Winning was never easy. It takes passion, enthusiasm, hope, perseverance and consistency, in order. This blog is neither out of my experience nor out of an encounter with a winner. Observation has made me say those words. Scrutinize the lives and times of a few great souls whose triumph has flabbergasted the world over. You will find that there were barely any who were born with the silver spoon in their mouths. But do not strike their names out, because, money and luxuries do catch fire and all that burns to black. Money can die out while you are alive. Money can never impact upon one's chances of success in life. Passion can. It dies with you. Yes.

Melting clock: Live life beyond time It just takes few seconds to get to the finishing line; few minutes to call it a day at work and recline; Few hours to meet that special someone; few days to get your salary for the long weekend's fun; Few months to get your valuable educational degree; Few years for the prisoner to be set free.

Alexander Langmuir, expert in public health surveillance and intelligence Alexander Langmuir, the man behind epidemiologic intelligence, gave a crystal clear definition of surveillance as it applies to public health. He defined it as the continued watchfulness, systematic collection, consolidation and interpretation of public health data, and dissemination of this information to people who are in a position to take action. Surveillance is not static, but dynamic. Surveillance system must be flexible. It should adapt itself to the changing epidemiology of the problem under surveillance. There was an era when measles in India was under event-based surveillance. But it is now realized that in order to achieve elimination of measles, we should move on to case-based surveillance where every case of measles has to be investigated and control measures promptly instituted. Though not in the literal sense, surveillance can afford to be less rigorous when the disease has a ...
