This is the story of a couple living at Bangalore, husband is working as software engineer, Wife is housemaker.2004,“Yes, we like the girl and we want to carry forward this relationship. Let's decide the date so we can proceed further.” - groom's (Varun) family.Varun and Aparna got married, Varun was from Delhi and Aparna was from Kanpur.After marriage Varun and Aparna shifted to Banglore as Varun was software engineer.They both were living happily. Very soon they got the gift of God in the form of their son in 2006.Varun was doing good professionally, Aparna was supporting him at every point of time whether it was personal or professional.Varun’s profile and salary were increasing day by day. They have also purchased thier own property in Bangalore.In 2010 they were blessed with another small child.God was showering happiness to them. They were socially, physically, financially wealthy.2014,One fine day, Varun got call from his client from Germany. He has to go Germany with his family for his job.Aparna and Varun was so happy to move ahead in thier life. Varun’s career was on peak, he was earning 4 lac PM. And all set to go Germany for the next project.Thing were as smooth as butter.One month before leaving Banglore, Varun was feeling tired after returning from office.Varun: I am not feeling well, my head is swimming.Aparna: whole day you take lots of stress, don't think too much.. just take rest.Next day he again feel same.Aparna fixed the appointment with a physician.Doctor (after several test) : I think you should consult with Neuro physician.Very next day, Aparna contacted with his company officials and asked about appointment with a good neuro physician.Docter(Neuro): After some check up he asked the couple, “I have to go one long test it will take whole day. But just hope the result would not same which I am thinking.”Couple was not sure what doctor is saying. But as per Doctor instruction they were there for whole day.At the end of the day. Doctor called them to his cabin.Doctor: who is more strong among you?Aparna: Me.. please tell.Doctor: Varun is suffering from dieseas called as MND.Motor neurone disease (MND) describes a group of diseases that affect the nerves (motor neurones) in the brain and spinal cord that tell your muscles what to do. With MND, messages from these nerves gradually stop reaching the muscles, leading them to weaken, stiffen and waste.Docter said, 'Varun has only 5 years'. This dieseas will first paralyse his body then his voice. There is no cure for MND.He said to Varun, “you have to do fast what ever you want to do, you don't have so much time. Very soon your body will stop working.”Aparna lost her senses, she was not able to think or speak.But Varun decided, not to waste time. Very next day he started arranging all the investment, FDs, Mutual fund, insurance. Aparna was not much aware about his investment.Varun was making sure to create a wealthy base after him for his wife and children.Aparna was in a deep shock, for a week. When her parents came to Banglore, her father told , “Varun has less time every month! every week, every day is crucial. 5 years you have to be strong. You have small children, think about them, You can't loose courage. And we we'll help you at every point of time.”She shown some courage, and brought him to Kerala for the Ayurveda treatment. (As English medicine has no cure for the MND)But nothing worked.It was hard to survive now, in a city like Banglore. Thier two homes got sold for the treatment of Varun.Now,In 2019,With her father support she started living at her hometown. And they live in front of our home.This is the fifth year of his disease.His condition getting worst day by day. As I have seen him only on wheel chair, beacuse they have shifted here 10 months ago.One day when I visited thier home, I saw a photo frame hanging on wall. Varun was taking award of best employee. He was looking damn handsome in black formal suit. He was smiling in the picture.Then I saw him in real, he is on wheel chair. He can't speak now he can't eat anything, living on liquid food only. But only common thing in photo and real is his precious Smile.Aparna is taking care of him as nurse, wife, mother, friend. She know it very well at the age of 36–37 she is going to be single mother.But she always remain cheer full to give strength to her husband and children.She cries alot, but not front of them.Life is so unfair sometime, I realise it now.Edit 1(23/07/19): His condition is very critical, he is not opening his eyes since yesterday. Just pray for him.Edit 2 (13/12/19): He is no more. She lost him on the day she got him. Yes it is their marriage anniversary.Purti J.

