Munnar:

The hill station of Munnar is synonymous with rolling hills that are carpeted with verdant plantations of tea – a delicious beverage loved worldwide. This place is recognised for having some of the best and most beautiful tea gardens across the globe. Owing to the presence of large tea estates and big names in the field, it is regarded as a prominent hub of tea trade in the country.

Until 1790, Munnar was a densely forested region that was discovered by the Duke of Wellington. In 1870, a subordinate of Travancore's ruler granted 588 sq km of land on lease to J.D. Munro, who was a Scottish tea planter and a lawyer. A.H. Sharp planted the first sapling of tea at Parvathi, which now comes under the Sevenmallay Estate. In present times, the hill station has more than 50 tea gardens and sprawling estates. Harrison Malayalam, Michael's Tea, Brooke Bond and AVT Tea are some of the well-known tea estates in the region.

Tea in Munnar is grown on its undulating terrain, which appear as if they are covered with a bright green blanket. Sometimes, terraced plantation is also followed in order to prevent soil erosion and to facilitate irrigation. As tea has become one of the reasons behind this hill station's international fame, it is considered an important aspect of this place. Keeping this in mind, Tata Tea established a tea museum to provide an insight into the process that is involved behind every delicious sip of tea.

Below the falls there has formed a plunge pool with unusual green colored water.

Mystery Of Vrindavan Society 66B

Vrindavan is a housing society consisting of approximately more than 100 flats in Thane, Mumbai. This society has all the amenities that a house needs to be considered as a great resident. Despite this, every once in a while there are stories of a ghost that slaps people!

This story belongs to a man who lived in building 66B, He jumped from balcony and committed suicide in his flat in Vrindavan Society. Ever since then, his spirit has haunted people in the mid-night.

The ghost of this man has slapped guards who have been on duty at night. An invisible force slaps them and they cannot find anyone around. 
Residents of the building have felt presence of an un-natural force in the complex. A force that they cannot see but know that it sees them. Residents often complain that even while in their houses; they get this feeling that someone is peaking in from the window or standing out in the balcony. Some people mention hearing strange noises even in their own bedroom.

Some people feel that they are being followed while walking in the corridors but did not find anyone behind them when they turned around.  Though there are non-believers too who haven't experienced anything of this sort despite living in the society for years. 

People continue to stay here but there is always something mysteriously spooky about 66B and not many like to go near that building late at night. Why the ghost slaps people isn't clear but word on the street is that there is a spirit and it refuses to leave even after so many years.

शिशुओं के बारे में आश्चर्यजनक तथ्य

 

शिशुओं के आंसू नहीं निकलते:

 पानी के नीचे शिशु स्वाभाविक रूप से अपनी सांस रोकते हैं, और यहां तक ​​कि अपनी बाहों और पैरों के बारे में दिखाते हैं। यदि आप अपने बच्चे को तैराकी वर्ग में ले जाते हैं, तो आप इन जन्मजात प्रतिभाओं को कार्रवाई में देखेंगे।

• नवजात शिशु अदूरदर्शी होते हैं: नवजात शिशु अपने चेहरे के सामने 20 सेमी से 30 सेमी (8 से 12 इंच) तक स्पष्ट रूप से देख सकते हैं। बाकी सब कुछ प्रकाश, आकार और आंदोलन का एक धब्बा है ।

• एक कप खून: एक बच्चा शरीर में बिना किसी बैक्टीरिया के पैदा होता है और वह इस शरीर में सिर्फ एक कप खून के साथ पैदा होता है।

  

• वयस्कों की तुलना में अधिक हड्डियां: एक नवजात शिशु के शरीर में 300 हड्डियां कुहास, कुछ हड्डियों के बच्चे कार्टिलेज से बने होते हैं जो उन्हें रेंगने और चलना सीख रहे हैं, जिससे उन्हें हड्डी टूटने का खतरा कम होता है। जैसे-जैसे वे बढ़ते हैं, उन हड्डियों को मिलाकर 206 हड्डियां बनती हैं।

• क्षतिग्रस्त अंग की मरम्मत करता है: गर्भावस्था के दौरान, यदि बच्चा अंग क्षति से पीड़ित है, तो गर्भ में बच्चा क्षतिग्रस्त अंग की मरम्मत के लिए स्टेम सेल भेजता है।

  

• बच्चे सब कुछ मुंह में डालना चाहते हैं: हम सभी इस तथ्य से अवगत हैं। बच्चे सब कुछ अपने मुंह में डालना चाहते हैं। वह आपकी चाबियों को चबाने के लिए बहुत छोटा हो सकता है लेकिन इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि वह नहीं चाहता है। एक फ्रांसीसी शोध ने सुझाव दिया है कि शिशुओं को अपने मुंह में सब कुछ डालने की जन्मजात इच्छा होती है।

