BEWARE of Short Dated Medicines Sold at Pharmacies

Always check the expiry date of medicines when you are purchasing it, because it can very  well be short dated (close to the expiry date) or even spoilt. As, my friend's baby was ill she was giving her a prescribed medication which was an oral suspension that she had bought from the  LAUGFS Sunup Supermarket Pharmacy , but  after giving him 6 doses to her horror she figured that the medication was short dated (expiry date was 5/2013) and was spoilt. She had gone immediately and complained regarding the SPOILT MEDICINE and the LAUGFS Sunup Supermarket Pharmacist said that 5/2013 means that the medicine is good till the end of May but on checking the contents of the medicine admitted that it was indeed spoilt and refunded the money. They also said that they will take off all such short dated medicines from the counter. If they had simply taken off such short dated medicines from the counter in the first place they could have always avoided mishaps; but, they are sim

BEWARE of Standard Chartered Bank (SCB)

Don’t we bank our money so that we can have the peace of mind knowing that it is safe, while having the assurance that our money is growing through the interest earned? On the flip side are there not occasions when you need to withdraw a greater part of the money to spend it on some necessity? I one day awoke to the rude shock to discover that my money at Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) had drastically gone down rather than grow. When I checked with the bank they informed me that as my balance was below the stipulated amount (Rs.25,000/-) the bank charged a whooping sum of Rs.650/-per month as "Charges for Non-maintaining minimum balance".

Live, Love & Laugh

The dawning of each new day is a miracle by itself; but with it brings change that goes unnoticed. After all with each day we are getting a day older, growing up and growing older. Age is just a number so there is no reason to take life too seriously. What is important is that we make the maximum out of life and enjoy it while we can. So make sure that you really LIVE LIFE to its fullest without being too caught up in the rat race of life because,  Yesterday is a memory, Tomorrow is a dream All you have is here and NOW. So LIVE , LOVE and LAUGH ……..

Hair Colour vs. Salt & Pepper Look

When I was a kid I had the impression that white hair equals old, but now that I have grown up and have silver threads of my own and even though they have come earlier than expected I think on a different note; as in “What the heck why not grow old gracefully?”.  Not, like colouring your hair but when you don’t maintain it and colour it regularly, it looks like hell…. What are your thoughts?   Is the salt and pepper hair look better for men than women Or is colouring better?

Hi Again

Wow, it’s been simply ages since I last blogged, four and a half years to be precise. I am happy to be back again but am not sure that I will have the time to blog so often like those days due to family commitments. My little angel consumes quite a bit of my time when I get back from work so time is scarce; but I enjoy every bit of life with my family and couldn’t have wanted anything different.   I will be back with a post soon.
