Back from a Break

…Unexpected trials of life

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

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

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

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.

The $$$$ Game

There is something evident about money-saving methods. One can understand the importance of it with time as one gets older and face situations. Life indeed is genuinely a great teacher, like some patron to understand the fundamental realities life offers. So much so that we do not understand its importance till we are in that situation called ‘life’.

Let us start with something that is around you, for example, a 1$ coin.

A lot of us have a collection of colorful mason jars. Today, before you go to bed or retire at night, make sure to bring out one of your mason jars unused and lying in one corner. Wash it nicely with warm water and salt. They say anything that is cleaned with salt gets free from negative vibes.
After cleaning with a dry cloth, set it somewhere near your table so that you can actually look at it and constantly add your 1$ coins in there. Make sure you do not remove any dime from the jar unless it is packed with coins. Try this simple method from today and see the difference by the jar’s time brimming with money. Honestly speaking, looks quite classy on the table and definitely creates a good chi.

So friends, what are you waiting for? Start your 1$ Savings Plan today.

So much for now, I will definitely come back with more ideas. Stay safe and protected, and do wear your mask.
