Build,rather Seek, A Carrer!!!

If one were to list the career ambitions that parents have for their wards, a career in politics would certainly not figure in it. Because, worldwide, politics is jocularly and seriously considered to be the last resort of scoundrels! But what is intriguing is that, whereas a Masters in Business Administration or MBA ranks at the top of the desirable qualifications list, business as a career option is frowned upon!

There is a strong perception among the salaried class parents that being in business is like being on a roller coaster. It could take you very high in a short span of time but overnight it could also throw you crashing to the ground! Risk is undoubtedly an inherent and inseparable factor in any business, be it a purely commercial activity or an industrial establishment. But it is certainly not a luck dependent gamble, as many fear it to be. A certain degree of intuition is required for success but that is not at all a rare trait.

But the saddest and most dangerous belief that exists in the minds of the public is that to be a successful entrepreneur, one needs to be somewhat crooked. So much so that I have often heard parents declare that their wards were not cunning enough for business! This belief is a double-edged sword because it not only keeps honest people out, but also provides tacit permission for those in business to look for short cuts.

As with any specialized job, running one's own venture definitely requires a specific kind of smartness. An entrepreneur has to be worldly, not in the derogatory sense of being street smart, but in that he must be aware of current, local and global trends. Ascertain you child's potential and let him chase his dream. Cherish the entrepreneurial spirit in him.

Mobile to Immobilize

The technology has always been improving to make us communicate easily. The Mobile Technology is one such technology which has helped and made this big earth look almost very small like how a star appears when seen from earth.

The technology has found from the beginning has havoc associated with it. The mobile phone technology use the medium which naturally exist but still it causes a lot of problem to human beings

The associated technology also has a greater impact. For instance Bluetooth technology when power on and kept in pant pockets are expected to create prostate cancer in men and also due to radiation in general it is not advisable to keep the cell phone near the chest or heart region due to potential ability of radiation to penetrate.    

Extensive use of mobile phone will cause brain tumor analogous to lung cancer which a person will get due to smoking. I heard that cell phone in it low battery state produces much times higher radiations in its low battery state which causes harm to ear and make its ability to hear dwindle off.

We have reached a stage in which we cannot stop the use of mobile phone but we can still avoid some problems associated with it. If it is not confidential you can always put your cell phone on loud speaker mode and keep the phone at a distance and speak. If so very confidential matter you can try using the mobile phone using head sets. We must stop giving mobile phone to children under age 7 at least. It is better that not to give children under age 10 also. Never use the mobile phone in its low batter state. Extensive continuous use of mobile phone cause neck pain, ear pains, head ache and has the ability to affect brain too.

No New Begining To An Old End

Arms trade is the world’s most successful business operation which is very profitable one. The annual spending or annual military spending ranges about One trillion which is nearing the expenses done during the cold war period.

The cold war period was one such time in history during which arms production and trading out of outdated arms to under developed countries was quite common. The annual expenses crossed trillion’s even during that time.

Each year around $30 million are made in the sales of arms. Every year the arms are transferred to countries mainly developing countries from the developed countries. A report called Grimmett report is prepared to track the delivery of arms. The supplier nation for arms include United States, Russia, England, China, France, Germany and few other European countries.

Now even more arms and produced and distributed. In this spinning earth anything is possible. Is this an indication to let us know that another cold war, imperialization and colonization going to take place again? Hope this is a not a new beginning to an old end.

Arms can be made for protection and not for destruction. As always science and technology are good slaves but a bad dictator or master.

The amount of money spent on war , arms research and buying weapons can be used for good purpose like educating all children in the world, Food and shelter for all and many other activities.

Fact file on Diabetes

One of the most common disease or more appropriately disorder is diabetes. There are two cases in this Type-1 and Type-2. Though there is cure for diabetes one must realize that it is a life long disease.Especially Type-1 has no option but to live with insulin all along.

The worst part of it is Type-1 is common among children.Sudden loss of weight,breathing problem,dizziness are the symptoms of it. The main reason for this occurrence is a microbial attack. The child might has suffered from a viral fever before. But the virus for its worst part could have ruptured the pancreas.

