The ways of the Almighty are
strange and we must bow to his will.
The mankind is trying all means to
conquer nature but the Almighty has
surprises in store. The different types of
the strands keep erupting and take medical
science by surprise. Corona Virus is
the latest and the medical science
although well advanced is struggling to
cope with it. It seems, for the man to
understand the true nature of the
Almighty is beyond his capability. He
is using the God’s name for his own
advantage. Today the commercial
aspects are more valuable to him than
the faith and the belief in the Almighty
God. Presently, the man is so deeply
involved in the space programme that
will commercialise the journeys into
space. Only the very rich will be able to
afford. Will this help the millions
dying of hunger and sickness in this
world?
The charities are desperately crying
out for help to save the breeds falling
prey to commercial greed. The tigers,
the elephants, the leopards and many
more are being hunted by the poachers
to satisfy the commercial needs.
The religious organisations are banking
the collections even though their
followers are dying because of hunger.
The evilness of the preachers in all the
religions is being exposed. The culprits
are being jailed. The vulnerable under
the care have been and are still being
abused by the authorities. The records
are present all around the world.
In Tihar Jail – India, four males have
been executed for the murder of a young
lady doctor named Nirbhaya, in the
early hours of the 20th March 2020. It
has taken seven years and three months
for her parents to get justice done for
their beloved daughter. She was brutally
Mamata warns of action
against officials stopping
vegetable vendors
Kolkata : West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata
Banerjee on Wednesday warned state government officials
that action would be taken against them if they
tried to stop vegetable vendors and personnel engaged
in home delivery of essentials during the ongoing lockdown
to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus infection.
"I have instructed all police stations to permit home
delivery of essential commodities. Vegetable vendors
cannot be stopped. If the government order is not
obeyed, action will be taken against administrative officials,"
she said.
Banerjee also drew on the board how people should
remain within a safety line to maintain social distancing
outside shops selling essentials.
Later, in a tweet, city police commissioner Anuj
Sharma urged people to maintain social distancing and
said "We have marked safety lines for buyers in markets
and shops. Please, obey".
Banerjee also instructed the police to make available
food for those who were going hungry due to the lockdown.
"If you come across anybody who has nothing to
eat, please inform the Block Development Officer or the
police. They will arrange to deliver food to their
homes". The Chief Minister also requested pavement
dwellers to shift to night shelters where police would
arrange food for them.

gang raped and murdered in the bus. It
shocked the world the way she met her
fate. Worldwide media covered the
incident. There was a big outcry all over
India for their hanging. A special programme
named India’s Daughter was
prepared and transmitted worldwide.
The family has faced a lot of the
obstacles but has finally managed to get
the justice they wanted. In India, many
murders are being done through gang
rapes and in the name of the Dharma.
Little children under the age of ten are
also being gang raped and murdered.
All the convicts from now on wards
should be hanged only then the law and
order in India can be imposed. The rich
must not be allowed to overrule the laws
of the country. They seem to buy their
way out. The corruption introduced by
the rich in the system needs to be ironed
out. The MPs, the saints or anyone connected
in murdering of the innocent
should face the rope. This will in return
increase safety of the women in India.
The Government should be fair and
not bias. All the religions and the
beliefs should be respected. All should
be treated as one. The poor in India
deserve justice. The rich are getting
richer and the poor are getting poorer.
The closure of the Yes Bank has
exposed some elite and raised awareness
to how the rich benefit from the
general public’s money. The laws are
being broken by the rich but they seem
to get away. The poor are generally used
to cover the offences committed by the
rich even though they have no involvement
in it. This lets the rich to walk
away with the clean sheet and the poor

Taking hot bath daily
good for your heart
Tokyo : If you want to live longer, read
on. Researchers have found that regular hot
tub bathing is linked to a lower risk of mortality
from heart disease and stroke.
According to the study, published in the
journal Heart, the higher the dose, the better
it seems to be for cardiovascular health, with
a daily hot bath seemingly more protective
than a once or twice weekly one. "We found
that frequent tub bathing
was significantly associated
with a lower risk of hypertension,
suggesting that a
beneficial effect of tub
bathing on risk of [cardiovascular
disease] may in
part be due to a reduced risk
of developing hypertension,"
end of December 2009, whichever came
first, with the final analysis based on 30,076
people. During the monitoring period, 2097
cases of cardiovascular disease occurred:
275 heart attacks; 53 sudden cardiac deaths;
and 1769 strokes.
After taking account of potentially influential
factors, analysis of the data showed
that compared with a once or twice weekly
bath or no bath at all, a daily
hot bath was associated with
a 28 per cent lower overall
risk of cardiovascular disease,
and a 26 per cent lower
overall risk of stroke. The
frequency of tub bathing
wasn't associated with a

