device. Made out
of disposable and
ecofriendly material, it
is easily portable and
helps women to urinate
discreetly and tidily in
the standing position.
It is the ultimate
answer to the bane
of the working and
traveling woman.
“Unhygienic and dirty
toilets are the order
of the day and cause
much frustration
among women. This
invariably demands
that they hold back
and wait till they
are in the comfort
of their own homes.
Holding back of urine
is known to cause
multiple medical
complications. Go Girl
Go is the solution to
these problems as it
takes away the stress
of having to come into
contact with dirty
toilet seats,” said
Krithika Bala, Head –
Cheerleader of Go Girl
Go.
It also offers a unique
solution to women who
have difficulty sitting
or squatting due to
pregnancy, surgery, or
othermedicalconditions
like arthritis. Go Girl Go
has also made the task
of peeing into small
cup or bag for medical
tests much easier.
Go Girl Go could well
form a part of essential
supplies in hospitals
and clinics. Go Girl Go
can be carried discreetly
because it is petite
and compact. As it is
pocket sized, it can fit
snugly into a handbag
or purse. Go Girl Go
is currently available
online at Rs.80 per pack
containing 5 pieces.

On Friday 4th
September 2015, at
3.30 PM S. Sruuthi’s
PSBB School Music
Teachers Padmashri
& Ammu Madam,
had called Father of
S. Sruuthi on his cell
phone and asked S.
Sruuthi to be taken
straight to Prasad
Studios for Music
Maestro Ilayaraja’s
song recording by 4
PM.
Little did we least
imagine that S. Sruuthi
would be asked to sing
a full length Children’s
song that too in an
un-known “Kannada
Language” although
she had sung songs like
“Baghiyadha lakshmi
bhaarama” in Kannada
and several songs of
Saint Thyagarajar
A n n a m a c h a r y a r ’ s
krithis in Telugu,
Marati Bajans and
in other languages.
The Director had
explained the meaning
of Bhombay mean Toy,
Jinkue mean breeze,
etc.
As the song rehearsals
for 2 songs were going
on right under the
nose of Ilayaraja ,
the Director of this
film titled “RAJU’S
MEDAL” asked the S.
SHIVPPRASADH and
his wife Rama after
coming to know that
we are S. Sruuthi’s
parents as to whether
we would permit her to
act the main role in that
children Film. When
asked about the film
subject the director Ms.
NANDITHA said it was
a pure children’s film
aimed at “eradicating
child marriage”.
Striking memories
came flashing to me
“As based on a detailed
interview published
in The Hindu by the
then Editor-in-Chief of
The Hindu Mr. N. Ram
with the then Hon’ble
president of India Smt.
Prathiba Devi Singh
Patel” on various social
evils ‘Eradication of
Child Marriage’ was
topping as one among
them and the slogan
coined and highlighted
by The then President
was “One Child
Marriage has ten Ill
effects”.
Based on The Hindu’s
publication S. Sruuthi
started propagating
on the Evils of Child
MarriagethroughFancy
dress that enabled
her to have a personal
meeting with the Then
Hon’ble President on
21.03.2009 at VIP
Ceremonial lounge of
Madras Old Airport.
Director Ms. Nanditha
who had done a
photo shoot of S.
Sruuthi in nativity
costume and made
her act with Kannada
dialogues delivery was
fully impressed and
approved to cast her
in this film as a victim
of child marriage but
parents yet to decide
as her drama date
on 01.10.2015 seem
to clash with her
film shooting dates.
However they have
promised to adjust the
same and if done so
she will be fruitfully
using her holidays from
19.09.2015 to shoot for
the film at Thirthahalli
near Shimoga where
‘Malgudi Days’ were
shot along with artists
like Prakashraj, etc
from 24.09.2015 with
a gap of 3 days for her
drama rehearsals.