Once pancreas is completely ruptured the body cannot produce sufficient insulin for survival.So it has to be given externally throughout one's lifetime. Type-2 diabetes is just opposite but is the most common among the two.It occurs due to life patterns like junk foods,lack of nutrients etc.

This one can be cured by changing one's lifestyle along with exercise supplements.Proper care should e given in both the cases. Nutritious diets couldsave you from all hazards. So eat healthy and stay healthy.

Philanthrophy Epitomises In Blood Donation

When you lend something it is the receiver who gains something. But for charity you don't gain anything from it.But this is a donation in which you as well as the receiver gain out of it. Yes,I speak about blood donation.

When you donate blood you not only save a precious human life but also pump in fresh blood inflows within your body. Thereby you save a life as well as rejuvenate yours.People even those who are educated shy away from blood donation for one reason or the other.

Fear is one major sited reason. This is psychological and can be combated by proper exposure to enormous benefits of the noble cause.Accidents,surgery require large amount of blood to save the victim. Every year millions of people die due to lack of blood donors. One thing which we must remember is we too may need it one day.

Proper tests are conducted and if any only if you can withstand the donation you are allowed to donate.Please don't forget that a doctor wont kill a patient to save another.Let us save precious human life.Humans have a population of 6.7 billion;if one person due to unavailability of blood it is the shame for the race.

Blood doesn't know what race you are,what religion you belong to,what cast is yours.It only knows you are a noble person if you donate it.Be a philanthropist by donating blood.

claustrophobic World!!!

As the adage goes, "cursed are those who are born during the age of transition." This Chinese proverbial plight applies more so in the case of the struggling millions in the over-crowded metropolitan cities, belonging to the poor countries.

No doubt the quality of life in terms of material welfare has been enhanced for the average middle-income group given the globalized scenario. Yet what is being denied raises the issue whether it is all really worth the trouble in terms of the compromises that are made.

What is at stake is the ecological sensitivity of citizens. As a citizen, one has the fundamental right to enjoy a pollution free environment and de-congested urban spaces for healthy and prosperous living. To steam off after a days slogging st the office one needs open spaces. But in the ever growing world this is at stake.

Solitude is important part of daily life. It lets you wear off stress and be happy with your family members.But for that you need space both in you mind and in reality.

In Search Of Role Models

Do these names ring any bells? Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Kaavya Viswanathan, Chen Jin, A.Q. Khan and Jayson Blair. Well, all of them wanted to be rich and famous in a hurry and sacrificed their souls in that process.

Ayaan Ali was until yesterday was a celebrity in Holland — a Somalia born Dutch MP. Today she is on the run as things started to unravel for her when it was revealed that she had lied about her past to get asylum in Netherlands. Kaavya became world famous as a 19 year old girl of Indian origin who not only got admission to Harvard, but also half a million dollars as advance for two books and more for the movie rights until allegations of plagiarism surfaced.

Chen Jin with a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin was the technical prince of China when he said that he had created one of China's first digital signal processing computer chips. His research seemed to catch up with the West. Then it was announced that it was all fraud. The distinguished scientist had faked research conducted at Jiaotong University and simply stolen his chip designs from a foreign company, then passed them off as his own.

The list is endless. Athletes with dope assisted Olympic medals (sprinter Ben Johnson), cricket players fixing matches for money (Hansie Cronje), drug addicted soccer gods (Maradona), politicians caught with pants down (countless), ministers with fingers in the till (search Google), princes and princesses (Charles and Diana), business leaders (Ken Lay of Enron, Chung Mong Koo of Hyundai)

Dr. Khan, a Pakistani icon, was arrested for selling nuclear secrets around the world motivated by Islamic zeal and money. The New York Times reported that their reporter, Jayson Blair, had been guilty of lying, plagiarism and outright fiction for four years.

