Coronavirus - A Communicable Virus

The Coronavirus is a communicable virus. The new Coronavirus spreads with a death rate of 2.5-3%. The period of incubation for this new virus is released to be 3 days to one week. Some of the major symptoms of coronavirus are said to be causing pneumonia, Cough, and fever added with breathing difficulties.

Antibiotics have not been of any use. The recovery of a patient seems to depend upon the strength of the immune system of the individuals. Scientists are working upon the cure. On 30 January, the death toll in China stood at 170. This came with more than 7,500 confirmed cases of infections.

It is suggested if you face any of the mentioned symptoms do visit a doctor and get your self tested. Practice good hygiene, get flu shots if you experience symptoms and people with a weak immune system and poor health should be dealt with extra care as they must be more prone to the virus.

Airlines all over the globe have made stoppages of their flights to China and the carries which haven’t been following the current policy have been putting up with utmost care. Individuals recently traveling around Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Tianjin, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, Nepal, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, the US, and Vietnam are advised to take up a test immediately.

We would suggest you wear a mask in public places and keep a hand sanitizer handy with you. If you happen to have any suggestions on how to tackle the deadly virus please share with through email heikrujamonline@gmail.com.

Retirement Age for central government employees

It is overwhelming to see the comments received in response to my article posted on 15^th July 2015 on the retirement age of Central Government Employees. In fact, the attention of all central government employees is on the 7th Pay commission which is going to be implemented on 1/1/2016, and the commission is expected to submit its recommendations to the government in the month of August, 2015.

When all this is happening on one side, there is an unknown sense of fear in the minds of the central government employees as some unconfirmed news seen in the websites stated that the criteria of retirement age of employees will be 33years of service or at the age of 60 years whichever is earlier which will adversely affect lakhs of employees and their families who have to repay: the housing loan installment applied with the desire of owning a house, the loan arranged for children's betterment, the money owed due to marriage expenses etc.  considering their service period up to the age of 60.

When the retirement age is suddenly reduced, the consequences appear unthinkably terrifying and fatal to Lakhs of Central Government employees and their family members. It may be mentioned here that those employees who are in the service, will know their retirement age well before and so will make their future plans accordingly. Keeping in view of the above points the CPC may submit their Report after putting a serious thought on the retirement age to avoid a serious punishment to lakhs of Central Govt. Employees and their unfortunate family members.

A Very Important Message by Miss Dulur Brahma

Important ! Please Read

A Woman at a Nightclub on a Saturday Night was taken by 5 men, who according to hospital and police reports, gang raped her before dumping her at a Bus stand in Mumbai...

Unable to remember the events of the evening, tests later confirmed the repeat rapes along with traces of 'Rohypnol' in her blood....

The drug, Rohypnol is a small sterilization pill...

The drug is now being used by rapists at parties to rape AND sterilize their victims...
All they have to do is drop it into the girl's drink. The girl can't remember a thing the next morning, of all that had taken place the night before...

Rohypnol, which dissolves in drinks just as easily, is such that the victim doesn't conceive from the rape and the rapist needn't worry about having a paternity test identifying him months later....

The Drug's affects ARE NOT TEMPORARY, they are PERMANENT....

Any female that takes it WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE. The weasels can get this drug from anyone who is in the Veterinary school or any University. It's that easy, and Rohypnol is about to break out big on campuses everywhere.

Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people how to use it. Please forward this to everyone you know, especially Girls....

Girls, be careful when you're out and don't leave your drink unattended. (Added - Buy your own drinks, ensure bottles or cans received are unopened or sealed; don't even taste someone else's drink).....

There has already been a report in Singapore of girls drink has been spiked by 'Rohypnol'......

Please make the effort to forward this to everyone you know. For guys - Please do inform all your Female friends & Relatives, remember you also have Sisters...."

A PRECIOUS MOMENT IN MY LIFE WITH SHRI GAUTAM DABIR

By the grace of Guruji - His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shanker Jee of The Art of Living, I got the opportunity to participate in a THREE DAYS VOICE CULTURE WORKSHOP conducted by the gifted Singer Shri Gautam Dabir held at AOL Centre of Royal Circle, Guwahati during 16-19 May 2013. I want to share one of the pictures taken on the closing day of the workshop. JAI GURUDEV!!!  

