The Road to True Progress: Reframing the Narrative of India's Transformation

 In the midst of the incessant reverberations of religious, ideological, and political affiliations, the true essence of nation-building often becomes distorted. For India, a country rich in diversity and potential, this cacophony can result in the misalignment of citizens' understanding of progress. A considerable fraction of society finds itself engulfed in a labyrinth of misleading dialogues: The relentless debates over the supremacy of one political faction over another often consume valuable intellectual bandwidth. Instead of thoughtful discourse on policies and their impacts, discussions are often reduced to partisan squabbles, much like a never-ending game of chess with no definitive victory. A blind endorsement of extreme capitalism, often masked as nationalism, also blurs the boundaries of socioeconomic development.  Large corporations, although significant contributors to the economy, can inadvertently create monopolistic markets if unchecked. It's akin to appreciati...

Navigating the Material Challenges of Cow Dung Brick Making

Material Challenges of Cow Dung Brick Making “From finding suitable binders to selecting the right stabilisers, making high-quality cow dung bricks requires overcoming a host of material challenges” Making cow dung bricks 🐄🧱 can be a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional building materials. However, there are several 🤔 challenges associated with the production of these bricks that need to be addressed for them to be used in construction.                                                                                                                     In this article, we will discuss the challenges related to binder, micro...

Watered fermented fenugreek: How it impacts cow dung bricks

🤔 Yes, it's possible that fermented fenugreek mixed with water could increase the rate of the chemical reaction between lime and cow dung material. When fenugreek is fermented, it produces organic acids such as acetic acid and lactic acid, which can act as catalysts and lower the activation energy required for the reaction. Additionally, the fermentation process can produce carbon dioxide gas (CO2), which can react with lime to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3), strengthening the final material. However, it's important to note that the exact effect of fermented fenugreek on the properties of cow dung brick would depend on the specific conditions and concentrations used. Further research and testing would be needed to fully understand its effects. 💡                                                             ...

The Power of Reflecting back: How it can Improve Your Thought Process

Yes , my reflections on my own life ...  The adage "age is just a number" is frequently used to characterise people who have achieved much in life despite their elderly years. 🎉 I take comfort in this proverb as I approach my midlife crisis; it serves as a constant reminder that I am not limited by my chronological age. ⏳ I've spent a lot of time thinking and reflecting on how to improve my actions and routines over the course of my life. 💭 While I have had some success in this area, I estimate that 80-90% of my deliberate endeavours have failed. 😔 I've been unable to find happiness in life due to several undesirable behaviours and characteristics of my own. After giving it some thought, I've come up with a few causes for my difficulties. My inability to get things done quickly, for example, is due in large part to my lack of self-discipline and procrastination. 🤦‍♀️ The fact that I'm too chicken to explore traditional things has also stunted my developmen...
