Friendship isn’t a big thing, it’s a million things. Friendship is an understanding between individuals with an implied mutual agreement to stand by each other at all times. The significance of “friends” can never be replaced. You always need friends to grow, to laugh ,to enjoy, to share and to care. It is all about whom you wanna run to when you are happy and sad. Friends are irreplaceable. They are the ones who encourage your presence, who are more than happy when you achieve something and they are equally sad when you face a failure.

The need for being loved and affiliation is with everyone. Nobody can stay alone and nobody wants to either. When two people click together it is where the bond starts. Lucky are those who have friends and that too real friends.Who do not pretend to be your friend but are true at heart. The friendship gets stronger with time you build trust and compatibility. For any relation to be successful understanding, trust, compatibility are the most important. Because otherwise there is a famous saying that a mobile without sim and a friendship without trust is the same,in both cases people play games. It is also not necessary to say that time is the accurate measure of a strong friendship it is the moments that you spend together counts.

Friends are partners in crime. Whether it be eating lunch between the lecture or bunking the lecture. Whether it is planning to get absent from school or standing outside the classroom for a common punishment. To celebrating birthday parties to career success parties, to watching the sunset or enjoying night outs, friends cherish them all. We think we are having fun but all we do is making memories. You tease each other but you will never let anybody ele tease your friend, you will fight with each other but you will never let anybody else get into a fight with your friend. This is what is friendship. Asking your best friend about what she is wearing for the party or stealing her bobby pins, it’s all these little things that make a big difference.

But there are times when you come across certain people called frenemies. Friends on your face but enemies behind and trust me they are more dangerous than your enemies. Because here you trust them and they betray you. It is said don’t fear the enemy that attacks you but fear the fake friend who hugs you. They use you for their own benefit and and only smile to your face but inside they just envy you and your success. “KAPTI MITR” is something synonymous to a frienemy.

Nevertheless, friends are an integral part of life and it is difficult to stay without them. As you grow older your friendship matures and there will also be times when you will not be able to contact your best of friends daily but then there will be an existence of a mutual understanding. Where your friends know that you people are grown ups and are just a call away. Even if you meet after a week nothing changes you will sill be the same crackpots you were.

So always choose your friends wisely. Focus on quality rather than quantity.Keep the ones that heard you when you never said a thing. Just like “tune jo na kaha mai vo suntan raha” because that is what friends do not only feel but also listen your emotions. When they realize the pain behind your smile ,when they can look straight to your face and tell that something is wrong with you. They read between the lines. And if they don’t may be you need to rethink on your choice of “friends”.

Humans who have a dog but cannot afford to get it fixed or spayed, which leads to unwanted puppies. Humans who get a dog and find it not to fit into their lives anymore and choose to get rid of it are the problem.

We’ve all seen it in movies and on TV shows: overjoyed children tearing into a perfectly wrapped present, only to discover a smiling puppy jumping out of the box. While it seems cute in theory, it can end up being a huge disaster – for the animal as well as the owner. Whether you’re considering springing a pup on your kids or giving your significant other a cute kitten, here’s why you should think twice.

All over the world shelters are swamped with dogs and cats being returned by owners who weren’t fully prepared for raising an animal. Sadly, abandoned pets in shelters are often euthanized.

It takes next to no time at all for a puppy to suffocate, so don’t even consider putting him in a box. You might think it’ll make a cute picture, but it’s not worth the risk. Plus, most people like to hide presents before the unveiling, so even if you planned on skipping the box, sticking a puppy in a garage, basement or closet can still lead to suffocation and anxiety.

They are not a new toy for your child to play with. As presented in commercials and movies that show an adorable kid lifting the lid of a box to reveal a new puppy or kitten.  But what those ads don’t show you is what happens later: The child gets bored with the pet, starts to forget about it, slacks on chores like feeding, picking up after them, and giving them lots of playtime.  The parents then have to pick up the slack, and oftentimes, the pet is returned, given away, or taken to a shelter.  Kids have notoriously short attention spans, and giving them a living creature is nota  good way to teach responsibility.

Losing your home and being abandoned by your family is stressful, scary, and traumatising for anyone, whether you’re a human, dog, cat, or rabbit.

