We should be careful..and take care.....

This is the e mail  reply sent to the author of a blog. of  a  Software Engineer at IBM...Bangalore who advised me to write blogs last year. I observe  having written 70 titles  in blog since then and am searching or discovering subjects for continuing the blog ...My blog...Sarve.Janaha Sukhino Bhavanthu. active .. since 2007 has pageviews over 17845....

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Saw your blog regarding billing MRP ,etc at some mall Bengaluru.Yes,we should be careful. Again I add a real event...was hesitating to send the report to you....may read.  You must be busy with your IBM.... ensuing event or exhibition.Although a layman with no infrastructure,software,hardware and technucal knowledge ,felt happy to learn a few things through you  like..

Thinkpad,Lenova,Lotus Blue Mix...may be wrong....and

Watson...have heard about him,etc.We have gone and stayed at Poughkeepsie,New York and old centre.Cloud,Java,Swift,etc read and added my superfluous knowledge.I have a long letter to you about Mathematics Infinity,Zero,theta,gamma,etc shall send after you are free from the work of Big Blue.  

Now the story....

Chitra.. one short story related to Hb A1C..Blood sugar level...Wrong  medicine..etc.. 

You said. "" Take care uncle..""but I did not

My wife was away for 2 months   from house.and I was alone at home While she was at home she used to monitor my food   intakes ,avoid items advised to be not taken and include items found medically conducive to T2D.H (Type 2 Diabetics..with Hypertension ) persons...and I used to watch,control and restrict her food,monitor regular intake of medicines,reminding regular walk,exercise etc.  and taking stipulated food..avoiding prohibited items,etc... 

It was during this period of 2 months I had to cook my food I did not know making chappathis ,etc which I used to take during nights In the morning breakfast used to be 3 slices of wheat bread with some non oily brinjal or ladies finger side dish.Ofcourse we donot buy or use sugar even when we were non diabetics...Again banana,mango,grapes,butter,ghee,iccream,etc were avoided . Only Sunfeast Marie biscuit was used .none else... 

While I was alone I used to cook rice make sambar ,curry,.etc take it three times with curd. For breadslice I used to buy jam,peanut butter, so many cream biscuits ,etc   and  consumed avoided items.Elakki plantain,banana,Rasthali, ,chips,chocolates,almond,cashewnut walnut,,etc from fridge I used to take daily.With the result when I went to Eye Clinic for cataract they found out the quarterly average HbA1c .higher...I went to Physician who  gave some stronger doses of metformin,etc to reduce the level.Hope I will be normal soon. 

Similarly her figures also went up being free at brother's house and medicines given to bring down levels. 

So I should have taken care as advised by you. 

We went to the Physician....he said intake of excess sugar content for last one quarter  and prescribed Glycomet GP2. in..the place of Glimisave M 1 containing 500 mg metformin twice a day presently used. He prescribed Glycome GP2 containing Metformin same 500 MG plus 2 mg glimepiride.I took the tablets came home started taking as advi.For 2 days I experienced giddiness,,fainiting sensation etc.I got suspicious and checked the tablets given and found it was Glycomet M 2 Forte containing 1000 mg metformin in each tablet.The excess consumption of metformin n perhaps has lead to heaviness in head.I got the information about ingredients of tablets through network. it is beceassry we check the correctness of tablets and verify its contents through net search. 
Hope I did not confuse you..+++++

Our family marriages......

Marriages.  ..

Mangalyam tantunanena mama jeevana hetuna: kanthe badhnami subhage twam jeeva sarada satam ||

Tying the thali or the mangalsutra around the bride's neck by the groom is one of the most important rituals of a hindu wedding.

 

While the groom ties three knots, the pundit chants this sloka which means; “This is a sacred thread. This is essential for my long life. I tie this around your neck O maiden having many auspicious attributes. May you live happily for a hundred years (with me).”

Abhivadaye... .Introduction...

Abhivadaye (Sanskrit: अभिवादये ābhivādye) is a religious practice among Hindu men to introduce themselves to others especially the elders. It is practiced even today widely among the Brahmins.

Face East for pratha sabdhyavandanam..north for Madhyahnikam and West for Sayan Sandhya vandabam...

The mantra will change from person to person depending on his name, Gothra ,and Sutra .

An example.

Abhivadaye...  Angirasa rishi Thrayarsheya..pravaranvitha..Bharadwaja.Gothraha .aapasthamba..soothraha

.yajuhu..Shakhadhyayi.
.vijayaraghava. Sharma.

Naamaham. Asmi..Bhoho...

Meaning. .

OH great one,I an follower of the  pravara Rishi called Angirasa.. .belonging to Bharadwaja Gothra(clab), following the aapasthamba Suthra and a student of Yajurveda and my name is Vijayaraghava Sarma and I am following at thine feet...