The list is endless. Athletes with dope assisted Olympic medals (sprinter Ben Johnson), cricket players fixing matches for money (Hansie Cronje), drug addicted soccer gods (Maradona), politicians caught with pants down (countless), ministers with fingers in the till (search Google), princes and princesses (Charles and Diana), business leaders (Ken Lay of Enron, Chung Mong Koo of Hyundai).

The new mantra is that life is short, the pleasures of which have to be enjoyed to the brim when you are young and strong. The media is waiting, tempting you with the riches of the world in all their glory when you are on the top of the mountain and condemn and laugh at you with equal relish when you are in the dumps. For the vultures in the media, Kaavya or Chen Jin at the highest or the lowest is just prime time meat to nibble away and pickle and preserve for another day.

But little do they realize that role models are around them all the time. They need not be celebrities or famous persons. A role model can be your own mother, father, a teacher, a historical figure, a saint or any one who played life's roles honestly, sincerely and selflessly and who will not surprise and cheat you and turn your world upside down by unveiling their dark deeds one day. It is better that we turn away from instant illusory heroes who may prove to be frauds or worse.

Handicapped by Conscience

Would a security personnel open fire on a person on a pair of crutches? Or on a senior citizen in a wheelchair? Or on a person palpitating with a heart attack? Or on a visually handicapped person? Yet on December 8 a man was shot dead at Miami airport by U.S. air marshals merely because he exposed his disability in public.

The man in question Rigoberto Alpizer, 44, behaved in a threatening way and allegedly claimed to carry a bomb. It was established later that he was mentally challenged, suffering from a bipolar disorder and hence his erratic and seemingly threatening behavior, which provoked the firing that killed him.

hile physical illnesses and disabilities are evident to sight, it is not always so in the case of mental illnesses. Alpizer, for example, had missed his medication and was agitated. All the other people on the plane, the procedures, and the snatches of conversation were all too much for him to process and he wanted to be out.

e need special provisions for those who are mentally challenged to avoid these mishaps in the future. Humanity could also be expressed in protecting people who lost their conscience.

Learn to Sustain

Many poets have sung about her,there is no playwright who has not centered his theme around her. I speak about 'The Women'. Yes she has captured imagination of many and I thought I could shed some of mine now. Feminism has undergone changes over the years as do feminine.

I don't want to speak about the atrocities against her nor I a male chauvinist.But I am a serious observer of the society around me. What made man powerful during these centuries?,What gave him a responsible position in governments?. Man has evolved over centuries,he has learn t from his mistakes and enriched his knowledge pool. But women were either enforced or restricted themselves to stay at home. This lack of knowledge makes her a less learned person in the society.

As civilizations after civilization aroused the situation began to change. Women too started learning and learn t at rapid pace. But when they competed for prestigious positions they were denied by men,just out of fear.

There is one hard reality in this. We are living in liberalized world where your sex has no significance over talent. Those who learn and enrich their knowledge could only sustain. Power,authority comes to you naturally by virtue of your quality and not by your biological division.
"Who you are,What you are,are more Important than how you are"

Articulate your Thought Process

If 'necessity is the mother of invention' then 'communication is the mother of existence'. Communication forms the basis for business, relationships and all nuances in the world. Lack of communication leads to ineffectiveness and hampers personal life to a great extent.

The importance of communication is something which has to be taught young when in uniforms, and not at a later stage in a centralized air conditioned class room by a personality development trainer. Being taught communication and problem solving skills at a later age makes them view these as tools to enhance their success propositions in their work life, little realizing that it should be part of one's character to communicate effectively and come with a problem solving mindset rather than providing quick fixes.

A very pragmatic and radical approach towards education is bound to take this nation to greater heights and would make the future citizens of the country to "question the answers rather than answering the questions".

Interpersonal Intelligence

People who have this intelligence possess an extraordinary capacity such as trying to see things from others people's point of view in order to understand how they think and feel. They are good organizers and their other skills are listening,using empathy,counseling,co-operating with groups. Understanding the models and motivations of others, communicating,building trust and establishing good relations with other people.

