In Sickness and In Health

Behind every unhealthy man there may be an overworked woman

A University of Chicago sociology professor showed that when a wife worked more than 40 hours a week, her husband's chances of staying healthy declined by 25 percent.

Conversely, when a husband worked more than 40 hours a week, his wife's health was not affected. In fact, it was only when a man worked less than 16 hours a week that the health of both husband and wife deteriorated.

"Wives arrange more social contact for their husbands than husbands arrange for themselves," Stolzenberg explains. But working women have less time to arrange social outings, and social contact reduces stress—which is crucial to good health.

So how can husbands stay healthy when their wives work? "They can just spend more time with their friends," Stolzenberg says.

When a mobile phone landed its owner in jail

 

Nokia Care penalised by consumer forum for deficiency in service

BANGALORE: When Abdul Hamid, a resident of R.T. Nagar bought a mobile phone handset for his wife, little did he imagine that the device would land her in a police station and him in the consumer court.

After a prolonged battle with the manufacturer of the handset, Mr. Hamid won the day with the Third Additional Bangalore Urban District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum asking Nokia Care, the Service Centre of Nokia mobile phones here, to refund Abdul Hamid Rs. 3,332, the cost of the handset, and pay a compensation of Rs. 50,000 on various counts, including excess billing and causing mental agony.

Mr. Hamid bought the mobile phone for exclusive use of his wife who lives with his family in New Delhi. When she got her first bill for April 2006 she found that some messages have been sent to numbers unknown to her. The Nokia Care Centre at Sector 5, New Delhi, said it was a software problem and said it had rectified it.

Matters took an alarming turn with Mr. Hamid receiving a phone call from the Delhi police saying it had arrested his wife and children. They were arrested on a complaint by one Manish stating that his wife was receiving vulgar messages from Mr. Hamid's wife's mobile phone. Mr. Hamid had to go to Delhi and explain to the police and Mr. Manish about the software problem related to the mobile phone. He managed to persuade Mr. Manish to withdraw the complaint.

The handset was taken to the same Nokia Care Centre, the software was again updated and Mr. Hamid was advised to change the SIM card, which he did at a cost of Rs. 1,200. But the problem continued with hundreds of SMSs being automatically sent to national and international numbers.

A call even went to the Connaught Place police station, New Delhi.

Mr. Hamid then gave the mobile phone for servicing to another authorised centre in Vasant Nagar in Bangalore. He switched over to a BSNL SIM card but the problem continued.

At the end of his tether, he gave the handset to the Nokia Care Centre on Infantry Road here and sought a replacement. When he did not get it even after two weeks, he filed a complaint with the forum.

The Nokia Care authorities did not appear before the forum.

Upholding Mr. Hamid's contention, forum president N. Srivathsa Kedilaya and member Subhashini observed in their order that the conduct of Nokia Care amounted to deficiency in service. They found that the servicing centre had also illegally retained the handset without providing or suggesting any remedy.

The forum then ordered Nokia Care to refund the cost of the handset and pay the compensation to Mr. Hamid.

good video with subtitles and song information

Mile sur mera tumharaa lyrics

"Mile sur mera tumhaara" was a national integration video was created in 1988 by Lok Seva Sanchar Parishad promoted by Doordarshan and India's Ministry of Information. It quickly captivated millions in India, gaining near anthem status. It is also one of my favourite songs. Here are the lyrics to the same.

 

Mile sur mera tumharaa, Thoo sur bane hamaraa.... sur kee nadhiyaan

Chaain taraj tahin nyay taraj

Tera sur mile mere sur de naal

Mile sur mera tumharaa....tho sur bane hamaara..

Mohnja sur tohi desa pyara mile jadein geet ashaanjo madhur tarano

Oh...Mile sur mera tumhara tho....sur bane hamara...

Rape-murder of Wipro BPO employee shocks Pune

A shocking case of rape and murder of a BPO employee has thrown a question mark over safety for women working in call centres once again.

Two men were arrested in Pune on Saturday in connection with rape and murder of 22-year-old Jyoti Choudhry who was working for Wipro's call centre Spectramind in the city.

Jyoti’s body was found late on Friday evening at Wadgaon, off the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. The men are said to have been working for a logistics company which used to supply vehicles to the call centre.

Deputy commissioner of police (crime) Chandrashekhar Daithankar confirmed reports that Jyoti had left for office in the pick-up vehicle on November 1 at 2200 hrs (IST), but went missing after that.

Police came to know about the incident it at 1600 hrs (IST) the following day after her relatives lodged a complaint.

