<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>4. Boosts communication : Crying can show what words cannot express, especially in a relationship. It happens most times when you shouting or really upset you just cannot put the depth of your feelings in words and end up crying. </i></span></div>

Don't cringe from expressing your emotions through a tear or two. Now that medical field is advancing and educating people that mental health is as important and precious as physical health, we should break the social barriers where crying is ridiculed, where men (in some cases women) are humiliated for crying and show sympathy to those who don't cry. With the dawn of therapy and heavily prescribed feel good medications, we should all be more appreciative of our biological ability to cry and take full advantage of the natural anxiety - reliever it is. </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Why??!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Murphy's law states : <b>"If anything can go wrong, it will"</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Remember the time you stood in line for more than an hour and observe that the other queue is moving faster than yours. The moment you change your lane, the line you were standing moves faster. Yeah this is the classic example of Murphy's law. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Made me wonder. Who was this Murphy ?? and how did this law came to be about??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Origin of Murphy's law:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Murphy's law was born at Edwards Air force base in <b>1949 </b>at North base. It was named after <b>Captain Edward A. Murphy</b>, an engineering working on Air force project MX981 (a project) designed to see how much sudden deceleration a person can stand in a crash.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One day, after finding that a transducer was wired wrong, he cursed the technician responsible and said, <b>"if there is any way to do it wrong, he'll find it."</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The contractor's project manager kept a list of "laws" and added this one, which he called Murphy's law.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Actually what he did was take an old law that had been around for years in a more basic form and give it a name.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Shortly afterwards, the Air Force doctor (Dr.John paul stapp) who rode a sled on the deceleration track to a stop, pulling 40 Gs, gave a press conference. He said that their good safety record on the project was due to a firm belief in Murphy's law and in the necessity to try and avoid it. Aerospace manufactures picked it up and used it widely in their ads during the next few months, and soon it was being quoted in many news and magazine articles. Murphy's law was born.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Even though this theory is famous in the name of Murphy's law, the original name for "if anything can go wrong it will" was <b>sod's law </b>because it would happen to any poor sod who needed such a catastrophic event the least. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Murphy's law has been interpreted in many ways and in many subjects, Even though it was coined to be more vigilant and positive towards doing something. But it is frequently used to explain that the situation is outside the hand because Murphy's law was working.</span></div>

It has been compared to filing cabinet, post its and even a book. I just wish it was that simple. But it has been found that memory is not stored in any one place in our brain. <b>It is a brain wide process to remember something. </b></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To properly encode or store a memory, you must first be paying attention. Since you cannot pay attention to everything all the time, most of what you encounter every day is simply filtered out. This is the reason you might remember birthday of a long lost friend but forget what you had for breakfast in the morning. If you stored every single thing that you noticed, <b>your memory would be full before you even left the house in the morning. </b></span></span></div>

This is called<b> infantile amnesia</b> and Researchers have attributed it to the child's lack of self perception, language or other mental equipment required to encode memories. Also hippocampus and pre-frontal cortex which are essential to store memories are underdeveloped. It is also argued that rapid growth of new neurons in young brain blocks access to old memories and in particular as new neurons integrate they remodel hippocampus circuits, and the remodeling may lead to degradation of information stored in these circuits. So even though sensations are stored it is blocked from access by new neural pathways.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Once a memory is created, it must be stored (no matter how briefly). Brain stores first in sensory stage, then in short term memory and ultimately for some memories in long term memory. The more the information is repeated or used, the more it will be stored in long term memory. People tend to more easily store material on subjects that they already know something about, since the information that is already stored in their long term memory. </span></span></div>

When you meet people for the first time, you have little to no context about them outside that brief introduction, so their names typically go in one ear and out the other. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>Loving somebody is maybe the most easiest of acts. There is no set rule to fall in love or raise up in love (whichever is your preference). You can like a person on first sight or gradually come to love them. You may love them because they are such an integral part of your life or because they make your yearn for something out of it. You may love them just because you are supposed to or because they were there at the right time. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>But its the letting go part that hurts so much. The very thought that we have to move on makes your heart cringe. Whenever I feel someone is trying to move away from me, I double up my efforts on keeping them close. Am sure most of you do that. It takes some time for me to breathe deep and tell myself, its ok. Its ok to let go from your side. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>If they are letting go of their end of the rope, then no matter how hard or fast you hold you can't pull them close again. It makes me think of all the reasons why would they want to leave me. It takes time to know that it doesn't matter what the reason is.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>Later one day down the lane, you wake up to realize that you did move on. And no matter how hard you just cant remember the most intricate parts of their touch, voice or smile. Sometimes that hurts more, that we forgot the person so easily, whom we loved so fiercely. All that remains is ghost of their memories which doesn't even stir your heart.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>But that's how we work. We lose the memory of non-recharged sensations. What is left are memories like long forgotten photographs of an age old album.</i></span></div>

