REVIRGINATION !!!!

Few days back, I came to know how much cosmetic surgery has gone far. As usual I got home from work made a cup of tea and switch on the T.V. and there was one show going on debating about REVIRGINATION. Frankly, it was first time of mine to hear that term and was amazed by the development of the science and technology. However I was not totaliy agreed with the speaker who was a doctor practicing this revigination surgery. He was repeatetively describing it as a procedure to achieve your viginity once again. According to me he was just misleading viewers. According to me achieving viginity is possibe technically; but what about emotionally. It like someone ask you “hey are you virgin” and you reply ”yehh technically but had sex before”. Isn’t that funny.

In this blog I will puthforth some basic background information about revirgination, reasons why people undergo this procedure, and my point of view about the procedure.

In many religious and cultural groups, the status of being virgin is highly valued. These groups believe that the girl should be virgin when she gets married. Through the examinations if it found that she is not virgin then marriage is called off and she and her family are shamed. Or if her new husband doesn’t see a bloody bedsheet, he may exact revenge in the form of inflict punishment or expatriate of the bride. Thus in this cultures storing virginity until marriage is one of most important attribute that act as determinant of family honour. This is most important reason that had led some women to restore their virginity by hymen repair (revirgination/ Hymenoplasty).

I have words about this procedures with some of friends (most of them were not familiar with this surgery) but they said restoring virginity this way before marriage and not telling their future husband would be a cheating. One said that she would like to undergo this procedure after marriage (on her 10th marriage aniversarry or 20th anyway number doesn't matter) as a anniverssay gift for her husband. (Wow !! that was bit naughty) but yaa.. this are also subjective reasons some women may want to undergo surgery.

Background:

What is Hymen: A hymen is the thin piece of tissue that partially blocks the entrance to the vagina. It is named after Greek god Hymenaeus (god of marriage). It doesn’t have any biological function in women’s health.

It has been always believed that intact hymen is an evidence of girl’s virginity. However that is not completely true. Some girls are not born with hymen, and girls with hymen can break their hymen in various non-sexual ways such as:

Bicycling, horse riding, gymnastics

Insertion of medical device such as Tampons

Masturbation

Accident or injuries

Usually breaking of the hymen is associated by slight pain and some bleeding. This is perfectly normal. In rare situations, some women have reported no discomfort at all.

In nutshell, sexual intercourse is not the only way hymen can be broken. While an intact hymen does indicate virginity, one that is broken does not necessarily indicate the opposite.

Hymenoplasty (in simple words- Revirgination):

It is a simple cosemetic surgery that restore your hymen i.e. repair torn hymen.

Depending on your geographic location and choice of surgeon the price may range between $1800 - $4500.

Restoring virginity this way has criticised in conservative cultures as it is against their culture. Anyway will like to avoid talking on it, it may offend someone. Moving forward, some medical organisations have also criticised on this surgery as no such training is provided by them to their students; lifting questions on surgeons ability to carry out procedure safely without jeopardizing patients health.

Conclusion:

According to me, being virgin is not about whether women has her hymen intact or broken. A woman loses her virginity the first time a penis enters her vagina and men loses his virginity the first time his penis enters in women’s vagina. As I said before restoring virginity is technically possible but not emotionally.

Longest Two hours !!!

March 2 2011, I started this day as usual with a cup of coffee and was expecting it to be a another normal day. But it turned out to be one of horrible day of my life, I encounter with something that i have never experience before. I was stuck in lift (elevator) for nearly two hours and telling you its not good experience for a claustrophobic person like me.

