IPL and Environmental Awareness

2010-03-28T23:17:00.004+05:30

Its good to hear that IPL committed to a strong vision of green growth by launching a partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

There is no doubt about that the environmental awareness will reach to millions of people all over the world and especially in India.

But looking into the tournament I have a doubt about what IPL guys doing in the cricket stadium is keeping awareness in their mind !!!! How much fire crackers are they using in each and every match. Do you think this can be justified ?

How much light can be saved if it is running in the day light ?

Not saying IPL is doing good for Green like Climate Neutral Network, the Billion Tree Campaign and World Environment Day. IPL will also promote environmental awareness, highlighting the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity, the Clean-Up the World Campaign and other environmental initiatives in coming years .

But watching the IPL matches and can you able to say yes for IPL matches are playing truly a Green League ???

What are they doing ?

2010-01-08T00:00:00.001+05:30

What some women saying about it?

'You have to cut real quick and at an angle.
This prevent too much bleeding.
This is our tradition and is given us by God.
It is from God.
We have always done it this way.
I see no reason why should change things.
(sharpening knife in a rock)

Do you got an idea what are talking about ?
They are Female genitals cut supporters. Dont get surprised these exists in the our world.

Millions of girls have their genitals cut off.
6000 are cut every day. Some die of shock or excess bleeding.

The Cut - a documentary about Mary (14 years old) and Alice (early 20’s) from Kenya. Both are affected by the traditional rite of passage into womanhood: genital cutting. thecutdocumentary website

World March in India

2009-09-21T08:00:00.000+05:30

World March in World

The World March will begin in New Zealand on October 2, 2009, the anniversary of Gandhi’s birth, declared the “International Day of Nonviolence” by the United Nations. It will conclude in the Andes Mountains (Punta de Vacas, Aconcagua, Argentina) on January 2, 2010. The March will last 90 days, three long months of travel. It will pass through all climates and seasons, from the hot summer of the tropics and the deserts, to the winter of Siberia. The American and Asian stages will be the longest, both almost a month. A permanent base of a hundred people of different nationalities will complete the journey.

Why

Because we can end world hunger with 10% of what is spent on arms. Imagine how life would be if 30-50% of the arms budget went toward improving people’s lives instead of being used for destruction.

Because eliminating wars and violence means leaving human pre-history behind and taking a giant step forward in the evolution of our species.

Because in this aspiration we are accompanied by the strength of the voices of hundreds of prior generations who suffered the consequences of war, and whose echo continues to be heard today in all those places where it continues to leave its sinister trail of dead, disappeared, disabled, refugees and displaced.

When

The World March will begin in New Zealand on October 2, 2009, the anniversary of Gandhi’s birth, declared the “International Day of Non-Violence” by the United Nations. It will conclude in the Andes Mountains (Punta de Vacas, Aconcagua, Argentina) on January 2, 2010.

The March will last 90 days, three long months of travel. It will pass through all climates and seasons, from the hot summer of the tropics and the deserts, to the winter of Siberia.

CONFIDENCE

Once all village people decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella.
That’s Confidence

TRUST

Trust should be like the feeling of a one year old baby when you throw him in the air, he laughs…… because he knows you will catch him.
That’s Trust

HOPE

Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to get up alive in the next morning but still you have plans for the coming day.

Female circumcision is mainly carried out in western and southern Asia, the Middle East and large areas of Africa.

In an unsanitary condition using razor blades, scissors, kitchen knives and even pieces of glass are reused for many girls and it leads to infection also. Anaesthesia - will get for very few lucky ones.

It also known as female genital cutting (FGC) or female genital mutilation (FGM)

Aktion Mensch. Female circumcision has nothing to do with religion.

Female genital mutilation: Key Facts from WHO

Female genital mutilation (FGM) includes procedures that intentionally alter or injure female genital organs for non-medical reasons.

An estimated 100 to 140 million girls and women worldwide are currently living with the consequences of FGM.

In Africa, about three million girls are at risk for FGM annually.

