Do not Sit on Your Wallet !!!
Your Wallet |
Your wallet can be real pain for your back and the waist, and it can even lead to shooting pains down the legs. Sitting on a wallet for prolonged hours every day can compress sciatic nerve which passes beneath piriformis muscle and leads to piriformis syndrome, low back pain & self-inflicted sciatica.
The wallet acts as a wedge that forces the pelvis, spine and body out of alignment. Just as you would not sit on a brief case or a rock for an extended period of time, you should not sit on your wallet. Anyone who drives more than a half hour sitting on a wallet is a candidate for sciatica or back pain.
The healthiest option is to move the wallet to your front pocket. If it’s must to keep your wallet in your back pocket, you should remove it before you sit down.

A great voice is stilled
THRISSUR: The condition of the noted social and cultural critic Sukumar Azhikode, who passed away on Tuesday was deteriorating day by day, after he was admitted to Amala Hospital near here on December 10. He was slurring when this correspondent visited the 85-year old orator at Amala Hospital, in Thrissur on January 3. Fast spreading cancer seemed to have gained an upper hand even on his tongue which had mesmerized thousands of people across the state and even outside by providing sumptuous and inspiring treats of words of wisdom on divergent topics for about six decades. It was a hard task to hold back tears and appear to be calm when one realizes that it has become impossible to make sense of even a single word uttered by a man who was a charismatic presence in the social and cultural lives of Kerala for decades on mainly through the delivery of scholarly and poetic observations from public platforms.
Azhikode's works and awards Azhikode's most famous work is Tatvamasi, an authoritative book on Indian Philosophy, Vedas and Upanishads. Asante Seetha Kavyam, Sankara Kurup Vimarsikkapedunnu Mahakavi Ulloor, Ramananum Malayalakavithayum, Vayanayude Swargattil, Mahatmavinte Margam, Tatvavum Manushyanum,Purogamanasahityavum Mattum, Malayala Sahityavimarsanam, Malayala Sahitya Padanangal, Guruvinte Dukham, Aakasam Nashtapetunna India are his other important works.
He had won many awards including the Indian Sahitya Academi Award, Kerala Sahithya Academy Award, Vayalar Award and the Rajaji Award. Azhikode had won Ezhuthachan Puraskaram - the highest literary award instituted by the State Government in 2004 and bagged last year's Mathrubhumi literature award for his overall contributions to the Malayalam literary world. In Jan 2007, he refused to accept the Padma Shri conferred on him stating that Such honours are against the Constitution. "The Constitution says everyone should be treated as equal. BY Giving such honours at different levels, the State discriminates between people. I see the Padma Shri conferred on me as an opportunity to expose this discrimination."
Azhikode is the founder and president of Navabharathavedi - a socio-cultural organization. He has also worked at several newspapers including Varthamanam, Dinabandhu, Malayala Harijan, Desamitram, Navayugam and Dinaprabha.
കാശും കൊടുക്കണം പുഴുക്കളെയും തിന്നണം...
ഈസ്റെണ് മുളക് പൊടിയില് മായം ചേര്ത്തതുമായി ബന്ധപെട്ട വിവാദങ്ങള് കെട്ടടങ്ങുന്നതിനു മുമ്പേ ഇതാ അതെ രീതിയിലുള്ള മറ്റൊരു സംഭവം . കണ്ണൂരിലെ ഒരു മാവേലി സ്റ്റോറില് നിന്നും വാങ്ങിച്ച നിരപര മുളക് പൊടിയില് നീളത്തിലുള്ള പുഴുക്കളും കീടങ്ങളും കണ്ടെത്തി .മുളക് പൊടി പാക്കറ്റിന്റെ കാലാവധി 2012 ജൂണ് വരെയാണ് .കറിയിലിട്ടപ്പോഴാണ് പുഴുക്കളെ കണ്ടത് .തുടര്ന്ന് കസ്റ്റമര് കേയറുമായി ബന്ധപെട്ടപ്പോള് കടക്കരോട് ചോദിക്കാനായിരുന്നു മറുപടി .അത് ശരിയാണോ എന്ന് ചോദിച്ചപ്പോള് നിങ്ങള്ക്കിഷ്ടമുള്ളത് ചെയ്തോ എന്നായിരുന്നു അവിടെ നിന്നുണ്ടായ വെല്ലുവിളി .
ഇതാണ് ലോകം .പുഴുക്കളെ തിന്നണ്ട എന്നുണ്ടെങ്കില് സ്വന്തമായി മുളക് വാങ്ങി പൊടിച്ചു ഉപയോഗിക്കണം .ഇല്ലായെങ്കില് കയ്യിലിരിക്കുന്ന കാശും കൊടുക്കണം പുഴുക്കളെയും തിന്നണം മാത്രമോ കമ്പനിക്കാരന്റെ വായിലിരിക്കുന്നത് കേള്ക്കണം .
