PHYSIOLOGY CORNER:
LEARN TO LEAD NOT TO BULLY :
Many times people don’t even realize that their boss is bullying them. Instead, they falsely believe that their boss is just tough or pushes his workers to get results. But workplace bullying can have significant consequences and can impact your health and overall well being. Therefore, it’s important to be able to distinguish between a tough boss and a bullying boss. Here are some signs that your boss is a bully. Your boss is a bully if he:
Verbally abuses you. For instance, a bullying boss humiliates you in front of others. He also might shout, swear or yell at you on a consistent basis or make offensive jokes at your expense. Verbally abusive bosses also make snide remarks or offer unfair criticism about you or your work.
Intimidates you on a regular basis. Intimidating behavior might include threatening to fire you as a way to maintain power and control. It also can include threatening gestures or threats to harm you physically.
Questions your adequacy and your commitment. Bosses question your adequacy by belittling your opinions and ideas. This may be done in private or in front of others. They also may blame you for problems at work while boasting that their skills are responsible for good outcomes. And they may question your commitment to the job unless you work long hours and sacrifice personal time.
Intrudes on your privacy. Sometimes bosses will spy on you or even stalk you. They also may listen in on your private conversations, open your mail and go so far as to tamper with your personal belongings or your work equipment.
Undermines your work. Bosses who bully set unrealistic deadlines that are bound to cause failure. They also change project guidelines on a regular basis causing extra work and increasing the chance for failure. They also withhold necessary information in order to cause failure and sabotage your success by making your work late or incomplete. Refusing to sign off on projects or refusing to provide needed feedback are other tactics used to undermine work.
Impedes your success. Bullies don’t want to see you succeed because they will lose control over you. As a result, they may punish you for mistakes that are not yours or bring up past mistakes in order to shift blame during a discussion. They also may make it impossible for you to apply for a promotion, a transfer or additional training. They may even over-control or micromanage your work or projects.
Spreads rumors about you. Bullies often go to great lengths to make others look bad. As a result, they may gossip with others about your work, your appearance, your health or your personal life.
Isolates you at work. Bullying bosses might exclude you socially. They leave you off party lists and don't include you in company outings, sporting events or after-hours meetings. They also may schedule meetings when they know you have a conflict in your schedule. And they may go so far as refusing to allow you to attend work meetings or work lunches.
If you are experiencing any of these abuses, it’s important to recognize that this is workplace bullying and it’s not a normal part of any workplace environment. Repetitive verbal abuse, exploitation, micromanagement and other activities that repeatedly demean you or are discourteous will eventually take a toll on you.
Possible Signs of a Bully
Exhibiting poor impulse control. Bullies with poor impulse control are quick-tempered, tend to yell and use profanity. They also are prone to using insults and calling names.
Attempting to monitor, control or isolate other workers. Workplace bullies may hold surprise meetings as a means to humiliate another person. They also may make surprise appearances in an employee’s work area in an attempt to catch them doing something they shouldn’t be doing. And, they conveniently leave others out of important meetings or e-mails.
Sabotaging the work of others. Bullies tend to discount the accomplishments of others and take credit for things they didn’t do. They also may withhold valuable information from other employees in an effort to sabotage their work performance. And they threaten subordinates with job loss, set unreasonable schedules, make unrealistic work demands and squash attempts at promotion.
Appearing self-centered or inconsiderate. Bullies are the ones who dominate meetings with interruptions, sarcasm and insults. They also consistently question and criticize other people’s ideas. Additionally, bullies use non-verbal cues to control other employees such as coughing, rolling their eyes, squeaking their chair, tapping a pencil on the table, tapping their foot impatiently and so on.
Talking behind the backs of co-workers. Watch out for people who seem to be “in-the-know” about other people. Some of what they say may be fabricated rumors and gossip. Bullies tend to make snide remarks about other people, make fun of people and criticize others.
Learning to recognize bullying will help you learn not to blame yourself for someone else’s behavior. Additionally, you will be less likely to take responsibility for something that isn’t your fault. Remember, bullying doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you. Instead, bullying is a choice that is made by the bully.
Additionally, remember that workplace bullying is a widespread issue that affects millions of people. As a result, keep the situation in perspective and don’t let it affect your self-esteem or health. Find outside support for what you are experiencing and look for options for your situation whether it is reporting your boss, filing a complaint or getting outside counseling.

McKensey Reforms on MNOP Revoked.
BETTER LATE, THAN NEVER!!
