Online changed the world - Business on the move

Thanks to Corona crisis, the online world is rocking, leaping to make a significant and mandatory change with new insights. Fear, unlearning, worry, trepidation, skepticism is all thrown to the winds. Social Media has changed the power of businesses and even a small business house in order to thrive and succeed has now to be adept at the new gaming style—the practical, online game. There’s no looking back.

Remain relevant:  Engage in these rapid transformations

Texting, Digital Marketing to increase ROI, Strategies, Social Net-working are all linked with distinct online routes. Face book and Instagram have helped significantly in changing the business platform to ring in additional revenue and taste success.  Art and Education in general have taken a 360 degrees paradigm shift. Profits are zooming in for Art to those who have gone online. Teaching has received a change hitherto unknown. Earlier, one would have pooh-poohed the possibility of teaching online, derive answers as: “How can such a scenario work? It is impracticable; My line of work demands close interaction with the client; I cannot teach online as students can’t cope considering it’s something new; How is it practically possible to work on a virtual space in my line of activity, are you kidding? Such things won’t work for me.”

Upheavals, critical, unanswered questions emerge to adapt to unpredictable economic change

Has proved to everybody who thought otherwise- online is here to stay.  No matter what line of business, you have to take a step forward to reach out to the latest technology to generate new business. For this you have to be conversant with email, texting, web world and how it operates, googling, Skype, data generating, mobile internet access, WIFI, online payment access, having a website, virus protection, blogging and a lot more. In other words, two plus two is still four though albeit the fact that the way of computing it has changed. It’s all a new ball game of your fingers having to work differently to have a ‘Zooming’ effect on sales and promotions. Banking, Electricity Generation and Billing, Catering, Commerce, Education, Fine Arts, Government, Garments, Pharmacy, Publishing, Super market, Universities, everything globally has changed despite any conclusive evidences of unprecedented technological changes.

May reflect a plethora of new issues

We need to safeguard with payments online and be prepared to learn the nuances of how tricksters operate. Be aware and beware of payment operation such that user pin and passwords are protected. Regularly changing them is also advisable from the safety angle to be protected always. Not to forget the abounding SPAM operators.

Reality Check – Availability of data and changes in society.

Geared to head the right direction? If yes, you are on a powerful mode. On the contrary, be prepared to face results. The consequences can be drastic, can mean you are out of your business market as technological updating is now part and parcel of life on earth.  Such changes have big implications. You need to come out of your shackles of comfort zone to understand what it implies to go online; how you can gain manifold with knowledge; get abundant, despite the odds of a bearish market and not wait for a bullish one, on a fantasy note.

Global economy in the midst of a fourth industrial revolution

this was not even a faint proposal, being considered totally impractical with soothsayers suggesting all will be well, but global economy has been at stake and everything nearing a grinding halt. Necessity being the mother of invention, came to our rescue and there is no two ways on this –Go Online, if you have not, already. Mastery over any game comes only with practice and this is no exception. Learning the nuances is not some rocket science and can be learnt just like car driving. Make a consistent attempt to be in third gear in business by involving strategies which make you get noticed in the market. SEO and Google are not the only options, as Social Media platforms are now ruling the roost and a powerful presence in social media can change business outlooks in one’s favor.

New concepts

Advertising concepts have changed its focus and the Print Media has gone online to survive and get rewarded by its presence.  Soon enough, the daily newspaper in a hard copy arriving to our homes will seem a distant dream and yet the sizzling daily news which we relish over a morning cuppa coffee would appear mysteriously to our homes just as before at the flick of a mouse over one’s computer screens.  What’s more, its news relayed by the hour. With the explosion of Information Technology, the publishing industry is being radically altered, determining the online presence. Fifty years ago, online was unheard of. Another 50 years to go, this too would meet the same fate, as you get more tech-savvier a place to live in. No doubts on that.  So, everyday living involves learning and more learning to stay fit and competent to rock your space. 

