Impact of Ganesh Chaturthi on an Unorganised Sectors

        *The Unusual Sunday Drop!* #018

_a weekly WA Series_

As devotees insist on the day of statue immersion “No matter the circumstances, we look forward to your return within the next year. 

Agle baras aana hai, aana hi hoga...” “Pudchya varshi lavkar ya...”

 

Today, I will try to give a different angle to this festival, through the lens of revenue generation for an unorganized sector.

 

Welcoming of a king Shri. Ganesha gives a spike to an unorganized sector irrespective to a seller belonging to any religion. Unorganized sectors (Informal Sectors) are those which operates without governance of any laws. Like we have street vendors, street hawkers, personal service providers etc. in spite of, so many challenges, these sectors contribute close to 50% of total GDP in India.

· Group of family members come together for a tiny business of making a mesmerizing Ganpat idols.

· Street vendors sell as many as adorable flowers, garlands to the devotees.

· Devotees prefer eating vegetarian food, does there is a remarkable rise in the sale of Vegetables by the street vendors.

· Mahila Udyog (Ladies group business) motivates to prepare more of lip smacking sweets, snacks and other food items served to their loves ones and the guests.

· Garment manufacturing companies increase their labour force, and also the production.

· Chemical manufacturing companies  increase their production to sell crackers.

· Group of friends come together, forming a large group investing in band instruments and provide best of their service during the festival of Ganpati.

· Other sellers create a decorative apparel, turban and other accessories for the Ganpati idol their own creativity.

· Landlords offer spare room on rental basis to the expats staying in the region on temporary basis.

· Truck vehicle owners, rent out there, vehicle for  carrying large size idols from one place to other.

· Sustainable companies make the best use of leftover flowers in the sea by unbelievably converting them into incense sticks and handicrafts.

Thank you for staying till here if this gives rise to your thought, do let me know what all businesses you’ll have seen during festival season.

Thats Perfect Attack!

       *The Unusual Sunday Drop!* #017

_a weekly WA Series_ 

We folks are pain-takers, as we work outnumbered to put the food on the dinner table.

-Charudatt.

Hunting for food, specifically by carnivorous animals and inserts is entirely dependent on their accuracy of attack on the prey.

Generally, when we think of an animal attacking on their prey for their starving tummy, we think of those ever-active Lion, Tiger and Cheetahs in the jungle. Here, I would want you to hold your thoughts and extend flash some-more wide including insects and plants.

Surprisingly, there are few carnivorous plans which creates a trap for their food like inserts, frogs and snakes.

(Here's Video)

Coming back to thought flow of your brain Lions, Tigers and Cheetahs are standing far behind in the queue when it comes to an attack on their pray.

Happiness Index- A drop evening nation needs!

      *The Unusual Sunday Drop!* #016

_a weekly WA Series_  

Happiness Index self-assessed life evaluations, using a scale from 0 to 10. Recent report released in March at the University of Oxford, Finland consistently ranks highest, demonstrating the importance of factors beyond just economic prosperity. Afghanistan's consistent ranking at the bottom.

Criteria Used for Ranking:

GDP per capita – economic strength of a country.

Healthy life expectancy – average life span in good health.

Social support – availability of help from family or friends.

Freedom – perceived freedom to make life choices.

Generosity – willingness of people to help others.

Perception of corruption – trust in public institutions.






Factors provide sense to uplift Joy-

India should be addressing issues like poverty, inequality, and environmental challenges to see the progressive shift in the HI. Aiming on local public facilities by government like hospitals, water supply, travel, lavatories, gardens.

Festivals also play crucial roles in the behaviour of the country citizens. India has 7 main religions and 36 Popular Festivals. Country should absorb major benefits of these festivals celebrated across the country.

It is said that “Richer doesn’t always mean Happier” USA rack lower than the small nations when it comes to HI. If we study and compare various aspects it is to Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, and the Netherlands when it comes to Happiness Index, we see these country’s government primarily focus on social welfare i.e. food, shelter, healthcare, and education. Finland's beautiful natural environment, with its vast forests and numerous lakes, provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation, which are highly valued by citizen of Finland.

I prompt my pencil to rest here, and take a time out by mentioning my final word: Joy and Happiness is not about the numbers, whether or not country ranks top what matters is people’s willingness to adapt the happiness. Person should believe in value of Simplifying the life. They should help others in volunteering build relations. Practice Thankfulness towards society. Take care of their own physical health.

Do let me know in comments what makes You, City, Nation, County, People of this planet to be happy? Don’t stress thinking too much. Stay Happy :)

How sleep shapes your life

  *The Unusual Sunday Drop!* #010

_a weekly WA Series_ 

Stages of Sleep.

Typical sleep cycle lasts about 90-120 minutes. Let’s take a deep dive in two core stages of sleep.

Non-Rapid Eye Movement- This is further divided in 3 stages. Your body is active in this stage hence, one may do sleepwalking. You may dream but these dreams are realistic.

Rapid Eye Movement- This is second stage. Your eyes move rapidly in this stage. In this stage brain is hyperactive. Your body becomes completely paralyzed and also you dream unrealistic and something creative in this stage. 

