Happy women's day

मुझे अपने आस पास के सभी महिला मित्रों को हैप्पी वोमेन्स डे कहना है । लेकिन मुझे आप सबों से ईर्ष्या भी होती रहती है समय समय पर लेकिन उससे ज्यादा सहानुभूति भी रखता हूं (शायद नहीं रखनी चाहिए).
कैसा लगता होगा जब हम देर शाम हम लड़के घूमते रहते है और आपको घर जल्दी जाना होता है, कैसा लगता होगा जब हम लड़के बस/ट्रेन में नींद आते ही पसर जाते है और आप नींद आते हुए भी न सो सके ,कैसा लगता होगा जब कोई छुए तो आपके  मन मे कई भावनाये आती होंगी. कैसा लगता होगा जब भाई को कही जाने की परमिशन मिल जाती होगी और आपको घंटो मिन्नतें करनी पड़ती होगी। अब pseudo-intellectual वाली बातें खत्म करता हूं क्योंकि कुछ जानने वाले इसको फ़िल्मी बातों से जोड़ के मुझ पर ठिठोली करेंगे। वैसे मेट्रो और बस में रिजर्व्ड सीट का समर्थन मैं भी नहीं करता 😂.

सच्चा मुसलमान कौन ?

‘ये हैं मेरे देश के सच्चे मुसलमान. एक सच्चे भारतीय.’

फ़िल्मों और हम लोगों को अब इस वाली लाइन से उठ जाना चाहिए. जहां हम किसी दाढ़ी वाले आतंकवादी या अनैतिक हरकत करने वाले मुसलमान के सामने फ़िल्मी सीन में किसी मुस्लिम शहीद का नाम लेते हैं या फिर सरफ़रोश फ़िल्म के इन्स्पेक्टर सलीम को पेश करते हुए सच्चा मुसलमान, सच्चा भारतीय बताते हैं. कलाम, अब्दुल हमीद और मौलाना आज़ाद. यानी देश की प्रकट सेवा करने वाला ही सच्चा मुसलमान ना माना जाए. BHU में संस्कृत के मुस्लिम प्रोफ़ेसर का विरोध कर रहे स्टूडेंट्स की मुस्कुराकर सेवा कर रहे चाँद मोहम्मद को भी उतना ही भारतीय माना जाए. देश की सेवा सिर्फ़ देश से जुड़ी बातें करके नहीं होती हैं. बहुत कुछ और है जो नागरिक बताने के लिए काफ़ी हैं. एक हिंदू की ही तरह मुसलमान का जान देना, पुलिस या किसी दूसरी फ़ील्ड में देश की प्रकट तौर पर सेवा करना या इरादतन दिखाना ज़रूरी नहीं है.

ख़ैर. जिस देश में एक क़ौम को नागरिक ही ना माना जा रहा हो, वहाँ इस बात को करने का क्या ही मतलब. जय हिंद.

Eye problems and injuries in Adolescents

Every year more than one million people get eye injuries, out of which ninety
 percent are preventable if safety eyewear is used. One hundred and twenty five
 thousand eye injury cases are caused by household products. It is a good habit

