A fossil fuel is a fuel that consists of natural processes, such as the anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms that contain ancient photosynthesis-based organic molecules that release energy during combustion. Typically, these organisms and their fossil fuels are over 650 million years old and over a million years old. Fossil fuels contain high carbon levels, including oil , coal and natural gas. Peat is also a fossil fuel sometimes. Kerosene and propane are common derivatives of fossil fuels. The fossil fuels differ from low carbohydrogen ratios (such as methane) to volatile materials (such as petroleum) and almost pure carbohydrate products, such as anthracite gas. In hydrocarbon fields alone, oil-related or in the form of methane, methane can be detected.

As of 2018, oil (34%), coal (27%) and natural gas (24%) were the world’s main sources of energy, accounting for an 85% share of fossil fuels in worldwide primary energy use. Nuclear (4.4%), hydro-electric (6.8%) and other renewable sources (4.0%), including geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood and waste). The sources were non-fossil (4.0%). The world ‘s share of the final energy intake of renewables (including conventional biomass) was 18% in 2018. Global energy demand rose almost double its average of ten years by 1.5 percent annually and the highest since 2010, at 2.9 percent over 2017.

Fossil fuels are continuously made up of natural processes, but are commonly categorised as non-renewable resources, as they are created millions of years in length and are exhausted much quicker than new ones.

According to the World Bank ‘s development indices collected from officially recognised sources, fossil fuel consumption (half of total) in India was 73,58 half in 2014.

The oil and natural gas sector in India was first discovered in 1889 near the village of Digboi in the state of Assam, where oil and gas were deposited in the region. The Indian natural gas industry started in the 1960s, when the Assam and Gujarat gas fields were discovered. India’s crude oil reserves as of March 3 1 , 2018 were estimated at 594.49 million tonnes ( MT) or 1339.57 billion cubic metres (BCM) of natural gas reserves.

India imports 82% of its oil needs by 2022, and aims for 67% to be replaced by local science, renewable energy and indigenous ethanol fuel by 2022. In 2018, India was the 3rd largest importer of 205.3 million tonnes, including crude petroleum products.

There are significant environmental issues about the use of fossil fuels. The fossil fuel consumption produces approximately 35 trillion tonnes (35 gigatons) carbon dioxide (CO2) annually. Natural systems are expected to consume just a small amount of this, with a net rise of several billion tonnes of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere per year. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that increases radiative forcing and causes global warming and acidification of the oceans. A global campaign for low carbon renewable energy production is ongoing to help reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

Better education is very important for everyone to move forward in life and achieve success. It helps in building confidence in us as well as in building our personality. Schooling plays a great role in everyone’s life. The entire education system has been divided into three parts like primary education, secondary education, and higher secondary education. All levels of education have a special significance and place. Every parent wants to see their children going towards success, which is possible only through good and proper education.

The importance of education has increased greatly in today’s society. There are many uses of education but it needs to be given in a new direction. Education should be such that a person can get acquainted with his surroundings. Education is a very necessary tool for the bright future of all of us. We can achieve anything good by using this means of education in our life. A high level of education helps people to create a separate identity. The time of education is a very important time for all, socially and personally.

The first school of any person is his family, and the mother is called the first guru. Education is the weapon with the help of which one can face the greatest difficulties. It is education that shows us the difference between right and wrong. Getting an education is the right of every living being.
Education itself creates employment opportunities. Today the same country comes under the category of the most powerful, which has the power of knowledge. Gone are the days when battles were fought with swords and guns, now only big battles are won without bloodshed from the brain.

The percentage of educated people in India is quite low as compared to other countries. About 100 percent of the population is literate in England, Russia, and Japan. The literacy percentage in Europe and America is between 90 to 100 whereas in India the percentage of literacy in 2001 is 65.38.

While calculating the literacy rate in 1951, 1961, and 1971 census, persons of the age of five years or above have been awarded ie all children below the age of nine years are illiterate irrespective of their educational status. Have done.

