drug olympics

Drug Olympic
#*#*#*#*#*#*

Human body has certain limitation as regards physical strength, endurance, reflex and stability but experts say with drugs these limitations can be over come, hence the doping test in sports.

Imagine an Olympic with drugs. Here all athletes are allowed to take any thing they like; there will be no restrictions on drug and no dope test as the name signifies. Even the public will be allowed to take beer (free with tickets, maximum 1000ml), it will be like the IPL cricket tournament in India.
There will be no boring events like marathon race, walking events, sword fight, and animal participation. Total period will be for six days only.
Except the referees, camera men, officials’ rest of the people in the stadium can smoke, take drugs. The athletes will not be asked which drug they take, not even the champions. There will be no sex bar. Ladies too can participate along with men and there will be no separate events for ladies but for each event there will be special prizes for ladies. An event where a lady comes first then the males participating in that event has to drink the urine of that lady. This is done to discourage under performance by male athletes and substandard participants. There will be no dress codes for participants.
What is the advantage of this type of Special Olympics?
You save the agony of the athletes. Millions of dollars are saved as laboratory staffs and chemicals will not be required for the dope tests.
As such most of the champions of past and present used performance enhancing drugs but went Scot free because of wrong sampling, faulty technique, bribery, money power and political interference. Take the case of Mario Jones, she was a different type of lady to have confessed about taking drugs other wise I think eight out of ten famous sports person take some form of drugs, be it in form of a diet(dogs meat, bull’s fat, tiger’s testes etc) or medicines or other methods which is not known to the doping experts.
If that be so let’s see, what maximum a human body can achieve in field events or other games and then compare them with the so called drug free sports stars? But the question is, was there a really drug free Olympic in recent years, say in last twenty years?


So friends lets wait for the sponsors to have an Olympic that will have retired or not getting a chance(dropped) or banned athletes or those who do not want to participate in drug free Olympics. The prize money will be $50000(1st prize)$25000(2nd) $10000(3rd) but if tested negative for drugs he or she will be disqualified for next year. This Special Olympics will be held just six months prior to the main Olympics.
The peculiarity of this “Olympic” will be maximum 50 athletes’ will be allowed to participate from one country, no officials. The leader from each country has to be from the participating athletes of that country. Any individual can participate for any country but he has to become a citizen for at least two years before the event.
An event like this can only be held in a country where drugs are freely available and there is no punishment for drug users.
After an internet voting, the venue for the first “drug Olympic” will be decided. The dates will be informed in due time.
I wish some business house picks up this” golden Hen” and start the event before it’s too late. If a human body can run 100 meters in 5 seconds then let it be why to stop this exciting future prospect of science and human limits?. I think it’s worth it to get a gold and $50000 with drugs then lead a drug free life with out achieving any thing in life!!, why not die young(adverse effects of drugs) doing some thing which people will remember for hundreds of years, the choice is yours—“go and get it”.
NB: This is a satire but who knows it may be a reality in future.

Ultra sound examination in pregnency.

Questions to all Indian obstetricians:
Be sincere and answer these questions.

Why you want to perform an ultra sound exam on a pregnant lady?
1: if there are any abnormalities, are you sure it’s not a technical error?

2. If there is and she is 26 weeks then?

3. Repeated US exam is done for commission or necessity?

4. If less of amniotic fluid then?

5. Is it done because patient wants a picture for her album?

6. Are you sure this test is not going to cause damage to the growing fetus?

7. With out this U/S examination, millions have already taken birth, they why so much stress on this Test, now?

8. Medical faculty is not coming forward to stop this because this is a multimillion dollar business?

9. Poor Indians women can be advised to take more nutritious food rather then spending Rs.300 to Rs400 for this useless test, except for sex determination and abortion?

10. Do you think you must think rather then follow blindly, what others are doing?

Seasonal food habits

Seasonal Food.

