[www.keralites.net] Preventing Angina Pain

 

Preventing Angina Pain




Angina pectoris, commonly known as Angina, is chest pain due to ischemia (a lack of blood, thus a lack of oxygen supply and waste removal) of the heart muscle, generally due to obstruction or spasm of the coronary arteries (the heart's blood vessels). Coronary artery disease, the main cause of angina.

There is a weak relationship between severity of pain and degree of oxygen deprivation in the heart muscle (i.e., there can be severe pain with little or no risk of a heart attack, and a heart attack can occur without pain).

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net
A regular exercise programme under the doctor's supervision can prevent angina.

A supervised weight-loss programme in over-weight persons also reduces the chances of angina.

[www.keralites.net] India proclaimed war on Kerala People!

 



Amid Centre's flip-flop, Court may let Italian ship leave

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net
APItalian marine Massimiliano Latorre hugs his sister at the central prison in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday.
The Centre tied itself in knots on Friday, telling the Supreme Court that India had no jurisdiction to detain an Italian ship involved in the shooting deaths of two Indian fishermen off the coast of Kerala, only to clarify several hours later that the senior legal official who made this dramatic claim on its behalf had given his personal opinion.  
Additional Solicitor-General Harin Raval submitted before a Bench of Justices R.M. Lodha and H.L. Gokhale that the Italy-flagged tanker, Enrica Lexie, was not in Indian waters when the shooting incident occurred.
Echoing legal arguments made by the Italian government � which wants the two marines now facing serious charges in a Kerala court repatriated to face trial back home � he said the ship was in international waters 20.5 nautical miles off the Indian coast whereas India's territorial jurisdiction extended only up to 12 nautical miles. The ASG's assertion directly contradicts statements by high officials in Kerala as well as the Ministry of External Affairs, which rejected Rome's claim that an Indian court had no right to try its marines for the shooting.
�Are you saying that Kerala police have no jurisdiction to probe?,� the Bench asked the ASG. �It is very unfortunate and it can't be acceptable.  How can you take such a stand, when two Indian citizens have been killed?� it said. The ASG insisted this was the Centre's stand. The Bench then indicated that the detained ship be allowed to leave India after it imposed certain conditions.  .

Re: [www.keralites.net] The Salary

 

Dear Sabu,

After getting all these facility, even though some are not qualified enough to get a peons job, they indulge in scams where our money is spent on purchasing things at 10 times of its actual cost and auction our natural assets at one hundredths price, to earn lacs of crores and deposit in swiss/foreign banks.

That is the problem.

Thank you

[www.keralites.net] Meet Ramesh, a cowherd who now mans computers - Save this

 

  • Meet Ramesh, a cowherd who now mans computers
HAD you met Ramesh in September 2007, you'd have noticed the fear in his eyes. He was an outsider. He had come to Bangalore for the first time in his life. For the first two-and-a-half days in Bangalore, he never spoke to anyone. He sat in a corner in a room and asked everyone to leave him alone. 
Ramesh was a cowherd. He had never ever been to school. He didn't know to write his name in any language. His life was all about his buffaloes. His brothers and sisters were studying something  and they were able to read and write. He would stare at them blankly whenever they were reading books or singing songs. The only songs he knew were the ones that his mother had taught him.
Training, commitment and perseverance helped Ramesh turn his life around
Fun & Info @ Keralites.net Fun & Info @ Keralites.net
(LEFT) In Sep 2007, Ramesh could not read or write  and he was afraid of many things. 
(RIGHT) By Mar 2008, Ramesh had undergone a transformation so drastic, his mom did not recognise him!
 Ramesh's father used to drink quite often when Ramesh was a kid. Having seven children and looking after all of them   as a manual labourer it isn't easy even in a village. Ramesh's mother's routine was to see her children off to the farm in the morning and come back in the evening. She wasn't one who believed in miracles. Ramesh's biggest dream was to become a hero  which he saw sometimes in movies. He thought that heroes in movies had special gifts. They drove bikes and cars. They were powerful and could scare away goons. He could think of no other dream that would be worthy of dreaming. 

Ramesh's parents, when he was born, had thought that he was born dead. He hadn't moved for quite some time or cried. Hence, they'd assumed that he wasn't going to see the world at all. Somehow, he was found to be alive  just before being cremated as a still-born. Knowing this story had made Ramesh tough   from childhood.
Fun & Info @ Keralites.net
OCT 2007: Clear, determined and focussed, Ramesh started learning. As training progressed he also started speaking confidently within a group
At the interview for the training 
It was in 2007 June that I'd met Ramesh for the first time. He looked like everyone else whose roots are well entrenched in a village. Gruff, slightly afraid, conscious and not very forthcoming at all. I asked him to say �My name is Ramesh.� He couldn't pronounce it properly. He tried for half an hour and couldn't say it properly. I was confused as to whether to select him for the training. 

