Also present at the event and in conversation with Dr Rekha Shetty was N Vinay Hegde, Vice Chancellor, Nitte University. “Whatever the external circumstances may be, the individual is responsible for his inner state.

About the Book

The Indian tradition shows us that positive, radiant happiness is our birthright, and the programme outlined in this book illustrates how to achieve it for ourselves. The happiness quotient (HQ) is a concept that measures approximately, the measure of happiness each person has achieved in his life. This book provides a blueprint to increase one's HQ. It starts by describing the creation of a positive mindspace, one that nurtures the positive emotions that increase happiness.

Anti-happiness traps, too, find a special place in this book. They require special identification as they can be very misleading, like a comfortable golden cage full of fruit, must seem to a free-flying parrot. The book speaks about all these factors, and presents the idea of happiness in a whole new perspective.

Bengaluru, Jan 1: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah on Wednesday slammed the Centre on the issue of fare hike announcement by Indian Railways.

"Increase in Train fares is a New Year gift by Narendra Modi government to common people," Siddaramaiah tweeted.

"This will further dent the developmental prospects as Railways form a backbone of Transportation. Instead, the govt should have gifted us the values of our Constitution by upholding it," he added.
