Unique and even ubiquitous stationery sets can make a nice gift to give simply because they are useful, highly functional and on top of that, they are not too expensive. They usually come with nice corresponding envelopes and other assortments for official or personal interaction such as sealing wax, stickers and pens or coloring markers. Here are some pertinent things to consider before you decide to give a stationery set:

• What is the style quotient of the person? For instance, is your gift recipient a female and will prefer more feminine styles? Or is it for someone who wants everything sleek and contemporary? Some people might be hesitant to use stationery that does not fit their personality so it is important to select stationary set that is appropriate for the recipient.

• Also, think of your budget. You could probably find expensive paper lined with gold leaf and costly golden-embossed or encrusted pens, but really, in the end, it’s just pens and paper.

• Paper quality is also an important factor. Most stationery sets will probably have good quality paper. However, you want to ensure that it does not comprise flimsy or very thin paper, which can be difficult to write on and looks cheap.

Finally, a nice touch could be added with personalized and monogrammed stationery. Have the recipient’s name or initials printed in fancy fonts on top of each sheet of paper or on pre-printed envelopes, making it a very personal and unique gift. Monogramming can add a classy touch to even a commonplace item. A thoughtfully selected stationery set can be a pleasure to receive.

Excuse 4: It is unsafe to give blood.
Fact: Blood banks assure that it is completely safe. All the blood collection sets and the lancets used for testing blood are sterile, used just once and later discarded.

Excuse 5: A blood bank would not want my blood since I am common ‘O’ group.
Fact: Blood banks constantly need donors of every blood group.

Excuse 6: I have recently been unwell. And I am anemic.
Fact: Just wait till you are fit again. If in doubt, contact a blood bank’s Medical Officers. They check for anemia before every blood donation.

Excuse 7: I am too busy and it is too inconvenient.
Fact: It only takes 10-15 minutes (every three months) to be a regular blood donor.

Each blood unit can be employed to save lives of up to six to eight patients.

The terror strike in Mumbai rattled people across the world. The gruesome strikes have left a deep scar on many innocent minds. To deal with the trauma, India’s leading Holistic Health & Fitness Guru Mickey Mehta has some invaluable tips on offer.

He notes that the person’s attitude matters most within the restrictive situation that he or she is caught in. When in a charged state of mind a few simple breathing exercises can help you cope.

Inhaling and exhaling in proper and rhythmic fashion can help calm your pulse and heart rate.

1. Anulom Vilom pranayam: Inhaling and exhaling through alternate nostrils
2. Bhramhari pranayam: Inhalation and long exhalation with humming sound

These two breathing techniques will help calm your nerves and will also help clear your mind to be more focused. The adrenalin rush during such times can result in palpitation and increased heart rate.

To counter this: - Take deep breaths through the nose - Exhale through the mouth - Make it a prolonged exhalation - Keeping your eyes closed, do simple meditation These simple breathing techniques will help to stay you well oxygenated and will ensure that your presence of mind is not impaired. You can thus stay calm and keep your sanity intact.

If you are caught in a jam or get cornered, spread out the food intake as well as the available quantities of water. It is possible to stay longer without food but water needs to last until you are rescued. The person should keep all these aspects in mind and be positive in your thinking, hoping for more favorable consequences. There is a need to think positive to tackle the tough times. Pass this message to your friends and colleagues so that they are mentally and physically prepared to deal with any unforseen, adverse circumstances.