Do you know? Thomas Edison used to sleep on the chair, with ball bearing in his hand. Moment, he shifts from NREM to REM sleeps his body used to become paralyzed as mentioned above and the ball bearing used to fall down, making a loud noise. He used to wake up and note down what he thought of, in dreams on paper kept on the table. This helped him to do many inventions.

Research says, some birds even sleep with one eye open, as half of their brain is alert while the other is asleep (It's known as:Unihemispheric Slow-Wave Sleep- USWS)- Parrots, Mallard ducks and Frigate birds are few of them. They mostly do this when they migrate for long distance. However, they do sleep when they are in troops.
Sources- Cornell university- New York

Monkeys/Apes sleep on tree don’t have REM sleep. Because if their body becomes paralyzed, they will fall from the tree.

Dolphins and Whales are the types of fishes who have to come out of water to breath, so that they survive or they will die while they are sleeping. They sleep with half brain active come on the top of the water and again go inside.

7-8 hours of sleep is essential for every human this helps brain to complete all the sleeping cycles and detox- flush-out unwanted thoughts, so that there is a space created for new knowledge and information.

Let's work on that!

The Digital Balance- Less Screen time, with more of sense- Pause- Unplug-Play…

  *The Unusual Sunday Drop!* #009

_a weekly WA Series_ 

What’s Cooking with Gen Z (aka Zoomers) today?

In today's world, it has become a challenge to cut screen time. Studies have shown, people who spent more time using devices like TVs, tablets, computers, and gaming consoles were at a higher risk of developing problems like aggression, anxiety, and low self-esteem later in life.

Here are few effective tips which will help you to balance your digitel life and cut down screen time.

Before one start approaching on reducing a screen time, they need to analyse hows their pattern to spend time. Could be, whether its over TV, Tablet, I- Pad, Laptop or mobile. If it’s on a mobile, one can turn on screen-time tracker. It’s present in Android as well as on iPhone devices. By turning on this settings, your mobile will present a report every end of the day showing the analytics of how-much time was spent and which app was utilised more. This gives you a clear picture and helps to setup realistic goals.

Straight to the Point:

Let's establish no screen hours as in no to Phones, TVs and your Lappy. Perhaps, take a walk or me time outdoors without a screen gadget.

Not necessary to look at the screen if an advertise is played in between your favorite video. Just look away from screen until you have an opportunity to skip, its again an opportunity to give your eyes a quick break.

Tech-Free period can be referred as one spending time with family. Could be, Alen discussing about the recess prank with his parents in dinner table conversations rather watching a TV while dining. It’s a strong family-emotional moment.

Turn off unnecessary notifications- Its commonly ignored but to be very impactful. We check our phone on beep, hoping it’s an important message. However, it turns out to be some random notification which doesn’t matter to you anyway. But screen time increases when you start taking steps towards other stuffs in your mobile leads to involve some-more, notification was just a start point. This prepares our subconscious mind to keep checking and its been observed that people check phone messages even though they are not expecting replying from anyone.

Switching to audio books and listening to podcasts, rather watching will straight cut down screen-time to half. Whether you’re walking, cooking, or commuting, listening instead of watching a screen. It’s indeed a smart move.

Thats it! Let's pencil it in and take a first step if any of the above point which talks about sense to you. I am slowing down my fingers tried to keep an article crisp to match my theme by keeping screen-time limited.

I am taking a week break and See ya in my next Sunday drop. Till then you keep rolling. Cheers!

Success Redefined- You End Where You Begin!

  *The Unusual Sunday Drop!* #008

_a weekly WA Series_

If I ask “What is Success, for you?”

You will probably pause, scratch your head and utter something aspirational. However let me tell you, this was not the same couple of years back. And never going to hold the same after couple of years. Let’s park this aside…

Do you know when you are 1 year  old your success is simply to stand on your feet, when you were 4 years old success is managing not to wet your your pants whereas, when you are 8 years old success is knowing the way back home.

Similarly at the age of,

10 years- Know how to ride a bicycle

21 years become a gradate

30 years get married

35 years become a family person

45 years to earn decent money, yet look young

60 years live healthy and illness-free life

75 years to have an old friend to share old stories and achievements

Now life take a U turn, when you are 80 years old, success is to know the way back home, when you are 85 success is managing not to wet your pants whereas, when you are 91 success is to stand on your feet.

Definition of success changes at every stage of life and you reach where you started. It called Chakra (kind of a circle). It ends where it begins from, to complete itself.

You are Fantastic, Unimaginable creature with full of potential at every age and stage. Cheers!

Cold Truth, Warm Reality- The Bread and Butter Story

  *The Unusual Sunday Drop!* #007

_a weekly WA Series_

We have often seen infinite stories of bread and butter. However, today let’s see how we can relate this deeply to each one of us. In everyday life you are the bread and the butter on the top represents your environment. Now environment can be defined as climate, people with whom you deal, place where you live- (Workplace, College, Commuters), physical things around you and many more which influence you daily.

Here, core focus is on your attitude towards your surroundings. If you are cold, surrounding is unlikely to support your growth and potential to be a superlative. However, when you bring warmth—positivity, openness, and energy—you can draw the best from your surroundings and move closer to becoming the best version of yourself.

Let’s not forget. Too much intensity can overwhelm the situation. Strive for warmth, not heat—enough to make things better, not to burn them.
