Back from a Break

So the inundated fact about staying home and experiencing life is like a volume of archetypal hierarchy. There is a constant experience when you are alone and mostly less interaction with people around. Due to COVID 19, our quality and quantitative socialising have dropped considerably with people no matter good or bad. Now we can only speak or talk to them on consistent or inconsistent phone calls, Skype, Zoom, Google talks, Teams. The list is endless. A minute millimetre of something has totally swayed the human race like no other. They say our future lies in the choices we make in the present. So I proactively took this and used the quality time to engage myself in all kinds of online activities and experience what I missed during the days when I was just working a 9-6 job. It was a totally new kind of dimension now. I just kind of experience a new kind of living amidst the pandemic situation. In a way, I thoroughly enjoyed the kind of online courses I got enrolled in at Coursera. This particular website has all the answers for a productive mind.

If you feel bored and lonely and confused about personal and professional issues, improvise your skill. Enrol on a new course and experience the difference. Your time will be so much occupied and above all one won’t have time to worry about anything, and the best part is there are several free courses available at Coursera. If you do not want any certificate and just improvising a skill, you can simply enrol for a free course. It is a great way to engage oneself in something productive,

The next option to get occupied during the COVID19 stay home is to enrol in some yoga programs. The best offered, in my knowledge, is the Inner Engineering program by the Isha Foundation. Click on the link and brace yourself with more details and information. After the Inner Engineering program, one can enrol to complete the IE completion program, known as the Sambhavi Mahamudra. To understand more about meditation and how it really affects our body, I came across this site where there have been relevant details about all the necessary information that one keeps on asking about the effects and experiences with the kriyas and meditation.

Meditation itself is a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness and achieve a mentally clear, emotionally calm, and stable state.

I would experience all kinds of kriyas, and also the fruits of the kriyas and asanas are totally how one perceives and reciprocates to it.

That being said, it’s time for me to end my blog by saying stay safe, friends and enjoy your home alone or with people proactively, and don’t forget to get vaccinated.

The Vaccine Draft :)

Hello Friends,

I was gone for a while, as I had some full swing online courses going on with Coursera and finally some ounce of solitary laziness with all fresco of emotional condiments of quagmire impossible excuses. I am a lazy doughnut that keeps on being laid back once in a while. But I was also in the process of thinking and analysing about the most important element that has shaken mankind to the brim. Yes, you got it right, our existence notifier, “Corona Virus”, so when I finally wanted to get vaccinated, I made some mental notes.

The first is the pros and cons of the vaccine, which is Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.

General Information

Name: BNT162b2

Manufacturer: Pfizer, Inc., and BioNTech

Type of Vaccine: mRNA

Number of Shots: 2 shots, 21 days apart

How Given: Shot in the muscle of the upper arm

Does NOT Contain: Eggs, preservatives, latex, metals

According to the data from the web, this is the information which I found from the web.

Description	Pfizer-BioNTech (mRNA)	Moderna (mRNA)	Janssen (viral vector)
Active ingredient	Nucleoside-modified mRNA encoding the viral spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2	Nucleoside-modified mRNA encoding the viral spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2	Recombinant, replication-incompetent Ad26 vector, encoding a stabilized variant of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) protein

Cholesterol	Cholesterol	Citric acid monohydrate
(4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane-6,1-diyl)bis(2-hexyldecanoate)	SM-102: heptadecan-9-yl 8-((2-hydroxyethyl) (6-oxo-6-(undecyloxy) hexyl) amino) octanoate	Trisodium citrate dihydrate
Sodium chloride	Tromethamine	Sodium chloride
Monobasic potassium phosphate	Tromethamine hydrochloride	Ethanol
Potassium chloride	Acetic acid
Dibasic sodium phosphate dihydrate	Sodium acetate

Ref: Vaccine Info

* None of the vaccines contain eggs, gelatin, latex, or preservatives. In addition, all COVID-19 vaccines are free from metals such as iron, nickel, cobalt, lithium, rare earth alloys or any manufactured products such as microelectronics, electrodes, carbon nanotubes, or nanowire semiconductors.
Note: Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines contain polyethylene glycol (PEG). PEG is a primary ingredient in osmotic laxatives and oral bowel preparations for colonoscopy procedures, an inactive ingredient or excipient in many medications, and is used in “pegylation” to improve the therapeutic activity of some medications (including certain chemotherapeutics). Also, cross-reactive hypersensitivity between PEG and polysorbates (an excipient in some vaccines and other therapeutic agents) can occur.

