If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would you like to change?

I wouldn’t change a thing, because all the choices I made in the past, made me the person I am today. I am still a work in progress and have much to learn and grow. Who doesn’t? Therefore I’m no better than any of you. It’s when you fall is when you learn!

You mess up sometimes and that’s ok! you can learn from that mistake. You may hurt people unintentionally or intentionally and you let yourself get hurt too in the process, just so you know how it feels when you fall, and avoid it happening again. You wake up to mornings that succeeded a night you would rather forget. You wake up to mornings that succeeded a night you wish you could remember. You say words you wish you could take back after you start regretting. You wish you had said words you’ll never get the chance to say again.

Being here, in the present, you don’t want to stop believing in yourself.
You think it was worth it, right? Hey, it probably was. It’s OKAY if things don’t go as planned! It’s OKAY to cry and move on!

But is being young and stupid a good enough excuse?

So now, I would like to share an experience of my own, It was during the 12th when I and my best friend decided to go to the same college, away from home, so we became hostelites. But it was during that time, we had a minor argument and misunderstanding, so we both stopped speaking to each other. I had a really bad mental breakdown, It was during that time my dad spoke, saying I was always too dependent on your friends, and I need to let things go and live on! After all, everything happens for a good reason! but people change, when time changes and they grow. But if even after all of those misunderstandings, the person still manages to come back into your life, then he was meant to stay. Now, I and my friend laugh, thinking back as it was such an inane situation.

It was after that time, I realized I needed to be more self-dependent. I also realized communication is the key to solve most of the misunderstandings.

I have met different kinds of people who taught me lessons that changed my perspective.

Here’s a small part from,

“The Little Boy and the Old Man” by Shel Silverstein

Said the little boy, “Sometimes I drop my spoon.” Said the old man, “I do that too.” The little boy whispered, “I wet my pants.” “I do that too,” laughed the old man. Said the little boy, “I often cry.” The old man nodded, “So do I.“

We probably behave stupidly because we don’t think, period! And maybe those who turn out to be wise were always full of the wisdom that we weren’t. Sounds philosophical, it’s not.

I’m a big believer in learning from mistakes. I do reflect on my past experiences that carved me into the person I am today.

So the article is about entering of India into 75 th year of independence this year. As we know the independent word was not associated with India ealier as the Britishers ruled for almost 200 years in India.We were not recognized as a nation in the world. There was no existence of India as an independent country. But after so much of struggle, sacrifices, partition and much more we got independent on the midnight of 15 August 1947. The day which was written in history in golden words. Our first Prime Minister Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru hoisted the national flag from the ramparts of the Red Fort in Delhi. This was the dawn of a new India towards progress and prosperity. The Independence Day fills every Indian with immense joy and happiness. It is known as the national festival of India. All the offices and every institution across the country celebrates the flag hoisting ceremony. This year the Prime Minister mentioned it as “Amrit Mahotsav”. The people were excited about it and everyone send their videos of singing the national anthem and that too they were played during the ceremony today. We can see a mixture of our traditions and modern resources because of the pandemic situation people could not see the ceremony by being there present as it happened earlier but by this we were a part of the ceremony.

The tricolour flag hoisted from the Red Fort makes us a more proud to be an Indian. India achieved millions of milestones in these 75 years. From earth to space , from being dependent on the world to “Skill India”. India is being known as “vishwaguru” to the world. In the pandemic situation our yoga practices and natural immunity booster were proved a boon to the world. The largest vaccination drive is an example that with proper management and resources we could perform and achieve our objectives in time to benefit people. In every field India is making achievement whether it be medical science or sports or international conferences. India is also focussing on being self dependent on every sector as this the need of the hour. We are a youth country and we have major population as youth. The government is focusing on providing multiple options for the youth. The world is looking towards India as its role model.

Hope you will like the article thank you

Happy Independence Day 🇮🇳

ANTIGENS:

These are the foreign bodies that have the capability to bind with the immunogen and also induce an immune response from our body.
The majority of antigens are made up of protein. But some can also be made of carbohydrates, lipids, or nucleic acid.

