It is amazing how everyone’s life is changing through the use of technology.

“Technology by definition means, the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science”(Technology).

Today we use different kinds of technologies like mobile phones, iPods, laptops, mp3s, and all of the devices that create ease and comfort for every individual.

Technology is updating every second.

One of the most important thing that technology change is the way of communication.

Technologies create more powerful and effective ways of communication like facebook, whtsapp, Instagram, snap-chat.

People are getting used to a new way to be alone together.

Conversation in number and quality decrease as technology is replacing human interactions.

We know everything that’s going on around the world but don’t know about the people we are living with.

We are connecting to everyone through social media but are losing our friends and family.

There is the perception that if you aren’t in good profession you are less regarded or accepted.

"log kya khenge" I believe that’s a major problem.

Have you heard anyone say, “If you don’t study, you’re going to end up as a street cleaner”, or “Why are you pursuing music? You’re not going to earn enough to raise a family”, or “Eh, why do you want to work as a cook? Work long hours and barely earn enough, not good”, or “It’s not worth your time pursuing theatre, you can earn money?” or “Better be a doctor, can earn lots of money and take care of the family”.

I have heard this many times but why don’t we think if we all will become doctors, lawyers, engineer and there will no cooks, street cleaner, farmers then from where we are going to eat. We want to earn more by becoming doctors, lawyers, and engineer but never think paying well to farmers. We can eat in expensive restraunts, can buy expensive cloths but when we buy vegetables from vendors we start bargaining with them. They are leaving their lands and moving to cities in search of jobs because their pay from their farming is very low. Some are suiciding then how are we going to eat we will starve to death. If there will be no street cleaner we are going to live in trash because no one is going to clean them.

People complain about dirty streets but shame the street cleaners. They say it is a tough life working as a hawker stall cook, but go out to food courts to enjoy expensive food there. They say don’t pursue music, art, film or theatre but they listen to music, enjoy art, watch movies and attend plays. They tell you not to be a farmer but expect vegetables in the supermarkets to be perfect or they won’t buy them. Hypocritical, right ?

We need to change our mindset. We need to respect all professions. Doctor, lawyer, accountant and engineer may be key professions that sustain life, but so are street cleaners, cooks, farmers and others.

So, stop judging and start appreciating others.

stop thinking about "log kya khenge"

RABIES

Rabies is a major problem in some countries and carries a high mortality.

Caused by RHABIDO VIRUS which has a marked affinity for nervous system and the salivary glands

It is transmitted by saliva through animal bites or licks on abrasions or an intact mucous membrane

Rabies has been transferred by kissing, biting and sexual intercourse have not been confirmed

Exists in two major epidemiological settings:

1. Urban rabies

2. Sylvian (wild) rabies
