Review of "Humour with Hormones" - A initiative by Women's Development Cell, MKBU

Hello friends,
Today I attended the third programme organised by the Women’s Development Cell of Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University.

After the last experiences of the programmes organised by the development cell, I was not much excited to attend this event.

Ohhh! You forgot what happened in the past programmes?????

No worries!!!! Click on the below image to rewind and see.



The title of the programme was “Humour with Hormones”. This family programme or public awareness programme was amalgamated with Quawali – Bhavai – Dance.



The keynote speaker of the event was Dr.Kala Shah (Senior Gynaecologist, Ahmedabad). She was going to talk about the Menopause and Andropause in a very light way.

The event started with the speech by Dr. Zala sir (VC,MKBU). The speech by our VC was good. According to him, Whenever we talk about women empowerment we refer to names like Bachendri Pal ,Kiran Bedi etc. Women empowerment means to make women strong in the daily life. They are already strong but to develop their resistance power against anything wrong happens with them.

Dr.Kala Shah also talked about this natural phenomenon of Menopause and Andropause is proper way, though I disagree with her at some point, which I will discuss later on. She informed us about the symptoms, what precautions should be taken and about love and care given to the family members in this stage.

Before we went there, we were informed that the session will be creative. I was disappointed because it was not creative. The use of Music and drama and dance was not so creative. I felt like I am coming from a rural area, where people don’t have any knowledge about these natural things. Dance was performed to highlight the symptoms of Menopause in females and skit was performed to highlight the symptoms of Andropause in Male. Then Quawali was performed about dilemma of women in this phase and the moral lesson of family bonding was given.

The symptoms, the stages of the psychological aspects of women undergoing Menopause and its treatment were very explained by Dr.Kala Shah.
Though not much impressed by her...as I felt Whatever Science might say but she was also talking about typical conditioning. 
 As usual there were many Sheeples in this event also.
She said that for any successful marriage girl has to compromise. Compromise is a virtue for them and this virtue makes them “Mahan”. I wholeheartedly disagree with this point. By giving the title of “Mahanata”, girls are always conditioned in one or the other way.

In the last part of the session, the students of Life Science Department of MKBU performed a skit “Ladki”. This skit was excellent part of this programme. All the students performed it beautifully.
Like every other programme of Women’s Development Cell, the food arrangement was very good.

Overall today’s programme was much better than the past events organised by them.

Still after every attending every programme of women Empowerment I always feel what is the use of such programmes? Just by talking or spreading awareness will everything be fine.

THINK!!!!!!

"RIP"; Rest in Peace those who are Alive....

Hello Friends, After a long time I am writing here. Hope you all are fine. This time I have come up with a different interpretation of the phrase “RIP”. Mostly this phrase “RIP”; Rest in Peace is used for the people who are no more. We use this phrase to give sympathy towards the departed soul. The soul may get peace wherever it travels. No one exactly knows where the soul travels. Sometimes this phrase is used out of care and sometimes just for show off on social media. While sitting alone near a cemetery, a thought struck in my mind. Why do we use RIP only for dead people????? We can also use it for those who are alive. Many time people use RIP when a person is dead. The same people might have harassed the dead person when he is alive. So what’s the point of “RIP”? Suppose in the day time you behave very badly with someone. Is he/she going to get sound and peaceful sleep at night? The dead person will never come back so we just say “RIP”. Of course ever...

" The Winged Word"- David Green

In my Graduation syllabus, I had a book named “ The Winged word”. This anthology is edited by David Green. It is anthology of poems compiled for the students of English literature in the B.A courses of Indian Universities. The chronological order, in which the poets are arranged in this book, helps the students to note the development of English poetry from one age to another. Referring to this book after a long time span, gives me a immense joy. There are many poems in this book. We were given some selected poems to study during three years of graduation. The poems which were in my syllabus are as follow:-    1.)   I Find No Peace – Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-42)    2.) My Friend, the Things That Do Attain –Henry Howard (1517- 47)    3.)
