“Plz don’t kill me” says, the female fetus

 

 

Unfortunately, ours has always been a male dominated society. Since ages man has been proud to treat women more as a mere slave than as an equal partner. Though, known by many beautiful names such as better half, fair sex, and devis; women have been abused physically, morally, sexually, economically and politically too.

 

But the most disturbing dimension that has been added now to the heartless cruelty against women is to kill a female child even before her birth. Science progressed and gave us a device called “ultrasound”, to detect ailments and abnormalities inside human body. Ironically, man is using this device to detect the sex of the child even before it is born. Imagine a mother who agrees to have the fetus exterminated, if it happens to be a female. How cruel???????

 

I was rather surprised to see the statistics, which show an increase in the number of parents, who willingly present themselves for aborting the female fetus. How can a mother become so hard hearted as to kill her own daughter even before she is born?

The entire society, some foolish religious beliefs and our wretched customs; all are to be blamed for this heartless act.

 

If you talk to the couples, who willingly exterminate their unborn daughter, the reasons provided by them sound too hollow and fake. Such parents present you with a long list of troubles which they feel starts with the birth of the girl child. They feel that these days it is very difficult to maintain the security of the girl child. It is even more difficult to find a good match for her. And the hardest part they feel is arranging for the dowry and still the demands and agonies never die even after her marriage. All these theories and opinions give the parents a shiver at the birth of a female child. They find it much easier to kill her in the womb rather than to suffer for the rest of their lives.

 

But can such an immoral action be justified by these hollow reasons??

 

Human race can never continue if this shameful act of female feticide continues for long. Even today the male-female ratio in India is adversely tilted against women. How long can men survive without the other half??

 

The only mantra to save society from this doom is focused education. The parents need to be educated in order to generate public opinion against female feticide. The rules and regulations made by the government will never work unless we come out of our prejudices and develop a rational attitude.

Discipline- A necessity to revive India

 

“Discipline” refers to a proper training and control of mind and character. It is a necessity to conduct life in accordance with rules and regulations. It can not be obtained without voluntary obedience to some fixed codes of behavior. Discipline may put some checks on your freedom, but a person free to do his will, can create havoc in the world. It is in fact impossible to lead a civilized life, without the check of discipline.

 

Discipline contributes towards “work and progress” and both the terms will sound meaningless in it’s absence. People usually make the mistake of associating discipline with cut down of freedom whereas discipline is undoubtedly the foundation of all freedom. The charm and value of freedom can not be realized without the discipline.

 

The deteriorating standards of discipline in our daily lives have already started showing colors. It has given birth to such an immense amount of violence, criminal acts, inefficiencies and corruption. You hardly find anyone taking his or her work seriously. Whatsoever be the field, indiscipline has eaten the roots of honesty; moral values and above all social and national life. Schools and colleges, which were once known as temples of learning have converted into hot beds of indiscipline.

 

These days, indiscipline has completely defiled the atmosphere. Is this the atmosphere in which we want our children to grow and flourish??? There is a dire necessity to take steps and realize our responsibilities. We can at least do our share of the duty with genuine sincerity by making our life more disciplined. Basically, it has to come from within and once the importance of discipline is realized, the existing world will become more organized and peaceful. So, be a contributing hand to make India a better place to live.

Back pain at a glance

Back pain is the price a man pays for walking on two legs. In quadrupeds, the weight is evenly distributed on the four limbs and the spine just acts as a beam between the shoulder and the pelvic girdle whereas in bipeds the entire weight of the body is on the lower limbs and is borne by the spine itself.

 

Spine is not a rigid structure but composed of vertebrae with intervertebral discs, which act as cushions between the vertebrae. These discs are further surrounded by muscles and ligaments, which ensure that undue pressure is not exerted on them.

