सपने मे अपनी मौत को करीब से देखा....😓

कफ़न में लिपटे तन जलते अपने शरीर को देखा.....😭

खड़े थे लोग हाथ बांधे एक कतार में...

कुछ थे परेशान कुछ उदास थे .....

पर कुछ छुपा रहे अपनी मुस्कान थे..

दूर खड़ा देख रहा था मैं ये सारा मंजर.....

.....तभी किसी ने हाथ बढा कर मेरा हाथ थाम लिया ....

और जब देखा चेहरा उसका तो मैं बड़ा हैरान था.....

हाथ थामने वाला कोई और नही...मेरा भगवान था...

चेहरे पर मुस्कान और नंगे पाँव था....

जब देखा मैंने उस की तरफ जिज्ञासा भरी नज़रों से.....

तो हँस कर बोला....

"तूने हर दिन दो घडी जपा मेरा नाम था.....

आज प्यारे उसका क़र्ज़ चुकाने आया हूँ...।"

रो दिया मै.... अपनी बेवक़ूफ़ियो पर तब ये सोच कर .....

जिसको दो घडी जपा

वो बचाने आये है...

और जिन मे हर घडी रमा रहा

वो शमशान पहुचाने आये है....

तभी खुली आँख मेरी बिस्तर पर विराजमान था.....

कितना था नादान मैं हकीकत से अनजान था....

12 Warning Signs That You're Not Drinking Enough Water

1. You get headaches for no reason.
Well, you may not know the reason, but it could be dehydration. The next time you get a headache, drink lots of water, wait 10 minutes and then eat something. Your headache may just disappear.

2. You get hungry even though you’ve just eaten.
Your brain often confuses the signals for hunger and thirst, so when you think you’re hungry, you could actually be thirsty.

3. You often feel tired and lethargic.
When you don’t drink enough water, your body is forced to slow down in order to conserve energy and resources, making you feel tired, sleepy and lethargic.

4. You have trouble concentrating.
Over 70% of the brain is made up of water. When you’re dehydrated, brain function slows down and it becomes difficult for you to focus or concentrate.

5. Your skin tends to get dry.
If your skin is always dry and your lips are always chapped, and it doesn't seem to be due to the weather, it could be because you’re not drinking enough water. If you want soft and smooth skin, make it a point to drink plenty of water.

6. Your pee is very yellow.
This is a little bit gross, but make it a habit to peek into the pot every time you finish peeing. If your urine is clear or pale yellow then you’re fine, but if it’s dark yellow or brown then you need to drink water immediately.

7. Your digestive system is acting up.
Acidity, indigestion and constipation could all be indicators of dehydration. Water keeps your digestive system moving and prevents constipation. It also dilutes stomach acid, so without it you could suffer from acute acidity.

8. Your heart sometimes beats a little faster.
Rapid, fluttery heartbeats are a sign of dehydration.

9. You feel dizzy all of a sudden.
Dizziness can be caused by many different factors, like medication and lack of sleep, but dehydration is another prominent cause.

10. Your breath stinks.
When you’re dehydrated, your body doesn’t produce enough saliva. Saliva protects your teeth from harmful bacteria, but without it the bacteria get a chance to flourish.

11. Your mouth is often dry.
A dry mouth can indicate dehydration, so keep water nearby and sip it whenever you need to. A dry mouth could also be a side effect of medication, so don’t confuse the two.

12. Your muscles and joints hurt.

Water lubricates your muscles and joints, so lack of it can make movement painful!

10 reasons why you should eat walnuts every day!

Walnuts are usually avoided because of their high calorie content.
The fact is that they are very good for your physical, mental health and beauty.

The best part is that they can be consumed with whatever dish you are having, for example with oatmeal, salad or yogurt.

Here are 10 reasons why you should eat walnuts daily:

1. Helps weight loss


1. Studies suggest that regular consumption of walnuts will not lead to excessive weight gain.
The Omega-3 fats, protein and fibre present in walnuts infact induce satiety.
So if you are looking to lose weight, consider including walnuts in your diet.

2. Helps you sleep better

Walnuts contain a compound called melatonin. Consumption of walnuts increases the blood levels of melatonin which in turn induces sleep.
So try a few walnuts the next time you are insomniac instead of counting sheep like Count Dracula from Sesame Street.

3. Prevents hairfall

Walnuts prevent hairfall as they contain Vitamin B7. To know of more foods which prevent hairfall you can view our feature ’10 foods that prevent hairfall’.

4. Glowing skin

Vitamin B and antioxidants in walnuts prevent wrinkles.

So put those expensive creams aside and grab a fistful of walnuts instead.

5. Prevents heart disease

Walnuts contain high amount of antioxidants which help combat heart diseases.

