Swine flu–>Take Precaution

Swine flu is spreading in a drastic manner. There is panic in almost all over the world. Many states and cities in India have been locked and no person is allowed anywhere without a proper medical check up. Even schools and colleges have been suspended for many days. It is a communicable disease and is effecting many. It is spreading in a rapid manner from person to person. I think everyone should know the symptoms of this disease and should create awareness about this. Everyone should take precautions against swine flu.

Its important to note that swine flu is just an influenza A H1N1 virus. It is just another type of flu virus, that causes our typical seasonal flu symptoms. Swine influenza A (H1N1) virus has components of pig and bird influenza viruses in it, so that humans don’t have any immunity to it. This is the reason why it would become a pandemic virus (have the ability to cause a global outbreak) because it could easily spread from person-to-person.

Swine Flu Symptoms :-

Symptoms of swine flu infections can include:

• fever, which is usually high
• cough
• runny nose or stuffy nose
• sore throat
• body aches
• headache
• chills
• fatigue or tiredness, which can be extreme
• diarrhea and vomiting, sometimes, but more commonly seen than with seasonal flu

Signs of a more serious swine flu infection might include pneumonia and respiratory failure.

Swine Flu High Risk Groups :-

With regular seasonal flu, infants and the elderly are usually thought to be most at risk for serious infections, in addition to people with chronic medical problems. Swine flu high risk groups, people who are thought to be at risk for serious, life-threatening infections, are a little different and can include:

• pregnant women.
• people with chronic medical problems, such as chronic lung disease, like asthma, cardiovascular disease, and immunosuppressio.
• children and adults with obesity.
• diabetes mellitus.
• people aged 65 and older.

Serious Swine Flu Symptoms :-

More serious symptoms that would indicate that a child with swine flu would need urgent medical attention include:

• 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

Take Precautions Against Swine Flu :-

Everybody should be using some basic precautions to avoid swine flu. Here’s some ways to take precautions: 

• Stay home whenever possible. Ask your support team to get groceries, walk your dog, bring work home from the office, or whatever else you can delegate.
• If you develop a fever of 100.5F or higher, call your doctor right away and start drinking plenty of fluids. Stay well hydrated and get a diagnosis and treatment for whatever is causing your fever.
• If you cough or sneeze, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue and then toss it out. No tissues handy? Turn your face into the crook of your elbow, to keep germs from flying away.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol sanitizer – this will kill most germs.
• Avoid people who have a fever, cough, or sneezing, or complain of any flu-like symptoms
• If you feel like you are developing flu symptoms, don’t wait to see if it will just go away. Call your doctor or nurse practitioner and ask for advice or an appointment.
• Follow all local health recommendations. For example, you may be asked to put on a surgical mask to protect others.
• Antiviral Medications: The recommended antiviral drugs for H1N1 flu treatment are oseltamivir (brand name Tamiflu) and zanamivir (brand name Relenza®). Both are prescription drugs that fight against swine flu by keeping flu viruses from reproducing in your body. Your doctor may or may not suggest you take them. It will depend on how serious your infection is and your related co-morbidities (for example chronic lung disease).

Please spread awareness about swine flu among your freinds and family. Please include articles on swine flu in your blogs also. Take precautions and consult doctor before you are effected.

Flooded fake notes in INDIA-BEWARE!!!!

Are you all aware that you might be having a fake 1000,500,100 or 50 rupee notes without your knowledge.We all know the importance of money in life.Life is miserable without money.Indian market is flooded with fake notes.Even ATM machine dispenses fake notes (read more http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/is-your-atm-doling-out-fake-notes/476126/).It is very important for all us to learn to identify the fake note.It is your duty to check the note which you are receiving is a real or not.EXCHANGING THE FAKE NOTE IS A CRIME.This effects the economy of our country and its development.

As per Reserve Bank of India (RBI) figures, in 2007-08, about 1.95 lakh fake notes amounting to Rs 5.5 crore (twice the amount detected a year ago) were detected by commercial banks in India.

A 50 year old terrorist was caught with the fake notes in Delhi.click on this:- http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Cities/Delhi/50-year-old-LeT-terrorist-nabbed-with-fake-notes/articleshow/4618342.cms

Fake notes worth Rs2000 crore in circulation.Notes beginning with serial no 2 AQ & 8 AC are suspect.click on this:- http://indiatoday.intoday.in/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48403&issueid=111&sectionid=4

Read the circular from RBI :-

Eve teasing!!!

India is a democratic country where everyone is

:-considered equal

:-given equal rights

:-no discrimination made on the basis of caste,creed,sex etc…

But what is the use of these rights if people misuse it.In this modern world where education is given more importance,females are loosing their position in the society.They silently suffer comments in the streets,society,lanes,markets etc…From early decades itself women were restricted from many things,where as men were given more importance.An educated person who understand the importance of women in society, also wants a male child rather than a female one.

In buses,trains,along streets,lane everywhere w0men suffer from strong teasing.Women who are mentally strong will not be afraid to reply back or will overcome within seconds,but this will leave a strong impact on the women who cannot handle such a situations.Think of the parents of such a women,what will they be feeling about their daughter.Guys you will also be someone’s brother,husband,father,friend,uncle think if someone misbehave with a women who is among your relation,think how you will feel if you are in that kind of situation.

