12th March 2010

Today, I have started my day by reading the article for the Votava's presentation. Though the starting is not bad, I failed in cooking today morning. The reason may be that my mind may corrupted before starting the cooking. I don't know what is the real reason. It may be due to I may interrupted by Kana by giving me some freedom in cooking. Rice got burnt and mistakenly poured more oil in the pulusu mix.

In the bus, I didn't reacted to Swetha properly in the bus. She told me to close the bag. But I was in full cup. During the presentation discussion, I'm stammaring. Group members are not listening to me at all. Mia and Johan are better, they were trying to extract something from me. In my opinion, the experience is negative only. I have felt little embrased due to burnt rice during the lunch. Eventhough, I were with the europeans during eating, I couldn't mingle with them in their conversation. Something is hindering me from expressing myself.It may be inferiority complex. I should have spoken to Marion, when I saw here while she coming out from toilet.

In the afternoon, during the presentation, as usual, my voice have raised and I stammered. People are laughed at me. I strongly believe, my thinking is correct that is I should explain to others in such a way that they understand. But I'm failuring due to lack of practise.

11th March

I have started another good day. Wiped mustache. I looked into Natalie's eyes without taking, she slightly felt unconfortable and changed the situation by telling. I felt confortable while conversing with the Chinese girls. Reaction with the group mates for not doing the presentation is not good. The problem is I don't know properly react to others. While asking the feedback of yesterday's presentation, I'm not proper. Inferiority complex is existing. I'm not behaving normal and feel shy. During interaction in the class, I did 3 mistakes with Votava. First one, talked about Olof's comment, second one was commenting the European eating behaviour and the last is not concentrating properly and strange reaction during the converstation.

Not involved in the birthday party, which was happened in the Baldar student accommodation. I was just struck up on seeing the known persons. Here also, shyness prevails. I couldn't purchase the grocery items and chocolates for the last lecture of the course.

My Problems

Socializing is my problem. I'm very much comfortable when I'm alone, but I'm not getting what I want. When I try to socialize, I don't know how to interact with people and I just struck up resulted in embarased stage. Main problem with me is I'm failing to express myself. I'm trying, but I need somebody to crack myself. Even for approaching somebody to crack me also I'm hesistant. Problem is in my thinking, I want to be perfect, I dont accept the lesser than that. I don't want to be discussed by others for my negativities. Since I'm aiming only for the perfect, I'm not satisfied for whatever self improvement I have done. After a particular stage, I have a feeling that I have gone back to the starting level. Now I have to implement a step by step process. But I dont have much opportunities now and time also limited. Anyway I'm going to start from the zero.

Steps:
1) See others eye and speak. (Hard to implement everywhere, mainly where I failed before)
2) Tell your opinion there itself, whether right or wrong. If it went wrong, admit you are like this only and surrender to them, they will shape you.
3) Slowly start thinking in their perspective
4) Get the frequent feedback about from the persons who you are meeting first time. (You won't feel much embaraced)

Perfect world

Here, I'm going to write about how a perfect world should look like according to me.

1) No country boundaries, everyone can go any part of the world without passport and visa
2) Single Currencies
3) Religiion only for the development of man kind not for the destruction
4) Equal and optimum consumption of goods by each and every human being
5) Respect for the elders and giving importance to the family values

You too Having Cancer...., Fight Against It!!!

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3 When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

What is recession?

This Story is about a man who once upon a time was selling "Wada-Pav" by the roadside.

He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers.

He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio.

His eyes were weak, so he never watched television.

But enthusiastically, he sold lots of "Wada-pavs".

He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales.

His sales and profit went up..

He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more.

He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers.

He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove.

As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father.

Then something strange happened.

The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?"

The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible.

The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times."

The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV.

He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly.

So the next day onwards, the father cut down his raw material order and buns, took down the colorful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic.

He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs.

Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his "Wada-Pav" stand.

And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit.

The father said to his son, "Son, you were right".

"We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."

Moral of The Story: It's all in your MIND! And we actually FUEL this recession much more than we think we do!!!!!!!!!! !!

What can we take away from this story??

1. How many times we confuse intelligence with good judgment?

2. Choose your advisors carefully but use your own judgment

3. A person or an organization will survive forever, if they have the 5 Cs-

* CHARACTER * COMMITMENT * CONVICTION * COURTESY * COURAGE

The tragedy today is that there are many walking encyclopedias that are living failures.

The more practical and appropriate views on this economic recession is:

"This is the time to reunite together for any small or a big organization,

This is the time to motivate and retain people which are the biggest asset,

This is the time to show more commitments to the customers,

This is the time show values of our company to the world,

This is the time to stand by our Nation".