Warning and Disclaimer: Long answer! 1800 words. Skip reading unless you are deeply interested in personal details about me. There is no useful information here for the serious readers looking for worthwhile information, but plenty of it for those terribly curious about me.Okay, if you have ignored this warning, then sit back and relax while you read.I sincerely thank Deepika Joshi for her kind words about me and for the only other answer to this question so far.Since the topic is ‘Gopalkrishna Vishwanath fact’, who else is more competent to answer this than Gopalkrishna Vishwanath himself?So, here you are! Listen to the facts, straight from the “Horse’s Mouth”My name is Vishwanath. Not Gopalkrishna, which is my father’s name. I am known as GV among my friends, among Quorans, and among my former professional contacts.I am not the father any famous Quoran. I am the father of two wonderful children, (a daughter, who is settled in USA with her husband and her little son, and a son who is settled in the UK). I am not allowed to reveal any more information about them on a public platform.I am 69. My wife is 63 and here is the most recent picture of the two of us taken just a few weeks ago.4. We now live at Parkside Retirement Home of Brigade Orchards townhip, at Devanahalli, a small village 45 km North of Bengaluru City. Devanahalli has recently boomed and developed into a small town after the Government built the Bengaluru International Airport here. I live just 3.5 km away from the runway(as the crow flies) and can see planes taking off and landing every two minutes or so.5. We hail originally from Paalakkad District of Kerala and we speak, as our native language, a dialect of Tamil called Paalakkad Iyer Tamil. This is basically Tamil spoken using Malayalam accent and which uses several Malayalam words. But I am not proficient in written Tamil. English and Hindi are the languages in which I communicate best. I write in the Hindi section of Quora too but my Hindi is just tolerable. I am grateful to my friends in the Hindi section, who correct my grammar and spelling errors.6. My father migrated from Kerala to Mumbai during World War II and I had my schooling in Mumbai. I left Mumbai in 1967 and got my Engineering Degree from BITS - Pilani (1972) and my master’s degree in Structural engineering (1974) from the University of Roorkee (now called IIT - Roorkee)7. I am a retired structural engineer by profession and had specialized in consultancy services in the area of Design of Steel structures in Industrial Buildings. I worked for 28 years for a Government owned company called MECON and in 2002, resigned as the head of the structural section of the company at their regional office in Bengaluru. I then joined a private company in Electronics city as General Manager and got introduced to a new line of business when the internet took root in India . I worked for two and half years in this company and then set shop for myself and launched Hi-Q Design & Detailing Pvt Ltd in 2004. I owned and managed a company employing a team of 15 engineers and we were involved in modeling and detailing of steel structures and design of connections for Industrial and commercial buildings. I sold the organization and retired completely late in 2011. Health was the main reason for calling it off. Under the new management, the organization has since grown to over 160 employees, with four offices in different cities in South India and also obtained ISO certification and the turn over is now several times my small turnover.8. I have traveled all over India except for Kashmir, Simla and the Northeast and the Andaman Islands. I have been posted and lived in Mumbai, Kollam (in Kerala), and Surat(Hazira) and Bengaluru. In connection with official work I have toured and had long temporary stays at Kochi, Chennai, Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad, Mangalore, Kudremukh, Salem, Bharuch(Dahej), Rourkela, Bhilai, Durgapur, Jamshedpur, Kolkata, Bokaro, Ranchi, Bhadravati. Unofficially, as a tourist I have been all over India except as stated at the start of this paragraph. The places are too numerous to list here.9. As regards my travels abroad, I have spent 2 and half years in USA, in five stints of 6 months each, South Korea (3 months), Finland (Helsinki) for a week and Singapore (3 days).10. I belong to a unique generation which managed without computers and the internet. We did not have even a calculator. Neither was a photocopying machine available. From the sixties till now, I have lived through the computer/internet/and mobile telephony revolution and learned and adapted to technology with great enthusiasm. The radio and a land line telephone were the only modern technological wonders that I was used to right from childhood.