“Inquiry and investigation reveal she was picked up by the driver and his associate on November 1. They used the ploy of picking up another employee and took the girl to a nearby village and then murdered her,” said Daithankar.

Meanwhile, Wipro, in a press statement, expressed regret over the tragic incident .

"We deeply regret the demise of our employee Jyoti Kumari Choudhary. The police investigation is in progress. We are providing all possible assistance to the police and are not in a position to share further information at this point. We are extending support to Jyoti's family, and hope you will respect their need for privacy during their time of grief," the statement said.

In December 2005, a woman employee at Bangalore’s Hewlett Packard's call centre was allegedly raped and then murdered.

Her body was found on the outskirts of Bangalore three days after she went missing. Police eventually arrested a driver of the company, K Shivakumar. He is accused of kidnapping her after picking her up in the office car.

After Pratibha’s murder, BPOs and call centres across the country were asked to tighten their own security for women employees.

When President, Nasscom, Kiran Karnik was asked if Friday's incident was a failure on Nasscom's part to curb the menace that women call centre employees face, he said, "It's majorly due to increasing criminalisation. We need to get to zero crime. This incident has nothing to do with the fact that it's BPO. It's majorly to do with growing working culture for women.”

He, however, added that the BPO industry is aware of the threat and is taking acute steps to tighten security.

"There are various steps that can be taken. One is that women should not be the first or last ones to be picked or dropped. Second is to make use of technology and third to put a security guard in the cabs. In this case I don't know the details. All I can say is that it’s a terrible tragedy,” said Karnik.

In April 2007, Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) had suggested certain measures for the safety of women who work late and use public transport.

Assocham had recommended foolproof security arrangements using the Global Positioning System or GPS technology. The industry association had particularly mentioned cities like Delhi, Chandigarh, Chennai, Bangalore and Pune.

The Compulsive Confessor

Brazen from the beginning, the young Bombay-based blogger decided to call her internet journal "The Compulsive Confessor", issuing a titillating invitation to share even the most intimate details of her life.

In breezy postings, the 25-year-old girl-about-town – India's answer to Bridget Jones – told thousands of readers of her partying, smoking and binge drinking, along with candid musings about sexual techniques and escapades.

Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan writes her Sex and the City-style blog under the pseudonym "EM", aware that although her material would not seem outrageous to a British audience, in India sex remains a taboo and anti-obscenity laws are strict.Earlier this year, the actor Richard Gere sparked angry street protests for kissing Shilpa Shetty, the Bollywood star, during an anti-Aids event.

A senior Indian political leader recently denounced sex education as an evil that would "corrupt" children. Murli Manohar Joshi, the former minister for human resources development, said it would lead to an "immoral society".Although Madhaven's true identity is known among the chattering classes of Delhi and Bombay, on her blog she drops only tantalising clues: 5ft 3in tall, a Sagittarian "only child, from India's English-speaking/educated elite" who does "pretty much as I please, not hampered by my gender".even he has been called "slut" and "bitch" in comments posted on her blog, yet she cares little for traditional ideas about demure and submissive behaviour.

"There are people who love to hate you, just because you're a woman," she muses online. "Just because you write about going out and having fun because, 'God forbid an Indian woman should have any fun'.She chats boldly about trips to the gynecologist, swigging Bailey's from the bottle, and the phallic-shaped cake at a friend's hen night.Fittingly for a creature of the internet age, when EM recently found a boyfriend – whom she nicknamed "Volt" for his energy – she announced it first on Facebook, the social networking site."Volt" does not read her blog; nor would she want him to.

"He knows I've written about my past boyfriends, so I think it would be a bit awkward for him," she told The Sunday Telegraph. Does she worry that men might be put off by her explicit blog? "I suppose I'm aware of that, but if they're put off, that's their problem," she reflected. "It's who I am."Madhavan, a Delhi-born writer for a news magazine, Outlook, launched The Compulsive Confessor during a dull day at the office in 2004.While her critics grow daily more scandalised, her thousands of fans believe she is changing the face of modern Indian womanhood.

Her blog is among the most popular in India, receiving 400-500 hits a day, although only two per cent of India's 1.1?billion population have internet access.Unsurprisingly perhaps, the publisher Penguin India has commissioned Madhavan to write a semi-autobiographical novel, hoping she will rival the success of Candace Bushnell, the American author of Sex and the City, in giving voice to a new generation.

Her book, due out early next year, promises to be racier than previous Indian chick-lit novels, yet some Indians believe that will not help sales. A fellow blogger, who did not wish to be identified, said: "She has a dedicated following but I'm sure a lot are voyeuristic men seeking titillation. I find it a bit superficial myself."Meanwhile, Madhavan is apprehensive that news of her real identity will spread even further when the book is published, making it harder to be frank in her internet journal.

