Bad Luck, Bad Planet or ………. ?

Life is mystery as I found lot of time and nobody knows what it store for you, sometimes somebody do his best with honesty but he get negative (failure) as outcome and I know a person very closely despite his honest efforts he get failure on each and every part of his life, but Thanks to Almighty God despite his failure his family stand behind him and his eldest brother and Bhabhi Ji ( now Late ) help him financially without asking why he need and not hoping to get it and till date his brother is doing a lot for him and the time is almost of fourteen years long period.
After completing his study Naresh (name changed) join a FMCG concern and worked for Company In Ludhiana,Jalandhar –n- Jammu and Kashmir, but when he was appointed in Jammu n Kashmir Territory he become victim of mysterious disease as till date he not recovered from it. There he become victim of typhoid and it was not trace and treat by the Doctors properly and despite spending huge money his health was going down wards ,and in days it effect his left leg hip joint so badly that he was unable to walk sit properly, and he
Take medicine and treatment from best Doctors of DMC, PGI -n- Ortho and consult doctors of abroad by sending his report, but it not effective.
Naresh even avoid checking doctors of E.S.I. from where he was titled for free treatment and compensation from this department of his salary until he was unable to join his duty. Different Doctors had different views relating to his disease .Some doctors said it is Typhoid’s said it is Polio, some said it tuberculosis and so on it’s a very long list at that time Naresh was of Twenty five years old .Naresh was even not allowed to walk and he was on bed for more then two months.
Then he consult top Ortho of North India, he was such high level doctor that he is in the list of V.V.I.P in case any V.V.I.P. feel need of Ortho then he treat that person. He said do meet me in my house where he was running private Clinic and see patient after his duty over for two to three hours. There Naresh taken his views he asked to come up with x-rays and blood test report ,after three hours he get report and x-rays he went to the clinic of doctor. Watching his x-rays and blood test report he said it is a normal infection and with medicine you will recover fully in fortnight, and do follow up after two weeks but surprisingly it not give relief to Naresh even one percent and his treatment with this doctor was almost for two months and he keep on changing medicine during this time when he use to visit him for follow up .Naresh quit at its own as he was not getting and improvement in his health.
He move to D.M.C. where head of Ortho of that hospital shown interest to treat him and there he was asked to have traction in his left leg as he was unable to walk for more then two months, resultant his left leg muscles week very much compare to right leg. There he had traction for a week and then advised to have in his house also for a week as he was discharge from hospital , and then he visit hospital again and met doctor private along with fresh x rays and blood test, after watching the report he asked to take rest for another week and then meet him. after week time the he asked to walk but in the beginning with crutches, and when he walk after more then three months there was big limping visible in his walking, it was appearing that bed rest or traction pull his muscles and had effect in his left leg walking, but being positive he was ignoring each and everything and had focus on his walking, after taking treatment from this doctor for three months he quite because doctor treatment and advise was same. The bad part was that not only Naresh was not improving but it was huge very huge loss of money also.
Then he admitted in P.G.I. for treatment. There Doctor checked him and then consulted with other doctor and come up with view that because disease is more then six months old, So there is necessity for Naresh to take treatment/medicine uninterrupted for some times, well yes he will recover that’s sure. They also see the report, Blood test –n- X-rays, but surprise very much also that how doctor’s Naresh had taken treatment differ from each other Doctor. Treatments begin of Naresh and after three weeks times they said as the disease is old, so we are unable to getting on to the root cause or disease.
Naresh then asked by his elder brother who was residing in England come there for treatment or will consult with specialist and for England Naresh get visa on the ground to have consultation from the doctors. When Doctor saw Naresh they were surprise and said when we had seen the reports we assume that you was not even in position to walk, but seeing you it relief us and taken test and gone through history of his disease. Then they declare we find his left leg is bit bigger from right one for this he need to wear ortho shoes and certainly it will give him good feel to walk with these shoes then to walk with ordinary shoes plus as his age is just twenty six and we cant take risk to operate him and in this case we will have two option either put steel joint for movements or for fix like he will then walk but wont able to move his leg and not sure if operation and artificial limb will fit in his body, if not fitted then we have to operate him again then remove artificial limb ,and chances of spreading septic in his body .It will be more dangerous to him. yes we operate but only when patient reach the age of sixty plus. Then Naresh start walking with ortho shoes it help to walk with ease comparing when he walk with ordinary shoes along with it he was doing lot of exercise and on daily basis he was doing lot of exercise, With exercise he was improving but the problem was that his improvement was not stable.
Then he taken Ayuervedic medicine, and where Doctor feel first to treat his left leg which appear to be bit long and with his treatment Naresh both leg comes to equal. He was walking normally and when he walk it’s not appear that he is limping but he had problem of movements of leg it was fix. He continue his treatment plus Naresh was doing lot of exercise he improved a lot in other words from the time he was alright to now he improve seventy five percent and for this position he had to do exercise. In twenty four hours of a day he was doing at least exercise of seven to eight hours.
With this state of physical fitness he passed two to three years, not even thinking to go for some work as his condition was not stable; age is running for career to give new height as that is the age when somebody with his hard work gives a direction to his career. and plus it was his eldest brother and bhabhi ji who was behind him for money to go for treatment,Naresh was feeling that he wont recover and will keep on swallowing money, its better to run away or end his life, but it was his thoughts only and sending signal to his mind day will change as ups and down part of life.
Spending life with this scenario one day he gets married. Despite telling each and every thing of him they girl side accept him. He got married. Marriage prove to him insult to injury as girl was full of negative thoughts and bad advise from her mother not to settle there, just tease them as much as you can with your behavior ,don’t do any work there, speak loudly and rudely which will make your marriage end then you can come back and stay with me. She did same thing and it make his mother blood pressure patient, and the peace of family was scattered. He did marriage to give some relief to his mother but it went opposite as his mother have to lot of thing of his wife also, then her relative called to settle case they come up and relation end only after taking money. It hurt Naresh a lot as he was becoming source of his eldest brother hard earn money spoil on to his disease, livelihood –n – now in divorce he hand over money.
Naresh has good and bad feel both in his mind,bad is what he did wrong that from almost sixteen years to date he was wasting his eldest brother hard earn money on to his disease, livelihood and now on divorce., Good is that despite burden on family no body till date ask him we have not money ? Why you are asking money? In today environment when money is everything the family stands for him without any question. Its rear one.
Till date Naresh is not improve properly or his health is not stable, his career spoils, his brother helping him financially, his marriage ends ,age is running without any hope of change in his life, and he is teetotaler ,vegetarian .
Any view from reader what you think Naresh has bad luck, Bad Planet or….. ?
As I am unable to pick his life worst part correctly.

