UNITE TO END TB

Affecting nearly one third of world population, tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major public health problems in developing countries. Asia accounts for 80% of total cases of TB worldwide. In low and middle income based countries, one in every three adults die from TB whose death rate is after HIV and ischemic heart disease and it is the most common cause of death from a single infection among the adults. TB is the first infectious disease declared by the World Health Organization as a global health emergency.

TB is transmitted by respiratory route when a patient is coughing or sneezing, and one strain of TB, Mycobacterium bovis, can be caused by drinking un-boiled milk. Risk of TB is high among population living in poverty, low socioeconomic groups, low income, immune-suppressed (including AIDS), and extreme age (old age and children) groups, certain ethnicity, migrants, and those exposed to animals (Mycobacterium bovis)

Low level of knowledge on TB can lead to complications and worse health outcomes increasing the transmission and delaying health seeking behavior, lack of adherence, resulting in multidrug resistance, treatment failure, and disease complication and death.

Tuberculosis: Myths and Facts

Myth: Tuberculosis is hereditary.

Fact: Tuberculosis is NOT hereditary. TB is an airborne disease that is spread when a person with active TB coughs, laughs, sneezes or sings, breathing out tiny infected particles into the air. The particles may then be inhaled by others nearby. TB can be contracted by anybody.

Myth: If someone with tuberculosis coughs I will automatically contact it.

Fact: TB is not easily contracted. You have to be in close contact with someone who has TB for a long time (usually many hours or days). You should be aware of the symptoms of the disease so you can seek treatment as soon as possible.

Myth: If I don’t have TB symptoms, I don’t have TB.

Fact: A person with TB disease can have any of the following symptoms: chest pain; chronic cough; night sweats; feeling tired or weak; loss of appetite; unexpected weight loss; or coughing up blood. It is also important to remember that a person with TB disease may feel perfectly healthy or show fewer symptoms. If you think you have been exposed to TB, get a TB skin test.

Myth: TB is a disease of the lower socio-economic classes

Fact: TB is an airborne disease and can be easily contracted by anyone, rich or poor. However, overcrowding, lack of ventilation, poor access to health care, malnutrition, etc., predispose poorer people to TB. Certain populations, e.g. immigrants, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive and immune-compromised patients, elderly people and homeless people, are at a greater risk. Individuals in contact with these people are also at risk.

Myth: tuberculosis happens only to smokers and it affects only the lungs.

Fact: tuberculosis can happen because of a lot of other reasons and besides lungs, also affects the brain, spinal cord, intestines, eyes, covering of the heart, bones & joints, stomach etc.

Despite these challenges, WHO is committed to continuing its work with countries and partners around the world to address these challenges and to accelerate collective action to end the TB epidemic altogether..

If you also want to contribute something in society in respect with TB awareness then Join our TB awareness campaign today.

Do Wonder but Work Harder..

At times you don't know where are you going, what are you doing, why are you living. Still it's alright. As you are fortunate enough that you are atleast thinking on it. Yet there's no logic if you are constantly wondering. While wondering in excess you are actually losing what you could have accessed.

    No matter what, what is destined to be yours will be yours. All you need to do is keep polishing yourselves. Remember even the Rome wasn't built in a day. So all you need to do is get into it,  strive for it, struggle for it and  just do it.  The day of achievement will be the day when you will experience paradise on Earth. Oh wow! Like there's no end of sorrows, similarly there's no end of happiness too. 

   All you need to know is what is right track. You need not worry about how you will find it. Start working on yourselves rather than gossiping , comparing, entertaining others. Believe in yourselves.' You are meant to be yours , not of others.

