Pradeep Chats My Views,My Way,My Say

It has been a long time I wrote some post on this blog.Was quite occupied with my work.

Watched 3 idots last week,Wow it is a beautiful,splendid and a great film to watch.I am sure this would be the opinion of almost all people who would watch this! Director Rajkumar Hirani(Munna Bai fame),once again prooves that he is a director with great creativity and nack and needless to say Aamir Khan(”Rancho’ in the film)) once again prooves that he is the best in bussiness.

The film takes a dig at the current education system and the pressure that students undergo.The film mocks at the out dated curriculum and the way it is drilled into the minds of the students

The best part for me was to watch the speech by Omi Vaidya(named Chatur Ramalingam in the film) during the teachers day function,where he delivers the speech in Hindi which he has memorised,not understanding the real meaning of the words.Omi’s speech, which was tampered by Rancho by substituting ‘Balaatkar’ for ‘Chamatkaar’ and ‘Sthan’ for ‘dhan’ really sounds hilarious

Just watch the movie ! you will enZoy…It is the Year 2009 Blockbuster!!!!!! 

And for the makers of the film I have the these words ” Jahanpana..Tusi great Ho….Tofhe Kabool Karo”

Real Surprising and stupid this may look..Indian praying for Pakistan’s victory!!!

Not in their wildest of dreams,one can imagine Indians Praying for a Paki’s victory in cricket.The Cricket Crazy nation-India has always hoped that Pakistan gets defeated in all its matches!

But the time and situations are different this time around in the Champion’s Trophy.Tomarrow is a day when we will come to know the fate of our cricket team on its chances of entering Semi-finals.Not only we need to win against the west-Indies by a huge margin,but also must pray that Pakistan wins against Australia by a huge margin.Yes we are at the mercy of Pakistan!

My Gut feelings says that Pakistan may not worry too much of tomarrow’s match and as Indians,even they would be happy to see their erstwhile cricket-enemies pack their bags.

As an India,I also pray that we win this Trophy,but the fact is we have not demonstrated our competence to win.Our bowlers are bowling worst then the India B team bowlers and fielding has been pathetic.

Let us wait till tomarrow and see whether the prayers will be answered!

Well This was the news that is being published,circulated today.Just do the Google search…..you will be alarmed to see the results.

These were the comments made by defence expert - Bharat Verma . I am not a astrologer nor a Tarot card reader to comment on the accuracy or the exact happening of this event,but this gives us few things to ponder.

• Are we prepared in case of this eventuality.This question becomes more relevant,as even our country is embroiled in lot of internal tensions like to Maoist and terrorism issues
• Is our Military prepared??Do we have the weaponary to match the Chinese army?
• How prepared are our people,Politicians and civil administration??

But there are other thinking that this may not happen

• With the current recession and economic turmoil,no country would take such a foolish decession
• India is a nuclear power and has strong relations with US now.India cannot be considered as sitting ducks!
• China is not a foolish country.It understands that war brings in sactions and would deteriorate the already dimishing economic conditions in China.

Let us wait and pray that this war does not happen.This is not good for both China and India!

Jai Hind

It is rightly said,in this modern stressfull world..”We work to earn money,but end up earning and accumulating Stress”.

People have wide variety of methods to releave the accumulated stress.Unarguably the best method being meditation.One of the best sources I have seen and known for this is Sri Sri Ravishankar Guruji’s Art of Living.

Just go to their website and experience yourself.You will surely enjoy it….

Jai Gurudev!

Let me tell you right from the heart.The main purpose of starting this blog was not to just make money…but to share my ideas,read ur comments,which would lead to idea sharing/exchange.But it is obvious,nothing comes free in this world.Note that to maintain my blog,I need to give charges to the hosting server and also devote my time in thinking and writing.This of course costs me!!!!

I did a small google search and found the following blogs on Making money online very interesting and popular.But kindly bear in mind ,that these are the blogs solely and wholly dedicated to make money.(not like my blog…ha ha ha).

1.Shoemoney.com from Jeremy Schoemaker
2.Problogger.net by Darren Rowse
3.Johnchow.com by John Chow

So friends visit them and find out how much money they are making from their blog.Best of lucks!!!!!!!!

Friends,Thought of giving a gentle reminder on this…..Earth hour is today that is 28th March from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm.
Go and switch of the lights in your house and contribute your bit for the cause of Global warming.Do not forget to create awareness in your community….Pass on the message to your friends
Thanks a lot for reading and supporting!!!!!!

