Just wanted to warn you guys not to buy those packs of ear buds you get in the  local trains or at the roadside.It”s made from cotton that has already been used in hospitals. They take all the dirty, blood and pus filled cotton, wash it, bleach it and use it to make ear buds.

So, unless you want to become the first person in the world to get Herpes Zoster Oticus (a viral infection of the inner, middle, and external ear) of the ear and that too from a cotton bud, DON”T BUY THEM!


Mail it to ur friends.

'Nature's beauty is divine.
Nature is serene.
Sunflower loves sun's glare.
Flowers' fragrance fills the air.
Colors being vibgyor and more;
Eyes sparkle and ask for more.
Leaves are green and green.
Autumn sheds all this green.
Between winter and summer swings the spring;
Plants are back in full swing.
Green environment looks awesome.
Flowers bloom and blossom.
Colorful butterfly flirts with flower;
Sprinkling pollens all over.
Swaying leaves look graceful.
Brushing wind sounds peaceful.
Dew drops on leaves and petals glisten and shine.
Oh! Nature, you are divine!

Good Morninggggggggggggg .

Keep your thoughts positive,

because your thoughts become your words.

Keep your words positive,

because your words become your actions.

Keep your actions positive,

keep your habits positive,

because your habits become your lifestyle.

Imagine. . . .

There is a bank that credits your account each morning with RS86,400. It carries ove no balance from day to day. Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out ALL OF IT, of course!!!

Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.

Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day”s deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the “tomorrow.”

So live in the present on today”s deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success! The clock is running. Make the most of today.




What is cancer?

April 30th, 2008



What is cancer?

Cancer is a disease of cells.

It is an abnormal growth of cells which tend to proliferate in an uncontrolled way and, in some cases, to metastasize(spread).

 

Cancer is also called malignancy.
A cancerous growth or tumor is sometimes referred to as a malignant growth or malignant tumor.
A non-malignant growth or tumor is referred to as benign. Benign tumors are not cancer.
Cancer is not one disease. It is a group of more than 100
different and distinctive diseases. 
Cancer is NOT contagious.
Cancer can involve any tissue of the body and have many different forms in each body area.

Most cancers are named for the type of cell or organ in which they start. If a cancer spreads (metastasizes), the new tumor bears the same name as the original (primary) tumor.
Cancer is the Latin word for crab. The ancients used the word to mean a malignancy, doubtless because of the crab-like tenacity a malignant tumor sometimes seems to show in grasping the tissues it invades.

Cancer may also be called malignancy, a malignant tumor, or a neoplasm (literally, a new growth).
How many people die of cancer each year?

Nice Read… u might want to spend 2 mins reading this.

 
 
His  name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.


There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.


The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman”s sparse surroundings an elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.


“I want to repay you,” said the nobleman. “You saved my son”s life.”


“No, I can”t accept payment for what I did,” the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer”s own son came to the door of the family hovel.


“Is that your son?” the nobleman asked.


“Yes,” the farmer replied proudly.


“I”ll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he”ll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.” And that he did. Farmer Fleming”s son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary”s Hospital Medical School in London, & went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.  Years afterward, the same nobleman”s son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time? Penicillin.


The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son”s name?


Sir Winston Churchill.


Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

Work like you don”t need the money.


Love like you”ve never been hurt.

Dance like nobody”s watching.

Sing like nobody”s listening.

Live like it”s Heaven on Earth.
