Exam fever is on

Exam fever is on

Come March and the whole nation is gripped with exam fever. Children apart parents are more worried and tensed because our whole system is based on tests and their results.

Effort should be made in understanding the concept and not rote learning. Understanding goes a long way whereas rote learning only makes us clear the exams.

Make notes ahead of the exams and not during exams.

Time management is very important with regular breaks and walks in between.
Develop positive attitude towards your studies. Get rid of all excuses. Set a goal and work towards it.
Only revision work should be done during exams. Sleep at least 7 hours at night before exam. Then your brain gives you the maximum output.

Practice previous year question papers thoroughly. Check with your teachers beforehand only for all kinds of doubts.

During exams stay focused, read the question twice before attempting it.
Don't look here and there as to what others are doing.

Attempt those questions that you know well first before pondering over what you don't know.
If in doubt just close your eyes for 2mins and relax. You will get the answer.
Chocolates and sweets help in reducing stress to quiet an extent. These can be taken in the breaks  to help the brain remember thing better, and reproduce them when required.

Feeling Stressed with Age - Here's the solution


First of all a very happy new year to all. New year brings in lots of positive vibes,thoughts and a desire to bring a change in our lives. Every new year also adds another year to our body and we realize that the jobs that we used to enjoy doing 4-5 years back feel a little cumbersome some - jogging, playing with our children, cooking a favourite meal etc. 


Some might experience chronic fatigue, legs feel like lead or for some concentrating on certain issues becomes difficult. All these things start making people irritable with themselves and also with people around them. 

 The question is why does this happen? 

 As we cross 40 (usually ) there is a decline in our hormone levels which causes forgetfulness, mental fatigue, loss of vigour, muscle weakness and decrease in muscle mass etc. We need to have a solution to tackle this problem.


  • Eat high fibre diet -wholegrain like bran chapattis, bajra/jowar porridge etc. 
  • Have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables especially in raw form like carrots,tomatoes, radishes,cucumbers, apples,strawberries, oranges etc. 
  • Reduce salt in your diet -pickles,papads, chips etc before the menstrual cycle
  • Exercise halfnhour 5 times a week. If you cannot take time out to exercise then make sure that you take stairs to office and keep getting up from your seat every half n hour probably to go and sit somewhere else.
  • Finally if symptoms keep getting worse contact homoeopathic doctors. You will find good relief from homoeopathic remedies
