Introduction

Time is very precious in our life. Everyone gets 24 hours in a day, but the way we use it makes the difference. Time once lost never comes back, so we should learn to manage it properly.


Need for Time Management

Without time management, life becomes unorganized. Students may miss homework, workers may fail to complete tasks, and people may feel stressed. By managing time, we can do our work on time and still have free time to relax.


How to Manage Time

We can manage time by making a timetable, setting priorities, and avoiding laziness. Important work should be done first, and less important work can be done later. Using time wisely also means not wasting it on unnecessary things like too much mobile or TV.


Importance of Time Management

Time management helps us to become successful in life. It increases discipline, reduces stress, and improves our focus. A person who values time is respected everywhere.


Conclusion

Time is the most valuable gift, and once it is gone, it never returns. That is why we should always manage our time properly to achieve our goals and live a happy life.

Explanation of Rasa Theory Introduction Indian literature, drama, and art are based on emotions. The ancient thinker Bharata explained the science of emotions in his famous work Nāṭyaśāstra . The central idea in this book is the Rasa Theory, which tells us how art creates emotional experiences in the audience. Without Rasa, no poem, drama, or performance can be successful. Definition The word Rasa means “essence,” “flavor,” or “taste.” Just as food becomes enjoyable because of flavor, art becomes meaningful because of Rasa. In simple words, Rasa Theory says that the purpose of art is to produce emotions in the hearts of the audience.
