Goodbyes!

Image
  “Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending.” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Nobody likes to say goodbye. It’s exceedingly painful to bid adieu to something you don’t want to leave. They’re considered to be a sad and heartbreaking experience but they don’t have to be. Goodbyes are a cathartic exercise in interpersonal relationships which gives closure to the human mind, something which it greatly values. What makes it so difficult is confronting the fact something which we thought was permanent, simply isn’t. It forces us to come out of our bubble and wander into the unknown. When we bid goodbye to someone, we are also acknowledging their impact in our lives and how they’ve made us better. Human beings are creatures of habit, we don’t like change. A lot of people avoid saying goodbyes to even the people they love the most for the sole reason that it opens an entire pandora of emotions. We feel so much because a part of ourselves is being left behind as well. It mak

Kaavyakosh- Language is everything

Image
 Kaavyakosh is a beautiful collection of poems that we personally adore! Kaavyakosh has been written by multiple celebrated writers across the globe in various regional and international languages.  I believe that we have achieved our aim of breaking the linguistic barriers because each and every language has its own beauty and charm, and we should not restrict ourselves from consuming great literature just because we do not know that language. Kaavyakosh isn't just a bulletin but an insight into the feelings of people, what they were going through in the lockdown. The whole world was under the arrest of Covid -19 pandemic. People scattered all over the world stood with each other in these difficult times. The language was never a barrier. People bled words of the same feelings and these feelings are the significance of Kaavyakosh. We, at Editorials, aimed at bringing these feelings to a greater platform for all the people to read. The pandemic has left us isolated and has given us

Behavioral Finance

  “Investing success doesn’t correlate with IQ after you’re above a score of 25. Once you have ordinary intelligence, then what you need is the temperament to control urges that get others into trouble   -Warren Buffet Behavioural finance, a subfield of behavioural economics, proposes that psychological influences and biases affect the financial behaviours of investors and financial practitioners. It focuses on the fact that people are not always rational, have limits to their self-control,  and are influenced by their own biases for example in markets with manipulative prices sometimes and invests maximum without any logical basis solely on behavioural nature. Moreover, influences and biases can be the source for explanation of all types of market anomalies and specifically market anomalies in the stock market, such as severe rises or  falls in stock price. Behavioural finance seeks an understanding of the impact of personal biases on investors. Common biases include: Overconf

Sustainable Finance

  Many of us must have heard policy makers encouraging a green economic recovering and prioritising economic and financial policy to avert climate change. This brings us to the emerging traction towards sustainable finance and green products that aim to promote climate change related environment solutions and to fund environment-friendly projects. Green bonds are one of the ways wherein investors can directly invest in fighting climate change along with fixed returns. Traditionally, bonds give investors a fixed return for a fixed term and funds generated by it could be used for general corporate purposes often not known to bondholders. Unlike these, proceeds from green bonds are earmarked for green projects related to renewable energy, sustainable waste management, clean transportation and other activities that offset greenhouse gas emissions and provide businesses with enough returns to satisfy the interest payments of a green bondholder. There are also new parameters upon which inves

Stages to Screens- Angoor

Image
  An adaptation is a recreation of a literary story that would suit the time, place and situation of the adapter. "Angoor" is one such effort from the famous writer-director Gulzar. It is based on Shakespeare's play "The Comedy of Errors". The play is full of comic situations derived out of two pairs of identical twins and their mistaken identity. Gulzar has successfully maintained this stream of humour while presenting the story in the form of a film. The objective of this study is to investigate that to what extent Gulzar’s Angoor – a cinematic adaptation of Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors” has been indigenized, keeping in view the transcultural audiences. Necessary changes have been made to make the film more relevant. For example, the very beginning of the original play and another scene have been discarded in the film to suit modern times. Gulzar has utilized many cultural and literary references as a means of making a local version of the foreign story