   I remember people asking me 'how to improve English? how to improve vocab? You know it's really hard for me. No matter wherever i go from colleges to organisations i only fear because of English. 'I literally don't know why people take it so hard. Yet I can understand as I have been through this phase too just few years back.  I am overcoming it and i am still improvising it. Exactly this is what life is. I just go with a small piece of advice for such people ' When a child is born , parents are not much aware how to rare a child. But as each day passes they become strong as their child becomes strong, healthier and more sound. A baby doesn't becomes an adult in a day. It requires efforts. Likewise you need to practise each day whether it's vocab, grammar or any stuff related to English .You need to work on it. Earlier it might be a boredom, but when you will actually get into it nothing will be more interesting and fascinating as English. The only obstacle I find why people do not adhere to it is ' Instead of practising , they start questioning .Please practise it. ' Learning never goes in vain'.

Holi - A Saga, Glory, or being woeful

“HOLI HAIIIIII”….. Yes!  It’s the most vibrant phrase uttered by the electrifying crowd of our country INDIA every year.  Holi is known as the festival of colours. It is celebrated with ebullience and mirth on full moon day. In spite of being a joyous festival, celebrating HOLI, hammers us to remember our demean history about Holika side by side in a commemoration of the divine love of Radha for Krishna. This festive officially occurs in spring with Holi celebrated as a Festival of love. Holi gets us close to our religion and inextricably linked with our mythology as it is essentially the celebration of various legends associated with the festival.  Though there are numerous legends describing the holi celebration, the foremost of all are Prahlad and Hiranyakashyap. Hiranyakashyap-the king of that time, full of haughtiness, wants everybody’s devotion towards him. To his great wrath, Prahlad began to worship lord Vishnu. To get rid of his son, the king asked Holika, his sister to enter into a blazing fire, with his son in her lap, as she had a boon to enter fire intact and reduced to ashes.

Additionally, Mythology also states that Holi is the celebration of death of Giantess Pootana who tried to kill infant, Krishna by feeding death-dealing milk to him.

Also, another path led to celebrate Holi, is the legend of Ogress Dhundhi who used to trouble children in the realm of Raghu, and was eventually chased away by the pranks of the children on the day of Holi. Showing their belief in the legend, children till now play pranks and catapult misemploy at the time of Holika Dahan. Celebration of these various myths associated with Holi, reassuring the people about the power of the truth, as the moral of all these legends manifests the ultimate victory of good over evil. Apart from all these parables, holi is celebrated at a time of the year when the fields are in full bloom and people are expecting a good harvest. This gives a people a good reason to rejoice, merry go round and immerse themselves in the spirit of Holi.

There are innumerable ways of memorializing holi in different states of our country. In some parts, it’s a belief that playing with colours help to promote good health as colours are said to have great impact on our body and our health. To further enhance the festive spirit of Holi celebrations we have a social sanction to get a kick with the tradition of bhang, dancing, playing with water etc.

The purpose of Holi is not to celebrate only the positive emotions but in some cases it serves as a legitimate way of expressing negative emotions might also be called for. 

Naturally this should not be used as an excuse for malicious behavior and should be done with a spirit of good humor as; Holi is after all a festival of triumph and euphoria, with the express purpose of healing society, preventing negative tendencies from overwhelming us. Another aspect of Holi is to help us break the barriers we have built around ourselves and our ego.

Also, looking at gloomy side of the festival, some loses their constraints stepping out the limit line! Though the myths are celebrated traditionally, the unexpected inhumanity by the mentally ill devils turns the jovial ambience Blue…! Keeping aside all joy, Centuries past, behind the joyful festival, there’s still a dubious situation for girls or women, “Are they sheltered?” The Question is that- Will perilous attitude last long? Will the sick mind turn optimistic??

It’s a huge question to answer, and yet contradictory!!

Painted Dome - "Rang Panchami"

28^th March, 2016

Rang Panchami,

Preparing for a celebration for children, which has its deep traditional roots isn’t an easy task when you have to abide by traditions, ensure enjoyable time for children and take care of vision as well as objectives of a social organization. Event Leaders Dr. Pooja, Miss. Stuti and Mr. Hitesh stepped up to take this responsibility and their team supported very well to make this event successful. Special acknowledgement for AnantAman members Atul, Deepanshi, Anupreet, Tanya, Sarang and Anand supported in handling various duties and behind the scenes hardwork.