In the 2001 census, a person is considered literate who can read or understand a language. To be literate it is not necessary that the person has received any formal education or has passed any examination.

Education is the act of learning things around us. It can understand us easily and helps to deal with any problem and creates balance throughout life in every aspect. Education is the first and foremost right of every human being. Without education we are incomplete and our lives are useless. Education sets us a goal and helps us to move forward by working on it throughout our lives.

Man is essentially a social animal. Life for us is a long journey full of challenges and problems. We do not want to wade through it alone, but crave for company and loyalty of another individual who will provide a shoulder to lean on and share some of our responsibilities. Thus, the institution of marriage was created in which two adults of opposite sex formally tie the knot in a socially and legally accepted and enduring bond that is meant to last an entire lifetime.
However in the last few decades of globalization, this time-tested arrangement has come under threat. Unbelievable as it may sound, marriage has begun to lose its importance and sanctity. People today express openly,” Do we need to get married at all when we can have everything that marriage offers without formally tying the knot? The Secular education and scientific temperament of people which make them question everything and women have become independent socially and financially and see no problem in living alone. As a result, live-in relationships have become quite common.
The legalization of ‘live-in’ relationships in Maharashtra has raised a great controversy all over India. But then the question that arises here is, why is it that more and more people prefer to have a temporary live-in than to have the permanent baggage to a marriage? How come a society as conservative and as traditional as the Indian society has given place to an idea as modern as ‘live-in’? Marriage is considered to be the sacred bond between a man and a woman. So is the concept of ‘live-in’ immoral? When the government is ready to acknowledge the existence of live-in relationship in India and is making legal arrangements, why has it become a social issue? Marriage or a live-in relationship is a concern of two individuals and the role of society has to be the least in a democratic set up of India where we guarantee certain freedoms to individuals and one such freedom is to choose your life partner. Whether you choose a marriage or a live- in kind of arrangement, it should not lead to one as ethical and moral and the other as unethical and immoral. I think this is and should be more logical way of thinking.

These dynamics reveal the whole range of changes in the family system- its structure, functions, core values and regulative norms. This has resulted into a substitute for the deep routed family and marriage system called as a “Live-in Relationship” The legal definition of live in relationship is “an arrangement of living under which the couples which are unmarried live together to conduct a long-going relationship similarly as in marriage.”
In present time more and more couples choose not to marry, but they desire to have long-term relationships without marriage. Thus they live together without being married, just like spouses. This arrangement is termed as ‘Live-in Relationship’. Live-in relationships among urban, educated, upper-middle class young people began as a declaration of independence, as a way of keeping away from the ‘shackles’ of institutionalized marriages. In fact, it’s a willful rejection of the institution of marriage, and of the restrictions and inequalities it has come to stand for. Live-in relationships, pre-marital sex, divorces, words that were taboo just five years ago, define the changing face of relationships in India today. Live-in relationship is a very progressive concept that gives couples the time to find out if they are compatible.

After months of denial, India’s Narendra Modi government is finally conceding that the economy is in trouble. The country’s gross domestic product (GDP) in the April-June quarter of this financial year grew at a meagre 5%—the lowest in six years. This is a steep fall from the roughly 8% growth clocked in the same period about two years ago.What is alarming, though, is that even this 5% growth may be an overestimation given the many infirmities in India’s revised GDP estimation methodology introduced four years ago. There is now no denying that the economy is losing steam, based on a host of economic indicators, besides GDP growth. Most glaringly, automobile sales in August declined by nearly 25% year-on-year. The sector has seen large-scale retrenchments of workers, and major auto manufacturers have declared “production holidays.” Besides, growth in exports and imports have slowed down over the past five years and the average annual industrial growth rate in the same period, as measured by the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), is a dismal 3.5%.Initially, the Modi government brushed aside these indicators, claiming that “New India” is a private consumption-led story, with large-scale employment being created in the gig economy, which is not adequately captured in official figures. Yet, recent events like the layoffs at restaurant aggregator Zomato, flies in the face of this official stance, and the government can no longer remain in denial.
However, all that is only a part of the story. A country’s GDP is the money value of all goods and services produced in a given year, net of intermediate inputs. The growth in GDP is usually measured in “real” terms—or taking inflation into account. For this, GDP at current prices is converted into constant prices, based on prices in a particular “base-year.” Roughly every decade or so, the base-year is moved forward to reflect changing economic structure, relative prices, and better data sources, among other things. Usually, such periodic revisions lead to a marginal expansion of “absolute GDP,” due to better capturing of economic activity, but “GDP growth rates” do not change. In 2015, as a routine matter, India’s central statistics office introduced a revised GDP series with base-year 2011-12, replacing the earlier series which had 2004-05 as the base year. This time, though, it was different. The absolute GDP in the base-year (2011-12) contracted 2.3%, while annual growth rates in the following years increased substantially.

