This school for girls in a hot Thar desert in India will surprise you with design and beauty:

 -  Read till the end to see beautiful photos shot in an Indian desert school. Can you imagine children studying in the middle of the Thar desert, where day temperatures peak close to 50 degrees Celsius and harsh winds cause sand to blow through the day? An architectural marvel, located just a six-minute drive away from Jaisalmer's famous Sand Dunes, has taken shape in Kanoi village, with an aim to educate girls and empower them. The  School is made of yellow sandstone, and surprisingly, has no air conditioners. Here, students can study and even play in the protected courtyard without worrying about the extreme weather.

The school will be the first in a complex of three buildings known as the GYAAN Center. Desert Needs no ACs You ca...

What leads to a happy life?

 - This is an interesting article summarising the below diagram. If you look at the above diagram description we can see two ways of looking at success, one angle thinks salary and job title will bring happiness and the second angle also considers salary and job title but these two things are only part of life, there are many things in addition to it, I.e physical health (healthy food, excercise, physical work etc), mental health (emotional regulation, anger management, relationship management etc), doing what you like, and free time to enjoy your hobbies and passion. In addition, also a career which gives you happiness, and the career which itself becomes your kind of hobby. There is a saying 'a person will be able to give his best only in the job which he loves'. It is important not only to get a job and good salary but also to know where we can fit best. If you go to any classroom, famously you can hear children telling two aspirations of their career, i.e engineer and doc...
