  Today is Bijaya dashamai,also known as Dussehra, Dasara or Dashain is the major festival celebrated at the end of Navratri.Devotees put tika on the forehead,pray and burn the effigy of Ravana. It is the Victory of Good over Evil. In our organisation we celebrate this day in a different way.We undertake cleaning drive and do thorough cleaning of the departments. We ensure that the unwanted items are disposed off. The building gets a new look as our houses get at the time of Deepawali. On this auspicious day foundation stone for one of our block ie Marwari Maternity was laid in the year 1985. The key members distribute fruits to the patients. On this day housekeeping departments takes the lead role. After   fruit distribution we have delicious "Jalebi", after day's hard work  it's a big feast for us. This year it is little different, one of our ex HK member lost her life. I remember in the month of August 2020 the housekeeping team came to my office and i...

I guess one can feel how the day started...I hardly had sleep..I couldn't understand how things will be sorted out.... husband rang me up informed that he would be shifted to Khanapara quarantine centre by 10.30 am, I told him to be cool and handle the situation.........we were worried about our daughter.....till date one of us was always available with her but today we both had to leave ... I prayed to God to give us strength to handle the situation...my husband was little concern for me as I still had throat irritation...I told him not to worry and take care of himself.... It would be not justifiable if I don't thank our Pharmacy in - charge Ms Plabita who arranged Chawanprash, rnenthol, honey so that I could get myself relieved from throat irritation...and  the medicines which was prescribed by the on-duty doctor..the canteen boy who was kind enough to bring dinner from my hospital so that I could have better food and get relieve at the earliest.. I am really thankful to the...

5 days has passed today is the 6th day....got up early did anulom vilom....... trying my best to get rid of my throat irritation. It was observed that some patients had symptoms and hence treatment was done accordingly....but few had no symptoms initially....but during stay they developed symptoms. Doctors visited patients on regular basis.... but the doctor who had visited today listened to the patient patiently...he visited each patient's bedside and prescribed medicines Every body appreciated his approach.....we enjoyed the breakfast..it was Puri, Rajma,egg, tea...in the lunch we had chicken....it was tasty. I remember at home due to lockdown we could hardly have chicken, fish, we had to limit ourself to Alu Pitika, Jika,karela..bhaji...We were thankfull to the govt that they have been arranging such nutritious food in quarantine centres even during lockdown. My colleague who was in Khanapara informed that she was happy with the facilities provided to the patients , it was like ...
