Sridevi Ranganaathan  |  Argues in support of  "Work later"  |  1 year ago
I do agree time is not a constraint. When you feel happy,fresh and when you feel this is the right time to start the work whether its earlier or later you should finally give a quality output.
Amrita  |  Argues in support of  "Start earlier"  |  1 year ago
I have always felt that starting earlier gives me a chance to have a complete day rather than starting later. By doing that I don't feel rushed to complete the work just so I can get ready for the next day.

Oil is linked with lot of world economy. The rising price is due to appericaition in dollar index. Oil contracts are highly hedge. Switching to alternate source is likely. With big economies of world involved it wont be easy.

A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.

The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week. Days after days passed by, and the children started to com...
