AUTISM.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) cannot be completely curedbecause it's a lifelong neurodevelopmental difference, not a disease, but with early intervention, therapies (like speech, behavioral, occupational), and ongoing support, individuals with autism can develop crucial life skills, thrive, and lead fulfilling lives by managing challenges and maximizing strengths. 

While some children may no longer meet diagnostic criteria as they grow (sometimes called "recovery"), it's more about significant development, and the focus is on personalized support rather than a cure. 

Key Points on Autism & "Cure" 

Not a Disease: Autism is a different way the brain develops and functions, a form of neurodivergence, not an illness to be fixed. 

Spectrum Condition: It affects people differently, so support is tailored to individual needs. 

Goal is Support: The aim of treatments is to build skills (social, communication, daily living), manage difficulties, and improve quality of life, not eliminate autism. 

Effective Approaches (Not Cures) 

Early Intervention: Starting therapies during the preschool years is highly beneficial. 

Therapies: Speech-language therapy, occupational therapy,and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) help with communication, social interaction, and daily living skills. 

Medication: No medications treat autism itself, but some can help with related symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, or irritability, often alongside therapy. 

Support Systems: Education, family involvement, and accommodations help individuals reach their potential. 

What About "Recovery"? 

Studies show some children (estimates vary, 3-25%) no longer meet ASD criteria as they grow, developing typical skills, especially with early, intensive behavioral treatments. 

However, they might still have residual vulnerabilities like attention issues or co-occurring conditions (e.g., tics, anxiety). 

The overall message is that while a "cure" isn't the goal, significant positive development and a fulfilling life are achievable with the right support.

Sachin Tendulkar vs Vinod Kambli.

While Vinod Kambli had exceptional raw talent and a phenomenal start to his career, Sachin Tendulkar is widely considered the better overall player due to his longevity, consistency, discipline, and record-breaking achievements over a career spanning nearly 24 years. 

Vinod Kambli: 

The Talented Starter

Kambli's early career was spectacular, marked by immediate success that led many contemporary experts, including coach Ramakant Achrekar, to believe he was initially the more talented of the two childhood friends. 

• Exceptional Start: He was the fastest Indian to reach 1,000 Test runs, achieving the milestone in just 14 innings.
• Big Scores Early: He is the only player to score two consecutive Test double centuries in his first four Tests, and his career Test batting average of 54.20 remains the highest for an Indian batsman with more than 20 Test innings.
• Natural Ability: He was a flamboyant left-handed batsman with an aggressive style and a wide array of shots. 

Sachin Tendulkar: 

The Long-Distance Champion

Tendulkar had a relatively slower start to his international career compared to Kambli's initial burst but developed into one of the greatest cricketers of all time. 

• Longevity and Consistency:Tendulkar played for India for nearly a quarter of a century (24 years), maintaining elite performance and adapting his game across different conditions and eras.
• Unmatched Records: He holds the record for most runs in both Test and ODI cricket and is the only player to have scored 100 international centuries.
• Discipline and Work Ethic: The key difference noted by legends like Kapil Dev and Rahul Dravid was Tendulkar's unwavering discipline, focus, and dedication to constantly improve his game and overcome weaknesses, such as his initial vulnerability to short-pitched bowling, a flaw Kambli struggled to rectify. 

Conclusion

Kambli's career faded early due to a combination of technical struggles (specifically against the short ball), off-field distractions, and a lack of consistent discipline, playing his last Test at just 23. Tendulkar, by contrast, married his immense talent with an exemplary work ethic and mental toughness, allowing him to sustained excellence for over two decades and achieve legendary status in the world of cricket.

TO SOLVE A PERINEAL PROBLEM ?

Every day there is news about molesting or raping of a woman. Our country has lost its glory of sacred culture. We have to find a solution to it. 

Feminists may find some of my views are conservative. Personal enmity, robing of the jewels, lust are some of the reasons that can be attributed.

Personal enmity can be settled by reporting to the police and arriving at an amicable solution. 

Regarding jewels, to avoid chain snatching they can walk on the right side of the road. They can cover the jewels with their dress or keep it in a bank locker. 

The most predominant factor is lust. Not all men but only a few are lustful. It is a desire for physical gratification. No education can cure this. 

In a country where womenfolk are worshiped, to see this happening is a shame. Everyone should feel as if it is his own loss.

They should condemn and go to the help of the victim to protect them. They should not be silent spectators. They should call the police. 

Every man should take a wow that he will not get attracted to any woman and he will consider them as his mother and sister. The women should have more powers for self-defense. 

Special courts can be formed to deal with the cases. The punishment for rape and molestation should be very severe. The courts should decide the cases within a short period. In our country, sex is considered holy and sacred.

The women should also understand. There is chaos, greed, poverty, anarchy, lawlessness, violence, hatred, perversion, communal intolerance, corruption, religious fanaticism, unemployment, lack of education, instigation by cinema, etc. The damage once done cannot be retrieved.

The women are physically weak. They are the ultimate sufferers physically, mentally and psychologically. They should protect themselves. 

They can get combative training. They can carry chilly or pepper powder to spray on the face. They can take a penknife or toy pistol to threaten the culprit.

They should not go out alone. During the night, they should take a male escort.  They can desist from developing friendship or acquaintance with unknown people. They can inform their parents/elder brother/husband of any untoward incident. Freedom brings only misery.

They can wear a modern protective dress like jeans etc. Women should not wear exhibiting or enticing or inviting dresses. They can go for safe and honorable jobs like teaching, or 9 to 5 daytime work, etc. If a Saree falls on a bush of thorn, it is the Saree that gets damaged and not the thorn.

According to Wikipedia, "there is a misconception that it happens only among the "illiterate and poor" which is not true. It occurs among the "educated and rich", including those who have been abroad for higher education or have significant exposure to other countries. 

WALKING EXCERCISE.

Mixing fast and slow walking is very healthy and effective for improving cardiovascular health, increasing endurance, and boosting fat loss. This interval walking technique, inspired by HIIT, is a time-efficient way to burn more calories and calories for hours after the workout has ended. It engages more muscles and can lead to a higher level of fitness compared to a steady-paced walk. 

Benefits of interval walking

• Improved heart health:Alternating between fast and slow walking strengthens the heart, improves circulation, and can lower the risk of heart disease.
• Increased calorie and fat burn:The fast intervals boost your metabolism, and the slow phases allow for recovery while keeping your metabolism elevated, leading to a greater total calorie burn and the "afterburn effect" (EPOC).
• Enhanced endurance and stamina: Regularly alternating speeds trains your body to recover more quickly, improving both your stamina and overall endurance over time.
• Better blood sugar control:Studies show this method can help improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, which may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes.
• Increased muscle strength: The varying intensity engages more muscles in your legs, hips, and core, helping to build strength.
• Time-efficient: You can achieve greater benefits in a shorter amount of time compared to walking at a consistent pace. 

How to get started

• Start slow: If you are new to exercise, begin with fewer intervals and gradually increase the duration and intensity as you get fitter.
• Try a pattern: A simple way to start is to walk fast for 3 minutes, then slow down for 2 minutes, and repeat for about 30 minutes.
• Listen to your body: Push yourself during the fast intervals, but ensure the slow intervals provide enough recovery. The goal is to alternate between higher and lower heart rates within a single workout period.
• Consult a doctor: If you have any health concerns, talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.
