Books Society

Books are a delightful society. If you go into a room filled with books even without taking them down from the shelves, they seem to speak to you, seem to welcome you, seem to tell that they have something inside their covers that will be good for you and that they are willing to impart it to you. 

Value them and endeavor to turn them to good account. As to the books which you should read there is hardly anything definite that can be said. 

Any good book, that is wiser than yourself, will reach you something—a great may things directly or indirectly. If your mind be open to learn, the very wish and curiosity you have to read it indicate that you are a person who likes to get good out of it.

Progress vs. Stability

There is perhaps a certain conflict always between the idea of progress and that of security and stability. The two do not fit in; the former wants change, the latter a safe unchanging haven and continuation of things as they are.  The idea of progress is modern and relatively new even in the west; the ancient and medieval civilization thought far more in terms of a golden past and of subsequent decay. In India also the past has always been glorified.

The social structure based on the caste system and joint families, served this purpose and was successful in providing social security for the group and a kind of insurance for the individual who by reason of age, infirmity,  or any other incapacity, was unable to provide for himself. Such an arrangement, while favouring the weak, hinders, to some ex...

                                  Advertisements play a very important role in the promotion of one’s business. But a business advertisement should be drafted, designed and laid out in an artistic manner that will tempt the reader to go through it even if he has no desire to buy the advertised product. In fact, it is not possible to think of the modern world without advertisement. When we speak of advertisements we generally refer to business and commerce. They have become the kingpin of the world of trade In the past, there was not much need to advertise goods. Makers were limited. The traders or manufactures had only local customers. At best they took the services of town-criers or they use handbills or posters. But, now advertising itself has become a specialized form of business. Many advertising agencies have come up. There agencies help businessmen to promote their sales.Small t...

Some Problems of Present-Day Youth

The present-day youth is facing a large number of problems-economic, social, moral as well as political. But the root cause of all these problems is the lack of purpose in his life. The modern youth is like a rudderless boat. He keeps drifting here and there with no knowledge of his destination. All his problems grow form his purposelessness.                  Our universities are producing millions of graduates and post-graduates every year. These young men and women look for jobs after completing their studies. But when they are unable to find any good job, they become restless. They feel that all their time and money spent on education has gone waste. They lose all hope of having a good life and grow desperate. Such a state leads them astray. It is nothing strange that these young men and women take to destructive activities. They fall into the hands of anti-social elements who use them as tools to achieve their own selfish ends. ...
