Hindi Diwas is celebrated every year on Sept 14th. Please read my previous blog for its important & slogans.
I present here an essay in Hindi on the topic 'Digital India'. Kindly excuse me for my spelling & grammatical mistakes made in the essay as it is my first attempt.

We all accept that the world is a stage and we all are actors. God is the Writer and the Director. We have to follow the roles and responsibilities as per the God’s script. For further details, please go through my previous blogs related to this concept –
Be an 'Actor' of 'Emotions' - https://researchsubbu.blogspot.com/2018/09/be-actor-of-emotions.html
Be a 'Star Actor' in Reel & Real Life - https://researchsubbu.blogspot.com/2021/06/be-star-actor.html
In continuation to those, now I have come up
with one more addition. The God Vishnu took 10 avathars (Dashavatharams) – 10 manifestations.
It means that God, who is the Creator, Writer & Director also has played a role
of a Hero in these 10 plays on the world stage along with all the remaining
people. He has set an example to the world how to act on the stage of life. Just
imagine how lucky the people would have been to act with the God Himself, be His
parents, guru, wife, son, friend, villain, whatever may be. That is why even
the villains in these great scripts also got Moksha.
The Krishna Avatar especially is known for its versatility.
Lord Krishna showed several Leelas in His life. Right from the childhood, He
faced several challenges, but always with a smile and pleasantness. Right from
taking birth in the jail, fighting with several demons, He has always shown the
courage to handle the challenges with a smile, even at the small age. He has
been playful at the young age and was known for romance. But He has performed
all His duties & responsibilities as a King.
He has set an example of friendship by being
the friend of a poor man Sudama. Lord Krishna stood on the side of Dharma (on
Pandavas side). Coming to Kurukshetra, the ultimate war, He would have killed Kauravas
as He is the Supreme Power Himself. But, awakened Arjuna to fight the war and Krishna
led Him by becoming His Charioteer. This is what I really admire about Lord
Krishna. Just observe how much respect He gives to His own written script
(Karma). As per the script, Arjuna should fight the war. In previous blog also
I mentioned that a Star actor never interferes in the role of a junior actor. In
fact, he encourages the junior to perform well. Setting an example, Lord
Krishna motivated Arjuna to perform his role in the war rather than taking over
the charge & finishing the war.
From this, we should learn how down to earth we
should be while performing our roles. We should respect the script & our
roles and others’ roles too. Just remember how sincerely Lord Krishna followed
His own written script. We all are blessed to be the actors on the stage on
which once upon a time Lord Krishna also performed.
Let the Real Supreme Hero, Creator, Script Writer
& Director Lord Krishna direct us on this stage of Life.
Every year on 5th June, World Environment Day is celebrated. This year the theme is "Only One Earth".
These are my slogans on Environment -
Let us bow
down to Earth
for every
breath from birth to death
Let our
behavior change
to prevent
the climate change
Let us plant a
tree
to make the
Earth pollution free
Always be responsible
to make the
earth sustainable
Pollution
Prevention
Energy Conservation
are the
steps for Earth Preservation
Ecofriendly
electricity generation
ensures
sustainability to future generation
Ensuring
sustainability
is our
ability & responsibility
to maintain
ecological stability
Our nature
& culture
is to
respect Nature
Plant and
Planet are in God’s Plan
Don’t Play
with them
This year the World Environment Day theme is “Only One Earth “.
My reflections on this theme are -
Introduction
In this universe, there are several planets.
Earth is one among them. The unique feature of the earth is - it is made to be
suitable for the habitat. It provides a conducive environment to so many
species for living. The environment includes several layers such as
tropospehere, stratosphere, mesospehere etc… The atmosphere on Earth consists
of air, water, fire etc. which are essential for the living beings and
maintains an ecological balance among all the living organisms & systems.
In Indian tradition, the Earth is considered to be the Goddess or Mother. In
Electricity, Earth is very important as it provides zero potential and
protection against the electric shock. In agriculture & forests, earth
provides the fertile land for growth of plants. This is how the Human existence,
culture and nature are interdependent on the Nature. But due to the advancement
of technology, growth, greed & other aspects, deforestation, emission of
Green House gases, Choloro flouro carbons etc., pollution and ecological
imbalance, the Earth is suffering, in turn, the future generations are going to
suffer. Thus, the unique planet Earth is to be protected to protect ourselves
and future generations.
