7 tips for mental health while regular people suffer during heavy rain and waterlogging

This week our bosses decided Satireday should do some good instead of making people laugh and reduce stress. We have decided on starting a health column. It may seem random like a red university bus running you down from the wrong side of the road but our jobs depend on it. This week we give tried and tested tips on how to stay safe during monsoon season.

What is waterlogging and why should you be concerned?

When city planners stuff their wallets with cash, it prevents rainwater to drain easily through our sewage lines. Result: everything that shouldn't float on streets, floats. This includes cars, sewage, bacteria and dreams of the women's football team.

Seven things you can do to stay safe:

To avoid      coming in contact with waterborne diseases, do not live in Dhanmondi.

Do not use airpods. Those who cannot afford the lifestyle, keep buying clones and feel depressed when the right earpod goes bad in a month.

We have to go to work. To avoid stepping in sewage filled water, ride in an SUV with quality tinted glass. Some of us have to go to watch a movie.

Regularly check up on the wellbeing of friends and family members on social media. Let them know you are safe while visiting New Zealand. The weather is lovely this time of year.

Make sure your 60-inch smart TV software is updated. Let streaming services drown out the cries of poor people outside.

Practise deep breathing. This is the only time you can step out into your wide balcony and breathe in air that is free from dust.

People need help. Stay off social media and focus elsewhere. Also avoid news channels so that you do not have to hear sad stories of people suffering.
