#Thankful Thursdays :5 Apps you are thankful for

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on May 25, 2018 18

I am an app addict.

I love android phones, because of the truly great selection of Google play store apps.
All the apps I use are free and have saved me countless hours of irritations.
The best part they make my phone my virtual best friend.

My phone and the apps :uses
It helps me blog anywhere
It helps me shop anywhere.
It helps me give virtual medical consultation anywhere.

This #ThankfulThursdays
when I started writing about my favourite apps I had a tough time narrowing it down.

Note taking app:Blogging BFF

Evernote is the undisputed favourite. Its a note taking free app with awesome search and organisation features.
The free plan lets you sync your account across two of your devices.That way you never lose your notes from one device to another.
Evernote also lets you share and collaborate notes among team members ,through their system .

Why I love Evernote
It has unlimited memory .
You can make unlimited folders/notebooks .
It has a sophisticated ,multiple keyword search feature .It also allows searching for keyword in articles ,if you have forgotten the title.
I have been using Evernote since 2013 and I absolutely love it.

Picmonkey Photo Editing app

You must have heard of Picmonkey tool for photo editing.
Did you know it also has a truly superb app?

This will help you make customized graphics for Instagram, twitter,Pinterest .
They have template options ,stickers,overlays ,text options to pretty up your blog graphics right from your phone.
I stumbled on this one about 5 months back and has made my life much easier.
At least my posts are not without their featured images!
Only negative:
If you have made a mistake and saved it then there are no undo button.You have to cancel,restart editing from scratch.Thats a bummer ! But the upside is you are more mindful.

Image2pdf

Planning on making a quick pdf to share with your blog readers ?
It was never easier .
Click images of your content and upload in this app.Then make it a Pdf .That’s how easy it is.
Only negatives :
The first page of your book should be clicked last. A little problem also while selecting the pics.

Mg favourite Shopping app
Snapdeal

I love the amazon site .But when it comes to the app somehow we never became friends.
I have spent many a happy hours filling up my shopping basket with the Snapdeal App.

Lybrate App

This one I use ,to give consultation online .
The best part there’s one for patients too.
The app let’s me store the chats I have with my patients and also their medical information.
It takes booking appointments, sending reminders and health info to my patients hassle free.

A Bonus app which I love :
The Kindle e-reader app .I love reading and ebooks are the best way to have your library with you, when you travel.

Xiaomi IPO What Entrepreneurs can Learn

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on May 25, 2018 4

What can you learn from the Xiomi IPO story? Do you believe in fairy tales? About finding jackpot full of gold under the mango tree ? If you don’t maybe you should start believing in fairy tales!

Xiomi has filed for a first public offering and the valuation is making people ecstatic. The listing may raise $10 billion. Fifty six Xiomi employees had pooled together eleven million to help support and invest in the startup. The employees who had believed in the vision of the founders will be rewarded now. Their smart work will make them rich now.

Today their stake is worth billions. The soon to be billionaires include a receptionist and early engineers
who believed. Interestingly the investment was limited at a moderate amount to prevent employees taking out high-risk loans to invest. This was an ethical move by the company.

9 Things Entrepreneurs can learn from the Xiomi IPO deal

Have a really good idea and be willing to put in the hard work.
Recruit sincere hardworking smart people who will be able to take calculated risks. For this, have them take a psychological assessment test. It helps to avoid unnecessary clashes.
Make employees stakeholders to a part of the company shares. It helps improve retention, loyalty and better quality of work. When people know they are no trading just money for hours but building for future they work harder.
Get support from like-minded friends families colleagues. Lower your risk margins.
Bootstrap, have a solid financial plan. Plus a backup plan B and C.
Market test your idea.yes we know brilliance can’t wait .but patience is a necessity in this game.
Take Government help.
Be honest .
Take care of health, wealth and wellness of employees.

Make something great and things will fall in place or at least you will have a super story to tell.

Foreign body food pipe(adults) :what you need to know

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on May 24, 2018 48

Accidentally swallowed a tooth , from your denture?You must read this post.A few days back I wrote about objects or foreign bodies which children accidentally swallow.

3 Foreign bodies which adults can have problem with are:

Fishbone
Chicken or offer animal meat bone
Dentures

The first one is the least scary .

The other two can be life threatening.

For fish bone and various meat bones :How does it happen ?

It can happen when you are eating unmindfully watching television

It can happen when you are eating in a hurry.

It can also happen if you swallow accidentally

Common in alcoholics who eat after binge drinking.

