#333 A humble request

A humble request

Give me all strength, Oh! My lord

So that I can utilise every ounce

Of what you’ve gifted me

May I not get intimated by

Anything distracting me from

The destination in course of

The destined journey

May I never wish for the

Power to suppress the weaker

May my words never put

Someone in the state of dejection

What’s the use of knowledge

When it can’t enlighten our lives?

What’s the use of wealth

When it can’t feed the poor?

May I never step back from

Benefitting the mass in need

With whatever resources I possess

May my needs never turn

Into a voracious state of greed

 May I always seek for the

Ultimate truth, knowledge

The fountain of bliss and happiness

I’m an ignorant soul, I know

Sometimes lost in the

Path of finding my destiny

On this special day

I make a humble request

To grant me confidence to

Lead untraded path to my destiny

Knowledge to understand

The mechanism of life and death

A personality magnetic

Thoughts metallic to attract anything

Favourable for my destination

Any repel anything making me

Weak in any form.

P.S: On the auspicious day of Vasant Panchami, I wish every reader of this blog. My Goddess Saraswati bless you with knowledge and wisdom.

#332 Evion Vitamin Enhancer

Evion-Vitamin E Enhancer

http://www.evion.co.in/

While watching one of my favorite T.V series, I carelessly untied the curl of my hair and found a bunch of hair falling over my bed sheet. I really got annoyed with this hair fall issue. I had been dealing with this problem for a couple of days. The fear of extinction of my hair made me impatient and curious to figure out the possible causes of hair fall.

Deficiency of Vitamin E is one of the main factors contributing to hair loss. I started doing my research on Vitamin E and the measures that should be taken to resolve this issue. Let me share my research on Vitamin E with you all.

About Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a group of compounds including both tocopherols and tocotrienols and γ-tocopherol is the most common form. There is a slight difference in the chemical structure of both the compounds and tocopherols possess saturated side chains, whereas tocotrienols have unsaturated isoprenoid side chains along with three double bonds. Four different forms of tocopherols exit and each one has different biological activities. Alpha-tocopherol shows the highest biological activity and easily adsorbed and stored preferentially in a human body. So, in other words vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin vital for human body.

Sources of Vitamin E

Here is a list of food containing Vitamin and the quantity:

1.    Sunflower Seeds: 1 cup contains 33.41 mg

2.    Almonds: 1 cup contains 32.98 mg

3.    Hazel Nuts: 1 cup contains 20.29 mg

4.    Wheat germ: 1 cup contains 18  mg

5.    Mango: 1 whole raw 3.02 mg

6.    Spinach: 1 cup contains 2.9 mg

7.    Kiwi: 1 medium: 1.1 mg

8.    Tomato: Raw 0.7 mg

9.    Brocolli: 1 cup contains 2.4 mg when cooked

10.           Avacado: 1 whole raw 2.68 mg

Amount of requirement of vitamin E in body according to age group

Here is a list of the amount of Vitamin E that one requires on daily basis according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the U.S. Daily intake is quantified in milligram and international units.

Role of Vitamin E

1)    Intake of Vitamin E is essential for the body to maintain the formation of red blood cells that can store some other vitamins such as vitamin A and K, iron and selenium.

2)    It controls the cholesterol level. Vitamin E has antioxidant property enables it to fight with cholesterol oxidation.

3)    Vitamin E also prevents cancer and heart diseases.  Free radicals are responsible for breakdown of cells in human body resulting into various diseases. So, isomers of vitamin E heal the damage caused by free radicals, fight inflammation and help slow aging of cells.

4)     Vitamin strengthens the capillary wall of the face and prevents aging of the body. It also helps in maintaining a healthy and youthful skin which adds glow to the face.

5)    As the vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, it decreases the damage to hair and reduces hair fall by circulating blood to the scalp. It helps in retaining moisture in skin and prevents the dryness of scalp. As a result, there is faster growth in hair naturally.

6)    Vitamin E is also known to have played a critical role in balancing the level of hormone in body.  Imbalance of hormone can lead to weight growth, PMS, allergies, anxiety, fatigue etc.

7)    Vitamin E improves the eyesight. It decelerates the age-related eye problems.

8)    Vitamin E improves the strength of the muscles by reducing the stress level of muscles after carrying out exercises. It also helps in reducing fatigue in the body by enabling circulation of blood throughout the body.

