I wish I had let myself be happier. • Many realize that happiness is a choice and regret staying stuck in negative habits, fear, or comfort zones. They wish they had allowed themselves to enjoy life more. • Life lesson: Embrace joy, take risks, and let go of worries to live a more vibrant life.

Book Review:
Business Manager Vol. 27, No. 7, January 2025
The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023 has replaced one of the oldest laws of the country-The Indian Evidence Act 1872. Law of Evidence is the backbone of the Indian justice delivery system. The author has done a commendable work of interjpreting and simplifying each section of the Act to facilitate easier comprehension of the provisions. The author has made the contents of the book for educational, general understanding, and informational purposes. This new Act on Evidence law of the country has marked a significant shift which should be understood correctly. Legal professionals and advocates are expected to have a strong grip on this subject. What is required is a book that unfolds the complexities of law in an easy-to-understand way. The book fulfills this need.
The book gains relevance and importance because it is possibly the first such book on the subject after this Act is enforced, providing ready-to-hand information and clarifications for persons having an interest in law besides legal professionals.  
 S N MURTHY SENIOR ADVOCATE The Indian laws with regard to flexibility of employment is very harsh on the employers. In its anxiety to protect the security of employment in private sector, the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 was amended during the year 1976 with introduction of Chapter V-B. We may not find a provision similar to the one in Chapter V-B anywhere in the world. This provision, in short requires every employer employing one hundred or more workmen to obtain prior permission of the Government to lay-off, retrench or close down the establishment. This made it very difficult for employers to employ workmen for short duration, say a year or two or three. To add to the woes of employers, Justice Krishna Iyer in Sundarmoney Vs. State Bank of India laid down a stringent law through interpretation of the word `retrenchment’ by stating that an employee who works for 240 days cannot be retrenched without complying with the provisions of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act.

Here are some reasons why many believe this book is worth reading:
1. Celebration of Individualism At the heart of The Fountainhead is the idea of standing by your convictions, even when society pressures you to conform.

Themes of Integrity and Independence The book explores what it means to remain true to oneself in the face of opposition, criticism, and temptation to conform.

Statutory Bonus & Contract Labour

In the workplace, one of your colleagues behaves with you as a close friend, a well-wisher, and gives you a lot of praise.
