 *Do you know that in India 1 person die in every 4 minutes due to Burn???* *Do you know Burn is the 2nd largest reason for highest number of Deaths in India after Road Accidents???* *Do you know we can save the lives of 140000 people every year just by donating our Skin after death??? It is not that People of India afraid of donating Skin, but unfortunately they do not understand the Concept of Skin Donation and Skin Banking. When a person die, it is not just a person, but the entire family of deceased person ruined. As we know, Skin is the largest human organ. It acts as a shield to protect us from heat and cold, as well as environmental impacts. For patients with severe burn injuries, donated Skin acts as life saver. Since people are not aware about Skin Donation *Rotary Club of Mumbai Borivali East (RID 3141)*  in collaboration with *more than 200 other Rotary Clubs & NGOs across India* have organized *Rotary Skin Donation Essay Competition* to create awareness in comm...

Covid the most talked about name in the globe right now isnt.  When  it first started in January February seeing the videos of people in China falling dead (I don't know whether the those videos were really true or not) all of us were severely hit by Fear psychosis. But today TV channels shout about the New High in number of cases  which is getting broken the next day.  But mind you  number of recoveries  is also increasing.  However,  I feel we are now loosing our seriousness about this.  Unless and otherwise somebody in your family or your friends or someone in your neighborhood test positive. then the fear return back for sometime but is gone immediately.  All of us are itching to go out whether it is for our livelihood or work or just a small outing. I am furious at the covidiots - both those who are flouting their safety as well as those who when tested positive dont want to reveal it to anybody and keep going about as no...

Part I has crossed over 1500 views within these 2 days.   Oh there  has been a tremendous outpouring of support and wishes from various quarters.  For many it was the first time that they were hearing about my  illness with covid and they were literally shocked.  The main purpose of this detailed writing is to remove the taboo about talking in open about being a Covid patient as well as share my experience so that people can learn from my trails and errors. Before I write in detail I need to first state here that except for my obesity I don't have any other Co- morbidity at all . From my personal experience I understand that the way this illness behaves with different people is so different. That's what makes it more scary  because you don't know whether  what worked for others will work for you or not.  People talk about patterns, about common symptoms and other commonalities.  The only thing that is constant in all narratives ...

Tamil Nadu  covid positive numbers 166K number of people recovered   114K yes I am part of the first number.   I am yet to get myself tested again to show that now I am gone over the curve of being positive to fully cured.and truly belong to the second number set too.   But today is the second day without fever and headache and I am pretty confident that I will soon come into that data set too.  We are a household comprising of members who are very old to very young with the ages ranging from 87 to 6 years and all these few months we have been keeping ourselves indoors not going out at all and getting everything door delivered.   All the things coming into the house have a waiting area and time whatever it may be and then only admitted into the house.    It was on the seventh of July the day will definitely be a very memorable day for me as it was the first Rotary club meeting that I am ...

One of my very fist blog posts was on the Awardees of Padma Awards in the yesteryyears.  I used to lament that the awards are mostly going to the persons from Art and Culture background.  Not that it was wrong to give to them, but giving only to them was the issue. But now adays I find that this Government is taking steps to recognize the Really Deserving and Little known Unsung Heroes and giving them the Nation's Highest Awards.  I really salute the Government fot this. Just saw the news item about the 21 Awardees - the one from Tamil Nadu  is Shri  S Ramakrishnan, Founder of Amarseva Foundation.  Sir our salutions and pramans and I am happy that the service that you have been doing to those that need them most is being duly recognized.  Congralutions Sir Shri S. Ramakrishnan, who was normal, was doing his final year at the Government College of Technology, Coimbatore. While doing the Naval recruitment exercises, he fell down during the test...
