One Fag To Gag..!!






After working for so long on the chemistry of content in cigarette. Scientist Atlast got success in finiding atleast one Positive affect of Smoking. Yes You heard it right. Smoking is beneficial.

Smoking helps you lose weight..!!

Smoking helps you lose weight...One lung at a time...!! 

That was a poor joke, but seriously I wonder why people smoke. Almost 80-90% Smokers do know that Smoking has a real bad effect on health. It not only rottens the body of smoker but also those non-smokers who are around them. Those people who live around them could be their mom, dad, wife or Kid. How can somebody just for their momentarily pleasure could spoil there own and there close one's life. Smoking have many Scary  Side-Effects like Cancer, Tumors, Impotence and many respiratory diseases.

So how come people are still lighting up? The answer, in a word, is ADDICTION

Addiction to smoking is an uncontrollable dependence on cigarettes to the point where stopping smoking would cause severe emotional, mental, or physical reactions. It makes leaving smoking a real difficult task.

So does Smoking Scare you?

Well it certainly should! Know this... It will eventually kill you? If that doesn't scare you, then you are probably a smoker and your brain is playing tricks on you by suppressing common sense. If you need a brief reminder on all the scary stuff that smoking can do keep scrolling down.

Well I am not liking either of the picture but still healthy looking lung is better looking. Its now your own wish, you want to opt for which one.

Each time a smoker lights up, that single cigarette takes about 5 to 20 minutes off the person's life.Within 20 minutes after you smoke that last cigarette, your body begins a series of changes that continue for years. I really wonder why people still smoke. 

I have heard many peope saying, I have one life to live why not I live it in my own way, is this ur own way to live.. then I seriously feel pitty for the loved ones of those smokers..beacuse they are not only playing with their life but also with the health and emotions of the people who care for them, who'll be shedding their tears when they'll find that smoker ultimately on early death bed.

Nowadays I have seen many College going Boys and Girls indulging in smoking. If they all think its cool and people around will look up to them. Let me break the myth.. 70-80% people think that smoking is cheap. More over it stinks.. ewwww...

"A cigarette is a pinch of tobacco, wrapped in paper, fire at one end, fool at the other"

Almost 60-70% smokers knows all these facts but still the voice won't fall on their deaf ears. If smokers think that leaving smoking won't do any good as their bodies are already damaged. Then I must tell you that.

20 Minutes After Quitting
Your heart rate drops.

12 hours After Quitting
Carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.

2 Weeks to 3 Months After Quitting
Your heart attack risk begins to drop.
Your lung function begins to improve.

1 to 9 Months After Quitting
Your coughing and shortness of breath decrease.

1 Year After Quitting
Your added risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker’s.

5 Years After Quitting
Your stroke risk is reduced to that of a nonsmoker’s 5-15 years after quitting.

10 Years After Quitting
Your lung cancer death rate is about half that of a smoker’s.
Your risk of cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas decreases.

15 Years After Quitting
Your risk of coronary heart disease is back to that of a nonsmoker’s.
If you smoke, one good reason to give up smoking is to benefit those who live and work with you. If you cannot give up, you should make every effort to keep cigarette smoke away from other people.

I pledge all the smokers to please atleast think over it and give it a try. Your life is precious not only for you but also for your friends and family, they need you.If you smoke, one good reason to give up smoking is to benefit those who live and work with you. I will request those non smokers too who knows someone in their friend circle or family member who smokes, help them in quitting smoking.

