On certain occasions, I seek advice from my mother Mrs Sakuntala Pradhan as parents are the best consultants and advice from the experience of their life.

A line said by your closed one that you never forget?
“Assumption is the mother of all screw ups!.” said by one of my previous bosses whom I adore. This means sometimes we make assumptions based on incomplete or false information, and this could influence us to take wrong decisions. We should aim to take an educated decision by logic, data or opinion of others.