with good sleep quality and better
self-rated health, but it's not clear what its
long term impact might be on cardiovascular
disease risk, including heart attack, sudden
cardiac death and stroke. To explore this, the
researchers drew on participants in The
Japan Public Health Centre-based Study
Cohort 1, a population-based tracking study
of more than 61,000 middle-aged adults (45
to 59 years). At the start of the study in 1990,
some 43,000 participants completed a
detailed questionnaire on their bathing
habits and potentially influential factors:
ticular type of stroke, called subarachnoid
haemorrhage (bleed into the space surrounding
the brain), the researchers said.
Further analysis of preferred water temperature
indicated 26 per cent lower and 35
per cent lower risks of overall cardiovascular
disease for warm and hot water, respectively.
But no significant associations
emerged for overall stroke risk and water
temperature. After excluding those participants
who developed the cardiovascular disease
within five or 10 years of the start of the
study, the associations found weren't quite as
strong, but nevertheless still remained statistically

record. This is a general practice in
India because the poor do not have any
voice. Why are the laws being broken
by the Government Officials? The
Prime- Minister Mr Narendra Modi is
stressing that the group gathering must
be avoided at all cost to stop Corona
Virus’s progress. But on the TV, the BJP
in Madhya Pardesh is shown celebrating
the departure of the Kamal Nath’s
Government. They are all so closely
standing together and are in a large
group. The viewers cannot understand
that when the Prime Minister is urging
the whole country to avoid close contact
and here his own party members and his
associates are disobeying his orders.
The laws should be obeyed by all
regardless of their caste, culture, position
and creed. This belief of one being
better than the other by birth is totally a
misleading statement. It is a man made
stigma that supports caste difference in
India. The escape from the Corona
Virus by drinking cow’s urine has failed
to draw any attention. This belief may
hold value for some in India but worldwide
has no effect. It has been put forward
by the religious sect to raise praise
for the cow because it is a religious
symbol.
The episodes EK MAHANAYAK
DR BHIM RAO AMBEDKAR are
being shown on the sky channel 709.
They show of the hatred, its development
and of behavior toward the lower
caste. Such a behavior and the attitude
of the higher caste instigated Dr Bhim
Rao Ramji Ambedkar to stand and fight
for their rights.
This hatred based on the religious
grounds needs to be eliminated, only
then equality has any chance to flourish
in India.

Kamal Haasan, Sarika,
Shruti, Akshara stay in
4 houses amid lockdown
Mumbai : South superstar Kamal Haasan and his
entire family are under
self-isolation in different
cities and houses.
His wife Sarika and
elder daughter Shruti
are currently residing
in separate apartments
in Mumbai while the
actor-politician himself
and younger
daughter Akshara are
in Chennai in different
houses.
"I am used to being
by myself. The difficult
part is not having
the option to go out
and the looming fear
of what all of this means for us. People have started taking
it seriously in the last few days. Thankfully, by the
time I returned, the shoots were also getting cancelled.
My entire family has self-isolated. Mum (actress Sarika)
is in Mumbai as well but in another apartment, Dad
(Kamal Haasan) and Akshara (sister) are in Chennai but
in separate houses. All of us had different travelling
schedules and it didn't make sense for us to isolate
together. That's the decision I feel people should make,"
Shruti told Mumbai Mirror. Shruti has returned from
London just 10 days ago and is under home quarantine
since then. The actress took to Instagram on Monday to
share: "I hope everyone's ok ? I'm learning a lot about
myself and im super glad I'm someone who enjoys my
own company so much. It's good to use this time to introspect
and ease into ourselves in silence. stay home , stay
positive, take care and sending everyone lots of love and
light. #stayhome #selfcare #selfiesnonstop #stayfit."
Meanwhile, on Tuesday evening Prime Minister
Narendra Modi announced a nationwide complete lockdown
for 21 days.
