This is one video from Dhoni that changed my approach to work
I used to be a night owl earlier.
Now I simply align with what the work demands, early if required, late if needed.
@CricCrazyJohns@BCCI@JayShah@IPL should recognize this. Hyderabad’s hospitality is truly world class & scheduling more such events including #icc cric events will only strengthen India’s position on the global sporting stage🏆🇮🇳 @SunRisers
I really wish someone had told me this in my 20s.
By the time we reach our 30s and 40s, many of us start seeing different dotors and almost all of them ask the same question: “Do you have a desk or computer job?”
And it’s not surprising :
- Orthopedist: Posture issues from long hours of sitting in non-ergonomic setups
- Ophthalmologist: Vision changes from staring at screens
- Gastroenterologist: GERD, acidity, and digestion problems
- Psychiatrist / Wellness experts: Stress, burnout, weight issues
- General health: Lack of movement leading to obesity and fatigue
All of these linked back to the job and the work we have. For some of us, its non-negotiable and we have to work.
Over the years, I’ve made a few small lifestyle changes that have helped me a lot. Sharing them in case they help you too:
Pick-up a physical actity - One activity, everyday 1 hour where you let your body release the rigidness from sitting long hours - I picked up swimming.
Invest in an ergonomic workspace - Get a good chair, proper desk height, supportive lighting, and a setup that doesn’t strain your neck or back.
Stick to consistent meal timings - For example, I eat lunch by 12 PM and dinner by 6:30 PM, no matter how busy I am. It really helps digestion and energy levels.
Take regular breaks: Stand up, stretch, or walk for a minute every 30–60 minutes. It makes a huge difference.
Reduce unnecessary screen exposure: Use blue-light filters, keep screens at eye level, follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 mins, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds), and try to limit screen time outside work.
Stay hydrated
Most desk jobs make us forget water. Keep a bottle nearby and drink regularly.

@socialepfo@LabourMinistry@mansukhmandviya@ShobhaBJP@PIB_India@mygovindia@socialepfo I am following up on my previous message regarding the issues with the EPF passbook feature and the pending interest credit for the financial year 2023–24. As of now, the passbook still remains inaccessible, and the interest has not been reflected yet.
She told me the same story again today… and I almost cut her off.
My mother was halfway through her usual story,the one where she and her siblings would walk miles to their farm, She comes from a proud farming family born into a house where the courtyard always smelled of mangoes, and where ghee, milk, and love were in abundance. She often tells me how her brother and sister drank a litre of milk every day, and how their kitchen never ran short of coconuts, dry fruits, or seasonal bounty - mangoes, karonda, jamun, bibbi, kare, bore fruits, cucumber, groundnuts…. I’ve heard it so many times, I could narrate it myself.
I was about to say, “Yes, Aai, you’ve told me this before.”
But just then, my wife glanced at me and softly said,
“Let her speak. Maybe today, she needs someone to really listen.”
So I stayed quiet. I nodded. I listened and not just to the words, but to her voice, her expressions, the way her eyes lit up when she remembered small details.
And in that moment, something hit me:
She’s not just telling a story.
She’s holding on to a memory.
To a version of herself that’s slowly fading.
Maybe she repeats them because they’re the only things that still feel clear.
Maybe, deep down, she’s afraid one day no one will remember them or her.
That evening, I sat a little longer with her.
I asked her more questions.
I held her hand as she spoke.
Because one day, the stories will stop.
And I know I’ll give anything just to hear them once more.
So if your parents or grandparents repeat their stories…
Don’t rush them. Don’t brush it off.
They’re not just talking.
They’re reaching out.
Listen before it becomes a memory you wish you had held on to longer.
