An ever remembered ‘cricketttest’match between India and Australia held in Mohali in 2008.It is indeed ,full of so many remarkable events. Sachin Tendulkar has crossed the highiest run (aggregrate) in the test cricket scored by Brian Lara of West Indies. so far, Sachin is not only at the top of the list in this regard but also he has become the first man in the cricket history, to be holding the ‘Twelve thousand’runs in his credit. A historic moment to the Indians really. A rareand unattainable honour that Sachin deserves today. Beside this, our ex-captain of Indian cricket team,Sourav Ganguli grabbed the membership of the club of ‘seven thousand’ runs. He has also made his long awaited ‘sixteenth’ century’,possiblythe last one in his career. Harbhajan in his test career, still waiting for ‘Three hundred’ wickets which would be undoubtably a creditable event. There is more! Amit Mishra, a new comer,who picked up ‘Five’ wickets in the first innings on his debut. It was a glorious moment to him indeed,and we also feel proud of this new cricketer. In a speedy style,Goutam Gambhir offered a century to us which added a valueable contribution in making the indian total score to be high as well as unovercomeable. Ultimately, the Indian team won by the recordnumber of runs of 320, that it won ever by such massive difference.
What a colourful game could be the cricket, that we have witnessed after a long being? The king of all games has proved once its excellency!

Environmental Disorder.
Environmental Disorder:
Our most advanced living planet earth, has been confronting several threats and shocks environmentally due to recklessly used of nature profoundly.The present atmosphere, water, soil and other natural products have been contaminated due to our careless uses extensively. Such profound contamination in the nature, has brought a drastic change in the charecteristics of those natural products like water,atmosphere,soil and others.
The considerable change in the characteristics have been followed jn the atmosphere which appears as ‘global warming’and is really a headache to us. Profusely emitted carbon-di-oxide,fluorocarbon,sulphur-di-oxide,nitrogen-di-oxide etc, have altered the chemistry of the atmosphere and its compositions as well. For this why,the earth is emiting heat more in comparison with it absorbs heat from the sun. Another frightening matter that appears in the sea lavel which is rising by breaking all optimum parameter.According to the US scientists,the sea lavel could up minimum5- 6 feet by the begining of twenty second century.It is really alarming to those countries, residing at the lower lavel.The present rate of rainfalls have been declined and have been fluctuated also significantly. Inconrtrolable drought and grimous flood have been a common phenomenon throughabout the world. Production of crops have been severely affected due to this unnaturalities. Beside this,the fertility of soil has been declined considerably due to prolonged use of chemicals carelessly.
It is million’s question, how to get rid of ? First of all,we do need to take greater care of all products of nature, those we indispensably use for our purposes.Industrial wastes and obnoxious all should be run through the water like sea, river and big water sources in controlled manner. Sustained careful drive would be necessary to eliminate or lift up such wastes and obnoxious materials from the water sources. No any water sources should be fill up to serve our any particular purpose.More forestations are required to keep up with industrials fumes and focil fuel generatated from gigantic vehicalisations. Emphasis on organic fertilizer is needful during cultivation utmost.
Such environmental disorders have brought already damage and destruction for the birds and beasts, living in the water.In a study it was observed that, more than 40% common bird specis have been abolished for last 25 years throughabout the world. Several beasts living in the water,have not been identified for a long period of time. Still now, proper careand preservation for the nature,may only provide us a safer world for living freely and fairly.Otherwise,our civilization could be

Our Safe Life.
The concept of ‘safe life’ has been changed with the change of the prevailing phenomenon that affects our life significantly. Previously.we had the perception of ‘safe life’, was to achieve more wealth as far as possible. Our endeavours were delimited by the emphatic tends towards to be ‘richness’. But looking at the climatic changes and suurounding environmental disorders,our rethinkings have started in new mode. We do need to think the vital factors of climatic disorder rather than achieving wealth.
The greenhouse gases (GHG) are increasing day by day, creating severe problem to the environment by contaminating the air basically. Air is significantly contaminated today, due to massive industrialization, incontrollable transportations and forestry uses for domestic purpose and so on.The lavel of carbon-di-oxide is on ascending order.which could be very harmful to our health.It might happen so, that we were facing ‘breathing trouble’ due to the existence of higher percentage of carbon-di-oxide (co2) in the air. Now, we have to think of fighting with such fatal co2 to keep the atmosphere at least at good condition. Our atmosphere should be kept at usable lavel for the future. Otherwise our survival would be threatened very badly.
Yes, we do need the safe life for us unquestionably. We have to be more aware of the preservation of nature and animal planet as well. More and more plantation will be required in this hard task of protecting the nature. We have to plant individually as fer as possible and necessary care should be taken on these plantations for its growth extensively. Contaminaton of water should be handled very strictly. The day will come, when drinking water could not be provided to a large number of population. Deforestation is needed to check severely. More forest will accommodate more lives. Forest can save humans as well as the animal planet satisfactorily.
Our ‘safe life’ is indispensably depending uponthe protection and nurturing of the nature perfectly.It could be done by protecting all natural sources gifted by the nature and taking care of thos living planet seriously and sincerely.

