SANITY MUST PREVAIL IN HANDLING THE COVID PANDEMIC

    Pic courtesy : Pixabay The World is looking at us. We have the centre-stage. Its time to Shine!      As we enter the third wave of the pandemic, we should not forget our experiences and lessons learnt from the first two waves. Rule No.1 in handling most stressful situations is "DO NOT PANIC". The clarity in thought must be there and all steps must be taken consciously after much forethought.       Lets look at the facts straight, shall we? Its a flu virus (one of the many) which has mutated/evolved and has spread globally. In 90% cases, it is presenting as asymptotic/mild or moderate disease. The overall mortality from the Infection is less than 2% (Total Cases Worldwide - 30.5 Crores, Deaths - 54.8 Lakhs) . The worst thing the Infection can do is kill us. Loss of every life is painful - both for the healthcare professional as well as for the near and dear ones.

Farming - One Skill Everyone Should Learn

Farming or creating consumable vegetation is such an important but highly neglected skill. Mankind is highly dependent on a regular produce and supply of agricultural products. Humanity can do away with many other things but not food. In the time of COVID pandemic when only essential services were running, we realized the importance of regular supply of food and groceries.  Even with so much dependence on this sector, it remains one of the most neglected in the society. Farming should be a skill which everyone should be well versed with. It should be part of the practical classes of basic education. Everyone should be encouraged to grow one or more crops on whatever cultivable area they can use. In India, the income from agriculture is non-taxable. Inspite of that very few foray into this sector. People from traditional farming families in the villages hunt for miniscule jobs in the cities and move to the city suburbs. The lack of facilities and support to encourage farming

Footwear Collection for Men - Different Styles for Different Times

Let's take a walk down the shoe lane...       Remember the scenes from old movies, where the entry of the hero or of the villain is marked by first a shot of his shoes. In many instances, the first thing to be noticed on a person is his/her shoe-wear. It forms an important fashion statement.         A shoe collection having different pair for different times is a must for men. One for work, one for leisure, one for sport, one for lounge, the list goes on. Shoes are primarily worn for the protection and comfort, but they form an important accessory and should be kept in good condition by taking care of them.      This article is about shoe collection for men. Women's shoes is not my cup of tea, but I am sure of one thing that the number of shoe pairs a woman has is more than the total number of clothes in the men's wardrobe.     Following is basic must have collection that every man ought to have: 1. Workwear - Clarks Second Option : Without Laces 2. Casual wear - Sketchers

Ethnic Wear - Men Fashion

 Ethnic Wear for Men - A Must Have Collection Normally, a man wears two types of clothes in a day - formal for work and casual for rest of the day. So, shirt and trouser in the morning and a pair of jeans & t-shirt in the evening. There are many occasions which happen like Puja days and other holidays which demand to get into a new set of clothes - The Ethnic wear. And one should dress up good on these occasions for a change. It is said that when one is sitting in a Puja, some sort of silk cloth should be worn as it absorbs maximum energy among different types of fabrics.  Wearing a traditional outfit gives a change to oneself and to other people also who see you in a different light. Here in this article, I would like to suggest a few options that one can try. They are different types of ethnic wear for various occasions. Feel free to click on the embedded links and browse the products. 1. The first Ethnic wear to have - Plain White Kurta Pyjama Second option 2. Occassional Wear -

Starting from Bhubaneswar, taking a connecting flight via Hyderabad, we reached Dubai. The trip was booked and planned with Aaryan leisure and travels. We flew by Indigo and just at the beginning of landing when you feel like peeking from the air-plane windows, the area you are reaching, i could see nothing but sand everywhere. The actual city was visible just a few minutes before landing. When our pickup vehicle came at the airport and we were moving on the way to hotel, I was fascinated and amazed the city is built in the midst of nothing but desert area. The beauty of construction work and infrastructure is marvellous.  As i was about to reach the area near my hotel, Dusit Thani, I fel

Panchalingeswar Panthanivas OTDC

  #OdishaTourism, #OdishaByRoad, #KalingaRides, #SecretsAtEveryCorner   Panchalingeswar Panthanivas OTDC   On 27/09/20 after finishing the Bike Rally on World Tourism Day 2020, our riders group, The HOG - Kalinga Chapter headed for Panchalingeswar Panthanivas, Balasore to explore Odisha by road and enjoy our sponsored night stay. We left at 11.00 am and reached by 2:00 am covering a journey of around 200 Kms.   The Road Highways of Odisha are well built for a safe journey. At some stretches, construction was going on for expansion and a few diversions were there on the to-route, but most of the route was good. While returning the route was even better. After reaching our destination,  we checked in our respective rooms, freshened up and went to enjoy our lunch.  The staff at the OTDC panthanivas was hospitable and served us well. The location of the resort was picture-perfect. The panthanivas was located right in the lap of the beautiful mountains. After lunch, I went to my roo
