i went for a trip to orissa for ten days. it was a trip with particular purpose and we met various people, especailly from villages. see in orissa there is a lots of problems as companies are setting up various projects , but the question is for whom? they will say that it is for the people, but my question , which people. those people who are rich and powerful? what about the poor and common people? also they are snatching their land like anything as if the land is theirs. even they won't give compensation, but do you ever consider, how much money they give it will never ever compensate their land as the land is their livelihood, not only farm land but their homes also. please guys do consider about it? also they won't get job because they are not that too much educated to get a job in corpoates, where even the highly educated people struggle to get there. on this trip we met villagers and try to understand their problems, share their plights and share our feelings and some knowledge that we have. i went to a particular village named" kuchaipudar", it is so beautiful and i was like " oh my god! " when i reached there.it's so beautiful, we took bath in the river, and even answer the call of nature in the forest, and mind you there is so much harmony that our stool are not wasted. some wild pigs will come up and eat it, but here in cities everyone is like parasites where everyone will try to take some thing out from others, and not returning anything. the main thing is , in this particular village, some aluminium companies are setting up new industries but at the cost of these villagers and also these plants are really harmful for the earth. i have seen their waste products , pilling up huge amount of chemicals and it has become a hill, where no one can get anything. these triblas are fighting against the atricocities and the sad thing is even the government are supporting them. why so cruel behaviour to the innocent and simple people. india is a huge country and they got only this particular beautiful and fertile place to set up their plants ? why? we have a lots of "banjar jamin" , why they are not setting the plant there.
guys my main point is " THIS PARTIICULAR INDUSTRIALISATION IS JUST A SYMBOL OF POWER RELATIONS NOT DEVELOPMENT".
why should a few people get rich at the cost of majority common people? why? if you people read this blog ,, then do kindly think about it, because the time will come when some powerful and rich people will ask you to give your land for their industrial plants. will you submit yourself to this atrocities? please thinkk about it..

Tobacco a journey to death.
“The tobacco industry is the greatest killing organization in the world. The harm done by all the armies in the world combined, will not begin to equal the damage inflicted upon the human race by the combined activity of the cultivators, manufacturers, and distributors of tobacco.”—Dr. Jesse M. Gehman, Smoke Over America (East Aurora, N.Y: The Roycrofters, 1943), p 216.
"Tobacco alone is predicted to kill a billion people this [21st] century, 10 times the toll it took in the 20th century, if current trends hold," says the Associated Press article, "Tobacco could kill 1B this century," The Detroit News, p 4A (11 July 2006).
"Tobacco producers are "terrorists", Seffrin tells Israel Cancer Association," The Jerusalem Post (31 March 2005): "All those involved in the production and marketing of tobacco products are 'terrorists', declared Dr John Seffrin, president of the American Cancer Society and elected president of Geneva-based International Union Against Cancer (UICC)."
What is tobacco?
Tobacco is the dried leaf of a plant that grows in many parts of the world. Tobacco contains many chemicals including a drug called nicotine, which is a mild stimulant and very addictive, tar and carbon monoxide (the same gas that car exhausts pump out). Tobacco is found in cigarettes and cigars.
Cigarettes may also be known as; fags, smokes, joints and roll-ups.
Immediate effects of smoking
Nicotine is a powerful, fast acting drug, when smoke is inhaled, the nicotine effect hits the brain about 8 seconds later. Nicotine speeds up the heart rate and increases blood pressure. The carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke greatly affects the heart as it reduces the bloods ability to carry oxygen. Nicotine helps reduce stress, anxiety and boredom. However, this effect fades quickly, which encourages continual use. If you are a first time user it may make you feel sick.
If you smoke regularly it makes your breath smell (known as halitosis) and can turn your fingers and teeth yellowy-brown.
smoking could affect the way you look
Most people know smoking seriously affects internal organs, particularly the heart and lungs, but did you know it also affects a person’s appearance by altering the skin, body weight and shape. Smoking can also have a noticeable ageing effect on the body. A smoker’s skin is estimated to wrinkle up to 20 years earlier than that of a non-smoker.