"It will be harder to write when you're no longer anonymous," she said.Will she carry on? "My blog is an integral part of my life but it's not my life," she said.

"I'd be upset if it vanished tomorrow, but I wouldn't be heartbroken." The Compulsive Confessor, it seems, is defiant to the last.

Inside Karen's Crowded Mind

By Anne Underwood | NEWSWEEK

Oct 29, 2007 Issue

http://www.newsweek.com/id/57343

Even for a psychiatric patient, Karen Overhill seemed unusually devoid of hope on the day in 1989 she walked into the Chicago office of Dr. Richard Baer. As weeks of therapy grew into months, antidepressants didn't help her, at least not consistently. She was suicidal—and the flat, emotionless way she stated her wish to die made Baer fear that she might actually follow through. Eventually, Karen began to volunteer stories of childhood abuse. And she mentioned odd memory lapses. She would find herself in strange places with no awareness of how she'd gotten there. She couldn't even remember having had sex with her husband, although she must have, since they had two children.

Baer suspected a much deeper problem than the depression and suicidal thoughts Karen admitted to. Still, he kept his speculation to himself during the first four years of therapy, for fear of planting ideas in Karen's mind. He waited for her to volunteer the information, and in a way, she finally did. In November 1993, an envelope with Karen's return address arrived in the mail. Inside was a single sheet of lined paper and a letter written in a child's penciled scrawl. "My name is Claire," it began. "I am 7 years old. I live inside Karen."

The remarkable medical journey that ensued is the subject of Baer's new book, "Switching Time." It recounts the 17-year course of Karen's therapy in all its painful detail and sheds new light on multiple personality disorder (MPD), the controversial illness that afflicted her. (Karen Overhill is a pseudonym Baer created to protect his patient and her family.) The book describes the challenges Baer faced as more and more of Karen's alter egos emerged—men, women and children—a total of 17, each with his or her own character traits, mental problems and agenda. Baer had to get to know them all, then persuade them to wipe out their individual identities by merging into one. It was the defining case of his career—and one that may have saved Karen's life.

But was Karen's disorder real? There have been allegations that some purported MPD sufferers were just publicity seekers. Yet Baer doesn't have the slightest doubt. As he points out, there are easier ways to gain notoriety than 17 years of therapy. And how could a poseur have maintained each alter's distinct memories, personality, voice and mannerisms for years, never mixing them up? "Meryl Streep couldn't have done it," he says. The alters even wrote him letters in different handwriting.

Still, it's easy to see why MPD remains controversial. Although the condition has been observed for 200 years—and is officially recognized by the American Psychiatric Association under the formal name "dissociative identity disorder"—it is rare enough that most therapists never treat a case. Some psychiatrists doubt that it exists at all, claiming it is the product of suggestion. In some cases, they're probably right. The 1973 best seller "Sybil" led to a wave of diagnoses by therapists who didn't really understand the condition. One psychiatric hospital in Maryland "had a whole ward with patients—some male, some female, some mooing like cows or barking like dogs," says Dr. Paul McHugh, former chair of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins and a leading skeptic. It didn't help that both the made-for-TV movie version of "Sybil," which starred Sally Field, and the 1957 film "The Three Faces of Eve" gave exaggerated portrayals of radical personality shifts, which made MPD seem more bizarre than believable—or that the disorder was later enmeshed in the controversy over false "recovered memories" of childhood abuse. MPD became an embarrassing diagnosis in the psychiatric community.

But it didn't go away. Dr. Frank Putnam—who has studied the condition extensively, first at the National Institute of Mental Health and now at Cincinnati Children's Hospital—continues to receive calls from psychiatrists around the country who are stunned when a patient of theirs turns out to have the disorder. "There's nothing like seeing a patient who has it to make you believe," he says. Today there are clearer diagnostic criteria and a better understanding of the causes. The condition, says Dr. Herbert Speigel, who occasionally treated Sybil during her therapist's absence, is "real, but rare."

That's a good thing, given the way it's believed to begin. According to psychiatrists, MPD arises primarily in children who are subjected to severe physical, sexual and emotional abuse. Having no other escape, they create different personalities to handle different parts of their troubled lives—then wall the personalities off from one another with mental barriers, so that no single persona has to handle too much. "As a child, if Daddy is about to do bad things to you, you say, 'I'll go to my secret place where it's not happening to me, but to some other little girl'," says Putnam.

