Individual preparedness against pandemic Swine Flu in Bangalore; A critical approach

[NucleusFermi]

I have been reading a lot, specially in local news papers of Bangalore that people in general are gearing themselves up for the menace of Swine flu by trying enhancing their immunity with alternative medicinal practices like Ayurveda and the life style's modifications, such as Yoga, which are the integral part of our Hindu culture. Simultaneously, I subscribe to the valid view of improving upon the infra structure of health and ambiance around ourselves, which comprises of basic municipal tasks of cleaning and managing the community-space.
Individual efforts of people suggest the level of consciousness and the urban level of literacy but I must be happier when see the change in the mindset of people, belonging to expand their horizon of thinking from constricting themselves to themselves to the broad view of society as an absolute entity in front of us. This will accelerate the pace of community based affirmation, particularly on the side of cleanliness of public places, habits that fuel that, purity maintenance for resources and ensuring their renewal with proper quality and sufficient quantity.
Being a newbie in this City, I observe people being largely pathetic with cleanliness, with a few facilities available for public domain for the sake of social management of sanitation.
Using the knowledge of ancient practices and the facts will empower the modern society to benefit themselves for the better. Yoga must be a routine practice for not only the Hindus but also for everyone, who wishes to be healthy and be useful for the society rather than being a burden on it. All the best to everyone for fighting against this threatening viral disease, long live the Mankind.
