The session will take place between 6 pm and 7 pm. The trade modification window will close at 7:10 pm. A special pre-open session will also commence between 5:45 pm and 6:30 pm for IPO-bound stocks, while the closing session will take place between 7:10 pm and 7:20 pm. Many believe that trading at the start of the new Samvat or during the muhurat is auspicious since it heralds prosperity and financial well-being for the traders. Also, Hindus believe Diwali to be an opportune time to start anything new. The market will remain closed for regular trading on Diwali, which falls on Friday, i.e., November 1, 2024, this year. Before this muhurat trading session, a 15-minute pre-opening session will also take place between 5:45 pm and 6 pm. However, intraday traders and scalpers will have to exercise extra caution since all intraday positions will be automatically squared off 15 minutes before the market closes. Since the trading window is only open for an hour, markets will largely be volatile. The focus during such sessions is generally not on profitability but on the inherent gesture. Trading would take place across various segments like equity, commodity derivatives, currency derivatives, equity futures &amp; options, and securities lending &amp; borrowing (SLB) in the same time slot. Historically, these sessions have delivered positive returns for investors. Media reports note that of the past 17 muhurat sessions, the <keyword id="19950208" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bse-sensex" source="keywords">BSE Sensex</keyword> has closed higher on 13 of them. Since 2012, the country has seen 12 muhurat sessions, with the <keyword id="19896382" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sensex" source="keywords">Sensex</keyword> inching up on 9 of those occasions. Last year, the Sensex rose by 355 points during the muhurat trading session. Between 2014 and 2023, the Sensex had ended muhurat trading session in reds just twice, in 2017, where it dipped by 0.04%, and 2018, where it fell by 0.6%. But this positivity does not hold for the period that immediately follows the muhurat trading session, with data suggesting that Sensex has seen dips during 7 out of 11 such periods.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>'October theory' originated on TikTok and is the belief that fall is the best time to set goals.</li><li>Because three months are left of the year, some people feel more motivated by the deadline.</li></ul>As the ball drops on New Year's Eve, many people hope they can stick to their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/new-years-resolutions-are-kind-of-outdated-2023-12">resolutions</a> for the next 12 months.For those who struggle to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-stop-procrastinating-accomplish-new-years-resolutions-goals-2024-1">meet their yearly goals</a>, the issue might just be timing.According to "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@chloevanberkel/video/7420922072085450026">October theory</a>," a concept that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@macyymorgan_/video/7284009453979045162">originated on TikTok in 2023</a> and recently went viral, people feel more motivated to set and pursue goals because they realize the year is almost over. Psychologists who spoke to Business Insider said there's some truth to it.<a target="_blank" href="https://patriciasdixon.com/">Patricia Dixon</a>, a licensed clinical psychologist, said she always sees an uptick in therapy clients around October, as therapy can coincide with them wanting to make big changes. "When the pumpkin spice comes out, we know that we are going to get extra busy," she said of her practice.Even before she heard of the October theory, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kikiramsey.com/">Kiki Ramsey</a>, an executive coach and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/social-worker-quit-to-become-life-coach-positive-psychology-business-2024-8">positive psychologist</a>, told BI that she used to meet with her business-owner friends every October as a mini-retreat. They would reflect on their year so far and help each other set 90-day goals to finish it out strong.<h2 id="c26c0556-d832-4979-80a8-ea50a12ece9f">Shorter deadlines can be motivational</h2>Gyms tend to<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://fortune.com/2024/02/13/the-gym-flabby-january-planet-fitness-membership-equinox/"> fill up in January</a> when everyone gets started on their resolutions. Soon after, they empty as some people <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-stay-motivated-to-keep-working-out-exercising-trainer-2021-12">lose their motivation to exercise</a>.Part of that has to do with the daunting idea of keeping up a new habit for a whole year. Starting in October instead, with three months left in the year, can feel more manageable. "Even if you haven't been able to get your big to-do item on your list, you can get something done and still leave the year feeling accomplished," Ramsey said.She said reframing the remaining three months as a 90-day goal gives you enough time to reset and kick off a new habit without overthinking it.<h2 id="ecf562eb-f55d-4ddb-84d5-415189249950">Fall is a more reflective time</h2>If you live in a place with noticeable seasons, witnessing the temperature dropping and the leaves changing color can inspire internal change, according to Ramsey. Plus, with the cool weather and approaching holidays, people might feel more optimistic and ready to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/new-year-network-career-hobby-resolutions-goals-skills-2024-1">set career goals</a> in October than on New Year's in the dead of winter.The holidays can also inspire more reflection. In Dixon's practice, "it brings on a lot of feelings of people being nostalgic," whether clients are reflecting on their childhood or a difficult time in their lives. Often, it can prompt them to think about making big changes.<h2 id="d74962b5-9020-447f-8ada-7bc7e35b630d">It's a perfect time to get started</h2>To make the most of this time, Dixon suggested de-emphasizing the end-of-year deadline and using it more as a guideline. "Now's the time to get started, and where you land is where you land," she said.She also encouraged celebrating any progress so far as to motivate yourself to move forward.To feel extra energized, Ramsey recommended turning your goal-planning session into a social event where you can share your dreams with friends and get feedback on your progress."This is your opportunity to step into a new phase of life, filled with that fresh energy, a sense of starting anew," Ramsey said. "Make it fun."