Cable : Entertainment Champion

Until Asian Games in the year 1982 which was held in New Delhi, Indian Television Industry was Infant, telecast was in Black and white format and that was also for only some hours, but with Asian Games telecast start in Colour in India, not all the program but only few program in colour because there was necessity to upgrade there lot of machinery plus necessity to include technical experts person and it was possible by huge investment, and Doordarshan had lot of doordarshan Kendras or relay centre across India which was covering good percent of India, telecast of programme was in Terrestrial mode mean one can watch the program after erecting antenna at the top of there building and they were covering respective states for few hours throughout day and still the programme made for Television ( Doordarshan ) had not much attraction among viewers to watch the program .
In the year 1990 when gulf war fought it was telecast by CNN and people watch it and get the clear view from there houses’ through Cable, and it give a new direction for business house to jump in a sector which was going to be great hit in coming time and its name was Cable Television. In the beginning when Cable was new it was watched through dish ( having dish install in the premises of subscriber ) and cable ( which was seen through cable and its set up and control by local based franchisee ),and in the beginning it was able to telecast only 20 to 25 channels and to increase its number he has to upgrade its system, but slowly slowly when channel numbers keep on increasing they have to switch over from analogue to digital mode and its signal at subscriber end was as clear as of crystal both sound and picture wise. In India right now famous and well known three groups are existing whose different channels like and watch by more then eighty percent of cable subscriber and they are Star Group India, Sony Group and Zee Group as broadcaster and there all the channels control more then 75 % of business, but as the time passing on and they start looking for other point to earn revenue other then advertisement and some share from the total number of subscriber of cable service provider and they found very much effective to make there most demanded channel paid for whom to show cable service provider has to give additional money to its broadcaster. Then broadcaster also jump in the field and start giving cable service at city level and it heated the competition but it make customer king because start getting option to have connection of such provider who give good service at less price. Even some small level cable service provider merge also because getting all the three groups major channels making there input cost out from there hands.
Then in the month of July 2006 DTH (Direct to Home) service allowed, which means that after installing dish at the roof top of the house and through set up box subscriber can watch each and every channel with great quality of sound and picture with channels as per his choice bouquet and broadcaster has option of different slabs, but the biggest disadvantage of DTH against Cable is that with cable every TV set are independent and subscriber can watch his choice of channel but with DTH only one channel can be viewed which make it very costly or almost double to watch two TV. In the beginning there were three broadcaster but now there are more players are in the DTH circle they are
1. Dish TV Essel group
2. Tata Sky Tata n Sky Group of UK
3. DD Direct Doordarshan
4. Sun Direct Sun Direct uses the latest MPEG-4 based technology
to increase broadcast capacity.
5. Big Digital TV Reliance Communications
6. Airtel Digital TV Bharti Group
7. Videocon DTH Soon going to be launched
DTH service provider which enter in the field use MPEG 2 technology while all the latest entrance are using MPEG 4 which give advantage to the player to broadcast high quality video content along with more channels in the same bandwidth.
With so much competition broadcaster can manipulate and misuse its channel demand, but to check it government has already some years back put this industry under the eyes of TRAI as regulator.
From single channel in the eighties to two thousand eight countless channel are available with very small monthly fees and all category channel like news, sports ,movies, cartoon , music and films etc. etc. and its boom has hit some trade also like theater n movies, but in the era of competition Customer is king which ever player give best service with less price will be winner as far business is concern.
