Why Army should use Social media

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on October 2, 2018 6

Why the Army should use Social media? Army chief General Bipin Rawat said

It can help fight insurgency,proxy war and terrorism in the country.(Source)

Social media is a virtual world. But it has a serious effect on-the real world. Its important for everyone who wants-to make a difference, to have a positive social media presence. Positive I am stressing because the opposite kind is happening. Army is an important part of India. The Army men and their family are much respected and loved. But the nature of the job is tough. Social media usage by Army thus needs a good strategy.

It’s not always a Hindi film ending and things get tricky. What is important to remember is they train and the plans are made by people with decades of experience. That’s why you must share the news about the great work Indian Army, Navy, and Airforce does to keep India safe. They are real heroes and you need to help spread the right public perception.

3 Reasons, why the Army don’t do, tell-alls

It’s a national security issue, not a Hindi Movie. Even afterward they can’t reveal details for obvious reasons.
They are busy saving the country and keeping us safe.
There are better uses of tax payers money than spending on social promotion. But now its much needed.

Times have changed. Terrorist outfits do more social media backdoor campaigns, than you and I can even imagine. Their target is young gullible minds who are often misled. This is where Indian Army and defense forces can turn the tables.

How will Social media help army?

It can help fight:

Fake news
Misinformation and disinformation.
Negative propaganda.
Promote positive understanding of events.
No fake sense of goodwill towards country’s which do not have India’s best interest at heart.

I plan to do my part. How do you think the Indian Army can use social media effectively?

#Monday Mommy Moments 2017 week 2

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on October 1, 2018 13

#MondayMommyMoments was a sudden decision.But it was one of my 2016 blessings.

The prompt this week is heartbreaking.

I didn’t really want to write this.I studiously avoided all twitter discussions on this topic.
Focusing instead on praying for the girl.
That’s my way of coping with terrible events which defy understanding.

Which makes me feel powerless.
But then Deepa suggested we make this our #MondayMommyMoments voice for this week .

I knew what #MMM needed to do.

The viral video ,the social media outrage, the thoughtless comments all made me unbelievably upset.

I am a working mom.I am a doctor .Horror of horrors I have night duties.
The first winter I spent at the place of my posting I had to sit in the ward masters office for 2 hours at 2am at night ,for the hospital car to take me home .It was a chilly winter night .

I knew no one at the hospital and my hubby was alone at home with my 11 month old baby.

When the driver did turn up ,his body language didn’t inspire confidence.
Luckily I had company while being dropped off in the hospital car.But my relief was short-lived.
The driver said ,he will drop off the male doctor first ,leaving me at a loss of words .In total panic I wished my male colleague would speak up. He being as much a stranger as the driver ,I still expected a common courtesy.
After all it was 2am .And I was a female .
I was in for a shock.
Not a word from the unchivalrous ,thoughtless person.
The 10 minutes to my home after he was dropped off, was the scariest I have ever felt.
I came back home.
Couldn’t sleep .Terror struck that I may have to go again.
End result .My hubby got a reliable driver who takes me to and fro when I have night duties.

I run.So that I can run away from need be.

I lift weights .So that my punches have strength and lone assailants don’t have it easy.
I pray .
I pray that men remember they are born from a woman’s womb.
I pray that men remember they will cease to exist, if we don’t become moms .
I pray that little boys who sleep in their mother’s lap, remember to respect women.All women.
I pray that mom’s teach their little girls to be strong.
Strong physically and emotionally.
To support and help other women.Be strong for their own self.

To fight back.
Men who think women are weak are fools.
Men who don’t respect women will pay the price.
Men who try to degrade a woman’s body and soul should be given exemplary punishment.
Nothing gives you the right to harm another human.

Women stay strong .If we want the change .We have to be the change.

If things don’t change ,let us make the change.Let us make this world safer for our sisters and daughters.

I don’t know how we can do it.But the first step is to not let people forget.

Not let them pretend it’s just another stray incident ,because the girl was foolish.

Not let them judge us .

Not let those person dare to do this again.

No one should dare harm another human .

Writing this was tough.

This week #MondayMommyMoments is special we have several fun stuff lined up.

Books as Gifts:Secret behind Blogchatter challenges

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on September 25, 2018 0

I made two of my books free in this last week of #MyFriendAlexa challenge. I also decided to launch my blogging in India books, as a special Pre-Pujo Gift bundle now! There are two reasons behind it. But number one is also the secret behind Blogchatter Challenges.

September means MyFriendAlexa, Durga Pujo and all things gifts and fun. What better way to celebrate than gift my books?If you are a book lover or know someone who loves books or blogging or both share this post with them. I guarantee they will be happy.

Now comes the secret info I promised you.

Why should you do a Blogchatter Challenge?

If you are doing Blogchatter challenge for the first time, or had to leave in between or missed signing up this time, I will make it simple. Blogchatter is a unique platform which gives a shoutout to bloggers the right way. Even if it happens once, it’s special. It’s worth your effort to be given the spotlight in front of the audience who knows what blogs are! This challenge is a study of human nature, as well as an educational and social experiment.

The numbers are just the tip of the icebergs. The journey with #MyFriendAlexa is a way of testing your persistence. Can you do it? I did it three times in a row. Did I ace it? Not entirely. Will I do it again? Definitely!

[bctt tweet=”I did #MyFriendAlexa three times in a row. Can you do it?#Healthwealthbridge @blogchatter” username=”misra_amrita”]

There’s a reason I wrote a book about Blogchatter challenges. The reason is, they work!

