But having a small aim can be a hindrance to your success. It is said that a small aim is a crime, and we couldn't agree more. Having a great aim is the key to success, and we will tell you why.

Serious here means that the air quality index of Delhi remains between 401 and 500. According to experts, when AQI is between zero and 50 it is called 'good'. A score between 51 and 100 is considered 'satisfactory', a score between 101 and 200 is considered 'moderate', a score between 201 and 300 is 'poor', a score between 301 and 400 is 'very poor' and a score between 401 and 500 is 'severe'.
