swine flu and Hyderabad

This is not new, but should be helpful for the readers.

As they say, Precaution & Prevention is always better than cure.

• Wash your hands frequently, with soap. To make it most effective, rub the soap lather for 20-30 seconds
• Avoid touching places like door knobs, railing on an escalator etc and wash hands after touching them
• Avoid touching your nose, eyes or mouth as these are the ways virus might infect you
• Avoid hand-shakes
• Avoid crowded or public places like bus-stops, stations, malls etc
• Eat healthy – more vegetables, fruits, protein rich food
• Sleep well- 8 hours a day to rest your body appropriately
• Avoid long journeys / laborious physical work
• Avoid travel to cities which are hit badly by the virus, like Pune, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad. If needed, use masks.Stay home as much as possible. Weekends need not be celebrated by outing

Another piece of information I found while talking to the doctor mentioned above is that the masks used for prevention are available at surgical shops in the city. Also he informed me that when you buy a mask, ask for 3 layered mask. That is the best one recommended.

The Wayback Machine

Nope! I’m not talking about the overly fantasized Time Machine! Here is a website that maintains archive of all websites since their first appearance. Wow! This site provides you a search engine – The Way back Machine, to enter URL of a website and then gets you a huge database of all the achieved links from the website’s birth. Interesting, I searched for TOI, Intel etc, and it was real good and neat stuff.

Typically Way Back Machine can be used to
1.Find out the age of a website
2.Find the old URL
3.See the changes done by website’s owner for branding & various other purposes
4.Have fun, read the stuff which you could not read years back!
Enjoy Madi.

A thought

“Change is the only constant thing in this world, change yourself, now!” was the quote hung up on a wall, in a friend’s house. How true it is! Many are afraid of change because they fear the unknown. They do not follow their heart for the fear of the failure, for the fear of drowning themselves into misery and pain, for the fear of losing what they have earned so far, material, educational, monetary, spiritual et al.

Some do not have the courage to change. Sometimes you get the courage to do a thing before you do it, sometimes you get it after doing the thing. So, why fear the unknown, go for it. There is no reason one should not follow his heart and chase the dream. Keep changing.
Change is the only constant thing in this world.
