Hey everyone, I wanted to share an incredibly humbling and life-changing experience that recently came my way. Back in 2013, when I was in college, I registered as a stem cell donor without fully understanding the impact it could have. Fast forward to 2023, I received a call from Datri Blood Cell Registry informing me that my stem cells were a perfect 10 on 10 match for a patient battling Leukemia. It was a surreal moment, knowing that I had the opportunity to make a difference after all these years. Initially, I felt a bit hesitant due to my lack of awareness about the process and the steps involved. But thankfully, my family stood by me and supported me throughout this noble cause. Their encouragement made all the difference. Moreover, as I was physically fit and all expenses were covered by Datri, there can't be any reason to say no to this opportunity. The journey began with a series of medical tests at Apollo Hospital, Ahmedabad, including X-rays, blood tests, ECGs, and more, ...

 I was attending a motivational-cum-inspirational session of "How to change our mindsets and be THE BEST, get double promotion or appraisals". The session was of two hours, and I was literally getting more agitated and disheartened to see the speaker creating a divide, a wrong perception, and establishing an incorrect standard among all of the listeners. What's worse was, his presentation and oratory skills were so superb and engaging that everyone forcefully remained engaged and allowed their brains to get washed. While the session was going on, my thoughts inside were dancing, and fighting and I really wanted to speak out and confront the speaker, "NO! YOU ARE WRONG" but how could I, and so I just started writing what I felt according to me was right and what I felt according to me he was wrong on. I literally parallelly was typing out this scribbler along with the session. (Please note, I don't oppose the speaker, but I oppose the mindset and his thoughts...

Perspectives matter. In the rush and hush of proving one section of people or ideology correct, one should not ignore the other section altogether. Everyone should be heard and felt inclusive. The divisions are a myth. Life is not binary and every personality is the amalgamation of good and less-good factors. Every person has different shades of personality just like different shades of color. And that difference doesn't make that color out of the palette. Unlike political parties that keep enforcing their machinery to maintain a division in society (grey), we should be respectful and tolerant of all views, and perspectives (rainbow).  Is it a good idea to judge any person and blindly announce it either completely right or completely wrong? Life hai, BJP Congress party thodi hai!? Everyone has their own stories right? Our life is not just 1’s and 0’s You know… So, There was never a question Of who is right or who is wrong But it’s a question of WHAT is right or what is wron...

While we are all fighting to prevent invading a common enemy, Covid-19, by keeping social distancing and working from home, it becomes absolutely necessary for everyone to remain productive, and immediately adjust in the new setting. Everyone, especially extroverts, are not at all used to stay at home 24*7 and it becomes important that the remote working, lock-downs and home-quarantine don't affect their mental well-being. In India,  most homes still have joint families, (Grandparents, Parents and Siblings), and less private spaces (rooms) - in such conditions, how to remain productive and keep working is what I am going to explain here. Moreover, I am an experienced work-from-home employee who happens to have worked from home even before covid-19 spread and nurtured myself to remain productive and alert by practicing good practices. So I am eligible to share my experience on this topic. Without wasting much time, here are the 6 good practices for employees who are working from ...

February18th, 2020 - This day two totally opposite headlines came in " Divya Bhaskar's " Front page. First headline read: "Women now possess rights to have post of major/leader/commander in army". Second headline read: "Girls were stripped by teachers in a college to check if they are in periods because s ome Godmen consider it as sin (The authorities have apologized but so called godmen still are firm on their stand)" First headline made me happy (and even sad because Modi government was against this 😡 and I am huge fan of Modi and it was not expected from his government) but this second headline made me go mad. The girls were checked by other women teachers in a college to check if they are so called in sinister mode. Women against another women! This should change! If any religion claims and promotes gender inequality - then that isn't religion at all. Be it then this incident, sabarimala's or incidents of Triple Talaq. No one has righ...
