That Liquid and Gas might Kill you one day!!

Hello my dear friends who I care about,
                                                    Today I got an opportunity to volunteer for a Hospice called Karunashraya which provides palliative care to terminally ill cancer patients.Its a very beautiful place.People who are pretty sure that, they are going to die, and dont have facilities come here to spend their last few days peacefully.
My work got delayed and so I got some time to observe the people over there.

                                                Many came with their families to visit their loved ones, they were not very sad as I expected . Probably they were mentally ready for anything. From a kid playing happily to a lady who wanted to join her neighbour in the hospice to an 70 year old grandfather shifting from his home to live there to a man who wanted to donate money because his mother had passed away in the same place,, few months back ...I met so many people.   

 Outside the gates of Karunashraya, life is different... there was man/woman ,rich/poor, literate/illiterate,
tamil/kanada, hindu/muslim, sweeper/IT professional.
 But inside there were only two types of people- HEALTHY and SICK.
 Which category do you fall in today? Which category do you expect to be in future?
We all are well aware when we spoil our health.
Like when we are not too bothered to go for a walk Or  when you skip that breakfast (for which we work for) because we are late for work.
 I knew it when I order in McD "French fries..make it Large"..that Iam not supposed to.
You know when you smoke your 6th cigarette in a day or when you buy that extra bottle of whatever-your-favourite.

 Just because we have good health,are we taking it for little too granted?

 Do you know 2.5 year old girl has cancer? When some people's only wish is to live.,others are are happily smoking away their  life. 

 The main addiction among my age group people is defintly alcohol and cigarette. The attractive, pleasure giving ,POISONOUS Liquid and Gas!
Few facts from the internet, which you probably already knew:
  1. Of 1000 youth who smoke today, 500 will die of tobacco related illness, 250 in middle life and  old age. Those who die earlier lose on an average 22 to 26 years of productive life, those who die later suffer ill health.
  2. Within seconds after tobacco smoke is inhaled some 4800 toxic byproducts are absorbed into the blood stream and transported to every cell of the smoker’s body.
  3. These toxic bi-products initiate cancer of the mouth, voice box, lungs, breast, food pipe, stomach, pancreas, urinary bladder, cervix etc.
Cigarettes kill,So does Alcohol. Too much of anything is not good.  Be it Love or Beer.( I dont know why I said that)

If you dont want history to say- He was born.He Smoked and then He Died. Stop the slow suicide.Apart from the fact that The Wills are making a good profit., there is nothing great about it.

 No matter how strong the addiction is, you can come out of it,If you are really bothered to live.There are lot of ways and people and organizations to help you.( I can help you find one). All that is needed is your determination.

Well , if you friends are going to be mad at you or force you or make fun of you- just punch their face and stop them too.

Including me, shall we all be a little more careful about the real wealth,our Health!

P.S :From your money to time to used things. Feel free to donate anything.

What is different about Men?

Hello Men and women, I have so many Wonderful  Men in my life..father,brother,uncles, cousins, friends,colleagues.. I always felt there is a big difference in the way I think and the way they think, So I observed them closely and came up with few results..,, 1.Men love food. 2.They dont really spend much time in shopping., (No wonder men's section is not that much crowded) 3.They say what they want to say directly and in a simple manner(they have a hard time understanding women when they say things indirectly) 4.They expect to be trusted. 5.Most of them want you to just listen to their problems. Thats more than enough.They are not asking for an half an hour advice. 6.They may look at 10 girls a day. But when they are commited to someone they take it real serious( most of them do) 7.They want to be heared out fully before being judged. 8.Helping women gives them a good feeling about themselves. 9.While handling complex situations , they are not as good as women. 10....

The Appreciation Effect

Hello people, I am here as a blogger because of my best friend who constantly "appreciates" my work. (It was his idea to start a blog).Thank you Laxman.  So i would like to start by discussing about the power of appreciation. "Appreciation can make a day,even change a life.Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary" -Margaret Cousins I was late to office and had to take an auto. He was not like the usual "fast and furious". He drove patiently and when neared my office he took the auto so close to the foot path,so that I dont have to walk that little distance. How thoughtful of him. Its a simple thing. Its a Rs.20 drive, but still he wanted to be perfect. I said "Thank You".It was clearly seen that he was happy to hear that :) . Iam pretty sure it would have boosted him up for the rest of the day. How many times do auto drivers get thanked for the safe drive ??. But they are never left without a scolding,when they make a...

Smile like a Smiley :) :)

Vaangana Vanakamna ,   From the beginning man was busy finding a way to communicate with his fellow beings. Starting from signs- signals-alphabets-pigeon post-telephone- telegraph. Then came the  giants-Internet and Mobile phones. People now  “Chat” without opening their mouths.  :p Thats when the smileys became a popular culture. A smiley is a human face , intially made with the keybaord keys. It then emerged into yellow faces , with black eyes and mouth. Now there are wide range of smileys apart from the faces.  The basic ones are :-) and :-(  The smiley was said to be documented first by a computer scientist ,Scott Fahlman in the year 1982. He called them "joke markers" 19-Sep-82 11:44 Scott E. Fahlman :-) From: Scott E. Fahlman <Fahlman at Cmu-20c> I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers: :-) Read it sideways. Actually, it is probably more economical to mark things that ...