For 2013-14, GDP by the new series grew at 6.8% compared with 4.2% in the old series. Such wild swings drew widespread suspicion, given that it was out of line with other economic correlates such as bank credit growth, and industrial capacity utilisation. Two studies that have independently studied the official GDP numbers support the contention of a possible overestimation. Based on a cross-country econometric exercise, Arvind Subramanian, India’s former chief economic advisor, concluded that the true average annual GDP growth rate between 2011-12 and 2016-17 maybe 4.5%, against the official estimate of 7%.Sebastian Morris of IIM Ahmedabad (along with Tejshwi Kumari), in a time-series econometric exercise using official quarterly GDP data, has suggested that the average annual growth rate between 2012-13 and 2016-17 maybe 5-5.5%, compared with the official estimate of over 7%.With each passing day, new anomalies have come to light. For instance, the November 2016 demonetisation of two key banknotes was an economic disaster, according to evidence adduced by many scholars. It destroyed output and jobs, particularly in the informal sector, which accounts for between 45% and 50% of India’s GDP and up to 85% of employment. Yet, puzzlingly, GDP for 2016-17 grew at 8.2%—the highest in the decade. India’s GDP may now be growing at a much slower rate than the official 5%—probably somewhere between 3% and 4.5%.If 4% is taken as the more realistic number, then most of the Narendra Modi government’s budgetary calculations would go haywire, as absolute GDP size is the “universal” denominator in macroeconomics. For instance, to attain Modi’s target of a $5 trillion economy by 2024, the required annual growth rate would shoot up to over 10% from the official requirement of 8%. Even attaining the official 7% growth, recorded during the last five years, would be an uphill task as the recently-announced fiscal stimulus and banking sector rejig would appear too modest. Only an ambitious public investment programme can pull the economy out of the rut. In the early 2000s, when the economy was decelerating, the AB Vajpayee-led government triggered a cycle of infrastructure-led growth by launching the Golden Quadrilateral project to connect India’s metro cities by high-quality roads and the PM Gram Sadak Yojana to connect all villages by motorable roads. Similarly, to address the much-discussed rural distress prevailing now, India’s mammoth jobs programme, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), can be re-invigorated to revive rural capital formation and employment generation. The state, therefore, must steer investment growth, until the private sector’s animal spirits are back.

We all make trades in life . We trade our time. We trade our energy. We trade our hard –earned money. We trade our attention. Hi, welcome once again to yogatraining4u.com.

Many of us move through life in constant motion, never stopping to reflect on where that motion is taking us. If the trades we are making daily are letting us live our life best lives. If the trades are giving us more quality time with those we care about most. If we can turn up for them fully engaged, energized and enthused.

The trades we make in life take a toll on us physically, mentally, and emotionally.