The 15th Loksabha elections in India are scheduled in April/May 2009.The political parties have already started anouncing their candidates for the constituencies in various states in the country.The action(or the drama ,as some people call)have already begun.It is right time to remember our duties…rather to say our most important fundamental right……To vote and elect a leader of our choice

Every citizen in this country,who is eligible to vote must and should remember that
*They MUST Vote
*There is no room for cribbing,if you do not vote
*Vote for the candidate who has performed.Good Performance must be the only criteria for
voting and not the cast or creed
*Vote for the person who is capable of reforming!!!

It is observed that in the elections,most of the Urban folks just miss the opportunity to vote.Take example of the last Assembly elections in Karnataka…Less than 30% of the urbanites voted.They are the people who complain about corruption,Bad infrastructure,poor facilities.Why don’t you express your anger by excercising your right!!??

One of my friend always complains that ,he does not vote as there are no right candidates..Well…Does it mean that.if you do not vote the things will be fine??You are indirectly helping the worst candidate to win..So no excuse…Get up…Go… and vote

Vote before any other person votes on your behalf!!!!!!

…..This is a guest blog from Dr.Seema Bhat……………………………………
Human life is a precious gift of nature. Naturally man is a miniature of nature. Because of preserving the Knowledge of human life and valuable experiences obtained from generation to generation, there is continuity of human race and survival of its several highly developed cultures and civilizations. Since the dawn of human civilization, man is aware that “health is Wealth”. There has been continues efforts to learn more and more about the concepts of health in every point of time.
Well known cultures of the past like Egyptian, Babylonian, Jewish, Greek etc have their own glorious knowledge system of health and life. Like wise Indian Knowledge system of healthy life developed with Indian civilization and culture is Ayurveda.
AYURVEDA IN NUT SHELL
The word Ayurveda is derived from two words. Ayu means Life and Veda means Knowledge. Hence Ayurveda means knowledge of life. Ayurveda is India’s healing gift to the world. It is the most ancient yet unique futuristic knowledge system of healthy life. 5000 years old, time tested and time trusted knowledge system is a divine gift to mankind.
What is the benefit of learning Ayurveda?
As mentioned in the Ayurvedic texts, benefits of ayurveda are as follows.
1)Preserving the health of a Healthy.
2)Restoring the health of a diseased.
There are about 250 health care systems in the world. Today conventional medicine has reached the extent of DNA finger printing and Gene Therapy. In spite of that nearly 80% of the world population are depending on traditional / alternative systems of medicine. Large amount of educated population of developed countries are switching over to natural health care systems. Among these Ayurveda stands very high in its popularity and worldwide acceptance.
What makes Ayurveda very special and unique among all other Health Sciences?
It is its holistic and positive health approach and following are its evidences.It is not easy to find the complete definition of health in any textbook of modern medicine. Till recent, definition of health according to WHO stated that “ Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely absence of disease infirmity”. It is very recently that spiritual well- being is also been included in the above statement. 5000 years ago definition of health in Ayurvedic texts stated, “Health is a state of equilibrium and harmonious state of body, mind, senses and soul.Primarily Ayurveda is science of healthy life and secondarily it is a science of curing diseases.
Preservation and promotion of health are given enormous significance in Ayurveda. Proper daily regimen is explained in detail to keep Harmony with nature. To avoid ill effects of seasonal changes meticulous description of seasonal diet and life style is explained.
Enumerable rejuvenation procedures are explained for promotion of health. Eg. Very popular Panchakarma procedures detoxify the body and reduce biological age of a person.
Probably no other health science preaches even healthy way of dressing!
Concept of medicine and treatment is also unique and complete. According to Ayurveda, “medicine is the one, which cures the disease with out leading to another, and not the one which cure the diseases but leads to another”.
According to Ayurveda, treatment is the one, which not only addresses the cause, cures the disease from its root, but also re-establishes state of health.Re-establishes positive health
Ayurveda by advocating tailor made diet; lifestyle, treatment and philosophy of life make sure that an individual walks along the path of perfect health through out the journey of life.
The current researches are the proof for the authenticity of Ayurvedic principles and treatment.
WOMEN AND AYURVEDA
Women is a wonderful creation of nature. They are wonderfully complex and beautifully delicate. Multiple roles a woman plays as a daughter, wife, homemaker, mother, professional etc. is physically and mentally quite challenging as well as tiring. As a woman one might share some common health risks with men like hypertension, diabetes, degenerative disorders etc. But because of woman’s special anatomy and physiology for distinctive role in reproduction women are at risk of some particular female disorders.
What Ayurveda offers a woman?
Ayurveda is a health care system sensitive to woman’s complete health needs. Women are very sensitive to the cycles and rhythms of the nature and Ayurveda is based on the principals of keeping the body toned in tune with nature. Hence naturally Ayurveda is very suitable to women.Ayurveda has multi dimensional approach for positive health for a woman. It advises a definite diet and life style suitable to her health needs at different phases of woman’s life. (Immunomodulatory activity of water ext. of bark and leaf of Azardiracta indica). {Estrogenic effect of Asparagus recemosus)
It has wide range of formulations; health care supplements and such other health products diet advices, life style tips, to manage the changes in the body of woman from puberty to menopause. (Uterine stimulant activity of evcare).
Ayurveda has definite remedial measures for prenatal, postnatal and neonatal care to ensure perfect reproductive health.Elaborative descriptions of prenatal diet activities not only ensure the health of pregnant woman but also the developing fetus. Probably it is the only medical science, which advocates prenatal education of a child. It also describes the understanding the psychology of a growing fetus through the desires of the pregnant woman and advices measures to avoid fetal anomalies.
“Safe and healthy motherhood” is given enormous importance in Ayurveda. It aims at achieving healthy conception, proper developments of fetus without any anomalies, month wise medicine, diet and activities, of a pregnant woman, importance to psychological and emotional status of pregnant woman, general and special care of pregnancy, management of diseases of pregnancy, comfortable full time delivery and maintenance of health in post delivery period. (Stress and Motherhood: The effects of Anxiety on a foetus).Conditions like premenstrual syndrome, menopausal changes etc make many women set back in their personal and professional life. Ayurveda promises remarkable cure for such sufferings of a woman and stands ahead to all other health care systems in the management of gynecological disorders. (Clinical evaluation of phytoestrogens in perimenopausal symptoms).
Ayurveda offers reliable options to many conventional treatments. Eg: HRT (Hormone replacement therapy). Many women because of its severe side effects apprehend it. Simple Ayurvedic formulations like Ashokarishta , Shatavari rasayana etc. give promising results with out encountering any side effects. (Evanova in Menopouse-An alternative to HRT) (Antioxident property of Emblica officinalis)
Ayurveda offers miraculous measures for beauty and anti aging !Undergoing periodic Ayurvedic rejuvenation therapies like internal medication suggested in rasayana therapy, external treatments with oil like body massage, keeps health and harmony throughout the lifespan of a woman.