Work to embrace a spirit of bold experimentation

Online Medical consultations with easy access to medical help in urban cities.  Did one ever envisage, dream or remotely consider such a feasibility?  Recollect the music world. Songs used to get taped and sold on a Cassette, and the next advent was the floppy drive, (outdated) followed by the Pen Drive, and the ubiquitous External Hard Disk.  Chennai and Carnatic Music are synonymous. Now music concerts are online and that is a totally different feel for one who has lived here in Chennai, considering we have always been used to going to the Sabhas for a ‘live ‘ Kutcheri  to hear our favorite musicians.  Now it is ‘live’, no doubt, but the mode of operating has changed and gone on a virtual platform.  One gets to hear them none the less, although I daresay, the thrill of the previous era of a personalized touch is found missing.  Yes, Corona crisis changed everything, leaving no stone unturned. 

It makes all the difference depicting yesterday, today, tomorrow and the day after’s calling.

Your Organ’s body clock... change your lifestyle accordingly

Your Organ’s body clock ... change your lifestyle accordingly for healthy living Most people are unaware that the first thing that they need to do on getting up is to drink hot water. The Mahatma or Father of the Nation sipped a large marble tumbler of hot water daily , it used to be so hot that he used to hold it with a napkin between his fingers   says my dad, who I guess imbibed   the habit   as his Personal Secretary and at  96   is  fit as on date. Not surprisingly, I too took to it as a fish takes to water.   Hence I can vouch for the same. The worst time to drink coffee is early in the morning as it contains caffeine. Old habits die hard but the fact is   Caffeine is a diuretic and takes water away from your colon to your kidneys and bladder for evacuation. Your  body  needs plenty of water in the morning to do its repair and maintenance of the large intestine and colon.  Comfortably sit and sip as much a...

A day in the life of the Mahatma

A day in the life of the Mahatma                                                                                                                                                                      Gandhiji always got up at 3.30 A.M.   After his ablutions, he held prayers from all communities in his room where he expected all inmates of the ashram to assemble and participate. Similarly, before going to bed at 9 P.M., he always prayed.  So he described prayer as “The key of the morning and bolt of the evening”. Immediately after his prayers he would ha...

Living on the edge -- bypassing long-term health issues, insensitive to environment

  Living on the edge:  bypassing long-term health issues, insensitive to environment Whilst every day is a new one, life goes on each to his or her mundane routine.   Do we ever contemplate on:   what fabric is good for me and what is bad?   Seriously, I think colors, texture and design should no longer be the only criteria for an impulsive buy. You and your family need to be aware of that in the first place rather than checking on what is trending.   With online shopping and best buys for the season, it’s time to seriously look into the FABRIC aspect that makes a potent cocktail when you hit town. Many a times we are confronted with unhealthy choices of fabrics that resemble the Siamese twins. We love the design, get into raptures , unaware of the material’s hazards, due to lack of knowledge or sheer ignorance. When was the last time you checked on an aspect that your skin should be the criteria for a buy? Today the women’s market of apparels is flo...

English is alive … keeps ticking!

Image
ENGLISH IS ALIVE ... KEEPS TICKING! E nglish certainly is a queer language as any you see, with all its plurals as different as can get to be for no reason or rhyme. Consider for example:  the plural of ox is oxen but the plural of fox is not foxen but foxes.  But then that is English, call it the British or American version. Although it’s a borrowed language, it finds its way being alive and ticking when it comes to the Corporate world, just in the same fashion as their US$ rules the roost as a form of exchange. Those who are in the fifties age bracket are now confounded with so many words that our past generation didn’t have, but they are words that are only too familiar with the teenage college-goers. So consider a family where there are three generations in the age group of 88+, 55+ and 20+. A conversation typically is: “Hey, I wanted to touch base with you.  Our company has rolled out some good plans.  You can download them and check it out. L...

A red-letter day for all Industrial drone segments in Bharat   The PM of India Shri. Narendra Modi ji inaugurated the Bharat Drone Mahotsav at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi today amidst a packed  audience.  He congratulated all those involved in the drone segments across India and said he wasn’t late for the inauguration today  --  that he came on time but was so absorbed in listening to what the drone sector was geared for, assimilating what they had to deliver, and listening to the many participants at the stalls that he didn’t realize time was ticking away and that he was late for the inauguration. He confessed he certainly would have liked to know more as the information provided to him was spell-bounding on the subject , making him thrilled at the prospects of what lay in store for Bharat. Policy making with technology, better governance and a lot more were capable of being handled by drone technology and when he visited the stalls, he was proud and co...

