SEO :One truth you must know as a beginner!(#Mythbuster1)

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on September 1, 2018 41

I love blogging. The writing, tech part, almost everything! I enjoy social media too but less. My absolute favorite is Twitter, followed by Pinterest. But one thing I must tell you is, I adore SEO. But what is SEO? What’s to love? Search Engine Optimization is SEO in full form. It’s your way of cutting down on absolute overwhelm, with social sharing.

But what does it do?

Search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo are like traffic guide for web users.W hen you write something in the search bar of Google, the search engine spiders called bots, quickly scan all the indexed pages to find the most relevant information for you. It happens in nanoseconds.

Then how do you make your posts SEO friendly?

This is an endless topic and has many authorities talking on this. But I have made it easier for you in my book. The lessons are meant for all those who cannot afford the expensive plugins, courses and over-the top-of-the-head craziness which can make blogging less fun.

But you are a hobby blogger, right?

Oh, I get it, you are writing because you love it and want to share your joys with your readers, Nothing competitive! But my dear friend, if your readers don’t find you, how will they fall in love with what you write?

Did you understand the problem now!

The biggest myth about SEO

That it’s difficult!

#Mythbuster 1

SEO is cool, fun, necessary .just like sunshine is important for you, SEO is sunshine for your blog. You will have several artificial light sources, but without the sun, it’s not going t be the same.

The number one reason I keep learning about SEO are :

I want people to find my blog and read it. My medical posts are in-depth topic discussions and is my way of spreading #HealthforAll.Without SEO helping me I reach only a few people through social media.

But you are confused with all the information floating around right? Today in this first post I will tell you three truths you must remember if you are just starting your blog.

You must have a self-hosted blog. Otherwise, all your blog stats have little value.
Get a self-hosted blog if you like reading and writing.
Write for your audience with a human voice and dress up those blog posts with SEO makeup, if you want them to be read organically.
With social media like Facebook decreasing organic reach, if you don’t get your SEO game right , blogging may become more personal than even you bargained for

Top Secret tip in this series:

You, me and the blogger you admire, we all are beginners in our own ways. Don’t let the weird sounding words give you jitters. If you can write and read, SEO will be a cakewalk. Just remember the proof of the cake is in the eating and the proof of SEO is in how your blog performs!

How do you spend Christmas with your children :MondayMommyMoments

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 31, 2018 43

Growing up I studied at a convent school .Christmas was a big deal at school .

Raising money for Christmas events at the orphanage run by our missionary sisters ,were a part of our school activity.

It earned us extra credit .Also our teachers were strict about not letting parents give the money.

Rather they wanted us to learn the secret of asking people for money and getting it with a smile.

That was my first exposure at working for a cause.

When I tell my daughter about Christmas I try to teach her about this part of Christmas .

About Jesus.How he loved people

How he gave up his life still caring about others.

When we think about others and care for each other ,life becomes more beautiful.

But my daughter is 4 .So all this often leaves her looking wide-eyed at me.

She ends my stories with a hug and plenty of kisses .Telling me she loves me and her father and her granny and Mimi (my little sister ) and all her friends.

Caring about people you don’t know is a concept that’s alien to most .So no wonder a child looks confused.

That’s one thing I want to teach my little girl .

When I started my blog I had one major goal.

I wanted people to embrace a healthy lifestyle while enjoying life.

Now healthy life is impossible if we don’t eat healthy.

That’s why I absolutely love baking cookies with a healthy twist .

Baking with Rai is fun.We have a competition Who can lick the bowl faster!

They are great for her school Tiffin and afternoon snacking.

Plus I got this great idea of gifting friends home-made cookies from Divya.

It’s fun and pocket friendly .

Baking at home and Christmas go hand in hand.

Another thing I absolutely love is decorating the Christmas tree with Rai.

I have a potted fern which we decorate with ornaments that we buy and some that we make.

Love making Christmas garlands to deck up the home.

We are waiting for this little tree to grow up. She's small ,but cute and leafy,waiting eagerly for us to deck her up — We are waiting for this little tree to grow up. She’s small ,but cute and leafy,waiting eagerly for us to deck her up

Christmas is also a time to remember about persistence. About perseverance. About doing things because they are right It’s about family and friends. It’s about selflessness.

It’s about giving .It’s about remembering that giving is always difficult .But receiving may be even more of a problem.

When you give be open to receiving, because for both you need to be ready .

Have a fantastic Christmas and keep shining.

Love yourself because you are a fabulous mommy and those little eyes are looking at you.

It’s Never Too Late to Believe in Yourself

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 31, 2018 26

When is it too late? When is it too late, to do what you want?We all have 86,400 seconds in a day.Nothing more or less .What you do with it makes all the difference in the world.