Additionally, omega 3 fatty acids in walnuts also reduce bad cholesterol.

6. Prevents Dementia

According to a study, Vitamin E and flavonoids in walnuts help destroy harmful free radical chemicals that cause dementia.

7. Good for pregnant women

Allergies can be prevented in babies if pregnant women consume walnuts.
Walnuts can reduce a baby’s chance of developing food allergies.

8. Longer life
A study suggests that consuming walnuts thrice a week helps you live longer.

9. Reduces risk of breast cancer

Researchers have discovered through a study conducted on mice that walnuts if consumed daily, reduces the growth of breast cancer tumours.

10. Reduces stress

Researchers have found that including walnuts and walnut oil in the diet lowered blood pressure as they are a rich source of fibre, antioxidants, and unsaturated fatty acids.
These components give walnuts its stress fighting properties.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Medicinal Uses

Hydrogen peroxide is perhaps best known for its medicinal uses; this is after all why it tends to be sold in the pharmaceutical section of the store. Here are some commonly known medicinal uses for hydrogen peroxide as well as a few you probably aren’t aware of!
Clean and disinfect minor wounds


This is one of the most obvious uses. If you have hydrogen peroxide in your home, it may be the reason. The 3% solution you can buy at the drugstore can be applied directly to minor wounds to clean away dead tissue. It can halt minor bleeding, and can help to clear up infections or prevent infections from setting in. It is generally recommended to only apply the hydrogen peroxide once, since doing it too many times may also inhibit friendly bacteria which help to facilitate healing.
Get rid of acne and boils


While you are at it, if you have infected acne, you may be able to speed up the healing process by applying a little hydrogen peroxide to the infected sites. It will act just the same way it does on wounds, helping to kill the unwanted bacteria and cleanse the area. Just as with wounds, you do not want to overdo this! Just apply it once. If you apply it too many times, you will kill the good bacteria too.
Cure canker sores


If you have canker sores in your mouth, you may be able to get them to go away faster by swishing some hydrogen peroxide in your mouth. Combine it with water so that you don’t cause any irritation or blistering in your mouth (too high a concentration of hydrogen peroxide can do this in large amounts). Swish it around for half a minute or so, and then spit it out and rinse with fresh water.
Expunge bad breath


Can’t get rid of your bad breath by brushing your teeth? One great alternative to mouthwash for bad breath is hydrogen peroxide. Since hydrogen peroxide kills the unhealthy organisms in your mouth which cause bad breath, all it takes is half a minute of swishing to get bad breath to go away. You may be surprised how effective this is. In fact, if all you have is minor bad breath once in a while, just swishing with hydrogen peroxide once a week could mean you are good to go for the rest of the week. Just make sure you don’t overuse it, because it can kill good bacteria in your mouth too.
Fight foot fungus


Athlete’s foot is no fun! If you are tired of all that itching, you may find that hydrogen peroxide is a helpful antidote, thanks to its antifungal properties. This is largely an anecdotal use, but many people claim that they have successfully cured foot fungus infections just by applying a mixture comprised of equal parts water and hydrogen peroxide. While I have never tried this, I have applied it to my shower shoes to get rid of the fungus on the shower shoes. Doing this routinely seems to reduce the number of occasions where I end up getting it on my feet. This works pretty well as a preventative measure.
Treat colds


There is no cure for the common cold, and hydrogen peroxide is no exception to that rule. But there are things you can do to treat a common cold, and many people report that one great method is to put a couple drops of hydrogen peroxide in your ears. This can help to clear out any infection or blockage in your ear.
Get rid of an ear infection


While we’re at it, you can also use hydrogen peroxide drops in your ear to take on an ear infection. Just know that you may need medical attention; you cannot cure all ear infections on your own, and they can get serious. So don’t let this stop you from going to a doctor!
Clear out ear wax


Ear wax isn’t an infection, but it can certainly drive you crazy when it blocks up your ear so much you have trouble hearing! Just as you can use hydrogen peroxide drops to get rid of infections in your ear, you can also use it to clear up excess wax. Try adding a couple of drops of olive oil, and then follow it up with a couple drops of hydrogen peroxide. Keep your head tilted for about a minute, and then tilt it back the other way and let the mixture drain out. You may also want to gently flush your ear out with warm water.
Deal with a sinus infection


I would be cautious about this one (actually, personally I wouldn’t try it), but many people report success without any adverse effects. Mix 3% hydrogen peroxide with an equal part of water in order to dilute it, and then put it into a nasal spray container. Spray it into your nose and then blow it back out after a moment. This in theory will kill the sinus infection.
Tackle a toothache


