Women are God's wonderful creation of will -power ,beauty ,elegance and soft nature .We say that our own Mother is God's disguise on earth not only because she brings life to earth but also she knows how to protect the lives of her surroundings.Such women always spend their times taking care of her family and kids.She spends most of her time cleaning ,cooking and serving them like a fairy tale Cinderella who gets tarnished among the works.Very few, mostly working women manage to become the beauty Princess Cinderella .

Let me brief it out ,
Two old college friends Priya and Mala suddenly meet at a shopping mall.They identify each other and had a short conversation.

At first sight,
Priya was amazed to see Mala standing before her like a dark beauty Queen Cleopatra but Mala was shocked to see Priya's looks.

Mala :
"Is this the same Priya that I saw three years before  .You look like a toasted egg ".

Priya :
"Well,I have no time to spend rejuvenating my good old looks.I am very busy and have a tight schedule with household works and my two kids"

Mala:
"Ah I see .I was shocked to see you.You were the angel of our college with the best looks.But,now ...So are you working ?"

Priya:
"No.I am studying MBA through correspondence and also taking care of my family.You look fresh as a flower.Any secrets ? and tell me what do you do?"

Mala:
"I have a son going to school and I am working in a consultancy.My good looks are the result of my presentation"

Full stop....

Here just note this single word called as " Presentation ".We have heard and accepted the fact that " beauty is skin deep and also it depends upon the eyes of the beholder.Also the true beauty lies within ".Now,here comes an important word The PRESENTATION .Yes Presentation means, the way the things are presented , when they please our eyes be it from outer self or inner self are definitely the real beauty.

In simpler terms , when asked who is the most beautiful women on earth ,without any hesitation my answer would be "MY MOM".I have known her from the day I was born, been with her in her ups and downs ,learned how to be presentable in terms of talking and mingling with relations and friends and more importantly her love and care for her children.She presented herself as a symbol of love and sacrifice.

But,your answer can differ from mine. It mainly depends upon on how close we are to the real person or on how presentable they were to our eyes when we saw them either real or through media .

I have seen only once "Mother Teresa " in my school days but heard and read a lot about her.She was very old but we had lots of expectation and love for this great women.She PRESENTED herself very well with her Charity works, a beauty from within called Love and Care.Also every media be it a Cinema ,Television ,Newspaper or Blogging ,they all need and look for peoples who represent themselves well in whichever field they are into.I may like Micheal Jackson who presented himself as the King of Pop (the legend) , you may like Shahrukh Khan who presents himself as a good actor or   another person may like Sachin Tendulakar who presented himself as a good cricketer (the God of Indian Cricket) .

Let me cite one more example ,

I look so tired and dull in the evening without cleaning the home .My husband comes home.He sees me and never bothered to ask me anything since he feels this is how I am. Also,seeing the untidy house he shouts ,"Why is the house like this ? Have you not organised it well?

I tell him that I am not feeling well and looking for an answer from him.But all he does is get back to his room without responding.

If the same wife is presentable meaning she looked clean and fresh ,with or without makeup , his answer differs .He might even put some tea and give it to you.This is Human Nature.


Every Woman wants to woo her Man yet very few know the Truth "

The husband gets to see many women in his workplace presenting themselves in good and neat looks , and even on the streets.He comes straight away to his home where he finds his wife just the opposite.Imagine the consequences.

Not every man gets an Aishwarya Rai or Preethi Zinda as their wives.A woman who has good looks but a bad behaviour turns off any person be it a man or woman.Similarly, a woman with good heart but unclean and untidy also turns off others. A man believes his wife who is a short ,dark women to be his beauty if she pleases his eyes or his senses with a quality like love ,affection or be a good organiser of his home. So is the vice versa.


Beauty via Stumbleupon
The Real essence of True beauty of a Woman is a quality that pleases the eyes or the senses with the way it is PRESENTED to others be it a Love, Affection, Looks, Beauty, Communication or being a good organiser .Every women should be healthy or look healthy . A worn and torn out women gets many pity eyes peering on her .But any women ,dark or fair ,short or tall ,young or old if they are healthy and presentable to the eyes ,then they have learned where the true beauty lies.

