Here is a True Indian or should I say a true Human being

When I saw this news item, I was really overwhelmed by the great Heart of  Kochousheph, who is the Managing director of the well known consumer product group V Guard.  Like his company's ads, he has done something, which will make a fellow human who  has been very near the Eternal gates of Death has been given a new life. My Salutations to you Noble Sir, You are a true great Human being, who has shown the world the joy of gifting life, even when living.   You are truly a Godly person and may all the happiness, health, wealth and peace be with you all the time. For my readers, the below news item will only make them wish with me Mr Kochousheph the above along with me KOCHI: VGuard Industries managing director Kochouseph Chittilappilly's deed of donating his kidney has given a new lease of life to Joy Ulahannan, who had been suffering from endlife renal failure . The surgery was done by a team of doctors led by urologist Dr George Abraham and nephrologist Dr Aby Abraham on W

Beauty pagents

Anybody reading this would be going over to the Beauty Queen contest, where in young girls walk on the ramp displaying - beauty, pomp, elegance, figures etc.  Yesterday, I  saw one such program.  Oh No go on visualizing beautiful girls in exotic locations,  what I was seeing was really distressing me  - No dont take me wrong - It wasnt the bodies were exposed, it was very vulgar, etc. It was all for wrong reasons, the beauties were extremely adorable, everyone whether a woman or a man would love to cuddle these beauties and give a good kiss full of love - Hold your breath - these were all aged 2 1/2 to 4 years old. and the next group was above 5.    These children were made to undergo the following as per the explanation given by the TV show program  The toddlers & tiaras .   On any given weekend, on stages across the country, little girls and boys parade around wearing makeup, false eyelashes, spray tans and fake hair to be judged on their beauty, personality and costumes.

euthanasia

This post was sitting in my drafts section for more than a year and I wanted to post it at least now when there is case which has gone to the Supreme Court as a Mercy petition on behalf of a patient Aruna Ramachandra Shanbaug , who has been lying in a vegetative state in a hospital bed for 37 years .  After a heinous crime of molestation which turned violet left for dead, she had been living in her hospital bed with no improvement currently she lives on mashed food being fed through a throat tube till all these years. But the panel of doctors report states as follows:   But the 60-year-old likes fish and chicken soup, calms down after listening to devotional music and dislikes crowding in her hospital room, said an expert panel report submitted recently to the court. Being the first-ever euthanasia plea before the judiciary, a bench comprising Justices Markandey Katju and Gyan Sudha Misra was extremely careful and set up a panel of eminent doctors to examine and report her medical cond

Recently I had been to Ottawa - Oh Just less than 24 hours.  I flew  into the city in the night and left the next day evening, but still whateve I saw of it and heard about it, I wanted to pen it donw.  These few lines I had taken from internet to get the correct facts. Some facts about Ottawa: Ottawa    is the capital of Canada , and is the fourth largest city in the country. Ottawa is situated on the south bank of the Ottawa River, and contains the mouths of the Rideau River and Rideau Canal. The oldest part of the city  is known as Lower Town, and occupies an area between the canal and the rivers. Across the canal to the west lies Centretown  or the downtown, which is the city's financial and commercial hub. Situated between Centretown and the Ottawa River, the slight elevation of Parliament Hill is home to many of the capital's landmark government buildings, including the Peace Tower, and the legislative seat of Canada. As of June 29, 2007, the Rideau Canal , which stretc

Gifting

Recently my mother in law passed away. She was 84 and had a good life.  At the time of her death, I was the only one in the family who was talking about Eye Donation - who didnt happen, because, the others overruled me in larger numbers and I had no say.  But please, the readers of this blog dont let this happen to your near and dear.  Make sure that eyes are donated.  You will be more than convinced after reading this through India’s Total People- 118 Crore, Each Day Death - 62389, Each Day Born - 86853, Total Blinds - 682497. If each Death People Donate their Eyes, Within 11 Days, All those will be able to See. Then in India there will be NO BLINDS. If nothing else convinces you, then the above should. Reusable is not just for plastics and paper but also for our Body Parts.  Help others See, even if you blinded by love of the your beloved person who is dead

Patriotism

This one word makes everyone have goose pimples, who ever they are, what ever they are, isnt.  And for every countryman, their Country is Best. One great appreciable thing with US citizens is their amazing patriotism which I would rate it very very high.  Everyone of them is made to think of serving their country by joining the Services.  Recently, I was having a conversation with a young boy who was going back to his Military Academy school.  all of us were taking the shuttle to the airport from Lawrenceville to Atlanta Airport.  I was so happy and proud to be talking to this young boy.  He belongs to a real military family - his grandmother had 20 years of service.  Both his parents are in Service.  His mother has 20 year of Service and she is now currently in Afghanistan.  The pride in his voice was so heavenly when he talked about what he wants to achieve in life - he wants to get into Navy as his first goal.  We were talking about drugs, the way the other countries prepare their

Getting the best of the weather

On travel in US during a bad weather is a very very terrible experience whether they are residents of US or people from far off countries like me.  It throws the entire travel schedule and especially if you have a back to back appointment in couple of cities, GOD be with you.  It is a terrible nightmare.  Thank God,  in all my earlier travels, especially in Jan/Feb, though I criss cross the US, I didnt face any such problem.  This time around, I am lucky to base myself out of Jersey city and then do the travel plan.  The best thing, I like about the weather prediction, is it is 95% reliable, unlike Ramanan, of weather Station fame, in Chennai, who has to make a ambiguous statement that it is likely to rain, drizzle, pour etc either throughout the states or the coastal region and you can safely leave your umbrellas in home and it is 90% opposite of what he says. The almost near forecasting  of the weather helps me to plan my trip nicely avoiding travel during that region or those date
