Believe It Or Not : Food At Rs 5.00 Only

Its not just a breaking news. It has just broken all records of history of nasty rumors, oh no its not the history of nasty rumors, perhaps it has broken all records of absurd barking. I think no it was not an absurd barking even, I think it has broken all records of sully piggishness or should I call it of breaking all records of vomiting shit? I am confused!!! But, never ashamed for using such dirty words for it. Believe it or not! But, the actual filthy abuse which came to my mind, I can't put it down here due to my own moral limitations, when I saw at television a congress spokesperson Rashid Masood, acclaiming that Rs 5.00 is all which is required to feed you well at Delhi.

The dirty dose to the mind did not stopped here only. Another actor turned politician and congress spokesperson Raj Babbar found shouting to substantiate that at Mumbai its Rs 12.00 enough to assuage your hunger.

Both of them were attempting to validate the stand of central governments discrimination of poverty line where a person earning more than Rs 33.00 and Rs. 27.00 for urban and rural areas respectively should not be considered below poverty line.

I am sure, its going to achieve enough space and much bolder headlines in tomorrow's newspapers. It has already been a most popular debate on television news channels today. I don't know how many people have been able to feed their hunger with Rs 5.00 at Delhi and with Rs. 12 at Mumbai but, definitely it is a mega dose of feeding for the media and politicians. They will continue cooking their bread for a longer with this issue.

Now, it is an issue for me to what to do? Should I plan to celebrate the economy of India? Or, I should try to find a place in India where I can buy a pure and adequate dose of POISON with this amount for a happy ending of my life. I am doubtful of getting it with this price. Believe It Or Not....I am not able to afford the cost of treatment if the POISON is not proved pure and adequate to end up my life...

I hereby request the government of India to locate me the place where I can buy a thali of food at Rs 5.00 at Delhi, or the same at Rs. 12.00 in Mumbai or the dose of POISON at same price in these two places. I'll prefer to survive or to die at these places. Since, I am confirm that I can't buy either food or the POISON with this amount in rest of India.

Suggestions in this regard shall be very humbly solicited...

* Please note it is a post for the sake of fun only not to hurt anyone's sentiment.

I was in blues, Since I had no shoes : I saw, I learnt

From the very childhood, I was about to understand that once has to make various compromises throughout the life. Issues may be small or the big. Reasons may be valid or may not. Could not get admission in the most desired school. Reason: No seats vacant. Sorry, you are late. Papa said: No Problem, There are other good schools too.

I had a very lovely toy, which I always kept as a most precious occupancy of mine. Once my little younger cousin came and saw it. Though, I tried my best to hide it from his eyes, but he started crying for it. Mom gave it to him and consoled me that she'll buy another for me. But, that day not came again and I had to be satisfied without it.

Being eldest of the family, also proved as a curse to me since I had to forgo many a things for my younger ones quite often. I could not get many desired things many a times since, Papa could not afford it for me. I could not achieve many desired objectives for my life since, I was not advised or supported properly.

This was the way I grown up with certain grieves and complexes. I was losing my self confidence. My personality had a quite adverse effect of all such experiences and gradually I was getting demotivated too. Such unpleasant experiences of life had made a noticeable impression that life is full of compromises, so just compromise with the things and situations.

It has laid me into a state of depression, when I started thinking that if the things are not in my hand then why to try for any betterment. Leave it to the destiny and just wait for the results for any damn issue. This critical state of my mind affected quite adversely time and again. I had to witness a series of failures as it was inevitable. And every failure took me back in the same rather more worst state of mind.

I was helpless. No one was ready to accept me as I was labeled as a failure. No one was ready to help me in any endeavor of mine. I was also very much suspicious while making a move. I always had a negative notion that perhaps I don't possess the prerequisites for this assignment.   

On a fine morning I saw a Quote published in a newspaper which was as under :

I WAS IN BLUES, 

SINCE, I HAD NO SHOES,

ONCE, AT THE CORNER OF A STREET,

I SAW A MAN, WHO HAS NO FEET.......

      

I kept on reading it again and again....and suddenly I felt a gross change in my thought. I started finding myself much better than others. I was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses quite rationally. Now, I didn't had my grieves with life. Now I had another positive and optimistic view for looking towards an opportunity. Now there were hopes. Still it is adding strength whenever I do face any problem or a failure. It has made me understand that how to accept my failures as a tool for another success of my life....

Though, I don't know who had written these lines but whenever I remember it my head bows down in respect.

Further the second quote that had offered a great dimension to my personality is :

Yadi Tomar Dak Sune Keu Na Aashe 

Tobe, Ekla Chalo Re......

