खुशियां / Happiness  – Kaushal Kishore

 

खुशियाँ रेत की तरह फिसल जाती हैं, 

पर वेदना आसानी से चिपक जाती है…

बुद्धिमानी से हमें एक को चुन लेना है,

दूसरे को मुरझाने के लिए छोड़ देना है…

😊😊😊😊😊😊

Happiness slips away, like sand,

Sorrow clings, with a heavy hand…

Choose wisely, which to hold dear,

And let the other fade without a tear…

.

Mercedes Schneider: The Man Who Spent His Life in an Iron Lung | Diane Ravitch’s blog

Mercedes Schneider read a story last spring about a man who contracted polio in 1952 when he was six years, survived it, but spent the next 72 years dependent on an iron lung. Despite his limited ability to survive outside the machine, Paul Alexander finished college and law school, then practiced law. Before his death, he became a TikTok star.

When she read the story, it was interesting– but now it’s timely. After all, Trump has appointed a vaccine critic to run the Department of Health and Human services. Trump himself said in a national interview that he is skeptical about mandating vaccines for school children.

So Mercedes decided it was time to do some research about polio. Her post is engaging and brings back memories for those of us who were in school before the first vaccine was discovered and made available. We lived in terror of getting polio.
