Winter Exercise Tips for Asthmatics

Exercise is a common trigger for asthma and may cause symptoms in 80–90% of asthmatics. Cold dry winter air can also make breathing difficult for asthmatics, which may result in shortness of breath, wheezing, cough or chest tightness. The symptoms can occur during, just after or several hours after exercise, Padma Shri Awardee Dr. KK Aggarwal - President HCFI and National President Elect IMA.

Film Review | Sultan

Wrestled Sultani Masala 'Biryani'Deep Jagdeep Singh Rating 2/5

If you are a Salman Khan fan, this review is strictly not for you. If you are a diehard Salman fan do not even think of moving one more sentence ahead. And if you are a ‘Fan’ kind of Shahrukh fan read it all till climax. Hey, stop, don’t jump to last sentence right away! He flaunts his bare chest. She enters into the frame. He falls in love at first sight. He does few antics. She falls for him. A romantic song with awkward dance moves. A sudden upheaval and he fights through unbelievable concrete smacking action sequences to get everything right. If you are expecting this from Salman Khan Starrer Sultan, then you are expecting too much. This time it happens not in Dabangg style, but Yash Raj style.
Sultan (Salman Khan), famous for many self-indulgent reasons, is an underdog trying to settle down at the age of thirty, suddenly bumps into an English rose Afraan (Anushka Sharma). He tries to woo her with his ‘Prem’ s…

Trekking and survival Camping at Prashar Lake

Image
I received the Whatsapp message on 13 Feburary 2018 about  ‘A trek and survival camp trip’ Offer from 16th to 19th Feburary  from a travel company. I came to know that trekkers would be staying in tents  on layers of snow at -7 degree temperature, I shared this idea with my friend and we got excited and he said “Chal yaar chalte hain (Let’s Go Dude)”. Finally, we decided and arranged all necessities, especially the trekking shoes and Bags.  On 16th we completed  our tasks and we were eagerly waiting for evening. And the time arrived around 5.30 in the evening we board the tour company’s bus from Patiala Bus stand.


Bus Journey  The bus was full of college Students with cheering, laughing, shouting, singing and later they started dancing suddenly. I thought why they started dancing on our arrival in the Bus. But then I realized that the trip started from that point. Girls, as usual, were gleaming with layers of makeup, seemingly they were going to their close cousin’s wedding, but anyho…

Book Review: Know Thyself by Gian Kumar

Image
-Deep Jagdeep Singh- What is spirituality? Gian Kumar takes us into the world of spirituality, through very simple path, that is called ‘Us’. Word ‘Thyself’, an archaic form of word yourself, is itself a striking word which grabs our attention and takes us deep within our body, mind and soul.  These are the three elements which Gian Kumar, project as the basic foundation of spirituality throughout the book. He emphasizes on the fact that to get through the mystical world of spirituality we need no saffron cladding gurus, mythological mantras or some out of the world practices.  What we need is serious introspection and sincere efforts to know ourselves from within.  Best part of the Gian Kumar’s philosophy is that he doesn’t suggest ending up at extreme shores of the life. Instead, he suggests having a right balance between spirituality and material necessities. This balance begins from the cover of the book. On the black background embossed laminated feather adds up glistening effect…

A decision that saved a life

Image
When I was studying in the 3rd semester of MBA in Punjabi University, Patiala around October 2010, one evening, I rode my bike back home after a daily workout from Thapar University to Dukhniwaran Sahib Gurudwara Road, I saw a small puppy running very fast, on my left. It seemed that he had lost or had been abandoned by his family, siblings and his mother. He might be running madly and fast to reunite with them. Being an animal lover, I got a bit worried about this beautiful creature and slowed down my bike. I called the puppy, but he stopped only for a while and then again started running, now he went in the middle of the road towards the divider to go to the other side of the road. It was quite a busy road as four wheelers, minibuses and trucks were passing. I pulled over my bike, thinking that I should help the puppy to cross the road else he might be crushed under any vehicle. 



He was too small to climb over the divider, but when I reached there the puppy managed to climb up t…
