Vote for Bharat !!!

The 2024 Lok Sabha election will be a crucial turning point for the progress of our nation. All eyes are on our country as a superpower. 

We need to vote for those candidates and parties with positive vision, mission, and intention for the progress of our country.

India is crucial in international affairs due to its strong leadership. We currently stand 5th in GDP. It is the time now to be in the top 3.

Though India got freedom on 15th August 1947 and its constitution in 1950. But, if we compare our progress with our other countries, it will be an eye-opener for Indians. Most of the countries that got freedom after India are relatively much more developed than our country.

Reasons for India lagging- 

  • First, we should talk about India, which has an area of 3,387,590 km² with land boundaries of 13,888km and coastlines of 7,000 km. The population density of India in 2022 was 431.11 people per square kilometer. Population is also hampering our progress. It is putting a lot of pressure on our resources. In 2024, vote for those candidates or parties who will work on population control by bringing reforms.
  • Per Capita Income is a metric used to determine the money earned per individual in a nation or geographical area. Regarding GDP, India is 5th largest economy in the world, but in terms of GDP per capita, we are 129th. The only reason is population. Many candidates or parties don’t address this issue. In 2024, vote for those candidates or parties who will address this issue and make reforms to control the population.
  • India has a booming VVIP number of 579092, compared to China (435) and the USA (252). We have to spend more than developed countries. The number of VIPs increasing also results in mounting bills on security Flight Bills, Foreign Travel & Vacation, Conveyance, Free Electricity, Free Water, Subsidized High-Quality food in Canteens & other perks. The cost for this comes from taxpayer money. VVIP culture flourishes under a political party run by a family. It is a time to ‘Say No’ to those parties run by a family. 
  • Corruption has hampered our progress a lot. Many scams looted our money from our independence in 1947. It is our money. We suffer a lot because of corruption. While voting in 2024, ‘Say No’ to those parties and candidates with corruption charges.
  • Our India is 129th in happiness and 103rd in prosperity. It is because of some people who spread hatred about our nation. It is time to ‘Say No’ to such candidates and parties in 2024. So, we need a government that will bring uniformity throughout the country. The uniform civil code will help our nation in improving per capita income. An Indian will always vote for UCC. 
  • Terrorism is one of the most threatening issues in the world. India was the victim of it, but not now. The world is following India’s pattern of tackling terrorism. We need a strong government that will end terrorism in India. Vote for those candidates and parties who strongly oppose terrorism.
  • India was a prosperous nation. Then, many invaders used the policy of ‘Divide and Rule.’ They divided us into religion, caste, creed, culture, and language. Some candidates and parties still use this policy to rule us. ‘Say No’ to such candidates and parties.

Vote for our country Vote for the betterment of our country Vote for the progress of our country.

While voting in 2024, only think of ‘Nation First’

To date, I have trained almost 9,000 participants. My experience at different levels in various fields helped me to understand my participants, thus fostering a positive environment for my participants. It developed a learning environment for my participants to express themselves positively and effectively. Interactive sessions helped my participants to connect with themselves and others. My training sessions have helped participants develop personally and professionally. The positive results of training and placement have benefitted many institutes in getting accreditations.

I am proud to announce that most of my participants have achieved their career and life goals.

I wish a happy and prosperous life for all my participants.

All the best !!!

New Year Resolutions – 2024

Hi Friends, I am taking an opportunity to discuss resolutions for 2024 in this blog. It will help you understand them, their categories, and the steps to accomplish them.

Resolutions are firm decisions to do or not to do something / the quality of being determined or resolute.

They can be anything –

  • You need;
  •  You want;
  •  You desire to achieve or quit for the betterment of your life;
  •  You strive for;

We make so many resolutions each year, such as: 

  • I will be fit from fat this year; 
  •  I will go to school/college/or office on time; 
  •  I will be in a healthy relationship this year; 
  •  I will do further studies; 
  •  I will achieve success in a job or business; 
  •  I will quit smoking/drinking this year and many more…

However, as we all know, most people fail to accomplish their tasks and leave their resolutions either before starting them or halfway. We hear or read many jokes or comments on it. It is always a trolling topic in the first month of every year, and history repeats.

