Cancer is a living organism capable of its own thought. It grows in a certain kind of environment toxic, to be precise. There is a possibility of cancer regression/ disappearance when toxicity is eliminated.
This is true both for “real” and metaphorical cancers.
Call it the arrow of cancer. Like the arrow of time, it was supposed to point in one direction. Cancers grew and worsened.
Here’s what NY Times writes about it:

Does running a marathon push the body further than it is meant to go?
The conventional wisdom is that distance running leads to debilitating wear and tear, especially on the joints. But that hasn’t stopped runners from flocking to starting lines in record numbers.
Last year in the United States, 425,000 marathoners crossed the finish line, an increase of 20 percent from the beginning of the decade, Running USA says. Next week about 40,000 people will take part in the New York City Marathon. Injury rates have also climbed, with some studies reporting that 90 percent of those who train for the 26.2-mile race sustain injuries in the process.
But now a best-selling book has reframed the debate about the wisdom of distance running. In “Born to Run” (Knopf), Christopher McDougall, an avid runner who had been vexed by injuries, explores the world of the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico, a tribe known for running extraordinary distances in nothing but thin-soled sandals.
This poen was written by Khalil Gibran in his book, “The garden of the prophet”, which was published in 1934, three years after his death. It isn’t a surprise that the poem still holds true …even after 75 years of its publication!!
Pity the nation that is full of beliefs and empty of religion.
Pity the nation that wears a cloth it does not weave,
eats a bread it does not harvest,
and drinks a wine that flows not from its own wine-press.
Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero,
and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful.
‘Should I rejoice that we’ll soon have a thalassaemia bill … or should I be sad that Salman isn’t among us to celebrate this news?’ wrote Ayesha Mehmood on her blog.
Ayesha is the sister of an unsung hero, late Salman Mehmood, who was running a website for the awareness of thalassemia patients.
I thought I was the only one who was having trouble juggling my work, household chores, and keeping to date with my friends’ updates on Facebook and Twitter. But now I know that I am not the only one. In fact, – and this is quite funny – ancient Greeks too, in their own time, were finding it difficult to keep up with increasing ‘technological innovations’.
Here is what Mark Vernon writes about it:
1. Go with the flow
To live in a high-tech world is to live in a world of change. It was not dissimilar for the ancient Greeks. The adventures of Alexander the Great reshaped the known world. Technologies that could build the Parthenon were being developed. So, said Zeno the Stoic, don’t resist the change; learn to live with it. If you can go with the flow, you’ll find tranquility.
While Shalimar Gardens are famous partially for being the final resting place of their founder, the late Mughal King, Jehangir; Anarkali Bazaar, the other famous landmark of Lahore, plays host to another great muslim ruler- Sultan Qutub-uddin Aibak.
Born into a Turk family in Central Asia, Aibak was sold into slavery to a local chieftain as a young boy. The chief treated Aibak like his own son and taught him the fine art of military maneuvers and horsemanship. After the chief’s death, his sons, jealous of Aibak’s special treatment, sold him to Mohd Khan Ghauri.
As Ghauri started conquering parts of India, he appointed Aibak, who had rapidly risen through the ranks to become Ghauri’s most trusted general, as his Governor to oversee the new territory.

HERE’S a little story: The rosy-fingered goddess Eos falls in love with Tithonus, a Trojan. She asks Zeus, the ruler of Mount Olympus, to grant immortality to the love of her life. Zeus obliges. It makes Tithonus exceedingly happy. But with the passage of time, he realizes that it’s eternal life that he’s been bestowed with, not youth. So Tithonus grows older and older, feebler and feebler, lying helplessly under a tree.
No different seems to be the fate of the Max Denso Hall & Library, the Mercantile Cooperative Bank Building, the Mandi Wala Building and the Jehangir Kothari Building on Bunder Road. They’re growing aged by the minute, and the thoroughfare flanked by these oldies is getting smoggier, dirtier and cloggier. Sadly, Eos can’t do anything about it, or so it seems.

The first time I saw Ejaz Butt was more than half a century ago. Earlier this year I saw him again. I was seized with the sea change that age, fatigue and stress had wrought on the man who ruled over hearts at the Lahore Stadium, long before Zulfikar Ali Bhutto renamed it the ‘Gaddafi Stadium.’ Butt made a picture-perfect pose when he batted. A ball once smacked his face giving him a bloody nose. The whole stadium stood up in hushed silence. We cried.
A group of fishermen on a tiny island off the coast of Sindh province can easily boast to be pioneers in the effort of using wind turbine to generate electricity for their m
eager homes.
Here’s what AFP says about the group:
Harochhan, Pakistan — A tiny island of fishermen is light years ahead of the rest of Pakistan, powering homes and businesses with wind turbines — protecting the environment and improving the quality of life.
The government may lack the cash to harness hydro, wind and solar resources on a large scale in the electricity-starved country but charities are lighting the way forward by putting wind power to work in remote villages.

The human body functions at a very delicate temperature balance of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. This is usually the measure for finding out whether you are in “normal” health or not. However, the most accurate measure of health is your blood chemistry or more specifically the alkaline/acid balance in your blood stream, which for a healthy person is at 7.365.
However, most of us lead unbalanced lives and our dietary habits are anything but healthy, which leads to a buildup of acidity and toxicity in the body. The system which cleans out the toxicity is the lymphatic system. But it only works when the muscles of the body move — it does not have a pump like the heart, so it relies on muscular movement and breath. Deep breathing and active movement like exercise, yoga, walking etc helps pump the lymph thru the lymphatic system.
