Life sciences and livelihoods

Image Source: Pixabay Please spend some time with yourself for the welfare of the world, Pay attention to understand the facts. Parents, teachers or guardians are busy providing education to their children. Perhaps education is a must in life and probably life science is completely neglected today due to the lack of education. Sometimes children do not understand their lessons due to lack of interest and understanding. Then as usual elders get angry and upset. They feel the situation unbearable. Elders do scold the children and punish them to get rid of their inner turmoil. And then they become calm. But they think that they are doing everything for the betterment of the little child.  The child sees and learns. He also loses his endurance. When he grows up, he also no longer bears the hassle. The child sees that the elders are annoying and scolding whenever they don’t fulfil their want. He also learns it as if it is the only way to fulfil his plans. So he behaves the same when he ...

Understanding unlocks priceless treasures

Image Source: Pixabay This was the time of Lord Buddha. He taught children how to understand each other. "God, we're talking about what happened at home," said one of the children. Swasti lost his parents at an early age. He keeps a buffalo and runs the family with it. He has a brother, Rupak and has two sisters, Bala and Bhima. With all sort of problems, he takes care of everyone like their parents. He tries his best for his little brothers and sisters so that they will not miss their lost parents. Urubela villagers are sometimes overwhelmed by this determination. Swasti said God about one night. My younger sister Bhima cried twice. Rupak became furious when the younger sister’s cry ruined his sleep. He slapped Bhima in anger. The child began to cry even more. Because the child is deprived of love and affection of their lost mother,  I suddenly woke up and hugged Bhima. I could see that her body’s temperature was high and she was suffering from severe fever. Without doin...

Can we go beyond destiny?

Image Source: Pixabay Destiny is just like a vehicle which moves towards its destination but no one can exactly predict it because no one knows about the particular incidents which may occur during the journey. Are our thoughts, emotions and actions exactly dependent on our wants? Till we don’t have the control or regulation on our thoughts, emotions and actions, we can’t go beyond the destination. We are very sensitive to what we believe. When everyone consciously does wrong things in our surroundings then without giving a second thought, we believe that incident done by everyone is normal. That is the reason with our acceptance many wrong things are going on in our society every day and every moment. To go beyond our beliefs, we need deep understanding and clarity. Our habit and thought processes are very deeply rooted and it’s very difficult to change our habits. In our life, whether we are busy or not, we don't spend time to work on ourselves for making us better human being. B...

Technology is a boon or bane

Image Source: Pixabay The technology coming up is changing our lifestyle a lot. Technology means all amenities or that is something which may like a gift or boon to us, by us and for us to save time, energy and effort. Technology like TV, Refrigerator, Washing Machine, Smart Phones, Laptop, Desk Top, Tab and many more things may give us comfort and happiness. Technologies are also entering into many places like health care, transportation, agriculture, defence, space applications, etc. it helps seems incredible. But despite all these, we do not get time to talk, sit, stand and stay with our friends. Our mind is not stable now and we are running here and there all the times. Sometimes a question may come that are we for the technology or technology is for us because many times when technology is becoming unbearable for our environment and health, without leaving our addiction we are enjoying the poison coming out of it. The big change is that we are becoming mechanical servants of techn...

Know about your eyes

Image: Pixabay How Do the Eye Normally See Colors? Our eye is one of the best sensory among other sensory organs by which we can see this beautiful world. Our eye is just like a camera. At the front of the eye, we have a lens that focuses images on the inside of the back of the eye. This area is called the retina , whereas,  in the digital camera this material is made up of a semiconductor device. 20/20 is normal visual acuity is the standard for normal visual acuity. It means that one can see the object clearly in similar to what does an average person see. But 20/40 vision means what you can see at a distance of  20 feet (6.1 m) , the average person can see that from  40 feet (12.19 m)  distance which says your vision is half good as average persons. If vision is 20/10 then you can see the object at  20 feet (6.1 m)  although the average person can see clearly at  20 feet (6.1 m)   —  thus your vision is twice good as the average person. Re...

Tips about waste of time

Image Source: Pxabay What is truly a waste of your personal time? Man cannot stay like an idol; he has to do something such as watching, moving, listening, reading, thinking etc. not in a continuous manner. Man is not a robot; he has his likes and dislikes. It may seem some of his works are useless and a waste of personal time but many times all these activity increases our productivity. So there is nothing like a waste and nothing is fully right and fully wrong, it solely depends on us how do we think and how we utilize our time to make our dream a success? We need to know whether we are going in a certain achievable direction or not? If we are investing all the time to watch films and serials on TV, then we cannot enjoy it properly. We cannot also use the internet which is a source of all resources, for all the day. Doing exercise, walking, and running are needed for health. When it is about health consciousness I feel there is no concept waste of time. We need to be more conscious a...
