Sun burns on banana - Banana burns???

I went out with my family for some work and parked the car under direct sun as it was open ground and there is no shaded parking available. I carried some banana with me and left the remaining inside the car. After coming back 4 hours later, I found banana peels got burnt as above. For comparison, two bananas which I carried with me are shown adjacent. Only peels turned black and inside, fruit is good though some softening took place. Outside temperature was 40 degree Celsius. The window panes were kept about 0.5 inch down from the top instead of fully closing while leaving the car to allow escape of hot air. Still, the above incident took place. I do not know what will happen, if we sit for four hours in the car in those conditions. Atleast second degree burns!!! We have to give a thought about safety against sun exposure and sun stroke.

Playing in the mud is good for health

An article in a vernacular daily says that allowing children to play outside is good for them in all respects. Playing with others leads to developing bond. Mud smell keeps the mind pleasant. Playing outside helps them to understand nature. The brain activity increases as they make some pictures, dolls, etc with mud. Further, the mud contains good bacteria that increases body resistance to diseases. So, says the article as per the doctors in Mumbai.
Whereas video games make the children to be aloof, to stay indoors, eating all junk food while playing leading to obesity and other health problems.

Disastrous effects of sitting for long hours

 Sitting is the new smoking - a health alert in Times of India daily reads. As per research for 15 years studying the effects of sitting for long hours, it is found that sitting for more than four hours causes obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, multiple cancers, etc. It is advised to set an alarm to go around and have some exercise. Sitting makes metabolic system to sleep whereas small movements will help to keep metabolic system recharged.
My ex-boss (20 years ago), used to take water as soon as he comes to office and relieves pressure in half-hour to one hour. Before coming to seat, he will take a glass or two of water and resumes work. This makes him to get up again after sometime. I find this is very good method to avoid sitting for long, immersed in the work.
However, with my personal experience, I used to hold the pressure for sometime (even 3 hours) because of work pressure. I do not know the health effects, but definitely not good for the body.

Let us thank those who find our mistakes

We will be hurt and get irritated too when somebody points out our mistakes. This happens in our annual performance assessment report, audits, discussions (arguments?) with colleagues / partners / spouse / children / etc.

However, there is a saying, "It is easy to find mistakes in others, Difficult to find our own mistakes".

When we take it positively, look at it with a peace of mind, we feel we should thank those who find our mistakes because they have done our job.

As per another saying, " a problem found is as good as half of the work is done, we only have to find a solution". The problem is our inability to find the problem.

Recently, I watched a movie titled, "Hot Shots! Part Deux" in TV. A dialogue in the movie is, 'we all have permission to make mistakes. It is called learning".

A long time patient sometimes, is better than a doctor.

Learning from past accidents (mistakes) is what we should do. Like we can't have life long schooling, we can't be continuous learners, making same mistakes again and again. We have to learn from our mistakes and those of others who suffered.

Safety officers/inspectors during inspection / audit find the deficiencies and communicate to plant in-charges. Plant in-charges should thank these lot for finding the deficiencies and for helping them to work for a better workplace.
