The enthusiasm to own Electric Vehicles (EV) is increasing among the people. Though it costs 40-45% higher than usual fuel vehicles, saving on petrol and diesel and contributing to saving our mother earth are rational reasons to buy it. Some companies already have started selling EVs. Well reputed Tata Motors is in the first row with its Nexon EV release. Hundreds of start-ups have already started selling electric two-wheelers. The customers need to know that there are certain grave issues to be understood. The principal one is the lack of charging and maintenance infrastructure. Those who have independent houses have the facility of installing a charging setup but in apartments, it is a real challenge. There have been some recent fire incidents in EV bikes' batteries. The minister for road transport and highways, Nitin Gadkari warned the companies to recall faulty vehicles. Another serious challenge is that when there are many EVs, can the governments provide sufficient electricity? Now power cuts are everywhere as there is not much coal availability. What and how it will be in the future is a serious question to be answered. It is good to imagine that the roads of India are full of electric vehicles and no more noise and no more thick smoke from the vehicles. It is also estimated that in two or three years as the price comes down and present issues with EVs are addressed we will see many such vehicles on our roads.

Dilya-eje, a secondary school teacher in the border village of Samarkandek, Kyrgyzstan, often visits the houses of her neighbourhood to record the children who should attend school the next year. She always indicates the status of their parents in her notebook. More than half of the parents are labelled as migrants.
When men migrate, women take on the usual male roles: today most agricultural labour in the villages is done by women. But in Kyrgyzstan there are also a high number of women migrants. In 2016, women accounted for about 40% of total Kyrgyz labour migrants to Russia. Some are divorced or married women and some are very young girls who begin to earn money just after graduating from high school. Women migrating to Russia are usually employed in the service sector.
Because of these trends, traditional notions of femininity and masculinity are now often in conflict. Despite the fact that these women are sometimes the main source of income in their families, they have to face misogynistic behaviour – and violence.

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Dhamaal is a mix of Sufi and African (mostly East African) musical and dance traditions. It refers particularly to the spiritual practices of the Siddis of Gujarat. The Siddis begin almost every Dhamaal song by blowing into a conch shell. This is often followed by the slow playing of East African percussion instruments like the musindo and the slow thumping of feet that marks the onset of the singing and dancing Dhamaals. The ritual of foot thumping is a crucial part of spiritual East African dance and musical traditions. The Siddis are followers of Islam and arrived in India from Muslim communities in East and Central Africa. Dhamaals are performed in memory of their spiritual leaders, among them Bava Gor, Mai Misra, Baba Habash and Sidi Nabi Sultan. According to Siddi folklore they arrived from Ethiopia through the Nubian Valley, Syria and the Indian Ocean to the coast of Kuda in the Bhavnagar district of Gujarat. Usually, Dhamaal songs and dances are performed to celebrate the anniversary of the birth and death of spiritual leaders. They are performed in two ways - Dance Dhamaal and Baithaaki Dhamaal. The Baithaaki Dhamaal is performed in the sitting position and the Dance Dhamaal is performed in both sitting and dance positions. During the performance of Baithaaki Dhamaal the focus is more on the lyrics and less on the musical instruments. During Dance Dhamaal the focus is more on the sounds of the instruments. These are often played in a frenzied manner and accompanied by frenzied dance movements. The spiritual songs that are sung during the Dhamaals are known as zikrs.

"Good is the enemy of great" is one of the most popular self-improvement expressions there is. It's the first sentence of an international bestselling business book, the title of another self-help book, and a mantra that NFL superstar J.J. Watt has used in press conferences. It sounds appealing and rolls off the tongue nicely, but there's a good chance it's downright wrong.
We're told that striving to be great and never being satisfied are necessary to meet the ever-increasing pressures and pace of today's world. It's the only route to success. But what is it all for? What does success even mean? Rates of clinical anxiety and depression are higher than ever. Some experts believe that loneliness and social isolation have reached epidemic proportions. Two-thirds of all employees report feeling burned out at work. Surely this isn't the kind of success that everyone is after.
Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh offers that true success means feeling content with the unfolding of your life. It is "finding happiness in your work and life, in the here and the now."
The kind of success that Thich Nhat Hanh champions isn't about striving to be great all the time. It's about being at least OK with where you are, about accepting good enough. What's interesting is that not always trying so damn hard to be great isn't just the path to being happier; it's also the path to getting better.
This mindset improves confidence and releases pressure because you don't always feel like you're coming up short. It also lessens the risk of injury-emotional and physical-since there isn't a perceived need to put forth heroic efforts every day. The result is more consistent performance that compounds over time. Research shows that sustainable progress, in everything from diet to fitness to creativity, isn't about being consistently great; it's about being great at being consistent. It's about being good enough over and over again.
A wonderful case study is Eliud Kipchoge, who just shattered the marathon world record. He's literally the best in the world at what he does. Yet Kipchoge says that the key to his success is not overextending himself in training. He's not fanatical about trying to be great all the time. Instead, he has an unwavering dedication to being good enough. He recently told The New York Times that he rarely, if ever, pushes himself past 80 per cent-90 per cent at most-of his maximum effort during workouts. This allows Kipchoge to string together weeks and weeks of consistent training. "I want to run with a relaxed mind," he says.
Unlike so many other runners who have tried and failed to break the world marathon record, Kipchoge has never been obsessed with the mark. Prior to his record-setting race, when asked about his mindset, he told The Times, "To be precise, I am just going to try to run my personal best. If it comes as a world record, I would appreciate it. But I would treat it as a personal best." Kipchoge puts running in its place, which, for him, is in the here and now, not in striving to meet ever increasing expectations. “When I run,” he says, "I feel good. My mind feels good. I sleep in a freeway, and I enjoy life."
It's a paradox. A good-enough mindset might very well be the key to being great and happy. The less you want to be happy, the happier you'll be. The less you need to perform better, the better you'll perform. Just think about your own life. During the times you were happiest and performed best, were you striving? Were you chasing after something? Or were you more like Kipchoge-grounded, at peace, and feeling good enough with what was in front of you? This doesn't mean you should never desire productive change or improvement. Quite the opposite. Though they may run counter to so much of the current ethos, adopting the following core principles of good enough is likely the best route to being happier and getting better.