Have an awful toothache, and can’t make it to the dentist right now? Try putting some hydrogen peroxide in your mouth mixed with water, and hold it there for a few minutes. Most people who use this method suggest that you hold it for ten minutes if you can. This reportedly relieves a significant amount of the pain. Some people even do this several times a day, but I caution you to avoid overuse, since you don’t want to kill the good bacteria in your mouth.
Take a detoxifying bath


If you want to give your bathwater a detoxifying boost, try adding two quarts of peroxide to your bathwater. Soak in the bath for half an hour. This can be a great idea if you are sick and want to make sure you emerge from the bathtub actually clean of germs.
Treat a yeast infection

If you use douching as a method to treat a yeast infection, try adding a couple capfuls of hydrogen peroxide to the mix. You may find that this controls or even cures your yeast infection.
Hygiene and Beauty Uses

Hydrogen peroxide has many uses for hygiene and beauty, and is a great supply to have handy in your bathroom. Some of these uses overlap with medicinal uses, since they have both a health and beauty effect.
Whiten your teeth


Remember earlier when I said you could use hydrogen peroxide as an effective mouthwash to get rid of bad breath? It has the other main benefit of mouthwash too, which is teeth whitening! Remember, peroxide acts as a bleaching agent. That means that swishing it around in your mouth helps to bleach your teeth too. I have noticed instantaneous results with this. If my teeth are looking a little yellow and I swish for just half a minute and spit, my teeth look significantly lighter right afterwards. Do this as a weekly routine and you will keep your smile looking bright.
Make a toothpaste


If you are not a fan of toothpaste that comes in a tube and has all kinds of questionable artificial ingredients, you can make your own toothpaste at home. You can do this using baking soda by itself, if you like, or you can make it even more effective by mixing baking soda with hydrogen peroxide. This also works great in a pinch if you simply forgot to put the toothpaste on your grocery store list before you headed to the supermarket.
Use it as a deodorant


Apparently this stuff works great as a deodorant if you mix it in a 1:2 ratio with dish soap, of all things. You are meant to leave it on for half an hour, and then rinse it off. I imagine that this would be rather unpleasant for about 30 minutes, since dish soap is frankly quite sticky. It may work well in a pinch though if you forgot to buy deodorant and just need to get ready before you head out somewhere for the evening.
Clean your contact lenses


Contact lenses can gradually accumulate a buildup of proteins over time. One way you can get rid of that buildup is to use a commercial lens cleaner—or you can just go with hydrogen peroxide! Hydrogen peroxide is the active ingredient in many lens cleaners as it is. It gets the job done quickly, easily and cheaply.
Whiten your nails


If you want to whiten your nails, you can do it the same way you can whiten teeth or hair—with hydrogen peroxide. Just soak some hydrogen peroxide into a cotton ball and dab it onto your nails. This can lighten them, making for a brighter appearance.
Cover your roots


Are the roots of your bleached blonde hair starting to show their dark, natural color while they grow? Dab on some hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for about half an hour, and then wash it out. This is often enough to conceal the roots (think of Margaret Houlihan from M*A*S*H*, who was always trying to hide the fact that she wasn’t a natural blonde, and was in fact using the hydrogen peroxide she’d stashed from the medical supplies to cover up her roots).
…or gradually lighten your hair


Covering your roots the quick and dirty way isn’t the only use for hydrogen peroxide in your hair. You can also use it to lighten your hair gradually over time. Mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water and add them to a spray bottle. Spray the solution into your hair, and then use a comb to help distribute it. Wait for it to dry, and that’s it. Just do this routinely, and your hair will gradually show blonde highlights. The nice thing about this is that it isn’t too harsh, and it also gives you control over how light you want to go, since you can just do it a little bit at a time (if you’ve ever used Sun-In lightener, this essentially works the same way using the same active ingredient plus some lemon juice).
Disinfect your toothbrushes


Now and again it’s a great idea to pour some hydrogen peroxide over your toothbrushes. This can help kill staph and other bacteria, which lessens the chance of it getting into (or getting back into) your mouth.
Soften calluses and corns


Have calluses and corns on your feet? You can soften them by soaking your feet in hydrogen peroxide and water.
Uses for Cleaning Around the House

Hydrogen peroxide as a disinfectant isn’t just useful on wounds or in your mouth; it is also very helpful for tackling surfaces around the home. This can help to prevent sickness or keep sickness from spreading. It can also get surfaces looking sparkling and clean!
Disinfect your countertops


In the bathroom, kitchen, and anywhere else in your house, you can quickly and easily disinfect your countertops using hydrogen peroxide. Mix it with water (in equal parts, as usual) in a spray bottle, and apply it directly to the surfaces you need to wipe down. Then just get a sponge and wipe them down, and you are good to go.
Whiten your grout


