How to meditate every day

Anyone can practice meditation to boost mental and emotional health. What’s more, it’s simple and can be done anywhere, without special equipment. And here are a few tips to help you ensure that you do it on a daily basis:
  1. Begin with just 2 minutes a day: You can start with just 2 minutes a day - perhaps, you’ll find it much easier to stick to your practice. This can be beneficial especially in forming a longer-lasting habit. If you feel good about doing it, you can increase your meditation time gradually.
  2. Sit or lie comfortably: Simply sit on a pillow on the floor, or sit on a chair or couch - if you’re not comfortable sitting on the floor.
  3. Close your eyes: Using cooling eye masks or restorative eye pillows is recommended if you’re lying down.
  4. Focus on your breath: Pay attention to your breath as you inhale and exhale through your nostrils. Breathe deeply and slowly. If you find your mind wandering, gently return your focus to your breathing.
  5. Engage in prayer: According to Mayo Clinic, prayer is the best known and most widely practiced example of meditation.
Establishing and maintaining a daily meditation practice is a great way to reduce stress and improve your overall health and well-being even if it's just a few minutes a day.

Reliance launches e-commerce platform JioMart across several cities

           BY   DIVAKAR KUMAR PANDAY     Reliance has finally launched its e-commerce portal JioMart for several cities across India after running a pilot for limited pin codes in Mumbai, a move that is set to change the current positioning of the online grocery delivery service in India which is currently dominated by Bigbasket and Grofers. The service is live across Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Delhi, Bengaluru, Jaipur, Trivandrum and some tier II cities as well. During the pilot, JioMart was working with a WhatsApp business account. The JioMart website has listed essential grocery items as well as farm produce. The fruits and vegetables will be directly sourced from farmers that have collaborated with the brand.

Ever since the introduction of online teaching in Magadh University in mid-April, nearly 2000 e-contents have been uploaded to the university website, says vice chancellor Prof Rajendra Prasad and fresh uploads are being made for the benefit of students.

IIT Roorkee professor develops software to detect COVID19 in 5 second..

A professor at IIT-Roorkee has developed a software, which he claimed, can detect COVID-19 within five seconds. Kamal Jain IIT Roorkee’s Civil Engineering Department claimed that he took 40 days to develop the software, which will not only reduce time, but also testing costs drastically. At present, it takes about 24 to 48 hours to get COVID19 test results, and costs around Rs 4,500. The IIT professor also claimed that the new software will also reduce the risk of exposure to healthcare professionals. However, there has been no verification of his claim by any medical institution, including the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
