Why should you dream big and be realistic at the same time.

 You will be surprised to know that we spend a third of our time daydreaming. This may sound weird but imagine a teenager planting some saplings in his backyard. He is thinking about the plant species and wondering at the discoveries of different species. He thinks that is there any other specie left to discover and whether he can discover them. From there on, he thinks of his dream of becoming a scientist and leading his team to discovering a new specie and getting a nobel Prize. But he thinks that does he have the required discipline and hardworking nature to achieve this. He decides to work hard and be more disciplined. 

But do you realise that it is just his dream. 

For a long time, it was conceived that daydreaming is a rest position for our brain and our brain doesn't require extra energy for daydreaming. But the scientific studies have shown that when we daydream, the areas of brain associated with past memory and recalling become active. It was found that the blood flow in these areas increases. 

After daydreaming, it can result into planning the rest of the day and being motivated to his daily work. Depending upon the domain of daydreaming, he may be motivated to do the things related to that field. 

Studies suggest that it can help in being creative, having new ideas and having a positive attitude. It can help envisioning the way to deal with social situations and finding one's way through difficulties. 

In teenage, the part of brain associated with logical part and imaginative part is still growing, providing new innovative ideas to the teenagers and making them capable to achieve them. Therefore, it is crucial to dream for developing their imaginative and logical thoughts properly.

Why there is Traffic jam in big cities around the world

  Imagine that you are diving on a highway smoothly. Gradually you experience that the gap between cars is decreasing and breaks lights can be seen everywhere. So what caused the smooth flowing traffic on a wide road to come on a standstill? The answer lies in the phenomenon called Phantom Traffic Jam. It occurs when cars suddenly come to a standstill without any apparent reason.  Let's understand it in details.  It happens due to several reasons. First when the number of cars are in excess. But not necessarily too many.  Second, suppose when the cars are moving at a consistent speed, and suddenly a car faces an obstacle and slows down by applying breaks. The next car behind it, will apply stronger breaks and the car behind it will apply more strong breaks making a chain of the repeated action. The impact of this will be felt by the far away cars too.  Another reason for this is the human tendancy to escape the traffic by driving faster. By doing this, a car wil...

Is Indian military stronger than British military?

 The question of whether the Indian military is stronger than the British military is a complex one that cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. Both India and Britain have strong military forces that have been developed over many years of history and have undergone numerous changes and upgrades over time. In this blog, we will examine the strengths and weaknesses of both militaries and compare them to see how they stack up against each other. To begin with, it is important to note that both India and Britain have nuclear weapons, which means that they both have the ability to cause massive destruction in case of a war. However, while Britain is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and is recognized as a nuclear power, India is not a permanent member and is not recognized as a nuclear power by some countries. In terms of manpower, the Indian military is larger than the British military. India has a standing army of over 1.4 million troops, wh...

How to be calm under pressure and fear.

 Being humans, it is natural for us to feel fear, just like hunger. Every human is bound to feel fear and it is quite normal for humans to feel this. But the ones who overcome their fear and execute their task, outshine the others.  In this blog, I am going to share some common practices, used to stay calm under pressure and fear.  Long Breathing- Whenever you are under pressure, you should take long breaths to supply sufficient oxygen to your brain and try to normalise your heartbeat. Even though the adrenaline secretion, that triggers our heart beat, is not in our control but long breathing can help to a great extent.  Empty your mind- Generally,  before an interview, candidate's minds are filled with a lot of questions and apprehensions, causing unwanted pressure and fear among them. An effective way to counter this is to think about something else than the interview. Generally, thinking about family, friends and good memories helps diverting our mind and rem...