Water is the main and important basic need for all living beings .I cant live without drinking water at least once in two hours.Such is the weather in India with the heat touching 100 degree Fahrenheit in Summer from Jan to May.Also,water is the main source of infectious disease such as chorea, malaria, diarrhea, typhoid, jaundice and recent addition being Chickenguyna.Several people die,some struggle to death with these diseases and some with its aftermath effects.We cant avoid water to control these disease but have to treat them water before it is POTABLE.

Chlorine was first added to our drinking water in the late 1800s and it is still the standard water treatment today.Regarding the cost ,our municipalities treat water on a massive scale using Chlorine.Yuck,I could even smell them ,taste the chlorine when I some time drink water from my KITCHEN TAP.When at a tender age,I was told that they are cleaned water and so is the smell. Oh, my Grandma doesn't know the real Science behind it. Even though there is a permissible amount limit that is added to purify water as done even today by our Government who has a strict control over it, a little higher Chlorine still causes the increases the risk of cancer and other health hazards .

"Chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times. It is an insidious poison. While it prevented epidemics of one disease, it was creating others. Two decades after the start of Chlorinating our drinking water, [1904], the present epidemic of heart trouble, cancer and senility began."   - Dr Joseph M Price

Okay,then I can hear that you are asking me whether water purifiers are safe and what about mineral water ?.The fact is that 65% of the household in South India incl.Mumbai (80%) and around use Water purifiers or mineral waters for drinking purposes .They too , I believe are chlorinated water.

Also, Swimming pools are sanitized using Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA)generated chlorine. Swimming in this water for a long time increases the risk of cancer. (Source: TOI) .

SEA water as we all know is the worst water to drink yet again they need proper and reliable treatment.

So is there any SAFE WATER around ? ah..I could recollect my environmental engineering and few topics of interests here.

Rainwater harversting : How many of you know or interested in Rain water harvesting?
Rainwater harvesting is the accumulating and storing, of rainwater for reuse .It has been used to provide drinking water, water for livestock, water for irrigation, as well as other typical uses given to water.Water collected from the ground, sometimes from areas which are especially prepared for this purpose, is called Stormwater harvesting.

Even this requires treatment before drinking.

So what are the treatments?.Here are few which I know,might provide a little info for those interested.

Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, materials, and biological contaminants from contaminated water .Simple procedures such as boiling or the use of a household activated carbon filter are not sufficient for treating all the possible contaminants that may be present in water from an unknown source.

General Methods
  1. Physical processes such as filtration and sedimentation
  2. Biological processes such as slow sand filters or activated sludge,
  3. Chemical processes such as flocculation and chlorination and
  4. Electromagnetic radiation such as ultraviolet light.
So we can see that Chlorination is an important treatment in water from the above .Okay,coming back to our Topic about the Chlorination which means that some form of chlorine or its compounds such as chloramine or chlorine dioxide are used to disinfect water since Chlorine is a strong oxidant that rapidly kills many harmful micro-organisms. Because chlorine is a toxic gas, there is a danger of a release associated with its use.It is solved by use of sodium hypochlorite which releases free chlorine when dissolved in water.

One drawback is that chlorine from any source reacts with natural organic compounds in the water to form potentially harmful chemical by-products trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs), both of which are carcinogenic in large quantities and regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Drinking Water Inspectorate in the UK.  (from Wikipedia)

Now,my conclusion is that water which is got by Purification and which is POTABLE should be free of Chlorine too.That is CHLORINE -FREE WATER Any new ideas and budding scientists can leave your views here to take the topic further.

This is a CAUSE RELATED POST AGAINST CHLORINE IN DRINKING WATER joining hands with Indiblogger , Mr. Bejon Misra  and NEED SUPPORTERS  like you! 

Chlorination of drinking water causes Cancer and other medical problems

Miscarriages
Stillbirths
Birth Defects (Spina Bifida)
Breast cancer
Kidney cancer
Bladder cancer
Bowel cancer
Rectal cancer
Strokes
Heart disease / Heart attack
Reduced sperm count
Fertility problems (Endometriosis)
Impaired thyroid
Lung damage
Immune system breakdown
Triggers asthma

Urge people around you to use CHLORINE -FREE WATER . Research and share your knowledge and spread the message