  • Let us take resolutions positively this time and assume that we will complete our resolution list in the new year – 2024;
  •  Let us take a guard against all the distractions and excuses in the new year;
  •  Let us fight against all the odds which defeated us for many years;
  •  Let us keep ourselves accountable for our resolutions; 
  •  Let us take all the responsibilities to achieve them;
  •  Let us achieve whatever we desire in the new year to be an inspiration for those who care for us, love us, look upon us as their idols;
  •  Let us be that one person to announce that we achieved our resolutions and receive appreciation from our family and friends. It will be a motivating factor for us each year.

The few things that one needs to understand while making a resolution list are:

  • Make your resolutions in your own words;
  • Make your list depending on situations, requirements, needs, or passion;
  • Do not copy while making a resolution list. Instead, make resolutions in a language that you understand and explain it.

Here are a few steps one can follow while making a resolution list and achieving it:

Step 1 – First, make an overall list of your resolutions for the new year;

Step 2 – Now categorize them into various categories;

Category 1 · Depending on the importance;

Category 2 · Depending on the urgency;

Category 3 · Depending on its type;

Category 4 · Depending on its duration;

Category 5 · Depending on the relevance.

Step 3 – Find out all the opportunities you have;

Step 4 – Find out all the threats you may face so that you will be more prepared;

Step 5 -Take help from your friends, relatives, family, or close ones in achieving goals. If possible, find a mentor or coach to achieve your goals related to your life, wellness, health, relationships, education, career, or business. 

Step 6 – Work on easy and urgent goals first. It will help you to gain confidence.

Step 7 – Achieve your resolutions and celebrate your achievements to boost your confidence to achieve more.

All the best for your resolutions.

Wishing you all in advance a very Happy and Prosperous New Year – 2024

Resume Building

A resume is a formal document of a job applicant, a summary of personal and professional experiences, skills, and educational history. A cover letter accompanies it, in which the applicant expresses an interest in a specific job or company and draws attention to the most relevant specifics on the resume.

Steps of resume writing

  • Choose the resume format & layout;
  •  Mention your details & contact information;
  •  Use a resume summary;
  •  List your work experience & achievements;
  •  Mention your soft & hard skills;
  •  Include languages and hobbies;
  •  Update relevant information;
  •  Draft a cover letter;
  •  Proofread Your Resume and Cover Letter.

Tips for composing your resume

  • Keep it concise;
  •  Give detail whenever possible;
  •  Highlight things you are good with;
  •  Format it;
  •  Be honest and accurate.

Your resume communicates qualifications and eligibility—who you are and what makes you different—to employers and recruiters.

Ideally, the resume has to be one page, but a two-page one works well for many job candidates. The extra page can be necessary to communicate all of the skills and experience the employer needs to see.

Hard Skills for a Resume:

  • Technical skills include specialized knowledge and expertise in fields such as IT, engineering, or science;
  •  Computer Skills;
  •  Analytical Skills;
  •  Marketing Skills;
  •  Presentation Skills;
  •  Management Skills;
  •  Project Management Skills;
  •  Writing Skills.

Typically, a resume will include the following parts:

  • The header: your name, address, phone number, and email;
  •  A professional Objective is a phrase or sentence that highlights your intentions and accomplishments;
  •  Qualifications Summary;
  •  Education;
  •  Experience.

The most commonly used resume types are chronological, combination, and functional. For most people, the reverse-chronological resume format is the best option. It means listing your work experience and education in reverse chronological order, starting with the most recent position and working backward through previous jobs or degrees.

The best resume font sizes are 11-12pt for text and 14-16pt for section titles and headers. The most-used resume formatting order is Contact information, work experience, skills, and education.

To crack a business deal, one must have a professional visiting card. If the interview is a business meeting, your Resume/CV is your visiting card. It helps you to –

  • Stand out among all applicants;
  •  Grabs the attention of employers and recruiters;
  •  Sells your skills and accomplishments;
  •  Shows how you’re a match for a position or project;
  •  And most importantly, you get a job interview!

मी पाहिलेल्या मुलाखती…

मला काही interviews attend करण्याची संधी मिळाली. Interviews मध्ये काही Graduates, Post graduates, Engineering, MCA आणि MBA candidates होते.