 to wash hands regularly, especially after handling household chemicals. When using detergents and hazardous solvents, the handler must wear chemical safety goggles. Also, no children must be around while handling chemicals. While spraying, the nozzle must be turned away from the face. Fertilizers, pesticides and paints must be stored away from reach. While doing household activities proper protective gears such as goggles, gloves, boots and helmet should be worn, if required. The house must be illuminated adequately to avoid accidents in the dark. Stairs should also be illuminated and the rails must also be installed. The instructions for opening the tops of bottles must be read carefully to avoid them from popping and injuring other people. Children and adolescents should read instructions before handling operating equipment before playing games. All power equipment must be installed with guards. While playing outside, the eyes must be protected by UV protective goggles and it is a bad idea to look at the sun directly. Precautions should not only be taken indoors, but outdoors too. This is because; more than forty thousand people get eye injuries outdoors. Ninety nine percent of the injuries are caused while playing sports. So it is necessary for the youngsters to wear protective eyewear while playing sports or when involved in outdoor recreational activities. A special helmet is designed with wire shield or polycarbonate face mask which is not only safe, but comfortable, too. Protective eyewear should also be worn while performing experiments in science lab. Fireworks must only be handled by adults. Because of increasing use of computers, more and more youngsters are getting eye strains. The symptoms of eye strain caused by computer are red & watery eyes, focusing problems, aching & tired eyelids, eye muscle spasm, backache and headache. In such an environment, eye exercise must be done regularly. The eyes must be made to focus on distant objects and should be rotated from side to side. It is extremely important to give ample rest to the eyes. Glasses with UV shield must be worn when looking at the computer screen. Eye strain can be avoided by increasing the distance from the monitor. Eye hazards are also caused when cosmetics are used improperly by contact lens wearers. Some of the adverse reactions are injury, eye irritation, allergy, dryness, infection, and lens deposition. That is the reason why adolescents must be made aware of the risk they will face when opting for contact lens. Girls should understand that they should buy hypoallergenic cosmetics and especially the non-scented variety, manufactured by big brand names. Cosmetics should not be shared with anything else. The applicator brushes must be washed regularly and old mascara must be disposed and not refilled. Eye shadows which are glittery, pearlized, frosted or iridescent contain ground tinsel or oyster shell, which should be always avoided. Eyeliner should not be applied in the inner lid edge. Loose powder should be avoided. Cream should not be applied near the eyes. The wearer should wash hands while handling contact lens. No crying, washing of face or bathing should be done with the contact lens on.

Alcohol and teenagers

Alcohol or booze is widely used by young people. Binge drinking, drink driving and unsafe sex can all result from the misuse of alcohol. 

In Australia, alcohol is generally considered to be a socially acceptable drug, yet it is responsible for most drug-related deaths in the teenage population. Alcohol use also has a variety of serious health risks. 

It’s difficult to prevent teenagers from experimenting with alcohol, but parents and carers can encourage sensible drinking habits.

The safest level of alcohol drinking for teenagers is no drinking, especially for young people under 15 years of age. But if older teenagers do drink alcohol, parents and carers can minimise the risks by providing adult supervision and encouraging consumption within the adult guideline for low-risk drinking (two standard drinks in any one day).

Teen alcohol usage statistics

The 2016 National Drug Strategy Household Survey found that 77.8 per cent of 12–17 year olds have never had a full serve of alcohol. It also found that 1.4 per cent of 12–17 year olds drink weekly (while for the 18–24 age group, the figure is 28.7 per cent).

High Blood Pressure in Kids and Teens

Too many kids and teens have high blood pressure (hypertension) and other risk factors for heart disease and stroke. Using the updated 2017 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Clinical Practice Guidelineexternal icon, a CDC study shows that about 1 in 25 youth ages 12 to 19 have hypertension, and 1 in 10 has elevated blood pressure (previously called “prehypertension”). High blood pressure is more common in youth with obesity.

High blood pressure in youth is linked to health problems later in life. The good news is that you can both help prevent high blood pressure and manage it.

High blood pressure in youth has decreased, but youth are still at risk. Between 2001 and 2016, the prevalence of high blood pressure declined as measured by both the new and former guidelines. But there are still many young people with high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as obesity and diabetes. Even with this downward trend, under the new guideline more youth are classified as having high blood pressure than 15 years ago under the former guideline.

An estimated 1.3 million youth ages 12 to 19 would have high blood pressure according to the new guidelines, or about 1 in 25 children. In a classroom of 30 youth, 1 person would have hypertension, and about 3 more would have elevated blood pressure.

Risks for cardiovascular disease that start in childhood are more likely to carry over into adulthood. Youth who have cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes, are more likely to have these risk factors as adults, putting them at greater risk for heart disease and stroke.
