The ' Just In Time ' people

Somebody told me a story. Two people met at a railway station in the morning hours. Both were waiting for train. The train arrived. One looked at his watch and exclaimed. “Why is this train late by 30 seconds today?” The other was like ROFL. The first one continued “Sir, it is 30 seconds for you, it is 30seconds for me. But there are 2000 people in this train. Tell me how many hours of work did the country lose?” Sorry, I was trying to tell you something else. You have always met those people who reach Just in Time. They never arrive late they never reached early too. They are always on time. How do they manage to? Well, they manage their time in a better way.

5 golden rules for safe jogging this winter

Winter running has always been an awesome experience to me living in India. You cannot expect the best of climates round the year in a tropical country like India. I have always seen those fitness freaks around me wait for the winter; the season in which they can burn more calories and at the same time expending less sweat. Here I have something for you joggers who come out early in the morning. How dark is 5 am to you? It is equally dark and foggy for the driver who drives his car. It is difficult for him to find out that a two footed creature dressed in black is jogging down the lane. Hence comes our 5 golden rules Rule no. 1 –Be visible on the road. 1.        Make yourself visible by wearing reflective clothing/ atleast bright coloured clothes. 2.        You don’t know how sleepy the driver behind you is. Run opposite to the direction of traffic. You can see what is coming, even if what comes doesn’t see you. R...
