"Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions, which force certain parts of the body into abnormal, sometimes painful, movements or postures. Dystonia can affect any part of the body including the arms and legs, trunk, neck, eyelids, face, or vocal cords."Not many people know what Dystonia is and what are its affects on you. I was really down with tears after reading what has happened to Tyler. I love kids and always enjoy being with them and and to see something like this happen to a wonderful kid is really bad. What i feel is more than anything else what all of us should do now is to support Tyler and his family so that they can handle this situation well. They must know that they are not alone in this fight and all of us are there to help out.
I would advice all of you to visit Tyler's hope to know more about the organization and their motto. They are a non-profitable organization who are working to prevent Dystonia and are trying to find a cure for the disease. It would be nice if all of us could join hands for the noble cause of creating awareness of this disease and this organization.
I am going to spread this message to whom ever i can in the best way possible and i pray to god that the cure is found soon and the disease is eradicated.

This magnificent man is one who redefined contemporary Indian music and is the pride of the entire nation and an idol for millions all over the world needs no preamble.
A. R. Rahman was born to R. K. Shekhar, a composer, arranger and conductor for Malayalam-language films. His father died when Rahman was nine years old, and his family rented out musical equipment as a source of income.
During these early years, Rahman served as a keyboard player and an arranger in bands such as "Roots" and "Nemesis Avenue" with friends including Sivamani, embracing numerous music genres. He played the keyboard and piano, in addition to, among others, the synthesizer, the harmonium and the guitar. His curiosity in the synthesizer in particular increased because, he says, it was the “ideal combination of music and technology.” He began early training in music under Master Dhanraj. At the age of 11, he joined, as a keyboardist in the troupe of Ilaiyaraaja, a great composer of all time and one of many composers to whom musical instruments belonging to Rahman's father were rented to. Rahman later played in the orchestra of M. S. Viswanathan and Ramesh Naidu, accompanied Zakir Hussain, Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan and L. Shankar on world tours and obtained a scholarship to Trinity College of Music, where he graduated with a degree in Western classical music.
A lesson that i ve learned
One thing what i have learned is that, your parents look after you since you are born and till the time you start working and your able to stand on your own legs and look after yourself. But after you start earning and do something for them with the money you have earned, it will never be equal to anything they have done for you.
It is the duty of the parents to take care of you till you grow up at the same time it the duty of the children to take care of the parents when they grow old. Just remember one thing "what you do is what you get" "Your children will treat you the way how you have treated your parents" so please set an example for your children.
Save the tiger
I found this heartening truth and i wanted to share it with all of you so that we realize what is happening around us.
A few years down the lane after the independence it was note that the number of tigers in our country was dwindling, in order to control it project tiger was started in 1973 to save the dwindling populations of tigers. All these years many tiger census where released but none spoke of the truth.
A few years down the lane after the independence it was note that the number of tigers in our country was dwindling, in order to control it project tiger was started in 1973 to save the dwindling populations of tigers. All these years many tiger census where released but none spoke of the truth.
This in spite of the fact that the number of tiger reserves has tripled since Project Tiger began. The 2006 tiger Census reveals that:
- In 1972, a year before Project Tiger began there were 1,827 tigers in India.
- In 1997 the Tiger Census showed that there were 3,507 tigers.
- And in 2006 the official estimate of the number of tigers is 1,411 only.
A look at some broad trends
Tiger Sanctuaries like Corbett National Park in Uttaranchal and Bandipur, and Nagarhole in Karnataka are safe havens with the number of tigers in these areas remaining more or less the same.
Central and Western India was supposed to be a safe haven for tigers, but the latest Tiger Census shows that the number of Tigers in Madhya Pradesh have almost halved in the last five-six years.
Sanctuaries in Madhya Pradesh like Panna and Kanha and even Melghat in Maharashtra have witnessed a drastic reduction in the number of tigers.
Present situation
- Today there are 28 tiger reserves in the country spread across 17 states.
- Central India once best habitat for tigers has noted sharp decline as per latest reports.
- New methodology for counting tigers was introduced in 2006 using camera traps.
- As per last census in 2002 tigers were estimated to be 3500.
- After poaching outbreak in Sariska all tigers were wiped out here.
What the states say?
Madhya Pradesh
2002 – 710
2006 – 300
Orissa
2002 – 173
2006 - 45
Maharashtra
2002 – 238
2006 - 103
Andhra Pradesh
2002 - 192
2006 – 95
Chattisgarh
2002 – 227
2006 – 26
Its high time we realize what is happening and come forward to protect our National animal. Its just like the proverb "Its better late than never". So at least now we should start doing things which must have been done years ago. I pray that these magnificent creatures live a longer life and don't go down with the animals that have extinct.
Injury concerns for India before SA tour
India are feeling the effects of the three-month long tour to Australia with four of their players, including Sachin Tendulkar, doubtful for the Test series against South Africa, starting on March 26.
Tendulkar, Ishant Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, and Yuvraj Singh are required to rest for a minimum of two to three weeks, the Indian physio, John Gloster, has said in his report to the board.
According to the report, Tendulkar is suffering from tendonitis in the right hip region and will require a minimum of two weeks rest. Ishant is troubled by injuries to his toe and finger, Harbhajan has pulled a left hamstring, and Yuvraj's knee continues to be a problem. Yuvraj and Harbhajan could even have to undergo surgeries.
"He must ideally have three weeks break from cricket and excessive activities. He must try to do a lot of swimming, cycling and water running," Gloster, the outgoing physio, wrote in his last fitness report. "He must have a straighter approach when attacking the ball. He must take care while turning on the ball or else it could lead to instability which might need surgery."
All the players have been referred to Melbourne-based surgeon David Young. All the four injured players were part of both the Test and one-day squads and went through a gruelling tour that was not short of controversy.
