How bad was your day today?

Today, time is a precious commodity & we are out to make the most if it. We try to do our best in a limited amount of time within the day. Some times we succeed, many times we don’t.
If the day goes well, we are too stressed thinking about the other challenges that come up with the success.
But if things don’t go our way, the impending sense of doom takes over, along with the frustration & self doubt that comes with it.
Either way, the best time we get to think about this is our commute time. Yes, that time when we feel everyone else exists simply to block our way on the road as we makes our plans or cope with your failure and try to find a way ahead.
And we also learn to ignore all the horns blasting around us & concentrate on our destination. In that noise, the wails of life also get lost. In the midst of our self-centred thoughts. we rarely hear the desperate siren of an ambulance trying to find a way through.
In our defence, nobody knows our troubles or what we have been through that day. Not giving way to an ambulance--we may say it was a momentary lapse of judgement because of all the noise going on in our own head. But always remember: those lying in the ambulance would much rather be you after your worst day at work than be transported to hospital.
Time truly is a precious commodity. You will have another shot at work; the one in the ambulance might not.

Give way to ambulances! Always!

ZHL powers Junior Writer’s Bug festival as a medical partner

Weekends are always looked forward to but the 7th and 8th of December 2013 was a special one for us at ZHL. That Saturday and Sunday, we had the opportunity to participate in the Junior Writer’s Bug literary festival for children at Maharashtra Nature Park in Mumbai.
Touted as the biggest story carnival for children between 2-16 years of age, the event consisted of 70 sessions by authors, illustrators, storytellers, performers & so on. What’s more, the children could also showcase their drawing skills & participate in some fun dancing sessions much to the delight of their parents.
Ziqitza Health Care Limited supported the event as medical partner and ensured that this family day out remained stress-free and the laughter & fun continued without any untoward incidences. Epilepsy, insect bites, falls and more—our 1298 ambulance saw to it all.

As the sun set on Sunday the 8th announcing the end of the event, another good day at work came to an end for our team as the parents and children left the venue with smiles on their faces.