The causes of concern for the Earth Protection
are -
Green House Effect – Climate change
The greenhouse gases such as CO, CO2, methane
etc., form a layer to reflect back the heat reflected from the surface of the
earth. Thus, they are supposed to maintain the temperature of the Earth’s
surface. But as the GHG emissions are increasing, the earth’s surface
temperature is increasing. It is resulting in melting of glaciers & other
ill effects to the Earth atmosphere. That is termed as Climate Change which
needs to be addressed.
Ozone Layer Depletion
The Choloro Flouro Carbons (CFCs) used in the
ACs & refrigerators are damaging the ozone layer. Basically, ozone layer is
the protective layer formed over the earth in the stratosphere to filter the UV
rays coming from the Sun. If that gets depleted due to CFCs then the UV rays
reach the Earth & may cause cancers and other problems to the habitat.
Thus, the ecofriendly alternatives to CFCs are to be used.
Ecological Balance – Biodiversity
The very nature of the Nature is to be at
balance always. So the Nature knows how to balance itself in the due course.
But, the human beings with their physical & mental power alter the balance
and create problems to the earth’s ecosystems. The Nature reciprocates with a
same kind of response. Thus, understanding the interdependency and taking care
of ecological balance is very essential while doing any activity.
Natural Resources – Energy Conservation – Clean
Technologies
The growth of human beings is directly related
to the use of energy. The fossil fuels usage in energy generation is causing
pollution and extinction of those scarce natural resources. Thus, alternative
technologies or renewable energy sources are to be used to conserve these
natural resources.
Agriculture – Pollution
Cultivation/Agriculture is very essential for
food for the humanbeings. But, in the entire food supply chain, there is an
amount of pollution at each & every level which is adding a carbon
footprint on the earth. The pesticides used, the vehicles used etc are some of
the examples. Thus, every process needs to be reviewed and made ecofriendly to
protect the environment and the Mother Earth.
Deforestation – Green Cover
As the population is increasing, the forest
cover is decreasing for several reasons such as living space or for agriculture
etc. The forests are very important for the green cover as well as
biodiversity. Both are getting adversely affected due to deforestation.
Moreover, the deforestation makes the soil loose and may be a cause for floods
etc. Thus, protecting the green cover is very crucial to protect the ecological
balance, thus, the earth.
Conclusion
Earth takes care of us with full of love &
care. Let us reciprocate the same with our Mother Earth. Let us bow down to
Earth for every breath from birth to death. Let us be one among the many to
protect the only one Earth.

Today is “World No Tobacco Day”. This year the theme is “Tobacco: Threat to the Environment”. Tobacco damages not only our health, others’ health but also the health of the environment. Over million people are killed by tobacco every year. As per WHO, cigarettes are made by cutting 600,000,000 trees. 84,000,000 Tonnes of Co2 emissions in the air and 22,000,000,000 Tonnes of water consumption is due to cigarette manufacturing. This is how the entire supply chain of cigarettes is affecting the environment adversely and poisoning us and the environment as well.
https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-no-tobacco-day
https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-no-tobacco-day/2022
Ultimately the tobacco especially smoking poses
several hazards such as -
Health Hazards – Cancer, lungs, heart diseases,
diabetes, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and many life style
disorders.
Environment Hazards – Deforestation, Natural
resource consumption, Emission of Green House Gases, water consumption in the
entire supply chain, pollution.
Safety Hazards – May be a source of fire (Fire Hazard)
Tobacco gives a temporary thrill with a
permanent damage. Thus, let us quit tobacco otherwise we have to quit the world
later because the Nature won't allow us to damage it. It takes its revenge. It reciprocates in the same manner as we treat it. This is what has been consistently explained in my previous blogs on environment.
Quitting either tobacco or world is our choice.
My previous blog “Commit to Quit Tobacco –
Happy World Tobacco Day” https://researchsubbu.blogspot.com/2021/05/commit-to-quit-tobacco-happy-world-no.html
will help you in quitting tobacco…
Let us protect ourselves and environment by
quitting tobacco.