<ul class="summary-list"><li>New Year's resolutions are often seen as unattainable. </li><li>So should we ditch the annual tradition? </li></ul>Creating a list of goals for New Year's Day is perhaps a tradition <a target="_blank" href="https://theconversation.com/where-did-the-new-years-resolution-come-from-well-weve-been-making-them-for-4-000-years-196661#:~:text=Historically%2C%20the%20first%20recorded%20people,honour%20of%20the%20new%20year.">older than Jesus</a>, but it might be time to retire the annual ritual.For many Americans, goal setting in 2024 will consist of putting together a list of resolutions that revolve around finances, self-image, and health and wellness.The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.forbes.com/health/mind/new-years-resolutions-statistics/">Forbes Health 2024</a> resolution survey gives us a glimpse at what people wish to accomplish this year.In a survey of 1,000 resolution makers, 48% of respondents said they wanted to improve their fitness, 38% of them said they wanted to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/how-to-set-realistic-new-years-resolutions-about-money-2021-12">improve finances</a>, and 36% said they wanted to improve their mental health.There is also a gendered aspect of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/new-years-resolutions-products-2019-1">resolutions</a>, where, according to Forbes: "Women (64%) feel slightly more pressured to set a resolution than men (60%)."I'm a part of that crowd: For years, I've kept a list of resolutions more exhaustive than an app's terms and conditions. Many of these resolutions fall in line with what others desire: achieving some monetary goal to buy something I really don't need or managing time I don't really have. Mixed in with these wishes are more practical goals for mental health and wellness.But resolutions are often hard to keep. According to some estimates, up to <a target="_blank" href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/struggling-new-years-resolutions-track/story?id=96173041#:~:text=According%20to%20research%2C%20Rook%20Williams,U.S%20News%20and%20World%20Report.">80% of resolutions</a> are broken before the end of January. And that's with all the advice people have been touting for years — from tips on setting <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reasons-why-most-new-years-resolutions-dont-stick">attainable goals</a> to fixing yourself in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biggest-mistake-setting-new-years-resolutions-2023-12">bite-sized chunks</a>.So now, you probably <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reasons-why-most-new-years-resolutions-dont-stick">haven't reached all your goals </a>and are beating yourself over it. And now you're going into the next year hoping things will get better (and they never do).And this negative feeling has started to affect the popularity of resolutions. Over the years, more people are generally ditching <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-boost-motivation-at-work-new-year-resolution-2022-12">New Year's</a> resolutions. A <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-years-resolutions-americans-opinion-poll/">CBS News poll</a> from 2021 found that resolution-making has plummeted. The reason? CBS posited that it may be due to the unpredictability of the pandemic and the chaos that has followed.So, should you ditch your resolution list? Some people have. As <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2022/01/2022-is-not-the-year-for-new-years-resolutions/621070/">The Atlantic</a> put it last year, resolutions aren't the vibe. You can't be a disappointment if you never set impossible goals in the first place!Instead, maybe we should start putting together year-end lists of everything we've accomplished over the year, The Atlantic suggests. That means your <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/instagram-scandal-crisis-era-mark-zuckerberg-lawsuit-child-predator-report-2023-11">Instagram </a>photo dump on December 31 showcasing your janky <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chatgpt-openai-cursed-crochet-animals-tiktok-loves-viral-2023-3">crochet projects</a>, impromptu trips to the beach, or exciting nights on the town is a definite yes.We can also go against the grain: Although they can be fun, dropping the usual goals that people opt for, like losing weight or <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/masteryourmoney">becoming wealthy</a>, may be a smart move.As <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thecut.com/2021/12/the-death-of-the-new-years-resolution.html">The Cut</a> put it last year, focusing on intrinsic goals — or goals intended to make us happier — rather than extrinsic goals — goals made so we feel more accepted by society — can help with resolution-making.So, for example, instead of telling yourself to eat bland salads because you want to look skinny for a photo that won't matter in 10 years, set a goal to eat more meals with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-loving-relationships-help-live-longer-2023-12">loved ones</a>.Because, as Dr. Richard Ryan, professor at the Institute for Positive Psychology and Education at Australian Catholic University, told the outlet, oftentimes achieving an extrinsic result could mean a loss of the one thing that truly matters: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/george-clooney-says-friends-didnt-bring-matthew-perry-joy-2023-12">joy</a>."The evidence shows that when people reflectively and mindfully get in touch with their values, they drop the stuff like weight loss; they drop the stuff like 'make more money or more possessions,'" Ryan told The Cut.

