What are Zero Hour and Question Hour in the Parliament

The Winter Session of the Parliament started on a stormy note with a lot of debates and protests going on in both the Houses with regards to the controversial bills being passed. As we all know that the basic essence of the Indian Parliament is to make laws for its citizens and all legislative proposals have to be introduced in the form of bills before the Parliament. Therefore a bill is nothing but a statute in draft and it cannot become a law unless it has received the approval of both the Houses of Parliament and assent of the President of India.

Those with artistic inclinations find the colour selection process joyous and something of an entertaining endeavour. As a fervent grayscale enjoyer though, I find just exploring the colour catalogue to be plenty entertaining.

Top 5 Banking Stocks in India

If one were to regard an economy as a living, breathing creature, money would really be able to live up to its comparison as the “lifeblood” of said economy. But if money, or rather, finance, is the blood of an economy, the banking system is the circulatory system. No really, the banking system is actually a structure consisting of organisations and institutions that help keep the money in the economy flowing from those who have it(savers) to those who may need it(individual and organisational borrowers) and those who may use it(investors). “There have been three great inventions since the beginning of time: fire, the wheel and banking institutions” -Will Rogers.

Once upon a time, there was an industry that was flourishing, growing, and promising. It was known as Telecommunications. Like any other industry, it had pricing power, lots of competition, huge demand, and somewhat barriers to entry. But like every perfect story has a twist, telecom also had one. Something happened in the period of 2010-2016 that the industry got destroyed; it lost its pricing power along with competition and nearly went downhill.

Narayana Health: The factory of Cheapest Heart Surgeries

In the early 1950s, nobody would have known that a boy born in a tiny village in Karnataka would revolutionize how the Healthcare Industry works. Devi was the eighth of the nine children born in a humble background. Pampered by his mother, he was also ambitious from an early age as a boy on a Mission. It’s funny that his first mission was to build up big muscles to bash his siblings, who bullied him while growing up. What’s even funnier is he took up martial arts & body-building classes to fulfill his little aspiration. This laughter & joy of childhood turned into remorse a few years later when Devi’s mother got seriously ill. That was the first time he was introduced to the world of healthcare & doctors. He perceived Doctors as, Gods that saved lives. Sadly, his beloved mother could not be saved due to the lack of quality healthcare & costly treatments. Devastated Devi knew this was a massive problem in society that needed a solution. That day he decided to become a Doctor. This young one was on a mission again, but this mission needed a direction that was some time away. As time passed, Devi developed an interest in heart surgeries after hearing about the first heart transplant in the world. That day his aspiration of becoming a doctor got the direction it required.

How to Repeal Laws in India?

Many amongst us are almost familiar with the law-making process in India wherein a bill is passed by both the Houses of Parliament and then it is sent to the president for assent. But what about its repeal? Only a few would have the idea as to repeal or nullification of the laws in India. Around 58 Acts have been repealed by far. As we have seen that after a lot of resistance from the farmers; PM Modi on the auspicious occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti addressed the nation that the government will repeal the three new farm laws in the upcoming Winter session of Parliament despite constant efforts made by the Government to convince the farmers on the benefits of the farm laws. Now, the word “repeal” here means to withdraw, annul or revoke any Act of Parliament. But why & how? To know these, read this article.

“Paisa, paise ko kheechta hai.” Well, it doesn’t do that sitting duck in an account either. Well ok, the account thing may be incorrect but there is no significance in said growth. With the passage of time, money loses its purchasing power, i.e., its value decreases. This is where investment comes in. The point of investment, irrespective of the instrument, is to grow the initial money spent at a rate faster than the speed at which money loses its value.

A distinct memory from everyone’s school life was the various lab equipment that you used as a science student or heard your friend from that stream complain about. “Galti se beaker tut gaya” has been a uniting guilty pleasure for almost every student. Fortunately for various schools, the introduction of plastic labware was a blessing. With the reduced risk of chipping or cracking, the naggy lab assistant (and dangerous spills) were problems of the past. It’s been a long time since those school days, but labs in schools as well as others with even more serious uses still benefit from the use of plastic labware as an addition to the existing glassware.