I got into a elevator of 16 level building at approximately 8:00pm and before me pressing ground floor button someone from building called lift on 15th floor and thus it started ascending towards 15th floor. I was waiting for the elevator to open as it approached the 15th level, but it didn't happen. Then I looked at LCD display of lift and it was showing message “Leveling the car, please wait”; which is usual. It normally take few seconds for leveling the car and then doors open but at this time the door still didn’t open. Now I came to know I was stuck. There was a small cupboard below the lift button panel where emergency call manual is usually kept, but unfortunately there was no manual in it beside few chocolate wrappers. I pressed the OPEN DOOR button repeatedly, but nothing happened. Then Finally, I pressed Alarm button (emergency call button), and talk to a some guy on the other end, telling him that my name and explaining to him that I was stuck in the elevator. In return he asked me stupid question that whether I can get out of lift to which I replied “NO” and the he just hanged up the phone. Then I waited for another 5 minutes and pressed alarm button again, this time some lady answer the call and I have to explain her again from scrap, then she asked me for the address. I provided her details and then she too just hanged the phone. I was so angry by now as no one of then assured me that they will be sending someone to help me out, they just hang up on me. Then suddenly I hear someone coming on floor using another lift and then I started to bang on door, to get that persons attention. It was building security. He asked me is I am ok inside and how long I have been trapped inside. I said it now almost 40 minutes now and explain him my conversation with two lift maintainence service providers. Then he assured me not to panic and stay calm and he will see if he can do anything for me.

I waited for another 10 minutes and then pressed the alarm button again and this time spoke to some another person named David on another end and again I have tell him my name and explain to him that I am stuck in lift, which was really annoying. He told me that according to him I am stuck in between 14th and 15th level and then he started to guide me through some troubleshooting hoping that lift will move to next floor but it didn’t worked out. He apologize on behalf of previous two phone service attendants and told me to hold on, he will send lift engineer to get me out of it.

I was relax now as I was knowing someone is coming to rescue me. After 45 minutes I hear a voice from outside. Finally it was lift engineer and he told me that he going to jump on top of lift so not to be scare. I don’t know how he manage to go on top of lift and withing couple of minutes the lift start to move and stooped on next level ie 15 and as soon as door got open I jumped out of it and thus I was released to free world again.

Those two hours where longest two hours of my life. It was a really awful experience.

Here I will like to give some tips what one should do when using in lift:

1. 1. Don’t press buttons for all floors, you surely don’t want to make lift car angry.

Never press emergency stop button unless it is emergency.

3. Don’t jump in lift car when it is moving.

Things to when you are stuck in lift car:

1. Don’t panic, staying calm will release tension

2. Push door open button

3. It still don’t open the try pushing button for another floors (only for couple of floors, don’t push all floor buttons)

4. Look for emergency call button

Things not to do:

1. Don’t try to be hero by trying escaping out of lift form top (it happens only in movies)

Completing of 25 years of life..!!!

April 13, 1985, I was born to a middle class family in a small village name Waghoda BK. My childhood is packed with the memories of events and activities that have touched my life. I still remember I was very close to my grandfather. He used to carry me on his back and used to take me to our banana farms. He is not with me now, but still I feel his presence and thinks he is watching me. I wish he was their with me on my 25th birthday.

I turned 25 now and started 26 and enter a new era that is also beginning with the end of student life. Recently I read an article somewhere that there are some milestones in our lives at which we go back and review what we have done or what we have achieved and what yet need to be achieve. Such milestones are completing your 10 , 18, 25, 30, 40, 50 and 60 yrs of life. At each milestone we have some goals and plan to our self and try to achieve them. Completing 25 is an important point when you leave the first half of the youth with some characteristics and become mature in some aspects. And at this point, we think much more about our past what you have done and about future what we are going to. I am at 25 milestones now, and trust me I feel the same way. Other day I was sitting down was thinking what I done upto now and what I am doing now. I remember once talking to my father and he told me he was independent and was much more happy then me at age of 21 then me what I am now at 25. Sometime I think that was coming down to Australia for studying is my one big mistake? Since I was much more happier and stronger and even financially independent when I was in India. Another reason is, even after 8 months completing my degree, I am unable to secure a job in my field. Whereas my friends who did same course in India and got the job and much more happier. The author of that human behavior article had said truly, that if we don't get the goals what we have set up for that particular milestone, it brings sadness and bad feeling into that individual. But I have made myself more stronger to overcome this bad feeling and try more harder to achieve my goals. Ofcourse no one can be perfect.