Nothing looks worse than grout that has started to take on that dingy appearance from collecting dust and dirt and everything else to come along. To whiten your grout, first, make sure it is dry, and then spray peroxide directly onto it. Walk away and do something else for a couple of hours, and then come back with a toothbrush and soapy water. Scrub vigorously, and then dry it off. It should look white and clean and new!
Clean your mirrors


Do you hate the streaks that commercial cleaners leave on your mirrors? According to a lot of people who use hydrogen peroxide for cleaning around the home, hydrogen peroxide makes a great no-streak cleaning agent for mirrors. You can just spray it on and then wipe it down using paper towel. It will get rid of any bathroom germs that have made a home on the glass too.
Wash out your toilet bowl


To disinfect your toilet bowl, pour in half a cup of hydrogen peroxide. Let it stand inside for twenty minutes. Then come back and scrub out the bowl with your toilet brush as usual, and flush. While you are at it, douse your toilet bowl brush in hydrogen peroxide. This will disinfect the brush and keep it clean and sanitary.
Clean your tiles


Tiles, like the grout so often used to seal them, can become quite ugly quite fast when they accumulate stains and soap scum. Hydrogen peroxide helps to kill mold and brighten tiles, so it makes an excellent tile cleaner. To use it, just mix it up in a paste with flour. Apply it to your tiles directly, and then cover it with plastic wrap. Leave it sit overnight, and then come back the next morning and rinse your tiles until they are clean. They should be bright, shiny and sparkly, just like new!
Kill mold


Anywhere you find mold in your house, you can apply hydrogen peroxide directly to the site, and then wipe it clean. Hydrogen peroxide is effective against many different types of mold, and can help to clean and detoxify a wide variety of surfaces.
Uses in the Kitchen

While hydrogen peroxide is great for cleaning all around the home, it is particularly handy in the kitchen, where it has many specific applications! Read on to discover them.
Clean a cutting board


Your cutting board is a place where germs can readily congregate, especially if you use it to chop meat. Rinse off your cutting board after you use it, and then spray it down with peroxide. This will take care of those germs before they get into other foods you are preparing or find their way onto your utensils.
Add it to the dishwasher


Want your dishwasher to do a better job? Try adding a couple ounces of hydrogen peroxide to your dish detergent. While you’re at it, you can also add a little to your regular dish and hand soap to give them a boost. They will do an even better job at killing germs.
Get rid of stubborn caked-on food


Have caked-on food on your pots and pans that you are having a tough time cleaning out? Combine baking soda with hydrogen peroxide so that they form a paste, and then rub that onto the dirty dish in the problematic spot. Let it sit for a few minutes, and then come back and scrub it away with warm water. The baking soda acts as an abrasive while the hydrogen peroxide helps to break up the particulates. The stain should lift off with relative ease.
Disinfect your dishrags and sponges


Dishrags and sponges pick up a ton of germs while you use them. And then if you just leave them sit, those germs can really multiply. Soak your dishrags and sponges in hydrogen peroxide or even just spray it on them while they are sitting in the sink, and watch them foam up. There are a lot of germs to kill! Doing this not only helps you to stay safe, but it also extends the lifetime of your sponges before you have to replace them. You may also be able to go a little longer between washings for your dishrags.
Clean your fruits and vegetables and keep them fresh


There are several different ways you can use hydrogen peroxide to clean your fruits and veggies and help them stay fresh. Get a spray bottle and add some food-grade hydrogen peroxide. Spray them, let them stand for a couple minutes, and then rinse off the hydrogen peroxide and let them dry. You can then fill another spray bottle with vinegar and spray your fruits and veggies with that. The two work great for detoxifying your food. Want to preserve your fruits and vegetables so that they last longer? Pour a sink full of cold water, and then add a quarter of a cup of food grade peroxide. Soak your vegetables for around 20 minutes. Rinse them, and let them dry. This will get rid of chemicals which may have been used in the growing process, and also will preserve freshness.
Keep a salad fresh


Salads are delicious and very good for you, but they tend to go bad almost overnight. To keep your salad fresh a little bit longer, combine half a cup of water with a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide (make sure to use food-grade, once again), and then spray this mixture on the salad. As you can see, this mixture is very much watered-down. That is very important (a note on that later).
Clean your fridge


Want to get unpleasant odors out of your fridge and also disinfect everything? Wipe your shelves down with hydrogen peroxide. This will get rid of unsightly food stains and also kill germs. It should help to neutralize some odors as well. To deal with the rest, just add a box of baking soda.
Miscellaneous Uses

Here are a few more ways you can use hydrogen peroxide in the laundry room and in other areas of your house.
Clean your rugs and carpets