I asked him to sit in a corner of the interview room and practise. After about two hours, when all the interviews were over, we asked him to leave. He stood up, stretched his hands for a handshake and said, �My name is Ramesh. �Tenk' you.� Me and my colleagues  made up our mind to select him! 

Beginning of Ramesh's transformation
In the first few days of the training, Ramesh found it extremely difficult to learn alphabets. P's and Q's would look the same to him. He would also find it difficult to remember all the keys on the keyboard. He constantly had headache. One day, he got lost in a bus in Bangalore  with no money. He didn't know how to use toilets  since he always used the open grounds as his toilet. He didn't know how to shake hands because he had never done it. Ramesh was scared  of touching a computer, of talking to people, of travelling on a bus, of studying with girls. 

Ramesh and his friends
However, Ramesh was determined and clear about his goals. Slowly, Ramesh started learning. He had nine more people with him  Megharaj, Chandru, Hemanna, Chandana, Divyashree, Jayaraj, Uttam, Neelamma and Raghavendra to accompany him on this journey.
Fun & Info @ Keralites.net
PEER LEARNING Ramesh and his nine colleagues had set out to do something that was considered impossible in their villages - learn and aspire or a different way of life. But some did succeed.
Ramesh and his nine colleagues had set out to do something that was considered impossible in their villages. Two of them, Neelamma and Raghavendra, ped out in the initial stages. However, the other eight, including Ramesh, started learning together. In the first few days, there were many instances when they would be petrified with a few things during the training.

One day, as I was entering the training room, Megharaj's computer screen had turned upside down. Megharaj was trembling with fear. When I asked how this had happened none of them wanted to really answer that. Somehow, after some coaxing, I figured out that Megharaj had accidentally pressed some buttons on the keyboard. And they had concluded that they have messed up the machine. The fear of the unknown was to be seen to be believed. 

Ramesh found it difficult even to speak in English in the beginning. Reading and writing looked extremely difficult. Slowly, as he got used to the new language and the environment, he became more and more comfortable to speak in English. He also started speaking confidently with his friends. Slowly, he started sharing his previous struggles in his life with his friends. 

What made him tick?
Ramesh was interested in drama  he slowly started acting out drama and songs with his friends. He also became confident enough to start acting out simple sentences in English as well.
Fun & Info @ Keralites.net
SUCCESS BECKONS THE BRAVE Ramesh's story is too good to die. Seen here at the CNN-IBN show where he recounts his tale with Mukesh Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Industries
As he became more confident, he started using the computers, slowly started opening the Internet. Once he learnt how to Google, it became his best friend. He tried to search everything in Google, though in the beginning he would only understand what was in pictures. 

For Ramesh and his friends, reading small paragraphs and trying to understand them became an obsession. They started reading stories, newspaper articles. Slowly, they started interacting with strangers  by speaking a few sentences in English. They started becoming more and more confident as they spoke more and more. Slowly, the confidence was building.  

Taking the centre stage 
Ramesh's first test came after about five months of training. This was a �Show and Tell Session'. Ramesh was supposed to showcase what he had learnt to a group of dignitaries who were eager to know how Ramesh and his colleagues had fared. Ramesh practised the whole night before the session. 

He had practised every word he was supposed to speak. Ramesh came out trumps  he truly stood there and spoke  for the first time on stage and in English  this was the beginning of a new future  where he started believing that he might just be able to stand up and become something in his life.

The big leap !  
Ramesh, after about six months of training, went back to his home for his brother's wedding. His mother, who hadn't seen him for over six months, couldn't recognize him. She had to be shown his identity card where his earlier photo was printed to truly believe that it was her son, Ramesh! 
Head Held High Foundation

It identifies the communities, selects vulnerable youths, puts them through a six-month unique training programme and gets them employed either in its own subsidiary Village BPO or elsewhere.  For more information log on to www.head-held-high.org

Ramesh's first �job'! 
After his training, Ramesh could type at 60 words per minute - he was �employed' and started his first job! This was something he could not have even dreamed of before.

On CNN IBN  National TV
Recently, Ramesh bought home a new television set  to help the people at his home watch him on television. Ramesh was seen on TV sharing the stage with the likes of people like Asha Bhosle, Anil Kumble, and so on  who were surprised and excited to hear about Ramesh's story. Industrialist  Mukesh Ambani, asked him at the end of Ramesh's speech  �How did you learn all this so fast?!� 

Ramesh, an inspiration! 
Ramesh is now like a torchbearer  who brings hopes to the lives of many more people like him in his village. And there, a lot of people, including people who have much more formal education than him, look up to him! His dream is to empower thousands more like him!