FIGHT BACK THE MOLESTERS AND RAPISTS WITH PEPPER SPRAYS

The morality of the majority of the Indian males is very poor and their mentality is also very dirty. So the shameful crimes against women like molesting and rape-cases are increasing day by day in India. Most of the molesting and raping cases happening in our country never come to the notice of the public. Only a few cases of molesting and raping come to everybody’s knowledge. It is high time for all citizens to give a serious thought over these shameful and heart-breaking crimes. Our sisters and daughters have to change their mindset and should never think that they are weaker than their male counterparts. 

It is my earnest suggestion to all ladies not to be nervous when she has been attacked by a male counterpart. Instead she should try to calm down and take a long deep breath and try to adopt some self defense tactics to save themselves from the heinous activities of the mean and      characterless uncivilized people.

All ladies should carry knives, chili powder, pepper spray and be prepared to use them in self-defense as and when they have been attacked. They should adopt such self-defense tactics before they call police for help to avoid getting hurt before the police arrive. Among the above, pepper spray is the most effective one. The pepper spray will help women defend themselves against any man who may harass them by making him unconscious for more than one hour.

It is worthwhile to mention here that there is a provision in the law that says a woman can attack the culprit in self-defense. A woman can raise an alarm, injure her attacker and then call for police help.

Besides, all police stations should deploy women officials so that it becomes easier for women to walk in and register a complaint as and when required. So, let us unite and fight the heinous crimes against women like molesting and rape cases.

NATURAL THERAPY FOR HEADACHE

TRY THE NATURAL THERAPY FOR HEADACHE !!

If you try The Natural Therapy for Headache, your headache will go in about 5 minutes. So please go on reading ........ and try out this breathing therapy.

We all know that our nose has a left and a right side. We use both to inhale and exhale. Actually they are different. You'll be able to feel the difference. The right side represents the sun. The left side represents the moon.

During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe. In about 5 minutes, your headache will go. If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose. After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed.

Right side belongs to 'hot', so it gets heated up easily. Left side belongs to 'cold'. Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get "cooled off" faster. Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up. Do you notice, the moment you awake, which side breathes better? Left or right? If left is better, you will feel tired. So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing. You will feel refreshed quickly.

Do you suffer from continual headaches? Try out this breathing therapy. Close your right nose and breathe through your left nose. Your headaches will be gone. Continue the exercise for one month.

Why not give it a try..... a natural therapy without medication.

Chaos in the Parliament

It is painful to see how our so called Members of Parliament behave in the last Moonsoon session of the Parliament. I very strongly feel that it is high time to think over twice before choosing our representatives of the house by exercising our precious voting rights. It seems that some of our existing Members are acting in a quite immature and childish manner.  

If it is not possible to do so, I would suggest to impart some training to the respected members how to behave in the parliament as well as how to debate in the house.

I also would earnestly appeal to our houn'ble members to avoid conflicts and concentrate in solutions of the enormous problems our country is facing at present instead of wasting time and money by creating chaos during parliament sessions and they should remember that they are not representing the people of our country to create nuisance in the house during parliament sessions.

THE LOKPAL BILL AND SINGAPORE

The LOKPAL BILL was implemented in Singapore in 1982. 142 Corrupt Ministers and Officers were arrested in one single day. Today, Singapore has only 1% poor people and no taxes are paid by the people to the government. The Literacy Rate of Singapore is 92%. It has better Medical Facilities. The prices of all items including the essential commodities are cheaper. 90% money is white in Singapore and there is only 1% unemployment, in other words unemployment problem does not exist there. There may be a drastic change in India if Lokpal Bill is introduced successfully.  

“THE ANTI-CORRUPTION CAMPAGIN IN INDIA”

A faint idea I just had about the Anti-Corruption campaign raised by “Gandhian Anna Hazare-jee” and “Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev-jee” was - they are fighting against the rampant social malady called “Bhastrachar” or corruption, which is prevailing at every level of the society, from the lowest to the highest level and everywhere in each and every corner of “Mera Bharat Mahan”. I don’t know where the Constitution says that politicians and “Babus” should indulge in corrupt practices. But, corruption becomes the order of the day in this “Mahan Desh” where any “Do-Numberi” activities are openly carried out with a strong self-centered philosophy of “Paisa Ke Liye Kush Bhee Karega, Kyunki Money Hein to Honey Hein” type. We always talks about eradication of this evil practice of corruption, but in reality, it is a hard nut to crack and may take many many “Yugs” or generations to achieve it.

