Theme: Redefining Yardsticks

Everything in the world today is evaluated by various predefined ‘yardsticks’. Conventionally, a person is called successful if he has a respectable job and earns well. A person with an excellent academic record is considered to be intelligent. But in today’s world, are these measures still relevant?
Through this theme, we aim to explore how individuals are working towards changing the way we measure various aspects of life. It is very important to revisit and break-free from the norms that we were bound to several decades ago.
