• The myth of self-independence and self-sufficiency!

• Does the “number” in the “Number of working hours” really matter?

  Or there is something else that really matters! Since the Indian software giant founder Mr. Narayan Murthy advocated for 70-hour work week for young Indians to improve productivity at work and then the (in)famous L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan advocating for 90-hour work week even including on Sundays and then some entrepreneurs across the world suggesting…