ANTIBODIES/ IMMUNOGLOBULINS:

An antibody is a protein molecule that is generated in the living being by the plasma membrane of the cell. The majority of antibodies are produced in the blood, hence the name immunoglobulins.

Each antibody consists of four polypeptides– two heavy chains and two light chains joined to form a “Y” shaped molecule.
The amino acid sequence in the tips of the “Y” varies greatly among different antibodies. This variable region, composed of 110-130 amino acids, gives the antibody its specificity for binding antigen.

Antibodies are divided into five major classes, IgM, IgG, Iga, IgD, and IgE, based on their constant region structure and immune functions.

IgG antibody function :

IgG provides long-term protection because it persists for months and years after the presence of the antigen that has triggered their production. IgG protects against bacteria, viruses, neutralizes bacterial toxins, triggers complement protein systems, and binds antigens to enhance the effectiveness of phagocytosis.

IgM antibody function :

IgM is involved in the ABO blood group antigens on the surface of RBCs. IgM enhances ingestions of cells by phagocytosis.

IgA antibody function :

The main function of IgA is to bind antigens on microbes before they invade tissues. It aggregates the antigens and keeps them in the secretions so when the secretion is expelled, so is the antigen. IgA is also the first defense for mucosal surfaces such as the intestines, nose, and lungs.

IgE antibody function :

IgE bind to mast cells and basophils which participate in the immune response. Some scientists think that IgE’s purpose is to stop parasites.

IgD antibody function :

IgD plays a role in the induction of antibody production.

IMMUNE SYSTEM IN OUR BODY:

The main role of the immune system is to recognize the pathogen, respond to the foreign antigens, and memorize them.

LYMPHOID ORGANS:

These are further divided into two types:
1) Primary lymphoid organs: This comprises of bone marrow and thymus, where T-lymphocytes and the B-lymphocytes mature and acquire their antigen-specific receptors.
2) Secondary lymphoid organs: It comprises of lymph nodes, spleen, and Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT). After maturation of the T- lymphocyte and the B-lymphocyte, they migrate here via blood vascular and lymphatic system, where they undergo differentiation.

VACCINISATION OR IMMUNISATION:

A vaccine is generally a half-killed or weakened disease-causing pathogen that is then given to the healthy individual through injection or drops, which has the ability to generate an immune response but not cause any disease or doesn’t have the ability to spread in the body. This causes acquired immunity against the disease-causing pathogen. This is called as vaccination or immunization.
The concept of vaccination is based on the ‘memory’ of the immune system. Our immune system has the ability to recognize the pathogen if it has once been already spotted and antibodies have been created by our body.
So when the same pathogen enters our body, it is immediately spotted by the lymphocytes, and the antibodies are produced almost instantly given a quick response.

ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION:

It is the process of replacement of diseased tissue with healthier ones. Various factors are involved in transplanting an organ from a donor to a recipient such as tissue matching, immunosuppression, the immune response generated in the recipient. T-cells play a major role in the process of rejection.

CONCLUSION:

Antigens are the substance majority made of protein that has the capability to stimulate the production of antibodies. Antibodies are protein molecule that inactivates the antigen. They are also called immunoglobulins. Lymphoid organs are the place where the maturation of lymphocytes takes place. Vaccine is introduced into our body to prepare antibodies against certain pathogens. While organ transplant has its own pros and cons.

In the modern era, people frequently deny performing certain things that might be either good or bad. Sensible decisions should be carried out as to when a NO should be uttered. A small scope of denial can cause you to pay a hefty price. You assist others presuming that what if you turn them down. But that’s not the case. You love to help others because you love to. Lending a helping hand always can cost you a lot too. Think wisely as to where you want to invest your time. It’s not at all bad to think for yourself.

