Patriotism Vs The Innocent Bangalore Woman !!!

Patriotism Vs The Innocent Bangalore Woman

What is Patriotism? It is very vital and pride question for us since we have already pay a lot for getting freedom.
According to me to love our people and make our country to terrorist free is patriotism. Patriotism is a love of and loyalty to one's country. A patriot is someone who loves, supports, and is prepared to serve their country. For most of history, love of fatherland or homeland was an attachment to the physical features of the land. But that notion changed in the eighteenth century, when the ideals of democracy, socialism, and communism strongly emerged into political thought. Patriotism was still a love of one's country that included connections to the land and people, but then also included its customs and traditions, pride in its history, and devotion to its welfare.

Today most people agree that patriotism also involves service to their country, but many disagree on how to best perform such service. Some believe that the national government speaks for a country; therefore, all its citizens should actively support government policies and actions. Others argue that a true patriot speaks out when convinced that their country is following an unwise or unjust action.

But in my opinion Patriotism is love for my country and for its people. Last year we have seen the terrorist attack on Mumbai and several other bomb blast in Hyderabad ,Bangalore and other part of the country. I think that to love our people and make our country activist free is patriotism. I would like to share to incident happen last year in Bangalore while 6 bomb blast takes place in Bangalore. We talk about patriotism but don’t want to work on this.


Life is a big obsession but we never care about it , we always ignore good moment, we laugh if someone talk about awful incident which happen in their life. We forget God but He knows and that’s why suddenly one day we will remember that there is someone who is watching us, sending signal that beware , anything can happen any time so love this precious life and help everyone , that is only the true services of our country.

I am going share one of horrify incident. I am working in Bangalore from last 2 year and I have to catch my bus from HP petrol pump Kormangla everyday, before that I used to come in cab which was provided by my employer. I was in second shift and I have to pick up my cab near from Madiwal bus stop at 1:30 pm everyday.

It was a usual Friday day , I wake up , had my breakfast and was planning to take my photograph from Kodak shop near to Forum, I think, time should be approximate 1:05 Pm, After that I have to pick my Cab also, so I was starting from my room and listening music, more often than not which I like to do. I was near to Madiwal bus stop and just going to pass the Madiwala bus stop, I saw some people and school children are sitting on the bus stop and waiting for bus. I saw that same time one bus reach at bus stop and people were trying to get into the bus, I just saw them and move ahead, I suppose , I was 10-20 step gone from the bus stop and suddenly listen a very massive sound, I saw smoke going on near to bus stop and one lady was falling on earth, people were standing tro and fro but no one was going near to the woman, then one guy who also injured, start crying and calling for help , later I know that he was her husband. It was the one of the bomb blast happen in Bangalore last year. The woman , was died on the spot and her husband was weeping badly. I was felling restless and fearful. I saw the , Man was weeping and blood was falling from his head.
Later police came and confirm it was a bomb blast which was posted near to bus stop. Same day there are 9 blast in Bangalore which killed two people and injured many. Whenever, I go to Madiwala bus stop, I often remembering that woman, later in news paper I read , the woman and her husband was living in Bangalore past few year, they were come in Bangalore for work. That day (Black Friday) her husband have some medical problem and they went to St. Joseph Hospital for some medical test, but due to less money, they were not able to carried out the test and going home to get money for test. They were waiting for bus at Madiwala bus stop where the whole incident happen. Today while writing this , I am thinking what was the mistake of that “Innocent Bangalorean women”. Due to bad moment only she was waiting there and all this happen due to bad circumstances, we don’t know what will happen tomorrow. I am prying God ,please give her peace and humanity to all those evil mind who want to destroy our country and it peace.

Everyday God wake up us and telling do some good work before dying but everyday we neglect His instruction, we don’t know up to what time we are here, so please care for this valuable life and pay regards to God, for giving us this beautiful, charming and splendor world to live , It is in our hand that which type of world we want to make it “PEACEFUL or FEARFUL”…Choice in our Hand, I think this is only called Patriotism. We can save our world , our country & our people, that is patriotism.