AT LAST DEPARTMENT OF POSTS AND MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS ADMITTED THAT McKENSEY
MODEL (MNOP) L1, L2
MODEL (MNOP) L1, L2
IS A TOTAL FAILURE
ORDERS ISSUED TO RESTORE THE OLD POSITION
NAME REMAINS (L1, L2) BUT THE SCHEME STANDS SCRAPED
THE STAND TAKEN BY THE JCA (NFPE & FNPO)
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING HAS BEEN PROVED RIGHT.
Now the question to be answered by the authorities are:
1. Who is responsible for the delay caused to the public mails due to back-routing for the last two years?
2. Who is responsible for the loss of public faith and trust in the Postal department due to heavy delay caused due to L1, L2 in processing and transmission of public mails?
3. Who is responsible for paying an amount of more than 100 crores to the Mckensey Consultancy for this anti-people, anti-worker, “Tuglak Model” reforms?
4. Who are those behind this shady deal with the Mckensy consultancy? Why are they not taken to task?
The relevant order is given below :
Implementation of Redesigned Network
for First & Second Class Mail: Review of Bag Closing Pattern regarding.
O.M. No. 30-7/2012-D dated 07.08.13
dated 07.08.13.
Reference is invited to Directorate O.M. even number dated 01.02.2012 regarding
implementation of the redesigned network for First Class mail followed by OMs
of even no. dated 21.03.12 and 28.09.12 with respect to manner of sorting and
bag closing by Business Post Centres (BPC) and Mail Business Centres (MBCs)
handling outward bulk mail only. Attention is also drawn to the Directorate
O.M. no. 30-19/2012-D dated 09.05.2012 regarding implementation of redesigned
network for Second Class Mail.
2.
The manner of closing of bags between mail offices as prescribed under
redesigned network for First and Second class mail was under review at this
Directorate and it has now been decided that all L 1 and L 2 mail offices situated
within a circle would be permitted to close bags for each other with
respect of First Class (unregistered and registered) and Second Class mail in
addition to the pattern of bag closing prescribed earlier. Thus, the revised
arrangement, the pattern of bag closing would be as under:
(a)
All L-1 mail offices will close direct bag for each other. All L-1 and L-2 mail
offices situated within a circle will close direct bag for each other. An L-1
office will also close bags for all L-2 offices as well as delivery post offices
mapped /attached to it.
(b)
All L-2 offices attached/mapped to an L-1 office can close bags for that
particular L-1 office. Now an L-2 mail office will also close direct bag for
all other L-1 and L-2 mail offices of the same Circle as well. An L-2 office
will also close bags for all delivery post offices mapped to it.
(c)
In case of inter-Circle mail, any demand for exceptions in terms of closing of
bags between one mail office and another, which in not prescribed under the
redesigned network, would continue to be approved by the Directorate. However,
as an exception, all L-1 and L-2 mail offices geographically falling under
Assam and NE Circle may close bags for each other as communicated earlier in
July 2012.
3.
The First Class unregistered and Registered bags to be closed between L-1
offices, between all L 1 and L 2 offices situated within a circle, between L-1
office and L-2 offices mapped to it and vice versa, and between L-1/-2
offices and post offices mapped to them and vice versa will be traded as “Due
Bags”. These would be no due bags in case of second class mail.
4.
CEPT Mysore would make necessary changes in R-Net mapping release the revised
script to all circles immediately
.
5.
The existing instructions with respect to bag closing by Business Post Centres
would continue.
6.
Circles may issue revise the Due Mail and Sorting list at the mail offices
concerned immediately.

Diabetes Control
Diabetes Control : Top 15 Diabetic Tips for Indians
Diabetes control is governed by following the right diabetic diet. What to eat and what not to eat is important for diabetes control and diabetes cure or diabetes reversal. These are the top 15 diabetes diet tips from diabetologists and nutritionists. Even if you are pre-diabetic or borderline diabetic, or diabetes is part of your family, it is important to follow a diabetic diet to prevent diabetes.
Diabetologist, Dr. Sanjiv Bhambani with Moolchand Medcity suggests, “A diabetes diet should be high on fibre, must contain milk without cream, buttermilk, fresh seasonal fruits, green vegetables, etc.” But remember to consume these components in moderation.
Diabetes diet for Indians should have the ratio of 60:20:20 for carbs, fats and proteins. The doctor explains, “Per day calorie intake should be between 1,500-1,800 calories with a proportion of 60:20:20 between carbohydrates, fats and proteins, respectively.” He adds that a diabetes diet should “have at least two seasonal fruits and three vegetables in a diet plan.”
Though dry fruits may seem like a healthy snack, it is not a good option for diabetics, as the fructose can spike your sugar level. Go for fresh fruits rather than dry fruits for diabetes
control (but there are some restrictions... we’ll come to it). But you can still opt for nuts as a healthy snack.
