The earring the mall the consumerism


Today I visited a mall in my city kolkata. I am fond of earrings, I saw different earrings, I observed their style, their finishing, how they are structured, the components or metals they are made up of. I saw the pricing. When I analyzed the pricing of every earrings wether that's on the lower or on the higher side, my conclusion was all are overpriced comparing to the cost of production .
People are buying these, but they could have bought that at much lesser price.
Taking away as much as profit as possible, should this be the basis of good business or healthy compition. Business needs profit to survive but how much , what are  the parameters.
A pair of earring which can be made at rupess 50 are sold at rupees 300.
Who are getting maximum amount of profit, the owner, is the labour who worked for it getting its appropriate dues?
Our earth is now an imbalanced, very imbalanced round body. There is rooted economic imbalance. Someone in India living in a bungalow which has 27 th floors and in the same city is the largest slum of our country.This is because we are buying high priced overrated products influenced by attractive marketing but never questioning the story behind. Never questing the system. Never learning how it works and how it should be corrected. Accepting our daily grievances , abusing the system but not getting united and working for its betterment in our own way. No one is calling us from within and asking for change. We are slaves of blind unquestionable consumerism.

Health ...Mental Health is more Important than Physical Health

What do we understand by Mental Health ?  When our mind cannot accept our outer environment as it is and we do not feel happy or positive about it that can cause mental stress . Our outer environment is very good but still we are not good enough within our mind and suffering , sometimes we misinterpretet things or anticipate a danger and become sad or anxious . The main problem , of mental stress that we could not accept or apreciate our outer environment or certain people or their behavior towards us . Weather the situation is perfect or good , or the person is right and wrong is irrelevant . The problem we face is in our mind , in our thoughts , in our imagination , our emotions are hurt , we think we are not understood by others ( we can be wrong sometimes too , but we are so hurt , that we sometimes cannot see the rationality )  More than the incident , we suffer in our thoughts . We know we cannot change the situation but we desperately want to change it . According to me , let go

Art, Brain Functions, Learning & Imagination

When I hold a pencil to create a figure, I cut myself from all the distubances the world gave to me. I feel focused and an unique calmness touch my soul. What I create gives me  immense satisfaction and confidence. What I create gives me a sense that - "you are a creator". My paintings and sketches may not be up to the mark or work of a genius but completes me.If I sum up, I can say art is a therapy for me.  Studies says that people who practise more sketches, develop more problem solving attitude, as they need to visualise and create concepts in their mind, they tend to develop vision and concepts, how to resolve problems. The brain  gets trained to that particular way.  As parents are always thinking to give the best education to children, lessons of art always help children to generate an eye- hand co-ordination, what a child can see always try to depict that with the help of  hands, which sharpen his or her sense to produce something in a perfect manner.