Maximum of our “National Netas” are like candy-floss - a little sugar, lots of gloss, but no substance at all. I want to throw all the “Ma-Bahen Wali Gaalies” to them, as well as, to those shameless looters who are busy with indulging in scams, scandals, receiving kick-backs, concealing the black money earned by siphoning the coffers earmarked for the so called “Vikash Yojanas” and a lot of huge funds sanctioned for various schemes in the name of the never benefited beneficiaries. Everybody knows that almost all these “Yummy-Yummy” bucks always go directly to the pockets of the famous “National-Looters” and never reach the hands of the grass root level stakeholders. Any “Gaallies”, any kind of protests may not make much sense to these corrupted looters and even may be of no use, because they are accustomed to lend a deaf ear to such “Gaallies” or protests. They are very intelligent too and have the master brain to dilute issues like the Anti-Corruption campaign raised by honest people like Anna Hazare by hook or by crook.
 

I honestly salute from the bottom of my heart to Anna Hazare-ji who have given a huge push to the march against corruption. The proposed “Lokpal Bill” is the second giant step just after the powerful Right to Information Act, 2005 which paved the way to fight this evil practice of corruption. If the “Lokpal Bill” is passed, the entire government machinery will be brought under it, so that the “Aam Aadmis” can be protected from the evil hands of corruption. Scandals like the Adarsh, 2G and CWG scams have been exposed to the public with the help of the Right to Information Act. But any appropriate action has not been taken against those guilty fellows who involved in the scam or scandal. Even they haven't been sent to jail. Hence, to tackle such type of irregularities, an effective “Lokpal Bill” is seriously needed in this “Land of Scams and Scandals” immediately.

Now, our leaders might play their natural games very intelligently and trying to make the proposed “Lokpal Bill” almost as in-effective as other existing anti-corruption bodies. So, it is my earnest prayer to the “Almighty Bhagavan” to give Anna Hazare-ji enough strength to hit a huge six again in this match of Anti-Corruption Campaign and succeed in pursuing "Bharat Sarkar" to pass an effective “Lokpal Bill” in order to save the common people from the evil hands of corruption and keep his fighting spirit alive forever.

Also please give some miraculous supernatural “Shakti” or power to Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev-ji so that he can save the break point of his game and continue his “Anti-Corruption War” on his own style. We are fed up of these repeated stories of scams and scandals and we are all set to support any move to book the corrupted National Looters. So, “Lage Raho Anna-jee, Lage Raho Ramdev-ji, Hum Aap Ke Saath Hein” – let us make India a corruption free country and the real “Sareh Jahan Se Asha, Hindustan Humara”. 


See you next week. Take care. Have a nice break.

Witch Hunting in Assam - A Matter of Public Concern

Four women have been hacked to death in Kokrajhar district in between  15-18 April 2011 and all the deaths are the result of the blind superstitious practice of witch hunting. Purni Basumatari, 57, and Modani Basumatari, 55, were beaten to death in Belguri Guwabari village on April 15, and Bifula Narzary, 49, was killed in Bosabeel village the next day. Another woman was killed in Samthaibari village on Sunday. Earlier on January 1, a couple - Sarat Bindo Hazowary, 65, and Tapashree Hazowary, 52, were killed in Habrubeel village.

The practice of witch-hunting is an extreme form of violence against women. Suitable measures should be adopted to eliminate the practice of witch-hunting by prosecuting and punishing the perpetrators. Presently there is no law in Assam to deal with the rampant practice of witch hunting. 

“Witch Hunting” is a matter of public concern that requires urgent attention and to prosecute and punish those involved in the gruesome practice. It is also essentially required to create awareness among the masses to eradicate this evil practice and to adopt a policy on eradication of the practice at an urgent measure.

Give A Chance To The Earth - The Only Planet We Have

Today is 5th of June 2011. The “World Environment Day” is celebrating throughout the world. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972. It is a people's event with colorful activities like street rallies, green concerts, essay writing and poster competitions in schools, tree planting as well as re-cycling waste products and clean-up campaigns.

The biggest challenge of the 21st century is “The Global Warming.” We can’t ignore it and remain silent any more. The Earth is the only planet we have. It needs us. So let us unite together and save this unique planet. It is now or never; else it will be too late. Anybody can do so many things to save the Earth from any corner of the globe. Instead of plastics we can start using eco-friendly shopping bags, eco-friendly light bulbs etc. We can start planting trees in our areas. Plants are always at our service and it plays a key role in our battle against climate change, releasing oxygen into the atmosphere while absorbing carbon dioxide.