Interview मध्ये मला काही गोष्टी प्रकर्षाने जाणवल्या :

१. अर्ध्याहून अधिक candidates sandals, slippers घालून आले होते;
२. काही candidates jeans घालून आले होते;
३. काही candidates t-shirts मध्ये होते;
४. काहीजण formals मध्ये होते पण कपड्यांचे रंग खूपच भडक होते;
५. मुलांपैकी बहुतांश clean shave look मध्ये नव्हते;
६. काहीजण सतत mobile phone चा वापर करत होते;
७. काहीजण मित्रांशी किंवा फोनवर मोठ्याने बोलत होते;
८. बहुतांश candidates ची body language professional नव्हती.
९. काहीजणांचा attitude professional नव्हता.

जेव्हा interview चा निकाल लागला तेव्हा वरच्यांपैकी कोणाचेही selection झाले नाही. सर्व candidates ला जवळपास सारखेच टक्के होते. पण वरील नमूद केल्याला गोष्टींमुळे बहुतांश candidates interview देण्याआधीच interview मधून जवळजवळ बाहेर पडले होते. जे select झाले त्यांना चांगले package मिळाले.

Interviewers कधी selection न होण्याचे कारण सांगत नाहीत.

Training घेताना माझा नेहमी हा प्रयत्न असतो की प्रत्येक participants ला ह्या गोष्टी समजून सांगाव्यात व mock interview session मध्ये selection होण्यासाठी लागणाऱ्या गोष्टी करून घ्याव्यात. त्याचा चांगला  परिणाम मला placement मध्ये दिसतो. माझ्याकडे trained झालेले बहुतांश participants चांगल्या companies/organizations मध्ये job ला लागले आहेत. ही माझ्यासाठी आनंदाची गोष्ट आहे की कोणाच्यातरी यशामध्ये माझा खारीचा वाटा आहे.

Interviews फक्त ५-१० मिनिटांची असते. कधीकधी वेळ जास्त होऊ शकतो. पण त्या वेळेत आपण कसे आपल्या व्यक्तिमत्वाचे, आपण मिळवलेल्या ज्ञानाचे आणि आपल्या योग्यतेचे सादरीकरण करतोय, ह्यावर आपले selection अवलंबून असते.

आशा आहे हा लेख interview ची तयारी करणाऱ्या candidates ला उपयोगी ठरेल…✍️

स्टॉक मार्केट

स्टॉक ही तुम्ही गुंतवणूक केलेली मालमत्ता असते, तर शेअर ही त्या मालमत्तेच्या मोजमापाचे एकक असते. याला इक्विटी असेही म्हणतात. हे जारी करणार्‍या कॉर्पोरेशनच्या एका अंशाच्या मालकीचे प्रतिनिधित्व करते.

शेअर्सच्या युनिट्सना शेअर्स म्हणतात, जे मालकाला त्यांच्या मालकीच्या किती स्टॉकच्या समान मालमत्तेचे आणि नफ्याच्या प्रमाणात पात्र बनवतात.

स्टॉक हे सार्वजनिकरित्या व्यापार केलेल्या कंपन्यांमधील मालकीचे शेअर्स असतात. पैसे उभारण्यासाठी कंपन्या त्यांना स्टॉक एक्स्चेंजवर जारी करतात, ज्या वेळी गुंतवणूकदार त्यांच्या क्षमतेनुसार त्यांची खरेदी आणि विक्री करतात. स्टॉक्स खरेदी करणे आणि धारण करणे तुम्हाला संपत्ती वाढविण्यात आणि दीर्घकालीन आर्थिक उद्दिष्टे गाठण्यात मदत करू शकते.

शेअर हा कंपनीमधील इक्विटी मालकीच्या युनिटचे प्रतिनिधित्व करतो. समभाग भागधारकांना कंपनीच्या नफा आणि तोट्यावर समान हक्क मिळवून देतो.

शेअर्सचे दोन प्रकार आहेत – इक्विटी शेअर्स आणि प्रेफरन्स शेअर्स.

भागधारकांना कंपनीला सामोरे जावे लागलेल्या कोणत्याही नफा आणि तोट्याचा हक्क आहे.

स्टॉक मार्केट इंडेक्स समान प्रकारच्या स्टॉकचे गट करून तयार केला जातो.

NIFTY हा राष्ट्रीय शेअर बाजाराचा FIFTY आहे. यात 23 आर्थिक क्षेत्रांचा समावेश असलेल्या पन्नास स्टॉक एक्स्चेंजचा समावेश आहे.