W

saves lives,
s o m e t i m e s
unsafe blood
transfusion can lead
to serious diseases
too! With the increase
in TTI’s (Transfusion
T r a n s m i t t e d
Infections), ensuring
safe blood transfusion
has become of utmost
importance for the
medical fraternity.
Working towards
its commitment of
keeping patients safety
on priority, SIMS
Hospital, Chennai
has introduced ID-
NAT (Individual
Donor Nucleic Acid
Test) for screening of
blood. The ID-NAT
Lab was inaugurated
on 9th September by
Dr Sridhar, Pro Vice
Chancellor of SRM
University; which was
followed by a Seminar
on Transfusion
Transmitted Infection.
Dr Anand Deshpande
from P.D Hinduja
Hospital, Mumbai, Dr
Nidhi Mehta from KDA
Hospital, Mumbai and
Dr Ram Prabhakar
from SIMS Hospital,
Chennai spoke on
the importance of Safe
blood transfusion as
well as role of ID-NAT in
reducing TTI instances.
ID-NAT is the
next generation
advancement in blood
safety. It detects HIV,
HBVandHCVinfections
in blood at a very early
stage compared to
conventional tests like
ELISA. While, ELISA
will take up to 90 days
to detect the viruses,
ID-NAT can do so in as
low as 2 days.
Due to early
detection, ID-NAT
helps in reducing
risk of transfusion
through infected blood
significantly.
Risk of TTI’s increases
even more for patients
requiring regular
blood transfusions:
like Thalassemia,
Sickle cell anaemia or
Cancer patients.One
unit of blood can be
given to 3 persons in
components, and if the
blood is contaminated
it can risk 3 lives at
once. Countries like
US, France, Japan,
Singapore, Australia
have made NAT
mandatory for blood
screening. With the
increasing numbers
of TTI’s there is an
urgent requirement
on making ID-NAT a
mandate and hospitals
like SIMS Hospital
have taken a much
required step towards
the direction of blood
safety.

What are the
symptoms?
• Frequent urination
• Slow stream
• Straining to void
• Inability to control

• USG-To detect size
of the prostate
• Uroflowmetry - to
assess flow of urine
Treatment:
• Medications to ease
the flow of urine

• E n d o s c o p i c
surgeries through
the urinary passage

laser prostatic
surgeries

ART OF LIVING
WORKSHOPS FOR PARENTSSpace Kidz India had
launched a “Neare
Space Vehicle’ for the
1st time in India by a
private organization on
Aug. 23 to read the Air
Quality, Altitude, Gases
around near Space
etc at the campus of
Hindustan University,
Padur.
Dr. Srimathy Kesan the
Director, Space Kidz
India said that this was
a dream last 2years
when it all started with
the competition that
SKI conducts year on
year for High School
students - The Young
Scientist India, one of
the participant Rifath
Sharook, harped on
an idea of a sending
a student Sattellite in
space.
Rifath is from a small
town, Pallampatti
close to Dindigul.
Though this idea
was not appreciated
by many, Rifath and
Dr.Srimathy Kesan
kept talking about
this for 2years,
approached many
research institutions
for support, but, was
brushed away by them
as a fancy idea and not
a workable model, but,
the twp determined to
realize this dream by
tweaking the model
and sending a vehicle
if not to Space at least
close to Space and
started to work on the
vehicle to be used.
Educators at NASA,
and Prof'z at the
University of Central
Florida also helped
tweaking and put all
this together.
A balloon of 1200g size
was finalized, Helium
gas as the fuel, attached
to a Parachute and a
Payload box with 10
sensors was designed,
fixed and ready to
launch on the 23rd
August at 11:00Hrs.
Anand Jacob Verghese,
a visionary, PRO
Chancellor, of the
Hindustan University,
appreciated the concept
and jumped to support
us for this mission.
The nine students from
Hindustan University
joined the mission
as Crew members
Yagna Sai, Vinay,
Tanishq, Vinyas, Nitin,
Debanjana, Mohammed
Kaasif, Ranga Says, Sai
Dharshan, along with

Ministry were sorted.
On the 23rd August
2015, finally the
mission took off, the
vehicle beautifully
travelled Near Space
and the Balloon busted
at a high altitude after
which the parachute
brought down the
Payload box with
sensors. The payload
box landed in a Field
at Kuthunur, near
Kanchipuram. The
retrieval team of
students went to that
place and brought
back the box. The data
has been collected and
shall be put up on
different medium for
students to see and
study. This is the 1st
of itz kind launch in
India.A perfect tribute
to the great Scientist S.
APJ Abdul Kalam.

Simple breathing,
sound relaxation, and
meditation techniques
are taught to relax
the individual. These
techniques teach
people how to handle
negative emotions
such as anger, regret
and depression which
when being unable
to handle could lead
to substance abuse
etc... By dealing with
these emotions, there
is a sense of peace
and relaxation. What
follows is mental
clarity, confidence and
focus to find solutions
for challenges and
in return they reflect
love and a sense of
belongingness towards
handling children.