Means : If someone does not responds to your call, then move ahead alone....

Mid Day Meal: A Gruesome Catastrophe

A very few days have gone when BIHAR has witnessed this ignominious incident when several children died after having Mid Day Meal, which was offered to them by their schools. This was not just an incident to which one should keep quiet and watch for the further consequences related to it. Rather, it was a time when every sensible person was forced to think over the cause and the remedy in order to prevent it happen any more any further. This was not a natural calamity. But, it was a result of gross failure of the political and administrative vision and responsibility. It has left several questions behind which needs to be answered and a very serious probe of the entire system.

Almost entire nation has witnessed these whole tragedy through various media. It is really a time to understand and appraise the role of media also. What exactly we have seen? Various television channels covering the news and taking interviews of victims and other possible responsible persons. Making Headlines, Breaking News and concentrating on their T.R.Ps as well. It is really a matter to be assessed that whether these news channels have got only this much of responsibility? To show the story and/or to show an interview or to conduct a debate of politicians(those who are easy for them to find to discuss on any damn issue).

Most of these politicians are always available for these news channels for any issue. Since they don't have to do anything with the seriousness of the issue. They are taking it as an opportunity to come on TV and to promote themselves only. What exactly happens in these debates? Just blaming each other and to prove each other incompetent. Anything else? Ultimately, what happens? The main issue is given ground in the shout and noise of these kind of debates.

It was surprising yet painful to see none has taken a serious approach to find out the root of crisis and a remedy for the same. It was not discussed that ultimately for whose welfare these schemes are being carried out and who are the real beneficiary for all such welfare programs? The Intention and Implication of all such programs are always influenced by various political aspirations. And every time the ultimate victim is the poor third estate. Till, these practices won't be stopped these accidents or calamities are inevitable and will keep on crushing the poor common man.

It is another very sad and disquieting fact that the entire education system of the nation has gone victimized of political opportunism. Till now there is not a common education program applicable uniformly throughout the nation. So far primary or secondary education is concerned there are several education systems in force like C.B.S.E., I.C.S.E and various other Education Boards or Councils of different States. Further, some community based education system is also running and is approved by the government with some obvious reasons.

In totality if we give a Close Watch to the entire education system then it is revealed that most of the government schools do not follow the C.B.S.E. or I.C.S.E. pattern and the quality of education is extremely pathetic in government schools. Even after 66 years of independence the status of government institutes are depicting unfortunate stories only. Even after spending billions in the name of education uncountable schools and colleges are there those who don't have their furnished buildings, still there are many schools at primary and secondary level where there is no facility of essential utility like TOILETS and DRINKING WATER. Schools are running even without a  proper sitting arrangement. Thousands of schools are there running in one or two rooms only. A few are there where it is not a single room even and the classes are conducted under the shadow of a tree.

Under such pathetic and pitiable situation gradually the schools started facing crisis of students and it became difficult for the government to accept the failure of the system and then started the various methods of allurement to attract children towards the schools. Every time such decoy duck has came in existence to put a curtain on the actual crisis. The political parties and the leaders had been great experts of squeezing out opportunities from the adversities. Different politicians have introduced various schemes as per their choices and preferences in order to attract a certain mass. Schemes like, Mid Day Meal, Mukhya Mantri Poshak Yojana, Free Bicycle distribution and even the recent Free Laptop Distribution have been launched with such political aspirations only. Of course while implementing such programs talking big values associated with it had been a unique sideline of all politicians all the times. History is evident that all such schemes are the proven resources of scams and monkey sharing among the politicians and administrative bodies.

Any one can find it now, that even a rickshaw puller is also concerned to offer good education to his children and sends them in a private school for a better education. People are aware now about education. If the quality of education is not improved, it will never solve the crisis. A recent example is from Delhi, where almost 70% students were not able to get admissions in colleges. The main reason for it was the poor level of education offered in government institutes and secondly there were not enough colleges to accommodate all students passing out from various schools.

Now coming back to the issue, the critical incident of CHHAPRA, after two or three days of the incident a news was there that all Headmasters will have to taste the food first before serving it to the children. What is this? Is this not another curtain covering? Is this going to solve the crisis anyway? Is this not a process to escape from the responsibility? Are we making fun? Are we playing a musical chair game? Where everyone is trying to find a safe zone?

It needs to be understood that the main focus has to be given on the quality of education. We have witnessed since long that the politicians have taken granted for attempting all of their mischievous experiments with the education system or in the name of it. Have we ever tried to endorse a stop on it?  Are we aiming seriously for a strengthen pillar of our society?

