Not every book that changes your life announces itself loudly. Some don’t come with hype, viral quotes, or thick spines. They arrive quietly—often unassuming and easy to underestimate. You pick them up thinking you’ll finish them in a day, maybe two. But long after you close the final page, something lingers. A sentence resurfaces during a difficult moment. A perspective shifts how you react to people. A truth settles in without demanding attention.Short books have a unique power. They don’t overwhelm you with information or try to impress you with complexity. Instead, they distill ideas—about identity, purpose, grief, ambition, faith, love—into their purest form. In a world of endless scrolling and shrinking attention spans, these books respect your time while still demanding your honesty.The books on this list are not old classics you’ve already seen everywhere. They are newer, modern works—written for today’s emotional realities, mental exhaustion, quiet ambition, and inner restlessness. Each of them can be read quickly. None of them leave you unchanged.Short books that quietly change how you see life1.

In recent times, Canada has recorded a sharp decline in new international student arrivals mostly owing to the federal government tightened controls on study permits as per the latest data released by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Canada Witnessing A Decline In Student Visas  It appears that only 2,485 new study permits were issued in November 2025 as indicated in IRCC’s monthly figures. This holds a significance as it is marking one of the lowest monthly totals in recent years contrasting the 95,320 study permits which were issued in December 2023, a peak month ahead of winter intakes.  The comparison has led to reports of a 97% decline in new student arrivals. Basically, the “new student arrivals” data is based on study permits issued in a given month, not the number of students physically entering Canada, said IRCC. According to the department, they count approvals that result in a study permit during that month.  Please note that the extensions, asylum claimants and existing students are excluded. Why Would This Happen? This data is designed to show new pressure on housing and public services, rather than the total number of international students already living in the country, IRCC stated.

Essar Green Mobility plans to deploy 30,000 LNG and electric trucks across India, supported by a nationwide network of 100 alternative fuel and charging hubs, as part of one of the country’s largest clean freight initiatives, an official said.The expansion is projected to reduce nearly one million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually from freight operations, a major contributor to transport-related emissions, marking a significant step towards decarbonising India’s logistics sector.“The shift away from diesel will gain traction only when clean alternatives align with the operational and economic realities of freight movement. That is the gap we are focused on addressing,” said B C Tripathi, Operating Partner – Energy, Essar Group.The strategy integrates vehicle manufacturing, fleet operations, and fuelling infrastructure to build a fully scaled clean freight ecosystem. Essar said this end-to-end approach is aimed at overcoming high upfront costs and infrastructure constraints that have limited the adoption of low-emission freight technologies in India’s carbon-intensive logistics industry.The group’s green mobility platform brings together Blue Energy Motors for truck manufacturing, GreenLine Mobility Solutions for fleet operations, and Ultra Gas & Energy (UGEL) for developing the supporting fuel and charging infrastructure. According to Essar, this integrated model is designed to ensure steady…  ​Read More​YourStory RSS Feed

Shubham Yadav, a resident of Jagdishpur village of Jaunpur district, runs a small manufacturing unit producing everyday home-care cleaning products. His enterprise makes items such as handwash, toilet cleaner, glass cleaner, tile cleaner, and dishwashing liquid, all meant for routine household use. The focus, he says, is on supplying basic cleaners at prices that local customers can afford, in a market otherwise dominated by costlier national brands.Hailing from a farming family, Yadav has BCom degree and an LLB degree. In fact, he also practises as an advocate on a part-time basis. After finishing his studies, he moved to Delhi in search of employment, attending several interviews, but steady work proved difficult to secure. Eventually, he returned to his home district and began looking for a business option that could be started locally and sustained over time.Choosing a daily-use businessThe idea of manufacturing cleaning products emerged from observing everyday consumption patterns. Yadav explains that household cleaners are items people cannot do without, regardless of income level or season. “From washing hands to cleaning the bathroom and utensils, these are things used every day,” he says, noting that this consistency made the sector practical for a small, local operation.Production involves sourcing raw materials, bottles, containers, and…  ​Read More​YourStory RSS Feed
