5 ways to support a friend emotionally



Dont be a Therapist, Just be a Good friend

We all struggle, from time to time, financially, emotionally & mentally.
All other difficulties are easy to convey, with those who are closest to you. The exception being that of a emotionally draining occurence, because of the fear of being judged as weak! Here are 5 ways, you can help someone who is evidently in need of emotional support
1. Ask - Dont assume, dont guess, if you see someone not being their regular self, just ask!
2. Listen - To whatever they have to say, even if its just a rant, or a call for help.
3. Dont judge - This is the last thing they would want to hear, your judgemental (& not so needed) critique.
4. Find a solution - Assist them with self help ideas, to find a way through their difficulties. 
5. Be present - Sometimes thats all they want, someones presence. Just to know that they have someone to reach out to.

Whereas the second study, is a mere computer simulation & not performed on any living species (also it is just a preprint & has not yet recieved peer-review.) Also, these studies were done only for few of the contents of the entire kit i.e, the Divya-Ras tablet & a herb called Giloy in the Coronil tablet. The ...

5 reasons why Work from home is no longer easy

Gone are those days when employees would get elated at the slightest mention of Work from home! The ease & comfort of working in your own home with your special cup of coffee or your favorite dish cooked a few minutes ago. The concept was so amazing. But thanks to Corona, it ain't the case anymore. "Work from home has become more of a nightmare during this pandemic." Here are 5 reasons, why WFH is not a cakewalk anymore: Blurred lines - The tick of the clock which used to mean that its time to go home, has no relevance now.

You're always at home!  What's the time? - The infinite loop of endless work hours just doesn't cease to exist.
