    It is more than four months since the government started the demonetization process on 08th November 2016. The process had the […]

    • Indeed, Demonetization, inspite of some of the drawbacks in the way it was implemented has been successful in making more people into cashless economy. Many people, especially older ones used debit cards for the first time.
      I have used one of the Mobile Wallets to pay to local vegetable groceries, Autowallahs, book stationers etc, and the best advantage of being cashless is that one does not have to worry about change of Rs.1, 5, 10 etc.
      Moreover, one can directly get amount transfered to their bank accounts. RBI has to print lesser notes thus checking inflation, and Government’s debt too reduces.
      Still, a lot of people have switched back to cash for smaller transactions, and this has to be somehow addressed.
      But this is not bad as such, because even in Western countries, especially UK, US etc, smaller transcations are in cash.
      Yet, it is good if larger transactions are done electronically to check misuse of funds, especially in Government sponsored schemes, Defence and Infrastructure payments, as you have mentioned.
      Black money too gets reduced.

      Overall, a big plus for India, but Government needs to be vigilant, because those used to big amounts of black money will try to defame Government and mislead people in different ways.

    Agree with what you told about cooking of food and warming in microwave at the plastic also goes into the food and the same is consumed by the family in the house where such a thing is done. This is very risky as it has contents like lead, mercury, zinc, tar etc. Many of the plastics are usually recycled and sold and one must be careful…[Read more]

That in itself would be a great achievement and one lifetime is not enough to do this as per what I know.

    Agree with you about the concept of a hard days work as the energy spent working by the person will make him tired and burn all the fat and energy which has been consumed by the person.

    No doubt you seem to be getting around eight hours of sleep and have become used to the schedule. I hope and wish you a good and healthy time.

    Being near computers more tends to disturb our sleep pattern too. There is also the problem of radiation from the computers and UPS or such other devices which we use.

    I am a big fan of dying my hair. I love having my hair in diferent colors but last year i over did it a little to the point that my hair is fairly damaged. I am now (trying) to completely repair it and grow it out […]

    • This is a big industry in our country of hair styling and other allied services. What I found is it is too costly. Once someone goes for these facilities there are several sittings and one needs to go there for the upkeep of their hair. This ends up draining lots of money from ones earnings. Anything if done in moderation is fine otherwise we are asking for trouble.

      Best thing is to go for home remedies and use remedies which are easily available and show immediate results. Like using the aloe vera, leaves of hibiscus mashed, henna or other such things and apply the same to ones hair especially during weekends as this process takes some time and needs to be done at a slow and calm pace. Using shampoo I have found in some cases it triggers dandruff problem too. Take care.

    • Yes, that is a good reminder for everyone. We depended so much on electronic devices. I may have lots of backups to different storage such as computer, laptop, mobile phone, tablet, external hard disk, flash drive, email, cloud storage and other electronic devices, but I often forgot to make a backup to a paper or notebook, which is the most reliable if the power and battery runs out. It’s always smart to have a backup data on paper. Thank you for this useful post.

      • Yes, we rely too much on storing everything electronically and forget the fact that something could happen and we might need some hard paper storage. Paper is harder to lose then information that is on a computer or phone.

    For me my sleep pattern changed because of some other work habits. And I used to stay a lot on computer. This in turn made me worry more. And this converted into sleep issue.

    Sarah Freitas wrote a new post, Drinking Coffee at night doesn’t help 7 years, 8 months ago

    I am usually a person that falls asleep quite fast. I used to drink coffee at anytime of the day and could still fall asleep but there are some kinds of coffee that have that energy effect on me. For example i […]

    • It does not affect my sleeping pattern even if I drink coffee after dinner.
      Maybe I am just used to it.

    • As per the recent research of Stanford university Dept., of Health and Immunity Coffee is good for health Persons taking coffee are less prone to cancer…of course this may look weird. So, Coffee has nothing to do with our sleep. It actually lowers the Blood pressure and de-stresses our body and mind. It rejuvenates our emotions and gives fresh outlook towards problems.

      I am also a coffee lover. But, I drink only in the morning that too my brand ‘BRAZILIAN COFFEE’ AND this is enough to feel the taste remaining for hours together. During night also I take coffee. If I sit to work I will be preparing it by myself and spend some time for relaxation, My peculiar habit is I do not get sleep till I complete the project that is taken up. As soon as I finish it I immediately go to bed and will get up sharp by 4.30. The day for me starts from 4.30 in the morning. Generally, I go to sleep at 1.30 or sometimes 2.00 in the night. But, it does not affect my sleep.

    • It is told that too much coffee increases the level of caffeine in blood. Caffeine is not good for sleep.
      However, it is mental too. Once one study was done on a group of people to check whether caffeine keeps us awake. For this is study, in a party milk and coffee were served to different people. Party continued till night. Those who were served milk felt sleepy and left early where as who had coffee stayed longer. So you think coffee keeps you awake?
      Well, the interesting part of the study is that, the caffeine in the coffee were extracted before serving and that same amount of caffeine was mixed to the milk.
      So it’s mental!

      • It could be mental also. Or maybe i just have a mind that doesn’t shut off easily. Sometimes i need to bore myself enough to actually fall asleep which is a bit hard. I always have something on my mind and i end up surfing the internet or playing a game. Then i end up staying awake even more time then i should.
