STOP! Don’t call your raddiwala…until you read this! weekend, these homemakers organized a gettogether for kids! The objective…to tear the unused pages! They were surprised, that there were hundreds of pages of all sizes from their kids’ notebooks! To encourage them to spread this eco message…they nominated amongst the kids’ themselves as eco-volunteers (will tear Says, Meena “When I noticed kids throwing all the blank pages and hand over to these away their notebooks after use…it (notebooks) women) and eco-warriors (will go house to had many blank pages in them. I asked the kids house and spread the word)! to tear (unused pages) and give them to me. I then segregated the blank pages and bound The group aims to hand over these notebooks them into reusable ones!”. She then spread the to the less-privileged children of our word around to her friends in the area! On a neighborhood. Says Shoba “What started off as Yes! A new initiative by a group of ‘enterprising’ homemakers of HRBR Layout has taken off with gusto! Tentatively, titled ‘eco-notebook’ these women are urging students not to give away their notebooks to the raadiwala…instead hand them over for reuse!
a small task…has now become a passion! We plan to approach schools, colleges, apartments in due course and try collecting as many notebooks as possible. We are hopeful that this eco-project will lead to much bigger tasks in protecting our nature / neighborhood in future”. The fourth meeting of this group is slated on Friday, 11th Feb at JGRV School, HRBR 1st block at 8.00 pm. To be a part Call: 98863 01816 / 2545 5572. Probably, raddiwalas of our neighborhood may have to cope up with ‘weight-loss’ from now on!

‘Ayusha Palanam Vedam’ – Way of life!
‘Ayusha Palanam Vedam’ (meaning Ayurveda) was the first words that came from renowned Ayurvedacharya Dr. K R V Mali, who epitomizes all that Ayurveda stands for! For this affable doctor…Ayurveda, is a way of life! The knowledge that has been passed down by his father/grandfather and their ancestors is what he holds close to his heart! The inspiration behind the popular Chaithanya Health Centre, an authentic ayurvedic treatment centre located at HRBR 1st Block (Near Maxwell Public School) was on a visit last week…when the conversation took place! Originally belonging to Kerala, the ‘Ayurvedapurusha’ (as he is known) has been practicing ayurveda for over 25 years and has opened ‘SRI NILAYAM’, a reputed ayurvedic resort at Calicut…where people across the globe visit for treatment. This teacher’s philosophy is simple: To integrate the spiritual and material aspects of ayurveda into modern life! He goes on to add that…as per his methodology he and his followers of ayurveda are ‘Vaidyans’ who look at the problems holistically! He believes in the ‘karmic’ theory that is the root cause of all problems and hence the treatment is based on purification of the body first and then the mind over a period of time…coupled with best practices, one can lead a long and a healthy life! Hence…his panacea for his patients is Medicine…Dhanam (offerings)…Chanting (sholaks)…Homas followed by diet and lifestyle!
Hear! Hear! The happiest time of the week is 7.26 pm on a Saturday evening, according to a latest British study! In the research, early Saturday evening emerged as the preferred time for millions because they are finally able to relax and unwind after a busy week at work. Peter Morton, from Multibionta, which conducted the study, says: “It takes the average person a little while to wind down from work, but by Saturday night the majority of us are feeling great. Whether it's watching our favorite television program or getting ready to go out with friends or spending quality time with the family, it is the time of the week when we feel at our happiest”.
Explaining further…the doctor says that at Chaitanya, a patient is first cleaned of all toxins in the body through ‘Sneham’ and ‘Swedham’…followed by ‘Abhyangam’ (Body Massage) and then the treatment follows. He adds that the therapy depends on a case to case basis and not applicable generally!
Two thirds of people who were interviewed claim they live for the weekends, simply 'going through the motions' during the week. Seven out of ten said thinking about their plans for the weekend was the only thing which keeps them going at work. Nearly eight out of ten people admitted counting down the days and hours until the weekend. The study also shows the same percentage of people get a 'Sunday feeling' most weekends when they know the working week is approaching.
One of the doctor’s uniqueness is ‘Infertility Treatment’. Over the years he has

helped many women conceive, by using the principles and practices of Ayurveda successfully. Two reputed doctors who are present at the centre first screen the patients and later the Doctor provides guidance personally.
Quizzed further,
on why people ought to come to Chaitanya…he smiles! “Simple! Because we have the best doctors, dedicated staff and the personal attention…and mainly the ayurvedic practices is in tune with the texts our ancients handed over eons ago”.
an enjoyable weekend - is the lowest point for most! On Monday morning, 12 per cent of people who have children feel 'sad' they won't get to see their children much during the week. A fifth of those polled dread their busy workloads, and a third feel depressed that the next weekend is so far away.
Peter Morton added: “Sometimes it is the little things that can have biggest impact and simply organizing little treats for each day to boost your mood as the week progresses can make all the difference to how we feel”. Agencies
What is his message to society: “Be in tune with Nature! Try to inculcate the rich spiritual practices and traditions what our country has to offer! And don’t forget to protect our Dharma” As I walk out of his cabin…the words ‘Ayusha Palanam Vedam’ (Ayurveda or Way of life) refuse to go out of my mind…what the good-natured doctor stands for!
