Influenza-The forthcoming disaster

Submitted by tarunsonkhya on
Dear Friends, It has been some time since i wrote a blog post. I must say, I am writing today about something which has been troubling me alot since some time now. Talking with one of my friends, who works on H5N1 virus(which caused the last influenza pandemic in 1918) and preparedness for next influenza pandemic, I realized that we, in India are highly susceptible to the deadly virus and would surely fall prey to it during next pandemic. The 1918 influenza pandemic killed 70-100 million people throughout the world.

Seperation and Responsibility

Being a Sankalp Volunteer is not a job meant for everyone. Sankalp does not stand and work to please the Cheer Leaders.

I remember the time when we started Sankalp. The very first steps towards the making of this Organization were seen with suspicion and were mocked at. We were looked at differently.

Have you actually some day felt as though the entire universe is crashing on you?

There are times when Gods play chess with men. We, the men are part of such a complex and well designed plan that we find ourself challenged on all the fronts we face. The forehead sweats and the hear beats slowly. Fear and hopelessness is on the rise.

Steps towards the goal

Dreams take shape when you start working on them.

But it is not all that simple.

The crossroads where you need to make a choice are available in plenty. For every ten steps you take, you come to a new crossroad.. You need to make a fresh decision.

Externals- The force applied by VTU to shake us from our comfort level and make life as tensed as possible. Jokes apart, our first external exams were a different experience and living in a hostel and studying in Ramaiah was cherry on the top.

Pick up any news paper and you will be reading about the communal violence in Bangalore. I have somethings to share and ask for your opinion >> Media On the morning of 21st January when I picked up the news paper, I thought that the news of the communal violence will be the headline. But the TOI had decided that some other matter was more important to the city. >> Our Community We, the Muslims.. the Hindus.... we the people.. It looks to me that all of us are insane Three days back when I heard of the rally against US a small ray of hope shone in my mind.

OLD VERSION... The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold. MODERN VERSION The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.