Unfortunately giving a pet as a gift, portrays the sentiment that this living, breathing thing may be just one more thing the kids can outgrow this year.  Pets are not disposable, they are a lifelong commitment that will require a lot more maintenance than the presents wrapped under the tree.  Giving pets as presents can teach children that they are more of a commodity than a responsibility. 

Many people view pets as commodity items  – they are viewed as a new toy or something to play with. In reality, pets require a great deal of care and they can eat up a lot of your time. Countless numbers of pets are given up to shelters or taken in for euthanasia due to “behavior problems” that could have easily been prevented.

Before you buy that fluffy puppy in the window at the pet store as a Christmas gift for your child or loved one, think carefully about whether it is really the right choice. Tragically, countless pets given as holiday gifts end up in the shelter system and many of them never end up finding a new home. If you do decide to give a pet as a gift, put the time and forethought into the decision.

Leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act toward achieving a common goal. In a business setting, this can mean directing workers and colleagues with a strategy to meet the company’s needs.Leadership in business is the capacity of a company’s management to set and achieve challenging goals, take fast and decisive action when needed, outperform the competition, and inspire others to perform at the highest level they can.It can be difficult to place a value on leadership or other qualitative aspects of a company, versus quantitative metrics that are commonly tracked and much easier to compare between companies. Leadership can also speak to a more holistic approach, as in the tone a company’s management sets or the culture of the company that management establishes.Leadership is setting and achieving goals, tackling the competition, and solving problems decisively and quickly.Leadership also refers to the tone a company’s management sets in terms of the corporate culture.

Leadership has nothing to do with management
In the business world, we often equate “leadership” and “management.” We tend to recognize upper-management as the leaders of our organization. But the fact of the matter is that the two concepts have almost nothing to do with each other. Good managers can be terrible leaders, and not every leader possesses the practical skills to make a solid manager.Leadership can be present at any level of an organization, from the entry-level associate to the CEO. That’s one of the most powerful aspects of leadership: it’s open to everyone. All it takes is a willingness to raise your hand and the capability to inspire others to reach their potential.

Directing
The function of directing is linked with leadership,  motivation,  communication, and supervision to ensure that employees perform their activities in the most efficient manner, to achieve the desired goals.The leadership element includes giving instructions and guiding the team members about methods and procedures.The communication has to be open both ways to ensure that the information can be passed to the team members and their feedback can be received as well.Motivation is very important. The highly motivated people show outstanding performance with minimum direction from their superiors.Supervising team members leads to continuous progress reports as well as assure the superiors that the directions are being followed properly.

Simple is Better
Communication involves the exchange of information between the speaker and the listener. Employing effective communication skills allows you to teach, guide, manage and direct those who look to you for support. Complex messages may go unheard due to the listener’s inability to understand the message. Effective leaders must transmit complex messages in simple terms to achieve message clarity. This process also involves listening to the receiver to understand how to formulate the message.

Leaders must always be learners
There’s no magical level of leadership acumen you can attain that allows you to stop working at it. The workplace itself is a dynamic place, now more than ever; changing mindsets and innovative technologies and trends create an ever-evolving work environment. Workplace leaders who don’t commit to evolving alongside that environment will quickly stagnate.Making a commitment to bettering yourself as a leader is also a commitment to bettering those around you. If you’re passionate about becoming an effective leader, don’t ever let yourself become complacent.


Be Real
Good leaders deal with the illness, not the symptoms. Understand that short-term solutions guarantee the recurrence of the problem. Leaders must face reality, recognize their role in the crisis and understand that bad can turn worse. Anticipate and restructure for the worse to stay ahead. Use a crisis as building tool to get things done.

Leadership is a team sport
The very notion of a leader places someone on their own, separate from the pack, motivating and guiding the other members of a team. But leadership is not a solo endeavor. The essence of leadership is acting through others. It cannot be done or achieved in a vacuum.To truly succeed as a leader, you need the capacity to empathize and identify with those around you. You have to learn to interact with unique individuals in unique ways in order to connect and collaborate with them effectively.

Confidence
To be an effective manager, you need to be confident in your skills, experience, and decisions. It does not mean that you should be arrogant or feel that you are better than your employees. It means you are part of management for a reason and you should be proud of it and be an inspiration for your team members.


