Leader or Follower

          Everyone wants to be a leader, less a follower. The real irony lies here. If the soldiers do not follow the instructions of their leader, imagine the consequences. This is true for every aspect of life. The importance of leaders and followers are somewhat equal. But, in one’s life cycle being graduating to a leader from a follower seems to be a better choice and also in most cases a rewarding one. In the early stages of our life we grow up by following our parents as our leader. Out parents lead us in every aspect of our life at that stage. Sometimes, we find more leadership qualities in one of them and we make him or her, our true leader and role model. In most of our actions we tend to emulate him/ her. We become a follower of our father or mother in our early life and try to inculcate the leadership qualities inherited by him or her or both. Thus we as a follower gradually move towards a developing leader. In our school / college, we figure out a leader for ourselves in

Preparedness

“By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail” Benjamin Franklin           Preparedness; a state of readiness, is in a larger context the cornerstone of success in one’s life. There is not a pinch of doubt that in any matter related to one’s own self, if he or she is not prepared the result will be disastrous. This discussion is mostly centered on the importance of preparedness in professional life which also is applicable in personal life.           “Before anything else, preparedness is the key to success.” Alexander Graham Bell.        Let’s take the case of facing a job interview. What’s the most innocent and initial question an interviewer asks the interviewee? “Tell me about yourself” or “We would like to hear from you” or “Give an introduction” etc. etc. Although the wordings vary, but the inherent meaning is the same, the interviewer wants to know about the interviewee. A very simple question and is known to everyone who goes to face an interview, but the answer t

Water – Most Precious, Lets act

Water is precious and is very much essential for life to be in the universe. We find water everywhere in abundance but to find water fit for drinking is difficult and has to be purchased. Let’s understand some of the interesting facts of the chemical substance called water. When one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen meet in a complex chemical process we get water. Water existing in three different states – gaseous (vapor or steam), liquid and solid (ice). About 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water out of which only 3% is fresh water and the rest 97% is saline water of the oceans, seas etc. Fresh water is available from lakes (87%), Swamp (11%) and rivers (2%) and Lake Baikal in Siberia is the single largest source of water. Although pure water is said to be tasteless but human and animals have developed senses which enables them to evaluate the potability of water e.g. salty etc. The term used to describe the study of movement, distribution and quality o

Developing Solar Cities in Assam

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), way back in 2010 set the ball rolling to harness all types of renewable energy (bio, wind, hydro, solar, geothermal & tidal) and lessen the dependence on fossil fuels by increasing the share of renewable and alternate fuels depending on need and resource availability in a city.   The aim was to increase the share of clean power and thereby reduce the Green house Gas (GHG) emissions. The cumulative achievement target is 1, 75,000 MW by the year 2022. The break up is Solar Power (99533 MW), Wind (60000 MW) SHP (5000 MW) Biomass Power (10000 MW). The share for the North Easter States is 1820 MW out of which Solar Power is 1205 MW and SHP is 615 MW. The individual share of the North Easter States are Assam (Solar Power 663 MW and SHP 25 MW), Manipur (Solar Power 105 MW) Meghalaya (Solar Power 161 MW and SHP 50 MW), Nagaland (Solar Power 61 MW and SHP 15 MW), Tripura (Solar Power 105 MW), Arunachal Pradesh (Solar Power 39 MW and

Trees for us

‘He who plants a tree Plants a hope’. ~ Lucy Larcom, “Plant a Tree” Planted by self on 27th Aug 2011 The sapling fully grown as on 22nd June 2016       Three trillion is the latest estimate of the planet’s tree population, published in the September 2015 issue of ‘Nature’, an international weekly journal of science.  Although this number exceeds the number of stars in the Milky Way, it has also been estimated that 15 billion trees are cut down each year. Europe, India and eastern China have lost much of their original forest cover along with the African forests due to increase in human activity and climate changes. Forest in Southeast Asia has changed drastically and from 1970 to 2009, Thailand and Vietnam lost 43% of their forest cover, Cambodia and Laos lost 22% and 24%, respectively and if the trend continues, more than 30% of the regions remaining forest will be cleared by 2030. However, a study of NASA's Landsat satellite program’s four years data i.e. 19

Live life beautifully

‘The way we dress affects the way we think, the way we feel, the way we act,   and the way others react to us.’ Judith Rasband. The quote made me think and realize the true value in it. It is widely believed that, on an average one has a total of five seconds to make a good impression when meeting with people and this time doesn’t allow one enough time to speak and create an impression. So, imagine the complexity of this and the importance of these few seconds in case of an interview or meeting a new prospect. Further going into a bit detail in this area it has been found that after a series of experiments by Princeton psychologists Janine Wills and Alexander Todorov they revealed that all it takes is a tenth of a second to form an impression of a stranger from their face, and longer exposures don’t significantly alter those impressions (although they might boost your confidence in your judgements). They published these interesting facets on first impression in the July 2006 is
