God father

இந்த கதையை படியுங்கள்.... எல்லா துக்கங்களும் முடிவுக்கு வரும் .

சிறுவனை அழைத்துக்கொண்டு அவனது தந்தை ஒரு காட்டிற்குச் சென்றார். அப்போது மகனுக்கு ஒரு சவாலை முன்வைத்தார். ''மகனே, இப்போது உனக்கு முன் ஒரு பெரிய சவால் உள்ளது. அதில் வெற்றி பெற்றால், நீ பெரிய வீரனாகி விடுவாய். இன்று இரவு முழுவதும் நீ தனியாக இந்தக் காட்டிலேயே இருக்க வேண்டும். உன் கண்கள் கட்டப்படும். ஆனாலும் நீ பயப்படக்கூடாது; வீட்டிற்கு ஓடிவந்துவிடவும் கூடாது'' என்றார். சிறுவன் ஆர்வத்துடன் சவாலை சந்திக்கத் தயாரானான்.

அவனது கண்களைத் தந்தை துணியால் இறுகக் கட்டினார். பிறகு, தந்தை திரும்பிச் செல்லும் காலடி ஓசை, மெல்ல மெல்ல மறைந்தது. அதுவரை தந்தை அருகில் இருக்கிறார் என்ற தைரியத்தில் இருந்த அவனுக்கு, தூரத்தில் ஆந்தை கத்துவதும் நரி ஊளையிடுவதும் நடுக்கத்தைக் கொடுத்தது.
காட்டு விலங்குகள் வந்து தாக்கிவிடுமோ என்ற அச்சத்தில் அவனது இதயத்துடிப்பு வழக்கத்தைத் தாண்டி எகிறியது.

மரங்கள் பேயாட்டம் ஆடின. மழைவேறு தூறத் தொடங்கியது. கடுங்குளிர் ஊசியாய் உடலைத் துளைத்தது. ‘’அய்யோ! இப்படி நிர்க்கதியாய்த் தவிக்க விட்டு தந்தை போய்விட்டாரே! யாராவது வந்து என்னைக் காப்பாற்றுங்களேன்’’ என்று பலமுறை கத்திப் பார்த்தான். பயனில்லை.

சிறிது நேரத்தில், இனி கத்திப் பயனில்லை என்பது அவனுக்குப் புரிந்தது. திடீரென்று அவனுக்குள் ஒரு துணிச்சல். என்னதான் நடக்கும், பார்ப்போமே என்று சுற்றுப்புறத்தில் கேட்கும் ஓசைகளை ஆர்வத்துடன் கவனிக்கத் தொடங்கினான். இப்படியே இரவு கழிந்தது. விடியற்காலையில் லேசாகக் கண்ணயர்ந்தான். சூரியன் உடம்பைச் சுட்டபோதுதான், கண்கட்டைத் திறந்துப் பார்த்தான். கண்ணைக் கசக்கிக்கொண்டு எதிரே பார்த்தபோது, அவனுக்கு ஆச்சரியம்! ஆனந்தம்! அழுகையே வந்துவிட்டது. ‘’அப்பா’’ என்று கூவி அருகில் அமர்ந்திருந்த தன் தந்தையைப் பாய்ந்து தழுவிக் கொண்டான்.

‘’அப்பா நீங்க எப்போ வந்தீங்க?’’ என்று ஆவலாகக் கேட்டான். சோர்வும் மகிழ்ச்சியும் கொண்டிருந்த அந்தத் தந்தை, ''நான் எப்போது மகனே உன்னை விட்டுப் போனேன்’’ என்றார். இரவு இங்குதான் இருந்தீங்களா? பிறகு ஏன் நான் பயந்து அலறியப் போதெல்லாம் என்னைக் காப்பாற்றவில்லை? ஏன் என்னிடம் எதுவும் பேசவில்லை?’’ என்று கேட்டான்.

‘’உன் மனோதிடம் வளர வேண்டும். நீ எதற்கும் அஞ்சாத வீரனாக வேண்டும் என்பதற்காக மெளனம் காத்தேன். ஏனென்றால் அச்சத்தின் உச்சத்தை எட்டும்போது, துணிச்சல் தானே வரும்’’ என்றார் தந்தை. மகனுக்கு தந்தையின் நோக்கம் புரிந்தது.

