INNOVATORS              The capacity of human mind is massive with millions of neurons and sensitive parts. According to research the brain has more connections that the entire stars in the galaxy. Hence imagine what could be its capabilities with billion GB memory and fast information transfer within it. It is a supercomputer on its own. However, we haven’t discovered its fullest capacity yet. Even though we use only a part of our brains capacity we can achieve so much.  The common question that arises in every individual’s mind is how can we use it well? Well the answer is innovation. Every discovery is an innovation of something that has existed. What makes it innovative is the efficiency and performance of the innovation. Innovation is nothing but building something more efficient and easier than the existing product. Innovation makes us stand out from the crowd. That’s how Steve Jobs and Elon Musk became biggest innovators of our society.  Let’s understand this with an example.  Imagine a smooth road that recently got blocked by a big boulder. The vehicles going that way were obstructed because of this boulder. Generic people showed generic reaction of complaining and taking a rough route around the boulder. This route was neither smooth nor consumed less fuel. However, nobody thought of a better solution until one day when a man arrived and started to break the rock into bits. People ridiculed him for being dumb trying to break the boulder painstakingly. The others were however continuing the same route that was bumpy and long. After few days he restored the road to its glory and set up a toll booth. He demanded any vehicle passing by to pay toll for the shorter smoother road. So, people now started to pay him which made him an entrepreneur and an innovator.  The basic oxygen for innovation is finding a problem and bring the solution. People wanted to talk to each other instantly all over the world but couldn’t find a way other than phones. So Facebook was invented. People wanted to get food at their doorstep rather than waiting at hotels swiggy, Zomato etc came in. People wanted to buy stuffs easily and get it delivered at home, amazon was invented.  Just like the man in the story everyone could solve one problem in the society and become innovators in the future. Follow this and you could be on articles and magazines featuring innovators too. 

As a kid we all would have loved to do certain activities such as driving with dad or helping mom. And at school too we would have shown interest in different activities. We would have been good at some or we would have had a natural flare for them.  Yet the most common question asked whether it is a child or a grown-up adult in the interview panel is “what is your passion?”. What is this word so common yet so complex to give an answer? It a word that baffles our own mind. It is however the most misunderstood word in the vocabulary called life.  Passion is something that you love from every inch of your soul. It sparks something inside of you each time you do it or hear about it. It has a deep emotional connect with you. That’s why a person with passion achieves the crown in his field.  Passion can be on anything and not on just sports or studying. It has taken different forms and impact on different people.  For instance the passion of a voyager for travel made him find new worlds, the passion of a warrior towards conquest made him conquer many nations, the passion to explore the space made man land on moon and come up with technologies and inventions.           Well passion comes naturally like love at first sight and it cannot be attained or acquired. Its simply a fiery feeling that drives us to do more of what we love each day.  Like the Thomas Hawkins poem. “There is a road laid out before me I know not where it goes for its path is never shown to me where it ends nobody knows”        I wasn’t a topper nor a backbencher but an average student till 8th grade. This really intimidated my parents and they were worried about my future. Just when one day there was a function at my house and nearly 130 guests attended the function. One thing that struck me was that there were completely two classes of humans in the gathering. One part of the people was dressed decently, spoke well and had a good appeal. These people were the tiny part of my village who studied and got into professional lifestyle. The other part were the typical people from village and most of them were farmers. The clear line between the educated and the others made me realise how important education is. Thereafter I focused on my studies and improved well. It helped me get high scores in the board exams and I got the opportunity of studying engineering. There too the flare in me paved way for good grades and skill development making me the first in college.      For me passion at that time was studying and getting high scores. Similarly, many of you would have immense joy and talent in certain fields. Find your passion and work hard with determination to conquer your flare.

Importance of a Sitemap What is a sitemap? A sitemap is a file that list all the webpages on your website. Sitemaps can be divided into two categories. Sitemap for crawlers and the sitemap for visitors. Sitemap for visitors (html sitemaps) Sitemap for visitors/html sitemap is a page that allows visitors to see the layout of your pages and posts in one location. Some of these sitemaps include all pages, but you can limit it to just your top level pages. Excerpt from each page can also be included in the visual sitemap, giving your visitors an idea of the content contained on each of the page. An added bonus to a html sitemap is that is allows for all the pages you add to the sitemap to have internal links to each of your pages, making it easier for spiders and crawlers to see associations with your content. Sitemap for crawlers (xml sitemaps) Sitemaps for crawlers/xml sitemap are files created to tell search engines, like Google and Bing, about the pages on your website and how they are organized. Crawlers are able to read these files and crawl your site thoroughly. These sitemaps can contain valuable metadata associated with your site’s pages. Metadata allows the bot to know information like when the page was last updated, how often each page is updated and the importance of the page relative to other pages on your site. Metadata can also be used to give information about specific types of content on your pages, including mobile view, images, and video. These types of sitemaps are intended to be submitted to the search engines through google search engine console or analytics account. These type of sitemaps are limited to 10MB and 50,000urls. If you have a site larger than this, you can break your sitemap up into smaller files and include a sitemap index file with your submission of the sitemap to search engines. Why you need a sitemap? Sitemaps are not required but are highly recommended for all websites. A sitemap allows the crawlers of your site to get to all areas of your website no matter the size. This helps with Search Engine Optimization because it makes it easier for search engines to find all the content on your website. Sitemaps are especially important for new websites, very large sites, or sites with large archives. For new websites, there are very few external links coming into your site, so crawlers may have a hard time finding all of the pages on your site. Having a sitemap for the website will eliminate such problems. Benefits of having a sitemap XML sitemaps help search engines understand what you would like to index on your website and prioritize the crawling process. If your site has a deep directory structure, a sitemap will act like a guide for search engines so they don’t miss valuable content. If it’s a brand new site, adding a sitemap will be a good way to let search robots and the whole world know about it and index it accordingly. Sitemaps help you control indexing of certain pages in Google Search Console. An XML sitemap is your legal helper in confirming your content rights as it mentions the page publication and update time.
