lack of sleep and its consequences

LESS SLEEP LEADS TO CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES: A study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that a sleep deficit built up over just five nights could significantly stress the heart. Chronic sleep deprivations can stress the heart and raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. The neurological and behavioural effects of long term sleep loss have been well-documented which leads to lowered concentration and hand eye co-ordination to poor mood. The findings show that the shift workers are at higher risk for heart disease due to the fact that they get less sleep because of the disruption in their sleep-wake rhythms. This shows the importance of sleep. Sleep at night will be the actual sound sleep rather than sleeping in the day time.
So do watch your sleep pattern to get rid of heart related diseases. Take Care...

Playing is fun...

I always enjoy playing. I had and i still have so many good number of friends in my apartments to play with me. I have friend in my apartments who is 2yrs old and really an enthuaistic company of mine. Whenever i feel like life is bouring or when i feel sad she gives enoromus amount of energy. Playing, though it reflects some games like shuttle, tennis, etc., ITS JUST LOCK AND KEY, CARDS, JUMPING for us. I do play shuttle with my other friends in apartments. We almost play everyday. Just as I was playing shuttle today I thought of publishing a post in my blog. I really feel very energitic and I feel like getting back my school days. All my friends are actually school goers. But I don't care. What all I need is a good company to play.Thats it. Most of the people in out apartments oppose us playing. They never understand onething, students nowadays never have time to play which is actually a sort of excercise. I still wonder seeing my grandma who is above 70 who is healthy and I'm sure its because she used to fetch water from long distance and she was supposed to a lot of household activities. In my point of view, Children must have some activities apart from their studies. It can be in any of the forms.

My Diary.....

I happened to read an article(MEMORIES OF ANOTHER DAY) in the young world dated june 9, which is about a girl during Hitler's period. Hitler conquered Holland where she actually lived in the secret annexe hoping they(her family) would escape. During that time, a diary her parents had gifted became her good friend. Later she died and her papers were protected which was really moving. To tell writing is fun and it depends on interest. I once started writing diary when i was in class 8. But not more than an year I could continue. For the first week i found it very interesting and slowly my interest started fading. I found it to be irritating to write daily as if it was a home work. At that time i wanted to tell everyone that i m a diary user. But the truth was, I didn't write out of real interest. As soon as i read this article I remembered how i started writing diary and how i gave up. If any of you are diary writers share what you feel about diary writing. Atleast I can see how many of you feel like me and how many of have real interest.
Good Day...

Dora Buji

One of my favourite shows in chuti tv is Dora Buji.Dora is actually a small girl and buji is a monkey.It is entertaining as well as educative for children. Altogether it is edutainment. In each show they get into some trouble like missing their bag, crossing a bridge,trecking,reaching chocolate tree for which there will be some puzzle to be solved. I really appriciate the way they made the movie. sometime Dora speaks English and she asks the viewers(children)to repeat. Not only that but also telling numbers. This makes the children to let them know new things. Time being as far as they are small kids there is no problem.But when they start their studies, Television should not distract.May be for entertainment it can be viewed. But whatever, this program is really very entertaining and sometimes sidesplitting.Imagination and projecting what they had imagined is really perfect as far as this program concerned.I'm sure children enjoy watching this program(me2!!!!!!!!!!).

airtel super singer

i always have passion to music. recently you all might have seen AIRTEL SUPERSINGER-2008 where i could see enchanting and wonderful judges mr.unnikrishnan,mr.srinivas,mrs.sujatha, intelligent voice trainer mr.ananth vidiyanathan ,interesting mr&mrs vasudevan nair and the contestants.ranjani's ellimination was really a very unfortunate thing. she is really a wonderful singer.the main aim is to introduce a new young singer in the play back industry. i think the comments given by the judges and the training given by the voice trainer helped them a lot to reveal their potential and confidence.
However my favourite singer is mr.consistent Ravi. he is a versatile and fantastic singer. ranjani, renu both have a very beautiful honey like voice. ajeesh also has a very nice voice and is a very good singer. I know its too late to discuss about this reality show but however since just now i created this blog i m posting this. onbehalf of the music lovers i convey my wishes to all the contestants and to airtel super singer mr.ajeesh a very all the best to have a nice and bright future.

global warming

The rise of global warming could cause cities run out of water, says Steven Chu, who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics a decade ago. Decreases in snow and glacier melt - major sources for water - have some wondering about global warming's impact and has spurred an increase in pushing for ocean desalinization technology.

• The effects of global warming already are being seen, as some rivers now become dry in the summertime, and the snow and glacier melt in the Himalayas has declined.
• The Sierra Nevada mountain range of California will see its snowpack decline by between 30 to 70 percent by the year 2100.
• Warming prevents snow and rain from being stored in the mountains, meaning that while some areas will see an increase in snow, it will be wasted as run-off water.
• The impact of the Sierra Nevadas losing water could mean that Californian agriculture will be disrupted, and that later people may migrate away from The Golden State.
• The increased attention on global warming has caused some companies to invest further in desalinizing seawater for human consumption.
• "(Water) is probably the first thing that will hit home," Chu said. "The water storage problem is becoming a mess."

With global warming, the loss of usable water will be one of the greatest impacts on the human race.

charkravakam raga

This is the 16th Mela raga which is said to be a "sarva kalika "mela with scope for sancharas in all the 3 sthayis. The equivalent raga in the Hindusthani music is called rag 'Ahirbhairav'. A very popular raga used for singing songs, evoking karuna rasa as well as pathos. Some of the popular kritis in this raga are;
Sugunamule jeppukOnti & Etula brotuvo teliya of Sri. ThyagarajaGajananayutam ganeswaram of Sri. DikshitarPara devataye of Sri. Papanasam SivanOru pozhudu mirucharana nEsa & Apakara Nindaipattu...Thirupukazh Pibhare Ramarasam rasane - Sri. Sadasiva Brahmendral (this song is sung in the rag Ahirbhairav a Hindusthani raga)
It is heard that, Sri. Maha Vaidhyanatha Iyer was an expert to sing this raga . He got the title "maha" after singing this raga, when he was just 12 years old boy.
Rag Vegavahini is the name given for this raga by Sri. Dikshitar and in the arohana alone it has the vakra swara (srgmpdnds). It is also believed that rag Vegavahini existed earlier than rag Chakravakom. The song "Kailasanadam" is composed in the raga Vegavahini by Sri. Dikshitar.
Ragam Chakravakom is also a murchana mela. When the notes MA and Ni are taken as Shadjam for sruti bedam, you get the ragas Sarasangi and Dharmavathi, respectively. This raga evokes lot of emotions out of Bhakti and may be the reason lot of Bhajan songs are sung in this raga. The popular Abhang "Teertha Vittala Kshetra Vittala" is an example.
This raga has been often used widely in the Film music, especially in olden days by our well known music directors. The song "Ezhu malai Andavane" in the film 'Kalyanam panni par' and the song "Ullattil nalla ullam urangadenpadu" in the film 'Karnan' and the song "Daivattin pereduttu" in the film 'Pattum Bharatamum' are examples for popularity of this rag in films. I give below a link where you can listen to a detailed demonstration of this raga by Madurai Sri. G.S.Mani Iyer.
