Maharashtra, Haryana, Asaam elections

Congress and alliance has been favoured by majority in the elections held recently. Since they were state elections and what we get to know through media is unfortunately half corrupted, it’s difficult to analyse the exact causes of the defeat of BJP and friends as it was considered an election season with full of anti incumbency. I heard a prominent political commentator saying it’s an insignia which is extremely alarming for the BJP since despite having some obvious positives it hadn’t performed up to the mark. When such plight stands, political organizations must seek for fundamental scanning of the ideology and even more importantly the election strategy.
I have been writing it for months now that Congress party is functioning as a corporate company. They know where their profit is for the sake of getting mass support; they have little to do with ideology, principles or rationale. They have got one readymade future leader also who enjoys unconditional support of flatterers around. Their present queen Victoria is extraordinarily cunning to manipulate politics for the benefit. These properties get combined with the notion of the secular and non secular in our country. Present day education is not providing our younger generations with the knowledge of facts pertaining our great ancestral virtues, traditions and culture. Thus citizens are not equipped with the sense of real nationalism, which is not merely having radical feelings on the verge of testing of national physical integrity but lies in the core of Indian culture that teaches us human values and the message of goodwill to entire multiverse, as “Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam.”
I must reiterate the fact that I am not at all an ardent supporter of BJP but what I believe in is truth and justice, though they’re not impeccable yet under present circumstances they’re the some right among many very wrong. It looks like people of thiscountry have decided to go for their convenience rather than national interest. It’s not surprising since they learn about Darwinism more than Geeta, Ramayan, Quraan, Bible, Guru Granth Sahib etc.
The lack of religions’ role in politics is a premier concern of mine. The materialism has got endless potential of alluring the mankind for negative until we don’t feed our way of thinking with the spiritual knowledge bestowed upon us by our predecessors. If I write about the flaws in electoral system, it’ll be another repetition but one thing I must say, the age of voting must be more than 25 years of age and not at all to this present limit, which is grossly hazardous to our democracy.
Ending it by calling for all human beings to think before doing anything and all the best for their future.

Defensive foreign policy “A major drawback for vibrant India”

From the history we must learn the lesson of being aggressive with our foreign policy. Successive Indian governments have always been over defensive with their approach towards foreign affairs and the Indian stand. We must profit the world with our intellectual and responsible civilization. Seeing injustice is as equal a crime as being the executer of injustice. For the sake of good relations with China, Indian government is thinking of scrapping the visit of Shri Dalai Lama to Arunanchal Pradesh! This is a defeat of self interest to morality; just a few days back, when I was celebrating Diwali far from home, some American, who is the president of a country named United States of America, told me with utmost elegance that Diwali is a festival of the Victory by the Light over Darkness, on the Devil by the kind, of the prosperity over atrocity. Shameful the fact is, the very origin of such great traditions, is falling victim of desire of fulfilling self interests even if it comes averting the principles, which our great culture preaches us!
The Father of the nation, Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi, himself said that for the attainment of the holy goal, our means should also be equally holy; ironically the ruling party claims to be following Gandhian ideology diligently! If we’ve provided shelter to a great leader of Mankind, I must press it’s our fortune that such a great soul resides among us, then why to restrain His holiness from travelling to a place that is the part of our country, no matter what China says, we must not scrap this visit and stamp our degradation of moral character over availing ourselves with whatever profit it might get us diplomatically or any other way.
We blatantly got failed in our efforts of rectifying the framework of United Nations for the betterment of the principle of Equality by not getting the Security Council reworked. We failed to provide this world a far strong United Nations’ leader in the form of Shashi Tharoor and USA got success in putting a weaker leader of its choice instead. We failed to convince Switzerland for the disclosing of assets mounted in its jurisdiction, especially when the person was proven offender and our democratic government, means the voice of a Billion people, requested Swiss authorities to do so. We failed to protect Women in Iraq, Afganistan, Pakistan and in other Islamic bigot states like UAE, Middle East and all. We failed to protect Tibetans, who relied and had faith on us, who came for shelter and got nothing in reply! This is the stark truth of this ancient civilization. This is the essence of this vibrant democracy, who declares on its emblem “Satyamev Jayate” (truth always wins).
Ending this article, I pay my deepest condolences to the people I saw getting injustice and couldn’t do anything fruitful despite a few efforts that I made, I feel shameful over myself, I am feeling weak, I am feeling tired, I am feeling sad but I am not defeated, I promise to all, till eternity, I shall always be there, for them in the hour of need, I shall always be with the truth and justice, and will lead the Humankind to its the most glorious and rightful place, long live mankind!