I feel it’s never too late to Learn

Learn from others experience.Learn from reading books.

Learn by doing every day. Discipline and habit are wonderful teachers.

Learn by writing.Writing down your thoughts are like self-spring cleaning. You end up writing that, which wants to come out. Difficult to hide true nature.

Travel

Travel everywhere and anywhere.

For two days or two years. For pleasure or for learning.With friends or family or alone.But travel you must.Travel is important to understand how similar we all are.How difficult life is, how beautiful love is!

To be on twitter

An alive social media where I found all my blogging friends.

It's Never Too Late to Believe in Yourself — It’s Never Too Late to Believe in Yourself

I feel it’s never too late to help. It’s never too late for lending a helping hand. When you help, you start a karmic circle which will come around. You never know when you will need help. When you help, the universe keeps that in mind and you will get help when you need it.

Remember Dumbledore. He said,

Help will be given to those who ask!

That’s what happens in real-life too. It’s never too late to ask for help.

Love

It’s never too late to Love.Love truly makes the world more beautiful. It teaches you to think about another person, more than you think about yourself. When you do that, you will know its love.

Live better. It’s never too late to live a little healthier and live well. It’s never too late to live with love.

It’s never too late to teach. Teach what you learned. Because you may be just one step ahead and that makes all the difference to the one just behind you.

“Live the Life of Your Dreams
When you start living the life of your dreams, there will always be obstacles, doubters, mistakes and setbacks along the way. But with hard work, perseverance and self-belief there is no limit to what you can achieve.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

It’s never too late to make the world greener and cleaner. It’s never too late to plant trees.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.” Chinese Proverb

It’s Never Too Late to Believe in Yourself. Your choices make you who you are and how happy you will be. So choose wisely .‘

My 3 favorite Believe in yourself quotes:

“Believe in yourself. You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you imagine.”Roy T. Bennett.

“You may be the only person left who believes in you, but it’s enough.[bctt tweet=”It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness. Never give up. Richelle E. Goodrich,” username=”misra_amrita”]

Distance yourself from negative people who try to lower your motivation and decrease your ambition. Create space for positive people to come into your life. Surround yourself with positive people who believe in your dreams, encourage your ideas, support your ambitions, and bring out the best in you.” Roy Bennett

The Enchanted Woods: How It made me Believe in magic

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 31, 2018 23

What is your favorite book and what impact did it have on you? My favorite book forever is The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton. It belongs to The Faraway Tree series, all of which are amazing.

The Enchanted Wood
The Magic Faraway Tree
The Folk of the Faraway Tree
Up the Faraway Tree

Author Enid Blyton

The beauty of Enid Blyton’s books can be understood by all her fans. I am sure many of you have read these books. But for all those who haven’t, let me tell you about the Enchanted woods and its Faraway tree.

It is an enchanted forest with magical creatures and the Faraway Tree, the most magical tree in the forest. The tree is full of magical people. It grows different fruits, in different branches. A new magical land comes up on top of this tree, every few weeks. This tree made me a tree hugger!

If you remember stories you read twenty-five years back that story is special. I became a Doctor and I am a logic-driven person most of the time. But I still choose to believe real magic exists. You just have to believe with all your heart, for good things to happen. You must remember the earth is for all living beings and not just humans. That’s what the Enchanted woods taught me.

[bctt tweet=”You must remember the earth is for all living beings and not just humans. Lessons from The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton #Healthwealthbridge” username=”misra_amrita”]

How did the Magic Faraway tree impact me? How did it make me who I am today?

When I was a child some serious family matters meant I had two very distinct choices. I could listen to adults talk or daydream while reading my favorite books. The latter was my savior. Discovering this book I realized early that books are always full of magic. It’s like nuggets of wisdom, dreams, life lessons from times past distilled into the pages. Fiction or nonfiction the author’s life leaves an impression on the book and the reader. Enid Blyton left an indelible link.

The lessons I learned from reading and revising the Enchanted woods series

Believe in yourself.
Have faith
There is magic inside you and outside. You just need to keep your intuitions alive.
Be good. It works in amazing ways.
Be thankful and kind. It always comes back.
Life is like the Faraway tree. You find different lessons at different times of life. Learn from all of them. The good bad and ugly will all help you move up in life.
Never stop dreaming.T hey do come true.
The best life is the one you create, with the people you love.
If you wish really hard, they come true.

I still try to hear the leaves of trees and plants I pass by. Are they saying,

making a wish, a wish ,a wish

…just like the trees of the enchanted forest!

