I just saw a youtube talk delivered by Lawrence Lessig at Google plex. Larry Lessig is talking about what Anna Hazare is talking in India about corrupting influence of money on politics & corruption. I feel everyone should watch this video on the corrupting influence of money on government and policy makers. It is equally applicable to India as to America or US or USA.
Health
Health is a measure of quality of life that is difficult to define and measure.
In the 1940s, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as a “state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
At the first International Conference on Health Promotion in Ottawa, Canada (1986), the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion built on the WHO’s concept and further defined health as “a resource for everyday life … a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capabilities.”
Good health enables one to function independently within a changing environment.

Diabetes and hypertension – twin epidemic in India
Our living style is impacting our health, especially who are living in urban areas. With increasing urbanisation lifestyle diseases like diabetes and hypertension are becoming an epidemic.
