Why SMSing is harmful for YOU Sending or receiving a Short Message Service is generally considered a harmless activity. However, according to a recently carried-out study, the seemingly innocuous SMSs could bring some disorders like uneasiness, anger or even sleeplessness! The survey was conducted by Indore-based Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College (MGMMC) on 150 youths aged between 18 and 25 years. The study concluded that those, who loved using SMS frequently, developed uneasiness, anger and sleeplessness. "The youths in the habit of texting SMS, were falling prey to depression and fear," Dr Sanjay Dixit, Head of the Department at the MGMMG Community Medicine, said. "Nearly 47 per cent females and 39 per cent males accepted that their text messaging habit hit their daily routine in some way. Around 60 per cent youths feel that the habit was even affecting their studies," Dr Dixit said. Forty per cent females and 45 per cent males admitted that they did not enjoy sound sleep, he added. "If there is no reply to the SMS, 55 per cent youths get upset, while 32 per cent feel dejected, presuming that no one wanted to be in their contact. Around 93 per cent turn anxious after they don't get a reply to their SMS for a long time," the study says. It further notes that nearly 41 per cent keep checking their mobile phone hand sets for reply after texting their SMS and this anxiousness is called 'Textaphrenia'. The survey noted that out of the 150 surveyed youths, 129 had bought different plans to lower the tariff charges of text messaging.

Bid to kill boy’s kin for ‘honour’ hry1.jpg The tale of an inter-caste love affair and marriage of a runaway couple turned murkier today when a kin of the girl allegedly tried to kill the parents and three other kin of the boy by crushing their car with his tractor. After Dalip Singh, a former sarpanch of Hinjrawan Khurd village, allegedly hit the car thrice, both the tractor as well as the car overturned and fell on roadside fields, resulting in serious injuries to the alleged assailant. The boy’s parents and other kin also sustained injuries. The boy’s kin alleged that Dalip Singh was a close relative of the girl and he allegedly tried to kill them in the name of family honour “under the cover of a road accident”. Admitted to the general hospital here, boy Parveen’s father Shamsher Chand Kamboj alleged that the police had not registered their FIR, though they had given a written complaint. “My son had eloped with Santosh, a girl of the Bajigar community from our village on March 22 this year. Both are major and we do not have any news regarding them since then. However, members of the girl’s family have been threatening us since then,” he alleged. The girl’s family, he said, was angry with his son’s relation with Santosh. He said he was going towards Haripura village with his wife Sita Rani, brother Krishan, sister-in-law Krishna and a relative Sheela Rani today, when Dalip Singh allegedly tried to crush their car with his tractor. “First I thought that it was a simple accident. But, he hit my Alto car thrice before I could recover from the jerk received from the first thump,” said Shamsher Chand. The SHO of the Sadar police station, Vijender Kumar, said Dalip Singh was critically injured and the police would register an FIR after recording the statements of both the sides. Dalip Singh has been shifted to Hisar in a critical condition.

Siamese twins dead hry2.jpg Even the best efforts by doctors proved insufficient to save the life of the Siamese twins, who died within four hours of their birth in a local nursing home late last evening. Dr Ravi Kant Dawra, a paediatrician in Patiala Children and Maternity Home, where the conjoined twins were born last evening through a caesarian section, declared them dead late last evening. The thoracopagus twins - those conjoined at the thorax - had a common heart and even their lungs were interlinked. Sukhwinder (22), a woman from Sanga village near here, delivered the Siamese twins last evening in the nursing home. “As the auscultation of the heart rate by stethoscope was not possible due to their unison at the thorax, pulsation at their umbilical chords, which too was united, was the only source of recording the rate of blood circulation,” said Dr Dawra. The twins’ pulse ran at 100 beats per minute at the time of birth, but they had a problem in breathing. Dr Dawra said he tried his best to resuscitate the twins by giving artificial respiration through ambubag, but as was feared, the pulse stopped in the night and he had to declare the twins dead after all signs of life diminished. He said the Siamese twins with conjoined vital organs “are either delivered stillborn or have bleak chances of survival”. To avoid such situations, Dr Dawra said, the parents should follow modern obstetrics care that includes an ultrasound test in the sixth week to confirm the pregnancy and another in the second trimester to ascertain the wellbeing of the foetus. “The process of organogenesis (formation of body organs) is complete by 12 weeks and if the parents come to know of deformities like the conjoined twins at that stage, they have sufficient time to opt for abortion,” said the hospital gynaecologist, Dr Anjana Dawra. She said under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act - 1971, any doctor approved to conduct abortion, could legally recommend the medical termination of pregnancy in such cases, if the pregnancy was up to 12 weeks old. However, in case of more than 12 weeks and up to 20 weeks of pregnancy, a medical board of three doctors could recommend abortion legally. “The period between the 12th to 14th weeks is the optimum time for confirming the wellbeing of the foetus, so that timely steps could be taken, if needed,” she added.

No cell phone for Rekha!

It is commonly believed that senior actors don't use cell phones. An oft-cited example is Aamir Khan, who owned a mobile much later than others, shunning it when knee-deep in work. But times are changing. Other old-timers are warming to mobiles while they're still reluctant about sharing their numbers. One such example is Bollywood's eternal diva - Rekha. Even her closest friends in the industry don't have her number. Once, we were desperate to get in touch with Madam Re. Her dear friend 'Hemu' (Hema Malini) advised us to call her on the landline and leave a message along with a number on voicemail. It did work. Rekha's manager Farzana promptly called back without wasting a minute and handed over the phone to her boss. "I too don't have Rekha's number. I always leave behind a message and she calls me back," said Hema with a chuckle.
