When thoguhts become alive

Sometimes it happens just as think. I had the habit of sitting at the window turning my back against it so as to get light from behind while reading. Our old wooden window had a half curtain which I would never open since I get light from the above half. Few years ago one day as usual I relaxed with the newspaper in the mid-morning, suddenly this thought came to mind that a snake could crawl up from behind. I got up from the chair holding the paper in my hand and open the window curtain slightly and looked at the ground. I was taken aback to see a snake at the base of the window. As I drew the curtain it startled and held its head (not hood) erect. I don’t know what kind of snake was that. I stood silent as I could. In a few minutes it crawled away and hid under the stones that were heaped in the garden. Since then I gave up sitting in that position. My thoughts become alive like this often. I don’t know whether it is an intuitive power to protect me or there is something wrong with my brain.

Nature in Picture

Here are some beautiful pictures of Nature--

Carless day or Cars' day?

What is the benefit of Mumbai’s roads being carless only for a day? Is it to add one more day to celebrate which we have been celebrating a day for everything every year? I wish all days were carless days. However, cars get a holiday and rest. Cars and bikes cause more accidents. Even if a person is an expert driver, accidents may occur inadvertently. Electronic machines often play tricks. The more they make the cars electronic the more we can expect their failure. Actually Mumbai city needs 4lane roads for heavy and small vehicles to go separately. But where is the space? Mumbai’s roads make a wonderful sight as vehicles always move along brushing with one another like ants. But most of the accidents occur on highways and at night when roads become empty.

What is the intention of everyone buying a car nowadays? Is it for one’s own convenience or luxury or a status symbol to brag about—mere paas gaadi hai, bungla hai, tumhare paas kya hai? Designers are at fault. New designs and technology attract youngsters. Even school children want to drive. It is a thrill for these youngsters. But their thrill will not last long. If all cars were ambassadors not many would have wanted to drive. Some things should not be made attractive. Sita Devi’s desire to get a golden deer made her life miserable. I cannot help laughing every time I see the Fiat Linea ad. The ad shows the real behavior of a dad and kid. When toys at the shop’s window fascinate kid, dad drags him from there to walk along and when the Fiat Linea at the show room fascinates dad, kid gets irritated and pulls him from there.

I had a maid long ago. She would say proudly that her truck driver man would drink country liquor daily. Surprised, I asked her why he wanted to drink. She said it was for confidence and to calm the mind while driving. I suspect the same in Nooria Haveliwala’s case whether she was drinking for confidence for not being an expert driver. Otherwise, why should she want to drink while driving? Seeing her face doesn’t seem she would do such things arrogantly. It was foolishness on her part. I feel rather pity than hatred for her. These youngsters ape such a life style ignorantly despite having enough knowledge of everything. Not being modern and adventurous is a shameful thing for them. Whom to blame when we live on the edge? Messenger of death comes disguised as beautiful vehicles.

Appendix and its Purpose

Read this article that was published in the Mumbai Mirror on January 20-2010.

Appendicitis may be related to viral infections

Can you catch appendicitis? And if you do, is it necessarily an emergency that demands immediate surgery? Yes and no, according to a new study by UT southwestern Medical Centre.
The researchers evaluated data over a 36 year period and concluded in a paper appearing in this month’s Archives of surgery that appendicitis may be caused by undermined viral infection or infections, said Edward Livingston, chief of surgery at UT Southwestern and senior author of the report.
Appendicitis is the common reason for emergency general surgery. It was first identified in 1886. Since then, doctors have presumed quick removal of the appendix was a necessity to avoid it bursting, which can be an emergency. Because removing the appendix is generally safe, it became standard practice in the early 20th century.
But this latest research studying appendicitis trends from 1970 to 2006 suggests immediate may not be necessary. Evidence from sailors at sea without access to immediate surgery and from some children’s hospitals, whose practice did call for emergency surgery, hinted that non-perforated appendicitis may resolve without surgery.
In undertaking the study, researchers screened the diagnosis for admissions for appendicitis, influenza, Rota virus and other infections. They found that seasonal variations clustering of the cases support the theory that it may be a viral disease, like the flu.
In addition, researchers uncovered some seasonal trends for appendicitis, with a slight increase in cases during the summer. They have also been able to rule out flu and other common infections as a cause. Appendicitis afflicts about one in ten people during their lifetime.
“Though appendicitis is fairly common, it still remains a frustrating mystery,” Livingston said.
“While we know removal is an effective treatment, we still don’t know the purpose of the
appendix, nor what exactly causes it to become obstructed.”

Appendix must be a valve to reduce pressure when waste pass from the small intestine to the large intestine in mass, just like the vacuum flask valve does. It can be filled with stool when having loose motions and cause infection.

Several years ago I took a relative to my family doctor for prolonged stomach pain. He presumed it appendicitis and referred for further tests. Her X-ray showed appendix was not infected. But during his treatment suddenly bleeding started from her bowels, so he thought appendix had burst and got her admitted to hospital in emergency and she had undergone a surgery unnecessarily. The medicine he had administered must have caused the bleeding. Still she suffers prolonged pain and has to take medicine daily for digestion.

Again once I had uncontrollable vomiting he confirmed it was appendicitis and waited to get me admitted to the hospital for surgery at midnight. I told him I would be all right by morning and took some medicine he had prescribed. I had no pain or any discomfort in the lower abdomen. X-ray had taken and further tests had done in the morning. My X-ray report showed appendix was not filled with barium. Since appendix was not visible in the X-ray I asked my doctor where the appendix is, to clear the doubt. At first he said, “It is in the back side, then said, it is not visible because it is infected.” How can we trust doctors who talk like that? However, I escaped surgery and further complications related to it.