 

 

Pre-Disposing Factors to Back Pain

 

1. Incorrect posture: Maintaining an incorrect posture is one of the most common factors leading to back pain. Being in the same position for long hours; incorrect posture while lying down, sleeping and sitting; getting up with a jerk and over-stretching of muscles, all contribute to back pain.
2. Obesity: An incorrect weight causes extra strain and pressure in the spine, which results in backache.
3. Sedentary lifestyle: Our life styles are often a potential factor leading to backache. There is absolutely no time for the maintenance of body in our lives.
4. Lack of exercise: Muscles require a proper toning to keep the body flexible and strong. Inactivity and lack of exercise results in a weak body frame, which is more prone to back pain.
5. Stress; physical and mental: Physical and mental stress plays a very important role in aggravating back pain. These days we find so much of stress at home and work place that it becomes difficult to cope up.
6. Unhealthy food habits: Lack of nutrition is a common problem among young people due to their tilt towards junk and fast food. Hence, 5% of young population suffers from back pain.
7. Lack of sleep: uncomfortable bed and late night lifestyle can also result in back pain.
8. Post menopausal and age related Osteoporosis: As we get old, our bones become weaker and the risk of getting a back pain increases significantly.
9. Pregnancy and childbirth: As the fetus grows in weight, it exerts a pressure on the spine, causing back pain. Back pain is a common symptom in women, who undergo a C-section.

 

 

Causes of Back Pain

 

      Tuberculosis, trauma, tumor and television!!!!!!

 

·        Tuberculosis: An old age adage in India is “when in doubt think T.B.”. Tuberculosis of spine is very common even in the affluent class, as back pain is often ignored.

·        Trauma: Despite of the precautions like seat belts, air bags and helmets; people become a trauma victim. An array of spine injuries is very common in accidents which can lead to a life long backache.

·        Tumor: Spine is the commonest site for metastasis deposits of various malignant tumors and back pain is often the presenting symptom of people suffering from cancer.

·        Television: We all can smile, once we think how we become crouch potatoes as we come home and keep surfing channels with total disregard to the spine

 

 

“Prevention is better than cure” has been drilled into us since we were children. THERE IS NO CURE FOR BACK PAIN, however pessimistic it might sound. But the severity of the back pain can be reduced by:

 

·        Maintaining a correct posture

·        Maintaining a correct body weight

·        Including exercise routine in your daily life

·        Reducing physical and mental stress by the means of yoga, meditation and morning walks.

·        Taking a nutritional diet

·        Taking proper sleep

·        Ensuring proper care and maintenance of the body during menopause, pregnancy and old age.

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

Formula 1 in India

 

 

 

Recently, India has been quite eager to stage a Formula One race. The Indian Olympic Association was pleased to receive a letter from the administration of F1 permitting them to bring the race in 2010. But it was not easy for India as the Indian administration was asked to meet several difficult standards which mainly included the financial strategy. Though, the deadline to meet these conditions has been extended, said Mr. Suresh Kalmadi, the president of Indian Olympic Association.

 

 

 

The preparations to host the first Formula One Grand Prix have already been begun. The management has approved of two sites, both situated at the outskirts of Delhi, but the final choice is in the hands of the IOA, being the race promoters. One of the sites is near to the industrial area of Gurgaon and the other is in Greater Noida. The contract for the building of track has not yet been given to any business group and the IOA has invited the Delhi government to intervene in the decision.

 

 

 

Today, India is rated as a rising hi-tech country. The progress of India has been on a considerable elevation by the addition of several vehicle manufacturers. The country has got potential reasons for having Formula One racing, as Formula One is a technology driven sport. The commercial viability of the racing track has to be increased by adding up various industrial parks, special economic zones, etc to it.

 

 

 

An investment of round about Rs350-500 crores is required to set up the whole infrastructure. But the amount is worth investing, as India will become one of those privileged countries who can boast of having Formula One circuits. The best part of having formula one in India is its annual conduct unlike World Cup and Olympics which take place only once in four years.

 

 

 The viewership of Formula One was found to exceed majority of sports in the world. The media was surprised to have a huge viewership of around 70 million when Formula One was broadcasted live on Doordarshan. It further rose to 91.3 million when Mr. Ecclestone, Formula One boss, was interviewed live from the race track at Silverstone. The craze of Formula One among the Indians just shows itself.

