Menstrual Cycle - A Feminist Lifespan Perspective !!

Do not touch pickle, Do not exercise, Do not wear white clothes etc . These are some of the statements that Indian women have heard every month when they experience the Menstrual cycle. Menstrual taboos shape many religious and social practices across the globe. Certain religious traditions consider this cycle impure and thus, the menstruating women are banned from religious rites, food preparation etc. Many religious traditions consider menstruation defile and ritually unclean.

We boldly say that we live in the 21^st century and have revolved with the time. But I don’t feel so that our thinking has revolved with the time. People still consider it a shame and insensible to discuss in public about the gender issues, social taboos and the problems and changes that women face in day to day lives.

The menstrual cycle is one of the most important biological differences between females and males. This cycle enables that a girl is all set for fertilisation and to give birth to an offspring. To get a new born baby into this world, a woman has to undergo so many changes and equally face a lot of problems. But to discuss about these problems it is considered defile. People should understand that this cycle is a part of women’s daily life. All over the world girls and young women experience the menstrual cycle. It is a natural process just as ocean flowing. But in many countries the subject is enshrouded with shame and harsh impractilities.

Girls are still considered a burden even after so much of public awareness programmes. ‘Female Foeticide’ is still practiced in many areas of the world though it is illegal. They kill girls as people still believe that girls are not capable like the boys. But my question is who are we to decide who is capable and who is not? And because of this the numbers of girls are decreasing.

 We must leave things for nature to decide. Chance combination of X and Y sperms with ova when left to nature automatically results in balancing the population of two sexes. Then, we must respect WOMAN, since only they help in bringing up of babies, and not the man.

People, especially some women have voluntarily begun to spread awareness about the importance about the menstrual cycle and are trying to break the social taboo. But such women are countable. Its effect hasn’t still spread. There are still thousands who aren’t aware about this biological process. Its time that we youngsters raise our voice against this taboo in full action and take up all steps to break the myths against the girls and their problems.

Every Action Has An Equal & Opposite Reaction

"Every Action Has An Equal & Opposite Reaction"- Newtons third law has a very big meaning when seen from the context of physics! But have you ever wondered what it is in the context of life? Many of you might have asked this question to yourself, might or might not have got any satisfactory answer! Well here is what you will get an satisfactory answer!

Every action that you do whether its a good one or a bad one will have a great deal of influence on the further actions that you do or are made to do! Your future depends on the actions that you today!
Good actions will give you good reactions and bad actions will give you bad reactions!

One of the best examples of this is the struggle to independence by Gandhiji and his fellow countrymen! Despite the use of violence by British, Gandhiji stayed with non-violence and justice was done when India earned independence on 15th August 1947! This is just one example from other numerous set of examples where actions have resulted in equal reactions!

When you respect others around you, you too will get it back!
Some people may complain that despite good things they never get back the same! Well you have to wait because time is also a factor! Sooner or later you will get what you want!

Just remember this small line- What you sow is what you'll reap! You sow a sees of a cherry tree and expect a mango tree will be equal to stupidity! In the same way if you do bad actions you won't get good actions either!
Adios! Take Care!

Integration & Differenciation in Real life

¤After we complete our 10th we get introduced to a new subject called Calculus. Which includes differentiation and integration. Everyone find it hard to understand these two words. We have that thought in our mind as to why use this and stuff. But actually they have simple meanings. Differentiation involves conversion of macro to micro, and Integration micro to macro. For example, in real life if you differentiate a house you will get a brick, if you differentiate yourself according to physics and maths you will get a Bio molecule. Same way if you integrate a brick you will get a house or a building made up of bricks. And if u integrate a cell you will get a human body. This way Differentiation and Integration can be easily understood. Also we can bring out many other examples to understand this topic.  So after you read this don't scratch your head again in understanding the basic meaning of these terms. Whenever you have a problem try to differentiate it it will get solved.  And if you have an idea that could change something,  don't stop yourself from integrating it¤

Life Style and Health!!

Parents, please note, just by adding a piece of an apple or a glass of hot milk to your child's depression you could protect them from depression, anxiety and disobedience, a new study has claimed. A team at the Telathon Institute for Child Health Research at Perth in Australia has carried out a study of more than 800 students and found that a complex breakfast is directly linked to better mental health in kids.

Globally, fitness and health draw a lot of interest. Living long and living healthy are more important than simply staying alive, gasping for breath and expecting people to wheel you around or hold your hand as you exert yourself to climb up a flight of stairs.

