If you are worried by the radiation emitted by cell phone towers around you, there is some good news. From September 1, this year, India will lower the level to one tenth of the prevailing standard from 9.2 w/m2 to 0.92 w/m2. The decision follows a report of the inter-ministerial committee formed by the Ministry of communications and Information Technology to study the hazards posed by e.m.f radiation from base stations and mobile phones. Sharma said lowering of the limit is a preventive step against serious health risks posed by radiation emitted from towers which includes the possibility of developing certain types of cancer. The cause and effect relationship though hasn't been established yet. The department of telecommunications has also issued directions for reducing the specific absorption rate, a measure of the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body while using a phone

As concern about radiation from phones and base stations continues to grow, health experts advice a change of habits-spending less time on the phone, using landline, and texting rather than calling-to cut the risk. The risk of brain cancer as a result of excessive use of phones cannot be ruled out. Reduced use of mobile phones is advised, Cancer is an extreme example. We get many cases of parents complaining that their children lack concentration, get headache and have behavioral problems. This cannot be proved, though. A scientist with ICMR said exposure to radio frequency radiation has a thermal effects, caused by holding a phone close to the body, and also a non-thermal effect which can be attributed to the induced electromagnetic effects inside biological cells. The non-thermal effect is possibly more harmful. People who are chronically exposed to low level wireless antenna emissions and users of mobile phone handsets have reported feeling several unspecific symptoms.

Direction: According to Pandit Ajay, ragas like Malhar and Des are like seasonal fruits-they simply taste better during a certain time of the year. Singing Malhar in the summer or winter is no taboo, But see, the notes of these of these typical monsoon rages and the lyrics of their bandishes have a strong symbolic connection with the rains, the pleasant chill in the air and even the refreshing fragrance that the happy Earth exhales. So it makes more sense to save these ragas for the monsoon. The artiste as well as the audience identify with them better when they are actually living the experience the ragas embody. Indian classical music, the maestro feels, captures myriad facets of rain, be it the gnawing separation anxiety it is reminiscent of, or the pensive, poetic thoughts they bring along. I believe in positive, feel good compositions that evoke joy in the listeners' mind. There is needed to be a special bond between two artists if they want to truly perform together. Who'll notice their beauty, if some exotic flowers are scattered separately ? They need to be arranged in an attractive bouquet to be beheld with awe.