(Image source: Pinterest and dreamstime)(Sourc: jooinn.com)I used sliderules and not calculators before 1976 when they became available (though expensive)Image Source : gettyimagesI later learned programming on my own, learned to handle personal computers and used it very effectively in my profession when most of my seniors and colleagues were “computer illiterate” and technologically challenged. When the internet made its advent in India around 1999–2000 I was among the first in my age group to be totally taken in by it and embrace it.11. I have lived without any vehicle / conveyance of my own and managed fine till the age of 27. I later owned two motor cycles, initially Yezdi and later Bullet. I sold them and was among the first buyers of the Kinetic Honda scooter in 1986 when no one was trusting this vehicle as it was technically too advanced for those times. People did not trust an automatic transmission and battery start. They believed only in clutches and gears and kick starting. I also owned mopeds (Luna, TVS, Scooty) and gave them away to my children later. I bought myself a bicycle with gears (BSA) in the late seventies. I finally settled down to getting myself a car in 1990 and have owned Premier Padmini, Maruti Wagon R, Reva(electric) and now own a Santro Xing with automatic transmission.12. Politically, I was a Congress voter, till the death of Indira Gandhi. I was politically neutral, during the time of Rajiv Gandhi and PVN. But once Vajpayee took over, I shifted my loyalties. I have since then been a staunch opponent of all parties except the BJP. After Namo took over, my loyalty and commitment to BJP and to Namo in person is total and I freely admit to being totally biased in favour of Namo/BJP. I detest communists, and communalists and caste based parties and family fiefdoms. I don’t believe BJP is communal in any way. I believe it is national and trust it totally to take care of the interests of the country as a whole even if some of their policies are wrong and they make mistakes occasionally. I also agree that not all their politicians are above board.13. I am a theist. I am a modern Hindu in my thinking. I get along fine with people professing all other religions (including atheists) but am uncomfortable only with the extremist elements among them. I am not overly ritualistic. I am heavily influenced by modern thoughts and support all the reforms that Hinduism has introduced and will welcome some more. I am a Brahmin by birth (more specifically a South Indian Iyer) but live a totally cosmopolitan lifestyle, feel no sense of any superiority over other castes, mingle freely and inter-dine with all castes, and religious/linguistic denominations, and am completely open to inter-caste, inter-religious, inter-racial marriages as long as the couple are old enough, mature and economically independent and love each other.14. I love reading. It is my primary hobby. Earlier I read books. These days I read on the computer screen. My favourite web sites are Google, You Tube, Wikipedia and now Quora. I hardly visit any other web site. I don’t watch TV nowadays unless a very important sporting event is going on. I like movies but have not been watching too many these past few years. I watched movies in English, Hindi and Tamil. I love music, particularly Carnatic Classical music. I also enjoy Carnatic fusion music these days. I learned to play the flute during my college days but never followed it up seriously as my career and family pre-occupations did not permit me to do full justice to it. I also realized that I did not have the talent to reach the top and gave up. Today I am out of practice but can still play simple melodies, popular old Bollywood film tunes, advertisement jingles well enough to keep kids amused but not well enough to make adults take me seriously. I can play but cannot and am not willing to perform.15) I am against the policy of reservations in India and believe it will harm us in the long run unless economic backwardness is made the main criterion instead of caste based backwardness as at present. Even with reservation I don’t believe the qualifying criteria should be relaxed. I believe the present reservation policy must be slowly withdrawn with percentages reduced and ultimately given up totally.16. I don’t believe we must force ourselves to have a national language. To me national unity is more important than a National Language. While I love Hindi, and use it freely, I am against it being enforced on non Hindi speaking states. I am okay with the Central Government promoting it and using it as an official language at the centre and in the states where the people accept it. I believe the non Hindi states must be free to either accept Hindi as a third language or live with the two language policy that they now practice and leave it to the market forces and the people’s preferences to make their own choices as regards learning languages. But I am also against states opposing the language and discouraging it’s people from learning the language or making it difficult for them to do so, motivated by a fear of being culturally swamped by Hindi.17.

