As we approach the midpoint of 2021, financial markets, for the most part, have had a good year so far. Looking at US equities, the S&P 500 is up about 11% and the NASDAQ about 5%, from start of the year levels, and the under-performance of the latter has led to a wave of stories about whether this is the start of the long-awaited comeback of value stocks, after a decade of lagging growth stocks. Along the way, it has been a bumpy ride, as the market wrestles with two competing forces, with an economy growing faster than expected…
A ‘double mutant’ strain, lack of medical supplies, and therefore the relaxation of lockdowns have combined to foment disaster. India has seen a terrifying increase in coronavirus cases within the past few weeks. Tuesday saw another new record when the country racked up 295,041 new cases, up from around 273,000 from the previous day, with no sign that the surge is abating. The capital Delhi was placed in lockdown for every week from Monday, and Maharashtra state, the middle of the surge and residential to the financial capital, Mumbai, further tightened restrictions on shops and residential deliveries from Tuesday.
Have you ever wondered how do people get ahead? How does someone like Elon Musk succeed where others have failed? We’re often told that success is directly correlated with hard work. That we won’t get anywhere without putting in 10,000 hours or by working 100-hour weeks. But what if that wasn’t the case? What if those who’d succeeded simply had an unfair advantage over their competitors? And what if we find out that we’ve all got our own set of unfair advantages that we can use to succeed in our lives as well?
Today we’re talking about “The Unfair Advantage…

This is the Forth portion of my new arrangement, ‘CURIOSITY WITH TK’, where I, Tushar, will talk about probably the most arbitrary inquiries over the web. It could be identified with science, tech, space, even sports. I trust you all will appreciate it. So we should proceed with this inquiry, “How powerful is the Sun?”

The financial movement of the entire world has plunged in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and joblessness has taken off, mostly because of social distancing, which was intended to slow the spread of the infection.

There is more to democracy than simply using your vote once in a while. Democracy may be a way of life that prompts people to be more tolerant of plurality and to interact in moral debate with people from different backgrounds, only people aren't too afraid to mention that they think differently will democracy cause an end which we would like to ascertain — self-transformation. In other words, what makes the democratic way of life so powerful and dynamic, is that it generates its own values.
Of course, there are some prerequisites for that self-transformation. In short, not only do people need liberties like those of speech and vote, but they also need a realm during which they'll use those liberties effectively, and that we have come to call that realm the general public sphere.
