Ji haan – topic hai: Self-Management! Aur haan... yeh lecture boring nahi hoga, kyunki thoda mazaak bhi milega beech-beech mein – after all, padhai bhi thoda filmy ho sakta hai na?” PART 1: Personal Life Mein Self-Management Ka Magic “Sabse pehle baat karte hain personal life ki… jahan mummy-papa ke taane, chhoti behen ke tantrums aur Netflix ki calling hoti hai! Time Management Socho... aap padhai karne baithe ho, par mobile kehta hai: ‘Reels dekh le yaar!’ Self-management yeh kehta hai: ‘Pehle padho, fir scroll karo!’ Time ko handle karna matlab... hero banna apni life ka. Emotional Control Jab chhota bhai TV ka remote le le bina pooche... toh kya karoge? Hulk ban jaoge? Nahi yaar!

Indian Education System: A Short Critique – Zaheer Alam Ansari  Hum angrezon se to 1947 mein azad ho gaye, lekin mentally aaj bhi unhi ke banaye system mein phase hue hain. Hamari education sirf marks aur job ke liye banayi gayi hai—na leadership sikhaati hai, na innovation, na humanity. IAS officer kitna bhi padha likha ho, kaam to usse ek minister ke under hi karna padta hai—aur zaroori nahi ki minister usse zyada educated ho. British system ne hume sirf clerks banaya, sochne wale leaders nahi. Aaj bhi wahi race hai—sarkari ya private job mil jaye bas. Lekin time aa gaya hai system ko badalne ka—jahaan hum sirf job seekers nahi, balki job creators ban sakein. Aur haan, jo soch wo chhod kar gaye the—Hindu-Muslim division, nafrat, wo bhi hum aaj tak dhoke se le kar chal rahe hain. Body free ho gayi hai, par mind aaj bhi gulam hai. Waqt hai system ko todhne ka, aur ek nayi soch se desh ko aage le jaane ka.

 Artificial Intelligence – Threat or Opportunity? (आर्टिफिशियल इंटेलिजेंस – एक खतरा या एक मौका?) Good morning/afternoon everyone, Sabse pehle ek chhota sa sawaal — Aap mein se kitne logon ne kabhi Alexa ya Siri ko ‘Thank you’ bola hai? Toh mubarak ho! Aap already robots ke liye tameezdaar insaan ban chuke hain — Jo future mein ho sakta hai hum sab ke boss ban jaayein! Aaj ka topic hai — Artificial Intelligence - An Opportunity or Threat? Pehle baat karte hain "Opportunity" ki… AI sirf science fiction nahi, aaj ke time mein science fact ban chuka hai! Healthcare mein, AI detect kar raha hai diseases jaise cancer, woh bhi early stage mein!
