Oxford Bookstore Celebrates Launch of The Poetry Collection ‘Silent Sun’

By Tricitynews

New Delhi 24th August:- Delhi’s iconic Oxford Bookstore witnessed the launch of ‘Silent Sun’ by Ayushman Jamwal, the journalist and author’s second poetry collection after ‘Chameleon Lights’ in 2016.

The book explores the human condition in the modern era through different eyes of humanity, the constant and elusive search for meaning in the absence of the struggle for survival. Drawing from his experiences in the newsroom – Ayushman’s vivid verses explore that human drive from the perspective of women (Am I Not God’s Child?), soldiers (May The Valley Hear Me Roar), refugees (We Remember, Our Nation Forgets), broken souls (The Cursed Rockstar) and even gods (Rama’s Lament). The poems highlight that through turmoil and happiness, human beings want to achieve the realisation of their place in the world and the contours of their soul - donning the roles of creators, preservers and destroyers from time to time.

Ayushman Jamwal and journalist Radhika Dutta discussed the author’s journey to craft the collection. Other poets too took the stage to recite their favourite poems from ‘Silent Sun’, with many applauding The Cursed Rockstar, Ayushman’s tribute to Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington who tragically took his own life in 2017.

The interactive session was followed by musical renditions of the poems, with performances of ‘I Think Of You’ and ‘The Lost Artist’ to huge applause from the audience.

Poetry is in Ayushman’s DNA. He is the grandson of celebrated Dogri poet and Sahitya Akademi recipient – the late Group Captain Randhir Singh, also known as Kunwar Viyogi. He curates the ‘Innovation in Art’ initiative of the Kunwar Viyogi Memorial Trust founded in the memory of his grandfather, which gives a platform to budding artists and works towards preserving the Dogri language.

Ayushman Jamwal said that Silent Sun celebrates the passion that elevates all of us to be a little more than nothing, and the array of emotions that fuel that passion. He added further that the Oxford Bookstore has given him an appropriate platform to launch the book and connected him to so many kindred spirits and like-minded souls to share his work and celebrate the power of expression. He hope people connect to Silent Sun and find their fire between the lines.

Kidney Transplant Unit at Max Completes 500 Successful Transplants

By Tricitynews

Chandigarh 24th August:- After first kidney transplant in August 2013, followed by region’s 1st successful ABO-incompatible (Different Blood Group) kidney transplant,  doctors at Max Hospital, Mohali broke blood barrier in organ transplant thus giving hope to patients looking for donors without blood group matching.

The Kidney Transplant Unit at Max since its inception in 2013 has done almost all type of difficult surgeries. It’s in fact a first centre to perform ABO incompatible transplant in northern India with majority of transplants involving live donors. The centre has performed many cases of swap transplants and pediatric transplants.

Recently a person underwent kidney transplant for 3rd time at Max, which is very rare even at centers like PGIMER Chandigarh after his first two transplants failed.

The 47 years old male patient had undergone two transplants in the leading hospitals in Chennai and Chandigarh in 2003 and 2007 respectively. First time, he got kidney from his wife but had graft loss in 2007. In his second transplant, his father donated the kidney for him.

Unfortunately he lost his graft kidney again in 2018 and put on dialysis. After getting refused for kidney transplant in other centers due to high surgical and immunological risk, he reached at Max center for 3^rd transplant.

To announce completion of successful 500 kidney transplants at Max’s kidney transplant unit, Dr. Munish Chauhan, senior consultant Nephrology and Kidney Transplant, said that the patient’s kidney was placed inside the abdomen (intraperitonealy) which is technically demanding whereas normally we place it outside peritoneum . This type of surgery has been done only a few times all across the world.

Dr Jagdish Sethi, senior consultant and chief transplant surgeon said that our centre is equipped with state of the art operation theatre and  advanced ICU set up which is at par with best centres in the world. We are amongst the top 10 hospitals in the country doing more than 100 transplants every year since inception.

Dr Vinay Sakhuja, Director Nephrology and Transplant Medicine said that we have also done transplants in very poor patient with support of Max India Foundation; even few patients from different states have been benefited by chief minister relief fund providing huge financial relief to these patients.

Compared with maintenance dialysis, renal transplant is associated with better quality of life, improved life expectancy, and lower costs. It is considered the treatment of choice for the majority of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), including patients older than 60 years of age.

By Tricitynews

Chandigarh 24th August:- Dev Samaj College , Sec 36 here has organised a unique festival 'Dev Samaj Satya Dharma Bodh Utsav'(Moral Education Festival), to inculcate & make Dev Samaj Group of Institution's students, staff members & members of society, aware about the importance of moral values in everyday life. The one of a kind initiative will be on till August 25, 2018.

The Chief Guest & Speaker at today's function was Nirmal Singh Dhillon, Secretary,  Dev Samaj & Chairman, Dev Samaj Group of Institutions.

Nirmal Singh Dhillon engaged the audience really well through narration of real life experiences related to importance of moral values & sharing of his life's research on great men of history. He said that one should know about History & Literature, as only then one can appreciate the evolution of humans and the growth that human race has made.

He said further that a society is known by its litterateurs, authors, poets, scientists, artists etc as they have the power to transform society for the better. If a writer can produce some very effective literature then this has the ability to make society  a perfect place. These people have the capability to create such a utopia where there will be no need of a government.

Nirmal Singh Dhillon further added that truth and goodness are the main aspects which all humans need to incorporate in their lives,  if human life is to be made meaningful.

He said that one needs to have a 'development oriented' approach in life, which was possible only through 'scientific temper'. He gave examples of how great scientists like Archimedes and Galileo were persecuted by ill informed and radical forces of those times, but despite this, they continued their good work. He said that there will be many roadblocks if one tries to lead a life of morals, truth & goodness like was the case with great people from History, but one should never give up on his or her values. In fact one needs to develop a passion for the subject of interest, this may be 'spiritualism' or for that matter any other subject.

During the talks at the festival, youngsters & elders alike will  be enlightened on how to lead a harmonious existence in regard to all four kingdoms -namely Animal Kingdom, Plants Kingdom, inanimate world and Human world.