In today's past fast pacing life, people are leading a very unhealthy lifestyle. The increasing rate of health diseases, stress levels, lack or inadequate sleep are some of the results of this fast life, eating junk and odd eating hours.

Walking is the safest start towards exercise routine. Walking helps burn fat, boosts energy level and decreases health risks. It provides cardiovascular benefits and reducing blood sugar levels.

Watching television causes obesity, diabetes and sleeplessness. Watching television could lead to obesity because children tend to eat more when glued to the small screen. It was found that every two hours spent watching television, there is a 23% percent increase in the the risk of obesity and a 14% increase in diabetes whereas brisk walking for one hour every day can reduce obesity in 24% and diabetes by 34% percent. So no couch potatoes please!!! Also, watching television causes sleep deficit and can affect the child alertness in school!

A LITTLE ALERTNESS ABOUT GOOD HABITS ENSURES HEALTHY LIVING!

Think Twice Before You Act!

A beautiful speech by Sundar Pichai - an IIT-MIT Alumnus and Global Head Google Chrome:

The cockroach theory for self development
    
At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and  sat on a lady.

She started screaming out of fear.

With a panic stricken face and trembling voice,she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach.

Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.

The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group.

Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.

The waiter rushed forward to their rescue.

In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.

The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt.

When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.

Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach
responsible for their histrionic behavior?

If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed?

He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.

It is not the cockroach, but the inability of the ladies to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed the ladies.

I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.

It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.

More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.

Lessons learnt from the story:

I understood, I should not react in life.

I should always respond.

The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.

Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of.
A beautiful way to understand............LIFE.
Person who is HAPPY is not because Everything is RIGHT in his Life..

He is HAPPY because his Attitude towards Everything in his Life is Right..!!

Are we guilty of making ourselves ill?

Ever since man came on the surface of the earth he has been continuously engaged in search of happiness. Our ancestors lived in that age when civilization had not made such progress. They had not made many scientific inventions and discoveries. All the work done by them was manual. During the modern age ,man has made much progress. Man has improved his life in every direction. There is development in technology. We have come in contact with the outside world. In spite of all material progress, a considerable harm to humanity has been done due to the various scientific inventions and discoveries.

It is said, “Science without conscience is like an untamed brute force.” Science has made the world highly competitive. This had led to tensions and mental disorders. When asked, “Are we making guilty of making ourselves ill? “I would truly say “Yes.”  We are very much responsible for making ourselves ill, no doubt, we have worked wonders in inventions but at the same time committed blunders in morals. With so much technological advancement, we have polluted the air that we breathe in. This has led to a lot of respiratory diseases. People especially younger children now suffer from chronic diseases like asthma and bronchitis. Not only air, also the water, our surroundings , have been polluted. This has led to many chronic bacterial and viral infections. The cases of diarrhoea, typhoid and malaria have increased manifold in past few years.

Also, with advancement in technology people now prefer sitting at home, watching television and playing games for recreation. Children don’t go out for outdoor activities due to the new generation is getting fatter and obese. The junk food which is easily available in market has junked the minds of teenagers. Teens now feel happier indulging in pizzas, burgers and coke, than in healthy foodies leading to sufferings from cardiac arrest and heart strokes at very early age.

Hence, it becomes very necessary for us to take an immediate action. We should take care that we don’t pollute our environment and must indulge in outdoor activities to keep our mind fresh. Junk food should be banned and if we consume there should be limited demarcated. This makes us happy and healthy.

Why hot soup tastes better than cold soup?

We all love  to and prefer to drink hot soup instead of cold soup. We can feel that taste when it is hot and we usually expect it to drink it during cold nights, during winter season. Also hot soups are good for health. You can feel that heat pass through your body when you drink it. Also some times we may burn our toungue if its too hot.
But according to PHYSICS - this question has been answered using a topic called Surface Tension. According to this hot soup has less surface tesnion I.e hot soup doesnt just stay in one place it gets spread out all over your tongue when you drink it. Therefore it covers a large area on your tongue due to less surface tension. Thus a lot of taste buds get to act on it. But cold soup has comapritively more surface tension. So it doesnt spread over a large area and doesnt feel so tasty too.
Well Physics can explain Anything.!

Destination Life...!!

