INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CONSCIENCE



Thanks to the pioneering efforts of the Bahrain Prime Minister, His Royal Highness Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, with the UN adopting it's principles of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 5th April is being observed as the International Day Of Conscience since 2020...

The theme for 2025 is -
"Leave No One Behind."

There have been several instances of a cab or an auto driver returning forgotten valuables, in cash and kind, back to the ex-passengers. I have also read of a master sculptor redoing a statue halfway when he suddenly realized a very minor flaw in it's face, despite being told that no one would even notice the way he discovered it...

They both denote honesty, meticulousness and conscientiousness. Their "inner voice" prevailed upon them to act as they did, making them meticulously honest in terms of righteousness...

Starting around the age of 2-3 years, the child’s self-talk slowly becomes the inner voice in each one of us, directing our actions to cope with day to day moments of our lives. For me conscience is always a guide of ethics and perfection, a vociferous critic with intentions to create the best versions of ourselves...

While no one is perfect, conscience can be said to be that faculty trying to prevent a person succumbing to temptations, avoiding one's esteem getting lowered in one's own eyes. At the other end of the spectrum are those with no scruples of right and wrong or any remorse at all...

The conscientious acts with a deep sense of responsibility towards all, in a righteous manner even when a fault is certain to go unnoticed. Goes without saying, such persons are eagerly sought after as against those reputed only to be clever...

Practicing the pause and silence make us receptive to our inner voice, the righteous part of ourselves quietly watching and whispering unto us...

As I write this, the world is seemingly into a trade war with a belief that ‘everything boils down to sales.' Though there may be some truth in it, many inner voices might surely have gone for a toss. However, the urge to outsmart has the potential for unpleasantness in the long run...

The necessity of being conscious of one's conscience, especially in current times, could benefit all, lest the ongoing unsavory issues cause complete collapse of earth and mankind...

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...

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF RADIOLOGY

November 8th is observed as International Day Of Radiology as a tribute to the great German scientist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen for his discovery of X-Rays in 1895.. 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...