Dentures:When are they swallowed

If it’s loose and Ill fitting.
Specially single tooth.
If you forget to take them out at bedtime.

What to do?

Fish bone if visible, lots of people remove it at home.Foreign body throat is most common with fish bone and causes least problems.

But chicken and other animal meat bone is a difficult situation. Denture too can be life threatening

Visit your nearest hospital with ENT emergency.

What will happen once you visit the hospital ?

A doctor will listen to what happened .Check your oral cavity and oropharynx to see whether the object is visible.

If it’s visible ,you are in luck.

It can be removed under local anaesthesia quickly.

If not seen on examination you will be asked to do radiological tests like X-ray Soft tissue Neck AP/Lateral

Computed Tomography of neck.

Once the object is visualised .

You will be given intravenous medicines ,saline ,pain killers and asked to take nothing orally.

After about 8 hours of empty stomach you will be taken to the operation theatre with your consent .

At the Operation theatre ,a procedure known as Oesophagoscopy is carried out after making you unconscious with the help of anaesthesia .Oesophascopy is the procedure to remove oesoophageal foreign body.

During this procedure a tube with light source will be introduced inside your food pipe to look for the object stuck there.

Once seen it’s taken out with a forcep. The food pipe is also checked for any trauma due to the object.

If it’s a denture and it has a wire stuck in the food pipe .Then it will need to be cut and removed in parts .This avoids perforation or tearing of the food pipe which is a life threatening condition.

Is there a risk during this procedure

Yes all operative procedure have risk involving, the surgery and the anaesthesia.

During Oesophagoscopy since the object is stuck in the food pipe ,a risk of tear is always there.

Fortunately the food pipe has multiple coats and mucosal tears if minor can be treated without complications.

But if the tear is deep there are chances of long-term narrowing of esophagus and life risk too.

Objects getting stuck in the food pipe in adults is less common than in children.But when it happens it may have a more dangerous sequelae to the problem

What happens if the object is removed with no tear?

You get better .After a postoperative neck and chest X-ray and 24 to 48 hours of antibiotics (depending on condition ), you will be discharged.

What happens if there’s a tear?

Let’s pray that doesn’t happen.But in the event it happens ,your doctor will ask you to avoid any oral.intake of food or water .

Antibiotics and intravenous fluid continues till it heals .

In some cases surgery may be needed to repair a tear.

What happens if the object is not removed?

If the object is in the food pipe proper and not stuck in the wall there’s some chance of it gradually progressing into the lower part of your gut.

Wherever it is it will need to be removed. Because intestinal perforation due to obstruction can endanger your life.

If it’s stuck in the throat and not removed urgently

For fish bone you will have an episode of pharyngitis like symptoms which should heal with the use of antibiotics.

In the worst case scenario it can irritate you for some time.

Al meat bone needs to be removed

Otherwise it can cause acute retropharyngeal,parapharyngeal abscess and various other complications

Do what’s the best thing to do ?

Eat mindfully.

Not only you enjoy your food more ,you also avoid these freak accidents.

This is my UBC day 25 .Writing daily since October .

Why Should You take up Blogging Challenges?

Blogging and writing take up a lot of time and energy. When you are just starting it’s important you have a plan. The most important plan is to write regularly. But writing is a lonely job and the early years are tough. If you don’t know whether anyone is reading you can get disheartened. Since we are all writers at heart, we need inspiration and support. This contest page will have updates on all the writing and blogging events happening that we can curate.

Blogging Challenges what I like:

1) It’s fun to challenge yourself to grow

2) You form a habit of writing, which is most important. Habits are not made overnight.

3) You have a social circle of writers and bloggers who understand you.

4) You earn prize money, exposure all of which will help your blog grow.

5) You learn that you are not alone in this writing world.

As of 2022 April the Alexa.com site is going to be retired.

My Friend Alexa: Does Alexa Rank help?

Now Alexa is a tough topic.Some people call it extinct.S ome say it’s a gimmick and many are passionate.F rom my two years of fiddling with Alexa, I found that the Alexa rank may show only 1% of your website traffic.Y our traffic may be much more than what your Alexa Rank predicts. It’s a reflection of the traffic you receive from people with the Alexa extension on their browser.Now only Bloggers and webmasters use this extension.So Alexa, in fact, is said to predict the percentage of traffic you receive from your audience amongst Bloggers and webmasters.

This is useful if you also write content aimed at that Particular audience group.There’s no harm in doing that since traffic is always good news.

What can you expect from the #MyfriendAlexa campaign?