In both the cars REVA is using a new technology called REVive telematics technology 'a feature unique to REVA that addresses ‘range anxiety’ and will act as an invisible reserve fuel tank. If the customer runs out of charge, he/she can telephone or send a SMS message to REVA 24/7 customer support center and remote charge enables the REVA new models to continue driving within a few minutes'

A lead acid battery variant will be made available for India (REVA NXR), which apart from being cheaper will have a reduced top of 80 kmph and a range of 80 kms.

At present in the Indian market REVA is delivering very badly designed mdoels REVAi Standard, REVAi AC, REVAi Classe to Indian customers. Lot of room to improve the design and finishing of the vehicle. Even your fingers can easily go through the gaps of the vechile. Hope REVA will provide the new designs to the Indian market with out any changes.

In Bangalore we can see lot of 'toy car' REVA in the heavy traffic. What ever it is REVA is doing a great job to save the environment and it will save your wallet. Average cost per Km with a REVA is 40 paise in India. 40 paise is equivalent to 0.00822 USD

'The world capitals of tomorrow may largely be not in the Western world' : says Forbes

List of world capitals of the future by Forbes

Bangalore (India)
Mumbai (India)
Hyderabad (India)
Beijing (China)
Shanghai (China)
Dubai (UAE)
Perth (Australia)
Moscow (Russia)
Calgary (Canada)
Dallas (US)
Houston (US)
Sao Paulo (Brazil)

Brazilian President Mr. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva,
Russian President Mr. Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev,
China President Mr. Hu Jintau,
Indian Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh

Most of the future capitals are from BRIC countries (7 out 12)
BRIC countires are Brazil, Russia, India and China

There are few versions of BRIC countries : BRICK (K for South Korea), BRIMC (M for Mexico) BRICA (GCC Arab countries – Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and the United Arab Emirates) and BRICET (including Eastern Europe and Turkey)

Astrologer comes into my mind after seeing different versions of BRIC
At least one 'BRIC' will comes into reality

'What is BRIC: BRIC or BRICs is an acronym that refers to the fast growing developing economies of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. The acronym was first coined and prominently used by Goldman Sachs in 2001.[1][2] Goldman Sachs argued that, since they are developing rapidly, by 2050 the combined economies of the BRICs could eclipse the combined economies of the current richest countries of the world. The four countries, combined, currently account for more than a quarter of the world's land area and more than 40% of the world's population. ' from wiki

Swine Flu Party in Bangalore India

2009-08-18T23:36:00.005+05:30

Party Fever : A common word used in Party Animals. Now is time for Fever Party, its a real fever party: Swine Flu Party or H1N1 Party.

Swine Flu party is an attempt to get immunity against the virus. Doctors say it is a good idea.

Soon swine flu party tickets will be available for major cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Pune, Kolkatta etc. Dont know people will sell the tickets online.

Love Fever : 'Swine Flu Love'
(Image taken from web)

At present business people are exploiting the swine flu situation.

Major business areas are 'Swine Flu Mask'. In Bangalore a Rs. 3 mask is selling for Rs 15 to 20. N95 mask is selling for Rs. 750 also.
Local mask market: Some mask looks a a funnel or beak on the face of the people and it also cost high.
Eucalyptus oil: Its out of stock in most of the medical shops at least in Bangalore.
Now the new trend going to come is Swine Flu Party or H1N1 Party.

Good news for the party fever guys. I am pretty sure that health conscious society will not going to attend this kind of parties.

Swine Flu : Home Care Guidance

Swine Flu : Home Care Guidance

You will probably be sick for several days with fever and respiratory symptoms.
Take Medications as Prescribed:

* Take all of the antiviral medication as directed.
* Continue to cover your cough and wash your hands often, even when taking antiviral medications, to prevent spreading influenza to others.
* Call the office if you (or your child) experience any side effects; i.e. nausea, vomiting, rash, or unusual behavior.
* Take medications for symptom relief as needed for fever and pain such as acetaminophen (Tylenol®) and ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®, Nuprin ®), and cough medicine. These medicines do not need to be taken regularly if your symptoms improve.
* Do not give aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) or products that contain aspirin (e.g. bismuth subsalicylate – Pepto Bismol) to children or teenagers 18 years old or younger.
* Children younger than 4 years of age should not be given over-the-counter cold medications without first speaking with a health care provider.