The Wisdom of God by A. W. Tozer:Book Review

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 30, 2018 0

The Wisdom of God by A. W. Tozer is not my typical reading material.But for some time I have tried the scope of my reading to spread beyond my comfort zone.

I was looking forward to an enlightening book about the wisdom of the Gods and the author doesn’t disappoint.

But it’s a book which has a definite readership and not for everyone.

The Pros :

If you are a devoutly religious person you will love this book.The author through his interpretations of various sermons and excerpts from scriptures guides you to a deeper understanding of what God wants and expects you to be.

He reflects on the deeper meanings and puts forward his understanding of how a good Christian should live.We are God’s children and following his path will help us live our life to the fullest.

This lesson is deeply ingrained in the book.

Though the thoughts are old they will still hold true for modern devotees of this faith.

My favorite quote from the book

Oh, heavenly father for too long I lived according to my own wisdom and found no rest or peace.Thy eternal wisdom has bought Thy peace into my life.Amen

The Cons :

Not for the non-religious and not for the casual reader.It’s heavy reading and in some parts repetitive.

My take from the book

The understanding of God’s will guides man’s path to a happy life.The man though intelligent learns only through his mistakes.The more you are aligned to what God wants from you, the less time you will spend searching in the dark for life’s true purpose.

About the Author:

A.W Tozer was a self-taught theologian, pastor and writer.he has written more than 40 books Though the sermons are from the 1960s they are still relevant for the modern believers of this faith.

Disclosure: I received a free copy from Bethany House publishers.The opinions are strictly mine.

Why Action Movies Like Commando 2 are Awesome!

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 30, 2018 67

In real life, I fight illness, not bad guys. But watching movies like this makes me wish one could bash up diseases as easily as Karanveer Singh Dogra deals with the baddies. Good, bad and ugly are more clearly demarcated in action movies and helps my brain declutter from relative answers. Sometimes I want simple right and wrong and not a list of differential diagnosis. Action movies help cut through the nonsense to fighting evil. Eternally popular.

There’s a lot to be said for the level of fitness these action stars must have. It’s never a one-time thing, but years of dedication with no cheat days. That kind of persistence is exemplary. Every time I watch Vidyut Jammwal I try to inspire my hubby to lift more weights. Sadly he refuses to be inspired to that level. But we do lift weights as a part of our fitness goals.

Vidyut Jammwal is the man to get on your team if you want to catch a bad guy. I like clean real life and reel heroes with strong moral codes and loving Mother India. No Jailbird hero for me. I choose my heroes with care. Also, I believe entertainment and movies need to spread the right message. Sometimes difficult, but heroes need to be heroes! The youth looks up to them!

I am sure everyone loves action, it gives us a good adrenaline rush with none of the danger of real-life action. I like the non-gory kinds with no skull bashing! Action movies have a fast pace which keeps my attention from wandering. I gave up watching romance a long time back. Real life romance is better!

If the hero is as believable in action scenes as Vidyut Jammwal, Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel and our Terminator man Arnold Schwarzenegger, what’s not to love?

Why Action Movies Like Commando 2 are Awesome!

Why I feel Commando 2 is Awesome!A brief story summary

Commando 2 takes off from where Commando 1 left. But then, travels to Thailand to catch Vicky Chadda this time. With ex-commando and encounter specialist, Karanveer Singh Dogra (Vidyut Jamwal) acing the action sequences is my reason for watching this movie.

Hindi action movies have few such men who can do believable stunts. You will enjoy if you are an action fan. The storyline is straight of India’s political drama. Black money being siphoned off by Vicky Chadda stationed in Thailand.

Indian businessmen are happy to let him hide their dirty cash. The team sanctioned by Home Minister of India (played by Shefali Shah) also has Bhavna Reddy (Adah Sharma) as a Telugu speaking encounter specialist from Vijayawada. The pro-government ACP Bakhtawar (Freddy Daruwala) leads the team. Also part of the team is a corrupt cop and ethical hacker Zafar Hussain. ‘Hawala’ con master Vicky (Thakur Anoop Singh) is the main antagonist who runs his hawala racket from the Malaysia-Thailand border.

Kalaripayattu like fight sequences in Commando 1 does carry over to Commando 2 too. Vidyut Jammwal is the man to watch for. The cat and mouse game to catch Vicky has unexpected twists and turns.

Will they catch him? Will they be betrayed? Will Vidyut Jammwal save the day? You will have to watch it in the spirit of Mission Impossible series to enjoy this action-packed entertainer. If you too are planning to check out Commando 2, you can watch this amazing action movie online on ZEE5.

Don’t judge me for my choice of movies. A woman can dream of bashing up bad guys right? Do you love Action movies? Let me know in the comments below.
