World Asthma Day

As we observe World Asthma Day on May 5, I here contribute a little in order to lowdown the disease which can prove to be deadly in many situations.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airway which causes widespread,variable and often reversible narrowing of the air passage.The commonest symptom of asthma in children is cough.

The basic mechanism of asthma is the hyper responsiveness of the airway to various allergens in a genetically predisposed person.The common allergens are are house dust mite, pollens of plants , change in environmental temperature and humidity.Allergy to food items is uncommon trigger of asthma in children.The allergens cause release of various inflammatory mediators from eosinophills and mast cellos leading to airway narrowing by swelling of inner lining of airway ,constriction of muscles of bronchi and collection of thick tenacious sputum in air passage leading to obstruction to the air flow ,mainly during exhalation when the airway is otherwise is also narrow.

Prevention

Altough there is no cure of asthma but it can be effectivelt controlled in most patients intervening to supress and reverse inflammation as well as treating spam of airway muscles. Early intervention to stop exposure to the risk factors may help in controlling asthma and reduce medication needs. The major intervention are at reducing exposure to indoor allergens like house dust,pet fur and excreata,strong perfumes etc. and avoiding tobbaco,alcohol consumption.viral infections like influenza play important role in asthma development in infants and young children.

Management Of Asthma

The management of asthma is two pronged :-

• reliever medications from relief from acute and severe asthma are short acting inhaled b2 agonists like salbutamol and terbutaline anti cholingeric ipratropium bromide, theophylline and short acting oral b2 agonists.

• Medication for long term control inhaled corticosteroids like fluticasone and budesonides,leukotriene modifier montelukast ,long acting inhaled b2 agonists like salmaterol and formoterol and theophyllines.

Asthmatic facts

• Asthma can effect all age group people including young infants.

• Poorly controlled asthma can effect growth and school performance of children.

• Inhalation therapy is safe and effective in long term control of asthma and easy to administer.

• There are some myths regarding inhalers that they are costly ,habit forming and strong.

• Various alternative forms of medicine like Ayurveda,Homeopathy,Naturopathy and Yoga can help in achieving control but their claim to cure asthma is wrong.

• Child with controlled asthma can enjoy the games.

• Food allergy is uncommon cause of asthma in children.

• Long term treatment with corticosteroids as long as 13 years has not been shown to be associated with any sustained side affects.

Nishaani

अगर रख सको तो एक निशानी हूँ मैं,
खो दो तो सिर्फ एक कहानी हूँ मैं ......
रोक पाए न जिसको ये सारी दुनिया,
वोह एक बूँद आँख का पानी हूँ मैं......


सबको प्यार देने की आदत है हमें,
अपनी अलग पहचान बनाने की आदत है हमें,
कितना भी गहरा जख्म दे कोई,
उतना ही ज्यादा मुस्कराने की आदत है हमें!


इस अजनबी दुनिया में अकेला ख्वाब हूँ मैं,
सवालो से खफा छोटा सा जवाब हूँ मैं....
जो समझ न सके मुझे, उनके लिए "कौन"
जो समझ गए उनके लिए खुली किताब हूँ मैं.....


आँख से देखोगे तो खुश पाओगे,
दिल से पूछोगे तो दर्द का सैलाब हूँ मैं....
"अगर रख सको तो निशानी,
खो दो तो सिर्फ एक कहानी हूँ मैं...."!

Visit to city of Tripura Sundari.

Day before yesterday I went to the city of famous Mahi river ,from which the state of Gujrat derives water for its life ,Banswara.Though the name seems quiet odd ,then too the the place is incredibly adorable. The famous spots of the city made me lose myself in them.

First of all I paid my visit to the famous temple of Tripura Sundari, 20kms from the city.The great entrance was so magnificent that I couldn't restrict myself from entering the temple.Then came a lot of steps , after climbing some of them I could see the view of a park made for recreation of the children. On reaching the main door of the temple, we were asked to wash our hand and feet in order to purify ourselves.The entrance was guarded by well equipped guards,and then we came across the Hawan Kund of the temple, where a hawan (a ritual in India)was going on.Then we entered into the garbh-griha of the temple,where I was completely lost into the purified air and smell of devotion. The statue of Maa Tripura Sundari,was an idol carved out of black stone and was decorated so beautifully that I was lost in the melody of the temple's bells. We offered the prasad,to the goddess and then took the leave,though I was not appreciating the early departure.Also the kirti stambh and the variety of flora made me flow in the breeze. The large area of the temple campus touched me deeply.The way too, was surrounded with lush green variety of flora.
The next day we went to the Mahi dam, 16 kms from the city.The water was filled in the dam and was a great view. The place was so beautiful that I could not find the words yet to describe it. It was simply marvellous.
I also made many friends and out of all of them ,three moved very close to my heart.I could not know what impression they formed of me but then too I liked all of them.I can never forget my friends as well as the visit to the city of Maa Tripura Sundari.

Happy New Year

Today...After the New Year celebrations have received an end.....I wish a very happy and prosperous new year. I congratulate you all on your success and hope the best for for your future.I would like you all to take up a nice resolution and work on it to leave your bad habit(if any).Now it is not at all easy to remove any of your bad habits all of a sudden. So, I being your nice friend advice you some simple steps to achieve you New Year goal.

• Make Sure you love and dersire your goals truely.Don't try to aleave a certain habit unless and untill you feel that it is bad......Think deeply .and .......................'Listen to Your Heart.'
• Make the goals that are acceptable by your mind.If you believe taht you can achieve your goal ,your mind will reluctantly pull you to achieve it.
• Prioritize your goals. For example, You want to propse your crush and in the same year you also want to achieve good marks in your "EXAMS".Then fix the rority of achieveing good marks and then proposing him/her.
• Make gradual changes .Its not that you take a resolution in first of January, and wake up on second as a new person.Expect that those habits will become a part of your life some day.And don't let this feeling discourage you.
• Don't be discouraged by setbacks.Life is full of setbacks and that doesn't mean to end your efforts.When you experience a blow,stand up ,shake it off, forgive yourself to be human and get back on the track.
• Learn to forgive yourself.Its a good idea to maintain the previous resolution too if not achieved.

• And at the end of the day it gives tremendous satisfactionwhen we achieve something we were yearning for.There is always a sense of pride in it.

And hoping a bright future waitng for you I would hope to see your comments and mails and wish that You will be transformed after a few weeks.

"WISHING A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY."
