Administrative instructions for managing COVID 19 pandemic

How to tie down 138 cr Indians. That requires great skill and our bureaucracy has that unenviable skill in abundance. Try reading what is permitted in Red, Orange, Green zones now and try to explain it to yourself or to your wife.

Govt has taken a tough decision to extend the lockdown by another 2 weeks. Many now are saying incl. Infosys Narayanamurthy that now people will start dying due to hunger more than those who die due to COBID 19. It is a catch 22 situation for Govt. "Damn you do, damn you dont do". Perhaps Govt is planning a staggered exit with the relaxations announced in Orange and Green zone districts.

Some are impractical like 2 passengers in a private car with one driver in the front etc. So if you have to undertake an emergency travel what will you do with your children. Simple is dont travel.

Red zones do s and dont s are inscrutable.Better for Govts. to define Red zones in terms of Wards/streets in cities and taluks/villages instead of districts. Our districts are far and wide and even if there is one corona case some 40 kms aways, I will be penalised because the entire district is flashing red. Govt should move in that direction in couple of days time.Earlier the better.

It is barber shops, salons , gyms that have become contentious. Physical disfigurement due to COVID 19!!

The Indian Rupee recently crossed the 97 mark against the US Dollar, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. If you've been tracking exchange rates or planning a trip abroad, you've probably felt the pinch. Everything from imported electronics to cooking oil is getting more expensive. And your money just doesn't stretch as far as it used to. This isn't a one-day blip. The rupee has been on a steady downward slide for months, and the reasons go deeper than most headlines suggest. It's a mix of what's happening inside India's economy and what's happening across the globe. Trade deficits, foreign investors pulling out money, rising oil prices, the US Federal Reserve keeping interest rates high — all of these are pulling the rupee in the wrong direction at the same time. In this post, we'll break down the key domestic pressures weighing on the rupee and the global forces making the US Dollar stronger. We'll also look at what the Reserve Bank ...

Hanuman and Ganesha!

The two major loved deities of the Hindu pantheon are Hanuman and Ganesha. Let us dwell into the concepts and significance of these two dieties. Ganesha, the son of Parvati and Shiv, is worshipped first before starting any new job or work.