கடவுளும் அந்தத் தந்தையைப் போலத்தான், நம்மோடு இருக்கிறார். துன்பத்திலும் சோகத்திலும் தவிக்கும்போது துவண்டுவிடாமல், நாம் தீரர்களாக வேண்டும் என்பதற்காகவே பல நேரங்களில் மெளனம் காத்து வெறும் பார்வையாளரைப் போல் இருக்கிறார்.

FDCs of cos with no data submitted to DCGI to prove safety, efficacy banned

Shardul Nautiyal, Mumbai
Saturday, April 09, 2016, 08:00 Hrs  [IST]

Even as interim stay has been granted to 20 odd pharma companies including Abbott, Pfizer and Macleods, the Union health ministry may ban another 739 drugs based on the Kokate committee report. The Kokate committee reviewed 6214 drugs, out of which 1083 were found irrational and 344 FDCs were recently banned which comprised of over 1600 brands. 

The health ministry, had, in a notification on March 12, banned nearly 344 FDCs following recommendations of an expert committee formed to examine the efficacy of these drug combinations.

Even as the Union health ministry's ban on 344 fixed dose combination (FDC) drugs including painkillers, anti-diabetic, respiratory and gastro-intestinal medicines has made a sales impact of over Rs.10,000 crore, category of FDCs most impacted includes antibiotics, antihistaminic, caffeine and codeine combinations and NSAID.

According to a panel member of Kokate committee findings, many drugs were found rational out of the 6214 examined. The companies were supposed to register and submit documentary evidence in the specified format to prove the efficacy of the drugs.

The irrationality of the FDC was assessed based on a blind process which could determine that the ingredients used in the FDC proved efficacious and safe for the patients. The FDCs were banned taking into consideration the health prospects of the common man with focus on antibiotic resistance.

FDC medicines combine two or more drugs in a single pill. When multiple drugs from the same therapeutic group, for example antibiotics, are clubbed together, it may lead to resistance, according to experts. In India, many pharma companies obtain licence from a state to make FDCs, and sell them without the consent of the Central government.

The Kokate committee has reviewed about 6,214 FDCs so far and classified them under four categories — irrational, require further deliberations, rational and require additional data generation. 

A member of the expert committee formed to assess the rationality of over 6,000 FDCs which culminated into banning of 344 medicines clarified that many of the FDCs did not face a similar fate and were cleared based on the scientific documentary evidences. Actions from the DCGI office was taken on companies who did not register their FDCs with the DCGI and did not show up with the requisite documentary evidence to claim the safety and efficacy of the respective FDC in question.

The DCGI, as directed by the health ministry under 33-P had called for submitting efficacy and safety data for all combination State Licensing Authority (SLA)-approved products prior to October 1, 2012. Further the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) stipulated that such applications must be made in Form 44, as there was no format specifically available for applications of SLA-approved and already marketed FDCs.

The DCGI had earlier agreed to allow all pre-1988 FDCs licensed by SLAs provided proof of pre-1988 license is submitted. FDCs of vitamins, minerals, other nutrients; probiotics/prebiotics/synbiotics, antacids/enzyme formulations, cough and cold permutation combination products, topicals, and such simple FDCs should be cleared as rational in view of these being unlikely to have any concern with respect to safety concerns and being used on day-to-day basis as household products.

“The SLAs had given permission to manufacture and market FDCs, whose ingredients were already in use and being prescribed regularly by the medical professionals – may be even for 20 to 30 years. Today, FDCs contribute 40 per cent of the Indian pharmaceutical market and in case these FDCs are discontinued abruptly, the Indian patients will be deprived of these affordable medicines and the manufacturers, retailers etc. i.e. the distribution chain, will be left with depleted stocks resulting in substantial loss, especially to the small scale sector. India is the world leader in FDCs and today, even regulated markets are seeing introduction of more combination products progressively. Hence the bias against FDCs, if any, would be a retrograde step and negate the great achievements made by the Indian pharma manufacturers,” an IDMA submission concluded.

Government has banned common household medicines Crocin Cold and Flu, D-Cold Total, Sumo, Oflox, Gastrogyl, Chericof, Nimulid, Kofnil, Dolo Cold, Decoff, O2, paediatric syrup T-98 and TedyKoff, as part of its decision to stop the manufacture and sale of FDCs.

Market estimates reveal that the ban impacts over 2700 medicine brands. While Abbott Healthcare will be worst hit, with an annual loss of Rs.485 crore, other companies including Lupin, Sun Pharma, Glenmark, Wockhardt, Aristo and Intas would also bear the brunt.

