THORNS CANNOT HURT FLOWERS

I was never interested in reading newspapers. It was rather an unavoidable luxury to me. I found no need to read it. My reading or knowing will not stop the terrorist attacks or accidents. And about the shouts, speeches and declarations of the politicians, less said the better, because, shouts or declarations will not bring a remedy or relief to any problem. And if they do something, it is not necessary to read a newspaper to know the effect, if it concerns me.

Yet, to buy a newspaper was unavoidable, because in my place, if a person does not buy a newspaper, he would be considered as a miser. And to tell the truth, I was interested to read and laugh at the speeches of leaders after a terrorist attack. Like a comedy item. They will invariably express shock (hollow?)and condemn it, as if such a reaction may bring a change in the attitude of the terrorists, making them think twice before taking a cruel step in future! There will not even be a single word in them which may touch the minds of the misguided ones, to awaken the frozen emotions like love and mercy and kindness in them. Cartoons of course I like, but they are rare. And sometimes, there will be articles by some cultural heroes and heroines, who happen to believe that their knowledge is beyond space and time, but such ‘beyond space and time’ language is above my reach.

Marriage

“When I got home that night as... my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?
I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her!

BUS JOURNEY

It was about 7.30 P.M. that I got into the Bus, after waiting for about 30 minutes. However, it was not the fault of the officials of the transport system. How can they take a bus in a particular direction if there is no road, but only a conglomeration of holes and pits and gutters, filled with rain water, through which a number people travel in every sort of vehicle and also walk, like participants in a mega-dance-show?

I got in the bus and it began to gather momentum.

GANESHA AND THE MOUSE

 In Hinduism, there is a God namely Ganapathi. Ganesha is also his name. There are a lot of stories about and around him. He is the son of God Siva and Goddess Parvathy. His body is human, but his head is that of an Elephant. The legend is that one day when Devi Parvathy was removing the dust particles from her body; it took the shape of a boy. Parvathy accepted him as her son, named him as Ganesha and asked him to guard the door while she took bath and not to permit anybody to enter. And when she began to take bath, God Shiva came, but Ganesha did not permit him to go inside. In his anger, Shiva chopped off the head of the boy. When Parvathy saw her son dead, she became very angry. Then Shiva fitted the head of an Elephant to the neck of Ganesha and he became alive.

DISEASES & DIS-EASES ... A Hypothesis which medical scientists shouldn't have ignored...

PREAMBLE

Diseases are Coexistent with life.  And so with mankind.

         

On the other hand, human body is the perfect machine ever known, a perfect computer and a perfect engineering system combined.  It is a matter of wonder of the highest degree when we pay attention to the fact that even twenty percent of the capacity of human brain is seldom being utilized and with its pitiably under-utilized capacity, we have reached the other planets and penetrated deep into outer space.  And such a perfect system must have self-rectifying device(s).   Also such a splendid system must have only one end; the natural decay and subsequent death.  But it is not the case.
  Apart from accidents, there are diseases!

            And it is noted that diseases are of two kinds.  Diseases like Small Pox, Cholera, and Plague etc. which are caused due to attack of bacteria or virus, generally known as GERMS.   And other types of diseases like Cancer, Diabetics, and Heart-Ailments etc. where no germs are involved.  Strictly speaking, these are only disorders.  Some ceils in the body growing or developing in an unconventional pattern, some substance interfering with the proper functioning of Pancreas or some coagulant at work in blood vessels or heart.  And these disorders remain unrectified in such a fine system as human body!   Is it not rather strange and mysterious?

PURPOSE

       

The purpose of this study is to find a possible explanation to the phenomenon of non-germ diseases and to form a verifiable hypothesis which, if found correct, may result in finding remedies to these diseases.  The tools available for this purpose are very much limited.  Only observation, information from others and logical analysis of the observed things.

OBSERVATIONS   AND ANALYSIS

       For the purpose of distinguishing, we may use the term diseases for illnesses caused by germs.    For illnesses NOT CAUSED by germs, we may use the term disorders.

         Presently, we find the following differences between diseases and disorders. 

               

         DISEASES                                                            DISORDER

   

Caused by germs                                                    Not caused by germs    

Spreads and situation becomes                          Spreads and situation becomes

grave soon                                                           grave slowly

Can be cured by destroying the germs.               Certain methods are used like removal of

                                                                         affected parts, giving insulin, injecting chemicals or cleaning 

                                                                         System or blood vessels etc. In Fact no proper cure..

Basic reason known                                           Basic reason unkown

Can be eradicated by annihilation of germs.         No such system so far

Presence of germs                                               Specific matter present is not known.

 

It can be seen from the above that the diseases and disorders are                                   

almost opposite in nature.
