Body is a small town

 *What is Lipid Profile?*

A famous doctor explained Lipid Profile very beautifully and shared a beautiful story that explains it in a unique way.

Imagine our body is a small town. The biggest troublemaker in this town is - *Cholesterol*.

He also has some companions. His main partner in crime is - *Triglyceride*

Their job is to roam the streets, create chaos and block the roads.

The *Heart* is the city center of this town. All roads lead to the heart.

When these troublemakers start increasing, you can imagine what happens. They try to block the work of the heart.

But our body-town also has a police force deployed - *HDL*

The good cop catches these troublemakers and puts them in jail *(Liver)*.

Then the liver removes them from the body - through our drainage system.

But there is a bad cop who craves power - *LDL*.

LDL takes these criminals out of prison and puts them back on the streets.

If the good cop *HDL* goes down, the whole city will be in chaos.

Who would want to live in such a city?

Do you want to reduce these criminals and increase the number of good cops?

Start *walking*!

With every step, *HDL* will increase, and criminals like *cholesterol, triglycerides* and *LDL* will decrease.

Your body (city) will come back to life.

Your heart - the city center - will be protected from *(heart block)* by criminals.

When your heart is healthy, you will be healthy too.

So whenever you get the chance - start walking!

*Be healthy...* and *Wish you good health*

*This article tells you the best way to increase HDL (good cholesterol) and reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) namely walking.*

Every step increases HDL. So - *Come on, move forward and keep moving.*

Prepaid death ???

In Bengaluru's Byatarayanapura lived 70-year-old Narayanappa. Retired bus conductor. Wife Lakshmi died 5 years ago. Two children — son Ramesh, a software engineer in America, daughter Suma, a nurse in Dubai.

Narayanappa was alone. Monthly income 18 thousand — pension and other sources. Out of that, 8 thousand was house rent. In the remaining 10 thousand — medicines, food, electricity bill.

Every Sunday he video-called the kids. When he asked "How are you, Appa?" both had the same answer: "Busy, Dad. Will talk later."

Narayanappa had a kidney problem for 2 years. Dialysis twice a week. 2 thousand per session. Monthly expense 16 thousand. Pension only 18 thousand.

Doctor said: "Narayanappa, if we do a transplant you'll survive. Cost 10 lakhs."

Narayanappa laughed: "Doctor, is my life worth 10 lakhs? My son earns 5 lakhs a month. But he doesn’t have 5 minutes to call me. Where will he give 10 lakhs?"

Narayanappa took a decision. He stopped dialysis. Didn’t tell the kids. "Why give them tension?" he thought.

Instead, he bought a diary. Named it "Prepaid Death".

On the first page he wrote:  

"I'm paying in advance for my own death. Like Jio, Airtel, my life also needs recharge. But no one will do it. So I'm doing it myself."

Every day he started "prepaying" something.

Day 1: Took his photo, framed it, brought a garland and kept it. Wrote below — "Paid".  

Day 2: Went to the crematorium, saw a spot for himself. Gave 500 advance to the boy. "Paid".  

Day 3: Ordered firewood for cremation. ₹3000 "Paid".  

Day 4: Put aside dakshina for the Brahmins for the 13th day ritual. "Paid".  

Day 5: Wrote a final letter to the kids. Didn't post it. Kept it in the trunk. "Paid".

20 days passed. Narayanappa's condition became critical. Neighbor Papanna admitted him to the hospital.

The doctor called Ramesh: "Your father is in last stage. Kidney failure. 48 hours only. Come soon."

Ramesh: "Doctor, I'm in a project delivery. Need 3 weeks. Do a video call. I'll speak to him."

The doctor was shocked. Called Suma. She said the same: "Doctor, flight ticket is 1 lakh. Can't do it now. I'll send money. Give him good treatment."

The doctor came to Narayanappa and said: "Ayya, I’ve informed your children."

Narayanappa smiled slowly. Gestured to the nurse to get his diary. Opened the last page.

It read:  

"Dialysis - Stopped. Paid.  

Children's expectation - . Paid.  

Life - Stopping tomorrow. Already Paid."

One more line below:  

"I recharged my own death. There’s no one to give me a missed call. So I used up the full talk time."

Narayanappa died that same night. Diary in hand, peace on his face.

Papanna called Ramesh: "Sir, your father is gone."

"Oh... Okay. Keep the body in the mortuary. I'll come after 3 weeks and do the procedure. If there’s a cremation package, book it. I'll transfer money."

Papanna got angry. Cut the call, gathered the villagers. Everyone together did Narayanappa's last rites.

The firewood? Narayanappa had already "Paid".  

The spot? Narayanappa had already "Paid".  

Brahmin's dakshina? Narayanappa had already "Paid".

Not a single rupee was spent by anyone. "Prepaid Death" — came true.

The 13th day ritual was also done by the villagers. They used the cover Narayanappa had "Paid" for.

After 3 weeks Ramesh and Suma came. House was locked. Papanna gave the key.

Inside, on the table, 2 covers. One "To Ramesh", another "To Suma". Along with the "Prepaid Death" diary.

Ramesh opened his cover. Inside 500 rupees and a note:

"Son Ramesh,  

Your flight ticket from America is 1 lakh. Don't waste that much money to see my corpse, so I've kept 500. This is your bus charge. Come stand at my grave for 2 minutes and go. I've 'Paid' for your time.  

Yours, your Prepaid Appa."

Suma opened her cover. In that also 500 rupees and a note:

"Daughter Suma,  

You are a nurse. You serve hundreds daily. But you couldn't come for your father's dialysis. It's okay. Take this 500. Put a garland at my grave. Even if you come after duty, it’s fine. I won't wait. Already 'Paid' and gone.  

