May 31st,2008------World No Tobacco Day

Hmm..One of the serious concerns of today .The theme for World No Tobacco Day 2008 was "Free Youth:Break the Tobacco Marketing Net."Since the youth of this generation is effected most by smoking.As every brand either marlboro or wills used to right a TAG line on their cigarette packets that "cigarette smoking is injurious to health" and also everyone I belief is aware of this fact but smokers not able to live a single day without smoke.Each day the number of smokers increasing and these are mainly from the youth.

Few years back,only males used to smoke and now the data is vigoursly changing number of females smokers is rising to a great extent.The smokers number hike is also because of aggressive marketing,govenments dhould tackle this,even WHO also requested the countries to implement some enforcement rules.

Even I am a hostelite and being a student notice this,many of my friends used to smoke regularly and they all are aware if this fact that its injurious to health.But still they used to smoke daily.Their is a small village named Dighi where most of the studnets visit to buy thier cigarettes.

Also I feel that the damage to health due to cigarette smoking can be reducesed with proper diet
when you have proper meals this can be minimised to a great extent,but most of the smokers dont take their meals properly and thier health reduces significantally.

I also feel in India the student stay in hostel are used to smoke more than those who used to stay with their parents.

In the start of my hostel life I also used to smoke but then some how I manage to leave that.Now I used to collect these packets as I love them.And keep collecting...

China vs India: Sikkim border conflict between India and China in 1967

By Pradeep Kumar
Did you know India has offered 800 sheep and 59 yaks to China. Image Source: Google Images I am pretty sure its hard to believe, but its true, that India has offered 800 sheep and 59 yaks to China. 1962 war with China will remain in the memories of most of the Indians. Although China was not able to gain any strategic advantage after the war. Hence China keeps on waiting or rather creating these small issues to take advantage out of them. For this China opened another front in Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh, but they did not find any reason to start any conflict with India in these reasons. Then comes this missing flock of 800 sheep and 59 yaks besides the allegations of territorial incursions. This let to the build-up Sikkim border conflict between India and China in 1967. This is what China was looking for since 1962 war. Exchanges between the two governments dating back to 1965 reveal that China accused Indian troops of stealing the flock of animals from Tibetan herdsmen ...