Some time back may be five years, a question came to me??
For which I did not get any satisfactory answer from any one including experts.
The Q: was, eating vegetables of summer and rainy season in winter and vice versa is it bad or good for health?
The thought came to me because the winter vegetables produce more heat but summer vegetables are cold, easy to digest. Same is true about fruits too. Summer fruits have more water content and sweeter. This logic was for Indian food which we have been practicing for thousands of years, like taking seasonal vegetables and fruits.
But from 1970 onwards the food habits of Indians changes. With the government’s help more cold storages were opened and milk production in the country was up by 50%, Indians started taking more of “paneer”, milk, Curd and milk products in the form of sweets. Subsequent year’s Chinese food culture in the cities along with soft drinks attracted the young mass. The typical Indian food disappeared from the dinning table of most of the middle class and effluent families which was replaced by Pizza, Chow mien, Rolls, Fast food with the beer and hard drinks.

Instead of educating our doctors on food and nutrition aspect of life they were taught more on invasive and non invasive methods which means the preventive medicine took a back seat. Most of the doctors have a very poor notion about diet before or after surgery. The advice is non practical and it’s left to nurses or dietician or the patient regarding the food. Most of the big and 5* hospitals give a diet chart which looks very attractive to the eye but difficult to follow. The best person to advice regarding diet is the physician or the surgeon who is treating the patient.

I have got the answer to my query which has prompted the Europeans people to ban unseasonal foods in their country.

So friends take Janhi,kakharu,sajana chuin,neutia saga,dahi, pakhala,badi bhaja, santula,dahibars, lassi, mango, lichu in summer months.
Avoid eggs, mutton, chicken, if you are above 55 years as they will heat up your system but your organ’s have become cold and the partner too is no more willing.
Winter vegetables will keep you warm if it’s cold out side and is good for you to carry your vitamin and other requirements for the next winter.Do advice your children to go for Indian food or else they may have to go for bypass before you which has started happening and will be on the rise.
You will find lots of GE cases during summer months after consuming non vegetarian food, Even in 5* hotels Why?Digestive system goes bizarre in hot climate..
Do not follow medical guidelines but time tested advice of your forefathers.

WITH FRIENDS

A Flatter To Deceive

That was few years before my superannuation when my close friend, an executive director(ED) of an integrated steel plant called me for a dinner at his bungalow. It was a typical summer at the steel city of Orissa, where the mercury touches 48 degree Celsius at times. There was no rain for more than eight weeks which made the weather intolerable in the afternoon and evening hours. The time was fixed at 8pm.
When I reached the bungalow the security guard after a routine checkup allowed my car in side.
After few minutes another close friend of mine a general manager (GM) greeted me and we waited for the ED to arrive. After a quick bath our host entered the hall and set beside me. The sweet smell of Brute and the white kurta was befitting to the occasion.
“Should we go out and enjoy our drink in the lawn?”
We agreed. The waiter took those kabab and salad plates and we occupied our seats in those nice old time cousey cane chairs. After a short while, it drizzled which made us to go back to the verandah. Our ED friend was sipping whisky and me the black label lager beer and our GM who would have loved to take whisky but for his heart problem and doctors advice was sipping a soft drink. Due to the drizzle the humidity was unbearable so we decided it would be better if we move in to an AC room .But to our bad luck the power went off and our ED went to his bed room to bring the emergency light.

We had discussion on varied topics and were feeling hungry when the cook asked about the timing of our dinner. Our ED friend was staying alone as his wife had gone to England to help her daughter, as she was pregnant.
The power supply was playing hide and seek for the whole of evening which was unusual in a VIP house. Our friend went to his bed room once again as he has left his cord less phone when the electricity was gone. He had not taken the light with him. When I switched the emergency light to wards the bed room I could see a black object trying to enter the bed room of our VIP friend. I shouted with top of my voice and asked him not to come out. On the white marble this speckled band krait was finding it difficult to crawl. When I asked the security guard to bring a stick, he brought a ten feet long bamboo which was not the gadget to kill a snake. As I have spent many of my younger days in the remote villages of Mayurbhanj , I was familiar with snakes. Any how the proper size stick arrived and I could kill the dangerous snake in spite of two bottles of beer. GM friend jokingly told “ it’s the beer which helped me to kill the deadly snake as the fear was gone due to alcoholic effect.”
My friend thanked me profusely and told me, but for me any thing could have happened at night. I asked him a favor, “my promotion is over due please help me if you can”.
I was assured that there will be good coverage in news papers and my promotion is one the cards.
After the dinner I went home happily waiting for the next morning. Days and months passed bye there was no news coverage about this incident. Later on I came to know that if this being the state of affair in ED bungalow how the union people would have reacted to it? So this news was hushed up.

