जंग टलती रहे तो बेहतर है 

खून अपना हो या पराया हो
नस्ल ए आदम का खून है आखिर
जंग मशरिक में हो या मगरिब में
अम्न ए आलम का खून है आख़िर

बम घरों पर गिरें कि सरहद पर
रूहे-तामीर जख्म खाती है
खेत अपने जलें या औरों के
जीस्त फाकों से तिलमिलाती है

टैंक आगे बढ़ें या पीछे हटें
कोख धरती की बांझ होती है
फतेह का जश्न हो या हार का सोग
जिंदगी मय्यतों पे रोती है

जंग तो खुद ही एक मसला है
जंग क्या मसअलों का हल देगी
खून ओर आग आज बरसेगी
भूख ओर एहतियाज कल देगी
इसलिए ए शरीफ इंसानों
जंग टलती रहे तो बेहतर है
आप ओर हम सभी के आंगन में
शम्मा जलती रहे तो बेहतर है

Dr. Ashok D. B. Vaidya

Dr. Ashok D B Vaidya is a great person I was able to meet 2 times in my life.

He is a great researcher and father of Dr. Vidita Vaidya.

It might take time for me to understand and write about him, hence I will keep updating this post as I will get more information and time.

I liked his interview in which he says that - "Science is learning to say - I don't know"

Dr. Abhay Bang had suggested me his name to meet him and I was able to find him out only based on his name and was able to meet him at his home at Parel, Mumbai.

Will share more about him as time permits and as I understand more.

Calorie restriction for weight reduction

Just now I posted a comment about calorie restriction for weight reduction while replying to a comment. I think it will be useful for others who might not see that comment, hence posting the information below. Any questions are welcome. I am not an expert in it, but I will try to give answers based on my current knowledge. If I don't find answer, let's try to find out answers. But all the questions are welcome. Naidu sir had said once - "No question is a foolish question"

I have mainly reduced it by calorie restriction. It is such an interesting thing to know that our daily calorie requirement is 2000 KCal on an average and if we will create calorie deficit (for example taking only 800 KCal a day and in this way creating a deficit of 1200 KCal daily), body will use it's enegy stores, which are fats. When a deficit of 7000 KCal is created, 1 kg weight is reduced. So restricting the calories (not food) is the best way to reduce weight.

Science is about measurement, hence I make use of measurement as the biggest tool. I have brought kitchen weighing scale and I can precisely monitor the number of calories I am taking.

It is all game of calories as I understand it.

Exercise is important too but it is secondary to calorie restriction and I try to do it as per time and my mood. :P

Importance of having a goal in life

It is extremely important to have some aim / goal in life. Without aim, the life becomes boring and our actions can even become destructive ourselves. We need not keep a very big aim always. Even a short, temporary goal will also do. But we need to make sure that we are following some aim all the time. It is also fine if we get failure while chasing it, but aimlessness is a very dangerous state of mind which needs to be handled very carefully.
