GARDENING
Gardening is one of the hardest thing. The most important thing is ‘how to develop a garden?’ Gardening should be continued throughout our life time. There is a saying , ”Wealth was measured by the amount of lawn one had and how short it was manicured”. Everyone should start gardening in front of house with full satisfaction, and one need not plant the same kind of plants. They shall be changed according to their needs. If they want shade around their house, they shall pick the fast growing trees and plant near their house. Gardens are supposed to be disinfected. Pesticide in large measured quantity is the answer. A wild plant field is something you could see while driving through the rural area, not something you would consider for your front work area. And someone like telling that the long grass in their work area was beautiful and attractive. A group of supporters help me to make an attractive garden.
Winter is most favourite time to be in gardens. Most the people sit back and enjoy the time in their garden and children too enjoy a lot, playing in the garden. Likely, every day we spend our time in garden. Every year I am respectful to the plants, by producing flowers and buds with odour. While I was aware of birds in my gardens, the freer her garden is of these pests, and the flowering and richer her plants look precious. As a human I know that once a flower or plant dies, it will be removed promptly from the garden, at least it should detract from a garden’s healthy appearance. The dead flowers and the seeds they contain should be left for the birds to pick and eat on. The Native birds protect the native plants from hungry insects spring, summer and fall, and in return, the seeds of the native plants feed the native birds in the later fall and early winter.
There are many thing in gardening .we can grow kitchen needs, vegetation in our garden. Its easy to grow and to maintain garden it shows prosperity in our life, Like producing tomato and so on. Bring the world into our garden. General gardening make children and people to attract our blooming flower. Green greets all to accommodate our garden nature and make them to stay here for a long. To keep our plants healthy and productive, make sure they must be poured by water and good fertilizer by gardener. Remember wet in summer, dry in winter. Have to be aware of all those climate before starting a vegetation. Root should be in better condition and plenty of moisture should be supplied.

IPL 20:20
Fantastically stared, the DLFIPL had its third round in India. Owners have invested huge amount of money for their players from different states and countries. All are good but the way in which they take the match was very bad. Players are thinking that their own winning must be there rather than the team work, because they all are money minded. In India hockey is a national game, but this much importance for cricket alone. There are lots of states where electricity is a major problem, but for IPL the matches are mostly conducted during night where units and units of electricity are wasted. Even though they are making many good things like educating children, offering employment to many peoples, they are deviating children minds by conducting IPL during the most important part of their life- during their exam times. Because today’s children were interested to watch cricket up to midnight. It will be better if they change their schedule to some other month. Owners are investing huge money for this match. How they got this much of money? Government should question them about their source. If some other people watch IPL means they won’t think that Indian people are suffering from drought.
Especially for the ending ceremony many stars came, the inauguration was very spectaculars. But why this much light settings for this match alone. I think no other national level game has this much importance. There was no wrong in games like this. Why the importance for this alone? All should think of it.

TENSION HEADACHES-THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM

Tension headaches are the most frequently occurring type of headache, their cause is not known. The most likely cause is contraction of the muscles that cover the skull. When the muscles covering the skull are stressed, they may spasm and cause pain. Common sites include the base of the skull where the trapezius muscles of the neck inserts, the temple where muscles that assist the jaw to move are located, and the forehead.
There is little research to confirm the exact cause of tension headaches. Tension headaches occur because of physical or emotional stress placed on the body. Physical stress that may cause tension headaches include difficult and prolonged manual labor, or sitting at a desk or computer for long periods of time Emotional stress may also cause tension headaches by causing the muscles surrounding the skull to contract.

Symptoms:
A pain that begins in the back of the head and upper neck as a band-like tightness or pressure.
The pain is usually mild and bilateral.
Not associated with nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light and sound.
Usually occur sporadically but can occur frequently and even daily in some people.
Most people are able to function despite their tension headaches

Diagnosis:
The key to making the diagnosis of any headache is the history given by the patient. The health care practitioner will ask the appropriate questions to understand when the headache began, learn about the quality, quantity, and duration of the pain, and ask about any associated symptoms. The history of tension headache will include pain that is mild to moderate, located on both sides of the head, described as a tightness that is not throbbing, and not made worse with activity. There will be no associated symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or light sensitivity. The physical examination is important in tension headaches because it has to be normal to make the diagnosis. The only exception is that there may be some tenderness of the scalp or neck muscles. If the health care practitioner finds an abnormality, then the diagnosis of tension headache would not be considered.

Treatment:
Most people successfully treat themselves with over-the–counter (OTC) pain medications to control tension headaches. The following work well for most people:
aspirin,
ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil),
acetaminophen (Tylenol) and
naproxen (Aleve)
If these fail, other supportive treatments are available. Recurrent headaches should be a signal to seek medical help. Massage, biofeedback, and stress management can all be used as adjuncts to help with headache control.
It is important to remember that OTC medications, while safe, are medications and may have side effects and potential interactions with prescription medications. It is always wise to ask your health care practitioner or pharmacist if you have questions about OTC medications and their use. This is especially important with OTC pain medications, because patients use them so frequently.
It is important to read the ingredient listing of OTC pain medications. Often an OTC medication is a combination of ingredients, and the second or third ingredient may have the potential for drug interaction or contraindication with medications the patient is currently taking.

