Godmen

Whenever I read about the scams about "Gurus", I am surprised by the fact that why do so many people blindly worship them when there are so many real Gods around us. Yes, it is true, I have seen the GODS around us in current world who never said they are gods. Let me quote some examples:

In the year 1976, Dr. K Venkataswamy a retired doctor from the Government Medical College, Madhurai spent all his savings and built a 11 bed hospital with the help of his family members. He never got married, he raised all his family members, he is the only doctor from his village, he suffers from rheumatoid arthritis (that forced him to retire from Army), he was practically bedridden for sometime and with great will power he was able to hold the surgeon's scalpel and joined Government service as eye surgeon. Post his retirement, he started Aravind Eye Care with only one mission, Eradicate needless blindness, restore to these people the precious gift of sight, and provide compassionate and high quality eye care for all”.

Aravind Eye Hospital treats the maximum number of free patients in the country or probably all over the world. All the employees of Aravind Eye Hospital including the doctors, paramedics share the same service attitude towards any patient - paid or free. In my opinion, Dr. V is God in human form.
If you want to be a devotee, if you want to reach heaven after death, if you want solutions for your depressing life, if you want short cuts to your problems, if you want peace of mind, if you want to live for a purpose then reach out to people like Dr. V.

How much black money overseas?

The Hindu reported yesterday that our Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh will ensure the return of black money deposited in foreign banks. Click here to read the news. The news says, "While no official data is available on the quantum of slush funds, it is estimated that such black money stashed away by Indian nationals in tax havens overseas could be worth nearly $140 billion."

That amounts to approximately 10% of our GDP.

Fat Wallet Syndrome

Achtung to all those with a fat wallet in their back pocket !

Did you guys know that if you are really lazy to clean up your wallet and grows fat, you still keep it in your back pocket, it could potentially cause "Piriformis Syndome" aka "Fat Wallet Syndrome".

So, whats up with that syndrome? This syndrome puts pressure on "Sciatic Nerve" that descends down from lower thigh to the leg. When you keep your wallet in the back pocket, you are putting pressure on this nerve and this can cause lot of problems such as "Pain in the buttocks" or numbness, not able to stand for long time etc.

Dear fells, hence take care not to keep fat wallets in the back pocket.
