Pregnancy Against All Odds

When Dr Firuza Parikh came back from the US to set up India's first private in vitro fertilisation (IVF) centre at Mumbai's Jaslok Hospital in the early '90s, her colleagues at the Yale School of Medicine were stunned: "Infertility in India?"

But over the years the queue outside her clinic kept getting longer. With about 10-15 per cent of Indians facing fertility problems, Parikh has delivered over 5,000 babies through assisted reproduction. Parikh, the director at the department of assisted reproduction and genetics, Jaslok, has just come out with a book to help young, hopeful parents conceive. Extracts from an interview:

Q: Why is infertility becoming a big issue in urban India?

A: Urban India suffers from what I call "voluntary infertility". A lot of couples have demanding jobs, they come back home exhausted, perhaps eat take-away food from fast-food outlets and drop off to sleep-to be functional the next day. This is a story that I hear from couples regularly. Also a lot of educated women defer marriage till they can afford a maid, a driver, a three bedroom flat. By the time they reconcile to the thought of having a baby their biological clocks have already slowed down. Then they have to make a baby "happen."

Q: Is male infertility a serious threat?

A: It accounts for 40 per cent of all infertility, primarily due to sperm defects. Sometimes this is brought on by external factors like tight innerwear, very hot baths, smoking, exposure to radiation and toxic chemicals. Sometimes there's a physiological basis-diabetes, hypothyroidism or genetic aberrations.

Q: What about infertility in women?

A: I see many young women who show signs and symptoms of polycystic ovaries, a condition associated with metabolic disorders and obesity. From job pressure to vehicular pollution, postponing parenthood to sexual liberation, fast food to sedentary lifestyle, all have been linked to infertility.

Conception Timeline

A: woman's fertility peaks between age 27 and 34. That's the best time to have the first baby. The best time to get pregnant? Watch out for the narrow window of time during ovulation, two weeks into the menstrual cycle. The life of a human egg is about 36 hours, while a sperm can survive in a woman's body for about 48 hours.

30% more chances of conception every month if a couple engages in unprotected sex at least three times a week.

Myth : Daily sex increases chances of pregnancy

Reality : No it doesn't. It may, in fact, bring down sperm count on the day of ovulation.

Top 10 Tips For Programmers

When you start programming then you must take care of the following points:  1. Set your goal and make estimates : It happens many times that we start designing and writing our applicationwithout setting our goals. After the release of application some problems may occur like out of memory problem, performance issues, scaling etc. Try to make an estimate to avoid these problems in advance. 2. Human readable code : A programmer should make human readable code. For a complier it does not matter if you use a single letter identifiers or a more human readable identifiers, if you write optimized expression or more human readable simple expressions. Compiler does not take long time to compile longer identifiers.  3. Write small routines : In past few years, methods are made much smaller. Methods are small enough to accomplish a task and can be understood in a short time. Long methods are difficult to understand, debug and maintain. These long methods are difficult to test.

4. Avoid premature optimization : Sometimes programmer thinks that the clever code is difficult to reador to comprehend. Programmer should write their code clearly and cleanly. After that they should find out where the bottlenecks are and optimize them.  5. Try to avoid global variable : Global variables are made once and can be used in all methods. These are v isible to everywhere. This is a great feature as well as worst too. A programmer has no control, that who is changing or accessing the variable. Local variables provide more control over the program.  6. Try to avoid looping problem : Sometimes loop index is incremented irregularly. That’s why a loop is traversed an incorrect number of time. Some times one may forget that an array may be zero based and some time one based. To avoid such problem, some programming languages are providing for…each loop. Programmers can use functional programming technique called “Map” to avoid this problem.  7. Handle exceptions : Many languages use an exception system. These languages use the keywordslike throw, try, catch, finally etc. Exceptions have the ability to unwind the stack, automatically returning from nested routines until the exception is trapped and dealt with. Programmers should be clear to the type of exception they catch.  8. Validate user input : Earlier our input validations were limited to number validations, date validation, text validation etc. Malicious users could enter data into your program to take control over your applicationor your server. The most famous is SQL injections and XSS attacks. So validate your application for all type of possible hacker input also.  9. Be up to date with technologies : Programmers should try to be knowledgeable and should maintain their expertise. They should learn about new techniques. New techniques, that are of equal or greater importance.  10. Write documentation : Try to write more and more comments or explanation for our code. Documentation will help you and others to understand your code. But do not store secret information like password etc in your application.

