प्रेम

एक रोज पत्थर पे
परीकथाएं रख में
छन्न से तोड़ दूंगा सारी.
बारूद रख दूंगा प्रेम की कविताओं में
और जबरदस्ती सोहनी-महिवाल, लैला-मजनूँ के ब्याह करा दूंगा.

फिर देखता हूँ
कैसे अमर होती है कोई प्रेम-कथा,
कैसे बचता है प्रेम.

मुझे 'हैप्पिली लिविंग आफ्टर...'
का सच भी कोई बताओ.
जिनमें सीताएं अग्नि परीक्षाएं देती हैं, राम शासक होते हैं,
जिनमें कृष्णा को रुक्मणी सौलह हज़ार औरतों के संग बांटती हैं.
जिनमें एक बड़ी सी गाड़ी का औरत छोटा पहिया होती है,
जिससे गाड़ी तो चलती है लेकिन औरत की मर्जी जाने बिना ही.

प्रेम एक ढकोलसे से ज्यादा कुछ भी नहीं.
प्रेम बिछोह से सास्वत होता है,
प्रेम साथ होता है तो
वहां प्रेम के अलावा सबकुछ होता है.

Nobel Prize | Medicine

Awarded Nobel Prize winners have contributed revolutionarily in developing drugs to fight malaria and other tropical diseases that are river blindness and Lymphatic filariasis. With the rising cases of death due to these diseases across the world these drugs is acting positively to contain them.

Significance of these discoveries:

1. Malaria:
it is a mosquito-borne disease that erupts mainly in developing countries which has affected specifically the poor. It is being estimated that malaria still kills around 500,000 people a year, mostly in Africa, despite efforts to control it. Newly created drug will be trying to provide early response and will also immunise person from further threats.

2. River blindness:
with the redesigned extraction process of drug it has huge potential to reduce cases of river blindness.

3. Lymphatic filariasis:
which lead to swelling of the limbs and genitals, called elephantiasis, and it’s primarily a threat in Africa and Asia. Since the newly developed drug is cheaper it will primarily reduce cases where huge cost on treatment is impossible for the people.

Hence these discoveries have provided powerful new means to combat these debilitating diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people annually.