Adaptations of Ayurveda makes sure that a women will have perfect physical, mental and spiritual planes of womanhood through out their life span.I would like to conclude by highlighting the importance for woman in Ayurveda. “Streeshu preethihi visheshena , streeshu apathyam prathistitham.”(Woman should be looked after with lot of love and care, as she is the route for continuity of life.)
CONCLUSION
‘Natural’ is today’s buzzword.
But everything natural is not safe
Hence it is very essential to follow the system, which judiciously uses natural
substances.
Similarly taking natural products is not the only way to a healthy life, but it is the natural way
of living.
Ayurveda an ancient wisdom used on contemporary basis is the way to a healthy life of
women naturally.

Today’s attack on the Srilankan cricket team by the suspected terrorists,is the first of its kind any circketer has ever faced or gone through,This has left 5 players and one staff injured.This once again strengthens the world’s claim,that Pakistan is a hub for terrorism,the members of which only know to cause panic and destruction

The attack happened on a broad day light and in a busy market area,under the nose of the security agencies.This is really alarming,because,there was lot of talk about the security of the touring side and all the way it was assured that everything is OK!!!

Where are we heading???The terrorists seems to be in no fear of anyone and just excecute their plans,in the way they want.This may be the signs of things to come in future and who knows ,this may be a dry run for some major attack.

This can happen even in India,and believe me,if it all happens,then Cricket will be a different ball game in future.

We must condemn this attack with the strongest words and hope that Pakistan authorities would surely investigate this rather than blaming India’s RAW.

Really feeling sorry for the Srilankan cricketers and surely,the Indian team is lucky for not travelling to Pakistan.

God Save Cricket and Cricketers
