Growth Of Non Performing Assets In The Indian Banking System

Banks are the nucleus of any economy. It is a prerequisite to have a healthy banking industry to put the economy in the growth trajectory. However, with the structured loans turning bad and an exponential increase in the non-performing assets of the bank, the industry has been pushed into a state of entanglement. The public sector banks continue to suffer the repercussions of their past lending. This has caused a damage by burgeoning the stressed assets figures enormously for both the public and the private sector banks.

'The True Sign Of Intelligence Is Not Knowledge But, Imagination

'The True Sign Of Intelligence Is Not Knowledge But, Imagination

Albert Einstein – “I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong. I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

From A Cancer Survivor To A 96%iler At XLRI

“At 96 percentile! Dude I don’t want to be rude here but you don’t stand a chance at XLRI with 96%ile. You are lucky you got a call from XL”, one of my batch mates at the Coaching Centre told me. I had invested almost all my savings in coaching, college forms and traveling for interviews. The XLRI interview call was the only one I had, after I messed up CAT, SNAP, NMAT and IIFT all at the same time.

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility - A Take On Triumph Of Donald Trump

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility - A Take On Triumph Of Donald Trump

The thematic and often-quoted (including by the Supreme Court of the United States) Spider-Man phrase 'with great power comes great responsibility' is widely attributed to Uncle Ben. The origins of the phrase pre-date its use in Spider-Man. In 1906, Winston Churchill said, "Where there is great power there is great responsibility". In 1817, the member of British parliament, William Lamb, is recorded saying, "the possession of great power necessarily implies great responsibility," even indicating that it was already a cultural maxim invoked toward government at the time. The sentiment is also attributed to Jesus of Nazareth in the Gospel of Luke, "Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required."