Today, on my birthday, I have come up with a story to tell you…
Person-A1 drinks a liquid blindly under the
influence of the friends, colleagues or the boss or someone (B1) without
further questioning/reasoning or using his own logical thinking. A1 meets with
an accident & dies. The liquid may be alcohol or poison.
Person-A2 keeps on questioning B2 until A2 is
convinced that the liquid is safe and is required to be drunk. B2 explains
clearly why it is important. A2 lives forever as the liquid has become nectar
(Amrit).
Moral of the story: Never take any decision
under the influence of others. Use the discretion. You are responsible for your
decisions, safety, life. Moreover, guiding someone wrongly will be dangerous.
Have you guessed who are A1,B1,A2,B2? Now I
explain you with an analogy from the epic Mahabharata…
A1= Karna
B1= Dhuryodhana
A2= Arjuna
B2= Krishna
Now please re-read the above story again…
In A1-B1 case, the logical thinking &
discretion was hijacked by the Swami Bhakthi of Karna.
In A2-B2 case, just before Kurukshetra, Arjuna
asks Krishna a lot of questions such as why the war & so on… and he wants
to quit the battlefield. Then, Lord Krishna explains the requirement and
convinces him through Bhagawadgita. Arjuna after getting convinced, goes to the
battlefield and wins… That’s why Arjuna is called Vijeya & Krishna the Jagatguru.
The point here is Arjuna expressed his doubts
so politely even to the God though the God Himself was instructing him. After
getting the clarity only he moved ahead. Whereas, Karna blindly considered
Dhuryodana as God and followed his instructions without exercising discretion
& reasoning and we all know the result. Here, one more observation is - whenever
we are guiding someone, it should be on the right path… If we wrongly guide like Dhuryodhana did, then we will take so many other people along with us into
misery.
Takeaway: Always we should clarify our doubts
and questions before commencement of any work or decision making with the
people who are guiding or instructing us. Be polite like Arjuna. The instructor
or the peers or the boss who are guiding someone should be like Lord Krishna to
convince through their discussion with full of logic similar to Bhagawadgita. Moreover,
we can observe how Shri Krishna is with Arjuna throughout the war driving him
to the victory.
Application: Always remember the combinations
A1-B1, A2-B2 & choose wisely in which combination you want to be in the
daily life, safety at work, career guidance, counselling, any decision making or
in any other similar situation where your discretion is warranted.
To commemorate the birthday of Florence Nightingale, every year International Nurses Day is celebrated on 12th May. We all know about “Lady with the Lamp”, Florence Nightingale, a great nurse who has contributed a lot to the nursing profession. In fact, she is the founder of modern nursing. The most important I want to highlight today is her great contributions to Statistics. Yes… She was a great statistician too. She used to use the Polar Area Diagram, also called Nightingale Rose Diagram, which is similar to the modern histogram.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Nightingale
You can see the Nightingale Rose Diagram here…
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Nightingale-mortality.jpg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_chart#Polar_area_diagram
She was the first female member of Royal
Statistical Society and later became the honorary member of the American
Statistical Association.
This is a source of inspiration for the cross-functional
performance at work and interdisciplinarity in education.
Now coming to this year’s theme for International Nurses
Day…. A Voice to Lead - Invest in Nursing and respect rights to secure global
health
During the pandemic, the entire world has recognized the
importance of the front line warriors especially the nurses. Their
contributions are immense to humankind.
The multi-skills we can appreciate in the nurses are-
·
Empathy/Compassion
·
Self/Patient Care
·
Patience/Hope/Optimism/Perseverance
·
Learning/Knowledge/Experience
·
Analytical
·
Communication
·
Emergency Preparedness
·
Emotional Intelligence
·
Social Intelligence
·
Physical Fitness
April 7th is World Health Day commemorating the founding of Who (World Health Organization) in 1948. This year the theme is “Our planet, our health”. It is basically stressing on the interdependency of health of the human-beings on that of the planet. As per WHO, 13million deaths occur throughout the world only due to the environmental causes which can be avoided. Climate crisis is creating the health crisis also. https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-health-day/2022 We pollute the environment and break the ecological balance, environment affects our health badly in return. This vicious cycle continues unless the humankind is well aware of the interdependency and consciously make attempts to convert this vicious cycle into a virtuous cycle.
