With Diwali over, most of you will be returning to work that has been pending for at least a few days if not an entire week because of the festivities. While some have the liberty of clearing out the tasks one day at a time, others will be doing long hours starting today for the next few days. Unfortunately, these long hours at the laptop or computer aren’t the best plan because they may help you complete your pending tasks but will have short-term and long-term effects on your body, according to Mumbai doctors, who say it is important to take timely precautions.