 

Will Bengaluru have to be Evacuated by 2023?

Will Bengaluru have to be Evacuated by 2023?
*********************
"The Government of Karnataka will have to Evacuate half of Bangalore in the next Ten years, due to Water Scarcity, Contamination of Water and Diseases."

It is an Ominous Prophecy from Sri V Balasubramanian, the former Additional Chief Secretary of Karnataka and Chairman, Centre for Policies and Practices, who conducted an elaborate Study of the Water woes of the State Capital.

Bangaloreans would do well not to dismiss Sri Balasubramanian's peep into the Future as an exaggeration of a worried Mind. It is corroborated by the Lab results at the Public Health Institute, and the Department of Mines and Geology of the Karnataka Government.

The Results reveal that 52 per cent of the Bore well Water, and 59 per cent of Tap Water in Bengaluru, is not Potable and contain 8.4 per cent and 19 per cent E.coli Bacteria respectively.
The Reason: the Ground Water in at least half of Bengaluru is contaminated with Sewage Water.

In 1790, a British Captain had described Bengaluru as the Land of a Thousand Lakes. Today less than 200 of those 1000 Lakes remain and are no more than Sewage Tanks. The Sewage Water Contaminates the Ground Water and Percolates into the Bore Wells.

For those wondering where the 800-odd Lakes disappeared, one just has to drive around Bengaluru to say, JP Nagar 4th Phase, which was in fact the Sarakki Agrahara Lake.

Or to the Kanteerava Stadium where the Sampangi Lake once existed.

Or Banakshankari 2nd stage (Kadirenahalli Lake),

Kempegowda Bus Terminal (Dharmabudhi Lake),

National Dairy Research institute (Koramangala Lake),

HSR Layout (Parangipalya Lake) and more.

You are unlikely to find any Epitaphs to what was clearly a better City to Live in.

"The 850 km of Storm Water Drains meant to carry Surplus Water from Higher elevation Lakes to Lower Levels in a cascading system of Natural Rainwater Harvesting, now instead carry the City's Sewage into these existing so-called Lakes," said Sri Balasubramanian.

"Only 30 per cent of the Sewage is treated by the Sewage Treatment Plants and the Rest Flows into the Existing Lakes," he said.

Travel in any direction in the Suburbs in Bengaluru and all You can see is Construction activity. Your Picture of a Beautiful Life cracks the moment You enquire about the Water Supply in an Area from those already Living there.

The City's Population rose from 53 Lakh in 2001 to 87 Lakh in 2011 and at the present rate of Growth, is likely to touch one Crore by 2016.

Unfortunately the amount of Water in the Cauvery hasn't increased by the same Proportions.

It would help if those in charge of Supplying Water to Bengaluru would also care to plug the leaks in Water Supply.

An Estimated 35 percent of Water meant for the City is Wasted in Leakages.

This means of the 1400 mmMillion Litres per day (MLD) that Bengaluru draws, nearly 500 MLD is lost as Leakage, and with 150 MLD allotted to Industries, One Crore Bengalurueans will have to make do with 750 MLD everyday in 2016.

This will work out to 75 Litres per capita per day (LPCD) while the Government of India norm for Metro cities is 150 LPCD.

Clearly there is a huge Mismatch between Demand and Supply of water from the Cauvery.

Bengaluru gets an annual Rainfall of 900 mm. But the use of over 3 lakh Bore Wells in the City to draw Ground Water amounts to almost Three and a half times Water drawn than the amount received to recharge it. Hence, it comes as no Surprise then that most Bore Wells have gone Deeper, even up to 1000 Feet and the ones which aren't as deep have run dry. The Greater Fear is that even this Polluted Water may not be Available after 2018.

And Rainwater Harvesting is merely Symbolic in the Garden City. Out of 18 Lakh Properties, only 44,000 Houses have Rainwater Harvesting Structures.

Most Residential Properties then rely on Water supplied through Tankers, that have emerged as one of the most powerful Lobbies in Bengaluru. It is such a Booming Business, that there have been instances of the Water tanker Mafia using force to prevent Residential Societies from digging Bore Wells to reduce their expenditure on Water Supplied by them.