• शिशु गर्भ में मूंछें उगाते हैं: जब बच्चा चार महीने का होता है, तो वह एक ऐसी मूंछ बढ़ाता है, जो पूरे शरीर में फैल जाती है। इस बाल को लानुगो कहा जाता है। यह बच्चे के जन्म से पहले गिर जाता है और उनके द्वारा खाया जाता है। पचे हुए बाल इस पहले पोप का हिस्सा बन जाते हैं।

मुझे उम्मीद है कि आपको बच्चों के बारे में ये मजेदार तथ्य पढ़ने में मज़ा आया होगा।

ध्यान (MEDITATION )

 

ध्यान (MEDITATION ), आध्यात्मिक और शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य प्रथाओं के प्राचीन रूपों में से एक है। भारत में उत्पत्ति बहुत पहले से हुई थी। ध्यान का सबसे पुराना लिखित उल्लेख वेदों में 1,500 ईसा पूर्व से है। यही वह समय है जब वेदों ने इसे कागज़ पर बनाया, लेकिन यह समझना चाहिए कि वेदों को कंठस्थ किया गया था और सदियों तक मौखिक परंपरा के रूप में पारित किया गया था, इससे पहले कि वे अंततः लिखे गए।

सहस्राब्दी के मोड़ के आसपास ध्यान वास्तव में मुख्यधारा बनने लगा था - लेकिन कम ही लोग जानते हैं कि यह कला वास्तव में कितनी पुरानी और व्यापक है, और यह दुनिया के विभिन्न हिस्सों में कैसे विकसित हुई।

ध्यान की हिंदू परंपरा में गुफाओं में ध्यान करने वाले योगी, साथ ही वैदिक संस्कृति के ऋषि (ऋषि) दोनों शामिल हैं। यह पृथ्वी पर सबसे पुरानी ध्यान परंपरा है - अभी भी जीवित और संपन्न है।इसमें सैकड़ों वंशावली और तकनीक हैं।

ध्यान पर वैज्ञानिक अध्ययन का पहला संग्रह 1977 में हिमालयन इंटरनेशनल इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ योग साइंस के स्वामी राम के छात्र जेम्स फन्डर बर्क द्वारा बनाया गया था।
ध्यान सरल लगता है। लेकिन शरीर और मस्तिष्क में बने रहने के लिए यह अनुशासन लेता है।

आज की तारीख में लोग अपने पेशेवर जीवन में इतने व्यस्त हैं कि हर एक तनावपूर्ण जीवन जी रहा है। इस तनावपूर्ण जीवन में स्वस्थ रहने के लिए ध्यान बहुत महत्वपूर्ण हो गया है।

KNOW MORE ABOUT VACCINE

WHAT IS VACCINE ? WHAT IT CONTAINS ?AND HOW IT WORKS?

 

A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins. The agent stimulates the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, and to further recognize and destroy any of the microorganisms associated with that agent that it may encounter in the future.

In simple words, A vaccine is a type of medicine that trains the body’s immune system so that it can fight a disease it has not come into contact with before. Vaccines are designed to prevent disease, rather than treat a disease once you have caught it.

Vaccines contain the same germs that cause disease. (For example, measles vaccine contains measles virus, and Hib vaccine contains Hib bacteria.) But they have been either killed or weakened to the point that they don’t make you sick. Some vaccines contain only a part of the disease germ.

A vaccine stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies, exactly like it would if you were exposed to the disease. After getting vaccinated, you develop immunity to that disease, without having to get the disease first. This is what makes vaccines such powerful medicine. Unlike most medicines, which treat or cure diseases, vaccines prevent them.

VACCINE DEVELOPMENT 

Vaccines are made by taking viruses or bacteria and weakening them so that they can’t reproduce (or replicate) themselves very well or so that they can’t replicate at all. Children given vaccines are exposed to enough of the virus or bacteria to develop immunity, but not enough to make them sick. There are four ways that viruses and bacteria are weakened to make vaccines:

1. Change the virus blueprint (or genes) so that the virus replicates poorly. This is how the measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccines are made. The virus blueprint is changed by a technique called cell culture adaptation [adapting a virus to grow in specialized cells grown in the lab instead of the cells it normally grows in]. Because viruses can still, to some extent, make copies of themselves after cell culture adaptation (and therefore are still alive), they are often referred to as live, attenuated (or weakened) viruses.

2.Destroy the virus blueprint (or genes) so that the virus can’t replicate at all. This is how the “killed” polio vaccine (or polio shot) is made. Vaccine virus is made by treating polio virus with the chemical formaldehyde. This treatment permanently destroys the polio genes so that the virus can no longer replicate.

3. Use only a part of the virus or bacteria. This is how the Hib, hepatitis B, and (in part) pertussis vaccines are made. Because the viral or bacterial genes are not present in the vaccine, the viruses or bacteria can’t replicate.