Graying of hair in young age "leukotrichia"

Leukotrichia (“Leuko” means white; “trichia” is from the Greek meaning hair or tail) in young individuals is a cosmetic health problem but can be indicative to many other ailments.
Before starting to jump on what to do, I must write some basics about the causes and general aspects of this condition. The most well established theory embraced by scientists for this condition is the Genetics of the individual. Hereditary factors play a major role as certain genes constitute this phenotype (what we see as the manifestation outwardly), displaying it for either certain set of conditions or even at a pre-programmed time. Simplifying it, for example, if an individual has this kind of hereditary graying of hair's pattern, on exposure to a peculiar sort of climate, physical or mental stress, malnutrition, hormonal imbalance secondary to any disease or infection, anemia specially Vitamin B12 deficiency pernicious anemia or Werner syndrome, pollution, thyroid disorder, Calcium deficiency (decreased bone density, mostly in post menopausal women) can be those triggering factors responsible for early grayish colouration of hair. If one's proximal relatives (father, mother, grand father, paternal and maternal relatives) had young aged grayish coloration, then it's most likely to have this condition precipitating earlier in life. Generally, when a person below 40 years of age has more than half of its hair gray, it's termed as "premature" graying of hair.
Melanocytes are the cells responsible for making a chemical named "Milanin", it's the same chemical or one can say "pigment" (color producing substance), which gives our body the unique blackish brown colour. When for any reason as mentioned above or even conditions like "Albinism" (genetic disorder), Vitiligo (auto immune disorder) etc. Melanin synthesis is hampered, the blackening of hair stops and it sprouts as grayish body from the Hair follicle. Melanocytes' Stimulating Hormone (MSH) is secreted by intermediate lobe of Pituitary gland, which is affected by length of night and day as well (presence or absence of natural light). That's why I stress upon disciplined diurnal lifestyle.
What to do?
The most convenient solution for this problem would be to Colour your hair, means dye your hair with any suitable and medically approved dying agent that are very easily available and widely accessible in market. Dietary supplements would only work if severe malnutrition is the triggering factor, such as pernicious anemia for B12 deficiency or even many a times Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) specially in young girls.
When people are paying for colouring hair, then why to be that sensitive on dying them! So, as long as possible, herbal dyes like Mehandi or similar solutions, mostly enumerated in Ayurvedic medicine or other conventional and traditional methods or one of the many competent dying cosmetic products available in market would do the trick. Remember, not to pluck the gray hair as many people report of engraving the problem in this way by having more of the hair being gray with the same gray hair sprouted again. To maintain Diurnal discipline (not to wake up much in night and lower the level of stress by Yoga or meditation, music etc.) being cheerful, sleeping at right time and getting well nourished with nutritious and balanced diet are basic precautions one must take in case of proximal relatives being affected with this problem.

Medical terms pertaining White Blood Cells

(1)Neutrophilia:-
Increase in the count of Netrophil granulocytes in the circulating blood. Neutrophils are primary white blood cells that respond to bacterial infections, acute inflammations, such as Myocardial Infarction (heart attack) etc.
Therefore in above cases, Neutrophilia precipitates. Appendicitis can also lead to the same.
Normal neutrophils' count is 40-60% of Total Leukocyte Count.
* Adults : 4,000-10,000/cu mm (µl)
* At birth : 10,000-25,000/cu mm (µl)
* 1 to 3 years : 6,000-18,000/cu mm (µl)
* 4 to 7 years : 6,000-15,000/cu mm (µl)
* 8 to 12 years : 4,500-13,500/cu mm (µl)
Drugs like Prednison (Has effects like cortisol), can bring sequestrated (marginalized) neutrophils to the blood stream.