For example:
Some OTC medications include caffeine, which may trigger rapid heartbeats in some patients.
In night time preparations, diphenhydramine (Benadryl) may be added. This may cause drowsiness and driving or using heavy machinery may not be appropriate when taking the medication.

Other examples were caution should be used include the following:
Aspirin should not be used in children and teenagers because of the risk of Reye's Syndrome, a disease where coma, brain damage, and death can occur with a viral like illness and aspirin use.
Aspirin and ibuprofen are irritating to the stomach and may cause bleeding. They should be used with caution in patients who have peptic ulcer disease or who take blood thinners like warfarin (Coumadin) and clopidogrel bisulfate (Plavix).
Acetaminophen, if used in large amounts, can cause liver damage or failure. It should be used with caution in patients who drink significant amounts of alcohol or who have liver disease.

INDIA 2020
“India- A land of resources, culture, heritage, love, and care.”
This is not the state of our country now. This was the condition a century ago. What has made us lose our strength? How is India now? Will India be a well developed super power by 2020 as Dr.Abdul Kalam and many others aspire?
Though India has still got various resources, there are several factors that are keeping us away from attaining development. There are wide ranges of differences among the financial status of the people of India. A few factors influencing these are discussed here.
POPULATION:
India has a huge population. People consider this to be a ban for our development. When many wizards are involved in a project the result turns awesome. Similarly if the entire population is used in a positive way, we shall achieve a lot. There are quite a lot of variations among the people of India. They are varied in terms of economy, education, culture and mind set. The society has people of all kind– rich and poor, literate and illiterate, responsible and irresponsible, genuine and guilty and so on. The country would prosper if people grow the first attitude of every pair mentioned.
POLITICS:
A nation is said to have good politics if both the ruling party and the opposition parties have the combined motive of working for the betterment of the nation. But the present political situation is in an atrocious condition. The opposition parties are always looking to take over the throne and are wasting time in pointing out the mistakes of the ruling party, whereas the ruling party is misusing the power. If the Government becomes keen about improving the nation, there are possibilities for a change to happen out. Not all politicians are bad, but the majorities are trying to drain out the country’s wealth. A revolution must occur to strain out the present politics.


EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT:
The education system in India has no flaws in it. Almost the entire urban crowd is educated. The problem lies with the people from the rural background. It’s important to make them beware the significance of education. Each and every Indian child has to be educated. Every single graduate must have a job. If this is done the toughest part of our country’s problem will be solved.
The rural people must be educated about hygiene, various government schemes, basic rights and the various diseases, importance of education, ill effects of child labor and so on. Another remarkable back drop of our country is cleanliness, hygiene and sanitation. People have to be educated about these and the Government has to take steps to maintain the cleanliness of the public places and common areas.
The youngsters, specially the college students can do much towards the welfare and development of the nation. They can form teams and work together with a view to educate the rural people. Educating people is a great deal and it requires lot of patience and passion .The young minds can achieve anything by working with a spirit and untiring efforts. This fire in every individual should kindle many others to join them in their activities. Consequently, we shall develop a well matured population and the rural crowds will no more be considered so.
The youngsters should also realize the richness of our culture and heritage and promote and respect them.
CONCLUSION:
By bringing in the above mentioned and other necessary changes, we shall form a super power nation by 2020 in terms of technology, finance, exports, education, hygiene, culture, traditions and integrity.

It presently includes 8 teams (franchises) consisting of players from different countries. It was started after altercation between the BCCI and the Indian Cricket League. IPL contains 8 teams initially started but now 2 teams going to be joined on fourth season IPL. The 8 teams are Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Mumbai Indians (MI), Delhi Daredevils(DD), Rajasthan Royals(RR), Royal Challenger Bangalore (RCB), Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), Deccan Charger (DC). For 2011 IPL fourth season the two teams going to be introduced are Kochi and Pune. In IPL player are selected for particular based on bid. The team which bid more for particular player can take that player. There should only four foreign players and remaining should be Indian players during the match. For the first season of IPL, Rajasthan Royals won the final match against Chennai Super Kings and got the first IPL cup. The final match was very crucial but we were unable to predicate the match who won the match. Similarly Second season of IPL, Deccan Chargers won the match Royal Challenger Bangalore but third season of IPL final match is going to held in Mumbai between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. Chennai Super Kings made history of IPL by third time entered into semi-final and second time entered into final match. IPL made a good entertainment for audience. In IPL T20 match, audience enjoy the matches when their supporting getting the wicket or hitting sixes or fours. Basically Twenty-20 match is batsmen game. Each and every player should be hitter to win the match. But now-a-days IPL matches not give enjoyment to audience and also good play of money. IPL turns the black money to white money. The total amount spending in the name of IPL is huge. If that amount is divided, we can give 2.35 lakhs to each family living in the India. IPL fourth Season creates more problem because of two teams. One team cost is equal to first eight teams. The total two team cost is around 1500 Crores. “How that much of currency is circulating in the IPL?” this is the question arise in every mind. So IT (Income Tax) department enquiry is going there on the IPL. They asked the IPL Commissioner Mr. Lalit Modi to submit the report on IPL from first season to till the end of this current season. Will this IPL continue in future is big question? There is no answer for this question because some political leader wants to ban the IPL. IPL is the second highest-paid league in the world. IPL is followed by NBA, which is first leading highest-paid league. IPL also create one more problem is that Pakistan players are not allowed to play in that series.