'Is it necessary to wash new clothes from the store prior to wearing them? If they are clean, why is this necessary?'Personal health and safety, that's why. Regulators might suggest it's prudent to wash new clothes from the store prior to wearing them while I consider it necessary to do so.The clothes we wear today are a far cry from those of the past. No friendly neighborhood Gandhi spinning raw cotton into reels, no friendly neighborhood artisan weaving that thread into cloth on their hand-loom, no friendly neighborhood tailor stitching bespoke clothing after fitting that cloth to our individual bodies. Instead, raw materials are sourced globally from big agri business, the petrochemical industry and the like, spun into cloth in factories and stitched on assembly lines in other factories where they also undergoAntimicrobial treatments designed to make them mold- and mildew-resistant during their logistically protracted storage in warehouses and transport across the globe in shipping containers.A variety of chemical treatments that endow value added properties such as wrinkle-resistant (iron-free/permanent press), stain resistant and/or flame-retardant.Ever wondered how clothes acquire such properties? They need to be specifically treated with specific chemicals (textile finish resins or durable press resins or permanent press clothing resins) using specific processes (durable press chemical finishes, DPCF) to acquire these properties that many of us customers now simply expect as a matter of convenience from the textile industry.From wearer's health and safety point of view, perhaps the most consequential chemical exposure is Formaldehyde - Wikipedia, the same carcinogenic cross-linking agent used to embalm bodies (see below from 1),'Formaldehyde resins have been used to impart wrinkle resistance to clothing fabrics since 1926.'Cotton, cotton/polyester and wrinkle-resistant linens are typically most subjected to such resin finishes while the amount of formaldehyde such textiles release depends highly on the type of resin and conditions used for the finishing (2, also see below from 3, emphasis mine).'Natural fibres, especially cotton, are still the most important kinds of fibres because of their numerous advantages such as high tensile strength, good abrasion resistance, high moisture absorption, quick drying and absence of static problems. However, cotton has poor elasticity and resilience, i.e. poor wrinkle recovery property. It is weakened easily by acids and resin chemicals used in finishing processes. In addition, fabrics made from untreated cotton fibres burn easily with a high flame velocity and are prone to being attacked by mildew and bacteria. Reducing wrinkling, flammability and microbial attacks of cotton fibre have been the major challenge facing the textile industry. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the current status of developments in functional finishing of cotton fabrics. Functional finishing agents, especially cross-linking agents, are embedded in cotton fabrics with the aid of acid catalysts, followed by drying and curing at high temperatures. The treated cotton fabrics often suffer from decrease in tensile strength, tear strength, abrasion resistance and sewability with a stiff, harsh and uncomfortable feel. Moreover, chemicals present in finishing agents react in the curing process to form some residues, which may even release free formaldehyde, which is of carcinogenic nature. The amount of formaldehyde remaining in the finished product depends largely on the amount and kind of finishing agents and catalysts used, as well as the curing conditions.'Further, source country doesn't appear to influence level of formaldehyde release from clothes (2), a sign of how truly global textile manufacturing processes have become. Different finished textiles release different amounts of formaldehyde. Specifically, an exhaustive European Commission study from 2007 found (see below from 2),'...shirts seem to be the category with the highest risk...pure cotton and mixtures containing wool seem to release more formaldehyde than garments made of mixtures containing cotton and other fibres.'OTOH (4, see below from 2),'Domestic washing effectively reduces the level of released formaldehyde'Obviously, more washes, greater the reduction. Nevertheless, as David Brookstein, a textile engineer, commented to the New York Times in 2010, we'd be better off if clothes came labeled with 'Wash before wearing' (5).Legal Restrictions on Textile Formaldehyde ContentThough our own metabolism synthesizes minute quantities of formaldehyde as a matter of course, since clothes are in contact with our skin for extended periods of time, amount and chronic exposure are the key factors to keep in mind.While several countries have followed Japan and Finland by imposing restrictions on formaldehyde content in textiles (see below from 6), others such as the US have not.According to NIST (7), as of June 2016, Minnesota is the only US state to specifically impose a ban on formaldehyde-added children's products.Contact dermatitis in textile workers & even wearersA 2015 study reports, (see below from 8).'...some chemicals from processing may remain on consumer products. Allergic reactions and irritation of the skin and respiratory tract are the most common harmful effects in workers in the textile industry.'Sporadic reports from different countries suggest textile-associated Contact dermatitis - Wikipedia ranges from ~0.2 to ~11% in different populations, the much higher rates obviously found in textile industry workers (1, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16).Bibliography1.