Let’s take a oath to make our country safe for us and for our upcoming generation and it will be best gift for them.

Wish you all very Happy, Peaceful and nationalism 61st Republic Day 2010.

Thank You.

Voice Improvement !!!

Voice is a important to put your thought in front of people and everyone want to speak but sometimes we have lack of confidence or not proper way to speak, which I have also faced in my daily life and always try to improve it. I find these below motioned point to improve our voice improvement, and I am sure it will surely help you in life. Thank You.

Voice Improvement

 ARTICULATION /PRONUNCIATION

 VOCAL VOLUME LEVEL

 VOICE PROJECTION

 THE WAY YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF1. ARTICULATION/PRONUNCIATION

There is a difference between not being heard (being inaudible) and not being understood (being unintelligible). Sometimes people confuse the two. Unintelligibility may be caused by problems with articulation and pronunciation. People with poor articulation can sound throaty because their tongue is pulled too far back, or they may sound muffled because they don't move their tongue enough when they speak. Both problems affect our ability to be understood. Make sure your tongue is positioned toward the front of your mouth and that you use your tongue to clearly enunciate your words.
CONTROLLING VOCAL VOLUME

Imagine that your voice has a volume knob with five settings:

1-WHISPER

2-SOFT

3-CONVERSATIONAL

4-LOUD

5-YELL
Do not use volume levels 1 or 5. Both can strain the voice. Yell only in an emergency and save your whispers for the library, theatre or bedroom.

Strive to speak most of the time at volume level 3. Use levels 2 and 4 for color, emphasis and variety. A conversational level will differ with each situation. While presenting a night programmed of soft nature your voice should be little towards whispering because the listener may not like a loud voice when he is in his bedroom and looking for peace. You could be little louder when presenting a programmed of pop music.

3. PROJECTING THE VOICE

Volume level should not be confused with projection. To project the voice, don't try to yell or force it out of your body. This causes strain. To have a voice that carries well, you must use your body's natural resonators. Your body has three resonating cavities: the voice box, the mouth and the nose. The voice is produced at the vocal chords and then amplified in the facial mask around the lips and nose. To have a beautiful voice and project it without strain, you must focus your voice in the facial mask, blending the oral and nasal resonators. The simplest way to find your facial mask is to hum. Try it now. HMMMMMMMM. Good. Now practice alternating humming and speaking. HMMMMMMy name is Shyamal. HMMMMMy favorite color is blue. HMMMMany people say I'm a great dancer... etc. Have fun with it. Practice humming and speaking throughout the day. Once you get the hang of what a resonant voice feels like, you can drop the hum and feel the vibration of your words in your facial mask.
For good voice projection, try the following:

Ø Speak with authority.

 Understand the causes of difficulty with and implications of unhealthy voice production.

 Discover how relaxation, breathing and vocal
exercises can improve projection, clarity and reduce vocal strain.

 Practice techniques to prevent and cure any vocal strain or lack of projection and clarity.

 Look at the effects of posture and tension on vocal projection

 Take part in voice and articulation exercises.

Understand resonance placement and the effect this has on projection, clarity and range.

4. THE WAY YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF

There is often a strong psychological component to communication difficulties. Soft speakers may unconsciously be trying to hold themselves back, inhibit their self-expression, or stifle themselves, and these factors should be explored.

You can improve, once you explore your weaknesses.

How to nurture a good and healthy voice?

- Breathe properly.

- Breathe through your nose, rather than mouth.

- Beware of your posture. Keep your upper chest, shoulders, neck and throat relaxed when breathing in or when exhaling and letting sound out.

- Speak slowly.
- Instead of focusing on your throat, imagine that the sound originates from your abdomen/lower back.

- Relax your jaw and tongue and unclench your teeth.

- Stay within your comfortable vocal range.

- Vary the tone/pitch of your voice.

- Use your breath to power your speech.
- avoid vocally-harmful habits (e.g. clearing your throat, holding your breath, speaking quickly, speaking with insufficient breath). Sometimes you clear your throat because you are dehydrated. Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. It will also help you to maintain right viscosity of the mucous in your mouth passage.

- Instead of clearing your throat in a harsh manner, sigh as an alternative measure.What to do before going on Air?

-Always warm up your throat just as an athlete warms up his/her muscles to prevent injury.

-To loosen your body, rotate your neck slowly and stretch your torso and limbs.

-To loosen the jaw, yawn and/or make chewing motions. Massage your face, especially the nexus of muscles at the hinge of your jaw.

-To limber up your lips, jaw and soft palate, say tongue twisters/the alphabet/any short text, making sure that you articulate very carefully.

-Take a few quiet moments to focus on your breathing as well as to collect your thoughts before you speak.
Now some tips about the life style:

- Avoid drinking alcohol and caffeinated beverages.

- Avoid late night parties as it could spoil your voice quality and concentration both.

- Massage under your chin to increase the flow of saliva.

- To clear excess mucus and lubricate the vocal tract, use steam inhalations

- Avoid speaking when you are tired or ill.

- Avoid speaking when you feel that your voice is strained

-Arrange for some quiet periods at least once a day.

- Seek medical attention immediately if you experience vocal strain.

- When suffering from a sore throat, try not to use anesthetic sprays/lozenges if possible.

- When you have laryngitis, inhale steam to soothe and relax the larynx instead of drinking cough mixtures.

- Eat a balanced diet to achieve/maintain optimal health.

- Dairy products may increase phlegm.

- To prevent heartburn and a reflux of stomach acids into your vocal passage, avoid acidic/spicy foods, eating late at night, caffeine and overeating.

- Give up smoking. Smoke and other aerial pollutants irritate your breathing and vocal apparatus. There are also other well-known health risks associated with smoking that can be reduced if you do not smoke/breathe in second-hand smoke.

- Certain medications may dehydrate the body/vocal passage. Others may stimulate or sedate the body, respectively causing your vocal passages to constrict or making you feel lethargic.

- To compensate the drying effect of any medication, drink extra water. Language is a gold mine which makes a big Change. Dig deep into it, build your vocabulary and dive for unlimited treasure which has remained there untapped for a long time. Rediscover yourself with your own Speech.

Ø Speak from the depth of your heart, speak your mind and feel your nerves pulsating the sound of your voice.

Ø Electrify the listener with your presentation. Don’t let butterflies quiver you and chase away the nervousness.

Ø Visualize your listener as an individual not as a mass of people.

Ø Visualize the listener at dinner table. It works great to create a feeling of intimacy and trust.

Ø Your tone of voice is closely linked to your face expressions. A frown on your face will make your voice sound harsh and cold but a smile will warm up your voice, making it sound warm and inviting. A smile with the speech takes you to miles.

Ø Every Word has a meaning. Work on building your vocabulary.

Ø Avoid beating around the bush. Say clear, be brief and do not fumble. Confusion lands you and the listener into more confusion. Do not bluff or fool yourself but blur out sensibly even if words are not meant to be spoken. Use tact, speak truth but know realities too and act sensibly to it. Convince your listener.

Ø Cultivate a positive attitude. Be positive, prepared and well aware. Work on memory improvement levels. Get mirror practice and check your expressions too.
Ø Adjust the Bass, volume of your voice like the sound system. Start with soft notes. Good beginning is best otherwise it’s shrieking from the start. Feel humor, feel happy, calm and composed.

Ø Expressions reflect your inner feelings and your speech is based on your thoughts. Let your speech and expression be your asset. Your voice can have a profound impact on how successfully you influence and persuade others. Your voice effects how seriously you are taken… how respected you are… the results you get not only with the listeners but also with co-workers, friends and family members in your personal life.

Hope these tips will help to improve vocal power.

Wish you all a very happy new year 2010 !!!