The doctor shares his recipe for diabetes diet for Indians:
- One teaspoon of methi seeds soaked overnight in 100 ml of water is very effective in controlling diabetes.
- Drink tomato juice with salt and pepper every morning on an empty stomach.
- Intake of 6 almonds (soaked overnight) is also helpful in keeping a check on diabetes.
Rekha Sharma, President and Director of Indian Dietetic Association, shares some major diabetes diet pointers that one should follow at home or at a restaurant.
Whole grains, oats, channa atta, millets and other high fibre foods should be included in the meals. If one feels like consuming pasta or noodles, it should always be accompanied with vegetable/sprouts.
Milk is the right combination of carbohydrates and proteins and helps control blood sugar levels. Two servings of milk in a dailydiet is a good option.
High fibre vegetables such as peas, beans, broccoli and spinach /leafy vegetables should be included in one’s diet. Also, pulses with husk and sprouts are a healthy option and should be part of the diet.
Pulses are important in the diet as their effect on blood glucose is less than that of most other carbohydrate containing foods. Vegetables rich in fibre help lowering down the blood sugar
levels and thus are healthy.
Good fats such as Omega-3 and monounsaturated fats (MUFA) should be consumed as they are good for the body. Natural sources for these are canola oil, flax seed oil, fatty fish and nuts. These are also low in cholesterol and are trans fat free.
Fruits high in fibre such as papaya, apple, orange, pear and guava should be consumed. Mangoes, bananas, and grapes contain high sugar; therefore these fruits should be consumed lesser than the others.
A large meal gives rise to higher blood sugar in one’s body, therefore it is essential to take small frequent meals to prevent both higher and very low blood sugar values and keep them constant. Small in between snacks can be dhokla, fruit, high fibre cookies, butter milk, yogurt, upma/poha with vegetables etc.
A person with diabetes should follow a diet
which is low in carbohydrates, high in fibre and contains adequate amounts of proteins, vitamins and minerals; and avoid fatty foods and sweets. He/she should also take frequent small meals (5 meals pattern).
What not to do:
- Artificial sweeteners can be used in cakes and sweets for diabetic people (in moderation).
- Have lots of fluid.
- Limit intake of alcohol.
Should you have non-veg?
In non-vegetarian diet, seafood and chicken can be taken rather than red meat as red meat contains higher amount of saturated fats. Also, patients with high cholesterol should avoid egg yolk and red meat.
The diabetes diet for Indians includes carbohydrates, proteins and fats. As always, a balanced and planned diet can build and improve personal health. A controlled diabetes diet may seem like a drag and bore, but a good cook can add life to a diet. Time to call up mom and experiment with diabetes
diets!

Decks cleared for passing Pension Bill in Monsoon session
PFRDA Bill is ready to be introduced..
The Government may propose an investment option for assured returns in the New Pension Scheme (NPS). These proposals will be part of the official amendments to the Pension Bill, which is to be moved during the ongoing Monsoon session of Parliament.
“Apart from the existing investment options, the Government may incorporate more options. One will be for assured returns,” a highly-placed source told Business Line. The second option will not give any assured returns, but give maximum safety, he added.
At present, there are three schemes. The first one provides investment, mainly in equity, the second one in Government securities and the third one provides investment in bonds issued by any entity other than Central and State Government. These bonds include rated bonds/securities of public financial institutions and public sector companies, rated municipal bodies/infrastructure bonds and corporate bonds.
Apart from these three options, there is a default option, which is also called Auto Choice, where pension money is invested in equities, Government securities and corporate bonds in proportions which vary with age.
The option related to assured returns is based on suggestions given by the Standing Committee on Finance. The Committee, in its report, said, “It desires that the Government must devise a mechanism to enable subscribers of NPS to be ensured of such a minimum assured/guaranteed returns for their pensions so that they are not put to any disadvantage vis-à-vis other pensioners.”
The Government has also accepted the committee’s views on foreign direct investment. Accordingly, it will be 26 per cent.
Acceptance of these suggestions has won support from the principal opposition party, BJP.
“Since our concerns are taken on board, we have no objection to the Bill, which was initiated during our time,” senior BJP leader and Chairman of the Standing Committee, Yashwant Sinha, told Business Line.
Sinha said there was no understanding between the Centre and the BJP on the Insurance Bill.
“We have given our suggestions on the Bill. Now the ball is in the Government’s court. We will await their suggestions,” he added.
The Left parties said the Centre had not reached out to them on the Bill. “We have not been approached on the Insurance Bill,” said CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury.