Pohe served as breakfast to children.

Members making arrangements for music system and speakers.

Members and children dancing on music.

Everything was on schedule and we began with serving breakfast to children because it’s no fun to play on empty stomach. All hustle got attention as the DJ began to roll its sound tracks. It was time for fun, dance and obviously colors. As promised we stuck with our determination of Safe and Dry Holi by entirely eliminating use of water as well as bringing in only Herbal colors. Everyone rushed to grab a fist full of color and chase each other to apply color before anyone else could. Soon the colors were spread everywhere as if some fancy makeup artist took a handful job decorated pretty faces. Pink and yellow, blue and red, green and orange and many more, scattered all around.

There was a moment when eyes got stuck and thoughts began to fly high. Gazing at everyone there and wondering about hidden importance of festivals. They pack so much within that we rarely explore. Every face was so well colored that they all resembled similar. It was hard to point any difference. The differences we use to discriminate humiliate and ostracize others. Yes!! This colorful festival does carry an important message. It teaches us to look beyond colors of skin, names, castes and religions. Colors of holi certainly eliminated all difference to bring every person under nature’s dome to enjoy together.

Music was on and feet were not ready to stop for a single moment of breath. All that one could do is get in mood, get carried with vibes of this festival and put some color. Some possed for selfies while others asked for their portraits to be captured by then responsible man for photography of event, Sarang Rajderkar.

Hurdle race and Sprint race

We continued the fun with several games, Hurdle Race, Sprint Race & more. As time passed by children surely felt roars from within. Tummy was at its loudest speech asking for lunch. On their daily scheduled time without any delay children were served Roti, Sabzi, Kheer and Daal-Chawal as lunch.

Lunch being served to children

After refueling everyone was back for more fun. More dance and some more games were played with kids. Finally concluded event on a high note every one once again wished each other “Happy Holi ~ Rang Panchami”. At last group picture of all participants was necessary for souvenir of a fabulous day with children.

Group picture concluding event. 

“Colors, well they can be pleasing, attractive and enjoyable as well as repulsive, ugly, unacceptable and offensive but Blacks, Reds & Whites shouldn’t be basis for discrimination.”

OUTDOORS & HEALTH

When I was a kid, summer vacations used to be a most awaited time for me. I could go out to my nani’s place and can visit the farms (natural beauty), play in the garden with my friends until the sun went down. I kept myself quite occupied without any of today’s modern technologies.

Now, exams are about to finish and there are hundreds of television stations, video games, and interactive Web sites that will keep kids occupied for hours on end. Kids staying indoors for a long period of time have prolonged negative effects extending far beyond childhood. They start missing something that is essential for their health and development. Parents think that their child is safe and will not develop any health problems if they stay indoors all the time. The truth is that a child who spends more time indoors gets subjected to Social, Physical and Emotional problems.

There are many health benefits that make outdoor play great for children.

Ø  Control childhood obesity

The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing; Part of this huge increase is contributed to less outdoor. It's hard to get enough active play and exercise if you're always inside playing video games or watching TV. And without enough exercise, kids can become overweight.

Ø  Bone health

Vitamin D increases with outdoor exposure to the sun. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends just 10 minutes of early morning sun exposure per day for a good daily vitamin D dose. Vitamin D helps in calcium absorption, protect children from heart disease, diabetes and bone problems.

Ø  Reduce stress

Spending time outdoors has been linked with lower stress levels in children. Playing outdoor games for at least 30 minutes every day can do wonders to refresh and rejuvenate physically and mentally.