Blogging challenges are not life, but the dynamics are similar. You never ever get, what you give. You may get more or less but its always an experience. You can learn from it, or not.But if you do things at your own pace, without expectations, things have a way of working out. It did for me.

That’s why today I made two of my books free and two more is on a special promo bundle. If you already have the books you can gift them to those you care about.I owe a lot to these challenges and this is my way of giving back!

Two Books Free!

Fruits for Life: Nutrition secrets your doctor won’t tell download now!

A healthy life starts early. It starts with what your mother ate when she was pregnant. It depends on what you ate as a child. It depends on your parent’s food habits and your habits in early childhood. As a mother and a doctor, I have always felt the most difficult part of parenting is this trick of needing to walk the talk.T hat’s why my books Fruits for Life and Picky eater are both close to my heart.

Both the books were written during my stint with Blogchatter Ebooks last year.

Fruits are nature’s desserts, full of natural vitamins and minerals. The right amount of fruits in your diet will help you and your family live healthier. You know fruits are good for your health. But which fruit, when and in what amount?

Are apples good for you? Are apples good for weight loss?
Why should women have cranberries?
Is Guava a superfruit? How safe is Lychee?
Orange or Capsicum? Which of these have more Vitamin C?
What are the hidden benefits of Prune? Vanilla pod, extract or essence?

If you want to know all about this click to Download my book. It’s free for a very limited period. You can also gift it to a friend or a family member. Just forward the link to them.

PICKY EATERS?: Quick Guide to make you Happy (Nutritional Secrets Book 2)

The book Picky eater was written by me but largely edited and researched by my Paediatrician hubby. That’s one topic about which all moms have a lot of queries. This quick handbook solves a lot of your queries.

Did you know what you eat during pregnancy can change the eating habits of your unknown child?
Do you know why you should avoid foods which cause allergies?
If all these questions make you worried or you know someone who has a toddler at home gift them this book. Read what my audience says about these books here.

Google’s Blog Compass Vs WordPress App

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on September 22, 2018 28

Update: Google’s Blog compass was rolled back in July 2019 and is no longer active . WordPress app, however, is still going strong

Google’s Blog Compass was launched with an eye to Indian Bloggers.

Many of us at Indiblogger(another site which is now on its last legs), got a chance to beta test its usability and give our feedback. While testing new apps is a lot of fun, this was extra special. It was Google and an app for Blogging! Whatever I have learned as a blogger, it’s because of Google. The books to read, blogs to follow and people to learn from, were suggested by Google. It was a pleasure trying out the app, in various stages of its development.

I downloaded the final version and after using it for the last ten days, I am writing Google’s Blog Compass Review.

Unfortunately, Google has stopped updating this app and its no longer functional.

7 Reasons I loved Blog Compass App:

1)It currently has an Android-only version. Obviously! Google has the exact data about how many people use Android and iPhones.So optimize for Android users. Extra tips that make you feel special.

2)You need to be a WordPress or Blogger user. Covers more than 90 percent of blogs.

3)You need to install Jetpack. This helps WordPress get your stats in place. Jetpack and Blog compass, share data and you can check the most important data points. Blog compass gets data from Google Analytics and Search console to give you at your fingertips:

Page views
Traffic numbers
Traffic source
Demographic data

4) Blog compass has encouraging badges to unlock, as you publish a specific number of blog posts and have a higher number of Blog visitors. A nice feature for social sharing. Encouragement is always appreciated.

5) You can easily approve comments, just like on the WordPress app without signing into your blog backend.

6)You can find trending topics in the categories of your interest with search volumes! This is gold as it also gives you long-tail keyword target. All this without leaving the app!

7)You have an amazing database of education.Google tells you exactly what you should know about managing your blog.Don’t miss this treasure trove of knowledge.While Google blog articles were always available,this education hub is streamlined to make sense of the chaos.Plus you know this is the real thing.No beating about the bush.

Only one problem:You actually have to read it. Just having it on your phone, will not make you a pro-blogger.

Google's Blog Compass — Google’s Blog Compass:How it looks

Comparison with WordPress app

The WordPress reader option is a boon. Google Blog compass currently has no option to discover new blogs.You are alone inside the user interface.The community factor if included will be excellent. But this app I feel is targetted for charting blog growth with numbers.This is crucial for making blogs financially free. But how helpful it is ,only your work and time will tell.
The Blog compass does not let you write or publish posts using the app, which the WordPress app does. But honestly, I have faced problems with the bulky WP app too, which allows scheduling and then the post doesn’t get published.It’s a horror for busy bloggers who are traveling a lot.
No education hub for Bloggers in WP app. Google scores here.Can you imagine something better,than ths Google people teaching you?
The keyword and category options is very good as a starting point, especially for new bloggers. No such feature with WordPress app.Google’s Blog Compass scores again!
Both the WP app and Blog compass celebrates blogging milestones.

Serious pros for Serious Bloggers:

It’s a one-stop App for stats, especially when you are traveling, need to get your stats for brands, P R or just to check the backend stuff. It’s easy to approve comments on the go too.

The one thing you still need:

Ability to write and publish a blog post from the app itself, but with better features than WP. Maybe they will join hands and make blogging truly mobile!

Final Verdict:

A must download the app if you like blogging on the go. It’s handy, educational,easy to use,motivational and trying to teach bloggers the right things to focus on. When Google gives you a gift, it’s bound to be amazing.

Blogging changes each year, keeping up is important. Even now WordPress App survives,that’s good enough reason for it to be the winner.