Celebration of “World Environment Day” on a particular day only is not enough to protect the fast deteriorating human environment. If we want to save this unique planet, we need to change our attitudes towards environmental issues. We have to bring awareness to the people about the environmental issues; empower them to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development and promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues; and advocate partnership, which will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future.

I have started using eco-friendly shopping bags instead of plastic bags and also started planting trees in my area. So, when you are starting? If you have any comments, please email me heikrujamonline@gmail.com or please visit my blog www.heikrujam.blogspot.com and post your comments.

Lifting of the Protected Area Permit from Manipur

After all the Government of India has lifted the Protected Area Permit for foreigners visiting the three States of India - Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland, thereby excluding the aforesaid three States from the Protected Area Regime notified under the Foreigners (Protected Areas) Order, 1958, for a period of one year beginning January 1, 2011.

Thanks to the Government of India for lifting the Protected Area Permit in the aforesaid three North Eastern States of India. However, the irony of the decision of the Government of India is that – “The Foreign Nationals entering the three North Eastern States of India - Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland would still be required to register themselves with the foreigners’ registration officer (FRO) of the district they visit, within 24 hours of their arrival”.

Wow! what an excellent idea of alienating the people of the North Eastern Region from the mainstream of the Indian Union … ? Wow … heads off to you India, My Mother Country, You are great! I hope you will keep it up for creating wider and wider gaps between the States of the Indian Union. Please come all the helpless citizens of India and let’s cry with all our mights … “Mera Bharat Mahan”.

Hypertension - The Demon With Five Arrows

Today is 17 May and we are celebrating “The World Hypertension Day” worldwide. High Blood Pressure or Hypertension is one of the major causes of death and disability in the world today. According to Cardiologist, it is a medical condition in which the blood pressure is abnormally high either in the arteries or in the veins. High Blood Pressure or Hypertension is like a demon with five arrows as it attacks the most important five organs of our body – the heart, the kidney, the brain, the eyes and the blood vessels. If it is not treated properly, it can cause heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, blindness etc. It can not be cured but can be kept under control. As I am not a cardiologist, the only thing I can do for my readers is to remind that timely detection, treatment and controlling of hypertension or High Blood Pressure are the only means to fight this demon with five arrows.

Basic Course of the Art of Living – A Turning Point of My Life

Long back, one of my office staff in Guwahati, Shri Suman Kumar Hazarika, time and again tried in vain to let me join the Art of Living Basic Course. During September 2009, my office arranged an introduction session to the Art of Living for the entire staff members in the office guest house. My mind was somewhat attracted to the course, but this time also I failed to join the course. I joined the Art of Living Basic Course only on 22/10/2009 at its Vyakti Vikas Kendra (Personality Development Centre) at Beltola in Guwahati. After joining the basic course, I have realized what a great thing I have been missing for so many years in my life and I strongly repented that why I have not joined the course earlier. For me, it was a wonderful experience and a turning point of my life as the course has changed my life totally. After joining the course I have got the strength to give up all my bad habits of smoking, drinking and chewing ‘Jarda Pan’. Before joining the course, I have never thought about the importance of breathing in our life. I enjoyed Pranayama – the Breathing Exercise very much. After regular practice of Vastrika and Sudarshan Kriya, I can feel that my body and soul are purifying day by day. I can’t find any word to express the powers and benefits of Meditation, I can just feel it and experience it. I have learnt from the course that if we want to be a complete and successful person in life, we always have to perform three things in our daily life - Sadhana, Seva and Satsangha. Sadhana is to practice regular exercises to develop our physical, mental and spiritual aspects. Seva is to render service to the humanity and the society in particular. Satsangha is to attend group prayers in the form of Bhajans and group discussions etc.

During 2010, I have attended the Four Days’ Advance Course of the Art of Living at its Guwahati Ashram at Puja Ghat located on the river bank of the mighty Brahmaputra in a very neat and clean environment. The Ashram has a large Yoga Hall, separate dormitory system Rest Houses for male and female with all modern basic amenities. The most exciting and challenging experience of the advance course was to Remain Silent - “Mon Mein Rehna” for consecutive four days. The course was mainly focused on Yoga, meditation, group activities of Social Service and Satsang. I enjoyed every moment of the advance course in the Ashram. “JAI GURUDEV!”

