It has been 57 days since Kashmir was pushed into the dark ages. It was put under house arrest with no way to communicate with the outside world. Internet was shut down. Shops were closed. Hospitals made inaccessible.

I wish there was some way that to justify this madness but there isn’t. There is simply no pretext on which our Government could have let this happen to its own people.

The only sane thing to do now would be to lift the curfew and allow them to at least get back to some sort of normalcy.

Do you want to master the art of multitasking easily? Here are 8 simple strategies I use to optimize my time that might benefit you too.
I begin by jotting down tasks on sticky notes and placing them in specific areas around the house, like a grocery list on the fridge. This approach helps track items that need restocking without making separate trips and saves both time and money.
Condensing shopping trips saves on shipping costs and avoids queues. Limiting shopping to weekly or monthly visits curbs unnecessary spending and time wasted.
