GRACEFUL AGING

Starting from film stars to politicians hiding ones age by different means may be by cosmetics, or medical means have become a fashion in recent times.Majority of film stars are colouring their hairs or wearing wigs to look young but unfortunately they are trying to run away from the realities of life , they are trying to cheat them selves, because they are in a pseudo world. Millions of liters of hair dye gives the finishing touch to our aging politicians, most of them look like jokers with pasted moustache and darkened hair on receding hair lines.The logic behind this is-- no one(mostly fools) want to look old!! HA-HA

Wishing all my viewers and readers a happy DUSHERA, may MAA bring you good luck and prosperity in years to come.

INDIAN VILLAGE

INDIAN VILLAGE:
How many of you have visited a village recently in India?? Not CWG village I mean.
Pathetic is the word I can use for most of the villages in Western Orissa. The roads are washed away in rain due to substandard construction; the schools are used as cowshed during monsoon. Villages bring back some of your childhood nostalgic memories as they are only for name sake, people have migrated to towns. Who is responsible for it? We are responsible, not to have returned back to our respective ones after retirement. But the love for one’s village is enough criteria or something else is required for a senior citizen? The answer is simple- the medical, electricity, water, communication and marketing facilities were all neglected during our planning programme. Our MPs and MLAs stayed away from villages for years together but could win elections after election through dubious means.They are present day king, press is in their hands so also the TV channels, some even have their own.Towns and cities are overcrowded, villages have a deserted look. Parental lands are being sold for a song in most of the Odisha villages like Mayurbhanj and Keonjhar district. Lands are purchased by illegal migrants from neighboring countries; ministers keep quite because these people go to cast 100% votes.

With a whipping Rs: 70000 crores (see the photographs)spent for this 3rd grade sports event (after Olympic and world sports) the Indian public will be busy with Dushera festival and after a week or so the Media will high light how we have benefited by this mega event called Common Wealth Games.
Every second day the odiya news papers publish photos of school children sitting under trees instead of school building as the walls are broken or roof is missing or school children taking their mid day meals on dirty surface along with stray dogs. My appeal :To Whom It May Concern is that we must use the public money in the right direction like maintenance of schools and colleges, village ponds, roads to villages, libraries, play grounds, drinking water facilities and well equipped health centers.
With so much of corruption our PM kept quiet even though he is the head of the state, if I am clean but people surrounding me are corrupt then I have to be part of it ,simply can’t escape by keep on saying(Media) that I am not aware of all these, keep quiet and be a goody goody PM.
We can have nice villages all over India with these Rs: 70000 crores. So let the public, press, Sen.’s and Ban’s find out a way to revive our villages up to the standard of Common Wealth game’s villages, if at all this is what a village means by international standards.

TESTMATCH CRICKET

As expected India made a clean 2-0 sweep in the test series, similarly the one day series with out Sachin and other big players will be 3--0 in India's favor.The present Australian team will soon be beaten by Bangladesh, like West-indies team they will be relegated to second division in world cricket.Poor team selection and aimless captaincy will ruin this team very soon.Players like Hauritz will not get a place in any state sides in India.My request to the Australian public who love their country should put their foot down or else time is running out for the ashes series.With this attack India will win ten out of ten games!! Tell me which team has lost matches maximum after scoring above 450 or 550?? It's Australia man!!

DECISION MAKING

From sunrise to sun set most of our actions are dictated by the TV/Media and newspapers and celebrity.What to eat what toothpaste to use, which soap is best for you, your wall paintings,which computers you must have, which cinema is a box office hit( actually its a media hit with lots of kickbacks) Tell me have you any voice to tell Robert film is a bogus one, people will beat you to death in South.In CWG India is now 3rd even after lots of our athletes were allowed to participate with dubious drug records.Out of 85 countries only 27 have got some medals, what about the rest 58- also ran?Lets make it a rule that those countries which do not win a single medal will not be allowed to participate with out a qualifying mark.People say river Jamuna which is the drainage system of Delhi has become dark(thanks to CWG) after the rain water have gone to the sea.
You analyze--your self you have no opinion of your own in this world of media hype and advertisement.

THOSE DAYS

This black and white photograph was taken during 1984 in a departmental picnic at fruit garden of Rourkela.One can spot senior sisters(nurses) and doctors in the photo.Those nostalgic memories die hard.

ALL THAT GLITTER IS NOT GOLD

The whole world knows that C W G (common wealth game)is being held this year at Delhi, India.Lots of politicians,including some from the present Government, bureaucrats, and intellectuals have criticized about the corruptions and colossal wastage of money in the name of sports.Very few know the other side of India- this picture speaks for itself.You are the best person to judge.

TEST CRICKET

What’s wrong with Australian Cricket?