सेन्सेक्स हा शेअर बाजाराचा संवेदनशील निर्देशांक आहे. बीएसई (बॉम्बे स्टॉक एक्सचेंज) हे भारतातील सर्वात जुने स्टॉक एक्सचेंज आहे. हा बीएसईवर सूचीबद्ध ३० आर्थिकदृष्ट्या सक्षम आणि सुस्थापित संस्थांचा निर्देशांक आहे.

शेअर्सची किंमत बाजारातील मागणी आणि पुरवठा यावर अवलंबून असते.

Bull market तेजी असते, तर Bear market मंदी असते. Bull market अनेकदा आर्थिक आणि नोकरीच्या वाढीच्या कालावधीशी संबंधित असतात; Bear market आर्थिक घसरणीमुळे आणि कमी होत चाललेल्या अर्थव्यवस्थेमुळे आहेत.

गुंतवणूक सुरू करण्यासाठी, तुम्हाला ब्रोकर किंवा स्टॉक ब्रोकरेज प्लॅटफॉर्मसह ट्रेडिंग खाते आवश्यक आहे. ब्रोकर किंवा स्टॉक ब्रोकरेज प्लॅटफॉर्म तुमच्यासाठी डिमॅट खाते उघडतो.

इक्विटीज हा सामान्यतः सर्वात धोकादायक मालमत्तेचा वर्ग मानला जातो. लाभांश बाजूला ठेवून, ते कोणतीही हमी देत नाहीत. जोखीम अस्थिरतेमुळे आहे. एक अत्यंत अस्थिर स्टॉक त्याच्या किंमतीत दररोज चढ-उताराचा अनुभव घेतो.

शेअर बाजार इलेक्ट्रॉनिक झाला आहे. व्यापाऱ्यांना नोंदणीकृत ब्रोकरकडे ऑनलाइन ट्रेडिंग खाते आवश्यक आहे. शेअर्सची खरेदी किंवा विक्री करण्याच्या सर्व ऑर्डर या ट्रेडिंग खात्याद्वारे होतात.

स्टॉकचे मूल्य ठरवण्याचा सर्वात सामान्य मार्ग म्हणजे कंपनीच्या किंमत-ते-कमाई (P/E) गुणोत्तराची गणना करणे. P/E गुणोत्तर हे कंपनीच्या शेअरच्या किमतीला भागिले त्याच्या सर्वात अलीकडील नोंदवलेले प्रति शेअर कमाई (EPS) बरोबर असते.साधारणपणे, कमी मूल्य असलेले शेअर्स जास्त मूल्यवान शेअर्सपेक्षा जास्त पसंत करतात. जर कंपनी चांगली कामगिरी करत असेल तर ती आशादायक परतावा देऊ शकते.

बाजार भांडवल महत्त्वपूर्ण आहे कारण ते सार्वजनिकरित्या व्यापार केलेल्या कंपनीचे आकार आणि मूल्य निर्धारित करते. हे गुंतवणूकदारांना जोखमीचे मूल्यांकन, कंपन्यांची तुलना आणि बाजारातील ट्रेंड ओळखण्यात मदत करते. रु. 10,000 कोटी किंवा त्याहून अधिक मार्केट कॅप असलेले शेअर्स लार्ज-कॅप स्टॉक्स आहेत. 2 कोटी ते 10 कोटी रुपयांचे मार्केट कॅप असलेले कंपनीचे स्टॉक हे मिड-कॅप स्टॉक्स आहेत आणि 2 कोटी रुपयांपेक्षा कमी असलेले स्मॉल-कॅप स्टॉक आहेत.

गुंतवणुकीपूर्वी, कृपया लक्षात ठेवा की हा तुमचा मेहनतीने कमावलेला पैसा आहे, त्यामुळे तुमच्या संशोधनासोबत हुशारीने गुंतवणूक करा. अनेक tips असू शकतात परंतु आपल्या संशोधनावर अवलंबून रहा.

मराठीत एक चांगली म्हण आहे,

“ऐकावे जनाचे करावे मनाचे.”

शिकत रहा, गुंतवणूक करत रहा!!!

Stock Market

A stock is the asset you invest in, while a share is the unit of measurement for that asset. It is also known as equity. It represents the ownership of a fraction of the issuing corporation.

Units of stocks are called shares, which entitles the owner to a proportion of the assets and profits equal to how much stock they own.

