Using the 108 Emergency Ambulance Service

By -
108 Emergency Ambulance Service is finally launched in Maharashtra. Better late than never. This service is based on the concept of Golden Hour to save lives of the people. As per this concept, If the person gets necessary medical help within one hour of traumatic injury or any other type of medical emergency, then the survival rates of such individuals increase significantly. 

So in short the time is of essence-Time is life! Knowing 'what not to do' becomes more important that 'what to do'

Dial 108 only when someone needs medical help coz it is our tax money that is supporting this venture.



  • You have no idea where the nearest healthcare center is (If you know any nearest hospital, take the person there immediately. Don't waste time calling 108)

  • You do not have vehicle to shift the person/s needing medical help

  • You do not know the exact place where you are (They will not be able to locate you if you do not know where you are)

Must Do



If you are part the crowd, don't assume that 'somebody' must have called. There is a good chance everyone is thinking the same. You do your bit to save a precious life.

Why Fitness Resolutions don't work

You probably know many people who took a weight loss resolution. They get on the band wagon of strict dieting, strenuous work out schedules, sauna baths and what not. These people literally kill them selves in order to loose weight. The cumulative list of restriction can be summarized as fallows: I will get up at 5 in the morning and go for walk/jog, work out at home/gym or do yoga etc. I will stop eating sweets. No to oily food and other fats.(30% of body composition is fat. Can you imagine body without fats?) I will go on 'No Carb' Diet I will stop drinking. I will eat only raw fruits and veggies. I will use sugar free sweeteners.(anything for Bips) I will not eat at parties.(Why go to parties at all?) What goes Wrong? First, your body is accustomed to a set of lifestyle, so when you make some changes it challenges your body. It is in human psyche to resist any change that comes its way. It becomes painful to sustain that change beca

In my previous post, What is Diabetes Mullitus , I have talked about type 2 diabetes. Now in this post I will be talking about few key things we can do to prevent the this lifestyle disorder. People who have any family history of diabetes will be able to do their bit in preventing this disease. We know that in Type 2 Diabetes: Body produces insulin Cells do not respond to insulin As a result glucose remains in the blood affecting other vital organs So there are two things that must be done in order to stop this Now the so called experts will accuse me of over simplifying the things here. But technically speaking, this is what doctors have been trying to do with the help of 'modern' medicines  after  one becomes diabetic.

The Right Sleeping Pattern

Why different people have different sleeping habits? Our bodies are designed in a way that requires intervals of rest after many activities that we undertake during the day. No wonder a good night's sleep is so important. There are many people who say that you need to go to bed at a particular time and wake up at certain times only. Often they recommend early rising which not best suited to most people. One book suggested rising at 5 in the morning.  These are the general perceptions about the sleeping habits and I have personaly experienced that such generalized approach doesn't hold true for a long. I decided to follow this suggestion. All was well for couple of days but soon I lost my patience and got back to my usual habit. Many people talk about habit. They are right but there is something more important than the habit itself -Your Sleeping Pattern. All of us have different biochemical clocks. What works well for some body, need not work for you. If you find out
