The fast has to be concluded with drinking water infused with Tulsi

As per Ayurveda, this is given to remove the impurities accumulated by your system the following day through excretion synonymous to elixir

I used to wonder with metric standard and terminologies from West

"Business as usual" but never "Life as usual"

Ease of doing business not Ease of living

Strong business fundamentals but not strong family fundamental
Profit improvement never wage incremental

Business standard but never social standard

Consistent growth but never consistent pain endurance
Elite range never poor mans choice

Social strata but never equivocal strategy

Gender gap never about pay/wage gap

Successful among a lot but never all were successful

2020 is a year of simplicity and frugality due to government and uncertainty due to the pandemic

Let's try to help out those who are really in need by helping them within our capacity

It may be buying a set of dress, buying some grocery for festive savouries or sweets
Buying them their medicine or paying for their little life insurance

These chaps are wary of government and they feel stigmatised by government officials whenever some benevolent scheme are announced for them
These folks are the unsung contributors of our society and welfare

They don't go out to streets and protest or turn out to be criminals like how they do in West

They take the burden with smile and keep doing the routine despite any odds thrown at them
