Breathe Fresh to raise your IQ level.



According to a study in 2017, a report published in the Journal of Pediatrics, intake of polluted air  by women during preconception or one month after the preconception, can lead to defects for the new born's body and health.

It is indeed sad to realize that in this world of urbanization, pollution has taken control on our lives too. Allergies or other illnesses due to pollution in the city, itself was bit unmanageable, and now its messing with our precious lives. Birth of a baby with disabilities or defects in bodies is a major problem for the entire family and the baby too. There is a way out for allergies through some medical aids. But, when a baby is born with cleft lip or abnormal heart, its going to be a life time disaster for the child and its near and dear ones too.

A baby with a cleft lip.


Planting trees has always been a tagline for fresh air, but indeed it takes a long number of years for a sapling to grow into a big tree to accommodate a small amount of oxygen for the huge crowd of population. But, what can be the solution for the current generation?

According to Dr. Praveen Gupta, Director Neurology, Fortis Gurgaon, 'The pollutants through the blood of the children travels to different parts of the body including brain, which causes decrease in IQ level and other related problems.'

Children using masks to avoid direct intake of polluted air.

Air inside the average home is two to five times more polluted than the air outside. Its important to manage sources of indoor air pollution. The sources can be due to tobacco smoke, fragrance from air freshener's and candles, personal care products, etc.

Its high time now, that we work towards reduction or control of indoor as well as outdoor pollution pollution. We can implement some steps like:
  • Keep windows big in size and often open and close to help circulate air,
  • Use natural products,
  • Avoid smoking,
  • Spread awareness about the impact of  indoor and outdoor air pollution,
  • Buy real plants, etc.

Its a message to all of us, to save our children from any sort of disabilities and help them enjoy a healthy life. We need to be smart to help making the planet smart.

Why Strikes ? Hartals ? Bandhs ?

Strikes ? Hartals ? Bandhs ?  It takes a few seconds for me, to recollect and understand the difference between strikes, bandhs and hartals. But yes I must say, when you speak about the beauty of Kerala you cannot miss your thoughts on the ' Hartal state'. Most of the time people in India use this as their medium to communicate, or to convey their pain, or even their demands. What makes me wonder is, is this the only way? Shutting down shops, burning of buses,cancelling trains etc, are these the only things that we can do? Cartoon by: R K Laxman When it is ' a government of the people, by the people and for the people ', why the so called people have to suffer so much. Who are the so called people in the above mentioned Indian national  quote? Questions! Questions! Questions! As a citizen of India, I do appreciate freedom but its at times too expensive. If we look in to the impact of these  protest activities, the one who suffers is obviously you ...