Discipline
Habit of writing
Learning to speed read
Learning to use social media effectively.The power of community.
The effect of Twitter Chats.
The fun of twitter chatting with people on a similar wavelength

After all, Twitter is a social media with a thinking head. You can put a filter on your pictures, but your tweets show who you are more than you can imagine.

You will learn about how to make your Blog stats numbers help you make your blog better for your reader. The numbers which matter.
Blogging by number is important. It is part of the answer to make a successful blog but not the entire answer.

What makes a successful Blog is as simple and as complicated as what makes successful people.

What happens to your Alexa when you don’t write or read regularly? It shoots back up again.

For Alexa lower is better.

Mompreneur’s blogging journey featured: Neha Jain the digimother

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on May 21, 2018 5

It’s mompreneur interview time today. My guest for today is Neha Jain the digimother .

Whenever I interview bloggers for interview ,it’s interesting how I recognize a part of me in each of them.

Neha is a devoted mother to a little girl.Her blogging journey too is largely influenced by motherhood adventures and her zeal to be financially independent .

She is a digital marketing professional turned mommy blogger. She holds 5 years of experience in the digital marketing industry and is an MBA by qualification. Neha was born and brought up in Delhi and recently, moved to Chandigarh with her hubby and 2-year old toddler. Currently, she is exploring her new role as a mother and is pretty excited about her venture: http://www.digimother.com/.

Who is your audience?

Primarily, new moms and mom-to-be and secondarily, whoever wants to read my content and feel happy after reading it.

How many blogs do you manage?

I have two blogs. One is self-hosted and the other is created on mycity4kids.com
http://www.digimother.com/
http://www.mycity4kids.com/parenting/shona< /span>

Best blog design tips from your experience

It should be simple and classy.

How do you manage family, work and personal care? Give us your best time management tips.

This is the most difficult thing when you work-from-home. We WAHMs are always occupied and short of time. Still, things have to be done and delivered. Prioritizing things is very important. Don’t run. Take a deep breath, have a cup of hot tea/coffee (whatever you like) and plan things. Never compromise with your looks and hygiene. Go to the parlour and relax. I prefer going on weekends, when hubby is home.

What are the 5 Best blogging practices?

Post regularly.
Make a blogging calendar if you can.
Write for your audience not for yourself.
Make connections for other bloggers and do guest posts.
Read, write and interact by commenting on others’ blogs.

Which email service do you use? Why do you like them?

I use Gmail for its simplicity and reliability.

Give us your top 5 ways of making money from your blog. Which one is your favourite and why?

Although I am learning this but here are some tips that worked for me:-
Signup on influencer platforms like Blogmint
Become active on Twitter and participate in chats; use hashtags wisely to get noticed by the brands and the agencies.
Make connections
Signup with infolinks
*Pitch in facebook groups.

Your inspiration and favourite quote.

I feel inspired by great works of other people. I feel “if they can do and then I too can do”.
I like many quotes but here I would like to mention this quote on Life:-

“Life is 10% what happen to us and 90% how we react to it.” – Dennis P. Kimbro

Tell me the story of your first -time earning as a blogger

It happened when someone contacted me on Twitter for an event in Chandigarh. Read about the event here: http://www.digimother.com/boschevent/

What resources would you recommend for getting own blog started. Give us your traffic tips, monetization tips.

If you are blogging just as a hobby, you can do it for free using platforms like blogger and wordpress.com but if you want to pursue professional blogging then you need to spend some bucks for purchasing your domain name, hosting and web-designing. I think the best way to get traffic is to read and comment on others’ blogs. The other way that I find very effective in increasing the blog traffic is participating in blogging challenges. I know it is a pain but it’s worth the effort.
As far as monetization is concerned, pitch yourself in Facebook groups like media movements, become active on Twitter and Instagram. Sign up on influencers platforms like Blogmint.com and become an active part of blogging community like #blogchatter.

Tips & Your message for struggling Bloggers

Although I am very new to share any expertise on this, but I suggest give it your best shot and take help from fellow bloggers. People are there to help and guide you. You just need to ask for it. Never give up!

What’s your vision with this venture?

Initially I started this blog with a vision to help new moms and moms-to-be in their parenting journey. But as the time passed, I broaden my vision and now want to make this a platform where a digital mom shares her personal journey with the world and inspires the people to do something meaningful in their lives.

Tell us a bit about your family. Who is your biggest support?

My parents have been my biggest support even after marriage. They motivate me when I feel low. My husband always encourages me to try new things and stands as a rock solid support behind me.

That was Neha from digimother. How did you like her interview ?