Lunar New Year traditions through the lens of three photographers

<ul class="summary-list"><li>In Scotland, New Year's Eve is known as Hogmanay and involves several fun traditions.</li><li>The holiday dates back to the 1600s, when Christmas was made illegal throughout the country.</li></ul>As the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/new-years-traditions-around-the-world-2017-12">new year</a> approaches, people around the globe are preparing to ring in 2024 with various traditions and celebrations.In my home country, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/scotland-tips-how-tourists-can-pass-as-locals-2023-10">Scotland</a>, New Year's Eve is known as Hogmanay and it's one of my favorite holidays. There are many Hogmanay <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/scottish-traditions-i-grew-up-with-that-americans-find-surprising-2022-1">traditions</a> that are unique and specific to Scotland, such as first footing, which means being the first person to visit a relative or loved one after midnight on January 1 to wish them well for the year ahead.Here's a wider look at the history of Scottish New Year, which has been celebrated throughout the country since 1600, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scotland.org/events/hogmanay/what-is-scottish-hogmanay">Scotland.org</a>.<h2>Hogmanay became popular in Scotland after Christmas was canceled</h2>The exact origins of the word "Hogmanay" are unknown, but it was thought to have first become popular after Mary, Queen of Scots, returned to Scotland from France in 1561, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-20596225">BBC News</a> reported in 2012.The name can be linked back to various international phrases, including the French term, "hoginane," which translates to "gala day," <a target="_blank" href="https://www.uhi.ac.uk/en/research-enterprise/cultural/institute-for-northern-studies/staff/donna-heddle/">Donna Heddle</a>, a Professor of Northern Heritage at the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, told BBC News.The history of Hogmanay celebrations is complicated. New Year's Eve was thought to have become a popular holiday in Scotland after 1640, when Christmas was banned due to its links to Roman Catholicism, according to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nts.org.uk/stories/scottish-christmas-traditions">National Trust for Scotland</a>.<div type="image" title="A woman is photographed wrapping gifts" height="1313" width="2000" msid="106325288" hostid="261" sizebytes="155148"></div>Christmas was illegal for 400 years and only became a public holiday in 1958, according to Scottish newspaper <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thenational.scot/news/19803443.christmas-banned-scotland-four-centuries---changed/">The National</a>.Before Christmas was reinstated, Scottish citizens turned to Hogmanay for festivities but the traditions that ensued are still popular to this day. For example, first footing traditionally involves bringing coal to someone's door for good luck, according to Scotland.org.While I've never brought anyone coal, I enjoy being the first person to visit a family or friend on January 1 to wish them a happy new year. Growing up, it was typical for my family to "first-foot" relatives, such as my grandparents.<h2>Hogmanay in the present day</h2>A more recent tradition involves singing "Auld Lang Syne," usually right after midnight on Hogmanay.The song was penned by Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1788 as a response to Scotland and England forming the UK in 1701, according to the tourism organization <a target="_blank" href="https://www.visitscotland.com/inspiration/culture/auld-lang-syne">Visit Scotland</a>. Burns included several traditional Scots phrases in the song to ensure Scotland's language and culture would be remembered. For example, the word "jo" means "dear," and "fiere," translates to "friend," the organization states.These days, the song is known all over the world and many Scottish people sing it while linking arms to ring in the new year.Like many other countries, people in Scotland celebrate New Year's Eve with parties, balls, street parties, and live music events.
