A heartfelt letter to life

Dear Zindagi

It's never too late. No I don't mean that I am going to die. I think I have a few more years to live ( I am just 34!). Anyways coming to the point. I had been longing to say these to you since long but neither had the courage nor time. Today I am coming face to face with you to share my deepest secrets, deeper desires and expectations and of course complaints from you. So here I am, pouring my heart to you.

You had been pretty good to me since the beginning. I mean I have always loved you, my life! You have given me a set of wonderful parents and a even loving elder sister who is almost more than my mother. Again you had been pretty loving during my academic years. You have given me a profession which has enabled me to lead a prosperous life. And I believe that you will keep on endowing me with more pleasures.

Coming to my personal life, you have given me a pretty girl to love and eventually marry. And then you have given me the biggest gift till date...my daughter! I cannot thank you enough. But don't get too excited. I have my share of qualms too.

Why do you infuse stress in my family? Why do you make me fight with my wife? Why do you make me do stupid things that cause tiffs with her? Why can't you mend my ways? She means the world to me, why don't you make her feel that?

Coming to my daughter, why do illnesses ever exist? Okay with a healthy world our profession would cease to exist but why do you make my daughter sick on and off? It just kills me to see her not goofing around and lying quietly on bed. Her stye has aggravated so severely and I am dead scared. My opthalmologist friends are saying that if it does not resolve sooner, it can turn into cellulitis. Oh why did you do this? Why don't you spare my daughter and punish me instead? 

Now I want you to know something. You know what is my greatest desire? Its to travel the whole world, every country, every inch. I want to give a nice life to my parents and my daughter too. Please zindagi please make it possible. Just do something which can fulfil all my wishes. Right now at my position, it seems quiet contradictory. I mean in order to travel I need money. For the bright future of my daughter, I need tonnes of moolah. Leave higher education, even primary education is so expensive. And I want the best and only best for her. As far as parents are concerned, I want to give the best possible medical care (God forbid so). I want to give them utmost luxury in their retirement phase and want to give them my time too. But how can everything be possible simultaneously? For everything I need to work hard to earn money. But if I spend my salad days toiling, then when would I go globe trotting? If I wait for retirement to do so, I won't have that physical energy left. Please zindagi, please help me out. Please zindagi, solve my woes. You have been so good to me earlier, why not now and and in the future?

Love
Your inseparable partner

Effect of COVID 19 on edible oil industry and Palm oil

  The Corona pandemic has caused a havoc on the global economy. Some countries have been more affected than others. I however would like to focus on the effect of the pandemic on the edible oil industry and Malaysian Palm oil especially. Last week I attended a webinar hosted by the  Malaysian Palm Oil Council with Dr Bhavna Shah, country representative of India/Sri Lanka as the speaker and what she said about the palm oil industry right now is really food for thought. How has COVID 19 affected the edible oil industry?  The pandemic caused shutting down of restaurants and catering businesses and hence a drastic reduction in the  import of edible oils. People have reduced eating outside to a very large extent and also takeaway orders have declined. This situation was particularly grave during the lockdown period. The production of cooking oil comes under Essential goods services but the production of containers isn't. Labours migrated back to their villages from the ci...

Celebs who I love following on TikTok

The world almost stood still the past two months. While everyone stayed at homes and worked from within, my job didn't permit so. Yes I am a frontline worker (a medical professional) who had to go to the hospital during the entire lockdown time. I was double stressed: Catching the infection myself as well as silently passing on to my two little kids or my elderly parents. I have been seeing and hearing people cursing this quarantined life but they don't understand it's a privilege to be able to stay within the safe confines of home and work and earn. The only respite in this period has been TikTok. Yes, I am now a total TikTok convert.  If there's anything that got a boost during this Corona pandemic, it has to be TikTok. This app has seen billions of downloads and users in the past couple of months. And why not? It's like a breath of fresh air. After I come back from the hospital and undergo a rigorous sanitation regime to ward off any kind ...

SCHIPHOL AIRPORT TO AMSTERDAM CITY

SCHIPHOL AIRPORT TO AMSTERDAM How to reach to the city center from Airport is always a big question while travelling. By far car/taxi is the easiest and most convenient form. But it’s costly, if you are travelling solo or as a couple. There is no harm to save few bugs but yes, comfort is always a priority. Public transport in Amsterdam is very convenient, fast and comfortable.   Shciphol is world’s 14 th largest airport situated 22 Km south of Amsterdam city center. It’s well connected to the city center and nearby places by bus train and taxi. By taxi : The maximum start price of taxi car is near about 2.83 euro, with travel rate of 2.08 euro per km and travel time cost 0.34 euro per minute. So expect a cost between 45 Euros to 60 Euros from shciphol airport to the city center, depending on your location. You can need taxi especially at late night, when the trams stop functioning. The taxi stand is located just outside of airport arrival...