To a lesser extent, the same thing happens routinely to trauma victims when they experience numbing, detachment and even out-of-body experiences. "Rape victims often say that during the rape, they saw themselves floating above the person, feeling sorry for her," says Dr. David Spiegel, associate chair of psychiatry at Stanford and co-editor of a new textbook on traumatic dissociation. The difference is that adults who detach themselves in this way usually reintegrate later. Chronically abused children may not, because their sense of identity is still malleable—and because the trauma is so persistent.

The abuse Karen Overhill endured, as described in Baer's book, was almost inhuman. While she was still in grade school, her father and grandfather subjected her to late-night, quasi-religious rituals, in which they strapped her to tables and told her she was evil. Saying that "God wanted her to suffer," they stuck her with pins and violated her prepubescent body with electric cattle prods, screwdrivers, knives and even crucifixes. They shut her into coffins. They dunked her in cold water. Her mother, who seemed incapable of acknowledging the atrocities, maintained deniability by taking a night job. It is impossible to verify these accounts, but in 1993, Karen's father was convicted on 19 counts of sexually molesting his granddaughter, Karen's niece.

The creation of separate alters may seem a bizarre way to cope, but it's not as if patients imagine themselves as Cleopatra or Napoleon. Each persona handles a different aspect of the sufferer's life. As Baer explains in his book, an alter named Claire would emerge when Karen was dragged from bed at night, so that Karen had little memory of the abuse the next day. When the torture began, Miles would take over. As a boy, he couldn't be violated in the same way and therefore couldn't fully absorb it mentally. Elise was created so that Karen could go to school the next day and act normal, having donned long pants and sleeves to cover the bruises. Sidney was the ball-playing child who related to Karen's father as if nothing was amiss, allowing Karen to survive in a household where, as a young girl, she was dependent on her dad. Lacking decent parents of her own, Karen even created Katherine and Holdon to be the responsible adults in her life, modeling them on figures she saw in sitcoms like "Father Knows Best" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show." The alters would come and go as needed, taking over Karen's conscious thoughts. When she regained awareness, all she knew was that she had "lost time."

This system protected Karen as a child, but in her late 20s, she descended into a deep depression that sent her to Dr. Baer. The key to treatment was reintegrating the alters into the single personality Karen has today. It was a painstaking process, convincing each alter to merge, but it worked. With each reintegration, says Baer, Karen acquired that alter's memories and character traits—strength, humor, compassion, anger. With each one, she became a more colorful, complete version of herself. Still, she was fragile. It took an additional eight years of therapy to build up her self- esteem. Today, meeting with a reporter in her midwestern apartment, she projects warmth, openness and a remarkable lack of rancor. Her alters would be proud.

road safety

Today i learned an important lesson while travelling in the bus on my journey from trivandrum to bangalore. The bus had crossed nager coil and i saw the lady sitting right behind me throwing a bag of waste onto the road. This was on the right side of the vehicle right onto oncoming traffic. The bag missed the guy who was coming in a cycle from the opposite direction. There are two things to learn from here. When you are in a moving bus, do not throw articles out of the bus. Two is that when you drive(you could have been the cycle rider) drive defensively so that you are ready to escape even if some blockheaded guy throws out something onto the road.

one day at the training centre

Today was my first day at the training course for getting prepared for marriage. It was with great difficulty that i came for this marriage. I generally hate training classes . But throwing all my expectations to thin air todays classes were very entertaining. Each class just got getting better and better. I was expecting a drab and boring class from a group of boring priest(they generally are a boring lots)

the first class was by rev father nicholas t. His was a high tech presentation using power point from his laptop. He introduced up to the whole course. He explained from points from the bible how to approach marriage. He urged people not to go for marriage and to leave if they cant follow by what he said. His use of the visual media kept the audience attention.

the next person was a father in plain clothes . Fr alex i think. He was explaini for the next hour the meaning of each part of the holy mass. Half of the time he was making some jokes or explaining some unrelated things and at the end of the class he had finished explaining only the first five minutes of the holy mass.

the last person for today gave a lecture so entertaining that for a second i thought it a stand up comedy show. The person was a clinical psychologist. He talked about how peoples tastes are different and how adjusting to others beliefs and habits is very important. His was one of the most entertaining classes i have ever attended.

the only downside is the very strict atmosphere here. If you are a minute late to class after the bell rings your name will be noted down by the good looking nun. And you may have to attend that class the next time to get the certificate.

FW: Stock Market

 

The Stock Market simply illustrated.... is there a lesson here?

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at Rs10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at Rs20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to Rs25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it.

