Yes little pause is must to refresh the mind Nd to break the monotony.

A break for a researcher can serve as a creative fuel. No researcher (rather no human being)is designed to work constantly and consistently. S(he) needs a break not only to break the monotony, but also to get refreshed for a spirited zeal towards the next phases to continue. Festivals create the situation to meet peers and friends and to pass a pleasant time joyfully.Taking breaks in festive occasions in the mental work of a researcher in a lab is equally helpful, and can be a great boost to his/her productivity as well.

It's a kind of unplugging....stepping outside in open air.....taking some breathe....and recharging oneself.....

RESEARCH will then, definitely, see the TRUTH.

Taking rest discontinuing the regular work is actually a part of the work, as the action of the eye lid on eye.

Impressive quarry. Yes I think breaking up from work for a while and spending joyful times and relaxation with family and friends, is helpful to maintain a fresh back to do more hard work

Yes, I think it is important.

For sure, yes it is true at least to disconnect of disappointing things and problems that you face in this field.

Yes little pause is must to refresh the mind Nd to break the monotony.

Yes, festival breaks help in motivating and invigorating the researchers for enhancing concentration on research work. Festivals can provide researchers the opportunity to refresh their minds and divert their attention from work for a while.

Agree with you Dr. Ashok Pundir

- festival breaks help in motivating and invigorating the researchers!

agree with you that it helps researchers focus on their research because they represent an opportunity to change the atmosphere and comfort after a long period of stressful work .

Yes has a role in activating researchers

Greeting

For every individuals festivals create & environment for joy & pleasure both within our home & also in our social surrounding where we observe all the person in happy , & gay mood .Even in festival environment professional personnel & the member of staff carry out their performance with inner silent pleasure which may help them to perform the action in a very satisfaction of their action .

We do not wish to omit research personnel as we have started their morning with the family in a happy environment & afterward when they come to research program including their working in their laboratory they may also carry out their action even with their colleague in a happy mood .

Festival are boon to society as their entire environment have a symbol of joy & happiness .

This is my personal opinion

sure

Conducting research almost invariably involves works requiring a lot of concentration and stress. Indubitably, festivals can offer a welcome break from the stresses of the task helping researchers to feel refreshed because they find a chance to clear their heads and think about something other than research.

Sometimes pausing can be a refreshing motivation to resume even much better💪🏻

Festival breaks are critical junctions of the calendar, they have come to mark a turn in the creative flow with writers and researchers utilizing the time to unwind, reassess and recalibrate for greater productivity.

Taking a break to rest helps to re-energise and motivate towards achieving better.

Do you think festival breaks help in motivating and invigorating the researchers for enhancing concentration on research work?

Think this might work for some researchers and might not work for other researchers. E.g. in Malaysia whereby it is a multi-racial & multi-cultural countries that when a festival is celebrating by certain group of researchers, they might take a break to re-charge so that they can enhance their research further after the festive season. However at the same time, for those researchers who are not really celebrating the festival, they might take the same public holiday break to continue their research.

Thanks a lot Dr Segun, Dr Roy and Dr Han for sharing your valuable views.

Yes, somewhat affects on research activities.

Thanks a lot Dr Koli for sharing your valuable views.

Yes, we human and we need refresh

In India, there are holidays this week for few days to celebrate Diwali - a Festival of Lights. This will help in invigorating and re-energising the people as also Academicians and researchers.
