Why having Income Protection Insurance is a good idea

By -
We all have to work. After all, jobs are very much in demand today, given the percentage of unemployed youth in the country. Some are self-employed, having the freedom to do their work according to their convenience. But, what if, someone suffers such a fate that he/she becomes incapable of doing work, how would they sustain themselves?



That's where Income Protection Insurance comes into play. As Wikipedia describes, "Income Protection Insurance (IPI) is an insurance policy, available principally in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, paying benefits to policyholders who are incapacitated and hence unable to work due to illness or accident". Before you get too excited, India doesn't figure in the list of all countries allowing Income Protection Insurance.


It certainly doesn't help to have a bankruptcy attorney who would claim a fortune for restoring your accumulated wealth of a lifetime. Neither would it be profitable to have yourself bear the brunt of your bankruptcy tolls.

Let's hope India allows this policy real quick. I don't bear any particular good hope for the purpose, but we can only keep our fingers crossed.

Being a Good Class Monitor: The Dummy's Guide!

So students, every year there are two monitors selected from your class, right? I'm writing this article from my past experiences. This is practiced in most schools. All monitors/leaders are generally the "best boy" of the class/school (in discipline), or maybe the highest academic scorer (Well, the criteria does vary from school to school- I have written the common practice) . Observing leaders and captains from various schools, I have come to a conclusion and just decided to publish this article, as a guide. Being a leader is not that easy. One has to be taking the responsibility of his/her whole class, or perhaps, the entire school. Being a leader demands a lot from us. Some random quotes are: “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” -Steve Jobs, Apple co-founder “Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” -John F. Kennedy “The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjust

If you are a teacher, a staff, or a principal of any school, this article is for you. Students take leave for various reasons- fever, holiday picnic, etc. There are some students, who, in the name of these excuses do not attend school, and instead, doze at home. The IIS India team has compiled a list of 'Top 10 reasons Students use for being absent' for you. Don't worry students- there is something called "luck" that determines whether you get caught for using a fake reason! #10 : Let me start with the number 10. The number 10 is a 10 upon 10 if you judge the quality of the excuse, LOL. The reason is-" The last train/bus for reaching school had departed before I reached the station/bus stand " Seems a bit funny, right? Yes, it is. This is "just a bit popular" among students, so this becomes the #10 excuse! #9 : Next comes 9, after 10. The reason number 9 is increasingly becoming popular , as students get more creative and search f
