Quintessence of Quality: - MatrikaS Paper Products


"There is no friend as loyal as a book."
Ernest Hemingway
 Pen    -        Rs. 5
Book -        Rs. 100
Mood to study/work…..Priceless!

So how does one get into the mood to write? Believe it or not, but the stationary we use, the feel of the books we write in, the whiteness, texture and thickness of the pages, all effect the quality and efficiency of our work.

  

Notebooks Redefined
See the Texture of the Cover!
Allow me to illustrate. I am a student of law and an amateur writer. A few weeks back, however, I was suffering from writer’s block. I was half way through writing a story, when my mind suddenly refused to give me any further assistance. Then a few days later MatrkiaS’ Chanakya Journal [JRNL-STD-CHANAKYA] was placed in my hands. The very feel and texture of the cover, along with its overall look and colour tok me back to ancient times. It was as though Chanakya’s mind surged from the journal , to my hands, and finally to my brain. Ideas flourished in my head like a water fountain about to explode. I opened the journal to find a perfect stack of thick and white pages, the pleasures of which are known to many. I picked my quill and successfully completed my story.

MatrikaS Deluxe Notebook
After writing my story, I realized it was high time to start my studies. In this regard, MatrikaS’ Paper Products have never let me down. I remember the first time I was handed MatrikaS Deluxe Notebook [DLX-STD-A]. It was love at first sight. I had found my soul-mate, my life companion. I carried the notebook to my college and even to the office where I work part-time. Every time I took the notebook out of my bag, I was attacked by office colleagues, classmates and even teachers asking questions about where I obtained the notebook. Some were envious, and rightly so. The sturdy and strongly bound companion was a class apart. While it is normal for journals to have ribbon-bookmark, Team MatrikaS has been thoughtful enough to provide one even in a notebook.

Bored? Play Tiger and Goat




MatrikaS also provides Game Instructions
After I was done with my studies I decided to take a break. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, no? That’s why it is important to have fun while you work. MatrikS’ 6-subject Notebook [6SUB-A4-B] has six divisions for 6 different subjects. Yes, an all-in-one book which can cover a student’s entire semester. The book has an extra special feature being a groovy cover. Look at the front-cover of the book. No, it is not just a stylish design, but also a board game. Team MatikaS has gone a step ahead and also provided the instructions of the game inside the Journal.

Yo! Check out the Bling!
But my friends, if you want to truly want to spoil yourselves I have the perfect item which will transcend you to another world. If you really want a royal or antique feel, wait till you see MatrikaS Antique Journal [ANTIQUE-JRNL-A5-MAROON]. A Journal fit for Kings! Actually, forget kings, the journal was not meant for man, for no mere mortal can truly be worthy of it. Ah! You may think I exaggerate, but you have probably not seen this journal. I was surpised to see how such a journal had entered the realm of man. Perhaps it was dropped from the heavens by an angel, because it can only be described as divine. To call it a ‘journal’ would not be appropriate since it is so much more than that. It inter alia has seven sections for one to write, organize and plan:- Account Summary, Contacts, To Do Lists, Action Plan, Ruled Pages, Index Pages and Personal Data. Apart from that it also has 256 solutions for office, studies, or practically anything! SFA Print (P) Ltd. and Team MatrikaS have truly outdone themselves. Bravo!


Thus my friends, like I have gone MatrikaS, I urge you also to put down your notebook and journal. Now I must bid your farewell. I have become weary typing the post and my fingers tremble to go back to my pen and my MatrikaS PaperProducts.

Dabur Chyawanprash - Protecting Our Future

"Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven."
- Henry Ward Beecher, reverend and social activist.

Kids are the future. But are we protecting our future to the best of our abilities? How can we train them to face life’s problems, if we cannot even help them overcome day to day infections, pollution and common bacteria and viruses?

They say that there is no cure for the common cold. And even if there was, isn’t prevention better than cure? When a child falls sick, he loses out on essential school-time, play-time and time in general. A weak immune system can also lead to other serious health problems.

By now most of you must be asking, ‘So what are we to do?’. Let me tell you about a a time-tested herbal preparation derived from 2500 years of old Ayurvedic formula and made from 48 trusted ingredients – Yes, Dabur Chyawanprash! Its true guys, consuming Dabur Chyawanprash regularly increases immunity by three times. Just half a teaspoon, twice a day, enhances your child’s (3 to 12 years old) immunity and helps to keep them mentally and physically fit. [Have milk after it, to get an even more happier and healthier child.] And wait, there’s more! Above everything else, Dabur Chyawanprash is nto just for kids!. Yes, even adults can enjoy its numerous benefits. (Dosage for adults: 1 teaspoon-full twice a day).

