aims and purpose. Orwell wrote nine books which changed his lifestyle from being a part of British Imperial Establishment to a literary and political rebel, before he died in 1950.

The easy language and short length of the book makes it easier to read, even for a person who is interested in politics but not in reading big fat novels. Every page of the book is worth reading. If the reader knows the political background of the book or some of the aspects of the novel might be related to the politics the reader’s state, he/she might get closer to the fantasy world created by Orwell. Even if the reader doesn’t want to get deep into the politics and the history of the story presented in the book, the story in itself is a brilliant and interesting one. This is one of the best literary works in the socio-political genre. The book also questions the blind faith that prevails among the public.

One can easily identify the political figures represented through the characters of the book. Napoleon represents Stalin, Old Major represents Karl Marx and there are many more. Role of media and information in the totalitarian rule is also shown in the book. The political power of the book can be seen with the fact that many publishers refused to publish it as Britain and Russia led by Stalin were part of Allies in the World War II. Political assassination, provoking speeches, corruption, all have got a part to play in Orwell’s story.

The last paragraph of the book sums up the story in such a manner that gives goose bumps. And, this last paragraph contains just three lines, this tells about the writing style adopted by Orwell which keeps things short and crisp, but effective. The metaphor of animals fits accurately to the book and is used as a masterstroke by the author. The book is a ‘must read’ for the people interested in socio-political issues, history and for the students studying similar issues as

presented in the book. Orwell’s style of keeping his point in the debates of ideology and politics is unique. This 82-page piece of literature might seem biased from a section’s point-of-view and here is the space where difference in ideologies come into play. The craft is too good and inspirational. This book is Orwell’s views on the Stalinism and agreeing or disagreeing to the views is a personal choice. I personally agree to Orwell’s account of Stalin’s Soviet Union and recommend this book to all.

Bombshell, directed by Jay Roach, known for his political films like ‘All the Way’, ‘Trumbo’ and many more, was released in the year 2019. The film is written by Charles Randolph, well known for writing ‘The Big Short’. The film’s leading ladies Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie form a power packed lead cast. The film is based on the famous Fox News sexual harassment controversy.

To summarize the film, female employees at the Fox News facing different issues stand for themselves in a patriarchal and toxic environment around them. It involves Megyn Kelly, played by Charlize Theron taking on Donald Trump, Gretchen Carlson, played by Nicole Kidman taking on the Fox News head Roger Ailes and Kayla Pospisil an ambitious employee trapped in the toxicity of the surrounding environment. This film is an account of how women stood against sexual harassment at the workplace.

Sexual harassment with women at the workplace by their male counterparts is a global issue, which is also the central theme of the movie. Other themes which can be seen in the film are, opposite political ideologies and media spreading propaganda and being biased. The movie is not content heavy, and unnecessary content isn’t thrown towards the audience. It is an easy and smooth film from audience’s point-of-view. The character of Jess Carr (my favorite from the film) played by Kate McKinnon is a totally opposite of the world she is stuck in, and this character is placed as Kayla’s best friend and is used to drive the film with some sub-themes. Firing off Rudi Bakhtiar, played by Nozanin Boniadi was shown well in film. The lead characters are layered well, but multi-layering is missing in some of the side characters. Now, even if the layering of a character is missed in the process of writing, the actor can provide layers to it, but that depth of acting is missing in many of the actors in the film. Three and a half minutes into the movie and there is a fourth wall breaking, to introduce us to the world of this movie. This might interest some of the viewers, but could have been avoided. There can be creative ways to avoid it, which surely adds to the minutes of the film but are good from the point of view of the craft. Siting the example from a classic film ‘The Godfather’ where Coppola uses the craft of blocking in the first scene followed by a conversation between Michael and Kate to introduce us to the world of the film. According to the film the harassment has a hierarchy  (not said directly but interpreted by me), and harassment of women among the colleagues is not show as such.

There were things that could be added to the film and to the minutes of the film, but I think some pieces of the craft were ignored and the movie was released on December 13, 2019 to run the race for the Oscars. Margot Robbie playing Kayla Pospisil got some good bold scenes to showcase her acting talent, and hence was nominated for the Oscars in the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role. Also, Charlize Theron was nominated for Oscars in the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role, and the film won the Oscars for Best Achievement in Makeup and Hairstyling.

The movie is good to give it a watch, and for those who don’t know about the controversy and firing of Roger Ailes, this is totally fresh content. If you are a working woman, this movie will make you re-think about your working environment, and re-thinking upon this is important as some women don’t come to know that they are being harassed. A thought to end this review, in Hollywood the films showcase the real names, use real clips, even if the person in power or a politician is not shown on the right side, on the other hand, in the Hindi-cinema, films like Black Friday, Madras Café and many more don’t get the permission to do so.

