  Getting enough sleep is crucial for our physical and mental health, but there are times when we may have to function on low hours of sleep. Here are some tips on how to stay fresh with low hours of sleep: Stay hydrated: Dehydration can make you feel tired and sluggish. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep yourself hydrated and alert.

  New research suggests we can sustain peak performance longer than previously believed. Key skills like critical thinking and creativity can be improved in later life.

Recent discoveries in embodied cognition, flow science, and network neuroscience have revolutionized how we think about human learning. On paper, these discoveries “should” allow older athletes to progress in supposedly “impossible” activities like park skiing. To see if theory worked in practice, I put these ideas to the test on the ski hill, conducting my own ass-on-the-line experiment in applied neuroscience and later-in-life skill acquisition — aka I tried to teach this old dog some new tricks.  Over the past decade, scientists have learn...

  An amusing thing happened. I got an interview call from Cacutta when I was posted in Delhi. I could not make much out of the role but being away from my mother city , I was inspired by my mother to fly down to Calcutta and have some sumptuous food as I had not been home for long and I had recently recovered from almost a life threatening battle with diarrhoea after consuming fruit juice from a local fruitstall in South Delhi while on a market visit . As the flight fare was being reimbursed , I decided to take a hop down to Calcutta .  The call was from a company called the Duncans Group. I was always starry eyed about the colonial companies in Calcutta . They covered industries from tea to jute to mining. Many of you may be familiar with the boxwallah culture. This involved doing business in monopoly areas , having a critical competitive advantage in the industry. It involved focused paperwork and completing work within a scheduled work hour , maintaining discipline in the o...

Or a product designer, brand owner or distributor considering taking the plunge into wholesale? I don’t know about you, but when I first got into the business of wholesale, I did question the logic of selling my products at such a reduced price. It does seem more profitable to sell at full price direct to the consumer, right? But, selling wholesale to other retailers (both online and bricks ‘n mortar) can be very lucrative if you get it right. Build brand awareness (aka become well known!) Building your business and brand online means building an audience, attracting customers, one at a time. Sure you can use technology and paid traffic to speed this up a bit. But stocking into a bunch of other retail stores is a sure-fire way to become instantly better known. All of a sudden your ideal customers are seeing your brand all ove...
