LOVELY LESSON FOR LOVELY LIFE

A Student asked the Teacher- What is Love?

The teacher said: in order to answer your question, go to the

paddy field and choose the biggest paddy and come back.

But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot

turn back to pick.

The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big

paddy, but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later. Then

he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger

one waiting for him.

Later, when he finished more than half of the paddy field, he start

to realize that the paddy is not as big as the previous one he saw,

he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he

ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, this is love... you keep looking for a better

one, but when later you realize, you have already miss the person

The student asked: What is marriage then? The teacher said: In

order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the

biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through

them only once and cannot turn back to pick.

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to

repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field,

he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfied, and came

back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, this time you bring back a corn.... you look

for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the

best one you get.... this is marriage

Be courteous to all , but intimate with few , and let those few be

well tried before you give them your confidence

Crushing Tablets For Easy Swallowing

Crushing Tablets For Easy Swallowing

NEW DELHI: Crushing tablets can make them easier to swallow but it can
have a serious, even potentially fatal, effect on your health.
According to experts, over 80% of people have a habit of crushing tablets to
help patients, especially children and the elderly, take their medicines.

However, doctors say the trend is alarming and dangerous. Not only does
crushing pills alter the effect of the drug, it can also affect the way the drug
is released or absorbed, possibly causing serious side effects.

Several pills have special protective coating that ensures the drug does not
touch the inner walls of the stomach but directly passes into the intestine
after being swallowed. Crushing these pills heightens chances of gastric
injury leading to bleeding from the intestine.

Experts also warn that some medicines, including the anti-diabetic drug
Metformin, are meant for sustained release, spread over 24 hours. Crushing
them would result in limiting their long-lasting action, putting the patient at
risk.

Drug expert Dr C M Gulati said, "A tablet isn't just made of the drug. It
contains both binding agents and other chemicals. The drug is also not
uniformly spread across the tablet. Therefore a patient would rarely know
whether both halves have equal amount of the drug."

Dr Gulati said most patients who crush the tablet mix it with juice or milk.
This could result in interaction between the drug and liquid. Drugs that aren't
scored (lined from the centre), should not be crushed under any
circumstance, he said, and added, "It's a misconception that breaking a tablet
into two lowers its strength."

It is estimated that 60% of older people have trouble swallowing pills. As a
result, some of them, or their care-givers, crush the pills. That's why an
estimated 75 million prescriptions a year are associated with adverse drug
reactions.

2. US-bound grads' wait gets shorter: The Times of India

New Delhi, Nov 09: The recent move by US universities to accept the three-year
bachelor’s degrees for admission to their graduate schools comes as a breather for
thousands of foreign aspirants in India.

For those having 15 years of formal education and aspiring to grab the much-coveted seat
in one of the US varsities in forthcoming session beginning in August-October, it’s time
to pull up socks to meet the deadline in December. However, there are few universities in
which you can still apply till February.

The Council of Graduate Schools (CGS), professional body of colleges stated in a report
that there is greater acceptance of three-year undergraduate degrees from many countries
in the world including India. "The non-acceptance of three-year degree programs for
admission to graduate schools was a major hurdle for Indian students attending three-year
degree colleges in India. The latest report from CGS encourages a good number of
college students in India to consider US higher education," said Vijaya Khandavilli,
country co-ordinator, educational advising services, US Educational Foundation in India
(USEFI).
She added: ‘‘USEFI advisers have been told by the faculty and deans of graduate schools
in the US that Indian students with only three years of college experience did as well as
the US students with four years of college study. This may also have been one of the
reasons for the changed stance.’’ So far, for getting into a graduate school in US, one
needed 16 years of formal education (12 plus 4), which meant that Indian students were
required to study for another year after their graduation before they could sit for GRE or
GMAT for entry into US universities.

And many took admissions either in courses which had no fruitful bearings in their career
or had invested a good sum of money in any unrecognised private university just for a
degree or diploma to meet the requirement of 16 years.

"Graduates aspiring to go abroad will have an easier life as this recent change in the
admission policy will facilitate them to achieve their dreams faster," felt S K Tandon, pro
vice-chancellor, Delhi University. "This is a welcome move, but should have been
implemented a year back as I already invested a few thousands in Amity University for a
diploma in mass communication to complete 16 years of education," said Jyoti, aspiring
to pursue English in California University

Pass the butter~ ~ ~ ~This is interesting.

Pass the butter~ ~ ~ ~This is interesting.
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow
coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some
clever new flavorings
.
DO YOU KNOW...the difference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end...gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter,
according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years
And now, for Margarine..
Very high in trans fatty acids.
Triple risk of coronary heart disease.
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good
cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC...
This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will find couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it Even those weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic.

SLOW DANCE

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.

It was sent by a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM.

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.

Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last.

Do you run through each day On the fly?

When you ask How are you? Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done Do you lie in your bed

With the next hundred chores Running through your head?

You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last.

Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste,Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say,"Hi"

You'd better slow down.Don't dance so fast.Time is short.The music won't last .

When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,It is like an unopened gift....Thrown away.

Life is not a race.Do take it slower Hear the music Before the song is over.

PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know -even to those you don't know!
It is the request of a special girl who will soon leave this world due to cancer.
This young girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish,She wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will.
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.

There are hundreds like the above girl dying due to Cancer in India. We need your help to save them. A little help can go a long way.

God created the donkey
And said to him.
"You will be a donkey. You will work un-tiringly from sunrise to sunset
carrying burdens on your back. You will eat grass,
You will have no intelligence and you will live 50 years."
The donkey answered:
"I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is much. Give me only 20 years"
God granted his wish.
...........................................
God created the dog and said to him.
"You will guard the house of man. You will be his best friend. You will eat
the scraps that he gives you and you will live 30 years. You will be a dog.
The dog answered:
"Sir, to live 30 years is to much, give me only 15 years."
God granted his wish.
...........................................
God created the monkey and said to him.
"You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks.
You will be amusing and you will live 20 years."
The monkey answered:
"To live 20 years is too mush, give me only 10 years."
God granted his wish.
...........................................
Finally God created man and said to him.
"You will be man, the only rational creature on the face of the earth. You
will use your intelligence to become master over all the animals. You will
dominate the world and you will live 20 years."
Man responded:
"Sir, I will be a man but to live 20 years is very little, give me the 30
years that the donkey refused, the 15 years that the dog did not want and
the 10 years the monkey refused."
God granted man's wish. That is life