Beautiful Poem by Late Dr. Pandit Shanker Dayal Sharma (Ex President) to open our eyes

Al-Qur'an:

Amal ki kitab thi

Dua ki kitab bana dia

Samajhne ki kitab thi

Parhne ki kitab bana dia

Zindaon ka dastoor tha

Murdon ka manshoor bana dia

Jo ilm ki kitab thi

Usey la ilmon ke hath thama dia

Taskheer-e-kayenat ka dars dene aayi thi

Sirf madarson ka nisaab bana dia

Murda qomon ko zinda karne aayi thi

Murdon ko bakhshwane per laga dia

Aye Musalmano ye hamne kia kiya?

Zara socheay!

School Bans Skirts

Mizoram cops blame sex tapes for sex crimes

Mizoram government has banned to wear short skirts to girls and low waist paints to boys in school. In the circular issued for state schools on Tuesday, short skirts and low waist  paints have been banned.

The student violating this order will be fined Rs 300 firstly and then being found on further violation of the rule the fine may be Rs.500.

The student may be dismissed from the school if found violating the rule third time. The rule has been implemented in all the  schools whether it is public or private  from primary to higher secondary classes.

The state’s top student organization Mizo Jirlai Paul (MJP) has shown concern regarding the short skirts and low waist paints in schools, they have requested the government to implement an idol dress code. After the request government decided to ban the short skirts and low waist paints in the schools.

Government order states that the skirt should be such that, it should touch the knee. Also girls are not allowed to keep their hairs colored or short. Boys are stated that they should not keep their hair spread and should not use gel.

Fairly permissive Mizoram had been wondering why 'mainland malaise' such as rape and pedophilia were stalking the highlanders. The police have found an answer – sex videos – after an influential students' body blamed it on 'sexy' school dresses. Finding a pattern to rapes in Mizoram, the police in 



this northeastern state discovered that most men caught on charges of rape were aged 40 years or above. And a majority of their victims were girls aged 10-15 years.
"Convicted rapists and others caught on charges of sexually assaulting young girls and minors confessed they watched sex videos before striking," said Aizawl superintendent of police Lalbiakthanga Khaingte.


The study also revealed that 30.2% victims were in the 10-15 age group, 20.3% in the 5-10 age group and 18.3% aged between 15 and 20 years.


The findings followed a rally by the Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP) last week to condemn the increasing rate of crimes against women in Mizoram. MHIP is Mizoram's apex body of women.


"We have been seeking stringent laws to check rapes, murders and other crimes against women," said MHIP president Lalthlamuani. "The most disturbing trend in Mizoram is the rape and murder of minors."


A 5-year-old girl was raped and murdered in Aizawl on November 11. A similar case was reported elsewhere in the state on October 18.


According to the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) or Mizo Students' Union, the government's lethargy in implementing strict dress codes in educational institutions has been 'encouraging' sexual attacks.


Mizoram's school education department had earlier this year formed the Committee on Indecent School Dress and Hairstyle after the MZP demanded a ban on underwear-showing low-slung trousers and micro mini skirts in schools and colleges.


"But the government is yet to issue orders to the schools to ensure a decent dress code," MZP president Khraws Hmehova told HT from Aizawl on Monday. He added the MZP was mobilizing its units for implementing strict social codes aimed at checking involuntary sex and punishing men who cross the line.
