Thermal screening everyday both at the entry and exit points, allowing limited work force in duty in the beginning, maintaining distance, arranging hand sanitisers,frequent sanitisation of premises, not to permit entry without masks are the most important if business is to continue ! Also arranging commuting facility for staff is preferable.People close to the working spot be allowed to report in the early days so that lesser time in commuting minimises the chance of infection. At least on day one, it is better to assemble all the staff and to address and appraise them once again, the possible symptoms to be aware of, precautions to be taken,importance of boosting one’s own immunity,necessity of proper food and rest.At the same time, it is better to instil confidence by citing that Covid -19 can be better managed if instructions by the authorities are properly followed The managements should not be over ambitious in compensating for the loss of production and should not insist on o...

Hai everyone !  “83 killed after being hit by lightning in Bihar”- a news item that drew my attention. I changed the decision and selected this topic in view of the need ! “When thunder roars, go indoors” -is a good dictum  !  A person struck by lightning needs medical care immediately to save life. Cardiac arrest and irregularities, burns, and nerve damage are common in cases of attack.With immediate treatment including CPR ( if necessary ),most victims survive.  Victims are not electrified. IT IS SAFE TO HELP THEM . A house is the safest place during a storm.An inside room is generally safe.Be away from windows, electrical appliances, wires,TV cables, metal doors, plumbing, metal frames ,taps, showers etc.Never take shelter under a tree. Avoid areas where you are the tallest object in the area. Ex.An umbrella increases risk if it makes you the tallest object in the area. Avoid water bodies such as lakes, beaches, swimming pools etc.Not t...

We know the way Trump has been holding China responsible for the havoc created through pandemic across the globe in general and US in particular.In fact even few scenes of xenophobia were reported with Chinese scorned.and snubbed at  when seen on streets or supermarkets and good that the trend did not gain momentum, Trump wanted a thorough political, diplomatic and a scientific probe in to the events at Wuhan lab that culminated in the global disaster.Leaders of many other nations too are vocal about such a proposal.However China offered some resistance initially to this proposal saying that  the virus was natural but not man made. It is human to attribute success to us and failures to others, more so in politics.But the world has been paying a heavy price due to the outbreak whether it is natural or man made and accidental or intentional ! Even an advanced country like the US did not seem to take it serious enough in the beginning and the delay delivered a body bow.China ...

Well, some amount of stress may be good for the individual as it increases competitive spirit, better output, keeps one physically and mentally agile too ! But as is established, chronic stress is undesirable, both to body and mind.An introspective analysis enabled me understand that emotions like fear, anxiety, apathy, disgust and distress, brooding, sedentary life style, form the root cause for stress.Loneliness and aloofness are the the best friends for stress.Usually a lonely person dives into the failures, troubles and  traumas, if any, of the past which develop stress and it may even spoil his or her present happy moments.Feelings like love and affection, sympathy and empathy, caring and sharing, an active and ambitious life style should help de stressing one self.Since chronic stress may contribute to many psychosomatic changes such as depression, changes in blood sugar levels in diabetics etc, ways and means of relieving stress are gaining popularity these days. To star...

We come across several people discussing day-today problems in trains and coffee clubs who go on feeling that things should have been done like this or like that and so on. We find many active people of all ages from 18 to 80 having a burning desire to do something for the betterment of the country, be it in the form of suggestions or feedback or actions. But the problem is to find a proper platform where they can give vent to their feelings and make the presence of their actions felt. For all such people there are certain things which are simple in nature and yet yield immense benefits for the country at large. For instance, switching off, of all the electrical appliances while not in use ! This saves one’s monthly bill ,helps nation’s economy and helps to minimise pollution. Avoiding wastage of water and food is another noble task. Treat wastage of these as nothing short of sin.The resources such as food, water, power etc belong to nation ( ie all of us ).It is shocking to not...

Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Industries has wiped off its massive debt of about Rs.161000 crore in less than two months, much earlier than the set goal to make RIL debt free by March 31 2021.A major amount is realised from the sale of stakes in Jio Platforms to 10 investors including Facebook and the rest from rights issue ( which is a company’s invitation to the existing share holders to purchase additional shares ) .The combined capital raised has no global precedence in such a short time.These are also unprecedented in Indian corporate history It is indeed a stupendous achievement by this corporate behemoth, more so at a time when there is an economic lull across the globe. RIL ! A dream scrip for novices and experts alike for the simple reason that it fetches good  returns on the investment if one plays cautious and it is no exaggeration  that it decides trends on the capital markets. It is a scrip that both investors and traders have a special fascinati...

Greetings on the eve of  “International Day of Yoga” The theme for 2020 is "Yoga for Health - Yoga at Home" The word yoga means union ! Said to be the union of the finite with the infinite. There is one essential diffrrence between conventional physical and yogic exercises.The former need aggressive and vigorous pace to tap the benefit while the latter need a ,composed ,calm and controlled movements to get the optimum benefits.The former act on the physical plane to a larger extent while the latter act on the emotional plane.There is a school of thought advocating therapeutic potential to certain ailments through the practice of this ancient legacy. I believe there should be a greater thrust for a scientific research in evolving practice profiles for the curative effect for specific ailments where,things like the posture(s) to be practiced,the length of the session,number of days needed and the expected results through the relevant diagnostic tests etc are to be formu...
