The Ultimatum

There will be a time in your final year of study where u will have to take probably the

most vital decision of your life. The question in front of you is. What to do after

B.E?????

This column will help you assess the situation and help you get what you want and will

act as an anchor to guide you through the tough decisions ahead.

In your 3rd year you will be hearing a lot of these 3 terms M.B.A, M.E, M.S.

You may not know anything about it right now but eventually you will end up doing any

one of these courses, unless your dad has a thriving business of his own.

Now in this edition let us talk about M.S and M.E. as these are the two courses

concerned and related more to our current burden B.E.

M.E and M.S is an excellent option for students who are really interested in engineering

and are strong with the basics and who really like the subjects and the practical uses

associated with it.

For students who have figured out that engineering is not their cup of tea, but feel that

they are good in managing people and have good communication skills M.B.A is a safer

bet. The more quickly you realize your interests and strengths the better it will be for you

to shape up your future.

And there is the option of going for a job. In your first two semesters and also in your

12th syllabus you would have been bombarded with terms such as C, C++, JAVA.

“Welcome to the world of COMPUTER SCIENCE and INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY”.

Programming is similar to maths, unless you understand it thoroughly it will be boring

and painful, But if you are one of the few students who have taken a liking for it, then

good for you. I.T companies constitute about 85% of all campus recruitments in many

colleges.

If you really have a knack for programming, software’s, android apps then it would be

very helpful for you if you take classes for these things and have a course completion

certificate from any reputed computer classes.

The decision of joining B.E may not be yours (Parent’s) or it might have been an

impulsive one or something done due to peer pressure and following the trend. But

there is no use crying over spilt milk, you can still do what you always wanted to do. You

need to keep a calm head finish off with B.E, try to clear all your papers and get a

decent score because your CGPA is going to play a vital role in deciding what kind of

institute you do your P.G(Post Graduate).

Every month in this column all the available options will be evaluated and a detailed analysis will be given on what to do and how to approach. The next edition will be about M.E(Master of Engineering), M.S(Master of science) and the related tests and preparations to be done

Life Style Diseases On The Rise

Optimal health is a journey taken one step one habit and one date at a time. Life

style diseases appear to be more wide spread as our country has become more

industrialized. It is caused partly by controllable risk factors such as diet, body weight,

daily level of physical activities, level of sun exposure, smoking and alcohol abuse and

uncontrollable risk factors such as age, gender, ethnicity and heredity. Today, our

nation has to deal with a new breed of developed world obesity fuelled diseases like

diabetes, cardiovascular ailments.

Changes in Lifestyle:

1. Over 50 years, the food patterns has changed considerably and changed

our diet by the use of lots of processed foods, foods with saturated fats,

foods with sugar content, less fruits and vegetables.

2. Decreased physical activity of humans as machines pay the place of that

leading to less use of energy causing diabetes, obesity, hypertension, etc.

3. Continuous and long time work without breaks usually related to people

working in financial sector, IT profession can develop spinal problems,

chronic back ache, mental illness-depression etc.

4. Exposure to same environment without physical, mental rest brings about

malignancy of parts exposed, occupational diseases.

5. Use of junk foods, packed foods,exposures tonon-ionizing radiation -

microwaves, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared radiation, radio waves,

radar waves, mobile phone signals and wireless internet connections for

long periods lead to development of cancer, sleep disorders and

nutritional deficiency.

Path to a longer healthier life:

“A journey of thousand miles begins by a single step”

1. Make a decision to be healthy

2. Stay physically active

a. Stretch a little for atleast 10-15 mintes in the morning

b. Practice Yoga/any exercise equivalent for 15-20 minutes focusing on

mindfull stretching and breathing

c. Make use of staircase, skip use of vehicles and opt to walk during work

breaks.

3. Choose a healthy diet

a. Eat a healthy breakfast, never skip it.

15

b. High fiber, whole grains, functional foods and dietary supplements are a

must for healthful living

c. Add colorful fruits and vegetables in dietary plates.

d. Hydrate adequately and avoid carbonated drinks.

e. Cut excess intake of meat, salt, sugars, spicy and junk foods

4. Maintain a healthy body weight. Know it by computing,BMI = weight in kgs /

height2 in meters. (categories: Underweight <18.5, Normalweight 18.5 – 24.9,

Overweight 25 – 29.9, Obesity >30)

5. Manage stress effectively. Stress busters keep lifestyle diseases at bay.

6. Quit smoking, tobacco, drug use and limit alcohol consumption.

7. Refresh with regular sleep and leisure.

8. Use non-dominant hand, thereby building muscle force and utilize brain in a more

significant way.

9. Get periodical check-ups.

10. Go ecofriendly.

11. Limit exposures tonon-ionizing radiations.

12. Meditate, pray for a healthful living and green world.

Lifestyle diseases are one’s own creation. The only remedy lies in our hand by

controlling our senses, freshen our mind and make life happy in the long run.
