Today I have heard the news that my favorite fast bowler Shri Sant is found infected with H1V1 Swine Flu virus. I am so sad. How he gets infected? He should be careful about his diet and environment. Anyhow, my best wishes are with him. I read that he is being treated in Moohali and conditions are satisfactory so far.

Swine flu is a very dangerous type of flu that spreads by one person to another by the coughing, sneezing, touching or kissing of infected person. It also spreads by touching the nose and mouth with dirty hands because its germs can be found in dusty air. First time swine flu was discovered in pigs in 1918. It was very similar to the human influenza but with the passage of time it became more and more painful and dangerous disease. In 1930, a virus discovered by scientists was considered the causes of swine flu. Then it was also found in different type of birds. But later on, it became a killing disease for human beings.

1997 to 2000, some other virus has been discovered that are known as swine and avian. These viruses are very dangerous and considered as the main cause of this diseases in North America. In 1998 the virus of swine flu also was found in pigs in some areas of United States. According to scientists, cause of this virus was human and bird flu.

I hope he will be recovered soon and all will be well with him and other Indian cricketers.

I heard a lot about December 21st, 2012 and frankly to say I am scared. But do you really believe it is End of World? Is that so well-known and well-before intimation from almighty God that he is going to end this world on said date?

Accordingly to people, Mayan Calendar ends on this date. It contains so many forecasts and those were proven correct in the past like World War I & II. But my simple question is, if a calendar is created, it will definitely have an end date. They might plan it SO FAR AHEAD of them as to be considered as infinity. But why people are thinking like its really the Dead End ahead?

I personally believe it is not true. It is just based upon our own fear. We know this world has to end one day. So we are afraid as it might be Dec 21, 2012. Even if it is so, why would we care? It might be tomorrow. Why to fear about something that is definitely going to happen one day. Its logical but can’t convince my mind (at least) to think on these lines.

Anyhow, the good thing is that I saw Movie 2012 as well and it scared me more than anything else. I warn you….. Stay Away and Don’t Watch it. If you wana watch it, be ready to be scared
