Wandering Thoughts

Most of us usually go with paying the income tax, but may or may not file the returns and don’t get into the details of it. If you would like to know, then you have to go through this article as this one is to create a way more awareness on what is income tax? Why do the governments impose income tax? How is it calculated and collected? What is form 16? Why should we file the IT returns? And so on. Income Tax can be defined as the percentage of income that government imposes on every salaried individual, corporate firms, companies, Association of persons and on anyone who generates income. The law that governs the income tax is Income Tax Act, 1961. The government uses this amount for infrastructural development, to pay the salaries of those people working as state or central government employees and to serve the public.

Every year we celebrate our country’s independence on 15th August. We remember our great leaders like Gandhi ji, Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhash Chandra Bose, Chandrasekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Lala Lajpat Rai and all. But more often, most of us ignore the earlier leaders who even fought with British for our freedom like Jhansi Laxmi Bhai, Nanasaheb, Tatya Tope, Begum Hazrat Mahal, Kunwar Singh, Maulvi Ahmadullah and so on. This article provides an insight on how the British colonized India, who were these leaders, what they did and how they were the major driving force for the historical event, “1857 Revolt” which is also known as the first war of Independence. The British entered India in 1600s when India was under the rule of Jehangir. They were contended to be traders as India was a stronger nation back then. Their principal was very simple, “Divide and rule”. They always used to involve two people into a combat and take advantage of that. If such things doesn’t happen, then they used to...

It’s a bit surprising even for me to write this article instead of a planned one that is based on an inspiring historical event. But the moment I experienced something strange today allowed me to articulate it. we help each other as human, but are we ready to help someone whom we are not aware at all that too when we ourselves are already in a difficult situation? There exists only such less people in this world who make us feel that humanity do exist. Here I start. I think there’s a strong, strange connection between myself and rains, either the moment I step out, the rain starts or the moment the rain starts, I step out. Yes, it happened again, similar to the incident that I experienced just around 3 weeks ago as I described in my Article#1. But this time to my surprise, it seemed to be some problem with my bike. I was able to start it, reached some distance wherein the mean time I noticed a few drops on my head. I thought it just vanishes as from one week we were not experiencing a...

An article about Social Media on Social Media, Sounds interesting, right? Here you go. The 21st century has seen wonderful growth in technology and science. Now-a-days, almost everything is online, just with a single click from your PC/Laptop/Mobile, most of the things can be managed effectively. Apart from all this, the advancement has also established something called a virtual world through social media. A world to which everyone is giving more importance these days than the real world.

A scary term to hear. What is this so called Depression? How does it arise? Is there a way to come out of it? If so, what is that? Well, this article gives you all the answers. Read on. Depression is defined as a condition wherein an individual stops being with himself. It can arise due to reduction in one’s confidence levels. The reasons can vary from personal to professional. Again, I believe there are two types here, one is something that leads gradually and the other an immediate one, a kind of shock. Whatever the case it may be, one suffers the same way. Most of us would have been into depression at any time, knowingly or unknowingly. But what is important is how we overcome this situation and be back to the normal state. The first thing here is identifying that we are in that mode, then having a strong zeal to come out of it and deal with the trouble/problem. If someone asks me whether I had experienced depression, then I say, yes I was in depression two years back from now for ...

Some people would give a smile with little shyness on their face and some, just have a weird expression on what this entire article is going to be about!! Well, it’s not something new, not even something that is odd, but it is something what everyone of us do and experience, but never dare to talk about. If you reach to a conclusion that I am going to highlight about that love which everyone of us take by default, then let me correct you. That kind of love is going to be only the part of this article, but not completely about  :-)  Yes, now you are on the right track, it’s about the universal love that this article is all about.  15 years back, the time when I was in school, during one of the lessons, there came this concept “Love”. And every one of us just started looking at each other with a smile on our face. Our teacher gave an appropriate response by saying that it can...