Non-smoking area: If we see you smoking we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action.

~~~~~~~~~~~ WE CIVILIANS ~~~~~~~~~~~


The recent terror attack on Mumbai was a complete wake up call..atleast for me

I personally feel we shouldn't rely on our government for our future, We should rely on Ourself for that. Its our time to rise again to secure our future. We are capable enough to fight for Our livings. For this we need to Join together and Promise ourselves that we are ready to change the way we live, For securing future of our coming generations. The recent Mumbai terror attack was a window through which our future was clearly visible and this time we will not ignore this vision,  Its an inconvenient truth but we need to digest it and we need to work on it. Before getting into any kind of blame game we shall ask ourselves what we did for our country... It has been ages, we have been sleeping for so long, been so Careless that we always dismissed such distant rumblings.. We people have a tedency we'll stay Quite Unless and Until something like these terror attack Victimise us our Our dearones.. Not only Terror attacks.. but other things too.. Like Poverty.. we can just sit and say Ohh soo sad India's Poverty level is rising.. thats Just a mere word, just a mere expression, the only person which could feel its pain is that Povertystuck person who strives every single minute to earn some penny. 

This is the high time Friends we were asleep and now we need to wake up and shake ourselves and Do some thing.

I Like what John Kennedy Used to say

"Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You Ask What You Can Do For Your Country"

Future generation may have occasions to ask the question what our parents were thinking? Why didn't they wake up when they had chance.. we have to hear that question from them. Are you ready to answer these questions? If not than Are YoU ready to change the way you live?

If yes than come Lets Join together and do something.

The National crisis can be solved If we want and for that we all have our joint effort.

Here is how to start

1. How to solve Climate crisis

First Visit www.climatecrisis.net

Many of you must be thinking. why to solve Climate crisis? Why not first focus on other National Crisis than this  Global Crisis?

For that too I have an answer. For a matter of the fact Global warming is at its peak, in coming years we need to face many natural disasters which are going to be worse than what we have witnessed till date. The sea level is increasing tremendously that the time is not far when we need to build our global map again. 

Do You see this Blue Round mass. Thats Us. Our Earth. Everything have Ever happened to all of you, Happened here. All the triumphs, all the tragedies, all the famines, all the wars, all the major advances, its all happened here and thats what is on stake. Our ability to live on this Planet Earth, to have future civilisation. I believe this is a Moral Issue, It is Our time to cease this issue, It is our time to rise again, to secure our Future. We all need to imbibe it in Our mind.

I hate those people who come up like.. Ohh Goshhh.. India is not at all clean.. Helloooo...!! we are the people who makes it dirty. Ask yourself how many of you  have ever picked up a single wrapper on a road and threw it the dustbin.. Naaahhh..!! Thats not our Job.. right.. I know 90% of us will say that. Guys come on.. Chuck it ... Its our Country Our Home.. we need to let our hands to get dirty for making it clean. It hardly take 1 min to pick up a wrapper on road and throwing it in a dustbin. I guess I am not asking for much. We Civilians are capable of doing this much.

# Plant More Trees, Lots of Trees

# Buy Energy Efficient appliances

# Recycle

# When you can, walk or ride a bicycle

# Tell your elders, Friends, younger ones not to ruin the world that you Live in.

# If You are a parent, Join with your children to save the world they live in.

# Switch to renewable source of energy.

# Speak up in your community.

Wisely use electricity, It can decrease atleast 5% of Global warming.

# Call radio shows and write newspapers.

2. Illiteracy

I believe almost 90% of Indians have some maid servants working in their home or Labourers working at their work place. Have we ever tried to ask them, if their kids are studying or not??? Come on Friends.. second easy task to do. Give your free time to their kids, ask them to send their kids. An hour a week will do great. Its Up to you how much you can do. After giving them the basic education start getting them up to course books and get them enrolled in some university and make them pass atleast twelvth grade. You can make career of some one with this. Ask your family and friends for funding their studies.

3. Snub Extremist

I might be wrong here. Don't wanna create any controversy but some where I think the thing which is breaking our nation is the too deep rooted religionism and regionalism. Its not bad to preach a religion or to feel proud of the place you Live in but don't let it overpower your thinking. Respect others religion n region too. Give first priority to Humanism than religionism and regionalism. Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Marathi, Punjabi, Gujrati, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil, Malyali, Keralian before all this we are Indians and above that we all are humans. And even our religion preaches God is one. Believe in it.

These were my thoughts and ideas. I really want to do something. ... As actions speaks more than word and believe me all what I asked to do.. I am already working on it.

"If You Believe In Prayers, 

     Pray that people will find the strength to change"

In the words of the Old Proverb

"When you Pray, Move your feet"

At the end I'll say that learn as much as You can about the Ideas of dealing with social crisis , share them here and then we'll put your Ideas in action.

I will also Thank Al Gore, His Movie An Inconvenient Truth really Inspired me and moved me

I'll also like to thank one of my friend.. who once shared her Ideas for solving social crisis at our level which really Inspired me.