Fear Factor

Fear afflicts everybody. One is afraid of snakes. One is afraid of ailments — particularly the deadly ones. Someone is afraid of losing wealth, losing near and dear ones. And everybody is afraid of death. These may be imaginary fears or fears based on rational appreciation of objective facts.

Basically, fear arises from deep attachment to certain objects or things and at the thought of losing those objects or things. At a philosophical level fear arises from an awareness that the object of fear is different (and dreaded) from the subject fearing it. Fear is, in the ultimate analysis, caused by the absence of true knowledge of one's own self, the non-discriminatory, eternally abiding, unchanging constant behind the ever-changing external environment.

Media Convergence

The information era has the potential to influence every aspect of our lives at the individual and societal levels. It permeates everything from the way we learn to the way we earn. It redefines the manner in which the common man evaluates the delivery of public services and also his role in a democratic society. A `global village' is fast emerging to the domain of fact from that of fiction.

Convergence, in the most common usage refers to the fusion of formerly distinct technologies, industries or activities. Telecommunications, broadcasting and information technology sectors are the focal concerns in this context today.

Convergence implies a situation where both traditional and new communications services (be it voice, data, sound or pictures) could be transmitted over many different networks. Conversely, convergence is also the ability of different network platforms to carry essentially similar kinds of services. From the point of view of consumer devices, convergence represents the coming together of the plain old telephone (POT), the idiot box (TV), and the personal computer (PC).

Retrospect for the cause of peace

Every time UN general body meets they discuss about unity among member countries. Unity is what is at stake in this cruel world which has a notion of "an eye for an eye". I think it is time for UN to rethink its core ethos.

UN should be the supreme power and must have a strong army in its kitty.Rather than buying forces during war-times it should recruit specific number of cadres from each country. Any country which is the root cause for the violence and bloodshed should be punished without any discrimination. Peace should not be compromised at any price. Lets reunite and devote ourselves for the cause of peace. Spread this message and contribute your bit for this noble cause.

Spatial Intelligence

Defining spatial intelligence, is the intelligence which gives the people the ability to think in terms of pictures or the brain creates a virtual image to retain its memory. The brain actually maps the images which it sees and have it in its memory.

If u happen to travel in the same route,if this route falls in your routine day to day travel path brain actually maps the road and you shall be going in correct path even if you were lost deep in thought you shall proceed the correct direction

The person who has good spatial intelligence are good at reading, writing, puzzle building, better understanding of charts and graphs,a good sense of direction,sketching, painting, designing and interpreting visual images. The person who posses extraordinary spatial intelligence are likely to become navigators or an expert architects.

Prevent and Prevail with Peer Pressure!!!

Smoking is bad,

Drinking is sad,

Junk food is awful,

No exercise is unlawful.

We have heard it before, read it in the papers, our parents may have appealed to us, or our own weighing machines might have smiled at us disdainfully.

Yet, how often do we stop ourselves from picking up that cheesy slice of pizza, sipping that tingling cola, sinking into the sofa to watch the highly charged men in blue on the field, or venture out only to get that exhilarating puff?

How many of us know at least two others our own age who are overweight, who suffer from premature health problems, who enthusiastically await the weekend so they can drown themselves in a pitcher of beer and disappear behind the collective clouds of smoke generously produced in the name of "friendship," whose fingers are active on keyboard while the rest of their body switches off to slumber?

Some wonder at the prevalence of ill health habits despite the presence of awareness against them. A key issue that our present day youth need to address is prevention — of health problems and negative health behaviours, also called self-compromising health behaviours.

Prevention means taking measures to combat risk factors for illness before an illness ever has a chance to develop (Shelley Taylor).

There are always cures to help one recover from stress-induced headaches, from alcohol-related health problems, high blood pressure due to obesity. Why are there just as few measures to prevent these illnesses in the first place? The concept that we need not put our bodies through the trauma of pain and palliatives has not yet permeated our ways of thinking and behaving.

