Libraries...

Do we still need libraries in this digital age...?? Libraries everywhere are under threat. Who needs a library today, when it is possible to find and read almost any and every book or article that has ever been published by using internet. Libraries are a statutory service and it should be available to everyone....but why do we need it when everything is available on net. Yes, library exhibits positive impact on the academic but at a huge cost and maintenance. Libraries do allow people of any income level or background to access high-quality information and to borrow what they want. Whether we like it or not, library culture is almost dying due to easy availability of information on the net. Hence, new innovative services are being developed, taking advantage of IT advances to enhance people’s experiences of using their libraries in the library building through access to e-books and other online collections.

Coconut and worshiping

Breaking of the coconut represents the breaking of ego, which is a prerequisite for the attainment of wisdom. Breaking of the ego results in our mind becoming wiser... and the water within the coconut is the nectar of Knowledge. Hindu Pujas are the act of showing reverence to God, a spirit, or another aspect of the divine through invocations, prayers, songs/ bhajans and rituals. An essential part of puja is making a spiritual connection with the divine. Offering flowers is an important part of worship as different Gods & goddesses are known to love certain flowers. ... Some consider offering of flowers to be a prayer that the deity grant us good health, wealth & prosperity. It is natural tendency to keep the atmosphere of the place of worship welcoming with flowers.Hindu worship is primarily an individual act rather than a communal one, as it involves making personal offerings to the deity. Worshipers usually repeat the names of their favorite Gods and Goddesses, and repeat mantras. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi...Col Pendyala Pradeep, Anaesthesiologist.

Persona

Persona means the way you behave, talk, etc., with other people that causes them to see you as a particular kind of person. Personality is the public personality that people display to those around them and it is influenced by heredity and at the same time by the surrounding conditions. There is subtle difference between the two...persona and personality. The role that one assumes or displays in public or society; one's public image or personality, as distinguished from the inner self. Someone's personality is the specific set of qualities and interests that make him or her unique and unlike others. Your persona is your external layer and your personality is your inner layer. Bear in mind that persona is the Latin for an actor's mask...and your personality is your inner and real self...Col Pendyala Pradeep, Anaesthesiologist.