The skin is affected by tobacco in two ways, firstly tobacco released into the environment has a drying effect on the skin’s surface. Secondly, because smoking restricts blood vessels, it reduces the amount of blood flowing to the skin, so depriving your skin of oxygen and essential nutrients.
Body weight and shape can be greatly affected by smoking tobacco. Smokers in general tend to be thinner than non-smokers and this is believed to be because nicotine acts as an appetite suppressant and increases the metabolic rate.
Long-term effects of smoking tobacco
Tobacco and smoking cause long-term damage to your health and can kill. Smoking causes chest problems, cancer, infertility and heart disease. Smoking may also lead to an earlier menopause.
Lung cancer is the cancer most associated with smoking. Lung cancer kills more people than any other type of cancer and at least 80% of these deaths are caused by smoking. However, there are other types of cancer, which can be caused by smoking, these include: cancer of the mouth, lip and throat, cervical cancer, anal cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer and leukaemia.
Tobacco contributes to at least 2000 limb amputations each year. Smoking will also raise your blood cholesterol levels and blood pressure and these 2 factors are the main 2 reasons why people get coronary heart disease.
Every puff of a cigarette irritates the lining in your mouth. This can lead to sores, ulcers and can damage your gums, causing you to loose your teeth.
On average smokers have far more complications during pregnancy such as premature birth or even a still-birth. Women who smoke during pregnancy are also at risk of giving birth to a lighter baby (an average 8ozs/200 grams lighter than babies born to non-smokers) and a low birth weight is associated with higher risks of death and disease in infancy and early childhood. There is also an increased risk of cot death in babies whose mother has smoked during pregnancy. Smoking in men has also been associated with low sperm counts and impotence.
About passive smoking
Breathing in other peoples smoke, known as passive smoking can cause breathing difficulties, asthma and cancer. More than 17,000 children under the age of 5 are admitted to hospital every year because of the effects of passive smoking. Children are more susceptible to the effects of passive smoking and children who live in a household where both parents smoke, are receiving a nicotine equivalent of smoking 80 cigarettes a day.
Giving up
If you want to give up you should prepare yourself mentally, firstly set a date and know what you will gain from giving up. Secondly analyse what triggers you to smoke, is it boredom, alcohol or parties? Giving up can leave you with a sense of emptiness for at least a month so try and think of something to overcome this, it could be a new hobby.
Get professional help from your doctor,Make a list of reasons why you want to stop and then use these reasons to help you when things are tough. Most people will use a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) when trying to give up, ensure you choose the right method for you. The NRT patches are the best option for you if you are the kind of smoker who needs a cigarette within 30 minutes of waking. The patch delivers nicotine into the system steadily to reduce withdrawal effects. If you are more of a social smoker or smoke when stressed then gum or lozenges may suit you better and can help break down the association between smoking and certain emotions.
Most people, especially women also worry that when they give up they will put on weight, the good news is that exercise even a regular 20 minute walk will boost your metabolism far better than nicotine. Try drinking water or chewing gum to keep your mouth busy in place of a cigarette.
If you are going to give up you have to do it completely, if you cut down you are more likely to smoke each cigarette you do have more intensively and end up doing yourself more harm.
If you feel under pressure or upset in the first few weeks of giving up, fight off the temptation to smoke, don’t let it be an excuse for beginning to smoke again. It may help if you create a treat for yourself, how much do you spend on cigarettes? On average most people spend approximately £800 a year, so every week put the money you would have spent on cigarettes away and use it to treat yourself to new clothes or a holiday.
After giving up smoking your health will improve rapidly as your body begins to repair itself. You will have more energy, breathing will be easier and food will begin to taste better. More importantly your heart, lungs and bladder will begin to heal. You are classed as a non-smoker when you have been a year without a cigarette.