Like many others do you also believe that this was an accident only and there should be a probe to find the culprit and to sentence him or her a punishment? Or, you consider it a gruesome catastrophe as an inevitable outcome of such blind aspiration of political greediness?

Hope, this time you won't keep quiet. Rush your comments please...

A diet or death?

Jharkhand State : A Political Laboratory

The political dilemma of JHARKHAND has over and  Hemant Soren has sworn in as Chief Minister of the state. It was a long run drama in the political circle which fed well to the news hungry news channels. Everyone, busy in making a prediction whether Hemant will be able to prove his majority? How the majority will be managed? Who will be the partners? What shall be the life and fate of this government? But, nobody talked about the status of state. What's happening to the development of the state? What,s happening with the future of youth of the state? What's happening with the poor people who are victim of this political wrestling every now and then? And, the most irritating question that in such insecure and volatile political situation who should be held responsible for playing with the state's poor voters and their expectations with a government?

It was 15th November 2000 when JHARKHAND was declared a New State separated from Bihar. No one had a thought then that it will be converted as a political laboratory... It has not completed even 13 years of its inception and this time Hemant Soren has sworn as 9th Chief Minister of the state. Meanwhile, there was president rule also there in the state for twice...It could be better understood with the chart given below the tenure of the Chief Ministers of the state.

          *Data Source: Wikipedia

The longest duration of a government in the state is 860 days. Till now none of the Chief Minister has been able to complete his term. In the situation stated above a question comes to the mind quite suddenly that what exactly is the benefit of making JHARKHAND a separate state. Has it gone for any benefit of the people or it was an arrangement made by the political parties for feeding their hunger of power? At a glance it is only proved that the political parties are doing all their exercises to make sure that by this way or that how to be in the power and how to avail benefits associated with it?

Every time when there is shift of power the main loser is the innocent public who sends these politicians to the assembly after electing them. But, have these parties been able ever to take care of the issues of the state and the poor people those who elect them. Entire time, energy and the resources for development is consumed in managing the tenure and the power. It is a big question now that why there was a big hue and cry for making JHARKHAND  a separate state? Who had given this right to these politicians of the monkey sharing of the expectations of poor voters?

Is it an obvious doubt that whether there is a fix among all these politicians? Where they had a deal to share the power at a pre decided intervals. They will perform the scams as per their wish and potential and no one shall be held responsible or convicted. Another, chance shall be given to every one as an honest game rule. Or, in fact the state has converted into a political laboratory where one has to wait for the final results of the experiments being carried out since last 13 years.....

A Silent Adieu : No More Telegrams

Long long back I remember, the paucity of communication tools. A major disability of mankind to express anything to a person not before you. Several obstacles were also there to blame for it. Thanks to Indian Post and Telegraph Department people had an option to convey through letters. POSTCARD, INLAND and ENVELOPE Were the choice according to the paying capacity of an individual and the need based upon the nature of message. Sometimes, one had to choose between the most economical or most urgent. A POSTCARD was the most economical mode of sending communication whereas the A TELEGRAM was the costliest. TELEGRAMS were the choice only in case there was an emergency. 

As a TELEGRAM was a costliest mode and was sent in the most urgent conditions, its delivery was also ensured so promptly. Even, in a dark rainy night its delivery was ensured. The cost of a telegram was based on the length of the message, so it was always preferred to choose shortest messages. Here are few glimpses of those shortest and popular telegraphic messages.

1. Mother serious come soon.
2. Father hospitalized send money.
3. Sister's marriage finalised on --/--/----
4. Wife sick proceeding on leave. Letter         follows.

Likewise, several message codes were also there where one has to put the code only on the TELEGRAM booking form and a detailed message was conveyed to the recipient. 

In older days a TELEGRAM was always received as an event and were opened with a sense of apprehension or trepidation as they were concerned for the welfare or the safe living of their dear ones. 

It was one of the most favorite and reliable mode of communication for Jawans of army for communicating with their official and family matters or to ask for a leave or an extension for the same. 

After 163 years of TELEGRAMS, B.S.N.L. decided to stop this service from last 16th July 2013. Since, there was no relevance of this service where a much faster mode of communications are made available, when one can communicate with the speed of the thoughts coming in the mind.

In this present era of Computers and IT, when communication has become a handy tool for everyone, the service of TELEGRAMS had lost its relevance and utility.

This was the reason, after the announcement of closure of  this service, no noise was there. Even, many people are not aware or concerned about it. But, while remembering the past one can understand the worth and greatness of this service which has served the humanity with a lot of its grace and concern.   