Today, let us see the extension of the concept
told in my previous blog Whose Wealth is Our Health? https://researchsubbu.blogspot.com/2015/05/whose-wealth-is-our-health.html
. In that blog I have discussed the health of the costume (body)
giving reference to Bhagawad Gita. Again, we will take the similar analogy that
life is a play… we all are actors… our body is the costume to be returned
healthy after the play… But what about the stage? World or Planet is the stage
on which all the actors (human-beings, animals) perform together. We have no
right to damage the stage or harm the other actors. If we turn inwards, it is
our internal health. If we turn outwards, it is the external environment. This
is how the health of the planet is our health. Thus, Turn Inwards &
Outwards - Rethink & Restore the Ecosystems – Happy World Environment Day
https://researchsubbu.blogspot.com/2021/06/turn-inwards-outwards-rethink-restore.html
One more important aspect as per WHO is the role of Sustainable
Development in Health. The inequalities in economy, resources etc among the
different countries in the world is also affecting the health. Recent COVID-19
pandemic is the best example. If some countries are not able to afford the cost
of medicines, vaccines and other infrastructure required to handle the
pandemic, or the economy was not supporting lockdowns or social distancing
etc., we cannot completely end the pandemic. From there it again spreads. That’s
how pandemic has taught us that world is a global village not only in terms of
IT alone, but also in terms of economy, environment & health also. Thus,
the socioeconomic, political factors also have a greater influence of the
health. Thus, we should have a holistic view towards health and contribute for Sustainable
Development for our own Sustainable Health.
Last year, in my blog (Happy World Health Day https://researchsubbu.blogspot.com/2021/04/happy-world-health-day.html),
I brought an analogy of the internal systems of the body to the
management systems of the business organization. In continuation to that concept, this year, I
say we are responsible for implementing the changes suggested (medical advice)
given by the business consultant (doctor). Business consultant is the expert in
business who is hired to help us in implementing policies or bring out changes (eg.
Business Process Reengineering/Strategic Planning) to ensure the healthiness &
sustainability of the business organization. The health consultant (doctor)
helps us in bringing the changes (Life Style changes) required for health &
sustainability. Medical advice is the provision of a formal professional opinion regarding
what a specific individual should or should not do to restore or preserve
health. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_advice
You can observe “Ädv” (means Advice) written on the doctor’s prescription sheet
in which they write the preliminary diagnosis and the medical advice in that.
Ultimately, everything is in our hands to implement as per the advice or
not. So, think wisely and act accordingly as per the advice of the experts.

More than 422Million people have diabetes in
the world as of now mostly in low and middle income countries. Though Diabetes
is found to be one of the leading causes of deaths, still enough awareness,
medication & care is missing. To promote the awareness about Diabetes Mellitus,
every year on 14th November, a global campaign is conducted by
International Diabetes federation and World Health Organization (WHO). As the
insulin was discovered 100years back, this year the theme is “Access to
Diabetic Care: If not now, when?”
This COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance
of testing. It holds good for Diabetes also. As per WHO, “half of the all the adults
with Type-2 diabetes are undiagnosed”. So they think they are perfectly fine.
Unless & until tested, we won’t come to know our blood sugar levels. Unless
it is known, it can't be controlled by taking suitable medicines or insulin. Testing
of diabetes is done by measuring the blood glucose levels at lab or personal
monitoring with the help of a glucometer.
Normal values
Fasting plasma glucose < 110 mg/dl
HbA1C < 6%
2hrs plasma glucose (after ingestion of 75gm
oral glucose load) < 140 mg/dl
Diabetes Mellitus
Fasting plasma glucose > 126 mg/dl
HbA1C > 6.5%
2hrs plasma glucose (after ingestion of 75gm
oral glucose load) > 200 mg/dl
https://www.nhp.gov.in/disease/digestive/pancreas/diabetes-mellitus
https://www.who.int/diabetes/publications/Definition%20and%20diagnosis%20of%20diabetes_new.pdf
HbA1 is the three month’s average of the sugars
in the blood. HbA1 is nothing but Glycated hemoglobin, which is the
sugar-hemoglobin linkage.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycated_hemoglobin
The access to – awareness, psychological
support, healthy diet and physical activity, lab-tests and self- monitoring, oral
medicines & insulin are key elements in managing Diabetes.
