A dictionary definition of unlearning is "to remove from one's knowledge or memory". Another way to think about unlearning is to get away from something - to let go - and not hold on to it.
In the recent budget speech, Finance minister announced tax incentive on loans taken to purchase EVs apart from reducing the GST rate for them from 12% to 5% to encourage the sales of EVs thereby speeding up the transition from IC engine-driven vehicles to electric mobility. The goal is to be completely electric by 2030 and NITI Ayog has pointed that it is imperative to fix realistic time frame by which scooters, motorcycles, three-wheel carriages and, later, all new vehicles will be battery powered if we wish to meet 2030 deadline. Well even though the recent measures announced by the government are welcome and for sure will boost the sales of EVs and encourage firms to invest in new technologies it is important to take a holistic approach and not rush through.
70% of the earth’s surface is covered in water. 97% of this water is present in oceans. Rest 3% is freshwater. Of this, 2% of the freshwater is locked up in the form of glaciers. Remaining 1% of the freshwater is mostly present in the form of groundwater and a small fraction makes up the lakes and rivers.
I have lived in Indian southern city Vellore for my graduation, where there were students of culturally and linguistically different backgrounds. I often found myself wherein I had to choose between the two languages (mother tongue- Hindi, and English) and think before using them. I am sure readers here too, had landed up before or might find themselves in a similar situation in the near future. Recently, I came across an excellent book by Tara Goldstein- The capital of “attentive silence” and its impact on English language and literacy education. The book helped me understand the language selection, and, I and other students behaviour over language preference at different situations. Below, I have reviewed the book in the shortest and effective manner possible. Your feedback will be highly appreciated.
Theresa May was once regarded as one of the greatest leaders of her time, while she will still find her place in the book of legends, but her legacy has certainly diluted. The classic tussle in the Brexit has presented a curious case for future leaders and decision-makers to ponder upon. Here are some of the top mistakes that Ms. May committed during this fiasco :
Since the tender age of 13, my path hitherto has led me on a journey of self-discovery - from a shy and introverted school student in my native village to a confident and inquisitive person in one of the top technology university (TU Delft) at the picturesque coast of Netherlands for postgraduate education. My two-year stint at studying abroad was a dream I had diligently pursued.
Recently in an interview, Pullela Gopichand, India’s most successful Badminton coach and one of the most decorated players of his time said that he never travels with his top players for their matches, cause that he could never give India another Saina or Sindhu if he does that. While many would see that this shows the lack of good coaches in our country, and I would agree with them, but it also shows some facets in the personality of Mr. Gopichand – Determination and Discipline.
