Why it's important to balance work from home for healthy life:

- To All who are working from Home,

(published as received)

I want to share one bad experience of my friend's friend who was working from home.

He started working from home in march like all of us, due to team member's network issues, unavailability of laptops There was heavy workload on him, he used to work for 12-13 hrs, multiple calls, meetings, Lunch/breakfast along with work. After one month his right leg got slight swelling, he went to general physician.after few more days he started facing little difficulty while breathing. Considering this is normal, he ignored n continued to work as usual 12-13 hrs.

One day he suddenly collapsed and fainted, became unconscious for almost five minutes. His wife along with society members gave him first aid to gain consciousness. He immediately admitted hospital n moved to ICU for three days. Obviously covid test done for him, fortunately it was negative. Few more blood tests were done. Blood clots found in his legs. Doctor said prolonged sitting led to formation of blood clots in legs, once clots forms they can travel to lungs, one od the reason for his breathing issue.

He took leave for one month. He called me shared this experience and told me that this incident changed him completely about his views towards life, work and how important health is.

Your health should be of the utmost importance and at the top of your priority list. When your health is not in good condition, every other aspect of your life suffers.

So many of us working like this ingoring body singnal. I just want to request you all to avoid sitting for long hours continuously, take 5-10 min break after every 2 hrs, take small walk. Avoid work from bed, sofa, maintain proper posture, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day.

Just wanted to share this with you all, as most of people currently working from home. Please please avoid sitting for long hours without taking breaks.

share this message with all your friends who are WFH.

Tokyo Olympics, two sportsmen makes us realise true meaning of joy:

The scene is the final of men's high jump at the Tokyo Olympics. Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi was facing Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim in the final. Both of them jumped 2.37 meters and were on par ! Olympic officials gave three more attempts to each of them, but they were unable to reach more than 2.37 meters. One more attempt was given to two both of them, but Tampberi withdrew from the last attempt due to a serious leg injury. The moment when there was no other opponent in front of Barshim, the moment when he could have easily approached the gold alone ! But Barshim asked the official "if the gold can be shared between the two of us if I withdraw from the final attempt ?" The official checks and confirms and says "yes then the gold will be shared between the two of you". Barshim then had nothing to think about, announces withdrawal from the last attempt. Seeing this, the Italian opponent Tamberi ran and hugged Barshim and screamed ! What we sa...

How 'work from home' might be blocking innovation:

- Just imagine you are at office in a tough client conversation and suddenly your colleague gets you up for a Chikmagalur taste coffee. On colleague's request you go and sit for a while at cafeteria ☕. Suddenly you get emotional 😔 😭 and start sharing the context of email ✉️ you are about to write for this client. Your colleague starts listening 👂 and shares a creative and crazy 🤣 approach which exactly 💯 worked for you to handle that situation. Do you feel this support and innovative ideas 💡 discussion so possible at work from home? Currently people are of sense that technology is helping to facilitate work from home. At the same time technology cannot give you that human support and feel as you can get being with a large team. Brainstorming 🧠 sessions, casual chats 😎 by the watercooler and spontaneous meetings can all spark new ideas. Remote work can limit these interactions, hindering the exchange of ideas and the formation of creative bonds betwe...

Imp Teenagers and underlying challenges of current generation:

- Teens naturally experience stronger urges and have less ability to delay gratification compared to adults. A teenager is someone who is between 13 and 19 years old. There is a continuous socioemotional development happening among teenagers. Puberty brings a surge of hormones that can lead to intense emotions and risky behavior. Teenagers are also grappling with social pressures, identity formation, and desires for independence, which can lead to impulsive choices. Some teenagers experience strong feelings and attraction towards the opposite gender. Unfortunately, this can lead to unhealthy or harmful relationships. Some young people may misinterpret exploitation as love, resulting in painful experiences. These experiences can have long-lasting emotional consequences, including feelings of guilt and depression. Compared to adults teenagers have lesser self control, they might get into unnecessary and undesirable commitment with opposite gender. Thus parents and guardians should m...

Open the taps of giving. And you'll open the floodgates to happiness.

