Having this thought in mind this time Anant Aman Social Welfare Society taken an initiative for the same.

We asked different group of people to write letters to these BSF soldiers expressing their views about them, what they feel for them,  their unshown love and respect , that they have for them.

Majority of the person includes students and teachers from different schools and colleges. Also many other persons shared their views with us and wrote letters, poems, articles etc. for soldiers.

Dental camaign Overview -

Dr. Nidhi Vyas and I (Dr. Pooja) checked almost 200 patients in which there were many routine checkup patients, we told them about all the dental problems they were suffering from, if not cured or treated they may have to bear painful consequences later on... We diagnosed and treated almost 5 to 8 patients of disimpaction (wisdom tooth extraction). We did almost 150 patients of full oral mouth prophylaxis (scaling). We did almost 40 patients of RCT (Root Canal Treatment) and cap placement in-fact multiple bridges placement also done. We started 2 patients of denture which will be continued after camp also. We also diagnosed 2 cancer patients which will be treated by specialist.

Thanks to Anant Aman Social Welfare Society for such encouragement and help that they gave. Thanks to all team members of our Ngo Hemant sir, Atul Dwivedi, Devendra Pandey, Sarang Rajderkar, Vidit Pathak for all help and coordination.

Dental Checkup of Patients. Diagnosing the dental problems.

ADVISE to General Public..

These days people are really suffering more from dental problems and so we can say that awareness is increasing day by day.

People should not neglect their dental problems it may lead to such diseases that it’s difficult for a person to even chew food nicely.

So please don't be ignorant and get yourself into problem. In camp also and normally also we heard some myths that if u get your teeth extracted, it leads to cancer or if you go for full mouth oral prophylaxis (scaling) it would lead to loosening of teeth. Such things are absolutely wrong. So please don't be ignorant, don't believe in such myths and get yourself checked in every six months. Brush twice with proper technique. Change your toothbrush in every 3 months.... So at last I wish u all have a happy and healthy smile.

ETHICAL DILEMMA – EQUALITY OR SECULARISM?

We have read it in books, several times and wondered what actually a dilemma is like or how to get out of such situation? According to books, an Ethical Dilemma is a situation where there has to be a decision made between couple of options which may be right and justified at their ends.

Not long ago High Court of Maharashtra had an appeal from ‘Bhumata Brigade’ seeking judicial approval over lifting of all gender barriers for access to the inner sanctum where there is idol of ‘Shani or Saturn Shrine’ at Shani Shingnapur temple in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra. The temple had a 400-year tradition of not allowing women to worship at the altar. On 26^th Jan, 2016, a group 500 of protestors in buses was stopped by police near town of Supa, 70 Kms from temple.

Since temple tradition was justified on religious believes it somehow denied women an equal right of worshiping as men. That’s an Ethical Dilemma, where on one hand there stood Religious belief and on another stood Right to equality. Indian Constitution laid equal emphasis on Secularism, where religious belief of every individual is equally respected, and Equality, among all citizens of India. Opinions raised all across the country likely arguing that a tradition should not be broken as it would have calamitous effects or something bad would occur.  While others argued that it is a superstitious belief being followed for 400 year that now should be debunked. In a country where religious sentiments bind billions together can even lead them falling apart. Unrest situations and riots over religious causes have been frequently countered in India therefore a tough call was to be made by the judiciary at Maharashtra High Court.

On 1^st April High Court held that it is the women’s fundamental right to go into places of worship and the government is duty bound to protect their right. Further temple trust welcomed Court’s decision and invited Bhumata Brigade to offer prayers at inner sanctum as it opened doors for women thereon. Many people are still of an opinion that, ‘Maharashtra is facing drought because Saturn Shrine is upset over debunking of tradition’, a mere superstition, maybe. Whatever the impacts may be, this decision certainly speaks eloquently of peaceful and progressive of Indian triumph.

On latest notes, Tripti Desai led Brigade is demanding equal access to women at Haji Ali dargah. Another challenging dilemma for authorities.

