Good Habits for a great day
Waking up shouldn't be a pain
The first step to a life changing start should begin without snoozing your alarm clock. The urge to get up and kick start the day should be the only stimulus for you.

Dear Swapnil, Thanks for highlighting and reminding the ideal parameters for leading a healthy life. But what should be the corrected parameters for people living in a metro like Delhi/NCR? Spending 3/4 hours by travelling 40 to 80 Kms on crowded and polluted roads of East-Delhi-Gurgaon or West-Delhi-Noida Sector-62? Still working Senior Citizens who are virtually thrown out of ques while boarding Metro by lakhs of under- 35 indisciplined , so called future citizens of this country? Buying artificially coloured fruits,vegetables and pulses?or buying polluted vegetables grown in Yamuna waters from road-sides of NH-24, or grown in Polluted Hindon waters from Ghaziabad? Walking in environments(Anand Vihar,Punjabi Bagh, R.K.Puram) where RSPMs are 19 times more than the permissible norms? Happily working in Private Limited Companies under constant vigilant eyes of CCD cameras, reporting attendance through computer-recorded Bio-Metric attendance systems in the unhealthy basements where there is scarce ventilation, where medical leaves are absent from their dictionaries? ....... Thanks. more