Have some tough stains in your rugs or carpets? Spray hydrogen peroxide on them to get rid of those unsightly food and mud stains. Be sure that you only do this on light-colored fabrics, though! If you try it on dark colored carpets or rugs, you could end up bleaching them and creating a new unsightly patch instead! You may want to do a test first in a spot where no one is going to see it (inside a closet or under an item of furniture for example). If you have light or white colored carpet, using hydrogen peroxide should be no problem.
Clean your kids’ toys


Children, particularly toddlers, tend to get spit all over their toys—yuck. This is not only a problem for you and for other children, but it is unsanitary for them too. Use hydrogen peroxide to occasionally wipe down toys, toy boxes, and play areas. It is a safer cleaning agent to use around small children than many commercial cleaners, since it will not cause lung irritations.
Replace the bleach in your laundry room


If you are looking for an alternative to commercial bleach for your whites, you can try using hydrogen peroxide in your wash. Soak fabrics for around half an hour, and you should be able to pull the yellowing out of your whites for a fresh, clean look. Just make sure to keep the stuff far away from your other garments so that you do not bleach them by mistake.
Brighten table cloths and curtains


While you are at it, do you have any white curtains or tablecloths which have become a little yellowed or stained over time? Wipe the yellowed areas down with hydrogen peroxide. Alternately, just throw them in the wash with the rest of your whites.
Wash your shower curtains


Don’t forget about the shower curtains! These love to pick up mildew and soap scum like it’s an extreme sport. Fight back by using hydrogen peroxide. If you have a shower curtain which can go in the washing machine, do it. Otherwise you can do it by hand.
Remove tough stains from clothing


Certain types of stains are quite tricky to get rid of, in particular organic stains like blood. Sweat stains that form on the armpits of shirts can also be problematic. Hydrogen peroxide is great for tackling these pesky stains. Mix two parts hydrogen peroxide with one part detergent, and then use it directly on the stains you are trying to remove. As a reminder, you can only use this technique on light or white colored clothing! Do not use on dark or patterned cloth, or you will bleach your clothes.
Get rid of odors in your clothing

Are some of your clothes musty-smelling? You can get rid of these odors by washing your clothes in a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar. This will get any unwanted smells out of your clothing fast. Only do this with light-colored clothes!
Disinfect children’s lunchboxes


If your kids take their lunch to school in a lunchbox, you know how gross those lunchboxes can get over time. It is easy to overlook the buildup of food residue in these boxes, because you don’t wash them every time. Once in a while, spray some hydrogen peroxide inside. Let it sit for a few minutes and then rinse and wipe it down. This will disinfect the box, and help keep your kid healthy.
Disinfect the inside of a cooler

Coolers are subject to the same issues as lunchboxes. They tend to accumulate food residue and go neglected. You can wipe down a cooler’s interior the same way you can a child’s lunchbox. This will help keep the cooler sanitary.
Disinfect reusable bags

Do you use a reusable shopping bag in order to protect the environment? This is a great way to cut back on environmental waste, but you need to take steps to occasionally protect your health too. Now and again, you are going to want to turn your bag inside out, and spray some hydrogen peroxide solution on the fabric. This will disinfect the bag and also get rid of any lingering food odors.
Clean a dehumidifier (or a humidifier)


Dehumidifiers and humidifiers both have a tendency to accumulate mold buildup. If you let this get out of control, it becomes a sanitation problem fast. Now and again, run a hydrogen peroxide and water solution through your device to kill the mold inside. That way you will continue to process clean air.
Boost plant growth


One cool scientific fact about H202 which I forgot to mention earlier is the fact that it is found in rainwater naturally. Why? During a rainstorm, there is ozone in the atmosphere (O3). Now and again, the falling H20 (water) picks up an extra oxygen atom from this ozone. This converts it into H202. It turns out that this is one of the reasons that rainwater helps plants to grow faster!

You can soak your plant seeds in hydrogen peroxide to simulate rainwater. This will get rid of fungal spores and speed the rate at which your seeds germinate. Use 1 ounce of peroxide for every 2 cups of water, and make it an overnight soak. Also, if you have plants which have been growing for a while, you can boost the health of their root system by occasionally spraying them with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water. Just use 1 part peroxide to 32 parts water. What a cool use for this handy compound!
Kill mites


Mites are a pain wherever you find them. Wherever you do, spray some hydrogen peroxide. It’s a safe way to kill mites which won’t contaminate your home or outdoor environment.
Remove algae from an aquarium


Have algae growing on the sides of your fish tank? One safe and effective way to kill it without harming your aquarium’s inhabitants is to use hydrogen peroxide. This must be done with great care! You wan to use around 60 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 250 liters (that’s 66 gallons) of tank water. Add it with a dropper or a syringe slowly over the course of about five minutes. Apply it directly to the clump of algae if you can. Once the H202 lands on the algae and reacts with it, killing it, it will dilute rapidly, converting into H20 plus free oxygen.