Now what are women supposed to do in this situation??Ignore??Suffer silently??Forget and forgive without doing anything??No,they should never ignore this.Complaint about this act to the nearest police station.Let them learn a lesson and understand that they are doing a crime which effects the society directly or indirectly.Women should be engaged in the classes for self protection organized by various police personnel in various cities.Parents should admit their daughter in such a classes from early ages so that they can face the situation with full bravery.Police should keep a note on such activity and should take strict action on this.They should keep an eye outside the colleges and schools.They should organize self defence classes for women and should encourage women to take part in it

Lastly men should understand that eve teasing is a crime and is effecting women either physically or mentally.In this democratic country both men and women are like two wings of a bird if one is harmed or cut down a bird can never fly.In the same way for the development of any country and its people both men and women should contribute and one should understand the importance of the other…

Chicken-a-la-Carte

check out this video.

http://www.cultureunplugged.com/play/1081/Chicken-a-la-Carte

Have you ever tried to live without food for atleast one day??Imagine how do small children feel when they get food after many days??

After watching this short film on food taste and hunger,two things came in my mind.They are

1.We should keep a note that we do not waste food.Just because we can afford resources more than our needs,it does not mean that we should waste it.Feel lucky that we can get food served on our table easily and think about the people while eating,who cannot afford to eat even 1 time meals properly.Then i guarantee that we will never waste food.

We should understand that the food we waste can be used to feed many people,even the resources like energy,time and many more can be used for future generation.

2.This video tells about those people who does not have the basic necessities in life,they are helpless and cannot afford to eat even 1 time meal.The person in the video inspire us that we must take care this minority if we need to be developed.Slums are again another minority group whose conditions are worst.Many die just because they can’t even manage 3time meals.Even many villages in our country suffer with such similar problems.

This is a time when youth and government have to understand these problems and should come together with not just solution but should implement it.

Always try to preserve and never waste

Are you patriotic???

Check what answer do you get when you ask yourself whether you are patriotic ?Ask yourself what you have done for India and its people?We all say that we love our nation and we are patriotic but we never do anything for our country.

Lead India campaign was one of the most inspiring and motivating campaign which i have ever come across.It made me realise that we work only for our needs to get satisfy and we don’t care about our country.How can i just think about me,my family,my friends. I am quite sure this is the same case with most of the people.

“ Tum Chalo To Hindustan Chale”, this was the tag line of the Lead India Movement, which meant that only if we do something India can do something.Only if we work India can develop.

Lead India movement which started 2 years before on the eve on 60th Anniversary of India’s independence focused on finding new leaders who can change the whole map of Indian politics.This campaign brought people out of their houses so that they start working for the benefits of India and its People.Rather than discussing about the issue and forgetting it later it is important that people should step out and solve the issue.

Celebrities like actor Amitabh Bachchan;actor Shah Rukh Khan;actor Abhishek Bachchan;lyricist Javed Aktar;actoress  and former Miss World Priyanka Chopra along with them many other personalities which include Nandan Nilekani, Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, Infosys Technologies Limited; Sunil Mittal, CMD, Bharti Group; Navin Jindal MD, Jindal Steel Power Ltd; MP Sachin Pilot, India’s youngest MP; Sabrina Lal communicated message of talent hunt via different sources.Youth should realise the leadership qualities within them which according to me is one of the key to success. It was stated that India lack good leaders to lead the nation.

check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgHyjMgPi2Q

One of the important area which needs attention is slums.There is a huge population of slums which stays near railway stations,streets.They even don’t have the basic necessity of life and some how manages to eat one time meals which is not even nutritious.We must find out more areas which require development.We must motivate and inspire the people that it is their duty to work for the development of nation and its people.

So people take up the responsibilities and take it as a challenge that we will keep this movement alive throughout.

Addicted to tobacco!!!

Tobacco use is the world’s leading cause of death.The rising number of deaths due to tobacco continues,despite a vast amount of knowledge which is available.it is predicted that by the year 2020, tobacco will be the world’s largest single health problem which will claim more lives than HIV,tuberculosis, maternal mortality, motor vehicle accidents,suicide, and homicide, combined

Are you aware of different kind of cancer that is caused due to the consumption of tobacco..here are they:-

lung cancer

head and neck cancer

Urinary bladder and kidney cancer

Breast cancer

Uterine cervix cancer

Pancreatic cancer

Colon cancer

here is the video on importance of WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY by WHO

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76XsNAB4R9k

All forms of tobacco are harmful and are found to carry huge risks of suffering and disease, greatly increasing
the burden of health expenditure throughout the world,The public needs to be aware of the risks that are involved in tobacco consumption.Government should regularly inspect the tobacco companies to check the level of tobacco used(I would rather suggest to shut the company but this may not be practical). Health professionals need to play a supportive role in helping individuals and communities stop smoking and chewing tobacco.Effects of tobacco should be included in the curriculum from early schools itself……

Lets hope that people understand the impact that tobacco make on their life and they stop the its consumption..

Different kind of people….

I always wonder why people are not a like……I have met different kind of people and I always think that there are two different category of people in the world…

1..People who always think positive

2..People who always think negative

Category 1 always think that any task given to them will be done.They think that there is always a second way of doing things.They motivate others.They always find good in anything and everything….

Where as category 2 is directly opposite.They seem as if they have lost hope in life…..

I totaly agree that people do have their views and there opinion but what i feel is this……

Well very strange but very true……