(2)List of fractions of Total Leukocyte Count (TLC):-
* Neutrophils: 40% to 60%
* Lymphocytes: 20% to 40%
* Monocytes: 2% to 8%
* Eosinophils: 1% to 4%
* Basophils: 0.5% to 1%
* Band (young neutrophil): 0% to 3%

(3) Eosinophilia:-
Increase in Eosinophils from their normal concentration (number) in circulating blood. Normal being 0-0.5 * 1000000000 cells per litre.
Two types-> (A)Reactive (B)Non reactive.
(Release of Interleukin 5 by T-cells, mast cells or macrophages.)
Causes-> NAACCP= Neoplasia, Addison's disease, Allergy/Asthma, Collagen vascular disease, Cholesterol emboli, Parasites.
I should list some major conditions as well, se below:-
Diseases that feature eosinophilia:

* Hypereosinophilic syndrome
* Parasitic infections (intestinal helminthiasis)
* Allergic disorders (including eosinophilic esophagitis)
* Some drug reactions, e.g. DRESS syndrome
* Cholesterol embolization
* Churg-Strauss syndrome
* Some forms of chronic myeloid leukaemia
* Hodgkin's lymphoma
* Gleich's syndrome
* Addison's disease
* Clonorchis sinensis, a type of flatworm
* Eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome caused by contaminated tryptophan supplements
* Job's Syndrome caused by increased levels of Immunoglobulin E
* A form of Colitis, eosinophilic colitis.

(4) Lymphocytosis:-
Increase in number or proportion of Lymphocytes, thus absolute and relative in nature. Children less than 2 years of age have physiological relative lymphocytosis. Normal count being 20-40% of TLC in adults.
4000 cells per micro litre in adults
9000 cells per micro litre in infants
7000 cells per micro litre in children above 2 years of age
*Causes of absolute Lymphocytosis:-
- Acute viral infection, such as infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever), Epstein Barr virus infection, hepatitis.
- Other acute infections such as pertusis.
- Some protozoal infections, such as Toxoplasmosis and American Trypanosomiasis (Chagas Disaease).
- Chronic, intracellular bacterial infections, such as Tuberculosis and Brucellosis; acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

(5) Monocytosis:-
Increase in the number of Monocytes, circulating in the blood stream, above the normal level. Upper limit considered them for is 950cells per micro litre.
*Causes:-
Mainly during chronic infection, sub acute bacterial endocarditis, syphilis, infectious mononucleosis and other viral infections and many protozoal and rickettsial infections (Ex.- Kala Azar, Malaria, Rocky Mountain Spotted fever etc.).
Blood and immune system related causes- Chronic neutropenia, myeloproliferative disorders.
Autoimmune diseases and vasculitis; systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Malignancies- Hodgekin's disease, certain leukemias, CMML (Chronic Myelomonocytic leukemia. Recovery phase of neutropenia or an acute infection.
Miscellaneous causes: Sarcoidosis, lipid storage disease.

(6) Leukopenia:-
Decrease in the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) found in the blood, which places individuals at an increased risk of infections. Neutropenia is sometimes interchangeably used for Leukopenia, as neutrophils constitute a major portion of the total leukocyte count, specially in adults.
*Causes:-
Chemotherapy, Radiation therapy, leukemia, Myelofibrosis, Aplastic anemia, many common medications like immunosuppressives (Sirolimus, Mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, cyclosporin), some interferons, anti depressants and smoking addiction treatment drugs, antibiotics like Minocycline can cause leukopenia.
Other causes can be- Influenza, Systemic lupus erythematosus, Hodgekin's lymphoma, some types of cancers, typhoid, malaria, tuberculosis, dengue, rickettsial infections, enlargement of spleen, folate deficiency, psittacosis and sepsis, deficiency of certain minerals like Copper and Zinc.
*Pseudoleukopenia:-
At the onset of the infection leukocytes (mainly neutrophils), get sequestrated (marginalised), responding to injury, so that they can scan the site of the infection, evolving lack of leukocytes in circulating pool of blood.

Wind Energy, how much profitable?

