Story Behind Friendship Day:

In 1935 US government had killed a man on 1st Saturday of august, next day his friend died committing suicide in his memory.
US government had declared 1st Sunday of every August as friendship day.

Wishing You Happy Friendship Day and have a blast on this day with the RockStar.

The new show “Sach Ka Saamna” on India’s most favorite ladies channel -STAR PLUS thrilled the Politicians. TRP of the Show & Channel climbing up and up. All the episodes are available at online on YouTube and sachkasaamna.in .

I salute to the participant, who date to speak out the TRUTH related to their personal, family and social life. Its a Different type of  show where you have the answer, no need of current afire books, GK or IQ. Just needs to have the courage to answer the Sweet, Salty & Bitter TRUTH. No one knows the answer except the Participant and the Polygraph Machine.

Its a funny, full of entertainment (Masaledar) and Serious show that make you stunt for a moment.

The organizer of the show should ask the questions to Political Leaders, Administrative Officers, Criminals and the person who is TRUE but the society or charges on him/her make it FALSE by manipulating the TRUTH.

With this type of activity, it may hamper the production unit(s) and the organizer, but at last TRUTH is TRUTH. People will know how much PURE and FAITH is the Govt. they choose or the person they believe.

I hope it will be great idea to dig the TRUTH from hill of FALSE.

Day 1: Pahili Raja (First Raja) - The last day of month “Jestha”.

Day 2: Raja Sankranti (Middle Raja) the first day of month from which rainy season starts. It also inaugurates the agricultural year all over Orissa which marks the moistening of summer parched soil with the first shower of monsoon making it ready for productivity.

Day 3: Bhuin Dahana (Last Raja) – The second day of “Asadha” To celebrate the advent of monsoon the joyous festival is arranged for three days.

Even in some places of Orissa the fourth day of Raja festival is also celebrated in the name of “Basumata Puja” (Basumata : Mother Earth). During this festival digging of soil or tempering it in any way is strictly prohibited.

In the festive season of Raja, unmarried girls are forbidden to do all kinds of manual works. They don’t carry water, cook foods, cut vegetables, sweep the houses, sew clothes, grind grains, comb hair, walk in bare foot etc. During these three days girls are seen in the best of their dresses and decorations, eating cakes and rich food at the houses of friends and relatives.

They move up and down in the swings rending the village sky with their joyous impromptu songs. The swings are tied to the branches of Mango or Banyan trees and decorated with garlands of different flowers. One of Girl is elected as Dola-rani (queen of the swing) by the Girls group. When the queen takes her seat on the swing, the virgins move her forward and backward with chorus of charming songs. These songs are full of jolly spirit of girl-hood days and refer to glorious future, happy love and would be marriage with suitable husbands.

While girls scatter beauty, music all round moving up and down on the swings during this festival, young men (normally unmarried Men) give themselves busy in various types of country games including playing cards, Bohu chori, Kabadi competition. While ‘Yatras’ and ‘Gotipua’ dances are arranged at night in prosperous villages; plays and other entertainment programmees are also conducted.

The main attraction of the festival is Poda Pitha (Burnt Cake) prepared of rice-powder, molasses, coconut, camphor, ghee and jagerry. The size of the cake varies according to the number of family members.

The word Plastic derives from the Greek ????????? (plastikos), “fit for moulding”, from ??????? (plastos) “moulded”. It refers to their malleability or plasticity during manufacture that allows them to be cast, pressed, or extruded into an enormous variety of shapes – such as films, fibres, plates, tubes, bottles, boxes, and much more.

Plastic Pollution

Plastic is one of the few new chemical materials which pose environmental problem. Polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene is largely used in the manufacture of plastics.

20% of solid municipal wastes in India are plastic. Non-degradable plastics accumulate at the rate of 25 million tonnes per year. According to an estimate more than 100 million tonnes of plastic is produced every year all over the world. In India use of plastic is 3 kg per person per year

Plastic Problems

Plastics are used because they are easy and cheap to make and they can last a long time. Urbanisation has added to the plastic pollution in concentrated form in cities. Plastic does not decompose, and requires high energy ultra-violet light to break down.

Plastic thrown on land can enter into drainage lines and chokes them resulting into floods in local areas in cities as experienced in Mumbai, India in 1998. It was claimed in one of the programmes on TV Channel that eating plastic bags results in death of 100 cattle’s per day in U.P. in India. In stomach of one dead cow, as much as 35 kg of plastic was found.

More than 90% of the articles found on the sea beaches contained plastic. The plastic rubbish found on beaches near urban areas tends to originate from use on land, such as packaging material used to wrap around other goods. On remote beaches the rubbish tends to have come from ships, such as fishing equipment used in the fishing industry.

This plastic can affect marine wildlife in two important ways: by entangling creatures, and by being eaten. Aquatic animals mistake floating transparent plastic bags for jellyfish and eat them. A recent US report concluded that more than 100000 marine mammals die each year in the world’s oceans by eating or becoming entangled in plastic rubbish, and the position is worsening World-wide, 75 marine bird species are known to eat plastic articles.

Health hazards of plastic

A chemical found in plastics used in water bottles, food cans and even dental fillings, could pose a serious threat to the user’s health, researchers claim.

Research on lab animals has linked the chemical to prostate enlargement, declined testosterone, pre-cancerous breast cells, prostate cancer, changes to the genital tract, early puberty in females and hyperactivity.
It also acts as an endocrine disruptor meaning it can interfere with the hormone system.