Supplement of Vitamin E

Evion is one of the leading brands which provides the supplement of Vitamin E and highly recommended by doctors. Here is the list of different products of Evion:

Ingredients needed:

1)    Aleo Vera: 2 table spoon

This was one of the most effective and efficient uses of Vitamin E through Evion Supplements for eliminating hair loss and increasing growth of hair.

Thanks to Evion for providing me a permanent solution to deal with hair fall problems.

#331 Evion:My companion

 Evion;my companion

http://www.evion.co.in/

Worried was I for the rate

Of falling of my hair which is

Always treated as the symbol

Of beauty and youthfulness.

Broke down I with the

Shattering of my dream

Of owning Rapunzal’s hair

Incredibly and fascinatingly long

Adding to my woes was the

Degrading charm of my face

Always crowded by a sense of

Anxiety of the problem pre-mentioned

The heavy load of professional work

Sitting hours before the computer

And nights of sleeplessness

Have invited ugly dark circles

Never did I know that it was

The consequence of a

Deficiency of something

As important part of the existence

It took me quite long to

Discover the causes of my trouble

When I made up my mind

To visit a specialist doctor

The doctor very easily tracked

The root of my problems

Perhaps it’s the reason why

They are worshipped as GODs.

The following are the words

That came out of the mouth of

A highly experienced doctor

While inspecting my problems.

“The vitamins aren’t things fancy

Even though their names may seem

Few alphabets they appear as

Yet constituting a vital sphere.

From the symptoms of

Fatigue, muscle pain, pale skin or hairfall

I could deduce the root cause to

 Be missing out of Vit. E

Vit. E is an anti oxidant

Helpful in repairing damaged cells

Maintaining the level of cholesterol

And improving the immunity level

It has advantages uncountable

Like maintain the hormonal balance,

Preventing allergies , urinal infections

Which can’t be neglected.

Take my words seriously

To prevent its further depletion

Your diet must include leafy vegetables

Grains,eggs,nuts and seeds.

The so-called-king of fruits; mango

Too consist of it, broccoli, avocado,

Spinach, tomato ,kiwi

Not to forget almond and hazelnut

Adding to the above list

I must not forget to mention

The supplement for vit. E, Evion

Available in capsule form

Apply the drops of it

With some rose water

On your portion below eye

To bid an adieu to dark circles.

Mix few drops of it

With olive oil to prepare

A serum for your

Skin to shine like a diamond.

Managing an easy and cheap manicure

Is possible with Evion

Collect oil from its ruptured form

And massage it over your nails.

You’ll be surprised to know

How few drops of it mixed

With Aloevera gel can drive away

The problem of skin pigmentation.

Not just the above points

You can get rid of

Unnecessary stretch marks

By applying its oil.

I hope that all these

Benefits of capsule Evion

Will transform you like

The way you’ve dreamt of.”

I’m neither a monk nor

Someone owning or selling a Ferrari

But the prescription of the doctor  

Came to me as the secret of Sivanas

Never did I know it helped

Me in a zillion ways

Few vital drops from its distorted form

Acted as a perfect saviour.

This is the tale of regaining

My lost youthfulness while

Being active and young with the

Help of my companion: Evion.

#330 A journey to remember

A journey to remember

Dear Jeje (Grandpa),

A greeting from the apple of your eyes (younger grand-daughter). I hope that you might be doing fine. I am about to share the details of my journey to Chennai which would be a piece of a treat for your eyes to glance through.  You always wanted me to travel different parts of country independently, so presenting before you the tale of my journey that I proudly traversed.

The idea of traveling to Chennai stroke my brain few months before was supported by the theme of attending an academic conference. Let me tell you what exactly an academic conference is. An academic conference/Symposium is a meeting of researchers from different areas such as academia, laboratories and industries to share their works on a particular domain and acquaint themselves with the latest innovations in the field. Such conferences not only enhance knowledge but also encourage one for collaboration and extension of network professionally. To present any research work in a conference, one has to submit the required abstract within the deadline. If the abstract gets accepted by the committee of the conference, then there is a call for full paper submission and one gets a chance to visit there to present his/her work in form of a poster or oral presentation.

Sabarmati Hostel and a deer in the vicinity

I got a golden opportunity to visit IIT Madras for presenting my poster in the conference of COMPFLU which was organised in December. I was very much excited to reach there. This was the primary motivation which led me to pass through the hectic journey of 38 hours by train all alone. I landed on Chennai Central at 2 AM and reached my destination at 3 AM. I reported to one of the hostels on the campus of IIT Madras. I had never traveled for such a long hour before, it made me occupied in my room until noon of the next day. The schedule of mine included visiting the campus and Marine Beach which is just situated few kilometers away.