 

 

Narain Karthikevan and Karun Chandok have sparkled and shined for India and have also increased the pride of having Formula One in India. India is sure to overcome all the hurdles which may come in establishing the Formula One racing track. So let us keep our fingers crossed and wait for the BIG event……     

 

Wake to forge an India sans corruption

 

 

These days world has turned materialistic, where money has become the be-all and end-all of every individual. Our craving for more and more money does not come to an end. The endless desires of life increase the insatiable lust for the money. Man does not mind getting rich even by foul means.

 

This lust has given birth to corruption in public life. Things have become so stringent that feeling of compunction has totally vanished among common people. Corruption has in fact become a way of life and is often taken for granted by a vast majority. Corruption well proves the adage “money makes the mare go”.

 

 Isn’t it a matter to laugh that a person apprehended of taking bribes, can go scot-free by giving bribes? Such is the elevation in corruption that the society is moving towards total collapse. There are multiple ways in which corruption flourishes in our country. Within a short span of time, it has risen to a high political level. It has basically taken the form of trade. Hoarding, black-marketing and adulterating things, all are various colors of corruption. Human life is often played with in order to earn huge profits. The saddest part of the whole scenario is that it takes place right under the nose of our efficient official machinery. Higher officials connive with these people and share the booty. What a shame indeed!!!!!!!!!!

 

There is absolutely no field of life that has remained untouched by this evil of corruption. Trade, industry, commerce, administration, police, courts and the list goes on and on. You just name any department and one thing you are going to find for sure is CORRUPTION.

 

Where are we Indians leading ourselves to? Modern materialistic values have overwhelmed us to such a degree that we have become oblivious to our old ethics and the faith we had in them. Leave alone the moral values we have even lost faith in ourselves!!!!!!!!

 

The situation has become really alarming and a mass movement is required to cleanse and alter the infrastructure of our society. We all should wake up to realize that there is a dire need to free our country from poverty, exploitation and corruption.

 

 

More about myself

I AM 27 YEARS OLD AND HAPPILY MARRIED. I AM A PROUD MOTHER OF TWIN BOYS. I HAVE RAISED MY KIDS WITH A LOT OF LOVE AND PATIENCE.

SOMETIMES I FEEL ANXIOUS AS TO HOW THEY WILL BE REFLECTING IN FUTURE BUT I HAVE TRUST IN ALMIGHTY AND EVERYTHING WILL HAPPEN FOR THE BEST.

MY HUSBAND IS SENIOR SALES MANAGER IN A REPUTED INSURANCE COMPANY.

I AM WORKING AS A FREELANCE WEB CONTENT WRITER FOR DIFFERENT SITES. ONE OF THEM IS A MEDICAL SITE AND I LOVE MY WORK.

BASICALLY MY WHOLE LIFE REVOLVES AROUND TWO THINGS: FAMILY AND WORK.

I-ME-MYSELF

To pen down your feelings takes quite an effort. It is very difficult to make the right choice of words, which have the capability to convey exactly how you feel. Have been struggling since past few weeks to write something. But what to write? I thought about my life and then again started wondering what to write out of it. I actually belong to a small town in India. I went out to study Engineering in another small town. I still do not know what made me take that sort of decision. I somehow completed my graduation but the stuff I got through never got into my mind. At my college also I was never interested in calculations and observations.  .                                                                                   

 The town in which I went to complete my college always had unbearable summers but despite of it, the place had wonderful evenings. So, in the evening I used to go to the terrace of my hostel and sit there for hours together gazing at the moors. I loved the breeze brushing upon my body and souls, making them relax. I always love to be near to nature.Waterbodies have always attracted me, as I can observe the flowing water continuously for long hours. Water is a greatest miracle in itself. Flowing water has always fascinated me, it gives me an impression of flowing time. I can not return to the time which has already passed, similarly neither can I ever see the same water again.I came back to my hometown after graduating and within a few months got married. I conceived after six months of getting married and had a difficult pregnancy, most of the time being advised by my doctor to take a complete bed rest. After exactly seven months from my conception I gave birth to twin boys. My children were “premature” and weighed 1100 grams each. My doctor told me that such children need special attention and care. Hence I started a very unique journey of motherhood.