I think every person react differently to the vaccine. I was a bit nervous and anxious and wondered what impact it might lead on me. After seeing some of my friends and hearing so much from different people from various walks of life, I decided to share my personal thoughts on the same. Like it or not, it’s just like a safety net, and we have no choice. It’s a support, but I felt for some time after the dose was a bit drowsy and feverish. Above all, my hand was painful. Although the fever subsided after 2-3 hours, the weird, funny sensation was there. I don’t know which terms to use here. But it’s always good to go, like better late than never.

People stay safe and get vaccinated.

Wear your mask

The Hard Copy

Hard Copy II

There is this continuous game of life with money, technology and phobia.

“Yes, you got that right. I am not talking in the abstract messages, and it is with the fact. Let us take up an incident that has shaken the world in leaps and bounds Covid19.

COVID 19 ( Most unexpected pandemic)

Fact Sheet: A virus that officially generated took shape in a place called Wuhan in China. People identified it as the “Wuhan Virus.” It is something like some AI scenario, where a person is infected not from a common ailment or animals, but people. But did we ever expected that something with such atrocity will shape our lives to the fullest. In a fraction of seconds virus spread and deaths occurred. It just was something which we understood that we are mortal and we will die. This pandemic has showed us and maybe have taught us one grave lesson that all of us must take it to our graves, and that hard reality is ‘ Man is Mortal ‘

It is an essential aspect of life where we are assigned new dimensions and thought processes, but it doesn’t work as we are, mostly subjected to our designed pitfalls, just like debts. You see when you are aware that you can’t repay your interest for a new car or a bike. That whichever pretty thing has caught your attention, you go ahead with this presumption of getting it. Through some instant loans available in the bank, you forget that it’s a time centric pleasure.

You realise that if you experience some harsh realities, maybe an accident or something worse, reduction or lack of funds in your account that you did not calculate and decided upon correctly.

Covid 19 is like a brutal checklist for the first-hand realisation that we have experienced too early and have understood the deep meaning of what life is all those hard-earned degrees and scores. The uncertainties of ‘yes’ and ‘no.’ don’t make any sense actually with the current mortal combats happening worldwide. We must safeguard ourselves consciously and experience what life has to offer.

All those Harvard degrees are futile now cause we must take care of our health and longevity and not worry about degrees and social gatherings.

The aspect of life and everything one has read from all these make belief worlds is genuinely chaotic.

How can you discover a new life and a new living during these challenging times is a question. I am not here to guide you with a life’s lesson plan, but I can give you one free piece of advice.

” Follow hygiene (SOPS) and live in this moment.”

( NOW) (NOW) (NOW ) that should be the mantra.

Friends, I just completed my Inner Engineering, and it just worked wonders for me. I will post my next blog with some details and share some of my insights to those wondering what it is?

If you want to experience the now of your life with the ability to respond consciously, then you would be just fine. Live in this moment. This moment won’t come back tomorrow, and if you don’t understand the difference you need to get it sooner or else you have to reach through variations that life will offer.

I will write more and explore some new finance related concerns with you all who once a while reads my free thoughts 🙂

The Hard Copy

The Hard Copy 1

Life is an amalgam of happenings and incidents. One can’t diagnose or devise the fundamentals of living unless one has understood a straightforward fact to live life consciously. It is a wake-up call for some who want to experiment some more time dribbling on the field of experiences with the ball of life. You have it, and you don’t know in which direction to strike it?

So you decide to let it loose and experiment with it, or experience and understand it with some simple mindful efforts.

I want to share some facts which will work as a cheat sheet

when you wonder about drinking your latte or liquor. Sometimes keep aside that delusion cup that is the root cause of all your hidden troubles.

Think about the best things you can try doing with your life. Well, some love taking risks with food, lifestyle and preferences. What kind of life would you desire to experience or have? What is that critical thing that keeps you focussed yet not even near to it?