" बूंद में जीवन "

किसी नल के नीचे बाल्टी रखना, खाली बाल्टी, नल को बंद करके थोड़ा सा खोल  देना, एकदम थोड़ा सा,

एक एक बून्द गिरे बाल्टी में इतना सा ही खोलना, एक एक बून्द जल्दी जल्दी बाल्टी में गिरने लगेगी,

कुछ समय के बाद बाल्टी भर जाएगी, अब थोड़ा सा ध्यान दीजिये,

बाल्टी मौत है, नल ईश्वर है , हमारा एक जन्म नल से बाल्टी तक का सफर है, हवा रस्ते की संसार है,

जितना पानी भरता जा रहा हमारे संचित कर्म है, और हम बून्द है, 

समय की रफ़्तार इतनी तेज़ है की पता नहीं चलता कब नल से छूटे और कब बाल्टी में समां गए,

बस इतना देखना है की क्या बून्द बाल्टी तक पहुंचने में ये जान पायेगी की वो बून्द नहीं बल्कि ईश्वर का अंग है,

जो ईश्वर में से निकल के ईश्वर में ही विलीन होने जा रहा है, अगर बून्द ने ये जान लिया तो फिर,

ना बाल्टी है, ना हवा है, ना सफर है, ना नल है , बस बून्द ही है ,

और अगर नहीं जान पायी, तो काल कालांतर तक ये ही चलता रहेगा |

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.”

ORGAN DONATION- THE GIFT OF A LIFETIME

Indore has now entered among the top Indian cities in organ donation. We are now ranked second (amongst cities) when a sum total is calculated for eye, skin and cadaver donations. We have now started making a green corridor and transporting the organ to other cities by air.

This news has captured everyone’s eyes last week, but there are still few myths related to this. Let’s understand the whole stuff…

What is organ donation?

Organ donation is the donation of biological tissue or an organ of the human body from a living or dead person to a living recipient in need of a transplantation. The donor of the organs plays a role of God in the life of organ transplanted person. One organ donor can save more than 8 lives in his life by donating his well function organs. 

A reality check

More than 5 lakhs of the Indians are dying every year just because of the failure of their major functioning organs anytime.

·         200,000 people die of liver disease

·         50,000 people die from heart disease

·         150,000 people await a kidney transplant but only 5,000 get one

·         1,000,000 people suffer from corneal blindness and await transplant

Law for safe organ donation

To prevent the commercial dealing in human organs a Transplantation of Human Organs (THO) Act was passed in 1994. Aim of this act is to regulate the removal, storage and transplantation of human organs for therapeutic purposes only.

Who can donate?

·         A deceased donor, after brain death or cardiac death

·         A living donor, who can give a kidney, or a portion of the liver, lung, intestine or pancreas

Which organs can be donated?

Up to 25 different organs and tissues can be donated for transplantation.

Transplant able organs include :-

·         Heart

·         Kidneys

·         Liver

·         Lungs

·         Pancreas

·         Small intestines

Transplantable tissues include

·         Blood, blood vessels

·         Eyes

·         Skin

·         Bones

·         Bone marrow

·         Cartilage

·         Connective tissues

·         Heart valves

Maximum time span between recovering organs/ tissues and transplantation

Lung                    (4-6 hours)

Heart                   (4-6 hours)

Liver                    (12 hours)

Pancreas             (12 hours)

Kidney                 (12 hours)

Skin                     (6-12 hours)

Corneas               (14 days)

Reason for low organ donation rate

Most of the people do not have proper awareness about the organ donation, which organs can be donated, when they can donate, how to get registered for the organ donation, etc. Some people do not interested in the organ donation or do not show their independent desire for organ donation because of the family pressure or their own fear and myths.

How to donate

There are two ways to donate organs:

1.   

By pledging for organ donation when a person is alive

2.   By consent of family after death

Indian Society of Organ Transplantation was initiated the Transplant Registry in India in 2005. There is a facility of online organ registry for the people all over India who are willing to donate organs on their own will. Organ registry ensures the proper organ donation as well as the fair use of donated organs in the future according to the priority of need and requirements of the organs to the recipients.  Please visit the following website for registration :-
