URBANIZATION ARRIVES IN THUL!

It is 19th September, 1981. The villagers of Thul, old and young are going about their daily lives. The old are resting under trees, fanning themselves with fans made out of fallen leaves. The young are playing, wandering about the village. Playful children splash about and play in the water. The older ones, teenagers, are going to school, the girls are at the markets, buying supplies for home. However, far away, kilometers away, many trucks are headed for Thul.

The trucks finally arrive in Thul. Many children gather around, curious of what was going on. One of the workmen asked them to leave but they were as stubborn as a mule and ignored them. They begin to unload what they had. Pipes, cement, metal wires, cranes. It did not seem to end with even more trucks arriving at night. This time they did their work peacefully without any disturbance. However, they are disturbed by the village drunkards coming home as they make a loud noise, smashing glass bottles and vomiting out what they had just drank. The next day, some of the villagers come over. They looked curious and they asked wether they would get jobs. They were promptly told that they would not. We caught up with Mr. Faaris and he said:" This is outrages! They are building factories in our little town but they even did not think about us! Where would we go after this? Where will we stay? What will we work as? This is madness. We are already deciding to go to Bombay and stage a rally there to object to the government's decision to build factories here if we are going to get nothing out of this!"

While it seems clearly that the villagers of Thul are angry, would they stage a rally like what Mr. Faaris said? We will be checking in daily with the news and be reporting.

The Harmful Effects of toddy

Hot toddy is a name given to a mixed drink, usually including alcohol, that is served hot. Hot toddies are traditionally drunk before going to bed, or in wet and/or cold weather. They were believed to help cure the cold and flu, but the American Lung Association now recommends avoiding treating the common cold with alcoholic drinks as they cause dehydration.

Alcohol, the most harmful compound in toddy is very addictive.Therefore, forcing many countries to impose age limits on which age must they be before they will be allowed to consume Alcohol.Alcohol is a psychoactive drug that has a depressant effect. A high blood alcohol content is usually considered to be legal drunkenness because it reduces attention and slows reaction speed. Alcoholic beverages can be addictive, and the state of addiction to alcohol is known as alcoholism.

Beside being addictive, it will also damage your liver, as well as causing many new diseases. Such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, dementia and diabetes. It will also lower the longevity so t is therefore considered harmful. Basically, there is nothing harmful in toddy except for alcohol.