Precautions

“Ideally, the best methods of reuse are ways that will keep these plastics out of the landfill the longest.”
Plastic water and soft drink bottles are sold with the intention of single use, then recycling, they can be safely reused if cleaned and handled properly. The keys are to ensure that the bottle is not damaged, has been thoroughly cleaned before each use, and is filled with clean tap water.

Different ways to reuse the plastic bags:

• Use them to dust off out-of-season on shoes or seasonal articles.
• Use the bags as gloves to clean dustbins, or using pesticides.
• When packing a suitcase, use them to keep shoes from soiling clothes and dirty things from clean ones.
• To protect small outdoor plants from rain or frost at night, cover them with bags and tie the handles tightly around the pots. Be sure to take the bags off in the morning.
• Use as a barrier between you and your trash: for those with infrequent trash pickups, use as an extra layer for strong smelling kitchen waste. Or replace trash bags: use for the bathroom, the car, or even to replace kitchen trash bags.
• Use as over dirty shoes to avoid tracking mud, or to put over shoes while doing gardening.
• Ask stores if they will take the bags back. Encourage your local retailer to do the same.
• For those who are interested in something a little bit more long lasting, consider learning how to craft with plastic bags, like carpet, shopping bags.

Reuse of Plastic Container

• Clean plastic food containers make great toys for your child/children.
• Use plastic food containers to store leftovers in the freezer.
• They could be used as great lunch containers in kids’ school lunches.
• Use as drawer organizers. They can round up jewellery, extra buttons, bobby pins, safety pins, and business cards, whatever you’ve got.
• Can be use as wrapping gift items / parcels.
• Can be modified to make pots for starting seedlings.
• Bigger containers work well to hold food scraps or dustbins.
• Small and medium sized plastic containers are great for travel containers for your homemade baby food and snacks.

Best Practice

• Start saying NO to carry bag when you can carry things in your hand
• Don’t forget to carry a cloth bag from home when you are heading for a purchase
• Keep a set of bags always in your bike/car
• Avoid packing goods in multiple plastics which can packed in a single
• You can use thick/black plastic which can be recycled
• Recycle a carry bag for at least 10 times before you throw

Conclusion

“It is better to be safe than sorry”. So a better idea will be to avoid this plastic as far as we possibly can.
These bags should be re-used as many times as possible to avoid entering the waste stream, but ultimately avoiding plastics all together is crucial to reduce our footprint on this earth. Until it becomes second nature, REUSE is MUST.
If we neglect this today, our tomorrow might be in a problem. Realise the importance of using less plastics
Make it a Habit and a Rule

…One person can save at least 15 plastics in a week…

Its a Seminar Report, that I prepared for my cousin. I hope this will help someone to take care of Environment as well as Marks on Project Report

Here some are the commonly used products that should be avoided for our own safety.

1. Mobile

In the 21st century Mobile is a common gadget from Rickshaw Puller to Jet Pilot. This is the best way of communication media, but we have to cautious about the ill effects it has.

Don’t put your mobile closer to your ears until the recipient answers, because directly after dialing, the  mobile phone would use it’s maximum signaling power, which is: 2watts = 33dbi. Please Be Careful. Please use left ear while using cell (mobile), because if you use the right one it may affect brain directly. This is a true fact provided by Medical Researchers.

2. Cold Drinks

Drinks are part of fashion and lifestyle of GenX.

Do not drink APPY FIZZ . It contains cancer causing agent.

3. Toffee / Chocolates

Mint chocolates / toffees are good with flavor and refreshment, but it may cause life threat.

Don’t eat Mentos before or after drinking Coke or Pepsi coz the person will die immediately as the mixture becomes cyanide. Please alert, whom u care.

4. Junk foods

In the Fast forward life we don’t have time to eat fresh and cooked foods. Its cheaper and easier to take the junk foods. But beware of it from next times onwards.

Don’t eat KURKURE because it contains high amount of plastic. Make small test to get the result in front of your Eyes. if  U don’t Believe burn a piece KURKURE and  you can see plastic melting.

5. Medicines / Tablets

Sometimes you may suffering from Cold, Flu, Headache or body pain due to cold, Whats the next possible step?

Rush to a chemist or search the first-aid kit for some tablets or pills. That’s true, it cures quicker than others. Even most of the time I did the same. But the research says these are harmful.

Avoid these tablets as they are very dangerous

• • D col
  • Vicks action- 500
  • Actified
  • Coldarin
  • Co some
  • Nice
  • Nimulid
  • Cetrizet-D  and others of these category.

Doctors / Physician never prescribe those tablets. Because, they contain Phenyl- Propanol -Amide PPA.Which Causes strokes, and these tablets are banned in U.S.

5. Ear Buds

In the Traffic Signals, Junctions, Market places some children and women are selling the Cotton Ear Buds. Please do not show sympathy to those. Just wanted to warn you people not to buy those packs of ear buds you get at the roadside. It’s made from cotton that has already been used in hospitals. They take all the dirty, blood and pus filled cotton, wash it, bleach it and use it to make ear buds. So, unless you want to become the first person in the world to get Herpes Zoster Oticus (a viral infection of the inner, middle, and external ear) of the ear and that too from a cotton bud, DON’T BUY THEM! Please forward to all this may be helpful for someone.

I’m writting this post to create an awareness to save ourselves before its too late. Its our life, We  should always be in safer side. Don’t play with your Life.
