I had been a dreamer all my life but the one that I had at sunrise in my palatial house ‘Padmalayam’ in the village in Kannur was so surreal that I unreservedly rejected it as unhappenable but, with a hope that if Hitler could go mad, my mother, made of sterner stuff than Hitler’s composition, could brave the journey from Nairobi to somewhere in India across the Arabian sea and reach us. This was the dream that catapulted me from bed. For aeleven-year old, bed is heaven until disturbed. Mother had set sail in a country craft from Africa with my younger brother who was about 8, as steamers were busy carting war materials and soldiers and the hope of escape from Africa was dwindling day by day. Mother’s bravery was seconded by father whom his British bosses would not let go when Hitler was hitting them badly for sixes. So Amma and Kanthu, my brave brother, trusted wind power and sailed India wards reaching Kathiawar in Gujarat after nearly a month. Two huge tins of her special heavenly biscuits brought for her three children cooped up in Kannur saved the two from starvation as the sail boat had provision for less than 15 days only. From Kathiawar it was cattle class train to Bombay and a repeat class from Bombay to Madras from where mother telegraphed us which reached us through the telegramrunner Nambiar ten minutes after mother and brother reached home to a teary welcome by us all. That night the four children and mother cried, cried and cried, and pledged never to separate from each other. In that family of father, mother and four children, I, at 81, am the sole survivor now. I here by declare a war on wars.

Patients can also take a free bone density test which will help them to assess their bone condition. Special discounts will be offered to persons detected with problems that need further treatment. Its founder Dr. Jayashree said that joints are indispensable in our bones and are an integral part of our system. Freedom and flexibility to move is perhaps the most important aspect of the body. With age, the space between the bones and joints reduce as the lubrication begins to dry up. This leads to compressions on the nerves and the blood vessels passing to both the sides causing chronic and acute pain depending on the level of compression and location of the nerves. If left uncared for, it can lead to severe complications and inhibit even daily activities like walking, lifting, moving or even sleeping in certain angles. Allopathic intervention in extreme cases includes surgical intervention and lifelong intake of pain killers which cause chronic side effects. Ayurveda unlike allopathy is devoid of side effects. A localized oil therapy is done along with massage, fomentation and medicines to boost the immune system and strengthen the bones. It provides a lasting relief and in many cases will not even need surgical interventions. Its contact numbers are 99620 64381 and 2345 8181.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR An act of nobility Sir, I am a senior citizen fending for myself and residing on 7th Avenue, Ashok Nagar. On Oct. 15 at about 9.30 p.m, after making some purchases, I was struggling along Murthy Street on the way back home with 3 heavy bags. It had been raining heavily and roads were wet and slippery. Looking at my plight, a gentleman stopped his car and offered to drop me home. He was with his wife and I was initially reluctant and even suspicious. He convinced me that his intention was only to help and safely dropped me home. Even before I could thank him and get his number or invite him home, he just smiled and drove off. I just want to thank him and good Samaritans like him through your paper. – C.N. Madhava Rao, Ashok Nagar. Aadhar processing should be handed back to UIDAI Sir, This refers to the recent announcement in the media regarding setting up of Aadhaar camps by the Department of Census Operations in Chennai and elsewhere in the State to cover the uncovered population under the scheme. It must be stated that so long as the enrolment was done by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), its original visionary, through the nationalized banks and other agencies, it was a very smooth affair. Once it was made known by the erstwhile dispensation at the Centre that Aadhaar card was must to avail of the benefits under various schemes of the government, particularly the LPG subsidy, all hell broke loose and there was panic among the public who ran helterskelter to obtain the Aadhaar cards. It was during this time that the Census Department took over the issue of Aadhaar cards based on the National Population Register. There was a total pell-mell at all camps hurriedly set up the Census Department in association with the civic body in the city. It was organized without proper planning and training to the staff and volunteers. No information was furnished at the centers which were managed by outside agencies that were not properly trained in the mechanisms. Even those who had obtained UIDAI-enabled cards were asked to enroll afresh. Many of the Aadhaar cards printed had factual errors and many were without correct address and were lying in post offices. A few post offices had to announce in the newspapers, calling upon the applicants to pick up the cards after showing identity proof. The citizens heaved a sigh of relief after the intervention of the Apex Court which ruled that Aadhaar card should not be made mandatory to avail benefits of government schemes. I wonder why again the Department is starting this exercise all over again. The best way to go is to hand over the project back to UIDAI which should implement the scheme like it had accomplished earlier successfully. – V.S. Jayaraman, 31, Motilal Street, T. Nagar Coconut tree on Natesan Road junction poses danger Sir, The trunk of a tall coconut tree at the junction of Dr. Natesan Road and J.S. Kannappar Street (Ashok Nagar) is leaning towards the road. Coconuts from it often fall on the road, posing a danger to road users. I had a narrow escape recently when a coconut fell just a few inches away from me while I was passing by. I request the concerned authorities to visit the spot and, if possible, cut down the tree. – K. Alavandar, Ashok Nagar Portion of walkers’ path in Corporation park caves in Sir, The entire width of a 10 foot-stretch of the walkers’ path in the Corporation Park adjoining Vidyodaya School, T. Nagar caved in a couple of weeks ago. It is yet to be repaired. Regular walkers are unable to use the path. I hope the concerned authorities take immediate action to restore the path. – S.

School organises Halloween party for its students By Our Staff Reporter Resident erects temporary shelter for stray dog and its pups By Our Staff Reporter A resident constructed a temporary shelter for a pregnant stray dog which later gave birth to seven puppies on the pavement near his house on Bazullah Road (T. Nagar). He said that two of the puppies died within 24 hours. He said that a few days before the delivery, the dog started wailing and looking for shelter as it was raining incessantly. Taking pity, he erected a small temporary shelter on the pavement with a plastic sheet as roof to give it protection from the rains. “I also placed some bricks covering the shelter so that the puppies don’t wander out,” he added. By Our Staff Reporter There is epidemic of conjunctivitis in Chennai since the recent rains. It is commonly known as ‘Madras Eye’. Also called as pink eye, it is an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids). It is commonly due to an infection (usually viral, but sometimes bacterial) or an allergic reaction. An onset of sore throat and/ or common cold along with redness in the eye is an indication of conjunctivitis. In its advanced state, symptoms include excessive watering and itching. Typically, symptoms develop first in one eye, but may spread to the other eye within 2-5 days. Bacterial conjunctivitis also produces a yellowish discharge that may cause the lids to stick together, especially after sleep. Often conjunctivitis is misread by patients as irritation caused by a foreign body in the eye. Prevention and treatment: 1. Hygiene: The best effective prevention is hygiene and not rubbing the eyes by infected hands. It spreads only when objects touched by the infected person such as towels, soap, door knobs, keys, remote controls, laptops, keyboards etc., are used by others. Infected persons should not touch their eye and preferably wear goggles to prevent the itch to touch/rub the eyes and also to reduce glare. It is a myth that Madras Eye spreads if an infected person looks at another person! 2. Quarantine: In addition, patients should stay away from crowds and work to minimize spread of the infection. It is better not to send affected children to the schools. 3.) Eye check-up: Patients should not self-medicate and see an eye doctor immediately as certain cases lead to corneal involvement and some other serious vision threatening causes. 4.) Healthy foods: Eating brightly coloured fruits and vegetables helps to build im- munity and prevents infection.