Be aware that some aquarium plants may not handle this well. And if you add too much, you will oxidize (and kill) your aquarium’s inhabitants, including fish, snails, shrimps and frogs. As an interesting anecdote, people have been adding barley straws to their aquariums for quite a long time to kill algae. It is believed that this works because the barley slowly releases hydrogen peroxide in small amounts.
Add oxygen to a bag while transporting fish

Are you transporting fish in a bag? You can make this process safer and more comfortable for your fish by adding H202 to the bags. Do not use the liquid hydrogen peroxide recommended for the other applications in this article. Instead, go with the little white tablets which dissolve for a controlled release of oxygen. Note that if you have a gasping fish, you can sometimes save it by adding a five times dose of the liquid hydrogen peroxide. This is a measure of last resort, but the oxygen boost sometimes is enough.
Treat wounds in animals

Just as hydrogen peroxide can be used to treat human wounds, you can also use it to treat wounds on your pets. Believe it or not, this also includes fish—just not very small ones. If you can dab it on carefully, it will remove dead flesh and help to kill the bacteria. Balance this with the risk of stressing the fish though; if you stress the fish out too much, it may not be worth it, and you have to get it back into the water fast.
Induce vomiting to save the life of a pet

If your pet swallows something toxic, you may be able to save its life by inducing vomiting with the aid of 3% hydrogen peroxide. This works well for dogs, cats, pigs, and ferrets. It does not work for rodents, horses, rabbits, birds, or ruminant species. Start by offering your pet a small meal; this makes it more likely your animal will vomit. If he doesn’t eat it, just move onto the next step. Measure hydrogen peroxide out as follows: 1 millimeter per pound of weight (with a small critter like a ferret, half a teaspoon is usually sufficient). Use a syringe or turkey baster to squirt it into the back of your pet’s mouth. Vomiting should ensue inside of 15 minutes. You can try this one more time if it fails the first time. If it fails again, it’s time to call the vet.

Lessons From Gautama Buddha That Will Help You Win At Life

1. “Three things cannot be hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth.”
No matter how much you try to conceal the truth, it will be known one day or the other. It’s foolish to cover up lies because the truth reveals itself in the most honest way.

2. “You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.”
Anger is a lethal weapon. Apart from slaying the enemy, it also slays you. When you’re angry, your words deceive you and they hurt others. Therefore, it’s advisable to remain silent and not speak when something annoys you.

3. "You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."
We often expect to receive love and affection from others. In that process, we start neglecting ourselves. We try too hard to get attention. However, we forget that loving one's own self comes before loving others. You cannot love selflessly, until and unless you understand yourself.

4. “We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.”
The message here is to think happy thoughts that will keep you happy throughout the day. Being optimistic is better than having negative thoughts. Seeing the glass half-full is a way better perspective than seeing the glass half empty.5. “You only lose what you cling to.”

Getting attached to a thing is the biggest mistake we can make in our lives. It is when we get too dependent on it that we start losing it.

6. “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”
Indeed an enlightening quote! Here, Buddha wants us to learn from our own experiences and not from the reviews of others. What suits one person may not necessarily suit another.

7. “Physical charms attract the eyes, goodness attracts the mind.”
Good looks are an asset - however, a good character is an identity. It’s completely wrong to judge someone only by their looks and not by their character.

8. “Just as on a rubbish heap swept up on a main road a purely fragrant, delightful lotus might there spring up, even so amidst those rubbish heaps (of men) does the savaka of the PerfectlyEnlightened One outshine in insight the blind puthujjana”
Even if you’re surrounded by filth, but you’re strong enough to resist the bad, you will grow like a lotus in a mud lake. If you’re a student, with hard work, you will outshine all other ordinary students.

9. “When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily.
Buddha teaches us the difference between love and lust. In love, you nurture a relationship. In lust, you only satisfy your physical needs.10. “A jug fills drop by drop.”

Starting small is the mantra for finishing big. It doesn’t matter if your start is a small attempt. If you keep at it steadily, you will achieve what you want to one day.11. “It is better to travel well than to arrive.”

Life is one big journey and you’re a traveller. It’s better to live and travel well, than thinking about the future and losing your peace of mind. Living the fullest in the present is the best way to enjoy life, rather than living in the past or the future.

Deadly Effects Of Too Much Sitting

Do you know that sitting for too long, I.e. For more than 8 hours, can significantly increase your chances of suffering from heart disease, diabetes and cancer while shortening your Lifespan?


