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...

Some useful remedies for post viral syndrome

-
Image
 Viruses are those nasty organisms that infect people variably with long-lasting symptoms. Covid pandemic has made it clear that they are here to stay and cause long-term problems in humans and animals. The worst thing of these millennial viruses are that there is no effective antiviral drug against them. Passive immunization helps partially and vaccination also have limited role to play.  Viruses and symptoms Viruses cause acute symptoms that may wane off in a few days to a week or so. But what is notorious is their tendency to linger on in the body and affect localized organs or cause generalized malaise. Both of these consequences are difficult to treat and affect the individual's life for many months to years. This is called post-viral syndrome. It might be a separate entity or might be due to the virus triggering the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or depression in the person who has recovered from its acute insult.

 Have you ever heard of the term Peter Pan syndrome? This is a term used for men who repeatedly display emotionally immature behaviours. How did this term start to be used for such men? What are the implications? Peter Pan syndrome This term was first used by psychologist Dan Kiley in his book named "The Peter Pan Syndrome: Men Who Have Never Grown Up." that was released in 1983. But this term is not a scientific term for such people. It is not mentioned in the medical books and neither in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). WHO too does not recognize this name for such men.  What is Morton’s toe?  One very often sees around us such men who have pledged to never grow up.

 Often, one notices that the second toe of some people is longer than the great toe. People say different things for it. Many of them say that it implies that the owner of such a longer second toe is a dominant, creative, energetic person in real life and very ambitious and peace and happiness-loving. But no one has tried to understand the reason, science, medicine and problems of having such a toe. It is called as Morton’s toe or Greek foot.  What is a Greek foot? Many people in the world have a longer second toe of the foot. Such feature may be on one side or in both the feet. It is called Morton’s toe or Greek foot. The other names for it are Morton’s foot or royal toe. But the reason is not the second toe is longer but the fact is that the first metatarsal below the great toe is shorter. Thus it is not due to the faulty phalanges but due to the difference in height of the metatarsals. Since the second metatarsal is relatively longer than the first metatarsal, the joint at ...