Stocks are shares of ownership in publicly traded companies. Companies issue them on stock exchanges to raise money, at which point investors buy and sell them based on their potential. Buying and holding stocks can help you grow wealth and reach your long-term financial goals.

A share represents a unit of equity ownership in a company. A share entitles the shareholders to an equal claim on the profit and losses of the company.

There are two kinds of shares – equity shares and preference shares.

Shareholders are entitled to any profits and losses that the company may face.

A stock market index is created by grouping similar kinds of stock.

The NIFTY is the National Stock Exchange FIFTY. It includes fifty stock exchanges that cover 23 economic sectors.

The SENSEX is the Stock Exchange Sensitive Index. BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) is the oldest stock exchange in India. It is a free float, economy-weighted index of 30 financially sound and well-established organizations listed on BSE.

Share price depends on supply and demand in the marketplace.

A bull market is an upswing, while a bear market is a downturn. Bull markets often correspond to periods of economic and job growth; bear markets are because of economic decline and a shrinking economy.

To begin investing, you need a trading account with a broker or a stock brokerage platform. The broker or the stock brokerage platform opens a demat account for you. A Demat account holds the financial securities in your name.

Equities are generally considered the riskiest class of assets. Dividends aside, they offer no guarantees. The risk is due to the volatility. It refers to the rate of price fluctuations of a share. A highly volatile stock experiences daily up and down movements in its price.

The stock market has become electronic. Traders need an online trading account with a registered broker. All orders to buy or sell shares take place through this trading account.

The most common way to value a stock is to compute the company’s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. The P/E ratio equals the company’s stock price divided by its most recently reported earnings per share (EPS).

With its considerable potential, the stock market needs research, preparation, and opening a Demat account and trading account with a reliable brokerage firm.

Generally, undervalued shares are favored over overvalued ones, as the investors buy low and sell high. If the company is performing well, it can give promising returns. The process of investing in undervalued stocks is known as value investing.

Market capital is crucial as it determines the size and value of a publicly traded company. It aids investors in assessing risk, comparing companies, and identifying market trends. The stocks with a market cap of Rs.10,000 crore or more are large-cap stocks. Company stocks with a market cap between Rs.2 crore and ten crores are mid-cap stocks, and those with less than Rs.2 crore are small-cap stocks.

Before investing, please remember that it is your hard-earned money, so invest it wisely with your research. There may be many tips but rely on your research.

There is a good saying in Marathi,

“ऐकावे जनाचे करावे मनाचे.”

Keep Learning, Keep Investing !!!

India – An emerging sporting giant in multi-sport events.

India has won 779 medals at the Asian Games since the inaugural edition in 1951. India finished with a record haul of 107, including 28 gold, at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou.

India finished its Asian Games campaign with a record haul of 107 medals (28 gold, 38 silver, 41 bronze) to finish fourth (on gold-medal count), improving on its 2018 tally of 70 medals, which included 16 gold.

India had its best-ever medal haul, beating the previous best medal tally of 70 medals, achieved at the 2018 Asian Games. It became the fourth nation to do so after China, Japan, and South Korea.

India was the best-performing nation in Archery, Kabaddi, Cricket, and Field Hockey. India won its first-ever gold in badminton. The gold-winning men’s hockey team automatically qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics.

The Khelo India Scheme has done wonders in creating a powerful bench strength for India; 124 athletes trained under the Khelo India Scheme were part of the Indian contingent in the Asian Games this year.

The Khelo India Scheme, introduced in 2017, stands paramount in spotting and nurturing talent from the grassroots. The Khelo India scheme has impacted the complete sports environment, including facilities, coaching, recognition programs, effective functioning, sports economics, and competitive structure. The current sports policy approach empowers young individuals to engage in sports. Further, there are efforts to instill a culture of sports and fitness from an early age, exemplified by efforts like the FIT India Movement. A Pan-Indian Sporting culture is developed by identifying, developing, and encouraging talent in sports discipline.

However, while we celebrate this success, it is essential to remember that there is still much more to achieve. But looking at recent performance in multi-sport events, India will surely emerge as a sporting giant in upcoming events.

Sages and Science

ISRO has successfully launched Aditya L1. On 23rd August 2023, our Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the south pole of the Moon. Indian culture is a good combination of religion and science; the ancient sages made many discoveries that are still relevant in the modern world. 

In this blog, we will look at such inventions and works of sages which contributed to modern society.