But today, when the people are blessed or empowered with the extremely advanced mode of communication can't be concerned for it. However, many had given tribute to this service by sending a last TELEGRAM to their closed ones with a hope that they will keep it as a memorabilia. 

Nevertheless, it was a silent adieu of a service which had taken care of the nation in every grief and delight with a tender touch. 

Just One Banana Every Day, Takes You Along A Healthy Way......

Banana is a fruit of choice of millions since ancient times for many reasons. Few most popular reasons for liking banana is mentioned below:


* It is freely available everywhere.
* It is economical.
* It is easy and convenient to carry even in journey.
* It tastes so good.

* It is considered as a pure food.
* It is a most preferred fruit to be offered to god (according to hindu religious belief). 
* It is not messy and easily manageable.

* It remains available throughout the year.

I am sure the list will keep on growing. Basically, there are uncountable reasons why banana has been a most preferred and loved fruit not only in India but, almost in every part of the world. At many places it is considered as a very safe and appropriate food to be given as a first solid food to a child.

This is such a popular fruit that you can find it selling, almost at every public place. Whether its a Fruit Market, Railway Station, Bus Stand, entrance of a Temple or even at the gate of a School. Of course, now it has occupied a considerably bigger space in departmental stores also. Somehow or somewhere the reason behind such popularity of this fruit is the health benefits associated with it.

Banana is known for its digestive property since long back from ancient times. It regulates digestive system by restoring normal bowel functions specially during diarrhea. Even after consuming too much of alcohol when there is an upset bowel, Banana helps restore the system quite wonderfully. Banana is enriched with potassium and electrolytes so, in diarrheal condition when there is excessive loss of electrolytes due to too much of runny stools it benefits like a panacea. Banana has also a lot of fibers which significantly help in aid digestion.

As said earlier Bananas do have potassium which is a vital mineral known to be effective in normalizing heartbeat. Potassium in banana helps adequate supply of oxygen to the brain and thus body's water balance is regulated. Due to risen metabolic rates during stress potassium levels are reduced. Hence, Just one banana a day... keeps stress away...sounds cool ???

Bananas are known to be rich in Iron and so it helps maintain the hemoglobin level of the body thus takes a good control over anemia. Thus, maintaining the hemoglobin level along with the additional added benefit of B6 banana maintains the glow of your skin also. Is this not a good deal ladies ? Just one banana everyday, keeps you glowing all the way...

Whenever, there is a cramp please remember to have a banana once again due to its potassium and magnesium as well as B6 content. Both potassium and magnesium are used by human body in electrical exchanges of nerves and muscles. Therefore, whether it is a menstrual cramp or just any other muscular cramps banana helps in getting rid of cramps. So, what you'll say ? Just one banana a day...keeps the cramps far away...   

This amazing fruit helps strengthening your bones too, you know ? Basically, bananas are enriched with fructooligosaccharides which provides nourishment to some friendly bacteria being present in the human body specially at colon. They produce some digestive enzymes which are responsible for better and enhanced absorption of Calcium and Magnesium and thus the bones get strengthened. So, do you agree ? Just one banana in a day...lets the bone stronger way...

It may sound crazy but it is a fact that Banana helps quit smoking. Since, there is Vit B6 and B12 found naturally as well there is Potassium and Magnesium also available in Banana which, are found quite helpful in the conditions like nicotine withdrawal syndrome. Hence, if you have a desire to quit smoking banana augments your desire. Now, should I say ? Just one banana a day... smoking ??? NO WAY..... 

Banana considerably boosts the production of serotonin and dopamine, which is known as a  moderate mood elevator so, consuming banana keeps your mood fresh.  Now, you can say goodbye to depression. This is another good reason to eat a banana every day. Isn't it ? Well, let's say...Just one banana everyday...Keeps you on all the day....

Now onwards please remember what I say...
Just One Banana Every Day, Takes You Along A Healthy Way......

Vitiated Peace: Alarmed Buddha

The holy land of knowledge and peace, has been targeted today to destroy the belief of billions. It was the city of peace, which had received a blur set to fell down the glory and repute established from ancient times. The city BODHGAYA commonly named as a city of peace has suffered the awful yet disgraceful assault when eight bombs blasted this early morning in the area of Mahabodhi Temple. Which has smudged the name and fame of the city, state as well as the nation. 



The coward act like this deserves the intense condemnation as well as a serious retort. So what, if we are known as the follower of the principle of nonviolence, none can be allowed to shatter the heritage of peace and harmony of ours. Unfortunately, it has happened time and again. This time also it is not just an attack on a monument only. It is an attack on a heritage, It is an attack on a belief and it is an attack on a philosophy too. Since ancient times Buddha and Buddhism has graced the world with the philosophy of peace and nonviolence. This is not at all tolerable and needs to be replied reciprocally. But, whenever we retrospect the past it doesn't give any credence that we are about to have a solution for it.

