Online Scrub Suit Sellers in India

Before COVID I never had used these scrub suits so frequently during my duty hours. However I used to use the scrub suits provided by the hospital, but sometimes they misfit and during the summer they are not great to wear for 8 to 12 hours at a stretch, even without the PPE. 

I was gifted by an awesome suit by my regular tailor, but that quality cloth even he can't manage further. Therefore I had to look into online offerings - Amazon has many of them. But when I googled it, I found there are several options for us. I am just listing them out. 

KNYAMED - https://knyamed.com/ 
Hirawats - https://www.hirawatsonline.com/ 
Skyscrubs - https://skyscrubs.in
Wear On Call - https://wearoncall.com/ 
French Terrain - https://frenchterrain.in
Med Togs - https://medtogs.com/
UniformCrafts - https://uniformcraft.com/
VinisUniform - https://vinisuniforms.com/
Sashafe - https://sashafe.com/
Zubito - https://zubito.in/
Cguard - https://cguard.in/

So far I bought from Hirawats and KnyaMed. Hirawats' product is ok, but what I felt that as the order was corrected later, the quality of the cloth was not great, nor the pockets were stitched properly. KnyaMed's order was just placed, let's see what they deliver. 

Update: KnyaMed did not satisfy me. 

Update: MedTogs scrub suits completely mind-blowing! Truly heaven - I am thinking to use them for home use also! 

If you're little or more healthy, get your double set of scrubs made by the local tailor. 

As most of these sites are new, I would say to opt for Cash on delivery option in most of these sites.

Kolkata's Cheenepara: Toong On Church

Introduction to Kolkata's old China Town - Tiretti Bazar can be found here

It can be assumed that the immigrant Chinese had no exact word for their place of worship and community meeting place - they started calling them as church as the British called their own place of worship. Though these Taoist temples have no link of Christianity.

Just like Kolkata's old China Town is more than the Chinese Breakfast, these Taoist temples are more than religious centers. 

Toong On Church is the first Chinese temple you will find if you are coming from the Central Metro station.

​Old China Town in Kolkata - Introducing The Bazar of Mr. Tiretta

Tho​​ugh I have written about Old China Town previously on my blog, this one is distinct cover up on the Old China Town of Kolkata.

Introduction: Old Chinatown of Kolkata - Teriti Bazar


Lion Dance in Territi Bazar - Celebration of Chinese New Year 2023

First thing I came to know about this place was the Chinese breakfast at Tiretta Bazar (in Bengali it is often pronounced as Teriti Bazar/টেরিটি বাজার). It was back in 2013 when I first visited this place, later I did some web search to get the idea of old China Town of Kolkata (কলকাতার চীনেপাড়া)  - the history of Chinese colonies and how the community evolve in the center of Calcutta despite the crime, gangsters and opium. 

Chinese people has long history of coming to India since the time of Fa Hien in early 400's and Hiuen Tsang during 600's. But in modern India Yang Daijang (British called him Tong Achew /টং অছি) was the first Chinese man to settle in Budge Budge, 33 km south of Calcutta. The place Achipur (আছিপুর), near Budge Budge is named after him (Achew). He started a sugar mill there in 650 bighas of land when Warren Hastings was the Governor General (1774-1785). Many says the sugar got its Bengali name, Cheeni (চিনি) as it was made by the Chinese immigrants.

5G Updates: Jio 5G-SA vs Airtel-Vi 5G-NSA, Netcon-Athonet, Jio's 5G Ambulance


India's 5G goes mainstream as Jio and Airtel two of four telecom service providers have launched their 5G commercial services. But there is another excitement awaiting with 5G - that's private 5G networks. Adani Data Networks is the single company in the country who will launch only private 5G, while Jio, Airtel and Vi are capable of launching private 5G as the trio have acquired spectrum in 26GHz band. 

Private 5G networks are the latest excitement to the industry, as it would support Indian enterprises preparing for the Industry 4.0 revolution.

Home grown smaller IT infrastructure and digital solutions providers are working to bring their own private 5G solutions. In October 2022, Chennai based Netcon Technologies (https://netcontechnologies.com) has launched Private 5G solutions in collaboration with Italy based Athonet (https://athonet.com). The solutions were unveiled at the recently concluded India Mobile Congress 2022 in New Delhi.