The next year our friend informed me about the good news of his promotion to the post of managing director. I was waiting breathlessly for the next good news which never came and our good friend now serves the people of a foreign land without the fear of a snake.

New experience

My experience at Bhubaneswar, the capital of Orissa
**********************************************

After spending a reasonably decent life in the steel city Rourkela for three decades, I have just settled down at Bhubaneswar the capital of Orissa. And very frankly, my choice of Bhubaneswar to settle down fllowing my superannuation from SAIL, Rourkela Steel Plant is more out compelling family necessities rather than for any real love of the fastest growing city of Eastern India.
Let me describe my experience in Bhubaneswar during my stay in the last three months.
Electricity: Without this, life will come to a stand still in a modern society. There is so called surplus electricity in Orissa but be careful about your gadgets which run on electric supply in Bhubaneswar. The other day I was talking to a young man using a Xerox Machine when suddenly the voltage dropped. I asked him “do you get low voltage?”
“Sir, do you have similar problem?”
“Yes, we do get as low as 150 volts.”
”You are lucky sir; ours will be 90 at times!”
One of my relative had a burnt DVD and TV near Lewis road due to high voltage. Do you know India holds the world record of using the maximum number of voltage stabilizer in the world, go and get it now!

Traffic: Chaotic is the word I can use without blinking an eyelid. If you follow the traffic rule you are in problem if not there will be disaster and you have to bribe the police to get out of the harassment which awaits you at the police station. The roads are peculiar, so also the traffic police. The traffic police or the home guards stand at such places that you may not notice them at all. At some places the digital traffic signal may confuse you with the digits. The best way is you follow another larger vehicle in front of you and follow it to escape accidents and fines. Every one is in a hurry to overtake you. Never venture to go out during office or school hours or the evening hours. Better you wear helmets inside your four wheelers. It’s better to travel by auto rickshaw than going out with your own car. If you are going out by two wheelers it’s better to insure yourself and your vehicle. Always avoid the road in front of the Orissa Assembly Hall (Mahatma Gandhi road)
Banking: Take a day off or go to bank towards the end of the month. Never go to the main branch (SBI) unless you have no other alternatives.
Medical: Too many doctors but people prefer to go out side the state. Investigations are done from head to toe for any reason. Sometimes, one can notice more number of doctors than patients in medical colleges. You must carry plenty of money if you want to go to a private hospital or nursing homes. People do not carry a good impression about the medical expertise in the capital, even though brilliant doctors are there in the city.
Literary activities: Unless you have three letter qualifications at the end of your name try not to venture into this field or else you may have to plunge fast into depression. Unless there is a dinner or lunch after the meeting, no one except the organizer will turn up at literary functions.
ATM: Always keep patience in the queue and never advise anyone on manners or rules. It may so happen that you may have to return home with a black eye and empty pocket.
Govt.office: Always manage your entry through a broker or middle man. Otherwise you may have to purchase a new pair of slippers.
Attitude: "I am alright so who bothers". Me first is the norm here. “Pahele Aap” is a part of history.
Vegetables: Carry plenty of money or you may starve. Local vegetables are cheap and plenty. One can affprd to become a total vegetarian here.But you've to forget about capsicum, carrots and beans. These are very costly as it's brought from Bangalore (in summer months)
Fish: All types and very tasty too. From Rs: 60 to Rs: 600, you get all types of fish.
Fruits: Banana is available round the year and is of very high quality. Summer months are mango eaters’ delight.. You will enjoy them.
Friends and relatives: Send them a vehicle or you may not get any one in your house. They may talk to you (over phone) or give a missed call at times. Keep a good relationship with your neighbor for emergencies.
Public: Never ask for any advice or you may regret.
All said and done Bhubaneswar is the capital of Orissa and is fast developing to become a city of big bazaars and a heaven for criminals.
This is a satire, and its not to be taken seriously. There may be some error of judgment by the writer on this topic. However. if you agree on some points, do write in the following address.