True leadership sees where the company is headed and plans the steps needed to get there. Visualizing what is possible, following trends in the industry, and taking risks to grow the business are all required of leaders.Productive leadership shows optimism and provides positive energy for staff. Good leaders are supportive and are truly concerned about the well-being of others. Leaders find answers to challenges and reassure and inspire workers when things go awry. Leaders find ways for staff to work together and achieve maximum results in an efficient and effective manner.

Union Minister for Chemical  and Fertilizers Shri D V Sadananda Gowda has lauded the contribution of Indian pharma industry during the testing time of COVID expressing confidence that Indian pharma industry will be among the first one to develop and supply low cost vaccines for this pandemic.

Shri Gowda was addressing a Webinar organised by Invest India Pharma Bureau and Department of pharmaceuticals on  #EIF2020 Medical Devices and Pharmaceutical Sector Edition – unravelling the investment potential, Gol initiatives, infrastructure & emerging opportunities in the sector through video conferencing yesterday evening.

Union Minister also stresse that Indian pharma and medical devices industry were able to rise to the occasion. He added, “It is matter of great pride for me and millions of Indians that from being a net importer, India has become second largest producer of PPE Kits in the world with daily production capacity surpassing more than 5 lakh per day.  

Similarly in case of ventilators, within a very short span of time, indigenous production capacity has increased to 3 lakh per annum. In addition, India did not face any scarcity of medicines, prices of medicines remained stable throughout. This was achieved due to active cooperation among various Departments and agencies of the Central Government, State Governments and private sector, Shri Gowda said.

Stressing on the need of development of indigenous capacity in Medical devices Shri Gowda said, “it is very important as it has a crucial role to play in improving accessibility and affordability of healthcare especially with respect to availability of precision devices for screening and diagnosis, advanced surgical equipment needed for treatment, and devices for monitoring of health indicators, among others.”

He further said under the leadership of  Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Department of Pharmaceuticals has taken several measures to create enabling environment for development of domestic capacity in pharma and medical deivice sector and has decided to support the development of three bulk drug parks and four medical devices parks across the country in coordination with State Governments and private sector. The objective is to make India self reliant in production of 53 critical APIs or Key Starting Materials (KSMs), and in production of medical devices, for which India is crucially dependent upon imports. 

Shri Gowda said that he is very much sure  that these  parks will be able to attract significant investment as well as latest technology.  Within a period of 2 -3 years, due to business friendly policies of Union Government under leadership of Shri Narendra Modi, pharma sector will become atmanirbhar, not only in sense of meeting domestic requirements but also for fulfilling global demand of low cost – high quality medicines and medical devices. It is expected that these schemes of Union Government for development of bulk drug & medical device park will attract cumulative investment of Rs 78000 crore and can generate about 2.5 lakh employment.

The transcript of his speech is as follows;

Chair & Honorable Ministers

The current pandemic and the global crisis arising out of that highlights, more than ever, the need for national and global solidarity.

Flattening the curve globally will require international, multisectoral collaborative efforts to ensure that health systems across the world are able to maintain sufficient capacity to address the flux of complicated COVID-19 cases and protect the vulnerable and elderly in the world population.

We need to focus on creating effective health systems for improved pandemic preparedness. While all the other action plans are a response to a pandemic, a well-developed healthcare system can support even in containing the pandemic.

There is a need to ensure that access to COVID-19 diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines is fair and equitable. Access to protection should not be a factor of ability to pay.

India with a history of frugal and quality manufacturing will continue to play its role through our Make-In-India and Make-for the World endeavor and will support fully the development of research and digital capabilities for managing delivery.

We all need to capitalize on existing programs such as the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A), and ensure equitable global access to diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines, while strengthening health systems.

Inspired by experiences of previous outbreaks such as SARS in 2003 and Ebola in 2014–2015, global solidarity is a must in order to prevent further morbidity and mortality. Examples in leadership and collaborations should be celebrated as examples to follow. Open communication and transparency will be crucial in monitoring the evolution of the disease in the global effort of flattening the curve.

India is committed to Universal Healthcare Coverage and in these stressful times, India stands together with the world to realize the shared mission to save lives and protect people’s health, and to re-energize the global economy at the earliest.

This is also a time for decisive public health leadership and for preparing for future waves and the post-COVID-19 era

Public health leaders must look beyond borders. Only by learning from the global experience in our battle against a virus that respects no borders, can we honour the lives already lost and implement life-saving measures for current and future patients.
