Managing children


It's very interesting to see the way life unfolds itself. Every day it brings new issues to be addressed and resolved. Out of these, the most important and perhaps the most difficult one is to manage children.

Of late,  it occurred to me that there is a big difference in the way we elders look at the things. We judge or imagine taking into consideration certain conditions. But, things are usually not the same with our children. And that's what makes it very difficult to deal with them especially when they are in their puberty.

Now a day, we face issues pertaining to children on a daily basis. We feel that our children do only those things we do not want them to do. When we try to explain them they simply take it as a boring lecture. We expect them to bring improvement and what happens - exactly the opposite.

My wife, Leena tried to take strict actions which turned out to be ineffective. When she tried to be their friend, they started taking advantage out of the situation making her feel that it is like allowing them to do what they want to do. In any case, the situation remains the same.

For me, the best solution to this problem lies in keeping them explaining right and wrong about the things they do without expecting much out of it. Going forward if they gradually start understanding things right then it is good, and if not, then it would at least help us avoid getting into frustration.

Let's hope everything will be fine.

Thesis on blending of Aggregates for Bituminous Mix Design without conducting individual gradation

Image
  Introduction Bituminous mixes like Bituminous Macadam (BM), Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM), and Bituminous Concrete (BC) require precise gradation of aggregates to ensure the pavement's durability, strength, and workability. This thesis explains the method used to calculate the proportions of aggregates for each mix type, incorporating theoretical and actual retained weights for 6mm and dust. Additionally, adjustments for 6mm and dust for BM, BC, and DBM are discussed to highlight their role in achieving better gradation control. Objectives To explain the methodology for calculating theoretical and actual retained weights for BM, DBM, and BC. To present the rationale for adjustments in 6mm and dust amounts for BM, BC, and DBM. To provide a clear understanding of how the final proportions of aggregates are derived. Data Layout and Structure There are two tables for BM, DBM, and BC. Left-Side Tables: These tables display theoretical retained weights calculated using the passing per...

Is MongoDB a Technological Upgrade Over SQL Server in ASP.NET MVC?

In the rapidly changing world of web development, the allure of new technologies is substantial, especially when buzzwords like "NoSQL" and "scalability" are mentioned. A common consideration for developers is replacing SQL Server with MongoDB in their ASP.NET MVC applications. But is this really an upgrade, or are we complicating our projects in the name of modernity? Let’s explore this further. The Appeal of MongoDB MongoDB, a widely used NoSQL database, is often praised for its: - Schema-less design : Offers flexibility in adapting data structures. - Document-based storage : Stores JSON-like objects that easily map to application models. - Horizontal scalability : Capable of handling large, distributed datasets effectively. - Cloud-first tools : Solutions like MongoDB Atlas simplify setup, monitoring, and scaling. MongoDB may be a good option for fast-moving startups or applications with evolving data structures, such as content management systems, event logging,...

GST vs. Income Tax: The Reform India Missed

When the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was rolled out, it was hailed as India’s most ambitious tax reform—one nation, one tax, one market. Over time, the GST Council has spent countless hours framing next-generation reforms: rate rationalisation, compliance tweaks, e-invoicing, and faceless scrutiny. Each step is aimed at plugging loopholes and widening the tax net. But amid this relentless tinkering, a larger question has gone unasked: why do we still carry the burden of dual taxation—GST and income tax—on the same economic activity? The Tax Chain in Action Take a simple supply chain. A manufacturer produces a product for ₹5 (all costs included) and sells it to a stockist for ₹7. The stockist sells it to a retailer for ₹9. The retailer sells it to the consumer for ₹11. Each makes a profit of ₹2. The combined profit in the chain is ₹6. At 30% income tax, the government would collect ₹1.80—provided every transaction is disclosed. If one player hides the deal or shifts to cash, the govern...