First the team selection policy and the Captaincy.
Lets discuss the team selection policy: Wrong horses for wrong courses. Why player like North should get a place to tour India? Why this off spinner called Nathan Hurwitz gets a place in the team. He picks up odd one or two wickets on a turning track !! ha-ha.
Johnson the opening bowler with a Dracula look is hardly the bowler he was some two years back.
Clark, Hussey, North and Ponting have not scored more than 300 runs in last ten test matches and they are the backbone of the side!! Selectors pick up players when they are on the decline. Why David Hussey should not replace Mike Hussey? Cameron White should be made the captain for the Ashes series. Drop Hussey, Clark and North and bring fresh blood to the side. Young fast bowlers can make the change. Drop injury prone players. No place for Haddin the wicket keeper. Pick players keeping in mind the opponents strengths and weaknesses.
Coming to captaincy: Why Ponting did not use Clark not even for a couple of overs in both innings. If he is unfit to bowl show him the door. Why Not use an unorthodox bowler(Katich) to bowl to a no10 batsman? The irresponsible way he got out in both the innings should be enough to lose his captaincy? Why he quarreled with Khan, after all he is the captain of the side.
So to summarize bad captaincy and poor catching, batting and bowling change cost Australia the match They have no chance to square the series. They will lose the series 2-0.
PS: Compelled to write in my blog , because that bloody –Cricinfo.com gives you such letters to read to put back your views, you may land up exhausting all your energy guessing what’s written in black and white. Hope Australian public read this. I am an Indian but want to see an even contest not one sided ones that’s the reason i have published this one in my blog.

CANCER PHOBIA

CANCER PHOBIA:
Starting from sun rays to milk, any thing on earth can be carcinogenic ,do you know that?
The food you eat the medicine you take every day are likely to produce different types of cancer in your body. Nothing is safe. The milk you are drinking is carcinogenic ,if the cow has been injected with bovine growth hormones. The drugs one uses to fight cancer, it self can produce cancer! Drugs used by your orthopedic surgeon for bone growth can produce cancer. Insulin’s used to lower your sugar level can be dangerous, if it’s genetically modified. Newer insulin’s are not safe as the study shows. Unnecessary exposure to radiation by your doctors for investigation may cause more harm than good.
Many hormones used to keep your hormonal levels normal can create problems. Genetically modified food staffs can lead to genetically modifications of cells and malignant transformations. So the environment, food and drugs all in combination may result in malignancy in different organs of the body.
So what to do?
Thank GOD if you are disease free(CANCER) up to sixty years of age. Excepting few malignancy treatment is sheer wastage of time , money and energy, except that the doctors get the maximum benefits from your money. Tell me why so many rich and famous have died due to cancer even though it was diagnosed very early! Money can’t buy life, other wise so many rich Hollywood and Bollywood star would never have died due to heart disease or cancer.
Do not be afraid, lead a routine and disciplined life and live the rest to your destiny.

GOOD - BAD

BLACK AND THE WHITE:
If you are a follower of medical advice then read this. Why someone takes the advice seriously? Just to lead a healthy and long life. Why it fascinate me as a medical man ?Is the research results worth following or it’s just a gimmick. My sincere advice ; please do not follow it in first place to repent for it in later days.
1:Vegetarian food is good for you. Is it so? With tons of pesticide and cold storage food- how safe is it? Can every one get an organic vegetable? Is it genetically modified? Is it artificially colored?
2:Plenty of sleep is good .How much? It’s individual choice. Some need more some less, some get up at 4-5 am others at 11am/pm? But the tested one should be followed. Do you know sleep deprivation has killed more people than AIDS. Mouse can live without food for days but dies due to lack of sleep!
3:break fast should be heavy. Some take a very light breakfast and lunch and other take heavy break fast to dose in office. Some people eat a lot and never put on weight other starve(?) but still over weight.
4:dinner should be light. It’s your choice.
5:Drink 6 liters of water a day. Bogus, if you are all the time in A/C rooms-cars etc. Then you only need 600 to 800 ml of extra water a day+ your tea,coffee,cold drinks and food. If you are sweating due to heat then drink as per your thirst. Drinking unnecessarily to keep the blood clean is foolishness.
6:Take plenty of green vegetables. Where are the green ?
7:Take a bath before sun rise and get divorced.
8:Coffee is good the next day it’s bad.
9: If you are a smoker then for each and every problem cigarette is blamed.
10: In India if you drink then all medical problems are due to it ,so says the doctor.
11.Ghee is bad. Butter is good, next day it’s just the reverse.
12:Red meat is good for heart but bad for the vessels.
13:Cholesterol is good ,some say its bad.
14:Drinking 60 to 80 ml of good alcohol is good, some say red wine is good.
15: Milk is good for the bones and skin but bad for the heart.
16:Laughter is best medicine provided you know what it is!
17:Songs are soothing!! But where are those soothing songs?
18:Walking is good for your health. Every day thousands die due to morning walk , knocked down by bikes and cars.
19:Anti-platelet medicines are good for the heart or the pharmaceutical companies?
20:Follow proved facts not scientific data or conclusion derived by the multinationals companies..
The bottom line is –“no two persons are equal, hence conclusions are difficult.”.
