Today's Motivational Story - THE STORY OF HANSEN’S DISEASE (LEPROSY): THE BIBLICAL “CURSE OF GOD”

Click here to read the article: https://shirshendusengupta.com/blog/story-of-hansen-disease-leprosy-the-biblical-curse-of-god

Dear friends,

For centuries, leprosy was shrouded in fear and superstition. In many societies, the Church declared that the disease was a “Curse of God.” Once that verdict was passed, any rational investigation was often shut down. But one man dared to challenge that belief: a Norwegian doctor named Gerhard Armauer Hansen. Today I’m going to tell you his story!

Today’s Product Review - TOURBOX ELITE REVIEW | THE CONTROLLER THAT REPLACES KEYBOARD AND MOUSE SHORTCUTS TO SPEED UP YOUR EDITING WORKFLOW

Click here to read the article: https://shirshendusengupta.com/blog/tourbox-elite-review-controller-that-replaces-keyboard-and-mouse-shortcuts-to-speed-up-your-editing-workflow

A few weeks ago, I received an unexpected message from TourBox. They offered me their latest model, the TourBox Elite, along with a USB cable and a travel bag, free of cost. The only request was that I share my honest experience and write a review. Initially, I was both excited and skeptical. Over the years, I have tried several controllers, tablets, and shortcut devices, many of which promised efficiency but ended up cluttering my desk or complicating my workflow. I had heard about TourBox from colleagues and online forums, but I had never tried it myself. As someone who spends hours in Lightroom, Photoshop, and DaVinci Resolve every day, I was curious to see whether this controller could genuinely improve my workflow or if it was just another gadget for creative professionals.

TourBox is a compact editing controller designed to streamline creative workflows in photo editing, video editing, illustration, and audio production. It features a combination of dials, wheels, buttons, and k***s that can be customized to perform shortcuts, slider adjustments, tool switching, and repetitive commands. Instead of relying entirely on keyboard shortcuts and mouse movements, TourBox allows users to control editing software more intuitively through tactile, single-handed operations. It aims to reduce workflow interruptions, improve precision, and offer a more natural editing experience. Its ergonomic layout makes it easy to use without looking at the device, which increases overall editing speed. To know more about it read the complete review.

After a long break, today's Motivational Story from my Dad - THE STORY OF KOCH AND WAKSMAN - TWO SUPERSTARS WHO SAVED MANKIND FROM THE MENACE OF TUBERCULOSIS

Click here to read the article: https://shirshendusengupta.com/blog/story-of-robert-koch-and-selman-waksman-two-superstars-who-saved-mankind-from-the-menace-of-tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is far older than modern medicine. According to modern archaeological surveys, TB has existed for nearly 9,000 years. Evidence of TB has been found in Neolithic skeletons, and deformities typical of spinal tuberculosis, known as Pott’s disease, have been discovered in Egyptian mummies dating from about 2400 to 3400 BCE. In ancient India, descriptions of a TB-like disease appear in Ayurvedic texts from about 3500 years ago. In China, signs of tuberculosis exist in writings and bone samples from about 2500 years ago. In Europe and the USA, 25% of all deaths between 1600 and 1800 were due to TB; a figure that shows just how devastating this disease was in the pre-modern world. Today I’m going to tell you the story of two scientific superstars who helped humanity fight back against this menace!

– HAPPY DIWALI TO ALL MY FRIENDS –

My dearest friends,

Wishing you all a belated Happy Diwali once again. May God give you and your loved ones all the happiness and prosperity in the world!

This year, we visited the following 2 Kali Pujas that’re currently held publicly in the Netherlands and updated our Kali Puja article accordingly

1. Uchchas Netherlands’ SARBOJONIN KALI PUJA AND DIWALI FESTIVAL - It brings together Bengalis and other Hindu devotees from across the country to honor Goddess Kali with traditional rituals, music, dance, and offerings, thereby recreating the atmosphere of Kali Puja in India, complete with artistic decorations, devotional songs, and cultural performances.
2. OHM BENGALI CULTURAL ASSOCIATION’S KALI PUJA - The Kali Puja here is accompanied by delectable Bengali cuisine, captivating dance performances, and the rich traditions of Bengal. What is more interesting is that it is held in Ashram Dutcheswar Dhaam Mandir, a Hindu spiritual center nestled amid the lush green Dutch countryside. The temple’s serene rural setting amidst tranquil greenery and Dutch calmness, provides an authentic backdrop away from the distractions of urban spaces, for a celebration as sacred and powerful as Kali Puja.