Every day we come across so many people. But as a matter of fact, the person with a cheerful, smiling face and a jovial mood is given more preference than a person with a pessimistic outlook towards life. It seems as if he is ready to face every moment, the way it comes to him. He has made his life, a blend of challenges, risks, accomplishments, dedications and commitments, he knows how to taste the true essence of life by extracting hope even where darkness rules! His conscience, his mentality never permits him to think of the past or worry about the future but to live in the present. He never loses hope and determination.

But in contrast to this, there are people who are just the opposite to them, life is burden; life means sorrow and loneliness. They have been trying hard but without any “Desire” to live. They hardly appeal to people and end up making few companies, they are the ones who wish to be sad specially when they can really have a great time having fun rather than plugging into a pool of depression.

Ideal is that person who, in spite of all strife and all obstacles rises each time he falls, then walks and then runs as before. Life may be precious and n doubt, it is. But it is a mere thing. There’s nothing to worry much about it either. Life is a queer blend f sorrow and joy. People will come, people will go,  opportunities will come and go t might take a turn or t just might not! So what? There is always a tomorrow and each tomorrow unlocks a new door in front of us. Life attains fulfilment only when you live it to its fullness and hats off those who do so. I think by now it’s clear that life’s  nothing but a blank canvas waiting eagerly for you to leave on it a colourful brush stroke.

The 21st Century Fall...

Everyday the horizon lights up gleamingly blue
Will it remain forever is never known by you.
There's joy and happiness everywhere,you see
In humans, animals, birds and tree.

In buildings, offices, restaurants everywhere
People are busy in work here and there.
But you don't know what will happen next
And it is not ours but God's behest.

We are here just to stay
For whatever we do have to pay.
The times are changing, the reason is us
Everything in life has become so ardous.

Now destruction, degradation and crimes prevail
The test of humanity we did fail.
As you walk down the streets
It's so lonely, it gives you the creeps.

Please someone clean up the city
And take on us some pity.
So that we can easily survive
And we don't have to mournfully strive.

For fresh air, buildings and food
That once in this world stood.
We have to save our nature
If we want to save our future.

For what about all the things we are to lose
That we have between life and death to choose.
Or what if you will see the last things of all
Yes, It will be the 21st century fall.

CURVES ARE AN ILLUSION

Yes! The title may surprise you at first but I’m talking about curves generally (not about that specific one you are thinking!). A curve can be understood in many different ways by different perspectives. Let us discuss these perspectives one by one:

Perspective 1. Simple Observation

A curve is a line which appears to be constantly changing in direction of progression thereby forming an enclosed or open loop which may or may not represent a shape which has some physical meaning. Anything that looks like below drawn shapes, or which doesn’t look like a straight line, or even close to it, is a curve:

Perspective 2. Mathematical Observation

A curve is a mathematical equation having two variables (say, x and y) that change their values more frequently with changing distance or time. That means the value of (dy/dx) keeps on changing, i.e., the value of y keeps on changing (y₂-y₁ = dy, for elementary distance dx) for small intervals of distance (dx). Let’s look at the example below:

In the figure above, the curve ABCDEF has different values of (dy/dx) at each of the points A, B, C, D, E and F. The quicker the values change with progressing curve, the more refined the curve will become. In case of a line, the value of (dy/dx) remains constant over the entire length of the line. (dy/dx) is nothing but the slope of the curve at a point, which comes out to be an equation of a straight line tangent to the curve and coincident to the curve at that point.

Perspective 3. My Observation

A curve is nothing but a series of end-to-end joined line segments. By looking at its smooth contour, one can’t notice the ‘straight’ nature of a curve but observing carefully, at a magnified scale, one can easily notice the straight lines which make the curve so curvy. Take a look at the magnified view of a simple arbitrary curve. Let’s take the example of an arc, for simplicity:

As you can see, a curve when magnified shows its true identity. A curve is actually made up of many line segments connected end-to-end and changing directions in the progression of the curve. This fact is very much evident from mathematical perspective as well. The differentiation of an equation of a curve gives the equation of a line, which means that a curve has line segments as its components or building blocks. So, I can say that a curve, when it’s seen from a distance, appears to be a curve, but when observed closely or magnified, is actually a sequence of line segments changing in direction. So, curves are an illusion. They never really exist. Only a tiny little point is real, which combines with other tiny little points or dots to form a line, and therefore a curve, a plane, an object, and a reality.