IITM Campus

The campus of IIT Madras covers around 620 hectares of area and out of which the green forest sprawls over an area of 250 acres. It is also home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Even one could find a lot of monkeys roaming and playing inside the hostel. Being unacquainted with the aforementioned fact, I was chased by a troop of monkeys because of carrying a polythene bag which residents of campus didn’t use. I tried to capture photos of a herd of deer which were grazing near the hostel. Sabarmati hostel was the newly constructed one having seven floors and it was situated in the vicinity of two other girl’s hostels named Sarayu and Sharabati. All of these had a common mess. Institute was somewhere located about 2.5km from the main gate. I had my lunch in IRCTC canteen which was closer to the swimming pool. Lunch was too delicious as compared to the monotonous meal provided in the train. As the institute also organized inter IIT sports meet at the same time, so a lot of participants from different IITs all over the country were roaming in the campus. Interestingly, the name of the hostels in IITM is assigned on the basis of rivers of India.  I headed towards Student Activity Centre, as I heard a lot of voice cheering out loudly. It was a volleyball match: IITM vs IIT Ropar and IITM was in lead by 20 points. I was fascinated to observe some students engaged in spray-painting. I went back to my room to prepare for the upcoming event.

Skating ground

The next day was the D-day. The venue was IC-SR building which was in front of the administrative block. The main attraction was the elephant statue at Gajendra Circle. I had to take a few steps from the Gajendra Circle to reach there.  The conference was organised by the management team. This conference was divided into 18 sessions to be covered within the duration of three days. I presented my poster in the afternoon session followed by talks of distinguished speakers. It was indeed a nice experience to share my work with other researchers across the country and get some valuable feedback which I would incorporate into my work for a better outcome.

Conference 

Each day of the conference would start with the talk followed by a session of a poster presentation and followed by talks again. It would end up with a poster session in evening. After three consecutive talks, there would be tea break, where the delegates and participants would assemble for refreshments and discussion at the hall. Playground of Kendriya Vidyalaya was just adjacent to the venue where the conference was held. While watching students playing relieved some of the memories associated with my school. Being a student of KV, I could very well recollect those game periods and inter-house matches organised in school during last periods on Fridays. Somewhat I felt that I was back to the nostalgic days. I thanked God for giving me a chance to enjoy my life as a student pursuing research. I strongly believe that this phase (student) is the best part of life as there is always a scope of learning and implementing knowledge for the advancement of society. In the evening, certificates were distributed to all the participants.

Last day of the dinner was arranged in Westin restaurant which was at a walkable distance from Velachery Gate. I was awe-struck at the interior design. We all enjoyed the dinner and we had a photo session there. We bid goodbye to each other with a hope to meet again. We left for our respective hostels. I packed my luggage keeping in mind that essentials were not left hurriedly.

IITM Campus

I reached at the Chennai Central at around 10:30 PM. As I could not find the name of my train displayed on the screen, I waited there and there was an announcement made for the delay of the train. So, I had no option other than passing my time by reading a novel. Finally, I boarded the train at 12 AM. This time, I got a company of an old man and his grandchild sharing the same coach as that of mine and we had a good conversation over a variety of things. He introduced himself as a retired faculty of Economics and he had come to pick up his grandchild who was a student there.  He reminded you. I just imagined you in place of him. My journey would have been marvelous. The relationship of grandparents with his grandchildren is really unique and they shower their unconditional love all the time by protecting from the wrath of parents.

Although the conference only lasted for three days yet it proved to be a life-changing experience for me. I not only met with intellectuals and experts in the field but also got an opportunity to explain my work to them. This journey has also transformed me in a sense that I feel much more independent and confident now for having been traveled to an unknown city and managing things in a proper way. Through this journey, I discovered some of my abilities to tackle different situations deftly. Somehow it also helped in boosting up my spirit to pursue what I am interested in.  One of the fascinating things about Chennai is that there is no barrier to communication arising from a language. A common man can understand and speak English. It's not necessary that you should know Tamil or you should have a local friend to guide you. 

Grandpa, It was my habit to share all the interesting incidences with you. Though you don’t reside in this materialistic world yet you are there to read my letters and appreciate my effort. I need your blessings and support for every venture of my life. 

Your loving grandchild,

Sweta