- I had heard of *Dead Sea* in school. No one ever told me this side of the story. You may find it interesting. *A tale of Two Seas!!* As you probably recall, the Dead Sea is really a Lake, not a sea. It’s so high in salt content that the human body can float easily. You can almost lie down and read a book! The salt in the Dead Sea is as high as *35%* - almost *10 times* the normal ocean water. And all that saltiness has meant that there is no life at all in the Dead Sea. No fish. No vegetation. No sea animals. Nothing lives in the Dead Sea. And hence the name: Dead Sea. The other Sea is the *Sea of Galilee.* Turns out that the Sea of Galilee is just north of the Dead Sea. Both the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea receive their water from river Jordan. And yet, they are very, very different. Unlike the Dead Sea, the *Sea of Galilee* is pretty, resplendent with rich, colorful marine life. There are lots of plants. And lots of fish too. In fact, the Sea of Galilee is hom...

Doing what's right builds confidence:

- Doing what's right keeps your conscience satisfied. And this builds self-confidence. When we do what is known to be wrong, two negative things happen. First, we feel guilt and this guilt eats away confidence. Second, other people sooner or later find out and lose confidence in us.

The spark of understanding:

- "Misunderstood" Words unsaid and Words unspoken Lead to paths, Where hearts are broken. A glance misread, A tone misheard, And love is lost, in a sea of word. In the silence, we search for clues, To unravel the tangled threads of our views. But like ships passing, in the dark of night, We miss the signals, that could ignite. The spark of understanding, that we need, To bridge the gap, and plant a seed, Of empathy and kindness, that can grow, And help us see, through the eyes of another's soul. But still we try, to find our way, Through the maze of misunderstandings each day. And hope that someday, we'll find the key, To unlock the hearts, and set love free. Source: WhatsApp message

Life becomes sweeter when we understand the power of adding some Empathy, care, kindness and forgiveness”:

*Raita* _*Adding Extra Curd*_ On a Sunday afternoon a family gathered over the Lunch table to have their favourite Mutton Biriyani, Wife was serving the food to both her Son and her Husband. After the food was served, husband tasted the Biriyani along with Raita and starting yelling at his wife for adding More salt in Raita. She opened the refrigerator and added some curd to it, and she served it again, after tasting it the husband said “You should have done it properly and checked it before serving it to us, because of the extra salt, you have spoilt my mood of eating Biriyani” After some time, the son and the father completed their lunch and wife served herself and completed her lunch, while she was washing the vessels, son came to meet her and he saw his mother with tears in her eyes, when he inquired why she was crying, she just wiped her tears and said “ nothing” and asked him what he wants, he asked for some money, and she told him to take it from her purse. After some y...

Success does not happen by accident. It is forged in the furnace of undistracted dedication:

- *It Is Only Laser Focus on One Project to the Exclusion of All Else That Permits the Breakthrough and Ensures Success* - Success does not happen by accident. It is forged in the furnace of undistracted dedication. In a world that constantly demands our attention from every direction, only those who can silence the noise and channel their energy into one single, focused effort will ever reach the threshold of greatness. The human mind, though vast in potential, is inherently limited in its ability to divide attention meaningfully across multiple domains. We deceive ourselves when we say we can multitask, when in reality we only switch between tasks, each switch draining us of energy, clarity, and momentum. It is only laser focus—unwavering, undiluted, and uninterrupted—on a single project, to the exclusion of all else, that paves the path to profound breakthroughs. The Myth of Multitasking Many glorify the multitasker—the one who juggles five projects, ten meetings, and a hundred...

Sadly, men who haven’t grown up emotionally often struggle:

- We all have patterns, habits, ways of doing things that feel comfortable and familiar. But men who haven’t grown up emotionally often get stuck in these past patterns. - If you notice a man who seems oblivious to his own behavior and its impact on others, it could be a sign of emotional immaturity. - If you notice a man repeatedly falling into the same patterns, especially ones that cause problems or pain, it could be a sign of emotional immaturity. - This lack of empathy can make relationships challenging. It can lead to misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and a lack of emotional connection.
