*****An eye opener **********





Ranjan Das, CEO and MD of SAP Indian subcontinent

died after a massive cardiac arrest in Mumbai on Wednesday.

One of the youngest CEOs, he was 42 What killed Ranjan Das and Lessons for Corporate India





A month ago, many of us heard about the sad demise of Ranjan Das from Bandra, Mumbai. He was very active in sports, was a fitness freak and a marathon runner. It was common to see him run on Bandra's Carter Road. Just after Diwali, on 21st Oct, he returned home from his gym after a workout, collapse! d with a massive heart attack and died.

It was certainly a wake-up call for corporate India. However, it was even more disastrous for runners amongst us. Since Ranjan was an avid marathoner ( in Feb 09, he ran Chennai Marathon at the same time some of us were running Pondicherry Marathon 180 km away ), the question came as to why an exceptionally active, athletic person succumb to heart attack at 42 years of age.



Was it the stress?

------------------

A couple of you called me asking about the reasons. While Ranjan had mentioned that he faced a lot of stress, that is a common element in most of our lives. We used to think that by being fit, one can conquer the bad effects of stress. So I doubted if the cause was stress.



The Real Reason

---------------



However, everyone missed out a small line in the reports that Ranjan used to make do with 4-5 hours of sleep. This is an earlier interview of Ranjan on NDTV in the program 'Boss' D! ay Out':

Boss' Day Out:

Ranjan Das of SAP

India .



The Evidence

------------

Last week, I was working with a well-known cardiologist on the subject of ‘Heart Disease caused by Lack of Sleep’. ! While I cannot share the video nor the slides because of confidentiality reasons, I have distilled the key points below in the hope it will

save some of our lives.



Some Excerpts:

-------------



• Short sleep duration ( <5 or 5-6 hours ) increased risk for high BP by 350% to 500% compared to those who slept longer than 6 hours per night. Paper published in 2009. As you know, high BP kills.



• Young people ( 25-49 years of age ) are twice as likely to get high BP if they sleep less. Paper published in 2006.



• Individuals who slept less than 5 hours a night had a 3-fold increased risk of heart attacks. Paper published in 1999.



• Complete and partial lack of sleep increased the blood concentrations of High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-cRP), the strongest predictor of heart attacks. Even after getting adequate sleep later, the levels stayed high!!



• Just one night of sleep loss increases very toxic substances in body such as Interleukin-6 (IL! -6), Tumour Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-alpha) and C-reactive protein (cRP). They increase risks of many medical conditions, including cancer, arthritis and heart



disease. Paper published in 2004.

• Sleeping for <=5 hours per night leads to 39% increase in heart disease. Sleeping for <=6 hours per night leads to 18% increase in heart disease. Paper published in 2006.





Ideal Sleep

-----------



For lack of space, I cannot explain here the ideal sleep architecture. But in brief, sleep is composed of two stages: REM ( Rapid Eye Movement ) and non-REM. The former helps in mental consolidation while the latter helps in physical repair and rebuilding.



During the night, you alternate between REM and non-REM stages 4-5 times.



The earlier part of sleep is mostly non-REM. During that period, your pituitary gland releases growth hormones that repair your body. The latter part of sleep is more and more REM type.



For you to be mentally alert during the day, ! the latter part of sleep is more important. No wonder when you wake up with an alarm clock after 5-6 hours of sleep, you are mentally irritable throughout the day (lack of REM sleep). And if you have slept for



less than 5 hours, your body is in a complete physical mess ( lack of non-REM sleep ), you are tired throughout the day, moving like a zombie and your immunity is way down ( I’ve been there, done that ).



Finally, as long-distance runners, you need an hour of extra sleep to repair the running related damage.



In conclusion:

--------------

Barring stress control, Ranjan Das did everything right: eating proper food, exercising ( marathoning! ), maintaining proper weight. But he missed getting proper and adequate sleep, minimum 7 hours. In my opinion, that killed him.



If you are not getting enough sleep ( 7 hours ), you are play(!)ing with fire, even if you have low stress. Respect and work through the day hours nature has given us for work. Observe other species and its habits. No day working species do jobs late nights. We are destroying ourselves with our so called intelligence because we don’t know where to draw the line. Respect Nature.



I always took pride in my ability to work 50 hours at a stretch whenever the situation warranted. But I was so spooked after seeing the scientific evidence last week that since Saturday night, I ensure I do not even set the alarm clock under 7 hours. Now, that

is a nice excuse to get some more sleep.



Unfortunately, Ranjan Das is not alone when it comes to missing sleep. Many of us are doing exactly the same, perhaps out of ignorance. Please forward this mail/article to as many of your colleagues/friends as possible, especially those who might be short-changing their sleep

My visit to VFS office in Hyderabad for UK

VFS office for UK visa is located in Banjara Hills. Banjara hills is a big area so if you don’t have the address handy you will confuse with the location like me. Many people cannot guide you as it is bit confusing.


Address is Sunil Chambers, 8-2-542/A Road No. 7 Banjara Hills, Hyderabad 500 034

To be more specific about the address it is in the lane opposite to GVK Mall. If you follow the route you will end near VFS office. It is above the More super market and opposite to Government school.

Working hours are 08:00 to 14:00 from Monday to Friday.

Some important points to be noted are


1.You have a photographer inside the VFS office. So if you have any problem with the photos which brought you can take a picture immediately.


2.There are 4 document verification counters and 2 counters where they take your thumb impressions.


3.Ireland VFS collection centre is also in the same office.


4.They may ask you to pay Rs.100 for getting sms of your passport status, Which i feel is unnecessary as we can track it online.


5.You can track online starting the next day using the number provided by them after submitting.


6. You can buy some mobile sim connections like Lyca which i feel is good. Lyca and libra are 2 connections in UK which provide good offers for calling India.(Example 1 GBP = 100 Mins to India)
You can start using your mobile phone in UK with Lyca connection which you can buy in VFS office. I suggest this is better for the business travelers.


7.It will take minimum 3-4 hours once you’re in VFS office.


8.You don’t have ample parking for vehicles so it is better to park near opposite government school.


9.There is no need to panic / frightened as the VFS people are there to help us in the process.


10.You have small HDFC bank counter .


11.If your taking infants take enough food, tell the people in counter that you have infants so that they can take care of you in a faster way.


Hope this helps you while applying for UK visa in VFS office.



All the best for Your Visa