The Single Perspective – The Unified Theory of Reality

Life is a sequence of changes, but the changes are not abrupt; they take time. Think of it as the curve mentioned above with three different perspectives. Perspective 1 says that a curve is anything that is not straight. That means life is ever-changing;unexpectedly changing to any possible direction and never progresses with constant phase. People with this kind of perspective never believe in the immense possibilities of life. They see life as being defined by fate and destiny. Perspective 2 says that a curve is a pattern which can be predicted by knowing the points and values though it can’t be changed. That means life is all but mathematics and logic of events that happened in the past and are likely to give same results in future if the events happen in the same way. There are various techniques by which these points can be predicted, one such technique being astrology. But it all depends on what you believe. Studying closely the position of stars and relating them with the changes in one's life is what astrology and related techniques and methodologies basically do. It may not be mathematics, but the outcome certainly is logical. People with this kind of perspective believe that the changes in life can be brought in by applying some form of logic.

Perspective 3 says neither about logic and mathematics nor about fate and destiny, but it says about unification of all of them. It says that a curve is simply a sequence of straight lines. Now, if you compare it with your life, it would mean that changes in life occur after a period of constant phases. Like a straight line, you progress in life constantly for some time, and then you feel the need to change. So the change occurs, either by your own will or as you believe, by the will of your fate. After the change occurs, you walk with that change again through constant phase for some time, and then again you feel the need to change. This is what life is!Sequence of changes and constant phases is what constitutes this miraculous existence called LIFE. The ups and downs that you face one after the other throughout your life are not actually ups and downs; they are changes that occur after a certain period of constant phase. Change is the law of nature; it will come naturally even if you resist it. But the direction of progression of the curve is entirely in your hands. Only YOU can decide which direction you want to steer your life to! It’s always your choice, it always has been, and it will always be!

Whichever category of perspective you belong to or you choose now, none of them is superior to another, because they are all perspectives and they deserve to be equal!

Proportionality Constant in Real Life

Talking about  proportionality constant it simply means that if one part increases the other part also increas with repect to it I. E if 'a' is propirtional to 'b' as 'a' increases 'b' increases with it. Also if 'a' is inversely proportional to 'b' then as a increases b decreases or vice versa. Considering this concept in our lives. In school the students who are also called teachers who are loved by a teacher a lot are more likely to get good marks , and there wont be no unnecesary loss of any marks. So we can say- "like" by teacher is directly proportional to the marks u get or inversly proportional to the marks you lose. Considering some girls who are behind boys who look handsome , rich especially we can say -The no. Of girls is directly proportional to the money you have, well this is not the case everytime. Those people who study late nights its important for them to know, -Sleep is directly proportional to your health. For those chefs over there, know - The money spent for a kg of food item is inversely proportional to the rainfall. Hardwork is directly proportional to your success. Facebook is inversely proportional with time. Expectation in luv is directly proportional to hurt. Visiting a particular shop is directly proportional to a bit of discount. Fear is directly proportion to becoming a loser. This way this concept can be brought about everywhere. Go ahead do ur own equation and pin it up on your board and make sure it helps you live a successful life.

Youngs Modulus in Real Life

Young's modulus is a term that comes in physics under the topic elasticity. Young's modulus is = Stress/Strain. The words stress and strain seem kind of similar to us. Strain according to physics is defined as  change in the dimension by original length. Considering strain in real life, change in dimension happens when there is an external force similarly we too sometimes by the force of parents or teachers or friends or any other source we try to do something more than our capacity. We over pressurize ourselves to meet excessive demands. At one point of time the the object being stretched also breaks similarly even we reach a stage where we might injure ourselves or cause mechanical or mental deformation to ourselves. In physics this point is called Breaking point and that breaking point of our life can be seen as the breaking of our own health. If this change in dimension is nearer to the original dimension there is a less chance of any damage occurring, same way if we too do as much as our body can we will be healthy and fit when seen from a long term basis. So we need to do how much our capacity supports and also keep in mind the quote " Too much of something is bad".  Talking about stress, it is defined as force/area. Stress is what causes strain. Considering the area term to be building up of undone work and other problems which are affecting us in numerous ways, if the area is less then it implies there is a lot of undone work which has to be completed. If the area is more then it simply implies that we are free of work, free time for ourselves and everything has been done time to time, leaving no one unsatisfied with your work. Talking about Force, it is something inevitable, due to different expectations from different people , we face a little amount of force asking us to do this or that. Also we face force in relationships when there is too much of Strain and we cannot give tine for our loved ones or special ones. Keeping these meanings of stress and strain as a part of our life and not only physics, and considering Young's modulus to be our Health, Health = Stress/Strain. :)