Children Soldiers.
The use of children as soldiers has been universally condemned as abhorrent and unacceptable. Yet over the last ten years hundreds of thousands of children have fought and died in conflicts around the world.
Children involved in armed conflict are frequently killed or injured during combat or while carrying out other tasks. They are forced to engage in hazardous activities such as laying mines or explosives, as well as using weapons. Child soldiers are usually forced to live under harsh conditions with insufficient food and little or no access to healthcare. They are almost always treated brutally, subjected to beatings and humiliating treatment. Punishments for mistakes or desertion are often very severe. Girl soldiers are particularly at risk of rape, sexual harassment and abuse as well as being involved in combat and other tasks
. Children are forcibly recruited into armed groups in many conflicts but the vast majority of child soldiers are adolescents between the age of 14 and 18 who "volunteer" to join up. However, research has shown that a number of factors may be involved in making the decision to actually join an armed conflict and in reality many such adolescents see few alternatives to enlisting. War itself is a major determinant. Economic, social, community and family structures are frequently ravaged by armed conflict and joining the ranks of the fighters is often the only means of survival. Many youths have reported that desire to avenge the killing of relatives or other violence arising from war is an important motive.
Poverty and lack of access to educational or work opportunities are additional factors - with joining up often holding out either the promise or the reality of an income or a means of getting one. Coupled with this may be a desire for power, status or social recognition. Family and peer pressure to join up for ideological or political reasons or to honour family tradition may also be motivating factors. Girl soldiers have reported joining up to escape domestic servitude or enforced marriage or get away from domestic violence, exploitation and abuse.
The problem is most critical in Africa, where children as young as nine have been involved in armed conflicts. Children are also used as soldiers in various Asian countries and in parts of Latin America, Europe and the Middle East.
The majority of the world's child soldiers are involved in a variety of armed political groups. These include government-backed paramilitary groups, militias and self-defence units operating in many conflict zones. Others include armed groups opposed to central government rule, groups composed of ethnic religious and other minorities and clan-based or factional groups fighting governments and each other to defend territory and resources.
Most child soldiers are aged between 14 and 18, While many enlist "voluntarily" research shows that such adolescents see few alternatives to involvement in armed conflict. Some enlist as a means of survival in war-torn regions after family, social and economic structures collapse or after seeing family members tortured or killed by government forces or armed groups. Others join up because of poverty and lack of work or educational opportunities. Many girls have reported enlisting to escape domestic servitude, violence and sexual abuse.
Forcible abductions, sometimes of large numbers of children, continue to occur in some countries. Children as young as nine have been abducted and used in combat.
Demobilization, disarmament and reintegration (DDR) programs specifically aimed at child soldiers have been established in many countries, both during and after armed conflict and have assisted former child soldiers to acquire new skills and return to their communities. However, the programs lack funds and adequate resources. Sustained long-term investment is needed if they are to be effective.
Despite growing recognition of girls' involvement in armed conflict, girls are often deliberately or inadvertently excluded from DDR programs. Girl soldiers are frequently subjected to rape and other forms of sexual violence as well as being involved in combat and other roles. In some cases they are stigmatized by their home communities when they return. DDR programs should be sensitively constructed and designed to respond to the needs of girl soldiers.
The UN Security council has issued a series of resolutions condemning the use of child soldiers and proposing measures to stop child recruitment. These include dialogue with parties to armed conflict aimed at the immediate demobilization of children; and targeted measures to sanction those who continue to recruit and use them as soldiers. Such measures could include the suspension of military aid or assistance, weapons or travel bans of asset freezing.
The UN General Assembly, the UN Commission on Human Rights, the African Union (formerly the Organization for African Unity), the European Union, the Organization of American States and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe have all condemned the recruitment and use of child soldiers.