Never feel ashamed to adamantly deny. If that one word NO is being beneficial to you, then don’t hesitate to do so. It’s impossible to say YES to everything. Prioritize the decisions you make as to whom you have to tell a YES and to whom a NO. This world is filled with greedy people too who wholly want their work to be done. They remember you when they need a favor, else you are like a non-existing creature. People who genuinely care for you and need your help will ask for it, respect it and convey they will always be available for you. Never overlook such people in your life.

It is important to know some things related to denial-

1. Once a NO is not a NO forever :

• You deny once doesn’t announce you are denying forever.
• There might seem to be reasons for your denial. Maybe you are busy with your own work, or are not in a mood to help anyone. 

2. NO need not always be direct :

• Valid reasons can be voiced out for the reason of your denial.
• Some people think what if he/she feels bad.
• Telling a NO may surely not hurt until it is conveyed in a positive way.

3. Happy and Peaceful Environment :

• When you deny someone, you are reducing the effort and time you are investing there.
• You have a chance to relax you, not to withstand stress about it.

4. Constant Connection :

• As said, once a denial doesn’t always mean denial.
• Continue to establish a connection with that person after you deny.
• This attitude will surely make the person feel that you don’t have any problem in helping, but the situation makes you do so.
• It urges him/her to believe that you don’t have any hard feelings for him/her.

5. Devote time yourself :

• Some people go out of the way to help out others that they don’t give time to themselves.
• No one is stopping that person from helping others. But the fact to understand is giving importance to you and value you.

Denying for doing something wrong is not at all bad. You should maintain a strong stand and be firm, that the decision that you have taken against the wrong is absolutely correct. Whoever approaches you to change your mind shouldn’t be in a stage to overrule the accurate decisions you have made.

Situations arise where you are being betrayed. The person who did so will try his/her best to prove himself/herself innocent, you should voice out exclaiming a NO, it’s inappropriate. Never be afraid to tell a NO when you aren’t comfortable in doing so. You shouldn’t be forced to do the favor asked. You aren’t hindered at gunpoint to do the favor asked.

In present times, you definitely have a price to pay for everything. It’s left up to you to see where your profit lies. NO can be costly when you do something that you aren’t willing to. You help people when they need you, but are they available to you when you need them the most? Give it a thought.

On the Independence Day, Jawaharlal Nehru’s first speech began with, “At the stroke of midnight, when the world sleeps, India shall awake to life and freedom…”

Rabindranath Tagore composed ‘Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata’ which then later was renamed ‘Jana Gana Mana’ and was adopted as the national anthem by the Constituent Assembly of India.

Karnataka Khadi Gramodyoga Samyukta Sangha (KKGSS), located in Dharwad in Karnataka is the only authorised manufacturer of the Indian flag. It has the sole authority to manufacture and supply the Indian national flag.

Although the Indian Independence Act was approved on 18 July 1947, Lord Mountbatten, the last viceroy and the first Governor-General of India, chose 15 August as Indian Independence Day as it was the same day on which Japan surrendered to the Allied Forces.

Pakistan’s Independence Day should have been on the same day, but lord Mountbatten being the last viceroy of undivided British India had to be present at both ceremonies in Delhi and Karachi. Hence, Pakistan’s Independence Day was celebrated on 14 August.

The name India comes from the River Indus. 

India had no official National Anthem at the time of independence. Later on, Jana Gana Mana, originally written in 1911, was officially adopted as the Indian national anthem on 24 January 1950.

At the time of celebration of the country’s first Independnece, Mahatma Gandhi was not present. He was on a hunger strike that was conducted to stop the communal killings that were triggered due to partition.

There was no president or prime minister heading the country. Independent India lacked in having a structured government. At the time of Independence, The Governor-General was the only and the most authoritative person in India. Later, the political framework developed when India became a republic.

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, hoisted the national flag 17 times from the fortification of the Red Fort on Independence Day.

India shares its Independence Day with five more countries, Bahrain, North Korea, South Korea, Congo, and Liechtenstein on August 15, but with different years.
