THANKSGIVING DAY



A day to express gratitude to our Creator, for the innumerable bounties, for the love and care showered upon us along our paths of life. A day for fun and frolic with the company of nears and dears, is a day for farmers to express gratitude for their autumn harvest...

Observed with fervour in in the US, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Philippines etc., the origins of Thanksgiving Day aren't clear. While President Lincoln officially declared the last Thursday of November in 1863, President Roosevelt changed it to the fourth in 1939, leading to coinage of the term "Franksgiving"...

Though 'Thank You' are just two simple ice-breaker words, they have the innate capacity to add meaning and sense of purpose into our daily lives. The simplest of responses appreciative of the contribution of others towards gladdening of one's heart, a 'Thank You' is quite often skipped, knowingly or otherwise. A term that we've been used to since childhood, 'Thank You' is perhaps applicable at every step, and in all walks of life...

For most of us thanking people for their efforts in making us comfortable occur as a humane reflex. One should take care not to sound as an auto-response, but rather always mean it from the bottom of one's heart. In addition to the joy of making others feel recognized, respected, loved and appreciated, a 'Thank You,' acts as a great motivating factor...

Akin to principles of natural justice, thanking and giving due credit (which  seems to be on the decline) to others are often seen to be duly awarded in ways totally unforeseen...

While courtesy may occasionally be given a miss in our hustle bustle and human errors, if one is sincerely grateful from within, that should suffice for the sake of humanity. For, a grateful 'Thank You' is in accordance with the law of Karma which says:
'What goes around comes around.'...

🙏🙏

FLAWED PRINCIPLE

It is International Self-Care Day today, and yet another 24th, marking 17 months of conflict in Eastern Europe. With t he Kerch Strait bridge suffering yet another damage last week and Russia, almost reflexly, putting brakes on the hitherto 'food-prices stabilizing' Black Sea grain deal followed by strikes on Odesa, fresh dark clouds of hunger loom large on several dependent nations... With much water having flown under the 'David-Goliath' bridge, one wonders whether peace would ever be given a chance, since such moves of hope are hardly visible over the horizon... While it is said that everything that begins has to end, b e it lives, an event, a thought, an article, anything, but perhaps war not so easily; not unprecedented either. Yes, it could end after a certain length of time, anybody's guess, but in this context one would now certainly ask as to 'at what cost?'... No constituent of nature works on a principle of profit excep...

WORLD BRAIN DAY

22nd of July is observed as World Brain Day since 2014. The day was chosen during the 21st World Congress of Neurology held in Vienna on September 22, 2013 under the aegis of World Federation of Neurology, which incidentally was also formed on 22 July, in 1957... The day aims to educate people regarding brain health, to help people afflicted with neurological disorders, and to the furtherance of research and advances in therapies and prevention... The theme for 2023 is - "Brain Health and Disability: Leave No One Behind"... Brain, a conglomeration of nerve filaments and connections, which if untangled would measure a distance of around 60 kilometers, plays a pivotal role in all aspects of our intellect, thoughts and response... About ten trillion connections thus help us see, register, read, write, speak, learn, think, analyze, move etc. to face the challenges thrown at us on a daily basis at all levels, irrespective of age, race, gender, nationality and soci...

The 1845 born Nobel Laureate of 1901, Röntgen majored in Physics and completed his PhD at the University of Zurich.. Discovering X-rays accidentally while using cathode rays for images of his wife’s hand, which depicted the bones and the wedding ring, Röntgen had made a giant leap for mankind in medical diagnosis.. International Day of Radiology (IDoR) was first celebrated in the year 2012 with the combined efforts of the European Society of Radiology (ESR), the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), and the American College of Radiology (ACR).. The ESR began the European Day of Radiology on February 10th, 2011, but soon it was replaced by the International Radiology Day, along with the decision to change the date to November 8th, commemorating the day of Röntgen's discovery.. The theme for 2024 is - “R...
