Man formally asking for leave to binge-watch web series demands to 'normalise leave'; see post

-

Maintaining a work-life balance is one of the toughest jobs for employees. After a hectic week-long schedule, it becomes hard to save time for their own refreshment. Though people may ask for a leave, it also demands a valid reason for each leave application. Now, a guy is creating a stir across the internet following his honest confession in his formal request for a day off. A snapshot of the application mail was shared by the employee named Abhishek Kumar on Twitter. The post sarcastically encouraged users to join in a hilarious movement seeking to ‘normalise leave’, whatever the reason behind it.

As per the photograph, Kumar dropped the mail to ask for a leave on 23 December just to binge-watch his favourite web series, TVF Pitchers - Season 2. Additionally, he explained the reason in a very professional manner. He noted that the reason behind that “much-needed leave” is that he could not get time to binge-watch his favourite web show on weekdays all night long, hampering his sleep cycle.

Thus, as he could not resist his excitement till the weekend came, Kumar had to request an untimely leave “to just sit at home and watch Pitchers- Season 2.” Although, he assured in the end, “Will continue research and monitoring work as usual from 24 December.”

Kumar captioned the post, “It is not necessary that you take leave only when you are sick or for some work that cannot be done without you.” Since it has become such a relatable problem for everyone surviving a corporate life, the post generated many reactions on Twitter.

A user wrote, “This is so cool. Would love to see the response.”


Another one marked, “It was always the case with most organisations. No one should stop you from taking leaves which you have.”


A person praised his manager, “Always call my manager and tell him I feel like going out and can’t work today. Chap is super cool and takes care of my emails too.”


Here are some other reactions:


The post has accumulated more than 2.5 lakh views so far since being surfaced on the internet. It has also garnered nearly 3,000 likes on the microblogging site. So, is it not relatable? Do you not hesitate while seeking a leave?

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