Many people try to disguise this gesture by a fake cough, but the meaning remains the same that he is being dishonest. But, rather amusingly if he covers his mouth while you are speaking, it indicates that he thinks you are lying </i></span></div>

<i><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The thing we must do is not be content with mere political democracy. We must note that our political democracy can not last unless there lies at the base of it social democracy. What does social democracy mean? It means a way of life which recognizes liberty, equality and fraternity as the principles of life" - Dr.B.R.Ambedkar</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Every year we celebrate Independence Day and Republic Day as national holidays. Both are related to Indian Independence but still has a lot of difference between them. Independence Day is the Day India became Independent from the rule of British. Republic Day is the day when India was declared a sovereign, independent, self sustaining nation with its own government. </span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In my opinion Republic Day is more important if not equal to Independence Day. You might wonder (I had wondered as kid) there is a 3 year gap between our Independence Day and Republic Day Or what is the importance of Constitution, Did Dr. Ambedkar alone wrote the constitution??. I imagined him in a dim room surrounded by books and papers and writing on his own. </span></i></div>

It was called Constituent Assembly consisting of 385 members.

Interesting fact is among these 385 members 15 were women. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On a cold day, when am down, when my confidence is low, all I crave for is a hug. A warm, sweet, reassuring hug. Whether it is from my bestie, my mom, my darling son or my sweetheart hubby. Its awesome because it feels good and makes me smile.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSJOSzqLypeV-UAO6Y1NCiSIvUfnMgXAg5awlnv2pWuh9C01Yj9hbWyye446snwW2QuGZCtaDeToCMiRxYJeKZM3fYZcxXm7v-0Vgt5hDUwsJHEQf68DlyeMiDvJuJgL9fOa7ve61jEjY/s1600/need-a-hug-hand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSJOSzqLypeV-UAO6Y1NCiSIvUfnMgXAg5awlnv2pWuh9C01Yj9hbWyye446snwW2QuGZCtaDeToCMiRxYJeKZM3fYZcxXm7v-0Vgt5hDUwsJHEQf68DlyeMiDvJuJgL9fOa7ve61jEjY/s200/need-a-hug-hand.jpg" width="200" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Am sure even you crave for a hug. That one small gesture can make us feel warm, loved and secure. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And this is not just what we feel, because of the person we are hugging. It is awesome because it actually does something to our body. <b>Its a scientifically proven fact that hugs have healing capacity.</b> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Its much more than that warm feeling. It affects the entire body to such an extent that many scientists claim it is equal to the effect of many different drugs operating on the body at a time. Sometimes just a pat will also help people to move back from the emotional tipping point.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is known to <b>Reduce worry of mortality</b> - As unbelievable as it sounds but it is proven that hugging, even a teddy bear helps soothe a person's existential fears. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hugging stimulates oxytocin, Dopamine and Serotonin - <b>Oxytocin</b> A neurotransmitter that acts on brain's emotional center, promoting feelings of contentment, reducing anxiety and stress. Actually another interesting fact about this is, oxytocin is released during childbirth, making our mothers forget all about the pain of labour and still love us whole heartedly without hating us for putting her into so much pain. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Dopamine</b> keeps you from being depressed, it is responsible for feel-good feeling and motivation.. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While <b>Serotonin</b> makes you feeling significant and important. In short hugging makes you feel happy, smiling, bearable and important. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hugging lowers your heart rate - Means there is less chance of you getting High BP if you have somebody to hug.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Other than all this hugging <b>enhances your immune system and balances your nervous system</b>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Who thought there is so much science behind a simple hug. But wait - don't think this means you can just walk outside and start hugging everyone. Hugging doesn't work like that. All this positive effects will only happen if you are hugging people who trust and love you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It seems so easy to hug our loved ones but there are people who find it difficult to relate and connect with another human being. People who are Autistic have difficulties in social interactions and are sensitive to sensory stimulation of human touch. <b>Temple Grandin</b> invented a therapeutic, stress relieving device called "<b>Hug machine</b>" to provide sensory relief to them. It helps to calm them down without overwhelming their senses. It is also known that this machine works as a therapy for autistic kids to interact with humans without anxiety. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So whether you are embracing your partner or getting a warm hello hug from a dear friend or even from a hug machine, hugs have a way of making us feel warm and fuzzy inside. So whether it is a simple squeeze, a big bear hug or some cute cuddling - there are plenty of reasons why we should embrace the act of embracing someone. Whatever it does to our mind and body, you can't refute that hugging makes you feel good. So go on be generous in giving hugs to your loved ones. </span></div>
