THE SKIN SECRETS

Less than a millimeter thick in places,the skin is composed of three layers.The outermost layer is the bloodless epidermis.The dermis includes collagen,elastin and nerve endings.The innermost layer,subcutaneous fa,contains tissue that acts as anenergy source,cushion and insulator for the body.

    It is the skin that provides the sensory stimulation for our body.We can live without hearing or seeing-in fact ,with out any of our other senses.But babies born without effective nerve connections between skin and brain can fall to thrive and may even die.For humans insufficient touching in early years can have lifelong results, “in touching cultures,adult aggression is low,whereas in cultures where touches are limited adult aggression is high” writes Tiffany Field,director of the Toud research institute at the university of Miami school of Medicine.Studies of a variety of cultures show a correspondence between high rates of physical affection in childhood and low rates of adult physical violence.

    The skin has millions of nerve cells of various shapes at different depths.When the nerve cells are stimulated,physical energy is transformed into energy used by the nervous system and passed from the skin to the spinal cord and brain.In simploe terms people perceive  three basic things through skin;pain,temperature,and pressure.

   Over exposure to sun is highly dangerous to skin.repeated sunburn and prolonged exposure to utra violet radiation from sunlight can cause irreppairable damage to the DNA within skin cells and allowing cancerous cells to take root.the colour of the skin depends mainly on melanin a brownish pigment produced by the melanocytes in the epidermis.

    When we age,the skin loses its ability to retain moisture;the dermis loses its elasticity and its collagen stretches;and lines and wrinkles from laughter and other habitual facial expression deepen.Toxins in cigarette smoke accelerate skin-cell aging.

                                                                      ജനകീയകവി 

      കുഞ്ചന്‍ നമ്ബിഅര്‍  സാമൂഹിക അവബോധമുള്ള കവിയായിരുന്നു.അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ വിമര്സനങ്ങള്‍ പരിഹാസം തുലുംബുന്നതയിരുന്നു.മലയാളത്തില്‍ ഇ രിതി ഒരു പുതുമ തന്നെ ആയിരുന്നു.ചാക്യാര്‍ കൂതിനൂട് അതിനു വളരെ സദ്രിസ്യമുണ്ട്.
           
       അക്കാലത്തെ സാമൂഹിക അവസ്ഥ ന്മ്ബിഅര്‍ കവിതകളില്‍ കാണാന്‍ സാധിക്കും.ധാരാളം പ്രഭുകുടുംബങ്ങള്‍ അക്കലതുണ്ടായിരുന്നു.പ്രഭുക്കള്‍ മാത്രമല്ല സാധാരണ ജനതയും നമ്ബിഅരുടെ പരിഹാസവിമാര്സനതിന്റെ ചാട്ടവാറടി എട്ടിട്ടുണ്ട്. 

      എഴുതച്ചന്‍  മലയാളഭാഷയില്‍ ചെയ്തതു   പോലെ  നമ്ബിഅര്‍ ഒരു പുതിയ ശൈലി തുടങ്ങി.എറ്റവും ലളിതവും ശുദ്ധവുമായ മലയാളസൈലി നമ്ബിഅര്ക്കവിതകലുദെ ഒരു സവിശേഷത ആണ്.തന്‍ ജനസാമാന്യത്തിനു വേണ്ടി എഴുതുന്നുവെന്നു അദ്ദേഹം എടുത്ത് പറയുന്നു.പുരണ കതപാത്രങ്ങളെയും പസ്ച്ചാ തലങ്ങളെയും സാധാരണക്കാര്‍ക്ക് പരിചിതമായ റീതിയില്‍ അദ്ദേഹം അവതരിപ്പിച്ചു.

      വര്‍ണനകള്‍ വസ്തവികബോധം ജനിപ്പിക്കുന്നവ ആയിരുന്നു.നമ്ബിഅരുടെ പരിഹാസത്തിനു വിഷയമാകാത്ത യാതൊരു ജനവിഭാഗവും അക്കലതുണ്ടയിരുന്നില്ല.നര്‍മ രസതിലൂടെ മലയാളികളെ ചിരിപ്പിക്കുകയും ചിന്തിപ്പിക്കുകയും ചെയ്ത  നമ്ബിഅര്‍ മലയാളത്തിന്റെ ആദ്യ ജനകീയകവി തന്നെ.

