KERALA FLOODS:Help Rehabilitate(Long term goals)

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 26, 2018 6

The Kerala floods are devastating. Man’s folly and nature’s fury, whatever it is, survival and rehabilitation need to be done. Last year West Bengal had terrible floods. Assam too was flooded, but the extent of flooding in Kerala this year was a horror story. A horror stories which has made the rich, poor and middle class homeless. Rehabilitation is a long time process.

The long-term challenges for Kerala flood rehabilitation will include:

How to make drinking water safe.
How to manage waste disposal.
Manage health, education and rebuilding infrastructure.
Rebuilding public infrastructure and private property is going to be a long process.

While you have all contributed to the best of your abilities, this is going to be an ongoing process. In order to help Kerala, your help will need to be there for the long run. But in this, we have another problem. A problem of insight, patience, and persistence. While the devastation happened almost at once, the rebuilding will take years. The charitable activities will need continuous goodwill and should not be mixed with negativity of any kind. In times of need, every rupee counts.

Writing a letter to the Universe:Does it work?

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 23, 2018 43

Writing a letter to the Universe: Does it work?

Once you write down exactly what you want and read it every day. You start to dream about it. This experiment I have been doing this since I was in the eighth standard. Does it work? Depends on what you want and how hard you can focus on it. The power of our minds and mindful focus on a single thought takes practice. But here goes.

Dear Universe

I am writing this letter because I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for all that you have given me.Thank you for the ability to be thankful, and for always remembering where I have come from and where I want to go.

Thank you for giving me a family who are my biggest treasure. and a friend for life.

A kind, understanding child, who makes me happy with her five-year-old wisdom.

Thank you for this ability to write away my tears. To write when I am happy, to write when I am angry. To write to teach and write to learn. Thank you, Universe for always guiding me with your light.

Thank you for this beautiful nature that surrounds me wherever I go.

Thank you for always protecting me.Thank you for giving me guardian angels to help me forever.

What I need help with are my wishes. Since I got over with the thank you, I need to tell you some things I need help with.

Dear Universe please help me deal with my anxiety, related to the mounting violence against doctors everywhere, especially in West Bengal. I am regretting the decision to come back. But then I think of my mom, who needs us at least in the same state. My daughter would be in the hands of strangers anywhere else.

Writing a letter to the Universe-Does it work- — *Writing a letter to the Universe-Does it works?*

So guide me dear Universe. Help me work on my expectations. Help me get rid of my tendency to expect people to be more than what they are. People can only give what they have. Unrealistic expectations help no one right?

Do remind me of this when people surprise me, with their lack of understanding of human nature and the circle of deeds. Please stop this violence and madness we see everywhere. Why do news channels harp on about murders and horrors? Why can’t they spread positive stories like We are the World Blog Fest.

Remember, whatever you focus upon, increases…When you focus on the things you need, you’ll find those needs increasing. If you concentrate your thoughts on what you don’t have, you will soon be concentrating on other things that you had forgotten you don’t have-and feel worse! If you set your mind on loss, you are more likely to lose…But a grateful perspective brings happiness and abundance into a person’s life.”
By Andy Andrews, The Noticer: Sometimes, All a Person Needs Is a Little Perspective

The universe does help me focus on the good and beautiful in my life.

Thank you, Universe for always being a good friend, a wise parent, and a wonderful teacher. I will write again soon. This was fun!

5 Steps for Daily Soul Care which Help #ThankfulThursdays

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 23, 2018 15

I get bored easily, my Achilles heel.

I need to learn something new, challenge my brain constantly, otherwise its mind-numbingly greyish brown brain sludge! Are you getting the picture? I have several ways to keep my brain happy and my soul singing. Today I will share five ways I practice daily soul care. Maybe it will help you too.

5 Steps for Daily Soul Care which Help

1)I wake up in the morning with a happy thought. Something to look forward too.Maybe an early afternoon off! Maybe a holiday to plan, or a good book coming from Amazon.

2)We always breakfast together as a family. The start of the day should have a protein-rich breakfast enjoyed together as a family.

3)Read a few pages of a good book. It may be fiction or nonfiction. Read a few blogs I have bookmarked .aScan the newspaper for important news

4)Drink water. Water helps you battle a lot of things. Then I water my plants while talking to them. I feel plants grow better when you talk to them. If you look at my balcony gardens you will understand that I talk a lot with them. They seem to like it.Dr.Jagadish Chandra Bose researching the ability of plants to understand sound happened years before but the modern man never uses this special power.

5)Doodle with my daughter in the afternoon or before bedtime. This is our unique bonding time. She draws and we both color or we both doddle and color. Its like we sync together when we do this.I love how this helps me understand her thoughts and see them take shape on paper.

Soulcare and self-care go hand in hand. Your health needs complete physical, mental and social well-being and not just the absence of disease. That’s why each person can be healthy if they just took care and kept their insight alive.

