On February 2, the Indian government's budget allocated funds for the HPV vaccine to prevent cervical cancer. In my previous blog, I discussed the severity of the issue. Nearly one lakh women are affected by chronic cervical cancer, with seventy thousand losing their lives to the illness. This allocation is a crucial step forward for Indian women's health. Despite this, the current focus on social media is the disappearance stunt of Poonam Pandey, which has gone viral. When celebrities face chronic illnesses like cancer, it becomes a topic of conversation for many. I admire those who fight cancer, whom I call "cancer warriors." They show incredible strength and resilience. For instance, our beloved cricketer Yuvraj Singh battled seminoma lung cancer, undergoing four rounds of chemotherapy. Despite experiencing severe chest pain and vomiting blood during matches, he continued to play, even scoring 362 runs and taking 15 wickets in the 2011 World Cup. During...

I felt very sad when I heard the news of singer Bhava Tharani's death due to the chronic illness of stomach cancer at her early age. I am addicted to her voice, especially the "Mayil Pola" song from Bharati; it is a pinnacle song for her. When I see female cancer patients in my radiation oncology department, more than 80% of them are homemakers. That's the reason they are affected by cancer. They are carrying their families, not themselves. This is the reason for them to have irregular eating habits, not maintaining a healthy BMI, going to bed late, and waking up early in the morning. Some of them married in their teenage years and also got pregnant at an early stage. This is the reason for their bodies undergoing irregular hormone changes. According to 2020 data, 78.5% of women had cervix and breast cancer. Both cancers highly result from irregular hormone secretion in the body. The last time I talked to my sister-in-law, I asked her, "Di...

 Last week, I read a book suggested by actor Kamal Hassan in Big Boss Season 6, "Man's Search for Meaning" written by Viktor Frankl. This book is based on the Holocaust in Nazi camps. Viktor is a Jewish psychological doctor who is struck in the Nazi camp in World war II . He shared his entire chronic prison experience of the camp. I was wondering because this type of book, they wrote their sorrows and the burdens they faced in the camp. But he is different; not only that, all entire Jews are different. They are not bothering and worrying about what happened to them. They sing, get married, do the artwork, make poems, and chat with mates in a concentration camp. Viktor says how they survive in the camp; they all share one blanket for each of the seven members in low Celsius. They get water from melting snowballs. They cuddle each other for warming. When they are on the train, they have a sparrow view at each stopping station, praying not to be in Sobibor. Sobibor is in th...

 Last year, I went to the Chennai Book Fair with a well-thought-out plan to buy numerous books. However, this time, I was occupied with my internship at college. Despite that, I arranged for my so-called friend to buy a book for me, which I selected through a video call at the book fair. When she asked for a book recommendation, my brain struggled to decide. Finally, a flash in my mind led me to suggest the novel "White Nights" written by Fyodor Dostoevsky. In response to her inquiry about why I recommended the novel and its summary, I explained that across various languages, filmmakers have adapted this story into over a hundred movies and short films. "White Nights" is a short novel, spanning four nights and one morning, with a dual hero narrative. The protagonist is a girl living with her grandmother in St. Petersburg, Russia, during the winter season. She falls in love with a man living upstairs, who communicates with her through letters. As she waits for his re...

I'm eager to receive my voter ID when I turn eighteen, granting me the opportunity to vote for someone who will govern my country. Unfortunately, in a previous election, I voted for a candidate who lost. Many around the world are experiencing this excitement as over 40 countries, including the UK, USA, Iran, Canada, and Russia, are facing elections. Not only economically wealthy nations, but also our neighboring countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives are gripped by election anticipation. I was particularly interested in the UK and the USA due to both countries being led by individuals of Indian origin. I believe Vivek Ramaswamy might have a chance in the USA this time. In Russia, Vladimir Putin, a military figure with a history of conflicts with Ukraine, seems poised for re-election. Canada's Justin Trudeau has already engaged with Khalistan in politics. Turning to our neighbors, Bangladesh has initiated its election process. In Pakistan, former Pri...

  I recently saw once again "Irandam ulagam" movie directed by Selva Raghavan which has more of a cgi effect on a low budget . I was wondering when I noticed where the story was taken by the director. "The dream of a ridiculous man" written by Fyodor Dostoevsky the Russian writer.The summary of the story is man who have suicide thought suddenly he saw a girl child on street with loving face after he reach his house affected of that face he suddenly felt sleep of suicide mood.He had dream of traveling through the galaxy and entering of new world which has only lovable people in that he was staying merging with them enjoying suddenly the scenario while change in that world .All of them felt selfless, vengeance and rudeness behaviours this type of action along with the people who have the most lovable character. The lovable world is destroyed by people. This is the whole revolution of that world he saw in that world. Suddenly he is awake then he realizes that love i...
