Today was a hectic day.
The morning started with looking at the Union Budget 2018 in the office
boardroom. If it were not enough, the actual task had just started - preparing
quotes, texts and guest columns on behalf of the company’s MD and Business Unit
Heads that would then find their place in the various newspapers or news
websites. Quotes, unquote, interpretation of the various rebates and
deductions, explaining how the incumbent government’s decision concerning the country’s
health with its effect on the Indian population in the long run was the order
of the day. Applauding certain proposals made in the budget while subtly
criticizing some of its amendments or explaining the keystones in the budget
were the highlight that consumed most of my time.
It was fulfilling as
much as it was tiring - feeling ecstatic after having able to submit all the
articles on time and seeing one of the articles being published in a reputed
news website within few minutes. Now that I am done with my entire day’s work,
I suddenly feel a shot of pain in my back. This feeling is not something new to
people like me who spend hours glued to their seats in front of their
computers. Sedentary lifestyle has its own way of affecting health adversely.