Although it’s still not clear as to how sitting can lead to poor health, one of the causes that researchers cite is a fall in metabolic activity, which has an adverse effect on your body’s fat and sugar levels, making you vulnerable to various health disorders.

Ideally, sitting or any sedentary activity associated with sitting shouldn't make up more than 4-5 hours of your day. Several studies have revealed how sitting for long hours can be bad for your health:



It increases your chances of dying from Cardiovascular disease by 18%

You face an increased risk (about 17%) of dying from Cancer if you sit for a very long

Prolonged sitting can cause your risk of suffering from Type 2 Diabetes increase by 91%

To negate the effects that sitting might have on your health, you need to move around or stand up from time to time. You might begin by standing as often as you get the chance to, or try to walk if your work allows you to. Other strategies that you could adopt are:

Instead of sitting, have your lunch or talk on the phone standing

Increase your physical activity by taking the stairs

Take 1-3 minutes break every 30 minutes to stand or walk around

Exercise or stand when watching TV

Lastly, try to lessen your daily sitting period by 15 20 minutes every day

When you're standing or moving, you end up improving your metabolism, which is responsible for fat and sugar burning. As a result, there’s an increase in your energy levels, which in turn increases your stamina and also helps in shedding off the extra kilos. When you sit, these processes stop performing, thereby increasing your chances of suffering from various diseases.

Treating the 10 Most Common Home Accidents

Everyone knows that most accidents happen at home, which is not surprising. Our home is where we spend most of our time. We cook our meals there, we spend time with our family, and we lay down our weary heads after a long day. All of these activities increase the liness of getting hurt, which is why it is important to know how to deal with each of these injuries. The tips below will introduce you to the most common injuries and the proper way to treat them. Remember: acting quickly and correctly can greatly reduce the chances of complications.





1. Stepping on a sharp object

Whether it’s a nail, a screw, thorns or splinters, if it’s lying on the floor – you might step on it and get hurt.

What to do
Inspect the injured spot to make sure there is nothing left in the wound. Remember that even if you wore shoes when it happened, you’re not completely protected, because the object might have passed through the sole and into your foot. It’s also wise to check the shoe for holes too.
If the object left no traces in the wound, wash your foot with soap and water to prevent infection, and bandage the area. If you have a disinfectant or antibacterial ointment, use it.
If there is a piece of the object still stuck in your foot, try prying it out with a disinfected needle. Make sure not to force it, you don’t want to exacerbate your injury.

When to see a doctor

If you can’t remove the object or you suspect that there is still a piece left in your foot, go see a doctor. This advice also applies if you’ve stepped on a rusty object and have not had a tetanus vaccination in the last five years, or if the area is becoming more painful or warm over time.



2. A bleeding cut

Cuts are one of the most common of household injuries, and can happen anywhere and while doing anything around the house: cutting salad, opening a tin can, or falling down.

What to do
Stop the bleeding – Apply pressure on the spot using a towel or a clean piece of cloth in order to stop the bleeding. If you have a first-aid kit available, grab a sterilized bandage. Keep holding the spot until the bleeding stops. If the cut is on either hand, raise the injured hand just above chest height to slow down the blood flow to the area.
Clean and disinfect the cut – Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the wound, and then apply a disinfectant on it. Next, bandage the wound to prevent future infections.

When to see a doctor

Visit your doctor if the bleeding won’t stop, or the cut swells and feels hot to the touch, or if you think there’s a foreign object in the wound. Additionally, if you were cut by a metallic object and did not receive a tetanus vaccine in the last five years, rush to the ER to get vaccinated as soon as possible.




3. Burns (oil, scalding water, steam)

Many home accidents happen when we come in contact with a heat source in the kitchen, while washing our hands, or getting too close to steam or boiling oil. The outcome is often minor burns (1st and 2nd degree), which heal after a short time. However, there are actions you should take to prevent scarring and a prolonged healing period.

What to do
Wash the burn in cool, running water to cool down the area – Place the affected area under running water for 15 minutes to cool down the skin, which will also reduce the level of pain. Do not use ice as it shrinks the blood vessels in the area and may even cause frost burns.
Bandage the area – After washing and cooling the area, bandage it to prevent infections and reduce the pain. Do not use cotton bandages as they may adhere to the area.
Apply pain relief ointments on the area – Should you still experience tingling or discomfort, use known pain relievers such as Aloe Vera.

When to see a doctor

In any case of burns where the patient is suffering from difficulty breathing, or if the burn is larger than the size of your palm, a visit to the doctor is a must. In any other case, if the burn doesn’t show signs of healing, causes severe pain, appears swollen, or is infected, contact your family doctor for advice. Furthermore, if the burns are in the vicinity of the face or near the joints, you should consult with your doctor as these areas’ healing process is more complex.