Seek Emergency Care If your child experiences any of the following:

* Fast breathing or trouble breathing
* Bluish or gray skin color
* Not drinking enough fluids
* Severe or persistent vomiting
* Not waking up or not interacting
* Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
* Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough

In adults, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

* Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
* Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
* Sudden dizziness
* Confusion
* Severe or persistent vomiting
* Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough

Follow These Home Care Recommendations:

* Stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of fever-reducing medicine.)
* Keep away from others as much as possible. This is to keep from making others sick.
* Drink clear fluids (such as water, broth, sports drinks, electrolyte beverages for infants) to keep from being dehydrated.
* Dishes can be done in dishwasher or with hot soapy water.
* Throw away tissues and other disposable items used by the sick person in the trash. Wash your hands after touching used tissues and similar waste.
* Have everyone in the household wash hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Alcohol-based hand cleaners* are also effective.
* Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.

Dressed like a King and holding our Tricolor in left hand with pride. Amazing to see his 'badge Armour' and a bunch of small flags resting in his back. A special kind of sun glass which has a protective leather cover on the sides.

Kids are holding National Flags with the Independence Day Man In Bangalore,
Karnataka, India

He has a reason for dressing like a King. Make the kids happy and create enthusiasm in the children. Few weeks before the Independence day he comes down from Devanagari to Bangalore to sell the National flags and badges.

Wash hands to avoid swine flu

2009-08-11T22:15:00.000+05:30

WHO says us to wash our hands properly to avoid swine flu. So wash your hands frequently like the 'Healthy Hindustan' ad from Lifebuoy soap(about Lifebuoy Soap: In 1894, William Hesketh Lever launched Lifebuoy in the UK as the Royal Disinfectant Soap.)

Clean hands protect against H1N1 or Swine Flu. Keeping our hands clean is one of the most important things we can do to keep from getting sick and from spreading germs to others.

Clean your hands regularly.
Wash your hands with soap and water, and dry them thoroughly.
Use alcohol-based hand rub if you don’t have immediate access to soap and water.

Wash your hands properly

* Keeping our hands clean is one of the most important things we can do to keep from getting sick and from spreading germs to others.
* It is best to wash hands with soap and clean running water for 20 seconds
* If soap and clean water are not available, use an alcohol-based product to clean your hands

* Alcohol-based handrubs significantly reduce the number of germs on skin and are fast acting
* When using an alcohol-based hand rub, apply the product to the palm of one hand and rub hands together. Rub the product over all surfaces of hands and fingers until hands are dry

• keep distance from well individuals as much as possible (at least 1 metre)
• cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, with tissues or other suitable
materials, to contain respiratory secretions. Dispose of the material immediately after use
or wash it. Clean hands immediately after contact with respiratory secretions!
• improve airflow in your living space by opening windows as much as possible.

Geographic Spread of Swine Flu / H1N

If masks are worn, proper use and disposal is essential to ensure they are potentially
effective and to avoid any increase in risk of transmission associated with the incorrect
use of masks. The following information on correct use of masks derives from the practices in health-care settings:

• place mask carefully to cover mouth and nose and tie securely to minimise any gaps
between the face and the mask
• while in use, avoid touching the mask - whenever you touch a used mask, for example when removing or washing, clean hands by washing with soap and water or using an alcohol-based handrub
• replace masks with a new clean, dry mask as soon as they become damp/humid
• do not re-use single-use masks
- discard single-use masks after each use and dispose of them immediately upon
removing.

Although some alternative barriers to standard medical masks are frequently used (e.g. cloth
mask, scarf, paper masks, rags tied over the nose and mouth), there is insufficient information available on their effectiveness. If such alternative barriers are used, they should only be used once or, in the case of cloth masks, should be cleaned thoroughly between each use (i.e. wash with normal household detergent at normal temperature). They should be removed immediately after caring for the ill. Hands should be washed immediately after removal of the mask.
