Ayodhya

Today's judgement by Allahabad High Court in the 60 year old Ramjanma bhumi Babri Masjid was a landmark judgement. Though frankly i couldn't figure out how they reached the conclusion that the disputed place is the birth place of Ram. Anyways this judgement has shown that India is still India because of our Judiciary. All the three major parties to the case were taken into account and provisions were made to satisfy all the three. I hope instead of fighting like hindus n muslims we all should accept the decision and move into the future as Indians.

Sector 23, J block

Sector 23, J block. When it was made people thought it won't survive even one earth quake. Till date it has survived atleast seven. So every time an earthquake strikes, its value doubles. We bought it for 16 thousand. Today its value is 10 lakhs. Still it is considered one of the most backward areas. we've been living here for nearly two decades now. Many of my friends and students and some other people too have asked me why i stay there even now when i'm capable of moving out. I thought i'd give a logical answer of what i feel.


Here i've seen the real nature of life. I've seen the good and bad days of people around me. Struggle for existence , struggle to do something worthwhile, struggle to be something, i've seen it all. I've seen the humane nature of human beings. One person shouts for help and the entire locality comes calling. I've talked to complete strangers as if we knew each other for years. I agree the house is small, the locality is dirty, people are not too literate, but they are more human than the highly educated, sophisticated, upper middle class fellows living in big apartments, posh localities with big pockets but small hearts. Somehow most people who through their hard work create big pockets for themselves, somehow either don't appreciate the less lucky counterparts or just forget their own roots. But then all people are not same. Exceptions are there on either side.

Miracle medicine! Or ticket to heaven (may be hell) !!!

I've been thinking of doing something constructive with this powerfull medium called Blog. So i thought that let me clear some doubts from the mind of people regarding some hoax emails that have been making rounds of internet over the last few years.

Today my first writeup on this issue starts with the so called PAPAYA MIRACLE.

Dengue is a disease that has claimed thousands of lives over the past few years, specially in areas like Delhi. Last year my brother got afflicted by this dreaded disease. He had to be hospitalized and we spent some very anxious moments. Anyways during that time i came to know of a miracle cure to Dengue. According to sources two fresh leaves of papaya have to be crushed to get their juice and give it to the patient of Dengue. And the platelet count will rise dramatically. I used it on my brother, before admitting him to hospital. Well as expected, no improvement was there. Anyways later i found out that it is a chain mail that has been making rounds since 1997. Its origin is Malaysia. And there the plant was stated as PEGAGA and not PAPAYA. It seems someone tried to indianize it by making it PAPAYA instead of the little known PEGAGA. Whatever the reason is, this so called miracle medicine definitely doesn't work. It has not been proven medically. And the entire thing is a hoax.


My advice and request to all of you is that please take your near and dear ones to a doctor or a hospital if, god forbids, by chance the person gets afflicted by Dengue. Remember nature does have miracle medicines around but unless it is proven its a grave mistake to go by such chain messages.