4. Take the toxin that is released from the bacteria, purify it, and kill it so it can’t do any harm. Some bacteria cause disease not by replicating but by manufacturing harmful proteins called toxins. For example, bacteria like diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) all cause disease by producing toxins. To make vaccines against these bacteria, toxins are purified and killed with chemicals (such as formaldehyde). Again, because bacterial genes are not part of the vaccine, bacteria can’t replicate.

VACCINE TESTING AND APPROVAL

Vaccines are tested before they’re recommended for use

Before a vaccine is ever recommended for use, it’s tested in labs. This process can take several years. FDA uses the information from these tests to decide whether to test the vaccine with people.

During a clinical trial, a vaccine is tested on people who volunteer to get vaccinated. Clinical trials start with 20 to 100 volunteers, but eventually include thousands of volunteers. These tests take several years and answer important questions like:

• Is the vaccine safe?
• What dose (amount) works best?
• How does the immune system react to it?

Throughout the process, FDA works closely with the company producing the vaccine to evaluate the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness. All safety concerns must be addressed before FDA licenses a vaccine.

Every batch of vaccines is tested for quality and safety

Once a vaccine is approved, it continues to be tested. The company that makes the vaccine tests batches to make sure the vaccine is:

1. Potent (It works like it’s supposed to)

2. Pure (Certain ingredients used during production have been removed)

Sterile (It doesn’t have any outside germs)

FDA reviews the results of these tests and inspects the factories where the vaccine is made. This helps make sure the vaccines meet standards for both quality and safety.

Vaccines are monitored after they’re recommended to the public

Once a vaccine is licensed and recommended for use, FDA, CDC, and other federal agencies continue to monitor its safety.

Interesting Motivational Story

Hello My Dear Friends ! Today I want to tell u small motivational story.

This story belongs to a small family, husband (Rakesh) , wife (Sunita) and their only son (Neel). Neel (son) was a very brave boy.

He won many prizes in his school, he was topper in studies also. 

Rakesh (father) was a hardworker and he was always been appreciated by his superiors for his outstanding work.

Unfortunatly Rakesh lost his job because of his company's bad condition.

Now he was worried about his family expenses, loans , kid's school fee etc. He contacted his friends and somehow he managed to get a good job and shifted to another city along with his family. 

 

Rakesh and his wife together decorate their surrey in their new house.

Suddenly they notices that their son Neel is depressed sitting in a corner. His mother Sunita goes to him and asks "what happened son why are you sitting sad" son said, mother ! we suddenly shifted to another city in the middle of academic year, its already november , I am not sure if I will get admission in school here right now. I have been studying in that school for so many years that it has become a habit. I do not know whether I will be able to study properly in the new school, whether I will be able to score good marks or not. Sunita tries to convince Neel but he was not in the position to understand. When Rakesh comes to know about Neel's thinking he is very sad. He thought it is necessary to change Neel's thinking.

It was evening, Rakesh burnt coal in the stove and both Rakesh and Neel sat near the stove as was winter. After a while Rakesh said to Neel, Look son, the stove has cracked, go inside and get a new stove from the storeroom, Neel went and brought the stove.

Rakesh told Neel to put these burning coals one by one into the new stove and take care that not a single coal has fallen into the soil or else the coal will be extinguished. Neel started putting sparks one by one into the new stove. A spark from Neel's hand slipped and fell into the mud. Neel said, father this coal has been extinguished, what to do now?

Rakesh said, no matter son, you just keep watching what I do, and Rakesh picked up that coal and put the coal into the new stove, and soon the coal started burning again.

Rakesh said to Neel, son, did you just notice what I did? Did you understand anything? Neel said no Dad I don't understand.

Rakesh said, son you are also like this coal. Whether you put this coal in any stove, it will burn, this is the nature of coal. Your nature is to read well. Regardless of school, it is important to do your studies well without losing your nature. So, do not be sad to think of all these things and concentrate on your studies. We have a very good school near by and you have got admission in it.

Neel becomes happy to hear this. Neel started feeling confident that no matter what the school is, I can study well and can be topper also. After that Neel starts going to new school and they all start living happily.

So friends, I want to tell you just two things from this little story, the first is that you are also like a coal which may have fallen a stove today, but tomorrow you will definitely find a place in another stove. And the second is that, here is the stove which is changing, neither you nor your prudence, nor your power has changed. So friends, there is no need to be impatient by thinking more about this situation.

An important lesson in this story is that Rakesh did not loss his patience even during his difficult times, he himself grew patience, he taught his son to accept the changes in life and face difficulties. You too must be patient in your difficult circumstances, because being patient is the most important thing in this situation.

I hope this story can help to bring small change in your life.
