Bed & brain top health concerns for Indians


  • SEXUAL and mental health problems are major health concerns in India, says a survey report by a private medical healthcare company. For Delhi, 42 per cent of the respondents consulted doctors on sexual health related issues, 33 per cent on mental health, 17 per cent on lifestyle related health issues and 8 per cent on diet and nutrition. “ People in Delhi consult doctors for sexual issues the most, those in Mumbai reach out to them for mental ailments,” the report says.

Kajal (KaN mai) makes the eyelashes thick, long and strong. They lubricate the eyes naturally.

I used to apply Kajal regularly but discontinued it for some reason. The doctors advised me to use it

regularly since it lubricates the eyes and prevents the eyeballs from getting scratched.

I am not sure the eyeliner, mascara have similar beneficial effects. On the contrary, the lashes may

thin down when the eyeliner and mascara are washed off.

  • Wheels of Doom: Vehicle overload jams Pune roads

    DO THE math — in the last 10 years, the population of four wheelers on Pune’s roads has increased by 243 per cent and the number of two-wheelers have seen a rise of over 144 percent. Pune city’s population during the same period has increased by 24 per cent. On the other hand, the city’s road length has failed to increase even marginally. Adding to the woes are Pune’s abysmal public transport system, threadbare infrastructure and dismal traffic management.

Necessity is the mother of invention of this buff-beef! :)

It is said that a man has only feelings and no thought about a woman until he turns 35!

The average age of an Indian groom is ~ 35 now.

(Does this explain the increase in the number of divorces also?)

As rightly pointed out by you, "Man, it seems would seldom use the former in his younger days and

could not use the latter in his final days".

And it seems - as given in the news item - he is unable to use either of them now! :(

So this blood rushing and gushing EITHER to the top OR the bottom and NEVER to both at the same

time, explains WHY men appear to become putty in the hands of the women they fall in love with!

We don't have to go far and deep looking for such fellows. The world is full of them and in all ages!

The latest example in the lime light is Mr. Peter Mukarjee - blinded by his love for his wife and

taken for several rides by his pretty, vivacious and vicious Nth wife. :tsk:

 [h=3]Wish I could work with today's actresses when I was young: Big B[/h] Mumbai, Jan 2 (IANS) Superstar Amitabh Bachchan on Saturday regreted not getting to work with today's actresses when he was young. Bachchan had played a romantic role opposite late Jiah Khan in Ram Gopal Verma's "Nishabd". Asked if he wished to act opposite current actresses, he replied: "We tried it once in 'Nishabd' and it was a failure because they didn't accept the fact that a 60-year-old gets involved with an 18-year old." "I'm not going to get a leading lady from the younger generation to play my love interest, that period is over.

Two reasons why Big B need not feel bad over not getting to work with
today's bold and beautiful young women.

1. Present day actresses may be the reincarnation of the past actresses.

2. The present day actresses were yet to be born when Big B was young!
 
A good beginning at last! BUT do not yield to pressure from the peers!

 [h=3]Jean-wearing devotees barred from south India temples[/h] Hindu temples in southern India began turning away devotees wearing western clothes Friday after a court order banning jeans and shorts as "inappropriate" for spiritual worship came into effect.

  • [h=3]Men not allowed: Debate over Bengal’s women’s-only Matribhoomi Special trains[/h] It's been a month since Dipu Sharma died, after being pushed out of what has become one of the most contested train services in West Bengal — the women’s-only Matribhoomi Specials. It wasn’t the first time Matribhoomi Specials found themselves the target of male anger. It’s a Thursday evening, and there is barely place to breathe on most of the platforms at Sealdah — one of Kolkata’s two main stations, along with Howrah.

I recently had this revelation.

All the dominating boys in our colony have fancy phones and other fancy things which the children an ordinary house wife mother do not possess.

These clever children use the friction between their working parents to their advantage and reap a harvest playing on the insecure feelings and emotions of their parents and taking sides in exchange for such costly gifts!

 [h=3]It's educative for kids to have a working mother: Kajol[/h] New Delhi, Jan 1 (IANS) She reduced her film appearances out of choice when motherhood happened as she never believed in "dumping off my children and going off to work". Now my son is five years old," Kajol told IANS here. "I will be starting a film in the mid-2016, but no, I am not planning to do three films a year like Shah Rukh Khan, in any way.

On an average 2 countries visited every month

and one day out of every week spent on touring!!! :wacko:

 Inside Track: Stay home

In 2015, Narendra Modi visited 25 countries and spent 53 days traveling abroad. In 2016, it appears that PM Modi will cut down on his foreign travels and concentrate on fixing contentious issues back home. Modi is sensitive to the criticism that he is far too often out of the country, sometimes even when Parliament is in session.

[h=1]மயிலும், குயிலும்[/h]

மயில் ஆடுவதற்கென்றே பிறந்தது,
மயில் அகவினாலோ கர்ண கடூரம்!
குயில் பாடுவதற்கென்றே பிறந்தது,
குயில் விரும்பினாலும் ஆட முடியாது!

இயற்கையின் நியதியை அறிவோம்;
இயல்பினை சற்றேனும் அறிந்தோமா?
நம் வாரிசுகளாக உதித்த குழந்தைகளின்
நல்ல திறமைகளை நாம் அறிந்தோமா?

விரும்பிய ஒன்றைச் செய்யும் போது
அரும்பிடும் ஒருவரின் தனித் திறமைகள்!
விரும்பாத ஒன்றைச் செய்ய மனம்
விரும்பாது போவது இயல்பல்லவா?

நாம் விரும்பியும் நமக்குக் கிட்டாததை,
நம் குழந்தைகள் மீது திணித்துவிடுவோம்!
நல்லது செய்வதாக நினைத்து அவர்க்கு
அல்லதை மட்டுமே செய்துவருவோம்!

மதிப்பெண் குறைவாக எடுத்தவனை, நன்கு
மிதித்தால் மதிப்பெண் கூடிடுமா? அவன்
தனித் திறமை எதுவென்று கண்டு, அதை
இனித்த முறையில் வளர்க்க வேண்டாமா?

ஒவ்வொருவருள்ளும் ஒரு சிறந்த திறமை
ஒளிந்து கொண்டு இருக்கின்றதே அதை
ஓங்கி வளரச் செய்து விட்டால், வாழ்வே
ஒளி மயம் ஆகிச் சுடர் விடும் அன்றோ?

கான மயிலிடம் பாடலையும், மற்றும்
கானக் குயிலிடம் ஆடலையும் தேடாதீர்!
பசுவிடம் கனிந்த பழங்களையும், மற்றும்
பாலை, மரங்களிடமும் என்றும் தேடாதீர்!

எது எது எங்கு எங்கு உள்ளதோ – நமக்கு
அது அது அங்கு அங்குதான் கிடைக்கும்!
இதுவரை நாம் செய்த தவறுகள் போதும்;
இனிமேல் நல்ல திறமைகளை வளர்ப்போம்!

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
 விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி
