Baba Ranga ki Satya Katha - Episode 1

Year 2006, a “Baba” came to our college Jai-IIT (Jai Institute of Information Technology). This college was built few years ago in the memory of ‘Jai’ of Sholay by his girlfriend ‘Radha’. This man looked like the perfect blend of Veerappan decoit and a holy saint (refer picture). Scary appearance, long, silky hairs, floor kissing whiskers, peculiar spects, slim built and assertive personality, this is how he looked. For the 1st few days after his appointment in the department of waste-technology, everybody stared at him. “Who is this bhoot?”, asked everyone to others.

Unmarried, this man was half frustrated with females. Whatever be the problem, he used to bear grudge against some or the other female of the department. Can’t say he was right or not but his explanations regarding his hatred were all just.

One day Baba Ranga was passing by the tuck shop. He found a couple sharing a chocolate ice cream and that too very indecently. Once the boy licked the ice cream and then the girl and this continued for a while. Ranga stood boldly infront of them and stared at their faces while they licked the ice creams. Uninterrupted, the couple kept on enjoying the moment. Then Ranga uttered “Hey man, if you are short of money then borrow it from me. But, atleast buy two ice creams, one for each of you”. Ashamed of their act, the couple left and ran away.

This was the starting of Baba Ranga’s effect. Such incidents continued. Not only students but also teachers were the sufferers of his fury. Within a few days itself, Dr. Malini Kurmuri (Vice Head of the department) became a target of Ranga because of her attitude. Malini and Ranga were at an angle of 180 degrees always. His fame kept on growing. He got famous not only in this department but also in other departments and administration.

Like a desperate man, he gazed at Dr. Pratishtha Gandi’s sandle heels and makeup whenever she passed by him. Also, he passed various comments on her beauty. What to say, Ranga was not the only one to do so. Many guys did the same.

Tea Benefits - "Who says tea is not good?"

Tea is known as nature’s ‘wonder drug’. Of late, tea and its healthy benefits have been receiving wide attention in the media. The ability of tea to promote good health has long been believed in many countries, especially Japan, China, India, and even England.

The buzz about tea and its benefits is getting louder and is simply becoming too difficult to ignore. Enlightened tea drinkers are rediscovering the protective and revitalizing benefits of this ancient drink. Ever wonder why the Chinese and Japanese have some of the longest life-expectancy rates in the world. Shhh…here’s the secret: they drink tea a lot.

Who knows, what you read here may eventually save you and your family’s life.

First of all, you need to answer these very simple questions:

Are you concerned that your kids might join the burgeoning ranks of obese children due to the unhealthy effects of their everyday consumption of tasty treats like burgers, hotdogs, pizza, chips and candies?

Are you concerned about the lurking threat of heart attacks and strokes that might hit you, your spouse or your parents anytime due to the adverse effects of fat-filled diet, smoking, and drinking?

Are you concerned that the stress of everyday life and exposure to harmful elements in the environment could wear your family’s defenses down and expose them to the threat of cancer?

Tea: Health Benefits and Wonders
Tea is the second most widely consumed beverage in the world, exceeded only by the most necessary of all liquids - water. Tea is an integral part of everyday societal life in many of the world’s most populous countries. This has made tea the most popular beverage for a huge swath of the world’s people.

Tea is prepared from linder leaves, leaf buds and tender stalks of different varieties of the warm-weather evergreen known as camellia sinensis. The most popular types of tea are:

Green Tea
Black Tea

Other teas are:

Ginseng Tea
Herbal Tea
Rooibos Tea

The degree of processing the leaves of camellia sinensis determines whether a tea will be green, black or red (oolong). Green tea is the least processed. These are simply steamed quickly before packaging. Black and red tea are partially dried, crushed and fermented. The length of fermentation, which causes the leaves to blacken, determines whether the tea will be red or black.


Recent research shows that any tea derived from camellia sinensis has cancer-fighting properties. The leaves of this plant contain chemicals called polyphenols, which give tea its antioxidant properties.

Polyphenols in tea have been known to:

Help protect cells from the normal, but damaging, physiological process known as "oxidative stress." Although oxygen is vital to life, it's also incorporated into reactive substances called free radicals. These can damage the cells in our body and have been implicated in the slow chain reaction of damage leading to heart disease and cancer.

Help prevent blood clotting
Help lower cholesterol levels
Help neutralize enzymes that aid in the growth of tumors
Help deactivate cancer promoters
Help stimulate the immune system

Tea also has fluoride for strong teeth, virtually no calories, and half the amount of caffeine found in an equally-sized cup of coffee. Whether decaffeinated tea has the same level of polyphenols, and thus the same health benefits, as regular tea has not yet been studied. Caffeine is a natural component of tea leaves. It is not yet known if removing caffeine also removes polyphenols.

Apart from polyphenols, tea also contains a variety of ingredients that are beneficial to one's health. These include theanine (an amino acid unique to tea), vitamins, minerals, and methylxanthines. These are the components that are the source of the healthful properties of tea. These are known to:

Help fight against mutagenic agents
Delay aging
Help fight high blood pressure
Help fight against viral and bacterial infection
Help improve the functions of the digestive and excretory systems

To sum it up - by drinking 2-4 cups a day of tea, you can reap in the numerous curative and preventive tea benefits.

Roses are red, Violets are blue!

Have you ever tried to perceive ‘What makes one different’? Does he possess qualities common to all or has a stuff different from others? Has god given him precious virtues or he himself has incorporated “best” in his qualities? Can you find an answer to all these questions? Well, I do not think? Its like a mystery unexplored because no one has ever tried to find out that why “different” makes a difference.

Gardener gives water and supplements to all the herbs of his nursery but have you ever glared at those red roses there? Aren’t they unique? What makes them shine more brighter despite being in company of thorns and spikes.

God does not shower mercy on them. Its they themselves who use the same nourishment as supplied to others and use them in such a way that it nourishes their very own soul and the result is worth praising.

Its not god but oneself that makes difference. One has to visualize his ultimate potential, the areas he can drive to reach out, his resources and his very own will. All these when supplemented with chivalry (courage) and determination makes one extend himself into wider dimensions and reach out the unexplored areas of his potential.

Problems flow in as a wave of bad times in one’s life, shakes him up and his senses and step out. But what after that? It leaves an impression on the mind of ‘different’ and it gets impregnated there as a source of inspiration for further times. Problems arise as problems and leave as solutions only if one uses his potential and mental skills in a normally balanced manner.

Different are their actions, thoughts and the applications of these. Remember “ Good thoughts lead to good actions and good actions lead to success”. So, one who is successful, uses his capabilities successfully. We should not forget that ‘different’ is not different but his deeds make difference.

Never try to look different, just put your heart, mental impressions and dedication to your actions so that they may speak your very own language of success that you may never be able to say and the world will feel the difference in your actions that they might not be able to perform ever.

Remember: Believe in the best so that the difference makes you different.