Thermal power plants are utilizing millions of Gallons of water, solar energy is five times costlier than the wind, atomic reactors, coal based thermal plants or gas based units, all require continuous supply of concerned resources. In this light, experts see wind energy as a lucrative option to etch India's future energy scenario. According to international experts, it can drastically reduce the emission of CO2 as well, therefore can be used as an argument to get funding internationally for the set up costs, which are said to be quite higher for wind electricity generation plants, this way we can reduce our costs and it will provide huge number of direct and indirect employment.
India is among the ace technology bearing nations in terms of wind energy generation. More than 7500KM coast line is an amazing parametre, providing us an edge, as it has almost permanent wind availability. Some major load consuming metros are also nearer to sea, like Mumbai, Chennai etc. We can channelize the generation and supply better with this added perk. We must try to convince privet investors to look forward to this new and renewable energy resource, with continuous appreciation, the cost per unit can be made cheaper and comparable to other non renewable and hazardous sources for energy.
The future lies in energy, specially in electrical form, as we are in Silicon age and electronic equipments are part and parcel of a modern human. I hope my writing cite reasonable attention towards thinking positively for this subject and solving our problems well in advance. Thank you for reading.

Chandrayaan-1 A grand success!

A few days before, many Indian heart broke, when an error occurred for the contact with the Chandrayaan-1 (Lunar Observer-1); Indian media took the failure far constructively but there were people in all corners, disputing on abilities of Indian Space Research Organisation. The 7 major equipments, from ISRO itself and of various other organizations around the globe, performed in the manner, providing desired results in the planned pattern.
NASA scientists described their moments of emotional intensity at Bangalore, when the first high resolution moon pictures arrived at us, after it for this equipment only, data covering more than a thousand GB has been collected, most of which is in the form of 70-80K high resolution pictures (140 metre per pixel), since "C'Yaan" was in the nearest distance, around 100KM to the Moon surface, these pictures and data collected preserve substantial value.
The finding of Hydroxyl (Ionic form would be with a negative charge on OH, where O and H respectively denote each atom of Oxygen and Hydrogen, Atomic Weight 16 and 2) is exciting in curious community, as they see it another very strong possible parametre for the availability of Water on the moon. H positive and OH negative, combine to form HOH, which is our very own, lovely, cutie pie, the darling of heart and life "WATER MOLECULE". They presume, when we manage to reach there, for setting up of our colonies, this resource will be highly critical, but the availability though remains to be far minute, like on equator 50 Parts per Million, described analogically by a scientist as having entire water over moon's equator, within two table spoon, full of water. It has been noticed that on the poles of Chandra (Moon), there is more amount of water present, presence of which is credited to various physical phenomena, which are yet to be known fully. There will be analysis of all the data obtained, and with the lively contribution of entire mankind, we shall decode the code and will use it for the betterment of multiverse itself.
Both the organizations, Indian Space Research Organization and NASA have pulled up extraordinary task, their untiring efforts are jewel on Humankind's persona. Here I am pasting up a few pictures of the Chandrayaan-1, and optimistically hail for Chandrayaan-2, which is also expected in nearest of the future (around 2013) with later manned moon mission (2020) from India. I wish entire mankind, all the best for their endeavors, defining our constant hopefulness for the time and energy-web around us.

Pattern of individual's preparedness against pandemic Swine Flu in Bangalore; A critical approach

I have been reading a lot, specially in local news papers of Bangalore that people in general are gearing themselves up for the menace of Swine flu by trying enhancing their immunity with alternative medicinal practices like Ayurveda and the life style's modifications, such as Yoga

, which are the integral part of our Hindu culture. Simultaneously, I subscribe to the valid view of improving upon the infra structure of health and ambiance around ourselves, which comprises of basic municipal tasks of cleaning and managing the community-space.
Individual efforts of people suggest the level of consciousness and the urban level of literacy but I must be happier when see the change in the mindset of people, belonging to expand their horizon of thinking from constricting themselves to themselves to the broad view of society as an absolute entity in front of us. This will accelerate the pace of community based affirmation, particularly on the side of cleanliness of public places, habits that fuel that, purity maintenance for resources and ensuring their renewal with proper quality and sufficient quantity.
Being a newbie in this City, I observe people being largely pathetic with cleanliness, with a few facilities available for public domain for the sake of social management of sanitation.
Using the knowledge of ancient practices and the facts will empower the modern society to benefit themselves for the better. Yoga must be a routine practice for not only the Hindus but also for everyone, who wishes to be healthy and be useful for the society rather than being a burden on it. All the best to everyone for fighting against this threatening viral disease, long live the Mankind.
