“Certificates get attention. Labs build confidence”.


I see this a lot as a trainer.

Learners rush certifications - and that’s not wrong.

Certs matter.  They open doors.

But labs are what make you comfortable when the door opens.

Certificates test what you know.
Labs test what you can do when things don’t work the first time.

In labs, you learn how to:
 • Break things
 • Read errors
 • Troubleshoot calmly
 • Understand why something failed
 • Build muscle memory

That confidence shows up in interviews, projects, and real roles.

My advice?
Don’t choose one over the other.

Use certificates as structure.
Use labs as experience.

That combination is what turns learning into skill.

If you’re currently studying:
 👉 Are you doing enough hands-on practice alongside your certifications?

Drop a 💻 if you’re committed to doing more labs this month.

Something I’ve had to learn the hard way in tech:


You can’t say yes to everything.🫠

Early in my journey, every opportunity looked like the opportunity.
Every role, invite, program and trend, I wanted to do all of it. 

It felt like I was making progress just by being busy.

But at some point, I realised something important:

Being active isn’t the same as moving forward.

Some opportunities looked good on the surface but slowly pulled my time and energy away from what I was trying to build, as a trainer, mentor, and professional in cloud and cybersecurity.

What helped me was getting more intentional.

Now, before I commit, I ask myself:

 • Does this align with where I’m going?
 • Will this strengthen my skills or impact?
 • Will I be proud of the progress this creates?

If the answer is no, I’ve learned to pause.
Not because the opportunity is bad, but because it’s not aligned right now.

Focus has given me more clarity than hustle ever did.
And clarity has opened better doors.

In tech (and life), depth beats distraction every time.

P.S: What’s one thing you’ve learned to say no to recently?🤔

Hindi on the Global Stage: A Language Beyond Borders

10th January is celebrated as ( विश्व हिंदी दिवस) World Hindi Day. It was first observed on 10 January 2006 to commemorate the First World Hindi Conference, held on 10 January 1975 in Nagpur, India.

The Government of India officially designated this day to:
	•	Promote Hindi as a global language
	•	Encourage its use in international communication
	•	Strengthen Hindi’s presence beyond India through diplomacy, education, and culture.

Hindi is more than just a language—it is a bridge of culture, emotions, and shared identity across borders. Spoken by millions worldwide, Hindi carries stories of tradition, resilience, creativity, and unity.

The language we know today as Hindi was originally referred to as “Hindavi” or “Hindui” by the great poet and scholar Amir Khusrau (13th–14th century). He used the term to describe the common people’s language that evolved from Apabhramsha and regional dialects, blending Persian, Arabic, and native Indian elements. 

Hindi in Devanagari script was adopted as the Official Language of the Union on 14 September 1949 by the Constituent Assembly, and this provision came into effect on 26 January 1950 under Article 343 of the Indian Constitution.

That is why 14 September is celebrated as Hindi Diwas, not because it is a national language, but due to its official status. Leaders like Subhas Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi,Jawaharlal Nehru and Lal Bahadur Shastri consciously used Hindi to mobilize people and express nationalist thoughts and ideas.

A Language of the Masses Worldwide

Hindi is spoken extensively in countries such as Nepal, Fiji, Mauritius, Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, South Africa, and the UAE, largely due to historical migration and cultural ties.

World Hindi Day was created to celebrate Hindi not just as India’s language—but as India’s voice to the world.

हिंदी का वैश्विक सम्मान—यही विश्व हिंदी दिवस का उद्देश्य है।

National Youth Day: Youth as Assets

National Youth Day, observed every year on 12 January, marks the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda—a visionary who believed that the true strength of a nation lies in its youth. This day is not just a celebration, but a powerful reminder of the role young minds play in shaping a progressive, inclusive, and self-reliant India.

The importance of National Youth Day lies in its focus on character-building, leadership, and nation-building. It encourages young people to channel their energy, creativity, and courage toward meaningful goals rather than short-term gratification. In an era of rapid change, this day inspires youth to develop discipline, self-belief, and social responsibility—qualities essential for personal growth and national development.

National Youth Day serves as a guiding light, reminding young Indians that they are not just job seekers, but change-makers, capable of innovation, empathy, and ethical leadership.

At the heart of this day is Swami Vivekananda, whose teachings continue to resonate across generations. He believed in the immense potential of youth and famously said, “Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.”

This day encourages young minds to think freely, act responsibly, and lead the right way. When youth move forward with purpose, the country moves forward with them!

Rising in Power: How Indian Youth Can Shape a Stronger 2026

Youth is not about age, but about mindset. In 2026, I choose progress over fear.
Learning every day, improving every skill. This is just the beginning.

The year 2026 stands as a crucial turning point for Indian youth, offering an opportunity to transform challenges into strength and uncertainty into leadership. With more than half of India’s population under the age of 35, young people hold unmatched potential to influence the nation’s economic growth, social harmony, and global standing. Rising in power does not only mean holding political positions; it also means gaining intellectual strength, economic independence, digital influence, and moral responsibility. If channelized correctly, Indian youth can emerge as innovators, decision-makers, and change-makers in 2026.

Key Pathways to Empowerment in 2026

Education and skill development will remain the strongest pillars of youth empowerment. 
The rise of startups, digital platforms, and remote work opens doors for global exposure without leaving the country. 
Alongside economic growth, civic awareness and participation will help youth raise their voices responsibly—questioning policies, supporting social causes, and contributing to nation-building. 
Equally important is mental and physical well-being; a healthy youth population is more resilient, productive, and capable of leadership.

Major Challenges Faced by Indian Youth

🔴Unemployment and underemployment remain serious concerns, often leading to frustration and loss of confidence. 

🔴Digital addiction, misinformation, and excessive comparison on social media weaken focus and self-worth. 

🔴Mental health struggles, peer pressure, and lack of guidance further deepen the crisis. 

🔴Additionally, social inequality, gender bias, and limited access to resources in rural areas restrict equal growth opportunities.

Practical Solutions for Sustainable Rise

➡️The government and institutions must strengthen skill-based education, vocational training, and internship opportunities aligned with industry needs. 

➡️Youthmust adopt a mindset of continuous learning and ethical responsibility. 

➡️Digital literacy programs can help combat misinformation and promote productive online engagement. 

➡️Open conversations around mental health and counseling, are important. 

➡️Encouraging youth-led initiatives, startups, and local leadership roles will build confidence. 

➡️Most importantly, unity beyond religion, caste, and class will allow young Indians to rise together rather than compete destructively.


In 2026, Indian youth can address challenges with practical solutions and a collective vision, besides redefine success and lead India towards a more progressive, and resilient future.

Every effort counts, when progress is slow.
Every step matters, more than you know.
Plant the seeds, let patience grow.
Time will reward what you sow.
