In the fast moving life we miss many moments, we forget many things. We have many sources of recreation. Whoever it may be, rich or poor, small or elder, man or woman everyone has some hobby. Many of us when asked about hobbies may have answers like listening to music, watching movies, playing a specific sport, reading and so on.

But many of us do not really care to preserve our hobbies as we go ahead in life, sometimes we even don’t know what our hobby was during our childhood!

Hobby is defined as “An activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation" 1

Continuing with my previous blog on safety with chemicals & hazards they can cause, I present here a blog that will give you information regarding various symbols used for chemical safety or to indicate the hazard they may cause.

Stress! The word itself describes what it has, what it gives & what it causes. Every day we face it, we hear it from all, we tell others “We are under stress!!!!!"

“You need not be a doctor to save someone’s life, just donate blood.”

This statement has a great meaning & has really touched many hearts, inspired many people to come ahead & donate blood.

My regards to each & every teacher who creates the statute of a student, moulds the mold & frames the future for the student. Teacher’s Day, a day which our Indian tradition used to celebrate as Guru Purnima has changed in its outlook today but has the same reason, to remind us of all our teachers & masters who show us the right path, who make us what we are.
