Kamal's interview with Kushboo in Z TV tamil

One is a celebrity from mid 80's or in 90's established in Tamil Nadu and the other one is a Legend who is very informative and has his own style and a very long history from his childhood and had many relations or connections with the wizards in tamil cinema or in other industries throughout his entire career. So when i - a hard core thalaivar fan tune to kamal's interview to get some informations or a glimpse of his unknown side by getting his answers from the interview questions, it is totally an uninformative one. Interviewing is an art and one cannot expect more when a film personality interviews another film personality. If getting time with Kamal is rare it should be utilised. The whole interview is like an objectification what this society calls about the women or heroines as they are objectified in tamil cinemas without giving enough scope for performance. The interview was all about the concept of lip lock and to identify the lips of various heroines in a puz...

Where the reading begins?

"Philosophy is not the real thing, and to be a philosopher is just to go astray". It is not just easy to read a book fully. It is like a meditation. The writings should inspire you. Nonetheless the book shouldnt make you to leave it alone after reading few pages. Its just like that. Bought a book of Osho in book exhibition and read from the start few weeks before, but i was like in no man's land and it just felt that i am reading it as if i am reading a newspaper without any interest. Then again, i just moved the pages to get glimpse of it to search if anything strikes me to continue. There came a pause and with the above mentioned lines i was taken aback. Ok let me start reading from this point. It is like a smooth take off in an highway without any toll plazas and motel stops. Fantastic narration, which makes you to re-read. The way philosophy and philosophers are explained is such true from my point of view being an athiest. It is truely an osho way. Just g...

Bahrain-born Fatima Ahmed may not be able to manage that with her own two failed lungs, but she can certainly give it a shot with the artificial one that doctors have attached - between her legs. A couple of years ago, doctors gave patients with heart failure external pumps (LVAD/HVAD) to keep them going till a suitable heart for transplant became available. Now, they’ve managed the same for when your lungs give out. Surgeons at Global Hospitals used a device called the Novalung to ‘breathe’ for a 64-year-old Bahraini woman, who underwent a lung transplant two years ago. An artificial, membrane-filled device that requires no external power source, the Novalung takes blood from the femoral artery, removes Carbon dioxide, adds oxygen and returns the blood to the femoral vein. “It’s tough enough to find a suitable lung to transplan...

Myths on Liver trouble

Source: http://epaper.newindianexpress.com/c/3524145 The common perception about people with liver trouble is that they're either supremely unhealthy or alcoholic. But when someone like Mandolin Srinivas, who does not fall into either category, falls prey to hepatic diseases like cirrhosis, it can be quite an eye-opener. According to Dr. Mohamed Rela, one of the country's foremost experts on Liver Transplantation and surgeon at Global Health City, alcoholism and obesity aren't the largest causes of cirrhosis in India. "Fatty liver disease causes more cirrhosis than alcohol. The percentage of alcoholics developing cirrhosis is barely 10-15 per cent," he explains. Rela says that there are 15-odd metabolic conditions that can cause cirrhosis, most of which are genetic. "They can affect even children, so it's not surprising to see it present in non-alcoholic adults." Cirrhosis by itself is bad enough. But when it combines with inoperable tumours o...
