Positive thinking



"The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.”
                                                                                                - By Winston Churchill  
It happens with almost all of us that when something wrong happens, we start feeling gloomy and try to blame the things on the head of other people, situations or circumstances. We are afraid of taking responsibility of our own acts and, in this act we divert our potential to a wrong direction and try to find out the best reason which can defend our failure.

When we blame things on others, it makes us feel like a victim of our own destiny. We feel weak and powerless. There is one incidence in my life, which has changed the entire way of my thinking. After completing class XII, I dropped one year and took coaching classes for medical entrance exams. But unfortunately, I couldn’t clear it in spite of putting my all efforts. I was in depression and incised my social life. At that time my mother and my sister inspired me a lot and helped me in coming out of that difficult phase in my life. They made me believe in my strength and my personality was changed from that day. Now I believe in myself and I start taking responsibility of everything that happens to me instead of blaming things on “luck” or “God”. (Thanks a lot "Mom" and "Shikha" for making my life beautiful).

You don't have the control on what happens with you, but by controlling your negative response towards failure you can emerge as a true hero. Take the responsibility of your deeds; it will make you action oriented. You will see that just by adopting positive attitude, your mind will start working towards the solution rather than finding excuses for the problems.

"Everything happens for a reason"


“Everything happens for a reason. Every action has a reaction. Always remember that what’s meant to be will always find a way to come about.”
                                                                                                   Author - Unknown
Sometimes in our lives, when we are feeling low due to some difficult circumstances, we think this “Why only me is facing this situation while my friends/colleagues are in a better position and are enjoying their lives”.
From my personal experiences, I truly believe that “Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves you.” At times things seem to be bad but when you look back you know there was a good reason why that happened. I feel when we accept what we have and where we are, the intense peace and power that we get enable us to overcome the toughest situation in life.
May we all realize that life is fair and beautiful and we should enjoy its each and every moment..

Basic Steps To Comply With Different Environmental Regulations


Now day’s chemical industries are struck in a complex loop of different regulations. The compilation with these regulations becomes difficult for large chemical companies due to lack of regulatory harmonization. For importing or manufacturing the same chemical in different countries, a chemical company has to follow different procedures. Due to this, these laws are facing stiff resistance from industries. The chemical industry specific regulation list is long. Some of the important regulations and their requirements are: REACh, WEEE, RoHS, GHG management, UN framework for a globally harmonized system of classification and labeling (GHS).

Chemical sector can reduce the burden in complying with different environment regulations by following below mentioned some essential steps:

  • Collect and maintain data of every chemical that you produce or import.
  • Find out and fill the data gaps by adopting appropriate ways.
  • Design and develop efficient data management system
  • Do assessment of risks and dangers posed by your chemicals on to the human health and environment.
  • Adopt the new non-biological techniques for predicting the toxicity of chemicals rather than biological models. This step prevents unnecessary animal testing at the same time it is economical as well.
  • Choose environmental friendly manufacturing techniques.
  • Adopt “green chemistry” and generate new ways to make your products eco-friendly.
  • Keep track of all the latest changes in the environmental regulatory field.

The best advice is still the simplest - comply fully as soon as possible. To do otherwise can harm your business and the environment.

I miss my college days…



 

In this busy world we often take
those closest to us for granted,
and we don't stop to tell them what's in our hearts...
But today seems like the perfect time to tell you how special you are
and how very much you mean.

College days are the most memorable element in anybody’s life. I have spent two years in Jamia Hamdard and blindly I can say that it was the best part of my life. In those two years I met many people. I was attached to many…. I discovered a new me - more confident, extrovert and self dependent.
All I can recall is that first seminar when I was shivering with stage fear….those farewells and fresher party we organized…hanging out at Alkananda and NFC market…B’day parties… bunking classes especially of epidemiology and ecotoxicology...dance rehearsals…frequent semester exams and so on….Life was always fun and exciting in Jamia.
Those two years of my life were really good….I met many who contributed to my life in one or the other way…I would love to mention the names of my few friends who were always there for me for any help….I can call them as my 4 am friends…
Manish oops sorry Poku Singh – very helping, supportive, and one can contact him for organizing any sort of trips, party, get-together…:)
Saba-She understands my silence also and I don’t know how she comes to know about my inner feelings….I have no words to describe her importance in my life
Ejaz- Great neurotoxic element in our group…India’s upcoming noble award winner
Sunil-great quiet man…He is also an upcoming Indian scientist from our tox group :)
Priyanka, Surbhi, Aiman, Hemant, Tufail…list is endless…..
Oops this list would be incomplete without the name of two important people in my life. Though they are not from Jamia, but play a very important role in my life:
Kuldeep- very helping and supportive in nature….
Shikha Sharma - my friend list is incomplete without Shikha…In Jaypee she was my best pal…...we spent maximum time together and irritated Kuldeep by playing different pranks..;)
It is very difficult to expect something from other people apart from your family members. I am one lucky person who is blessed with such kinds of people :)
Today life is full of commitments, deadlines and too many worries. But those cherished moments we spent in Jamia will live forever in our memories. I just wish all my friends and classmates all the best for their future endeavors….