Cave Drawings

Before the rays of culture falling,before study to write letters humans had familiarised with colours and their mixing.The early born cave drawings are solid proof to this.So we can clearly say that different cultures were formed from the art of drawing.
  

       Human sense on art and culture have started since upper palio lithic period.Humans preferred caves as a shelter from weather disasters and other wild animals.During that time he used the walls of the caves as canvas for his drawings.These are the early drawings and they gave many informations regarding the lifestyle at that time.


        Bhimbedka,Ajentha,Ellora,Bag caves,Sithanavasal,Edykkal(Kerala) are the famous caves in India where we can see artistic talents of  early humans on their walls.

Before the sun set
      
  In the time of summer there is no need to explain about the heat of sun rays.At the mid of the day it comes  at it maximum,and people are hesitated to go outside.Because studies  are showing that sun rays are coming with its maximum intensity and causes some healthy problems too.So when sun moves from our straight top of the head to our back side that is to west it becomes easy to go outside and do things whatever we need.
         Evening  time is a portion of day time at which people are starting their relaxation after the rushes happened in the whole day.That is it is the preparation of mind to get a good night sleep.If we specify this portion of day  with time according to me, it is 4PM to 6PM.Children use this time for playing,older persons and different office workers are going for jogging.Couples are going to some park where wonderful breeze with the smell of flowers  gives a strong support to their talks makes them feel cool and open mind,through that empowering their relation and creating  a situation of  a wonderful love song.For some people including me those who has’nt a girl friend the best companion in the evening is a cup of coffee and a book for reading.Take a cup of coffee and start drinking  when you start reading.As your focus on the book increases your interest in coffee will also increase.After when you complete your reading coffee cup will be clean.
        Beach is another good place to spend evening time.We can see sun as a red ornamental dot at a long distance and in front of that at the  bottom side sea  is lying as a flowing blue carpet.God is great what a view ,what a creation.I am sure any one who is interestingly watching this sunset in this world whatever problem he is affected with he will forget that, his mind will be calm  and of course he may find some solution too.If we  look into the sky,we can see group of different kinds of birds flying to get into their own living homes before the sunset.While flying they are forming different shapes in the sky.
     When time passes small air comes,giving indication that sun the only one witness of all the happenings in this world  is going to sleep  and we all need to be there in our own houses.Preparations for the night begins to get a good sleep and wake up in the next morning with new aims and to get a new day with full of energies.

                    TOURISM POTENTIALS IN KERALA

        Kerala,renowned for its lush vegetation,tranquil beaches,extensive backwaters and stunning mountains,holds tremendous tourism potentials.Its performing arts,games,temple festivalsand the unique cuisine invite foreign tourists as well as tourist from other states of India. 

        This tiny state that clings to the south-western flank of Indian peninsula offers a eich and beguiling culture that embraces Hinduism,Christianity,Islam,Jainism and Judaism.The temples,churches,mosques and synagogues echo a long history of global connections.The experience of the religious tolerance in Kerala is a source of immence cultural education for the tourists.

Kathakali
       Kerala is famous for its different kind of festivals.The Onam festival is celebrated by the entire populace of the state,irrespective of caste,creed and religion.This unique festival is an occasion for remembering  agolden era when equality justice and freedom prevailed.Onam festival is only a glimpse of Kerala’s culture.

Thrissur Pooram
      










                                     The internationally famous ‘Katahkali’ and other indigenous dance forms like ‘Theyyam’,’Koodiyattam’ , ‘Mohihiniyattam’ , ‘Krishnanattam’ and ‘Ottamthullal’ charm the western tourists.The ‘Trissur Pooram’ with scores of caparisoned elephants flanked by musicians and torch beares is really enchanting to thr foreign visitors.Kerala is also the birth place of the highly stylished martial art of ‘Kalaripayattu’.

        The labyrinthine backwaters provide an altogether different experience for the tourist.Travelling towards the east,one comes across the ruggedness of Western ghats with its craggy rocks,the spice gardens and the tea plantations.The ‘Periyar wild life sanctuary’,one of the most popular and well-organised sanctuaries in India,is a great attraction to the tourists.

       Kerala with its literate public and clean surroundings can intelligently use all this romantic natural resources as atourist potential.Holiday houses and individual houses with modern facilities can be used to accommodate lower income tourists.Individual involvement will preserve the natural beauty of the land and thus promote an ecofriendly tourism.