When Sri  S.M Krishna was Chief Minister, he spoke of making Bengaluru another Singapore. In a sense, his wish has come True Because Bengaluru today,
just like Singapore, uses Sewage Water.

The difference, however, is that while Singapore treats its Sewage and produces what it calls 'New Water', Bengaluru is forced to use Untreated Sewage Water.

In its report in January 2010, the Agenda for Bengaluru Infrastructure and Development (ABIDe) Task Force suggested Rejuvenating the Lakes in the Region, as part a Bengaluru Water 2020 Blueprint. It also asked for focus on Recycling of Water, adding "a specific target should be set for the quantity of Water that can be supplied from Lakes by 2012. The Goal for obtaining 500 MLD from the Integrated Water Management project may be set as the Initial target."

Three years on,
very little of it has translated into action and Bengaluru continues to sit on a ticking Time Bomb without realising it will explode in its Face one day.

"A City dies when its Lakes Die. Today Bengaluru is growing without Realising it is actually Dying," laments Sri Balasubramanian.

Be Receptive

“Receptive” implies being open to ideas and suggestions.

It means you are inclined and willing to receive whatever it is that you need at that moment – data, creativity, a new idea, or whatever. It’s the opposite of being closed minded and stubborn.

People who are receptive are willing to have a “beginner’s mind,” the willingness to learn, even if they are considered the expert. Because they are not defensive, these people have sharp learning curves and are almost always the ones who come up with the best ideas. They are fun to work with and are great team players because they think “outside the box” and consider differing points of view.

I know a person who is one of the most receptive individuals I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. He was a business leader who was willing to listen to everyone – and who would frequently take the advice of his employees. Rather than stubbornly insisting that his answers were always the best, he would take his ego out of the picture. He would reflect on the suggestions given by his employees to determine the best possible course of action.

He told me, “It made my job so much easier. By being genuinely receptive to suggestions and ideas, rather than shutting them off, I had the advantage of hundreds of brilliant minds working together – rather than having to rely on my tiny little mind.”

Our own unique flaw

Once upon a time there was a water-bearer in India who had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
 
For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pot full of water in his master’s house.
 
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was
made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
 
After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water-bearer one day by the stream. “I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you.” “Why?” asked the bearer.
 
“What are you ashamed of ?”
 
“I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master’s house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work and you don’t get full value from your efforts, the pot said. The water-bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, “As we return to the master’s house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path.”
 
Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it some.
 
But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologized to the bearer for its failure.

 
The bearer said to the pot, “Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot’s side?
 
That’s because have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you’ve watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master’s table.
Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house.”
 
 
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that
make our lives together so very interesting and warding. You’ve just got to take each
person for what they are and look for the good in them

Confidently walk into anything God brings our way

Two men went fishing. One man was an experienced fisherman, the other wasn't. Every time the experienced fisherman caught a big fish, he put it in his ice chest to keep it fresh. Whenever the inexperienced fisherman caught a big fish, he threw it back. 

The experienced fisherman watched this go on all day and finally got tired of seeing this man waste good fish. 

"Why do you keep throwing back all the big fish you catch?" he asked.

The inexperienced fisherman replied, "I only have a small frying pan." Sometimes, like that fisherman, we throw back the big plans, big dreams, big jobs, and big opportunities that God gives us. Our faith is too small.

We laugh at that fisherman who didn't figure out that all he needed was a bigger frying pan; yet how ready are we to increase the size of our faith?

Whether it's a problem or a possibility, God will never give you anything bigger than you can handle. That means we can confidently walk into anything God brings our way

CONFIDENCE

The business executive was deep in debt and could see no way out.

Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.

Suddenly an old man appeared before him. "I can see that something is troubling you," he said.

After listening to the executive's woes, the old man said, "I believe I can help you."

He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand saying, "Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today,
and you can pay me back at that time."

Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.

The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world!

"I can erase my money worries in an instant!" he realized. But instead, the executive decided to put the uncashed check in his safe. Just knowing it was there might give him the strength to work out a way to save his business, he thought.

With renewed optimism, he negotiated better deals and extended terms of payment. He closed several big sales. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the uncashed check.
At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. But just as the executive was about to hand back the check and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man.
"I'm so glad I caught him!" she cried. "I hope he hasn't been bothering you. He's always escaping from the rest home and telling people he's John D. Rockefeller."

And she led the old man away by the arm.

The astonished executive just stood there, stunned. All year long he'd been wheeling and dealing, buying and selling, convinced he had half a million dollars behind him.