I remember in 8th grade I used to keep falling sick. A simple weather change and I would be bed-ridden. My doctor suggested my mom to give me Dabur Chyawanprash. I did not give his advice much importance at the time. I thought, ‘I need a miracle and he is suggesting something which is available in every general/medical store.’ But my Mom complied and I was given a teaspoon of Dabur Chyawanprash everyday. In 9th grade I got a 100% attendance. Only two people in my batch managed to do that, me and another kid. After collecting our certificates for achieving 100% attendance, me and this kid got talking . I asked him what was his secret. At first he refused to say anything, but after considerable persuasion, he reluctantly recvealed the truth. He only said two words: ‘Dabur Chyawanprash’. I said ‘De talli!, even I’m a Dabur Chyawanprash boy!’
Ek Chamach, Zindagi ki

Lastly guys, compulsion is not going to work. For kids to make a habit of having any health supplement, it must also be yummy. If its not yummy, its not going to go in their tummy. Above all else, Dabur Chyawanprash is also extremely delicious. But what if your kids don’t fancy its taste? No worries! Dabur Chyawanprash also comes in three yummy and exciting flavours: Mango, Orange and Mixed Fruit.

So my friends, go get fit, get healthy, get Dabur Chyawanprash!

Use Apps and Social Networking Sites to Wake up Potential Voters!


Despite various campaigns to encourage people to vote, the actual turn-out of voters was quite low. The biggest flaw in holding actual campaigns and events to encourage voting is that you can only reach out to a few hundred at a time. We need to shake the public at a mass-level.

Waking Up on the Wrong Side of the Desk


“Hey the Cops are coming! What do we do?”

“Quick! Go to sleep!”

Indeed, while earlier the Police needed a warrant to arrest you, now they may also need a warrant to wake you up.

Everyone knows what they’ll see as soon as they put on the ‘Lok Sabha’ channel on T.V. Many even criticize our politicians for taking long naps whilst laws are being discussed and passed. But aren’t they just exercising one of their Fundamental Rights?

This year the S.C., in a judgement which is a beacon of hope for all students who snooze on the last bench in class or those public servants who take power naps during work, had declared that the ‘Right to Sleep’ was a ‘Fundamental Right’. Probably taking inspiration from the movie ‘Inception’, the S.C. has taken a ‘leap of faith’ by incorporating these ‘radical notions’ in its judgment. The judgment is definitely a step forward. Surely, when nothing goes into my head when I pay full attention in a lecture, there is no harm in resting my eyes and letting my subconscious try its luck. After all, the brain does perform 20 times faster in sleep. And counting sheep does sound much better than counting the number of case laws I have to read this year. Who knows, maybe the ‘Facebook’-ing or ‘Whats App’-ing may also be Fundamental Rights someday <Fingers crossed>

Barack Obama – A Great Leader or just a Great Orator?


“I will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95 percent of all working families, because, in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class.

-          Barack Obama


What’s common among today’s Lawyers and Presidents? The answer is that they are both required to be good speakers. This must be the reason why India’s current, as well as former President, were both holders of degrees in Law. This principle applies to Western Countries as well, such as the U.S. where Barack Obama had wooed his way into the Presidential Office in 2009.

Admittedly, Obama took office at a time when America was suffering a Great Recession, with businesses laying off employs on a large scale, in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. But that was over three years ago. As the new president, and with the aid of a firm Democratic Congress, Obama gave U.S. a variety of promises, which till date remain unfulfilled. Several of his policies have turned out to be futile. In the face of overwhelming public opposition, Barack Obama’s health care reform legislation symbolizes the largest expansion of government authority in over 70 years, and is a important step towards a government-run health care system. He proposed an expansion of health insurance coverage to cover the uninsured, to cap premium increases, and to allow people to retain their coverage when they leave or change jobs. His proposal was to spend $900 billion over 10 years and include a government insurance plan, also known as the public option, to compete with the corporate insurance sector as a main component to lowering costs and improving quality of health care. [1]It would also make it illegal for insurers to drop sick people or deny them coverage for pre-existing conditions, and require every American carry health coverage. The plan also includes medical spending cuts and taxes on insurance companies that offer expensive plans. On June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled by a 5–4 vote in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius that the Commerce Clause does not allow the government to require people to buy health insurance, but the mandate was constitutional under the US Congress's taxing authority.

Is the Decline of the West Inevitable?

Summary
There has been a drop in the GDP of western countries and a rise in that of eastern countries. The West will inevitably decline in the future. However, this will probably not happen any time soon as eastern countries are still dependent on the west for trade and employment purposes.


Introduction

Ever since the release of the late Oswald Spengler’s double volume book ‘The Decline of The West’, economists, political thinkers and leaders have been debating if Spengler’s predictions may come true. The West is usually defined as Oceania, North America, Europe and Israel, with the Post-Soviet World and Latin America having the possibility of becoming Western. Although initially regarded as a pessimist, comparison of recent trends in the economic, political and social conditions of the West to that of the east have given rise to a genuine concern about Spengler’s theory of the decline of the West.
