' .......touch-me-not'
A childhood experience about "Lojjaboti lata"(=a creeper plant), flashes in my mind as I am writing. We were playing 'hide& seek' One day I with my friend hid ourselves behind a Calvert which was covered by green creeper with superfine leaves.
My friend said ,"Do you notice the fun? As She touched the creeper all the leaves of the creeper folded as if they fell into sudden sleep . With surprise I started to touch the all parts of the creeper to make the leaves sleep .I was surprised and felt it more exciting than the game of hide and seek. My friend whispered this is known as 'touch-me-not"creeper. But the leaves awake within short period .That was a great fun to learn about plant .
With the help of ear, eyes formed the 'first'. basement of brain. Ear, nose, throat are closely related so that they respond to one another; they are accessaries of brain . In medical science we take appointment to ENT doc for the related problem in any one of them.
Pituitary gland is very important ; It is a pea-sized organ, housed in the bony structure at the base of brain ; it is the master gland ; it drive the other glands to release hormones in all vital parts like brain ,skin, energy , vision, blood pressure, reproductive organs etc.In one word it is the 'power house' of a body.
We take little care about our ear which is the main source of knowledge .In acupuncture treatment the doctor treated in this area to treat any part of the body. It is same as the main switch -box supplying electricity connected to the whole nervous system of our body.
Animals use the five sensory organs differently according to their need and ability. Say for instance: bats use their ears to see; moles use their nose to dig mud to shelter while the elephants use their. trunk/nose for bath , snakes use their mouth both to breath and swallow; chamelions have fantastic sight and capacity to hide by camofladging; scents and color of flowers attract the butterfly; Sometime they use scent as trap .They use the sense-organ to protect themselves from predators; animals with .whiskers around mouth work like antenna ;The hair/ fur of polar bear in the arctic region conserve heat of the sun like optic fibre wire to keep the body warm in cold.....Dogs'. skin don't sweat ;they gasp and drooling tongue keep their body cool.
The story of the Mughal emperor Akbar's experiment is suitable example to prove the importance of ear. Akbar himself was illiterate but he was no less than a pandit ; He learnt only by listening from the wise pandit .Once there was dispute among the people about language : Which language was god-given and noblest of all.
To solve the problem, Akbar the Great ordered his minister to collect 10 babies of six months from the parents who have unique linguistic difference and. to keep these ten babies in ten different sound proof chambers under proper baby-care. Only the ten 'deaf and dumb care-takers' were appointed to take care for those babies. These babies belong to the parents who followed the language of Urdu ,Farsi, Sanskrit , Pali, Maithily , brojobuli and some local ,even tribal language. When the babies became five years old. they were presented in the royal court.
The court was overcrowded of the mass with high pitch of excitement . To their disappointment it was found that all those ten babies were deaf and dumb ; none of them could speak in any language at all........... .
Thus the emperor convinced the common people that no language could claim superior to other as "God's language". All languages were equal.The baby learn that language which they listen from the parent or in environment ; if they hear nothing as sound of language from the beginning of birth ,they would learn nothing .
Though. some. people were not happy , but they couldn't argue Thus Akbar the Great solved the dispute of language peacefully . He was able to run on with the same "FARSI" as court language of the country. He reigned from 1556 to 1605 as the most popular Mughal emperor, in spite of being illiterate but wise only by listening. He wrote a book named "Akbar-E-Nama" to compromise the conflict between Hindu-ism and Islamist...