Ø  Promote creative and innovation

Outdoors, a child learns on multiple levels with each new adventure (Burdette and Whitaker, 2005). With all of the imaginary castles, lands, creatures, the brain develops at a much faster rate than for those who play indoors. There are numerous effects. Not only do they become better learners, and do well in school, but they are more fun to be around (i.e. they make more friends)

Benefits of outdoor games:

Physical development

·         Physical strength

·         Balance

·         Muscular strength

·         Hand eye coordination

·         Flexibility

·         Weight control

·         Cardiovascular endurance

Social development

·         Citizenship

·         Discipline

·         Teamwork

·         Leadership

·         Confidence boosting

·         Communication skills development

·         Feeling of freedom

·         Awareness

Few examples of outdoor games:

Tracking, Cycling, Walking, Gardening, Hide and seek, Jump rope, Ice water, Sports like cricket, football, basketball, badminton etc.

It’s good for our kids to be outside more often. As a parent, it’s our responsibility to provide varied opportunities for outdoor play, exploration and games.

#Women's day...

Celebrations are a part of our lives. And when they are tagged with some special dates they certainly become more special as they prove to be the best reminders. Birthday celebration, farewell spree, anniversary cake cutting ceremony lasts for that particular day. While the celebration of Women's day isn't just restricted to a day as it an enduring process .Because being a women isn't just a one day credit. Everyday she is worth giving credits whether she is a home worker or an employee or both. Even history proves it true. Swadeshi movement, Civil disobedience movement wouldn't have been a success without women active participation. Goddess Lakshmi showers her benisons so that we can become financially strong, goddess Saraswati is symbolized as goddess of knowledge and arts, goddess Durga provides us strength and is pure representation of women's power as she is referred as mother of universe and is believed to be  power behind the work of creation, preservation and destruction of the world. In  the Bhagwad Gita when Lord Krishna was asked where do you dwell? He answered it with extreme simplicity by saying that I reside in every women who has such characteristics. This is how much importance a woman hold in this universe. Although from a long time women are  continuously suppressed just because they are considered just a source  of  rearing child and serving  food to  their family. Yes, it is candid that women till today women  have  not got what they actually deserve. But the days are gone when  criticism was only the way of protesting. We women deserve it and we prove it not by delivering few flattering framed words   but we prove it by doing deeds. We prove it by our achievements. Be it any field- political, social, economical, sports , education , aeronautics etc.

12% of women are a part of Indian parliament in form of cabinet minister, union minister and various dignitaries. In joint committee of women empowerment out of 6o members 28 members are women which form around 50 percent. For the first time a women has been elected as minister of minority affairs. Even in terms of academics girls are far ahead than boys. There have been many contradictory reactions when government announced to give 33% of seats to women. But this decision isn't  out of pity. It's because our nation can only develop if women and man equivocally participate. No doubt if a women can take care of home then she can  be a good service women too. This is the era of startups. And nobody in this world is as creative and innovative as women. Her thoughts, her struggle, her mindset , her willingness, her confidence , her stability, her fondness, her dedication, her patience makes her stronger. The best thing even her tears are her forte. She do not want to dominate she just want her nation to progress and make a better place to live in not for her but for her family, her children and for the citizens of it's nation.

Women empowerment is one of the most discussed topics of this year. And why not?  Definitely it should  be. As it is most relevant. There are various active women such as  Pratibha patil , Sushma swaraj,  Sania mirza, Saina nehwal, Mary kom, Kalpna chawla , Arundhati bhattacharya,  Priyanka chopra and many more. But still a section of women still seems to be covert. May be there might be a number of reasons beyond this furtiveness such as family pressure, self resistance , mindset of society  etc. But it's not the time to step backward instead it's the correct time to grab opportunity and show the world your worth. In politics it is rightly said that ''If you want something said ask a man and if you want something done ask a women". On this special eve of International women's day I congratulate every women for being a daughter ,wife, sister,   mother, friend  and above all a beautiful ,sensible and logical women and every man for having such a auspicious gem in their lives as well as in this nation. Respect women. Respect yourselves.

Jai Hind.

Jai Bharat.