Secret behind living 120 yrs on Mother Earth with ease (PART - 2)

Your innings on earth: 120 glorious years with ease!  This is relatively very simple to follow. First of all, determine what Nakshatra you come under. I have listed out all the nakshatras below for your ready reference. Then arrive at what Raasi you belong to as per your birth chart.   Nakshatra is different from Raasi for those of you who are not familiar with Astrology.  Raasi is the house or planetary position when you are born, while Nakshatra is the ruling star of the day on which you are born. There are a total of 27 Stars (also known as  Nakshatras) and each of us would fall under one particular star, depending on which star ruled on the day  we were born. Incidentally I may mention that the English version of signs as Aries, Saggitarius, Libra, Leo, etc.,  are not the same as this 12 Rasis as a Saggitarian may have birthday  appearing in December but could fall under a Rasi of Thula and not Meena  as given in serial order ...

English is alive … Keeps ticking (PART # 2)

Image
English has gone a long way … such a long way that I fear keeping track of it may be tougher than I expect to.  The language has undergone a sea change so much so that one would need to have the latest dictionary to keep track.  Sounds crazy, but well we have no other option. I shudder to think of the plight of my Webster’s and Oxford which hold a place of pride at home. They remain as  old editions of by gone era.  The next gen can now relate to them as antique collection of books. They no longer contain words that are important  and tech savvy to me for daily parlance and have become extinct, just like many other things that have gone extinct in our day to day lives.  For instance, I cannot imagine my would-be daughter in law sitting on the grinding stone of those days like we used to, every alternate day for making fluffy idlis/ Dosa.  I distinctly remember my sister and I used to sit on the  " Kalloral "  or grinding stone which...

Clay is Joy, lets you ENJOY

Image
  Clay is Joy, lets you ENJOY Merely watching a clay session churning out pieces of art is sheer joy and lets you enjoy – be it wet clay or leather hard when chiseling out finer aspects.   Experiential and experimental learning   Of all the fine arts prevalent, one that has caught on fast and favorably to all, especially the IT, Medical , Banking sector and children’s segment alike  is Pottery during Corona crisis. The art has many found takers,  thanks to the necessity and need to destress.  It has, of late, been recognized as one that is a perfect tactile, with all the messiness and clumsiness that goes into the making of an art with damp clay and the cool temperature that gets warmer by virtue of  mashing it. The thrill and kick of hand-building is to be experienced and seen to be believed. No denying it is a mindful gesture to put down your tablets, phones and computers aside , forget everything around you and delve into nuances of pottery...

Your innings on earth: 120 glorious years with ease !   The human being is intricately designed so as to live for a ripe 120 years. That is the normal life-span created for him by the Creator.  The Almighty was generous to provide all that is outstanding and nice to the human species for such a glorious lifespan :   the Sun and Moon ,  five Pancha Bhootas, Ida-Pingala-Sookshma nadis for heat /cold balance to match the Spine.  The body in turn got segregated as Vata, Pitta and Kapha bodies of subtle variations for each.

In short a  truly blessed holistic route...

Costly lessons imparted by #Sridevi for free. Care to listen ‘n’ learn?

Costly lessons imparted by #Sridevi for free.   Care to listen ‘n’ learn? Beauty personified at the cost of one’s life seems a bit dicey and difficult to digest.   Actress Sridevi had a natural charm about her that one can attribute as a plus factor. It was a gift from God.   She probably earned it on account of her past Karma.   All she needed to have was a sense of maturity to realize that one has to age gracefully and not overdo it. Stress can take a toll on life is the lesson we can all learn from her untimely death.   Certainly 54 years is not an age to die but one to relax and enjoy the delicious fruits of labor. She rose to the limelight with her acting prowess and she could have still retained her slot in the field as a star of yesteryears for a lifetime, and forever more, with no one to snatch it from her, no matter what her weight or wrinkles were.   But then Madame Death snatched it from her on account of her callous attitude towards her ...
