Ok, we are staring at a pandemic. But at least we know it's caused by a bit of biology. Can you imagine if the panic you felt was not associated with a known thing like a virus, but w/a mysterious vapor? Or an evil spirit? Welcome to the plagues of the past! (continued ...1/4)

Next time you joke about Air India and state owned enterprises, remember it's Air India's staffs who took life risk to evacuate people in need and BSNL's free broadband service during self-isolation.
Air India to mount a 787-Dreamliner to Rome today to evacuate students, other travellers or any Indians stranded there. The flight will return to Delhi tomorrow morning.

Fighting #COVID19 | Don't Stigmatize It's important that there is no stigma around COVID19. This is a contagious viral disease; almost anyone can get affected by it. Stigma can lead to under reporting, misinformation & lack of cooperation. It takes all of us to win this battle.

If you want to perform at your best, work intensely and then rest intensely. Real rest takes a surprising amount of discipline. Set aside time each day, week, season. Commit to unplugging, relaxing, and clearing your mind. Then, come back refreshed and ready to push even harder.

How to write: Stop not writing. Get your butt in a chair, or schedule butt-in-chairage. Then be there, in place, as debt of Honor. Has to be today, has to be at least 45 minutes. Then write badly, one bad sentence after a worse one. We’ll help you make it better at another time.
