Why Study Philosophy ?
The chief practical reason to study philosophy is to acquire a very valuable set of skills. In philosophy the student becomes the active inquirer, thinker, and solver of problems and not just a passive learner who memorizes ideas only. Philosophy develops skills of critical and moral thinking, argumentation, information management, research, communication, abstract reasoning, and analytic and synthetic thinking. Students of philosophy also learn to identify important fundamental questions about themselves and their world through the process of clear, critical thinking and argumentation. Philosophy is about watching, interpreting, and understanding the world and the people living in it. Recent scandals and problems in business and government have highlighted the important role of ethics in corporate and public life. Advances in medical practice and research have created a growing need for medical and research ethicists who might work directly with genetic researchers, or assist patients and care-givers in morally difficult situations. Philosophy could make significant contribution, particularly in relation to children's moral development, because the Indian curriculum currently neglects this aim. Philosophy needs to be included in the curriculum because it has demonstrated cognitive and social gains in students who were exposed to philosophy in their academics.

MAGIC
“Magic” the five letters word, interesting yet mysterious. What is MAGIC? For kids, it is
happiness; for adults, it is illusion; and for old people, it is stupidity. People often say, the magic is to show some kind of tricks and befool people's eyes. But, nobody pays attention towards the world's greatest magic
i.e.
 the SMILE on faces of children after watching those tricks. Though, the tricks are to betray human eyes but, still this is the biggest magic. Everything is magic in the world.... even our existence itself is the nature's most amazing magic. People don't believe in magic because they do not have time to see and think it. No one thinks, a woman puts her life in danger to bring a young one in this beautiful world. Isn't that amazing? How a tiny body grows into an adult like us! We get many bodies in the same birth. Nobody dies with his same body which he got immediately after birth in his old age! A kid when tossed in air laughs instead of crying because he believes that the person who is tossing him, will never let him fall. His faith itself is magic. Magic is in the flying of birds fragrance of flowers falling of rain and smiles of children.... Voice of rhymes roars of ocean songs of air magic exists everywhere.... And I exist in the world because there ONE MAGIC which can be done only by me. Every person is here to do that MAGIC which he only can do. Believe and see that magic makes the world so beautiful.