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Rs35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs50." The villagers squeezed up with all their savings to buy the monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!! !! -




Welcome to the stock Market!!!!!

Old man joke

 

A 90-year-old man was having his annual checkup.
The doctor asked him how he was feeling.
"I've never been better," the old man replied. "I've got an eighteen-year-old bride who's pregnant & delivered a child. What is your opinion about that, Doc?" the old man asked.
The doctor thought for a moment,then said, "Well, let me tell you a story. I know a guy who is an hunter. He never misses a season for hunting. But,one day he's in a bit of a hurry and he accidentally grabs his umbrella instead of his gun. The doctor continued, "So he's walking in the woods near a creek,and suddenly he spots a lion in some brush in front of him. He raises up his umbrella, points it at the lion and squeezes the handle.
BAM! The lion drops dead in front of him."
"That's impossible!" said the old man in disbelief. Someone else must have shot that lion."

"Exactly"... Said the Doc.

The onlookers soon began to gather at the spot. Fearing an attack, the driver ran away. People then asked the 30-odd Wipro employees in the bus to get down.

They later set the vehicle on fire. Two fire tenders were rushed to spot to extinguish the fire.

The Madiwala traffic police have registered a case and are making efforts to identify the victim. The police are yet to get in touch with the private bus operator to get the details about the driver.

Traffic disrupted

The traffic on one side of the busy Hosur Road was disrupted for nearly an hour. The traffic was diverted for sometime on the service road.

Passing an exam

 

Three patients in a mental institution prepare for an examination given by the head psychiatrist.

If the patients pass the exam, they will be free to leave the hospital. However, if they fail, the institution will detain them for five years.

The doctor takes the three patients to the top of a diving board looking over an empty swimming pool, and asks the first patient to jump.

The first patient jumps head first into the pool and breaks both arms.

Then the second patient jumps and breaks both legs.

The third patient looks over the side and refuses to jump.

"Congratulations! You're a free man. Just tell me why didn't you jump?" asked the doctor.

To which the third patient answered, "Well Doc, I can't swim!"

Argentina Vs Brazil (Ad campaign during the World Cup)

 

Before the football match between Argentina and Brazil, an Argentinean condom company came up with this ad (image 1) to show the Brazilians what they were going to do to them.

Brazil won the match and their Football organisation replied to the ad (image 2) (see the pics sideways)

Tracking flights through Google maps. It has a very good interface.

Another good flight tracking site. It has a standalone window which keeps tracking the flight. But the tracker is not as good as the flightstats tracker. Tracks only flights inbound and outbound to north american airrport.

Celebrity Urine therapy

This one goes to my new list of my new BIG ideas.

The story goes like this. I was inviting one of my friends to my house, when he asked: "what will you give me if i come to my house" .
I said "I will give you urine therapy. I have bottles of medicine stored up just for you"
he says: " i dont mind urine therapy as long as it is sharon stone's".

TRINGG... idea strikes me.
We will set up a big store where we will be storing up clebrity urine samples. Some of them will be stored in huge cans underground so that thy can be used after 10-15 years(at that time it will worth much more!!)

I am looking for retailers, dealers, and sample collectors who are interested in this.

From glamour world to penury

Fallen star: Geetanjali Nagpal being taken to the VIMHANS Hospital in Delhi.

New Delhi: Hers is a journey from the glitter of the fashion world to utter destitution.

Found begging on the streets of the capital, ex-model Geetanjali Nagpal now has nowhere to go with her family disowning her and government agencies floundering in finding a shelter for her and taking hours to decide on how to rehabilitate her.

Ms. Nagpal (32), who once walked the ramps for top designers, was found by a photojournalist begging at a market in posh South Delhi on Friday.

The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) swung into action and took her to the VIMHANS Hospital, where doctors diagnosed her as suffering from fear psychosis and said she had to be hospitalised.

However, the VIMHANS refused to admit her saying a case had to be registered first.

DCW chairperson Barkha Singh took Ms. Nagpal to the Hauz Khas police station. However, the police did not register a case after which the ex-model was taken to the court of the Metropolitan Magistrate.

With her matted hair, dirty clothes and unwashed look, Ms. Nagpal, however, said: “I was only asking, not begging.”

There was some drama outside the hospital as Ms. Nagpal refused to leave the car and go inside for a check-up. Doctors then came to the car and spoke to her.

Daughter of a Navy officer, Ms. Nagpal graduated from Lady Shri Ram College. She left home in 1990 and took to modelling full time. Ms. Nagpal went from Delhi to Mumbai, but her career failed to take off. — PTI