Accept and acknowledge things that are not suitable to you, don’t override a problem with desires. Example ( a heated argument with your colleague or boss doesn’t make you eligible to discuss or opinionate with others about his/her drawbacks.) Try settling communication issues at work with diplomacy and not through third-party communications.It doesn’t help at all. Instead, it can craft a massive void in your future career prospects. Personal agitations, confrontations and emotional clutter can lead to unnecessary trouble and significant damage to your career graph.

√ Finance health will not suffer in the long run if one is incapable of addressing things with logic.

Your career and finance will be at stake in a period of emotional crisis or an accidental mood swing. Your boss or anyone who heard or overheard you technically is in the safer zone. Emotional IQ and finance get along well with each other if appropriately managed.Performance and long term goals are something each and everyone strategically plans. There is substantial evidence that emotional IQ can correlate with essential personality traits.Studies have examined the multivariate effects of personality and intelligence on EI and also attempted to correct estimates for measurement error. Consider your EI as a skill, a tool that will technically help and assist you for a future financial prospect. One wrong move can destroy not only your career but also your life.

To be cont.

Money doesn’t grow on trees!! – says who??

Money doesn’t grow on trees – says who, says me moneyplant ( pothos )

This new thing is a super-hyped social stigma and somewhat an elite fashion statement for the urban dweller be it from the west, collecting exorbitant plants and filling every blessed corner of your house or apartment you live or reside or their homes.
I think when someone likes to languish and flaunt on their plant collection with a chicken from their Newyork home, who won’t fall for it?

Sounds natural, and with the blessing of youtube, one gets to see it live. To keep things more naturally, one can always enjoy this on a balcony or any space with some spaced out and minimal kind of decor. Let us say if you keep ten plants inside your bedroom of which one of them might have been infected with spider mites, which is quite common for indoor gardening, as the circulation of air is less so the moisture content of the soil might get moister. If this is not taken care of at the right time, it will get into several serious problems.

Sometimes we must think about the risk involved with products or living things, and if I am not wrong, to date, not a single garden centre has sold plants with a guarantee card that this plant will not be infected with any disease or it won’t die. The latest plant collection of the Philodendrons and Anthuriums and the Alocasia, and the list is endless.

I wonder what will happen with all these plants and who will take care of yourself if you are not an experienced plant person, pay your bills, rent, and the list goes on???

I am sure you must have heard of World Farm, in Singapore, and the most fantastic thing about this country is the way they have decorated every location with the right kind of plants, and the varieties of species ranging from philodendrons to orchids are so unique, and simply beautiful, that how much time one spend in some garden centres, well one can have some time to go to these garden centres once a while to buy their plants they really have been trying to get for quite some time.

I mean one must understand the difference between a garden centre and someone’s home.

Imagine for one moment someone would have filled malls and entryways with lots of plants. Would it really look pleasant, or just an uplifting space with few plants would attract attention and redefine the decor nicely. It is not at all a bad idea to buy plants, but one thing one must remember before you buy your next plant pot, maybe some new yorker is benefitting from your online enrollment of how to make plants love you, but can anyone vouch on the fact that plants will make you wealthy unless you start selling them or have your own plant store 🙂

I am not against I am not against plants or anyone who does enjoy plants and anything related to nature and similar things, but my dear friends, if you get a dreadful infection from one of these plants or your pet does, I am sorry to make this dreadful. The factual statement, these plants won’t save you from those huge endless medical expenses. There are quite a few plants that’s not pet friendly at all. Sometimes I wonder, people have so much money to buy these exorbitant plants, instead for a month do not buy a plant, instead sharethemeal.

A great way to save some quality effort, is in a great way to enhance your life and help those who are really in need of what you can’t acquire by buying that gigantic monstera or palm tree. There is so much poverty around the world, and one act of kindness will definitely bring a significant change in those lives you will try to help and those who will be benefitted.

I do not buy plants to decor my house. In fact, the plants I carry are evenly spread without much fuss. To end things on a lighter note, you need to see this plant video on YouTube.

When that NON-PLANT FRIEND visits my tropical garden.

Good Night 🙂