Notes.

After completion of the recitation,the right forehand crosses above the left forehead,and touch the feet of elders

By Abhivandanam an individual expresses his descent namely dynastic rishis,gotra,sutra,saka and name...

Varalaksmi Vratham ..12.8.2016......

These are comments to a most valuable and informative blog dated 30.8.2015...
http://www.drikpanchang.com/festivals/onam/onam-thiruvonam-date.html?l=8657
I repeat my comments  made  in 2015.. for perusal, observance, meticulous conpliance of the traditional requirements and for obtaining blessings from  Goddess...Lakshmi by the women.
..

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Chitra...has given a detailed explanation about the Varlakshmi Vratham.or Nombu...here enlightening women and men of Brahmin families to know the significance of such vrathas. Ofcourse we or men feel totally unaware of these rituals done my pious holy and orthodox women in families performing pujas/nombu/vrtha for the welfare of whole family observing various strict requirments. As seen, it is prevalent in families who commenced observing Varlakshmi puja and being continued by their descendents (daughter in law ),etc. Genrally people feel any vratha means some form of fasting incuding the ones done by persons of other religions which ultimately found good for health as fasting ocasionally is medically recognised advice for repairing your digestive or intestinal system. In this Varakshmi vratham or Nombu  as explained by Chitra we get more insight into the significance of such a boon granted by Goddess Lakshmi to worshippers with a story behind it. It is evident that even Gods or their consorts or siva ganas were playing games and the referee being found partial being reprimanded/ punished etc as we come across in modern sports..games...etc...But anybody who is punished is given a boon or chance by performing some parihara by observing Varlakshmi Nombu. This article read by all women should instil them doing vratha from now onwards in their famiies and allow the progeny to continue for furture generations.

Incidentally I have come across similar puja like Chath Puja Chath Maiya and the Goddess worshipped is Chathi Maya known as Usha in Veda . She is believed to be the consort of Surya, the sun God.It is performed every year in order to thank Surya for sustaining life on earth and a prayer for granting certain wishes..The sun is  source of energy and worshipped during Chath is believed to cure a variety of diseases and ensure longevity and prosperity of all members of the family. Chath is observed in Bihar, Nepal,etc,,,and similar pujas or nombus done by different persons of various regional states...

Sumangali prarthanai performed by Brahmin familes of Soth India is also done occasionally for seeking blessing of ladies in families as sumangalis...with a real story behind it which I am not narrating here.

It is absolutely evident that the women in families undertake all troubles or duties in performing such pujas,vrathas,nombus,etc with the ultimate aim of securing prosperity to the whole family or the universe... In fact it is no exaggeration if we treat any woman in the family as an embodiment of Goddess Mahalakshmi in human form..May be just to remember we have names of women as Lakshmi,Rajalakshmi,Subbalskhmi,Srilakshmi,etc,,,and by calling them by name invoke Goddess Lakshmi

We pray God or Goddess to shower all good things to all..

Walking daily is a requirement.....

Why should one start walking ?

We are advised by our Physicians and others at home to walk atleast 30 to 60 minutes daily.One of the best things we can do for our body ,mind and spirit is by walking brisk daily In addition to burning extra calories of our system,it helps reduce unwanted weight in the body.One of the ways of reducing obesity is by walking 5 miles per day..

If we are inactive by remaining idle at home,adding a 20 minute brisk walk would reduce our premature death risk as much as 30 percent

Walking is considered as an exercise to prevent heart disease Also it reduces LDL bad cholesterol and increases HDL..Good chloresterol .For diabetics it increases uses of insulin and helps maintain normal blood sugar level ...

It is also reported useful  for avoiding Dementia,tones body,prevents miscarriage,and beneficial to breast cancer patients...

There are many more advantages of walking...for human beings.  Let us make use of the benefits by daily walking...

The Maths of walking and not losing weight..

If you eat fewer calories than you use daily you lose weight

If you eat more calories than you use daily,you gain weight.

Hence to lose weight you need to eat lesser calories and /or burn more calories
daily.

Mind is the most valuable part of human body.Thinking talking,imagining,writing,etc involve activity of brain or mind.In the process of daily walk we can make use of the mind by thinking many a matter and writing down them later .We can preserve many important posts in blogs for use .The activity of brain and the physical activity through walk help us improve our health.

While in India being a senior citizen with possible deterioration in health  I had made it compulsory to walk daily.In USA  where I am now on visit also I try to continue with daily walk.

Ofcourse I ask my spouse also to walk daily as it is required more for  her being a little obese .We go for walk separately lest we may talk other matters if we go together during walk.

While Ultraviolet rays of sun  and radiation , other  rays  may be harnful to humans,it is preferable to avoid hot sun during walk.

This matter I thought while I went for walk today..
