Life is a Struggle

“Every Struggle in your life has shaped you into a person you are today. Be thankful to hard times, they can only make you stronger” Struggle is an apt synonym for the word ‘Life’. To begin with, a child and his mother struggle for their life at the time of his birth. Gradually the child enters the different phases of life and struggles further to enter the next phase in a sound manner. Childhood Struggle- Initially it begins when a child grows and learns the basics of life of speaking, walking, eating and the list is endless, for this reason only it is always said that our mothers are our first teachers. The clay is soft and can be moulded anyways, and struggle begins when the child is left with maids or servants in a nuclear family. Then we go on blaming the society or trends, without realising that we ourselves are setting the benchmarks.

Are Personalized Services plays an important role in delivering Service Excellence?

There was a small fast food restaurant in my locality where I visited alone or with my friends.   I normally avoid going there with family due to its ambience which was not very good. Once, on my anniversary, I was very late from my office and reached home round 11 in night. So we don’t have any other option left than going to that restaurant.   My wife was not happy and I was also feeling guilty. When we entered there, the manager their treated us by our name and wish us anniversary. He offered us a special table. He knows my likes and dislikes and recommends few dishes according to my taste. The staff quickly decorates the restaurant with roses. They also arranged a small cake for us. That day, they treated us as a special guest. We were very happy with the hospitality of the restaurant .   At the time of leaving, owner said that we arranged parties in hotel or even at home for any event. He knows that my daughter birthday is coming up and suggests that they can arrange a good di

DEATH ON THE ISLAND: A WAKE-UP CALL.

With the recent death of the American missionary on the isolated Sentinel Island in the Andaman island leaves us to introspect on the various aspect of human behavior;   behavior of the reclusive islanders and the island visitors. The American missionary had intended to visit the island so that he could introduce the indigenous people to Lord Jesus as he believed that the place was fit for “Satan” as Lord Jesus could not reach there. It leaves us with two questions: The approach to the Sentinel island is fueled by the curious nature to discover and unearth the ‘other’ or is to better the ‘other’? In both the circumstances there is an inherent sense of abject superiority as a race which is quite similar to the attitudinal behaviors of the colonizers throughout history. In the quest of knowing the unknown or the ‘other’ the community is discovered, invaded, plundered and in turn exterminated. This is a gradual process and does not look oppressive in the beginning as it is often do

Climate Justice and International Solar Alliance

Climate change in the 21 st century is a matter of grave concern, not only for the developing nations but also for developed nations. The most visible signs of changing climate are the melting glaciers, higher frequency and intensity of hurricanes and cyclones as well as droughts in different parts of the world etc. Climate change doesn’t affect one nation. Rather, humanity as a whole is responsible for bringing it about as well as aggravating it with every passing moment. There is an irony to this entire situation- that is the developing countries are solely blamed for bringing about climate change. In reality, however it’s the developed countries that share a higher burden in the historical level of greenhouse gas production because of their unprecedented levels of economic activity that has made them stand at the highest pedestal of standard of living and per capital income. In the recent climate change negotiations, Common But Differentiated Responsibility (CBDR) , a princip

AI is beneficial for humanity or not?

When we are talking about Alexa or Siri, we are talking about Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence or AI is software and algorithms which work on computer machines to perform the tasks in a similar ways like humans. AI is basically learnt and solves problems with the help of machines like a human mind. The term “artificial intelligence” was coined in 1955 by John McCarthy, who became one of co-founders and leader of AI research. The basic benefit of AI is that it replicates actions and decisions of humans without any shortcomings, such as emotion, fatigue and time period. As we know that when we are taking any decision, some how we will take that decisions logically or emotionally. But the robots do not have any emotions and sentiments, so the decisions taken by them are purely logical. Second point is that the chances of error occurred by machines is very Nil related to humans. In our daily life smart phones are the best example of AI; there are so many applications