1. Trading my time, energy and enthusiasm for status and a corner of office: Like many of us, I spent part of life chasing the corporate dream just because of more money, more responsibility, catchy job tile and many more kudos. But many interesting things happened like more responsibility often came with stress and headache, each job title change got stale quickly. I wanted to understand these feelings and got into some self- introspection. We are not all not all carved out to be entrepreneurs or self-employed, it’s fine. Find your own fit and embrace it. There are many ways for us to earn our living. Here I am aware of my trades and mostly happy to make the and if needed I will need to make plan.
2. Broader lessons : I want to live my life, that may be opposite of where you are and what you need. Your trades might be aligned to finding a corporate job where you get a pension and pay check. Its ok , your trades needs to be trades you are willing to make. What is exactly that we have an awareness of the trades we are making in life. That we aware of where we are spending our energy, time and efforts. Essentially, aware of where we are spending ourselves. This is a powerful prism through which we can objectively view everything we do. Equally we may realize we are making trades we rather not, trades that are taking more from us than they are giving back and we can then take action according.
3. Questions we can ask ourselves: We can keep trades we are making front and centre in our minds by asking simple questions to ourselves. Are the trades we are making worth the energy, time , time and money we are spending on them? Are we likely to see a return on our investment? Are the trades we are making helping us get closer to our goals? Are the trades we are making beneficial to our relationships? Are the trades we are making leaving us energized? Are the trades we are making aligned with our moral codes? If not, maybe we should be making different trades.

Be aware of where you are making trades in your life. Make them selectively. Give them your full attention and handle them with the care they deserve.

For more interesting topics, stay tuned with us. Today till this much only. Have a nice day.

The art of being human does not mean you judge people because they do not understand how elevated you are? Above other people? Your concept of immaterial spiritual life starts with questions like ‘Who am I?’ ‘What is life?’ ‘What is death? And ‘Why you have come here?’

It is significant because it acknowledges the important existential questions.

Actually, life is a stage and we are actors here. Life is all about accepting the way you are. Life is all about seeking people who need your help. You cannot expect ease from life because life is a test and tests are not easy.

If you are still thinking why you have been sent here, if you are still juggling with concept of why you are here, you have not lived yet. Everything happens for a reason. Let’s repeat, everything happens for a reason. There are certain incidents that happen in your life, they only make you strong. They break you physically, they deform your body but they transform your soul. That is life.

In life, we have this thing in our minds. We call it perfection. We want everything to be perfect. We want ourselves to be perfect. There is an image in our head about everything, perfect life, perfect relationship, perfect career and perfect amount of money that we earn, no matter what. Nothing is perfect in this world. We are all perfectly imperfect and that is perfectly alright.

We are not sent here to become the perfect people. Those people who tell you how to look perfect, even they are imperfect. Try to fight this fear of looking perfect. In those imperfections, you have to listen to your heart. You do not have to look good for people, you do not have to be perfect just because other people want you to be perfect. If your soul is perfect from within, that is alright. This is all what you need to be and what you want.

You know what makes you perfect? When you try to do something good for people. When you feel someone’s pain and how beautiful pain is that it connects you with people. No other medium can connect you with others, but the pain. So you see, how beautiful these imperfections are that because of these imperfections you can connect with people then why are we all running after being perfect? What is the point?

Do not die before your death. We all die. Death is inevitable, it can happen to us to anytime. ‘Because you could not stop for death, let death stop for you!’, be that person. Be that person, when you die, you become the memory of others, because ‘When you was born, you cried and the world rejoiced and when you will die, you will rejoice and the world will cry!’ This is what death is.

People are so lucky they do not even realize. You must be thinking: Okay, you are lucky in what sense? Well! The breath that you just took was a blessing. Embrace it. Be grateful for what you have, and you will always, always end up having more but if you will cry for the little things that you do not have or things that you have lost. You will never ever have enough.

It is okay to be scared, it is okay to cry. Everything is okay but giving up on your life should not be an option. We always say that failure is not an option. Failure should be an option because when you fail you get up, and then again you fail and then you get up. This keeps you going. That’s how humans are strong. Failure is an option, should be an option, but giving up is not.

This is actually ‘The Art Of Being Human’. Do not think much about what people say. Listen to yourself because when you will smile, you can make people smile.

Hope you all have enjoyed this article. Stay tuned for more updates. Till then goodbye. Have a nice day.
