Oral myiasis

Below is an article from Hindustan Times.    ( Updated: Oct 26, 2017 11:36 IST) Oral Myiasis The mere mention of maggots is enough to make people sick to their stomach. Imagine what the sight of dozens of maggots squirming about in a human being’s mouth would do. A revolting footage uploaded by a user from India on YouTube, shows a dental surgeon coming face-to-face with a mouth infested with maggots - the slimy larval stage of flies and other related insects usually found feeding on rotten flesh. The patient, an elderly woman presumably because of the long hair, appears to be under sedation and can be heard taking deep breaths, as a tube pumps anaesthetic gas through the nose. The person has her lower lip tugged to reveal the seriousness of the oral infestation. Daily Mail  reported  that the woman appears to suffer from oral myiasis - a condition when the tissues in the oral cavity are invaded by parasites. Oral myiasis is associa...
Below is an article from The New Indian Express, to have an awareness about the disability - dwarfism. Bias is no laughing matter: Persons suffering from dwarfism demand assistance from Tamil Nadu government By Venkatesan Parthasarathy  |  Express News Service  |   Published: 02nd October 2017 02:50 AM  |   Last Updated: 02nd October 2017 12:02 PM  CHENNAI: They sometimes get odd roles in Kollywood movies. Perhaps only because their figure adds a ‘comic’ element to the screen. But when 50 persons affected by dwarfism came together here on Sunday, what they demanded was an opportunity to stand on their own legs and space to lead a dignified life. “Even if they pay us half the amount (compared to normal persons), we are capable of working as peons, lift operators or help with other unskilled work in government offices,” said 52-year-old Ponnusamy. He had acted in around 50 movies in various languages and is a recognisable face in pu...

Cartoonist Madhi and Kalaignar Karunanidhi

Yes, it is acceptable that these days i am not get interested to see the first page cartoon of madhi. Just read in ananda vikatan that he resigned his job from dinamani for a break. As an avid reader and critic, i was interested in cartoons. Again yes, madhi cartoons are specifically targeted kalaignar (for me thalaivar-not to mention) or sorry and his family all the time, and in some stage it seemed there is no issues other than kalaignar family in the entire tamilnadu, that was the impression of cartoonist madhi, he created in dinamani. Of course, all things needs to be stopped or decayed.... After kalaignar illness, seems madhi ran out of thoughts or it can be considered as sheer coincidence that he left the job at the same time kalaignar was inactive in politics due to his age and illness. Anyway, his statement again proved that kalaignar is the master in his acts and he succeeded in penetrating minds and thoughts of all people, be his adversary or his friends or any third per...

A self-advertising tool called social media

Sometimes you wonder what these people are glued to their mobile phones during their bus journey/train journey, anywhere and everywhere..checking whatsapp, facebook, twitter, etc., whether they are activity posting or not but they are actively and keenly seeing their mobiles swiping from bottom to top without any symptoms of boring or tiredness... It is very much frustrating to see resources who were allotted to perform some tasks in between their works to see their mobiles, as usual social networking....what it gives to them...are they updating information, i mean their knowledge, or time passing? It certainly affects the productivity in work place and cause stress and imbalance in workplace.... Recently, Mr. Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, given notable comment regarding this concern. "Use social media for public welfare not for self praise" and he had given examples regarding this. It is thinkable that what made him to give such request or statement regarding ...

anita ratnam comments about aishwarya dhanush performance

It never happened and this never going to happen. In his film career with lot of experience kamal never commented about anyone's performance even if he wasn't given best act award in the award showbiz functions. It wasn't in any news that Zakir Hussain, never commented about any performer in his field.  People might show their dissent or can express their dissatisfaction when they think the happenings are getting degraded or worse. Anita ratnam's comment about aishwarya Dhanush performance is such a case. Needless comments in unwanted moment. Why such a comment? Are they rivals? Any chance has been grabbed to get jealous? What is the experience difference? What is the age gap? Would aishwarya dhanush felt hurt?  How the tweet should be? Cn the performance, congrats to represent India in such a stage. Liked the dance, would have some improved expressions in few places. Nicely taught and neatly performed. Even if not so generous, atleast a mi...
