# 116. Believe it or not!

Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour.

WE may not think much about losing skin if it isn’t dry or flaky or peeling from a sunburn.

But our skin is constantly renewing itself and shedding dead cells.

Explain why we need to scrub well with a mild soap to get rid of these dead cells.

Fish employ the cleaner fish aka barber fish aka grooming fish

to get rid of their dead skins as well the particles of food caught in between teeth.

I could NOT find this thread in the first page of G.D.
So I went to the second page.
It was not there either.
You can only guess my surprise when I found it right on the top of the first page
- where I had not looked - among the sticky threads!!! :faint:
 
# 117. Believe it or not!

Every day an adult body produces 300 billion new cells.

Our body needs energy not only to keep our organs up and running

but also to constantly repair and build new cells

to form the building blocks of your body itself.

Can you think of any other machine which repairs itself,

maintains itself and works on the minimum fuel given to it???

Each finger print is unique. So also the pupil of the eye and the tongue print.

Every tongue print is unique. If a person planning on committing a crime,

he can't get away with leaving a tongue print behind.

Each tongue is different and his could be unique enough to finger him as the culprit.

The infinite varieties existing in nature is mind blowing! :faint:

Hello VR Mam,to your post 1606, the dental arrangement of each jaw,for any person is unique and never has a replica ,genetic , nature ,of certain trait like forwardly placed,spacing , crowing ,etc ,can be present in, the siblings depends on the percentage of the trait.but none has the same pattern. Its one of the valuable point in forensic medicine.
 
I am amazed how God can create infinite patterns in
everything including the facial features of humans !!!
Everything is UNIQUE and everyone is UNIQUE in different ways!

My Subhashita stanza for the day:


Our body keeps renewing itself on daily basis at a cellular level,
The word around us also keeps changing and there is nothing in this world that is not subject to decay and change,
Yet we are supposed to be with the same spouse for the rest of our lives! How ironical,
We do not seem to be following the Law of Change in Marriage!!LOL

dear renukaji !
the life is changing in the world and does not mean we have to change the spouse. but the initial concept of a wife/husband in young age change as our age advance . in young age the spouse is mainly for your body needs and in old age ,they are real companians to share all needs.in young age you may thing i can live alone ,but the need of marriage will be felt in advanced age.

I was just trying to compose some modern day Shubashitas!LOL

Most Subhashitas come with some ironical situations so I thought I will try my luck at composing some.

BTW I disagree the at young age spouse is for body needs.
Spouse is for deep felt love whether young or old..they meant to share our heart and soul.

Sowbagyavathy Renuka, Greetings.



In Vellore, close to my work was a factory run by disabled persons. Quite a large factory too. They had 3 shifts running. I have seen people with all sorts of deformities travelling in different modes transport converging outside that factory with full of laughter and jokes. They believed in themselves; they hd faith in themselves. ( that factory was Swidish Red Cross manufacturing, Vellore. They manufactured parts for two wheelers. In Katpadi, nearby, there was a training centre for them too). One gentleman lived across in our street. He was blind. Total kaput. He used to walk on his own to attend shift work ( since I was a tradie, he always felt a closeness with me). He got married while in our street, had a very normal son and had him going to school when I left that village. Leave alone as a hanicap, he did not even mention about his challenge ever. He would just greet and start a conversation as if he could see me.. only he heard me and started the conversation. Everyone was as nice to him as possible by calling out and striking a conversation. He came from Trichy and lived in our village. There were a few like him working in that above said factory.

Cheers!

dear raghy !
it is true .in trichy ,the blind people are given training for lacing plastic seat in steel and wooden chairs.A blind couple trained in this are coming together and do repair work in all government establishment and their joy can not be explained in words.they laugh,sing and make jokes without any shyness like our normal persons.after having a look at them only we could realise that they are blind.
 
dear VR !
you are very clear in your views and there is nothing for Sri. Balu sir to feel differently. you have openly adviced him not to release the horrifying pic. of snakes when you are posting beautiful pic. of colourful flower variety.
 
Oh dear! you are forgetting a salient point here.
Just as a wife keeps changing imperceptibly,
her husband also keep changing imperceptibly all the time.
So the combination never can becomes stale or stagnant.
It might become a classic in due course. Got my point??? :)

In youth they share pleasure and :hug:

in old age they share ailments! :crutch:

They compliment each other.

The husband can't hear well

and the wife can't see well.

The husband can carry heavy things

the wife can't carry her own wight!

They NEED and also help each other.

I fact they NEED each other to become

one physically fit human being!

So here the mathematical equation

will be 1 + 1 = 1

1 man + 1 woman = 1 physically fit person! :)

Body needs are met by friends....casual as well serious ones, now a days.
Once physical needs have been dissociated from wedlock and
birth of children also from wedlock everything has gone ulta-pulta!!! :dizzy:

Since they can't see, they have to rely on their other abilities like touching and hearing.
If they are born blind they may not even miss their power of vision! :cool:
Their ears are so sensitive that they can become very good musicians. :sing:

I believe that even in chaos there must be some order!
I give complete freedom to everyone to post in my threads.
It will be good if the topic is the same as that of the thread
and the images posted are not grotesque or obscene.

The dreamy lover boy!

Having learned that the wedding rings were made of iron in ancient Rome and that human blood contained iron, a dreamy lover boy developed a brilliant idea! He wanted to make a ring out of the iron extracted from his own blood for his lady love!

But the idea was more romantic and dramatic than practical or possible! He would bleed himself regularly, treat the blood chemically and carefully separate its iron content.

He died of acute anemia long before he could gather enough iron to fulfill his unusual project.The poor fellow did not know that even if he had let put his entire stock of blood, he would have hardly gathered three grams of iron!

It is really so sad that he was really so mad!

Subhasitas act as teacher in formulating the sense of morality and character, which sums up the total of a person’s virtues including dispositions, behaviours, habits, likes, dislikes, capacities, traits, ideals, ideas, values, feelings, and intuitions.

Subhasitas
काममयाएवायंपुरुषइति
सायथाकामोभवतितत्क्रतुरभवति
यात्क्रतुरभवतिततकर्मकुरुते
यतकर्मकुरुतेतदअभिसमपद्यते


You are what your deep, driving desire is
As your desire is, so is your will
As your will is, so is your deed
As your deed is, so is your destiny

-B R I H A D A R A N Y A K A UPANISHAD

So, yours is more like Sudhooshitas.

The understanding of the human condition, as revealed by this verse,composed centuries ago, makes all the verbal jujitsu of Freud and Jung look like childish prattle..
 


Everyone knows that the Srimad Bhagavad Gita is a compendium which envelops
condensed essence of all the Vedas. The role of Arjuna is duty bound to
re-establish the Dharma by destruction of his foes. In fact, he is not willing to
fight while he saw his own relatives in the battle field. Bhagavad Gita chiefly
brings out the advice Lord Krishna to Arjuna. It is a comprehensive descriptive
scriptural text which debates about the principles of the self and the God,
besides obscure secrets of the universe which can be easily understood by those
with a spiritual knowledge or interest, among other issues.