As it is a life style disease, changes in the
life style will being the changes in the level of the disease.

Face is the index of mind. Lord Ganesha’s face also teaches us many important life lessons. let us mindfully learn from it.
 |
Big Head- We should always think
big
Small Eyes- We should focus on
our Focus & Concentration
Small mouth & large ears-
Talk less and listen more
Trunk- Flexibility, adaptability,
maximum intake, reachability
Broken Tusk-Commitment- Lord Ganesha
has broken his tusk for writing task of Mahabharata when his pen broke.
Replaced Head- It suggests us to
be very careful about our head as it can’t be so easily replaced as in the case
of Lord Ganesha. So, we should protect our head by wearing a crash helmet while
driving. This is being used to promote road safety by several governments &
police. Moreover, commitment to duty and integrity are important things which
we can learn from that story of Ganesha stopping Lord Shiva to enter Kailasha
as the ganesha was instructed by Parvathi not to allow anyone inside.
The other learnings include-
Rat-vehicle- Though he is very
Big, He has chosen a very small rat as His vehicle. It tells us that though we
grow big in our life, we should always be down to earth.
Ganesha & Karthikeya’s Race-
Circling around the parents instead of circling around the world- Importance of
parents, importance of identifying one’s own strengths & weaknesses and
making strategies based on that.
We can learn a lot many things
from the following-
“Those who see action in inaction and inaction in action are truly wise amongst humans. Although performing all kinds of actions, they are yogis and masters of all their actions.” – Bhagavad Gita 4.18
This is the translation of the words told by
Lord Shri Krishna to Arjuna just before the Action Sequence (Kurukshetra) in
Mahabharata.
I feel that it is like a puzzle given to us to
see (perceive & interpret) “Action in inaction & inaction in action”. Several
people have seen it through their own lenses. I also want to make a conscious attempt
to add a little to that spectrum of thoughts. My perspective is –
Acting
In continuation to my previous blogs
considering the life as a drama & we all are actors( https://researchsubbu.blogspot.com/2018/09/be-actor-of-emotions.html, https://researchsubbu.blogspot.com/2021/06/be-star-actor.html ), here comes the word “Action”,
usually told by the directors in the shooting of a movie… The Supreme Director
God himself says about action.
Inaction itself is an action in some scenes
where we are not asked to perform. Some scenes may demand no action from some
great actors also. So, there is a possibility that Inaction (not doing action)
may be the requirement of the script for a particular scene. Thus, unless &
until we understand the Bigger Script of God, we should not judge anybody’s
action or inaction. Therefore, we can say the action & inaction are purely
contextual.
The action of great actors is such that it
would appear to be always real. We feel that they are not acting, but they are
living in that role. This is inaction in action.
The actor should never feel that he is acting
so that he can perform better & looks as if it is real. But at the same
time, he should not be carried away by the emotions of the roles he is
performing as it is acting only.
Action= life; Inaction=death
Action in Inaction: Even after death also, the
thoughts & good deeds of those people will be inspiring others for doing
actions. Though they are not alive, their teachings are alive. That is how we
can find life in death also.
Inaction in Action: If a person is not doing
good things or the things up to his abilities, though he is alive, he is
treated as dead. Moreover, nothing is permanent in life. Our life itself is not
permanent. Being conscious of this fact is Inaction in Action.
Action=Discharging, Inaction=Charging
Action in inaction may be perceived as the
inaction may be the preparation for the action. People take a gap to recharge
themselves. They sit back & regain their energies for action. It is like
charging the mobile phone.
Inaction in action is like making the unwanted
apps inactive to save the power. It will bring down the load or stress.
Action=Body (physical); Inaction=Mind
(psychological)
Every work, job, task requires both physical
& mental capabilities, but in different proportions. For some jobs, the
physical work may be more dominant compared to the mental effort and vice
versa. Whereas, usually, as the physical work is visible directly, it is
appreciated. Ideally, we should identify the physical & psychological
component of any activity or task and appreciate accordingly.
