Imperfection is beautiful

 He looked at her. She looked at him. He looked at her but she didn't. He was just 1 foot taller than her,after all tall boy and short girl make a cute couple. There began their love journey in the tanker with their uniforms on and tired faces. Camp was their place of date. The place that brought them together. The place that made them look the least best with least makeup,with least hair gel and yet brought them together. They ran, marched, acted, sang, danced, ate, flew in the microlights together.She imagined him to be the pilot of her life and he imagined her to be the co-pilot of his life forever.In their barracks filled with people nobody even existed to them as they were lost in each others world waiting for the next meet looking through the window. Their show day was the only day they got to see each other in civilian dresses. Both looked lovely in their unpressed clothes, unwashed faces, unset hair. It was just another day with colorful clothes. Nothing mattered to them as they had already fallen for each others imperfections because it was all about loving beyond imperfections and imperfection is beautiful. <3

Low-carbon economy

The growth of economies today, generally, pertains to high industrial growth and modern luxuries dependent on high usage of coal and other fossil fuels, inadvertently leading to high carbon emissions. The Low Carbon growth is a novel concept that challenges this linkage, and promotes economic development based on industrial energy efficiency and low carbon technologies. Thus aiming to reduce the carbon-footprint and sustain economic growth in an ecologically sustainable model. 

So, what is a low-carbon economy? A Low-Carbon Economy (LCE) is an economy that adopts the Low Carbon Growth path and minimizes the release of greenhouse gases (GHG) without compromising on the development. But this transition to a low-carbon economy demands an economic and social transformation which is both exciting as well as challenging. This transition in turn would balance the three core dimensions of the energy trilemma (choosing between profit, people and planet) and forms a strong basis for prosperity and competitiveness of individual countries. But India too like other countries is facing this trilemma on the prioritization of energy goals which needs a path of low carbon economy. 

Governments and businesses have been making significant strides in this regard to research and develop a low carbon path driven by long term resource saving and immediate cost reduction. So what is creating the need for such attention?

Looking into the'Shadows' of Banking system



What is shadow banking? 
The term “Shadow Banking was coined by McCulley  in the year 2007.Pozsar and Adrian and Shin presented articles  the first articles on Shadow Banking.
   
The shadow banking system is similar to the traditional banking system but the range of activities, mirror each other. Shadow banks simply take the credit intermediation process of traditional banks and separate it into its constituent steps. As an example, a normal process for a bank might be to gather deposits, originate loans, package a pool of loans into an asset-backed security, and sell the security to an investor. The same process when occurred within the shadow banking system might require mul­tiple specialized firms each performing a different function.
From a risk perspective, the traditional and shadow banking systems differ in 3 key areas.
1 .Shadow banks do not hold deposits – Traditional banks have the benefit of being able to fund their activities using their own deposit base. These are also insured, making them highly stable. Since shadow banks are not depository institutions, they primarily tap short-term wholesale funding markets.
2. Shadow banks do not have access to deposit insurance or central bank liquidity – Since shadow banks do not hold deposits, insurance is generally moot. However, unlike traditional banks, if shadow banks run into funding troubles, they do not have access to emergency lending facilities from their central banks.
  3. Shadow banks are not subject to the same degree of regulation – In compensation for deposit insurance and emergency central bank support, traditional banks are subject to a wide variety of regulations including minimum standards for lending, capital and liquidity buffers, limits on leverage, and ongoing monitoring by regulators. In contrast, shadow banks are subject to a much flexible set of rules and less monitoring, if at all.
Your dreams never let you sleep. Chasing them everyday, every night.  I'm so lost. Donno which way to go. Everything looks good. Have you felt the same too ? 

Nenjukkule (In my heart )

Nenjukkule ull always remain throughout. You entered like sunshine to my life and from then there was no looking back.  Every part in me has transformed into a solar panel and doesn't function without your presence. Eclipses  happen to make the bonding stronger. So did you.
Nights are scary cuz I dont see u that's when I miss u the most. I'm scared of the next day. Scared of losing u. Scared where the time will fly so quick that there ll be another Sun wiping your memories and replacing you.  I know you are too hot  and too far for me to reach you but I'll dream of making you mine forever and ever. . Only you can brighten me and my soul.. Love u loads my sunshine
<3. :*

Fall in love for his varied culture, language, creed

Fall in love with the way your heart is craving for him for every second of your life
Love him all the more for giving you hopes all over again
Finally fall in love with his heart...that is never meant for u ...
