The time is now

These lockdown days are not meant to be spent cursing some country or some political leaders who have forced this lockdown on you. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

- Its your opportunity to upskill
As a professional, take up those most wanted certifications you have been keeping aside due to lack of time to spend on it.
- Its an opportunity to eat healthy
Eat healthy, work out at home and stay fit, increase your immunity levels.
- Nourish those hobbies you left with your childhood or teenage
Go through your old albums and videos. Read those books that have been lying idle in your book shelf for years.
- Nourish your relationships.
Call a friend today. Do a group call with your schoolmates, to your collegemates, to your colleagues in your previous jobs, give time to everyone who was important in life but lost in the whirlwind of your daily business.
- Your family time
If you are at home with all your favourite people around, be happy; because not all the people have the luxury to be with their family all these days. When was the last time you had some of such quality time with your family.
- Watch some news
Keep abreast with the current happenings around you. The world is fast changing. Some changes can impact your plans. Be aware of it.

🌍 Embracing Sustainable Living, One Step at a Time! 👣

Dear Community, I recently encountered a common yet often overlooked problem - the sole of my running shoes decided to part ways with me.  🙄  Rather than rushing to buy a new pair, I decided to take a small step towards sustainability and repair them with Fevicol shoe fix. (I could have run down to a good cobbler, but I didn’t know anyone nearby) This experience got me thinking about the simple ways we can contribute to a more sustainable future. It's not just about big eco-initiatives; small, individual acts matter too.   Sustainability isn't just about solar panels and electric cars; it's about reusing, repairing, and repurposing in our daily lives. In this fast-paced world, we often forget that the most eco-friendly product is the one we already own – for the production of which, raw materials were used, processed in factories, transported and displayed in a shop until it was bought for use. So the way in which we as an end user can contribute is by prolonging its lif...

Risk Factors in Landslide Disaster Emergency Rescue

In the wake of the horrible landslides in Wayanad district of Kerala, among other articles and news, I came across a write up by a disaster management expert from the United Nation. A portion of his article translates roughly to 'An area that met with a disaster requires people with special skills. Even if there are small things to do (like serving food), some experience is required; such as the presence of mind to deal with disasters when they are seen in person, and benevolent behavior towards those affected by the disaster comes from the experience handling such situations.' this inspired me to give a thought on the the delicasies and risks involved in the Emergency rescue. Watch the videos running on news channels - you will come to know that the emergency recue after a landslide is no child's play. Landslide disasters caused by heavy rainfall pose significant risks to both rescue teams and affected communities. Understanding these risks is crucial for ensuring the saf...

The Influence of Childhood Team Sports on Adult Behavior

Recently while on job, I had an opportunity to have an engaging conversation with a business leader. The late evening discussion then went off topic, maneuvered smoothly through the passionate field of behaviour sciences and delved then into some thought provoking questions on where it is leading to in the world being increasingly dominated by AI and ML. On a similar front, another fact that has triggered my curiosity is that organizations are working hard to find leaders who can adapt to changes and provide necessary answers by implementing all available leadership development programs. During the recent years, learning & development leaders have manifested an increasing interest in engaging personalities from the sports sector, proof of this is the increasing number of athletes and coaches who participate in leadership programs offering their insights and experiences transferable to the businesses. These intrigued me to do a slew of internet searches which led to reading a co...