Yours, your Prepaid Appa."  

     Narayanappa

Both read the diary. On the last page in red letters:

"Children, I recharged my own death. Know why?  

For your love, 'incoming call free' was there. But you didn’t even give a 'missed call'.  

So I went 'outgoing' myself. Balance Zero. Validity expired. Number Not Reachable - Forever."

Ramesh and Suma fell and cried before the grave. Villagers saw and said: "What’s the use of crying now? If you had given 5 minutes when he was alive, there’d be no need to write this 500 rupee note."

Ramesh now runs an NGO in Bengaluru called "Prepaid Pitru Care". Free health check-ups and free meals for lonely elderly.

On the NGO’s board it says:  

"Recharge your parents' lives. If you miss the call, lifetime validity is lost.  

After that, no matter how much you top-up, there’ll be no network."

*Moral:* Parents are like prepaid SIMs. If you don’t recharge, one day they’ll become "Not Reachable". Then there’s no tower in the crematorium.

"Busy" is not a reason. Give your parents a "missed call" today... They are at an age where they will "call back".  

No matter how big your position, how much you earn, caring for parents lovingly in their old age and giving them peace is the duty of every child..(,thanks to the unknown author

 *எல்பிஜி நுகர்வோர் அனைவரும் இந்தப் பதிவைக் கவனிக்கவும் - குறிப்பாக மகளிர் குழுவினர்:*

(இந்தப் பதிவு ஒரு பெண்ணின் சொந்த அனுபவத்தை அடிப்படையாகக் கொண்டது...)

கடந்த ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமை எனக்கு ஒரு பயனுள்ள தகவல் கிடைத்தது. நான் எனது எரிவாயு சிலிண்டரை மாற்ற வேண்டியிருந்தது, நான் காலி சிலிண்டரை அகற்றிவிட்டு, புதிய நிரப்பப்பட்ட சிலிண்டரைப் பொருத்தினேன்.

நான் குழாயைத் திறந்தவுடன், எரிவாயு கசிவின் வாசனையை உணர்ந்தேன். பாதுகாப்பு காரணங்களுக்காக நான் குழாயை அணைத்துவிட்டேன். நான் உடனடியாக எனது எரிவாயு முகமைக்குத் தகவல் தெரிவித்து உதவி கேட்டேன். அவர், "இன்று ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமை என்பதால் முகமை மூடப்பட்டுள்ளது, எங்கள் ஆள் நாளைதான் உங்கள் பிரச்சனையைத் தீர்க்க முடியும், மன்னிக்கவும்" என்று பதிலளித்தார்.

நான் விரக்தியில் அமர்ந்திருந்தேன், திடீரென்று கூகிளில் தேட வேண்டும் என்று தோன்றியது, ஒருவேளை ஏதேனும் அவசர எண் கிடைக்கலாம்.

கூகிள் *1906* என்ற எண்ணைக் காட்டியது - இது எரிவாயு கசிவு ஏற்பட்டால் பயன்படுத்த வேண்டிய எண்.

நான் அந்த எண்ணை அழைத்தபோது, ​​ட்ரூ காலரில் *எரிவாயு கசிவு அவசரநிலை* (Gas Leakage Emergency) என்று தோன்றியது. ஒரு பெண்மணி தொலைபேசியை எடுத்தார், நான் அவரிடம் என் பிரச்சனையைச் சொன்னேன், அவர், "சேவை ஊழியர் 1 மணி நேரத்திற்குள் உங்கள் முகவரிக்கு வந்துவிடுவார்" என்று பதிலளித்தார். எரிவாயுக் குழாயில் கசிவு இருந்தால், புதிய குழாய்க்கான கட்டணத்தை நீங்கள் செலுத்த வேண்டும், இல்லையெனில் நீங்கள் எதுவும் செலுத்த வேண்டியதில்லை.

அரை மணி நேரத்திற்குள் ஒரு சிறுவன் கதவைத் தட்டியபோது நான் ஆச்சரியப்பட்டேன். *அந்தச் சிறுவன் சோதித்து, ஒரு நிமிடத்திற்குள் சிலிண்டருக்குள் இருந்த வாஷரை மாற்றி, எரிவாயுவை இயக்கினான்.* நான் அவனுக்குப் பணம் கொடுக்க முயன்றபோது, ​​அவன் அதை வாங்கப் பணிவுடன் மறுத்துவிட்டான். *இந்த வசதியை மத்திய அரசு தனக்கு இலவசமாக வழங்கியுள்ளது என்று அவன் கூறினான்.*

அரை மணி நேரத்திற்குள், அழைப்பைப் பெற்ற பெண்மணி அழைத்து, எனது பிரச்சினை தீர்க்கப்பட்டதா இல்லையா என்று கேட்டார்.

நான் மீண்டும் கூகிளில் விவரங்களைச் சரிபார்த்தபோது, ​​இந்த வசதி *services.india.gov.in* என்ற இணையதளத்தில் 24×7 கிடைக்கிறது என்பதைக் கண்டேன். இது அனைத்து எரிவாயு நிறுவனங்கள்/புகார்கள் தொடர்பானதாகும்.

*இந்தச் செய்தியை உங்கள் அறிமுகமானவர்கள் மற்றும் குழுக்கள் அனைவருடனும் பகிர்ந்து கொள்ளுமாறு உங்கள் அனைவரையும் கேட்டுக்கொள்கிறேன், இதன் மூலம் இது அவசர நேரத்தில் அனைவருக்கும் பயனுள்ளதாக இருக்கும்.*
