Stay Safe During The Festive Season
Mummy: “Avani, come running – there is so much to do – we have not yet cleaned the rooms, curtains are dirty, all clothes are yet to be hanged, and Oh Ho, look at your almirah – seems like a haunted place to me😑.”
Granny: “One thing I told you was to get this mithai from the sweet shop, but why will anyone listen to me! Fine, I’ll not eat the only sweet I relish this Diwali as well 😭!”
Daddy: “Arey people, it’s been ages since me waiting in the car – come quick. We’ll finish our visits to Gupta Ji, Gulati Ji, and Sharma Ji in one go. And yes, before that we need to collect the ordered items from two shops on the way. If time allows, on our way back, we’ll have golgappas 😀” <horn horn horn>
Friend(s): “C’mon yaar, at least spare some time for us during Diwali – I’ll come to your place, pick you up, we’ll go to the trade fair, hog some snacks, you’ll then come to my place, we’ll have fun – and then you can go back – now no ifs and buts please 😈.”
Mummy again🙈: “Where on earth are you?!?! God knows, when will my Diwali Safai be over 😖”
Similar is the story of many Avanis and Ankits and Priyas and Parags during the Oct-Nov festive season in India. Running here and there, eating outside or whatever readily available, and hitting the hay with tired legs and sleepy eyes. What about the much-panicked corona or hastily spreading wings of dengue or season-changing infections or our overall health amongst all this?
Something that is, BUT should not be IGNORED!
More than anything, the dengue scare has vastly gripped many regions of India. 665 cases of the same have been reported to date in October month in Delhi – by far the highest monthly count of this year. The situation is likely to become more grave and gross with impending fear of COVID and other microbial infections. However, our efforts must be directed towards an unhampered festival mood and mode!
- What We Eat
Oily, Sugary, and Heavy – are the attributes defining our festive season food. Our gut defines our immunity, and refined oils disrupt the gut’s functionality. Furthermore, sugary food, primarily made from white sugar, also lowers the body’s immunity. Meeting friends, going out, gulping fast food are things common during festivals – ultimately making us consume things that lower our body’s immunity and impact our health. Nevertheless, there are few good to-dos and cautions one can adopt and beautifully put out by Dr. Shikha Nehru Sharma.
- Stepping Out
While running the ‘festival marathon,’ it is natural to forget the WASH, apply sanitizer, or even wear a mask. So, what do you plan to do – ignore OR go back home when you remember OR something smart 😎? Let’s go smart – get up and put a handy sanitizer bottle, a mask, a soap strip, a handkerchief (or small hand towels or tissues) in your handbag that you always carry with you and the personal vehicle you may use for traveling (as applicable). It is also sensible to avoid large crowds no matter how fascinating they may appear. Maintaining physical distancing at such places is not practically feasible!
- Don’t dehydrate
Water is simply wonderful – basically, the most natural way to keep us healthy and our organs working. Drink lots of water and take a water bottle along (please prefer taking water from home) when heading out for shopping.
- Disinfection – a part of ‘Diwali Safai’
Let’s ensure this as a mandate this Diwali – rather prior to it – or better by the end of this week (I am sure once you do, you would want to make it a pattern). Breeding grounds for mosquitoes, insects, and pathogens result in deadly diseases like dengue. Maintaining cleanliness and disinfecting the surroundings would help ensure a dual safety mechanism.
Stay Safe! Stay Festive!

Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months
of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have
any methods to stop hackers?
First of all I want to say wonderful blog!

I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.
I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the
first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any ideas or hints? Thanks!