Suddenly, he realized that it wasn't the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his newfound self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after.

God personally saves!

One day Akbar said to Birbal, "I marvel at some of the fantastic beliefs that you Hindus hold. You believe that the Lord comes to this earth in the garb of a human being - what an absurd notion this is!"

"What is so absurd about it, sire?" asked Birbal. "The Creator of the cosmos is also the Father of us all. Is it so fantastic that the Father should come down to earth to save His children?"

"Of course it is fantastic and absurd," Akbar insisted. "Why should the Creator of the cosmos soil His Divine Form and plunge into the samsara sagara - the ocean of material existence?"   Birbal made no reply.

A few days passed.  Akbar and Birbal were taking a leisurely stroll along the banks of the Yamuna. A pleasure boat was sailing on the river; the Emperor's infant son sat on the knees of his nurse, and was enjoying this leisurely boat ride. When the nurse saw Akbar and Birbal on the bank of the river, she was so startled that she tried to stand up in the boat and the child on her knees fell into the river! 

Emperor Akbar was astounded!   Without a moment’s hesitation he plunged into the cold waters of the river to save his son.  Swimming fast, he reached the child - only to realize that it was but a doll that had been thrown into the waters!
Birbal swam after the king to meet him mid-river. "Even as an earthly father, sire, you plunged into the waters and did not in the least bother about your royal robes getting soiled and wet." he said to Akbar."Does our Heavenly Father not love us a million times more than we love our children? Would He not plunge into the murky waters of the samsara-sagara to save His children?"

The Emperor made no attempt to answer his Minister

5 Ways To Make a Killer First Impression

1. Set an intention. The most important thing to do for giving a good impression is to set your intention. This is especially important before any kind of big event where you would be meeting a lot of people — i.e. conferences, networking events or friend’s parties. As you get ready or when you are driving over think about what kind of people you want to meet and what kind of interactions you want to have. This can be an incredibly grounding experience and works very well to focus on what kind of energy you want to have for your event.
   
   
2. Think about your ornaments. Clothes, make-up, jewelry, watches and shoes are all types of ornamentation and people definitely take these into account when making initial judgments. I highly recommend getting some of your favorite outfits or ornaments together and asking friends you trust what they think of when they see them. For many men, they do not realize that their watch can say a lot about them. For women, purses and large earrings or jewelry can also indicate a lot to a new person they are meeting. Make sure that what you are wearing and how you do your hair or make-up says what you want it to say to the people you are meeting for the first time.
   
   
3. Be Conscious of Your Body Language. Body language is a crucial part of first impressions. Everything from your posture to how you carry yourself to the way you’re angling your body. Often, simply being aware of your body language can result in immediate improvements. Another way to examine your body language is to look at yourself on a video walking around a room. Subconscious cues to keep in mind include noticing where you point your feet, the position of your shoulders, and the way you shake hands.
   
   
4. Avoid bad days. People who go to cocktail events or mixers after having had a bad day typically continue to have a bad day. If you are in a depressed or anxious mood, others will pick up on this from your facial expressions, comments and body language. If you’re having a bad day, stay home! Otherwise, find a way to snap yourself out of your bad mood. I find working out or watching funny YouTube videos before events often gets me in a more social, feel good mood.
   
   
5. Be interested and interesting. If you are truly interested in meeting people and are open to learning about who they are, they will get this in a first impression. We have all had the experience of meeting someone and knowing instantly that they were dragged here by a friend and are just waiting to get out the door and head home. When you are meeting people for the first time approach others with a genuine interest in who they are. This is often contagious and you will have better conversations and lasting connections when you are interested because they become interested.

Fact versus Opinions

Many times we create confusion when we add our own opinions to facts and come up with wrong conclusions.
For example:
FACT: Two people are whispering when you walk up. Suddenly they stop talking.
OPINION: They must be gossiping about me.
FACT: A new lady is appointed in my department.
OPINION: They will ask me to leave!
FACT: He has reported about me to authorities.
OPINION: They will blacklist me. I am now ruined & finished!

Many a times we tend to behave negatively due to our own adverse opinions. We feel people per se are hostile & unfriendly. We become anxious & fearful for no good reason in a situation which is relatively safe.

It is said: “Men are disturbed not by things that happen, but by their opinions of the things that happen.”

