Understanding the Value of Time

2011-12-03T19:14:00.000+05:30

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. This means – do not postpone your work for the next day or for a later time. Time plays an important role in our life as it applies in our every walk of life. One must understand the value and importance of time as the lost time never comes.

One of the great poets ‘Tulsidas’ very correctly said that – “Do today what you were to do tomorrow, do now what you were to do today. For, the world may end at any moment; when and how will you do your work then?” Each day is a little life and every morning opens a new account for you where you are credited with 86,400 seconds. Try to utilize these seconds because if you fail to utilize them, the loss is going to be yours. Most people won’t worry about time passing by, but one understand that time is priceless and never stops for anybody.

Time brings regulation in our life and unless we regulate ourselves we will not be able to do any thing, no matter how talented we are. In order to manage and save time, one must plan his/her activities in advance. Wasted time and chances can never be regained. God has created this world for a reason and if we closely observe the nature, we would find plenty of things that come on time. The clock is always ticking. So be like the clock; always keep on ticking by involving yourself in various activities and learning new things.

Knowledge is Power

2011-09-21T22:28:00.000+05:30

When Darwin propounded his theories ‘struggle for existence’ and ‘survival of the fittest’ in the mid 19^th century, he had scientifically proved that homosapiens were the most superior of all animals. It was not only due to some special physical attributes of human beings, but primarily due to their immense capacity to adjust. The power of speech, memory, etc. all helped the human beings reach great heights from where they command and control all other animals, and controlling the forces of nature to a large extent.

Importance of Knowledge in Today’s World
The culture, society, thought, science and technology are the men’s powerful weapons. The societies which are scientifically more advanced have a better place in hierarchy. In today’s world, the power of physical strength has been given least importance as compared to the power of knowledge.

This is not only true for the societies and groups, but also for the individuals. The ones with more knowledge and sharp minds do better in life as now we have meritocracy, i.e. merit-based society. Nowadays, the standard of measurement of knowledge is tested through examination, discussions, interviews and performances.

The knowledge today provides opportunities to hold positions, which by the sanction of the society, carry some rights. These rights are actually the powers which go along with that position. The more organized and complex the society and civilization become, the more will be the importance of knowledge. This is because complexity and organization cannot be managed by people who lack knowledge. Thus, we can say that in the present world, knowledge is power.

Information on AIDS – Symptoms, Causes and Treatment

2011-09-19T21:41:00.000+05:30

AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS gradually reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections by making the body vulnerable to life-threatening illnesses. People with AIDS also have an increased risk of developing various cancers.

What are the causes of AIDS?
AIDS is caused by a retrovirus called HIV, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. This virus causes slow but constant damage to the immune system cells, thereby leading the body to have difficulty in fighting off the infections. HIV is usually transmitted through sharing needles, unprotected sex, and from mother to infant before or during delivery or while breastfeeding.

Symptoms of AIDS – HIV Infection
People who become infected with HIV may not notice any immediate change in their health. However, some suffer from a flu-like illness within a few weeks of becoming infected, have complaints of fever, headache, tiredness, and may also develop a rash or swollen glands. These symptoms usually disappear within a few weeks after which the person feels normal. This asymptomatic phase often lasts for years. The median time to receive an AIDS diagnosis among those infected with HIV is 7-10 years.

Treatment of AIDS
The treatment of AIDS includes the antiretroviral medications which control the reproduction of the virus slow down the progression of the disease. When used in combination, these medications are termed Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART). HAART combines three or more anti-HIV medications in a daily regimen.

When you start to choose antiretroviral treatment, you must adhere to it. People with this condition should take the advice of the experts to know the latest mode of therapy.

2011-08-31T14:43:00.000+05:30

Sushmita Sen, who is an epitome of Indian beauty, was born on 19 November, 1975. She was crowned as Miss Universe in 1994 when she was 18 years old, and hence became the first Indian lady to win the title by making her country proud.

She has completed her schooling from Air Force Silver School in Delhi and has also obtained a degree in Journalism. Sushmita’s family consists of her father, mother and two siblings. Her father, Shubeer Sen, is a former Air Force Wing Commander. Her mother, Subhra Sen, is a fashion artist and a jewellery designer. She has two siblings; a sister, named Neelam, and a brother, named Rajeev.

Sushmita Sen has adopted two baby girls whom she named Renee and Alisha. She adopted Renee on 13 April, 1999 and Alisha on 19 November, 2009, which also happens to be her birthday.

Sushmita Sen’s first public appearance was at the Air Force Club contest at the age of 15 years. After that she did a few fashion and ramp shows. Soon after that, she was crowned as Miss Universe.

The Role of Media in National Integration

2011-08-28T22:46:00.002+05:30

It was said by pundits of history that North and South India were two separate entities and all those rulers who tried to conquer and command South India along with North India were doomed; while this thinking was negated by the examples of emperor Ashoka and the British.

Role of media

The growth of communications and education under the British, in the 19^th century, helped bringing the people of India together. The struggle for independence generated a spirit of unity and nationalism amongst the people and a large contribution to this came from the media, i.e. the newspapers. Media exposed the true face of British imperialism and colonialism, and helped in creating awareness and consequent unity among Indians to fight the British.

After independence, the Indian media developed rapidly, including the radio, and then the television. Any occurrence in any corner of the country immediately spreads all over through the media. The spreading of news is not just the conveyance of information, but it also acts as a catalyst in creating identification with the nation, its people, culture, and thoughts. In earlier days, not everyone was able to know what exactly happened and the whole picture used to become clear after a much delay but with the wide reach of media via Television and Internet, everyone gets the news instantly and easily evaluates the situation by various means.

Growth of Nationalism

Newspapers, radio, television and movies reach all the people in India. The same things are thus seen and read all over the country, and this helps in the growth of similar mentality and thoughts. This can also be seen as the growth of consciousness of belonging to one nation. This is the growth of Nationalism. Now, people all over the country have easy access to information and latest news; they also have various platforms to share their views and learn more about the subject. It helps by bringing the people together and spread information instantly all over the country.

Nationalism in itself contains the seed of unity and the national integration. The same values that get conveyed through media, directly or indirectly, help sustain nationalism and thus, national integration.

How to Identify Stroke and Save Life

2011-08-13T22:59:00.000+05:30

Many times we hear of people dying due to stroke, but if we ask what exactly happened, nobody gives you proper answer and says, it just happened suddenly and he/she died. What normally happens is that the injured person falls down and after few hours’ just passes away, though there is no physical injury. Actually there may not be any physical injuries but most of the times there are internal injuries, which causes such disasters after stroke.

Signs of Strokes
As per some neurologists, there are few ways to identify stroke. So, if someone falls down near to you and he/she feels a bit diminished, just ask him/her few questions and you can recognize whether that person has suffered a stroke or not.

These questions are:

Ask the individual to SMILE
Ask the person to TALK (just ask to speak a simple sentence of 4-5 words)
Ask the person to RAISE both arms

If that person shows trouble in any one of these tasks, call the Ambulance immediately and describe the symptoms as there could be possibilities of internal injuries and blood clotting.

There is one more sign to identify stroke. Ask the person to stick out his/her tongue. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, or if it goes to one side, then that’s an indication of stroke. So, whenever you see someone clotting after an accident, ask the person above questions and you can save one life. Saving one life means giving happiness to many.

So, always remember STR (Smile, Talk, Raise).