The biggest problem:

You forget to look inside. While blaming everything around, you forget to listen to your soul. Don’t be that person.

One thing I avoid

I avoid negative people whatever it takes. Ages before someone told me, how people behave and talk about others, shows more about them than the person they talk about. Gossip is not a good thing. The company makes you want to indulge and you have that feeling of wasting time. All my life I have tried to choose my company with care. If things have not worked out, I prefer to let it go. Its difficult for me, but the only thing which works. There seems to be no way to correct course, without hurting others. In situations like this words are difficult and some people enjoy the vitriol. I focus on what I want and skip the rest. I listen to my soul.

Whats your way of taking care of your soul? Do you listen to your soul? Comment below to let me know.

Goa Trip for Family:You really can’t miss this!

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 17, 2018 31

The best part about Goa is not the sea or the food.It is the people.

Looking for a family vacation?Not much running around.A safe happy place where kids can play and you can unwind?You also need good food and entertainment for kids.

Look no more.The beautiful beach in front of Dona Sylvia Goa was where we spent hours in the morning and evening.Golden sand, blue water, pleasant people and great food.What else do you need for a great holiday?Family vacations are your chance at making memories.Memories are the best way to make children learn the value of family.What you give them now will be their treasures forever.

The party mood at the Dona Sylvia Goa is contagious.With evening making an entry, the live music will get your foot tapping.Nothing is too difficult.The hospitality is outstanding.
The few days spent at the was relaxing and time well spent.

Goa in March was amazing.Pleasant mornings gradually becoming hotter, but still pleasant enough for frolicking in the pool.

What did I love about the resort best?

The beautiful green covering twenty acres.The hotel property opened out to a semi private clean beach. The hotel grounds had swaying palms and coconut trees.Gorgeous flowers,well-manicured lawns, and stunning vista wherever you look.Two or three hammocks tied to the palm trees gave the perfect opportunity for us to quickly take turns at it.

The hotel was entirely full, even in off season.But being so spacious the grounds never looked overcrowded.The only time we got an idea about the crowds, was during the bustling, meal times.

Plenty of families with kids in tow and the restaurant servers were more than happy to hustle of something special for the little one if she didn’ t like the elaborate buffet or wanted something else.

That’s the biggest plus for a family resort.That they will accommodate that children are children and will not make you feel bad for asking for weird things during busy meal times.

The location of the hotel :

It’s located at the Cavelossim beach near Margao.It is 1/2 km from the nearest railway station and 25 kms. from Goa’s International Airport, Dabolim.We took the Indigo flight (our favorite airline ) from Calcutta.

11:25 AM – 2:30 PM
Kolkata (CCU) – Goa (GOI)

The flight reached before time and we hoped to catch the buffet spread at the hotel. The pickup was arranged by the resort and we arrived within one hour.

The hunger pangs made us check in quickly and rush to the Sea gull.Their in house restaurant open on all sides with a gorgeous view of the aquamarine pool and swaying palms.Even though we were very late for lunch having Rai with us ensured we could get seated and start eating within a few minutes.Bliss!

We freshened up and strolled down the paved garden path to the beachfront to find a row of lounging chairs neatly arranged.

Glares: In place

Sun protection: Done I used the Neutrogena sunblock

Beach cover up over swimsuit : Done

Lipstick: In place

We were off to the beach.The next part of my Goa saga continues the next week in Part 2.Dodon’t forget to catch up

What I have learned after using these blogging resources

One blogging can earn you money three ways.The quick and easy.This way can get your blog blacklisted by Google even quicker and loses credibility

Best Blogging Resources to Help you Grow

My two favorite resources in the Genius bloggers toolkit are the Building a Framework by Abby Lawson of just a girl and her blog.Abby has been blogging since 2013 and is one of the most sincere and helpful bloggers around.

My number one reason for recommending Abby’s book?

You will be inspired if you are a mommy blogger, she will inspire you to stick it out, to keep on learning.As someone very wisely said,

[bctt tweet=”You are one step ahead of the person behind you.Lending a helping hand is always great karma.” username=”misra_amrita”]

“We only have what we give.”

You will be inspired, if you are jaded.She gives actionable tips to do it better .Tips on content, blog monetization, social media, blog hops, everything.The best part is, when she updates the book you get to learn all the new stuff she learned too.

While there’s a lot of talk about blogging and making money through it.It’s not easy.What’s worked for Abby may or may not work for you.But she is not selling you a pipe dream.It’s possible to make money online honestly doing what you love.

My second favorite resource is the Knowtbook.It’s an amazing tool.Practically a live online journal that Amylynn Andrews keeps.She curates the best there is online and gives you a glimpse of how things work online .if you have the diligence this resource is a game changer.

My next favorite blogging resource is Pat Flynn’s book Will it Fly.

The best part of this book is it will give you clarity about the content niche, the topic of books, courses products which you can create It’s not a step by step guide but a treasure map.Whether you will find the way will depend on how well you read the map.
