India Fights Back

-
India tries enforcing social distancing with national lockdown to flatten the coronavirus transmission curve and ease the health system. Further, states are using Section 144 of Criminal Procedure Code, the Epidemic Disease Act, 1897 and the Indian Penal Code for implementation. The government must fulfill essential requirements which did not happen during Janta curfew. Although it got a positive response, it was met with frenzy among migrant laborers. As they crowded trains trying to reach home before shutdown and many were stuck at the terminals as the train service was suspended. While these people are potential infectees and might have been helping to virus transmission. Now a similar situation can't be afforded ahead a week-long shutdown. It's the government's responsibility to provide socio-economically vulnerable and elderly people with enough medicines and other essential items to survive the lockdown.  Civic departments and NGOs can help in this regard. As per Periodic Labour Force Survey data for 2017-18,  about 55% of households have slim regular employment while 37% depend on casual labor as their major income source. Now the government must provide them with enough funds to sustain the restriction period, followed by support to preserve their employment. Besides, the main challenge will be the implementation of a system to prevent transmission when restrictions are relaxed. As WHO says, China, South Korea, and Singapore implemented strict shutdown followed by extensive testing. This will be the real test for India's national and State governments.

21 Writing Tips for New Writers

-
There is FIRST day of everything. No matter you are learning to drive, starting a blog or planning to write a book. You have to begin somewhere. Why not learn from those who had started earlier? It will give you a headstart and prevent you from committing mistakes.  1) Practice as Often as you Can ( Ian Martinez Cassmeyer ) To be good at something, you have to start doing it. Because by doing you know your weaknesses and then you can work on them. Take any famous sportsman or singer as an example, they could not reach where they are without practice. So do practice as much as possible.  2) Just Start ( Cady Hammer ) The first step is always difficult. You doubt yourself. Feel unsure if you can complete what you started or not.