Sometime I think we are just too scared, I know I had made many mistakes in my life (then whether it is career-wise, sports-wise or commitment to a relationships) just because I was scared. But now I decided to just look into my heart and do whatever the hell makes me happy. We have to just remember all those pitfalls like a road map, and avoid all those drama in future.

Is it a mis-use of public money by government in INDIA ???

I was shock after reading this news. Even today in India there are thousands of people who can't offer one time food to their families, and still some politicians or political workers don't give damn about it. Political party are looting public money and spending it extravagantly; instead of using it for public development purpose. Here is an perfect example of it.

On Monday 15 March 2010, "Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)" (one of political party in India) completed 25 years of existence and also it was 76th birthday anniversary of Kanshi Ram, Founder of the party. On this occasion party has organized a MAHA RALLY, on which BSP already spend more than 300 crores India Rupees (apprx 72,672, 965.30 Australian Dollor). After spending so much of money on rally on the top of that supporters of BSP presented a garland of worth 5 crore INR to party president Mayawati, who is also a Cheif Minister of Uttar Pradesh state. The garland was made of 1000 donomination INR notes. Do you think it was really necessary to give such a expensive gift to Mayawati by her supporters? This money could have been use for some charity work or for supporting the real poor people in India, Instead of presenting it to Mayawati who proclaims to be "Dalit ki beti". And I don't think she would donate this garland to some charitable organization. A good leader don't want money and even if he/she gets it they should use for the welfare of their AMAN. But here, these all money will go in her pocket. This shows were does money go after people pay tax to government. Do you think we have kept door open for politicians to loot us????

Just think in this way their are 100s of political party and if each party decided to spend so much of government (public) money on their rally's and on such unnecessary celebrations; then will their be any money left for the development of country?? Every political party should realize it. I have seen many people in my village struggling to earn each and every penny to support their family. Their has been very less development. Most of the development in our village is been made by collecting money from wealthy people in my village. Construction of cement roads, cement gutters, shops have been done by Panchayat from the money collected from villagers and without any aid from government. As you can see above, government is busy in spending public money for their own purposes.

I just want to point out that, is it really worth to spend so much of public money on rally's??
And also to give such a expensive gift to someone who don't need it. So much cash could have been use to feed several thousands of people across the state or been invested in some development.

I guess,even political parties in developed country like Australia wont spend so much money.

Jellyfish in Australia

Hi,
Recently I came across an video (youtube) of MonsterQuest on killer JELLYFISH. Surprisingly, modern science don't know much about this deadly marine creature. It made me to start search some information about jellyfish and came across the following description of Box Jellyfish which is i think most dangerous among them and habitat at Australian beaches.

BOX JELLYFISH are transparent and pale blue in color, that make them nearly invisible in water. It got it name because of the cube like shape of the bell. Each corner has upto 15 tentacles and can reach up-to 3 meters in length. Each tentacle has approximately 5,000 stinging cells known as nematocysts. They have 24 eyes i.e cluster of 6 on 4 sides of bell. Jellyfish can swim in water at a speed of 2.5 to 4 knots, approximately at the same speed a human can swim. These makes them even more dangerous to human.

As such they don't have brain or central nervous system (CNS) but according to Dr. Jamie Seymour, Director of Tropical stinger research Unit, they have some sort of intelligence to follow and hunt their prey.

They are mostly found near beaches and at mouth of rivers after a local rain. At this point salinity at shore drops to some extend which make them migrate to shore. But if the water is muddy they prefer to stay away from shore. They prefer calm water and shallow then rough and deep sea.

In Australia, Box Jellyfish are mostly found around northern Australian beaches, during October to May.

Stings of Box Jelly fish have several serious consequences, due to its cardiotoxic (effect on the heart), neurotoxic (damage to the nerves) and dermatonecrotic (effect on the skin) components. And cause dead withing 180 seconds unless treated immediately. One should inactivate the remaining stinging cells by pouring vinegar or salt water or urine over the tentacles. Iso-propyl alcohol (common reagent use in labs) can also be used. After inactivating stinging cells, then tentacles can be removed by hand or knife.

Hope this helps...

Swim safely.....
