World Health Day

 






Happy World Health Day !!

World Health Day is observed every year on April 7 to draw attention to a particular health topic that affects people all over the world. It also marks the birthday of the World Health Organisation (WHO) which was founded in 1948. This year the world health body is observing its 75th anniversary. 

On this day we remember the importance of health over all other pleasures in life. I had a certain urge to write on this topic just for its present-day relevance. As each day goes by, we think about the things we want. All those holidays, extra things, interior decors and other small pleasures in life. But we fail to realise the need of a sound health to enjoy all of these pleasures.

These days  we have made things so much more complicated. We are in need of health advisors, doctors specalizing in separate organs, counsellors for better mental health. Think about it. All these jobs were done by just one body, one mind and a stable soul. Just like the government has out sourced its services, seems like we have outsourced the ability to heal by ourselves.

Health matters alot because we need to grow each day. Not just professionally but physically, mentally and emotionally. The need for energy to show this improvement and maturity is fundamental. The relation is directly proportional, the relation between health and growth. I had observed alot of these things lately. I saw that if I fell sick or got hurt, I wasn't able to follow the routine and even do what I like. 

With these observations I sign off ---- take care of your health as a first priority, let the other things follow ------

Apathy's Anchor

 A lone tree  claimed  the land,    Lost in its own silence .  It  held fast , though winds did roar,  And birds sang,  unheard .  Fixed in its gaze , The cows moved, the clouds drifted.  For how could a rock ever truly smile?  Or a desert ever truly weep? - Bharathi Senthilkumar

Book Review – Democrazy

I recently read Democrazy during a long train journey from my hometown to Chennai, and it was quite an engaging experience. The book offers a satirical take on democracy, exploring why ordinary citizens often feel they can question the system but find it difficult to bring about meaningful change. While referencing the famous phrase “for the people, by the people”, it examines how the idea sometimes appears complicated in practice, despite being outlined in one of the longest constitutions in the world. The author uses humor and sharp observation to present scenarios that oscillate between amusing and thought-provoking. The narrative describes different forms of challenges faced by citizens—such as bribery, exploitation, and bureaucratic hurdles—through a cast of fictional characters: a head of government, an ambitious family member, a veteran party member, an influential industrialist, a sincere journalist, a socially active citizen (particularly on social media), a strict school prin...

Sathuragiri experience

  Sathuragiri is a pilgrimage site located in the district of Virudhunagar in Tamilnadu. The hills are actually a part of the Western Ghats. The name is in Tamil, as 'chaturam' means square and 'giri' means mountain. Many people say the the hill is square-shaped, so that's where the name originates from. I saw that the temple built around the 2 'suyambu' lingam or the two idols that are not installed by any person but they exist on their own is in the middle of 4 different hills.  Our group consisted of 4 girls and their fathers and four other uncles. Everyone was a school friend except my father, our group’s leader and another uncle. Everyone is such an amazing person. We had great fun throughout the entire journey. They all taught me so much by talking about their life experiences and many other incidents that changed their lives. We began our trek from a madam at the foot of the hills in SriVilliputhur. Filled with adventurous paths, I had great fun a...