No Breakfast Yes for Brain and Liver Damage

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS



1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2 . Overeating=2 0
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our 20 body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6 . Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells..

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

The main causes of liver damage are:



1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.

2. Not urinating in the morning.

3 . Too much eating.

4. Skipping breakfast.

5. Consuming too much medication.

6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.

7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil.
As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is20very fit.

8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.'

The top five cancer-causing foods are:


1.. Hot Dogs

 

Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.

2. Processed meats and Bacon

   

Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.

3. Doughnuts



Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.

4. French fries



Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .

5. Chips, crackers, and cookies

       

All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

 

Why do we light a lamp?

In almost every Indian home a lamp is lit daily before the altar of the Lord. Insome houses it is lit at dawn, in some, twice a day – at dawn and dusk – and in a few it ismaintained continuously (Akhanda Deepa).

All auspicious functions commence with thelighting of the lamp, which is often maintained right through the occasion.Light symbolizes knowledge, and darkness, ignorance.

The Lord is the"Knowledge Principle" (Chaitanya) who is the source, the enlivener and the illuminatorof all knowledge. Hence light is worshiped as the Lord himself.

Knowledge removes ignorance just as light removes darkness. Also knowledge isa lasting inner wealth by which all outer achievement can be accomplished. Hence welight the lamp to bow down to knowledge as the greatest of all forms of wealth.

Why not light a bulb or tube light? That too would remove darkness. But thetraditional oil lamp has a further spiritual significance. The oil or ghee in the lampsymbolizes our vaasanas or negative tendencies and the wick, the ego. When lit by spiritual knowledge, the vaasanas get slowly exhausted and the ego too finally perishes.

The flame of a lamp always burns upwards. Similarly we should acquire such knowledgeas to take us towards higher ideals.

Whilst lighting the lamp we thus pray:
Deepajyothi parabrahma
Deepa sarva tamopahaha
Deepena saadhyate saram
Sandhyaa deepo namostute

I prostrate to the dawn/dusk lamp;
whose light is the Knowledge Principle (theSupreme Lord), which removes the darkness of ignorance and by which all can beachieved in life

Follow Your Heart

Sometimes your heart thinks, whom do you really love?

You love someone, but you like someone else
Your minds speaks, but your heart denies...

Someone listens, but someone else comforts...
Someone prays, but someone else consoles...

Someone says, but someone else's actions speak...
Someone laughs, but someone else understands...

Someone just tells, but someone else makes you do...
Someone is there, but someone you want is not...

You search for someone in someone else...
Is this a beginning of Love, or is it the end?

A time comes in life when you think what love really is?
What you think is love, or is it something else?

Listen to your mind..., but follow your heart.

It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit.

YOUR LOVE

SMALL STORY

A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed.
The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.
That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.
Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, employer-employee relationship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully

LET EXCELLENCE BE YOUR TRADEMARK!

LET EXCELLENCE BE YOUR TRADEMARK!

“One great cause of the failure of people in business,’’ said ravishankarji, is the lack of concentration.” Most people who become great confine their powers to one particular channel. It is not a matter of doing many things indifferently, but of doing one thing supremely well. The great difference between those who succeed and those who fail does not consist in the amount of work done by each, but in the amount of intelligent work. Concentrate your powers upon one unwavering aim, one absorbing purpose. Whatever you are engaged in, you are, in the words of GoD, to be “all there.” Think for it, plan for it, work for it, live for it, throw your mind, might, strength, heart, and soul into it-and success will crown you.

Make it a life rule to give your best to whatever passes
through your hands.

Let superiority be your trademark let it characterize everything you touch. This is what every employer is looking for. The majority of people do not see that the steps which lead to the position above them are constructed, little by little, by the faithful performance of the common, humble, everyday duties of the position they are now filling. Good work is the best substitute for genius, it is better capital than cash, and it is better promoter than friends.

Most people think, because their occupations in life are humble, because they occupy no place of special importance, no office of distinction that they are of very little account. You should look upon your calling, however humble, with the same sense of pride as you would if you were occupying a position of great distinction. Why not? Your place in life, your vocation, is out just as much consequence to you as that of the president of the country is to him or her. Nobility is the child of Superior Quality.

Resolve that your life’s work shall be a masterpiece.

No matter whether it marketing, farming, lawmaking, let it be a masterpiece. Thoroughness is at the foundation of all success – your own inner success in character building, and your outward success in the world of progress
