Causes of Stress and its effects on us

Tension or stress is the part of our daily life. At breakfast, on hearing that today is the last date for depositing the examination fee of the younger daughter, we become tense. On the road when traffic is jammed, we have no other option to express our anxiety but to dash our hands on the steering wheel. This mental stress or tension causes many diseases in our body. Sometimes people suffer from severe heart failure and meet with their ultimate death.

Human body reacts against the stimulus of stress by excreting some hormones in blood. Para-Sympathetic and Sympathetic nervous system are very significant in this regard. In normal states and conditions, our Para-Sympathetic nervous system controls our inner organs and their functions. However, in emergency our sympathetic nervous system comes forward and makes us prepare to meet the situation by releasing Adrenaline hormone in our blood. This hormone tries to save the body but afterwards the same excretion becomes a big hurdle in the way of body to perform its functions.

Some interesting facts behind terminology

The scientific terminology that we study today has some interesting background. The scientific words that we come across in books of science have their strange and meaningful origins. The elements are mostly named after the name of their country or deceased scientists.

Madam Curie discovered the element 84. She was called Marie Sklodowska before her marriage. She belonged to Poland that is why the element she discovered was named on her native land as ‘Polonium’. In 1886, a German scientist discovered element 32. He gave it the name on his country as Germanium, which was the clear sign of his love and patriotism for his country. The element Americium was named after America because the group of scientists who discovered it belonged to US. Similar was the case with Francium 87, which was discovered by a French scientist in 1939.

Kangaroo is the name of the most famous Australian animal among the mammals. Its name holds an interesting story behind it. In 1770, an English researcher James Cook reached Australia in his ship. He saw a strange animal there with a bag near its breast. When he asked the name of that wonderful animal the natives say ’Kangaroo’ which was meant for ‘what are you saying’? The visitors took it as the name of this animal. Thus, the misunderstanding gave a new name to animal that spread all over the world.

How we teach science subjects in schools

The magic spell of science has crept in our lives so silently that we sometimes take it granted.  Our sense of astonishment has grown weaker day by day. Miracles are opening their eyes but man does not pay attention to them, as it should be. Every occupation, from peace to war, bows before the goddess of science.  In this age, the battlefields will be deserted and schools and universities will be flourished. Nations will compete each other in economics, science and technology, in learning and knowledge, in modern facilities and standards of life.

It is a pity that in 21^st century, we are still mourning over the plight of our educational institutions. Our way of teaching science subjects at school level is not up date. Our examination system has yet to be credible. Our experiments at school education have no limitations. How will we meet the future challenges and how will we live while keeping up our chins in the international communities. No doubt, we are poor nation unable to facilitate properly our institutions; but we are not poor in commitment and dedication. We have an ability to translate our dreams into vivid realities.

Love changes everything..

Love is a celestial and universal passion having extreme vigor although apparently seems frail and delicate. It is not special for humans but brutes also recognize and respond to it.  Perhaps the sole purpose of creation is draped in the philosophy of love. All the prophets, saints and the pioneers of the worldly religions emphasized and preached love but going a step ahead essence of all the divine worship revolves round it. How one can bow before the Lord and pay gratitude to Him if he is missing the passion. It breeds in hearts and revolutionizes the minds, unites the human race and can change everything coming its way.

Lemony Sincket says ‘Love can change a person the way a parent can change a baby’. Imagine when two souls kindle with its light what changes we earthly people observe in them. The sincerity and sacrifice naturally become the part of the personalities. The apparent look, the way of conversation, the dress, the hairstyle and what does not change. If it is not exaggeration, the man transforms into a new personality who can do everything for his beloved even if it is beyond the limits of man. The man who pampers the love of this world and worldly possessions gathers every luxury for himself. It does not matter if he uses the legitimate ways for the fulfillment of his desires or chooses unfair means. When one gets acquainted with the love of his creator, his soul and heart illuminate with the divine light. All the worldly desires surrender before the love of Lord. Man seeks only the will of God and all other things become less important in his eyes. He becomes conscious in every act lest he earns the anger and goes astray.