• Reduced air travel costs – Expansion in the online travel industry has occurred in tandem with the falling cost per mile of air travel to consumers, as airlines have revamped their fleets with lighter, more fuel efficient aircrafts and focused on lowering fixed costs and increasing profitability.
•  Air Travel is vital to online travel industry because it not only drives sale of flights but also hotel stays and rental car bookings.

Garima Ltd. is an apparel manufacturing company set up in Delhi. Since the quality of the products they were selling was great and the clothes were very unique, the demand for them was always on a rise. New machines were installed at the company for better production levels. The new machines used for the manufacturing were very high-tech and hence very few people in the company, mainly the head officers knew how to operate on them effectively and efficiently without increasing the production costs. The employees in the organisation were not given adequate training as to how the equipment should be used so as to reduce costs and increase the profit margins. This was creating trouble.

Moreover, due to lack of knowledge of the usage of the machine the workers were also unable to meet the targets of production and hence even after managing to get the attention of the consumers towards their product they were rather incurring losses. The high demand for their products in the market now began to fall. This is when the HR manager Mr. Rajesh Gupta decided to take a look into the situation to assess the problem and discuss it with the management and the heads. The problem was then assessed and a solution was found so that the company could get back in the market. A system was devised for the training of these workers where they were given complete information about the machinery and its use.

SITUATION (SAP LAP ANALYSIS)–

Situation refers to the internal or external environment in an organisation. In the case of Garima Ltd. which is an apparel manufacturing company, the internal environment of the organisation was affecting the company. The employees in the organisation were not given the adequate training that was required and hence consumer demands could not be met which put the company in losses.

ACTORS –

Actors refers to the people, individuals or organisations who are involved in the case study. In the case study given above the actors are –

• Head officers
• Mr. Gupta, the HR Manager
• Workers/ Employees
• Customers/ Consumers

PROCESS –

• The interface of actors and situation define the organisational climate and culture, which is important for business process. Process refers to the overall transformation that converts a set of inputs into outputs to recreate a situation.
• In the above situation, the company now has to set up a system so that the workers can be trained to handle the machines. The management along with the HR Department have to device a strategy for training the workers for better functioning of the organisation.

LEARNING –

• After synthesizing the knowledge we gathered from SAP, there is a key learning. It can either be generic or specific.
• The learning of the whole situation is that in order to meet the high demands of the customers/market with reduced production costs and big profit margins the workers have to be given training on how to use the new machinery in the most effective and efficient way.

Alimony, in the law of divorce, is compensation owed to one’s spouse for financial support after a divorce. Alimony aims to support the spouse, not to punish the other. In some places, the word means suspension of assets regardless of future support. Alimony is traditionally given from men to women but sometimes given from women to men.

Bonds of alonyony were first placed by the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Hebrews. This practice has helped to avoid conflicts with relatives of a divorced woman. Under the Code of Hammurabi, a Mesopotamian man who divorced his wife for no apparent reason had to throw away a silver piece. Similarly, Roman law under Justinian I required that gold be confiscated from a guilty partner in divorce.

In England, maintenance was the only thing that was created – probably from an ancient church belief that divorce could not end marriage bonds in God’s eyes. Scandinavian countries treat men and women as equals in divorce churches, allowing repeated claims of injury. Some countries – e.g., Russia, Austria, Belgium and Romania – allow divorce as a standard cancellation of the contract, financial questions are resolved amicably.

Alimony can be temporary – support and costs at the time of litigation; or permanent – support after that. Temporary maintenance is designed to give one party the opportunity to establish or defend a divorce claim. The provision of temporary or permanent maintenance is within the scope of the court, such as the frequency and amount of payments.

Nihilism is often described as ‘a philosophy of rejection, rejection, or rejection of some or all aspects of thought or life’ [Craig, Edward, ed. 1998. “Nihilism.” In the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy. London: Routledge]. It has been interpreted from its earliest days as a complete disregard for all forms of authority – whether that authority be God, a sovereign, or a moral code. Specifically, the concept of nihilism emphasized the link between authority and the power of translation, political supremacy, and hermeneutic ability. My article attempts to present both conceptual history and its implications for current theory. While introducing key strategic objectives – investigated by a team of researchers under my direction at the Jerusalem Van Leer Institute in 2010 and half of 2011 – I hope to clarify what makes this concept relevant to a younger generation of critics and scholars. As shown in this article, conceptual history has always marked the limits of formal analysis, that is, it reflects the boundaries of political discourse and marks those of its ‘outsiders’, dissidents or those who create a hypothetical threat beyond the core of political rhetoric. In short, nihilism is where any discussion about ‘the limits of political analysis’ should begin. My article shows – at the same time from a broader perspective on the history and diminished reality of Israel – that nihilism is closely related to the time of stasis (political disability or suspension), on the other hand, and in an attempt to open up new hermeneutics. of effective and effective analysis, from outside the common political language, to another.
