Educated daughters vs strong daughters: The difference

-
Image
Indian government, Indian law, and pro-female organizations in that land talk about increasing education of girls and women. I get very amused at this ineffective and useless propoganda that does nothing great to help the girl child and women. This is because most women even if educated are unable to continue work, career or do entrepreneurship because their parents or in-laws or community will not allow them. So it means educate them for namesake and then make them stagnant to do caring and cooking jobs at home. In short, educate them and again throw them in the same gutter or furnace as before. Education gives them no financial independence, no autonomy, no freedom to decide for self or children. Then what is the role of education for them? Nothing. I pity the parents who think that educating a daughter makes them finish their duty towards her. They continue to rear her as a cow or sheep. The net result is an educated women with no respect or autonomy and no space of her own. This ca...

Johnny Ruffo: his health journey, diagnosis of brain cancer, and his career!

-

 Australian singer-songwriter cum actor, Johnny Ruffo is just 32 years of age. Three years back in 2017, his doctors diagnosed him with a cancerous brain tumor when he had a migraine. He underwent an operation for removal of the tumor and also was put on aggressive therapy for brain cancer. He was cleared of it but has a relapse last week.

JOHNNY RUFFO AND HIS HEALTH JOURNEY

Australian singer-songwriter was a highly talented musician and also an actor. But most of the time, life is not generous on good and talented individuals. He had a diagnosis of brain cancer on him three years back. On 10 August 2017, Johnny revealed that he had brain surgery for removal of a brain tumor. He had approached doctors for treatment of migraine when it came to light that he actually had a brain tumor.

A biopsy taken from the site was sent for histopathological investigation and the result was that the tumor was cancerous. A week later, Johnny posted on his Instagram that since it was a cancerous growth, he will be put on aggressive chemotherapy to stop the cancer growth.

In May 2019, Johnny gave a radio interview in which he revealed that he was cleared of cancer.

THE RELAPSE OF BRAIN CANCER

Last week, Johnny again posted on his Instagram the sad and heartbreaking news that his brain cancer has relapsed. He wrote:

"After an unexpected week of seizures and excruciating headaches it is with a heavy heart that i have to let you know i now have another huge battle ahead of me as my brain cancer has returned."

He added:

"Though i will dig deep and beat this sht disease again 👊🏽💜 #fckcancer"

Johnny’s post exuded optimism thanks to the strong moral support he has from his girlfriend, Tahnee Sims. On 30 November 2020, Tahnee uploaded a collage of black and white photos of the couple and captioned the series:

"What a superstar 💜,"

In the past, on several occasions, Johnny had talked about his supportive girlfriend and gushed about her. He had credited her with saving his life and making him laugh and remain happy against all odds.

JOHNNY AND HIS CAREER

After he was said to have cleared cancer, Johnny in June 2019 released his new single called Broken Glass. He had said at that time:

"This song is probably the most vulnerable song I've written. It's very personal for me. It's loosely about my experiences in the past two or three years – and about being down and out – not necessarily about cancer, but about anything like depression or losing a loved one."

Johnny started his music career at the age of 12. His inspiration was Michael Jackson. He learned to play guitar and piano and wrote his first song when he was 14. He started work as a concreter and also used to perform with the band Supanova around Perth.

He soon started recording with a major record label and released several singles and also appeared in albums and music videos. Johnny also did films and starred in Dancing with the Stars as a contestant. In 2020, he was seen in Neighbours. He has two nominations on his name but no wins.

Why I decided to not attend Nepal Respiratory society conference 2025?

-
I am a super-specialist doctor. Hence, when I learned about the pulmonology conference in Nepal in September 2025, I thought of attending it since I was there for some other work.  But I ultimately decided against attending the Nepal Respiratory society conference. You will agree that 'the first impression is the last impression'. And my first impression about the conference and organizers, unfortunately, was bad.  Reasons: 1. Incomplete information on internet  No proper directions on internet. There was incomplete and wrong information.  2. No office When anyone makes a medical society or association, it needs to have a proper physical address, phone number, and email id. But this, Nepal respiratory society, lacked all of this.  3. Piecemeal information  Initially, the registration details had no details about registration for international delegates. Later, this was added. But again, there was improper info on it. At one place, the fees was 12k npr and a...

 Covid-19 vaccine has arrived amidst a mixed reaction. These vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are messenger RNA. Another one from German Company CureVac NV is also on its way to be approved. There is more hope in these vaccines beyond control of covid. What are its future benefits? mRNA vaccines and ordinary vaccines Most vaccines are inactivated or attenuated viral parts which induce an immune response in the body that offers protection against the virus. They need cell cultures and chemicals. It is time-consuming with risk of contamination. But in case of mRNA, this process is skipped. Scientists determine which protein they want the host body to produce, analyze its amino acid sequence and see what instructions the mRNA must give. The process is faster and the mRNA is safe genetically.  MRNA and its uses in maladies (Source: Nature) The history of mRNA and its use Research into mRNA began in the 1970s. But somehow after a decade of work on it it fell into the backg...

Loneliness is a growing epidemic especially during this coronavirus pandemic in the USA!

-

  The coronavirus pandemic has increased social segregation and this has proven to be bad particularly for the elderly population. They are unable to catch up with their children and grandchildren and are finding themselves extremely lonely. They are the worst affected by the pandemic in terms of physical as well as emotional health. THE OLD AGE AND LONELINESS Old age is a time of loneliness for many people. Usually, people have lost their partners at that ripe age and depend on their children and grandchildren for support and to beat the loneliness. Though their younger family members used to occasionally visit the parents, now with the coronavirus pandemic this has become difficult due to the risk of the children carrying the infection to their aged parents and grandparents. So the visits have come down drastically and the contact remains only on phone or via digital technology. This though good does not suffice and cannot substitute the physical visits and the warmth that th...
