Why do you get anxiety and restlessness?

 The primary function of the brain is to think. The brains thinks of options to solve problems. If there is something bothering you and your mind is not at peace, the brain cannot function properly. That will leave you with unsolved problems at the end of the day which will make you feel restless.

Lack of nutrition to the body is the main reason for lower functioning of the brain. If you are on some calorie restrict diet, the body will compromise the nutrition and energy supply to the brain. Because they body cannot compromise on breathing or heart beat or digestion. As the energy input to the body is depleted, if the ability of your brain to think options is hampered, be prepared to go to bed with unsolved problems.

The other major reason is lack of sleep. By the time the Indian family winds up food and gets ready to sleep, it is already 11 pm. That is when the first wave of deep sleep hits the body. The next wave is only at 1 am. Which means that if you are going to bed at 11 pm and waking up at 6 am you are technically getting only 5 hours of sleep. People force their body to get sleep deprived. Insufficient sleep means inadequate rest to the brain. Another important reason for the brain to not function optimally.

Writing a diary before you sleep is a good way to get the brain to think about the problems you had in the daytime and assure yourself that tomorrow you will be a wiser person and not repeat the same mistakes. 

Dropping a Good Night message to your beloved is also strongly recommended.

What is a Vestibuled Train?

 When coaches of a passenger train are joined together with a passage, it is called a Vestibuled Train. Coaches are also called passenger cars.  Why do we need Vestibuled Train? In the days of the steam engine, two compartments were connected with heavy metal plates overlapping each other with guard rails to hold for support. This area was exposed to the elements, dust, ash and soot from the smoke coming out of the engine. Not a pleasant way to cross between two passenger cars.  Before the age of vestibuled trains, passengers were confined to a seat in one car. There used to be meal stop where passengers could grab a bite. Travels were short and over the day only. Even if there was night travel, passengers had to sleep on the seats.  The invention of a vestibule changed the face of train travel. It was introduced for the first time on 15th June 1887 in USA. It was not an easy invention because of design challenges. But once it came on the scene suddenly everything el...

The meaning of the word "bereft"

 "Bereft" is used to convey a feeling of loss. It can also be used to mean being deprived of something. Though it can be used to describe a number of situations, it is mostly used in case of loss of someone close to us or someone close who has to go far away like on a journey.  The word Bereft was first used in 1525 in Old English language. In the form of a literature work, it was first used by Thomas Elyot in 1531. Later many authors used this word like Shakespeare in "The Merchant of Venice" where it is used as "Madam, you have bereft me of all words". Which means that this word has now been described as a loss but not of a loved one. Even the concept of robbing could be described by this word.  The Hindi translation of this word is interesting. It is associated with the sense of loss and that too romantically. Here are a couple of words,  पागल and  दीवाना. This translation is using Google Translate and AI so it definitely not spot on.

Why is the Necrotizing Fasciitis or the flesh eating bacteria called the super bug?

 A bacterial infection is effectively treated with antibiotics which are also called the miracle medicines. However the power of antibiotics also mean that if used indiscriminately, the effectiveness against bacteria will reduce.  Let's just say it is natures way to fightback by making bacteria drug resistant. One such case is that of the infamous flesh eating bacteria. The word "Necrotising fasciitis" was first used by Wilson in 1952 but the first medical record is as old as 4th Century BC by Hippocrates who first described it. In recent years it became more and more known as Hospital Gangrene. It is caused by bacteria in conditions such as crowded places like prison, un-hygenic places like overcrowded slums and places where bacteria can resist drugs like a hospital which is treating large number of patients.  The problem with this type of bacterial infection is that it can lead to death in a matter of days.  In case of the flesh eating bacteria majority of the time...