"Breath Is Life"

The act of breathing of air is absolutely required for continued existence of our life. To breathe is to live, and without breath there is no life. From the first faint breath of the infant to the last gasp of the dying man, it is one long story of continued breathing. Life is a series of breaths.

Breathing may be considered as the most important of all of the functions of the body. All other functions depend upon it. Man may exist some time without eating; a shorter time without drinking; but without breathing his existence may be measured by a few minutes.

The correct habits of breathing are essentially required for continued vitality and freedom from diseases. An intelligent control of our breathing power will lengthen our life span by giving us increased vitality and powers of resistance, and, on the other hand, unintelligent and careless breathing will tend to shorten our days. The percentage of civilized men who breathe correctly is quite small, and the result is shown in contracted chests and stooping shoulders, and the terrible increase in diseases of the respiratory organs.

Man's mental power, happiness, self-control, clear-sightedness, morals, and even his spiritual growth may be increased by breathing correctly.

By practicing 'Pranayama', we can attain control of our body, and can send to any organ or part of our body an increased flow of vital force or "prana," thereby strengthening and invigorating the part or organ. The rhythmical breathing will bring us into harmonious vibration with nature, and activate our latent powers. Controlled breathing not only cures many diseases in us, but also practically do away with fear and worry.

LEAKAGE OF AIEEE QUESTION PAPERS IN UTTAR PRADESH

About 12 lakh students across the country are trying their luck in the prestigious exam of All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) on 1 May 2011 to gain admissions into National Institutes of Technology and other engineering colleges in the country. It is very disappointing to hear that Question papers of the AIEEE were leaked in Uttar Pradesh forcing the CBSE to postpone the two exams which were scheduled to begin at 9:30 AM and 2:00 PM on 1 May 2011.

If the leakage is not brought to the notice of the concerned authorities well in time, it might have done a serious injustice to the students from other parts of the country. Students and their parents from other States must oppose repetition of such type of illegal practice in future tooth and nail as there are well organized rackets in operation in northern States for leaking question papers for all competitive examinations.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DREAM AND A GOAL

A dream may come true. A goal also may come true. But what is the difference between the two? If there is any idea, please visit http://heikrujam.blogspot.com and offer your valuable comments.

In my opinion, dreams are not specific, un-measurable, unattainable, irrational and has not a time frame tied to it. As an illustration, I will use a dream someone might have regarding purchase of a car. Why it is not a goal? Because he is not specific about the make, the exact price of the car and there is no time frame to purchase the car.

On the other hand, goals are specific, measurable, attainable, rational and time bound. We must not mix a goal with vague terms like “some” or “a little bit”, or “more”. If someone wants to purchase a Honda City Car costing Rs.7.00 lakh this month, he should be exact and specify that exact amount and make. 

Goals are always measurable. It can be defined in terms of height, weight, rupees, inches, or hours. A goal without a measurable outcome is just a pipe-dream. One can’t achieve a kilogram of “happiness” or 10 inches of “self-esteem”, but one can get a new flat or run one km in 5 minutes.

Goal must also be attainable. The ways we can make them come true can be figured out. We have to develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them.

Reachable goals must be rational. It can be seen, heard, smell or touched. We have to go for things we will enjoy and that we can clearly visualize. The brain has hard time going for “financial security”, but it can visualize a bank statement with nice, large numbers on it.

A goal should be grounded within a time frame. With no time frame tied to it there's no sense of urgency. If you want to lose 10 kg when do you want to lose it by? "Someday" won't work. But if you anchor it within a time frame, by 31 July 2011, then you've set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal.

Helicopter Crash in Tawang District of Arunachal Pradesh for the second time - A Matter of Serious Concern

Seventeen people, including two children, have been killed in the second helicopter crash in Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh in North East India. The 16-year-old Mi-17 helicopter belonging to Pawan Hans company, carrying 18 passengers and five crew members, was approaching Tawang district when it caught fire and plunged into a gorge on 19 April 2011.

Though it is a matter of serious concern, the cause of the crash was unclear. The crash might have been caused due to serious technical snags, as is evident from the incident occurred during August 2010, wherein a crew member of a Mi-72 fell out of the helicopter while trying to close a door which had opened during flight.

Again on 21 April 2011, another Helicopter of Indian Army crashed after taking off from Sewak Road Base in Siliguri of West Bengal killing four military personnel. During November 2010 also, an air force helicopter crashed minutes after take off, killing all the 12 passengers on board.