Undoubtedly, it is another hatred act performed by the militants which has demolished the awesome glory of the nation. But, the more hatred than this act is the reaction which is coming from the corners of political gallery. This is not the first time when the nation has faced this type of attack. Every time, after such circumstances it is observed that a great amount of energy is wasted by the politicians to blame each other in order to prove the inefficiency of their opponents. It is really disturbing to see such act from those to whom we have authorized to decide the shape and future of our country. It also observed always that in the noise of their cat-fight, the culprits get advantage of the situation and escape from the hands of law. 



Once again, this game of back biting is on. Once again there are arrows of allegations and recriminations. 



It is awfully beyond comprehension, what our government and judiciary is doing all about? Why there is no fear of law among those terrorist? Till when we are destined to live under the cruel shadow of dread and terror? 

Awesome Rain Once Again: Some Healthy Tips

Whenever its rain, it's truly difficult for me to stop myself. So, this is a post immediately after my first post about the rain. As I believe that rains are there for the adornment of nature. Somehow, its a process of personal care which nature does herself periodically. Immediately, after one or two rainy episodes there is greenery everywhere and the waste dirty materials are taken away with the flow of water. It seems that the nature has completed her beautification to attract all those who love it.

But, sometimes in some places there is a problem with drainage system and it causes severe crisis. There is a great threat to health and hygiene during this season due to this inconvenience. In this situation it becomes quite essential to take utmost care in order to avoid and to prevent from the sudden assault of most common waterborne diseases. Here are few tips which might be quite helpful in prevention of such unhealthy conditions.

So, be prepared as it is said s prevention is better than cure. It is better to arm yourself as soon there is a hint of the season. Please check and ensure that you have enough umbrellas, raincoats and gumboots and see to it that everything is in order and does not requires any repair or replacement. Since, you never know when you are going to need them. In case you require to to be attired with some latest and stylish in tune of the most modern fashion, then also plenty of new arrivals in stores waiting for you to etract your wallet.  

Even, with all such precautions if you are caught in the rain, then immediately after coming back to home, it is advisable to have a fresh bath and wipe up yourself with a clean cotton towel completely. Avoid moisture from your body as there are chances to develop fungal infection which is most common these days. Keep yourself as well as your home well sanitized. You should check it properly that your clothes are not moist before putting it on. It may cause skin infections like rashes and eruptions which are the most unpleasant and irritating conditions you know.

Please make sure that food is cooked well before eating. Consume plenty of water and avoid eating raw foods like salads. Street foods must be avoided even if you are tempted the most for it. Waterborne diseases like diarrhea, dysentery or gastritis are quite common during this season. To avoid such conditions, always take a moderately hot or warm food and drinks during the season. Plenty of hot drinks like tea or coffee are best this time. Especially, if it is a holy basil tea, its a wonderful remedy to keep you free from many infections as well. Must include ginger and garlic as a regular spice in your food as both are having unique medicinal benefits.

Taking care of your children this season is quite important since, they tend to run and play in water and are caught of several health problems like cough, cold and fever. Improper cleaning of their hands and feet may also create some health issues to them. So, taking a sincere care is essential. You may keep few packs of ORS available at your home in order to being ready for some adverse diarrheal conditions. 

The biggest and most common health threatening conditions in this season are hosted by various species of mosquitoes and insects who grow tremendously in this season. Diseases like Malaria, Dengue and Chickengunya are quite common this season. As you are aware that the mosquitoes grow on logged water very rapidly. Better, you make some provisions to avoid water logging or if it is unavoidable then you must spray some bleaching power and kerosine oil on the logged water. It helps to prevent growth of mosquitoes and insects. Taking a prophylactic dose of anti-malarials may also be a good option. In addition to it you should use a powerful anti mosquito repellant to keep your house free from mosquitoes and insects. Always remember "Ek Machchhar Bhi Dangerous Hai." or you may remember the famous Nana Patekar dialogue "Ek Machchhar Aadmi Ko........." So...Always Take Care of yourself. 

    
Still, with all odds as I consider this is a wonderful season which makes you feel refreshed and rejuvenated. Yes, some precautions may be required to let you enjoy the best of this season. May you cherish the enlivening shower of nature accompanied with an igniting love and romance. 

Let's remember this beautiful season for its grace, glory, and gorgeousness only not for the adversities, which are mostly due to our own negligence and frolic deeds with the nature. 

Amen...