4. Bee sting

Open windows and doors may summon unwanted house guests, such as bees. In most cases, the bee will fly out on its own, but if you or your child have been stung, it is important to act quickly.

What to do
Locate the sting and remove it right away, preferably by scraping it with a blunt object your credit card. This is done because bees have a small amount of poison in their stingers and removing it quickly will minimize exposure to it. Avoid using tweezers or your fingernails – it may perforate the poison sac in the stinger.
After you have removed the stinger, wash the area with water and soap, then place a cold compress on it. You may also use painkillers to prevent swelling.
Raise the stung body part to minimize swelling.

When to see a doctor

If the person is exhibiting signs of allergies, such as swelling or difficulty breathing and swallowing, visit your doctor. If the area remains red and itchy for more than 48 hours, you may want to contact your doctor too.





5. Loss of consciousness

Sudden loss of consciousness can be triggered by illness, as a reaction to fear and panic, or as a result of general feeling of faintness. In the majority of cases, the unconscious person will wake up on their own within a short period of time, but if you suspect that the loss of consciousness was caused by illness, if the person wakes up feeling weak, or if they remain unconscious there are a few things you must do.

What to do
Place the person on their back and raise their legs up to a 60 degree angle (you can use a chair).
Loosen up any tight-fitting clothing articles, such as neck ties or buttoned shirts, that can make it harder for them to breath.
Test to see if the person responds to noise and pain. Try calling their name or applying pressure on their collar bone (not too much).
If the person does not regain consciousness after being laid down, begin CPR.

When to see a doctor

If the person does not regain consciousness, call for an ambulance before you begin CPR, or ask someone to call while you’re performing it.



6. Angina

Angina symptoms include pain and pressure in the chest, and are caused by tightening of the blood vessels that feed the heart. The pain may project to your lower jaw, shoulders and back, making such pains a clear sign of angina. These sensations can appear after periods of intense activity, such as a workout, and will last anywhere between a couple of minutes to a quarter of an hour.

What to do

First and foremost, help the person lie down and make sure they remain in a state of rest. If you’re feeling the symptoms of angina, get a family member and ask them to call for an ambulance. Avoid moving as much as possible. If another person is experiencing angina symptoms, call an ambulance and make sure they remain rested until the paramedics arrive.




7. Choking on a foreign object

Choking or wheezing can occur if we inhale while eating, or when a child puts something in their mouth. A person who is suffocating will begin coughing, grip their neck and turn blueish.

What to do
Whether you’re feeling you’re choking or someone else is, the most important thing is to remain calm and try to cough out the object as soon as possible.
If the foreign object remains lodged in the airways, perform the Heimlich maneuver:
Hug the person from behind their back, with both hands clenched into fists and placed on the other person’s navel.
Perform a series of quick squeezes and check to see if the obstruction is cleared between each set.

When to see a doctor

If the obstruction is not cleared, call for an ambulance while continuing your attempts to dislodge it.



8. Electrocution

Electrocution is a life-threatening situation that can cause severe pain, burns, and even death. At home, you may get electrocuted by accidentally pushing something into a live socket, or even by touching a faulty appliance.

What to do
Switch off the electric current to the house and use a stick or a broom to remove the person from the source of electricity.Do not touch them directly as you may also be electrocuted.
Once the person is away from the source of electricity, check their consciousness levels. If they remain unconscious, begin CPR.

When to see a doctor

If the person remain unconscious, call for an ambulance or have someone call for you while you perform CPR on the other person.




9. Animal bites

If you were bitten by your pet or someone else’s, there are several actions you should take.

What to do
The most important thing is to make sure the animal is vaccinated.
Wash the bite with water and soap to clean the area and prevent infections.
Next, use a bandage or a towel to apply pressure on the wound for several minutes to stop the bleeding.
If the wound is sore, use a cold compress or some ice wrapped in a thin towel.

When to see a doctor
Call an ambulance if the person displays swelling in the throat, difficulty breathing, or is feeling extremely weak.
If there are any doubts about whether or not the animal is vaccinated, if the wound is very deep, or you cannot seem to stop the bleeding, then rush to the ER.



10. Broken tooth

A broken or fractured tooth may occur as a result of a sudden fall, and is mostly common amongst children.

What to do
Wash the mouth with water to stop any further bleeding in the gums, and prevent infections.
If only a part of the tooth broke off, find the other piece and bring it with you to the dentist for reattachment.
If the tooth is completely out, put it in a cup of milk and rush to a dentist to have it implanted back.