Action=on field; Inaction=reserve
In sports also, we often see the players on the
field. But we forget to appreciate the role of the players kept on reserve.
Though they are in inaction mode, they are always ready come in action mode as
per the requirement. So, the action & inaction roles are as per the strategy/requirement/situation of the game. Therefore, the action &
inaction modes are always dynamic in nature & may be interchanged depending
on the situations.
Action=equipment in service; Inaction=Standby/breakdown
equipment
For every critical equipment or machine, there
will be a standby equipment which is available to come in service when the
running equipment fails. So, it is important that all the critical equipment
should have standby and the standby equipment should always be ready. It is
also crucial to bring back the breakdown equipment to the available state. That
is how we should focus not only on the Action state but also on the inaction
state.
Action= motion; Inaction= rest
Again, we will go back to Newton to understand
this concept better. Previously also we have learnt from his apple story. https://researchsubbu.blogspot.com/2021/07/learnings-from-newtons-apple-story.html. Now let us learn from Newton’s
Laws of Motion.
Newton’s Laws of Motion
A body continues to be in its state of rest
(Inaction) or uniform motion (Action) unless an external force (God or
situations created by God) acts on it. It again explains nishkaam kriya. The
action & inaction of us are in God’s hands.
Every action (karma) has an equal &
opposite reaction (karma). Our present karmas are reflections of previous
karmas & will get reflected in future karmas also. So, our actions &
inactions are a result of our previous actions & inactions & will lead
to our future actions & inactions. So, we should always focus on our
present actions & inactions mindfully.
Our actions & inactions may influence the actions & inactions of others & vice versa. Hence, we should be careful about our actions & inactions considering the holistic perspective.

జనని సంస్కృతంబు సకల భాషలకును
దేశ భాషలందు తెలుగు లెస్స
జగతి దల్లికంటె సౌభాగ్య సంపద
మెచ్చు టాడుబిడ్డ మేలు గాదె?”

Paying
tribute to such a wonderful language of lucidity, I recall the famous song “మా తెలుగు తల్లికి మల్లెపూదండ”
written by Sankarambadi Sundaraachari for the movie Deena Bandhu
(1942).
“మా తెలుగు తల్లికి మల్లెపూదండ
మా కన్న తల్లికి మంగళారతులు,
కడుపులో బంగారు కనుచూపులో కరుణ,
చిరునవ్వులో సిరులు దొరలించు మాతల్లి.
గలగలా గోదారి కదలిపోతుంటేను
బిరాబిరా కృష్ణమ్మ పరుగులిడుతుంటేను
బంగారు పంటలే పండుతాయీ
మురిపాల ముత్యాలు దొరులుతాయి.
అమరావతీ గుహల అపురూప శిల్పాలు
త్యాగయ్య గొంతులో తారాడు నాదాలు
తిక్కయ్య కలములో తియ్యందనాలు
నిత్యమై నిఖిలమై నిలచి వుండేదాకా.
రుద్రమ్మ భుజశక్తి మల్లమ్మ పతిభక్తి
తిమ్మరసు ధీయుక్తి, కృష్ణరాయని కీర్తి
మా చెవులు రింగుమని మారుమ్రోగేదాక
నీ పాటలే పాడుతాం, నీ ఆటలే ఆడుతాం
జై తెలుగు తల్లి, జై తెలుగు తల్లి”
“A garland of Jasmines for our Mother Telugu,
Veneration to the great Mother that birthed us,
With gold in thy belly and grace in thine eyes,
O Mother, from whose smile wealth doth flow!
Full of life and vigor, the river Godavari
Flowing excitedly, the river Krishna
Crops like gold shall they yield bountiful
Gems glinting and shining shall roll forth.
Until the exotic sculptures of Amaravati
The riveting voice of Tyāgayya in his songs
The wondrous writings of Tikkayya have
Truly and gloriously withstood the test of time.
Rudramma's strength and Mallamma's fidelity
Timmarasu's courage and Krishnadevaraya's glory
Until our ears ring with the pleasantries
Thy songs shall we sing, thy games shall we play
Victory to our Mother Telugu, Victory to our Mother Telugu.”

inspiration, let me try to come in future with some motivational songs from
Telugu movies with its translation in English to spread the positive vibes