" Darkness From Diabetes"
Diabetes Can damage your eyes. Your eyes are most important organ. So you should be aware of diabetes. Let us have a look on eyes.Your eye has a lens and an aperture (opening) at the front, whichbrings objects into focus on the retina at the back of the eye. Theretina is made up of a delicate tissue that is sensitive to light,like film in the old cameras before the digital age.At the center of the retina is the macula which is a small areaabout the size of a pinhead. This is the most highly specializedpart of the retina and it is vital because it enables us to seefine detail to read small print. The other parts of the retina giveus side vision (peripheral vision). The rest of the eye in front ofthe retina is a clear jelly-like substance called the vitreoushumour. Diabetes can affect the eye in a number of ways. These usuallyinvolve the fine network of blood vessels in the retina - the mostsever condition that can occur is diabetic retinopathy.Affect - Temporary blurringYour vision may become blurred for a few days or weeks while yourdiabetes is first being controlled. This is due to the swelling ofthe lens of the eye.Affect - CataractThis can occur in two forms:Young people with diabetes can develop a special type of cataract.Although their vision gets worse, it can be restored by surgery;older people with diabetes can be especially prone to developingcataracts. Cataracts can be successfully removed by surgery andusually it is possible to insert a lens implant. This procedure isnot for everyone.Affect - Diabetic retinopathyThe most serious diabetic eye condition involves the retina and iscalled diabetic retinopathy. This condition is very common inpeople who have had diabetes for a long time. Your doctor may beable to see abnormalities in your eyes, but there is no threat toyour sight.There are two types of diabetic retinopathy which can damage yoursight. Both involve the fine network of blood vessels in theretina. They are described below.Type 1 - MaculopathyThis happens when the blood vessels in the retina start to leak. Ifthe macula is affected, you will find that your central visiongradually gets worse. You may find it difficult to recognizepeople's faces in the distance or to see details like small print.The amount of central vision that is lost varies from person toperson. However everyday sight for getting around the house andoutside (navigation vision) will be preserved. It is quite rare forsomeone with maculopathy to lose all their sight.Type 2 - Proliferative diabetic retinopathySometimes diabetes can cause the blood vessels in the retina tobecome blocked. If this happens then new blood vessels form in theeye. This is nature's way of trying to repair the damage so thatthe retina has a new blood supply.Unfortunately these new blood vessels are weak. They are also inthe wrong place - growing on the surface of the retina and into thevitreous jelly. As a result these blood vessels can bleed veryeasily and cause scar tissue to form in the eye. The scarring pullsand distorts the retina. When the retina is pulled out of positionthis is called retinal detachment. This condition is more rare thanbackground retinopathy and is more often found in people who havebeen insulin dependent for many years. The new blood vessels willrarely affect your vision, but their consequences, such as bleedingor retinal detachment can cause your vision to get worse suddenly.Your eyesight may become blurred and patchy as the bleedingobscures part of your vision. Without treatment, total loss ofvision can happen in proliferative retinopathy.Although your vision may be good, changes can be taking place toyour retina that needs treatment. Most sight loss in diabetes ispreventable: early diagnosis is vital have an eye examination every year do not wait until your vision has deteriorated to havean eye test.Your family doctor or optometrist can examine for diabeticretinopathy. Remember, however, that if your vision is getting worse, this doesnot necessarily mean you have diabetic retinopathy. It may simplybe a problem that can be corrected by glasses.

Are We In Danger ?
Environment has greater impact on human life. Degraded or contaminated environment can produce so many difficulties and disorders in the life of human. Human life needs well supported and favourable environment inevitably to live satisfactorily. Wealth and money may provide us smoothness, comfortability and standard way of living in convenient manner. Our progress, our civilization whatsoever is achieved by us through the process of industrial growth and enhancement in our society, has deteriorated the condision of the environment terribly. We have gone far, by paying more attention emphatically on the industrial growth and technological advancement, just overlooking the vital matter of preserving the ‘environment’.
Environment generally ,is affected by industrial dust,fume, fosil of fuels that particularly emit carbon-di-oxide,carbon monoxide,sulphar-di-oxide like fatal gases. Those emitted gases are the well performer of bringing so many fatal diseases to the human life.More industry in the congested manner could be caused of such greater emission of fatal gases.We are living in danger! Present condition of the environment is threatening us severely. Environment covers a larger area of air, water,soil and others. Scarecity of drinking water is in increasing order day by day, and is generated from the mixing of industrial wasts in the natural sources of water and soil. Industrial wasts are really headache to the industry entrepreneurs. Without caring the gifts of nature properly, we are compelled to face the reaction and responses from the nature aggressively.The contaminated nature has been taking revenge to us.
At this crucial stage of environment, we have to take unending measures to safeguard it for the sake of human life. More plantation not only in the surrounding industrial areas but also here and there in our locality, beside our path, everwhere possibly.Contamination and wastage of drinking water should be restricted under rigid control strategically.Artificial water tank can be made by taking useless or discarded land. Such water tanks made artificially, could help in drought or summer season. Necessary measures are to be taken as to avail the chained effect as well to maintain ecological balance to keep our environment in such condition as it may not damage our civilization.
