Indian Economy

                                     It appears that the Indian economy is more developing in the world in the shadow of recession. Besides that, it has become one of the fastest-developing economies in the world.

                                     America has been under the shadow of a recession and big American companies have already taken drastic steps to reduce their staff strength by lakhs. China's economy is down due to the effects of the coronavirus, and trade war with America. japan is suffering from stagnation and a more old population.  It has created a shortage of working force. While German economy is under stress and the shortage of gas/ petrol due to the war between Russia and Ukraine. This is the position of all economies that are bigger than India at present. 

                                      India has a strategic advantage in the world due to its major young, educated, and cheap labor force. Besides that India has an intellectual high-tech working force in software. The Trade war between America and China has given an additional advantage to India regarding the transfer of manufacturing activities of America from China to India.  India is also one of the biggest consumer markets in the world. Therefore Indian economy is bubbling with faster development.

                                      Indian economy Ranks five at present among the biggest economies of the world and trying to reach the Third Rank in the next five years.  It is a realistic expectation in the context of Japanese and German Economies GDP rates  are at present 4410 and 4304 Billion Dollars respectively against the Indian GDP rate of 3750 Billion Dollars.  

              It can be seen from above that India has a capacity to become a superpower in few decades.

Namaskar- Indian Culture

                                                               In Indian culture humble attitude is given more importance and it reflects in the various types of gestures. People who talk in a soft manner are always appreciated. Besides that greeting people with two folded hands called 'Namaskar' is more observed in Indian culture. 

                                                          Namaskar is a very graceful gesture to greet people in private and in public. It is a sign of humbleness.  It means in other words " Be Happy and " Always Remain Happy".

                                                            Besides that 'Namaskar' can give always security in the form of Blessings from all and including elders.  Once Bhismapitah decided to kill Pandavas in the war of Mahabharat. Draupadi when came to know about it went to Bhismapitah and offered Namaskar in return he gave a blessing  'Akhand Shobhagyavati  Bhav' ( i.e.I Bless that your husband will be protected). Thereafter Bhismapitamah realizes that he can't kill the Pandavas as he gave the blessing to their wife. This shows that humbleness always pays. It also teaches us that always respect our elders.

                                                         Namaskaar is a sign of good behavior. It is one of the best Thoughts, Signs of Humbleness including giving up Ego. It also reflects the high culture of a person. In short, it is a culture of India.

Generation to Generation

                                                     There is a vast difference between the past and present which has led to a generation gap. The past which was somewhat slow with life and the present has made life very fast and competitive. The past was mainly based on manual work while the present is more or less mechanized. Hence there is a different picture today than past. This is called the generation gap.

                                   There was no  Cell Phone,  Internet, Computer,  Air conditioning, Radio, or TV. DVD, No Bike or Helmet, etc in the past. Schoolchildren use to play in meadows after school. Sometimes they use to draw water from the waterfall, People use to walk barefoot without shoes or chappals. Besides that no food supplementary was available. The black and white photos were there with colorful memories.

                                    We have today Mineral water, Bread, Pasta, and Fast food along with several friends i.e. School friends, College friends, professional friends, Social friends, and acquittances to enjoy thereon. But very few true friends can stand by in time of need. old time children use to make their own toys while now there are ready-made toys available in the market as per one test.

                                    One wonders why people are not happy with all luxuries in life. In the past people had fewer requirements, and life was hard. There were more values in life. The people were more passionate and honest and ever ready to help each other in case of need. That made them more satisfied and happy among them.

                                         Therefore the truth of life is money and luxury can not give all happiness but it gives only comforts. However, few requirements, values, and humanity only give inner happiness in life.

Loneliness And Mental Problems.

                                                     America is a superpower with prosperity and glamour. However, some people are suffering from mental diseases. Mental diseases are increasing the reckless shooting and crime thereon. It has come out in the survey certain facts which are moving on the Internet. We do not know to what extent such a survey has validity but at least it gives a fair idea about American lives. The survey gives the average time Americans spent on various activities. 

                                                  We start from the age of 15 wherein Americans spent an average of 262 minutes with family while 193 minutes alone which makes them lonely. As the age increase i.e.  at 25  they pass their average time of 121  minutes with their wives.  However, they spend average of 275 minutes alone.

                                                 American spend an average of 199 minutes with their children and an average of 184 minutes with their wives at the age of 45. but their lonely average time goes on increasing up to 309 minutes.

                                                However, at the retirement time of  65, they give an Average time of 243 minutes to their family and wives. while they spend average of 444 minutes alone.

                                                This shows that with advanced age their average time of loneliness goes on increasing. It is said that loneliness creates health problems at any age in spite of prosperity and rich lives. Hence several Americans are suffering from mental problems which lead to shootings and crime.

Seniors

                                                            Sixty years and above age is considered a Senior Age but upcoming changes in the world have compelled many countries in the world to extend the seniority age above Sixty years of Age. An industrially advanced country like Japan is facing an Economic crisis because the population of seniors is increasing which is adversely affecting the economy of the country. Many counties in the world have similar problems. i.e. How to increase the population of young people who can be more useful and energetic. 

                                    The improved healthcare system has increased the average life of citizens above 65 to 70 years of age.  In France, people were on the road to protest against increasing the retirement age. The pension payment burden to seniors is also increasing the financial burden of the state as longevity also increases. Therefore many countries are trying to increase the retirement age.

                                   These are all financial aspects of the economy regarding Seniors. However, Seniors are also facing Financial, Social, and Mental issues. Once one retires loose identity, Official Status, and even holds over family.

                                    Therefore Seniors have to be more practical and adjustable to the circumstances and situations. Besides that age is only in number but spirit has to be maintained of younger people. Seniors should dress up to date and colorful which can reflect their young spirit. Besides that, they should use their experience in a humble way with self-control in order to adjust to the upcoming generation. It is very much necessary for them to understand the next generation in order to adjust to them and to make themselves comfortable. Seniors should become a supporter of the next generation instead of asking for support from them. That is how they can become the inspiration for them.  

                                  In the process senior may not go on talking about their time and has to give up their ego too to suit the situation and circumstances. In short instead of pressing on your opinion try to adjust your opinion with time.

                  All these show that surviving in senior life is more difficult than regular life.

Pranayama

                                                                  Pranayama helps to increase Mental energy.  It cleans the blood and increases the circulation of blood thereon.  Deep breathing also improves the functioning of the Lungs.  Besides that, it also improves one foresight and intellect.

                                          There are three processes in Pranayama i.e. Deep Breathing, Controlling Breathing, and Taking Out of Air. All these activities are known as Purak, Kumbhak, and Rechak respectively in Sanskrit. 

                                          The sustaining of deep breathing is very important in Prayanama. It can be counted in seconds to minutes. But counting should not disturb your sustaining of deep breathing. Therefore it is better to count in numbers that are easy i.e. 123456. etc. It will also least disturb one mind which is very fluctuating while doing the Pranayama.

                                         Besides that Pranayam can cure some of the body's problems but that does not permit one to give up medication thereof.  Relative medication has to continue until the problems are solved by the process of  Pranayama.

                                             It is also observed that Counting time for controlling one Breathing is Automatically developed gradually by one. It can even replace counting by numbers at a later stage. 

                       This proves that Pranayama is very scientific and useful for the health of people.