Our older generations might not have consciously emphasised preventive measures — perhaps they did not have to. Children back then, as your grandfather will fondly recollect, were fit and fine, enjoying outdoor activities and running about in glee; today's little ones have pot bellies and run about too, a little sluggishly.

A chief concern in the area of health psychology today is the prevention of ill health behaviours, such as smoking, alcoholism, over eating, etc., and their consequences.

Primary prevention involves instilling good health habits and changing poor ones. Several factors play a role here. Age for example explains how older adults are more health conscious than adolescents; value systems discriminate between families that emphasise good health behaviours such as exercise and diet and those that do not. Given how important peer relationships are to youngsters, we can use it to advantage by instilling these good habits among them.

Health habits are strongly influenced by early socialisation with parents; thus, it is essential that one's childhood is richly endowed with active lifestyles, correct sleeping habits and Popeye's herbivorous pursuits too!

Given the continuity of our young lifestyles into middle and late adulthood, it is vital that we make the right choices.

Isn't it ironic how we seek the roundabout path from pain to gain instead of just hitting gain straight?

That adage, "prevention is better than cure" holds more relevance now than ever.

What's that? Exercise is pain, you say? Well, so is that daily insulin shot.

Garbage Collected-Power

It is considered that garbage collection and disposal is a big problem in almost all countries. The amount of garbage collected is huge and almost require a lot of budget, space to dump them. Burning of the Garbage in later stage also causes pollution. 

We must now consider generating power as be done in few countries around the world. The garbage is collected without any segregation and then is put up in a heating device which produce steam and necessary heat energy which is been used to turn the blades of the turbine to generated electricity. The bye products and material which does not get burned are collected at the bottom and they are crushed to put roads.

Clean city and clean energy.!!!

Twisted Medical Facts

The British Medical Journal recently noted that Indian movies are the only place where a doctor could feel the pulse of a woman and tell her that she was pregnant. While this may be a glaring example of how much the Indian movies are out of touch with the ground realities of modern medicine, sadly it is not the only one.

Traumatic amnesia

Take the example of the often repeated formula of a movie where the "Hero" takes a hit on his head and promptly forgets everything about himself. This is a kind of propaganda that has taken a Goebbelsian proportion because it remains a fact that only a person with psychogenic amnesia loses his personal information like name and age and not someone with traumatic amnesia.

Even if one were to agree that psychogenic amnesia were secondary to trauma, one can hardly justify the treatment that is propounded wherein a suitably directed hit at the same spot under similar circumstances would promptly put the patient back on the path to recovery. Far from being the kiss (or is it the stroke) of life it might be the last nail in the patient's coffin.

This is exactly the kind of treatment that Sir Robert Hutchison prays to god to deliver us from when he said, "From making the cure of a disease more grievous than its endurance." Among the other fallacies is the electro convulsive therapy that is grotesquely given the misnomer of "shock therapy." A highly refined therapeutic procedure done under tightly controlled circumstances is given the colour of a kind of torture which might send a chill down the spine of a tinpot dictator. Moreover it has specific indications and is not necessarily given every time someone tries to jump over the boundaries of a mental asylum.

Snake bite

One more instance of a movie setting a bad precedent is seen when someone in the movie is bitten by a snake. The events that follow a snake bite are nothing short of a pantomime. The one thing that a person must desist from is to try and suck the poison out from the site of snake bite. Though the intention might be right, it hardly serves the purpose and the act may cause the transmission of infection from the person's mouth to the already beleaguered patient.

It seems that a similar case can be made out for the film makers when they gently suggest to the gullible audience that eating papayas can cause abortion or that a tread-mill test is used to obtain an ElectroEncephaloGram(EEG) and not ElectroCardioGram(ECG). In fact the latter example was woven into the story line of a recent bollywood movie where the protagonist had a brain tumour.

Finally, I found that the film makers were outdone in this art of twisting medical facts by a section of politicians who are represented by a person who claimed at an international conference on AIDS at Bangkok that a holy dip in the river Ganga would rid a person of his malady. But then nothing less was expected of them.
