Working Remotely? Do you check your email tone?


On October 10 when everyone is talking about mental health, most of us tend to talk about our personal life. However, what about professional life? 

The way one conducts herself/himself in the workplace can have a huge impact on others, and generally, it has a snowball effect! 

With work from home (WFH) being a common scenario these days, the exchange of communication digitally has skyrocketed, be it WhatsApp, Telegram, and most importantly email.

Think before you press 'Send'! 

As per recently published research in the Journal of occupational health, rude work emails can have a negative impact on sleep quality, employee productivity, and mental wellness.

Before you hit send, ask yourself, would I feel comfortable communicating this way if I were in person? How would I feel if this email is sent to me? And then rephrase, if needed.

Working professionals, make your email tone as neutral as possible, without eroding the intent of your communication.

Big Boss: Nothing but a pointless show with a stupid host

In the midst of the Sushant Singh Rajput death case and the nepotism debate, people have decided to boycott Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 14. Salman has been bearing the brunt of these trolls ever since he has shared the first teaser. In nutshell the show is nothing but a bunch of loosers who were kinda popular for a very short amount of time for one or the other reason! Dhinkchak Pooja.. seriously?  Salman - Host? Nope! Favouritism Moreover, the host of the show, Mr. Salman Khan is a very judgmental person, and he expects and wants everyone to respect him, and if one doesn't, we can see list of people who went on record to say how Salman destroyed their careers!!! Well, Salman thinks that he has the right to pass judgment over those people, and is surely biased when it comes to making his judgemental remarks. Big Boss - Negative | Negative | Negative It might have been entertaining for many people but have you ever thought that what value does it add to your life? What are...

RAISE YOUR PAW :- #StopYulin2015

Many of you might be wandering what’s this Yulin festival all about. Peeps, Over 10,000 dogs every year in southern china are tortured alive, skinned alive, boiled alive, even cut/stabbed and then been ultimately eaten. This `festival` is not a festival as the name suggests, The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is, contrary to what many might believe, not even a tradition. It was initiated only in the 1990's by the corrupt looking to find a way to profit off the selling of lychee. Perhaps you might be wandering why the slaughter of Cattle, Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, Ducks and all the Fish don’t get so much of focus too , guys the case here is not of being eaten and killed but the Dogs are killed for the "pleasure" of taste and "diversity" of meats. These animals are tortured as much as possible, deliberately. They are skinned alive, and then they are cooked alive. Again, let me repeat that the torture is deliberate. In fact, it is the entire point of the dog & cat me...

Tanishq pulled down ad: Sounds business decision, no need to search for missing spine!

On Monday an advertisement showing interfaith harmony is aired, Tuesday it is backlashed brutally by netizens across social media platforms, and on Wednesday the company pulls down the advertisement from across its platforms. To release an ad like that, in today's 'intolerant' political environment, was a gamble, to begin with. There's no way the marketing executives at Tanishq expected the advertisement to go unnoticed. Why then give in to the bullying and take the video down? The simple answer is plain business. A company dealing in the jewelry industry can't afford to hurt the sentiments of a particular community which tends to be a good base of its customers, especially around the Diwali season.  The main aim of the advertisement like many others is to increase brand value and better sales figures. If the video appears to miss the target, rather backfire, then it is a sound business call to pull down the advertisement.  Now, some groups accusing the brand and Ra...
