Nairaland General › Meet The Man That Lives Within The Confines Of An Iron Lung! by bbeckky(op): 4:17pm On Aug 21, 2015 |
I stumbled on this while surfing the net and i was really amazed at this man's life and achievement(s) against any odds. He is one lucky man... Thank God Nigeria has a polio-free record for the past 2years, please let us keep the years counting. Polio is a bastard and more often than not, it causes permanent paralysis ******* Before going any further, let us understand what an “iron lung” is: it’s not so much a lung as a rigid case fitted over a patient’s body to assist him in breathing by pumping air into his lungs with the aid of mechanical pumps. The iron lung is perhaps most commonly associated with polio, often going hand-in-hand with it, as most polio patients spent a large chunk of their life confined within the iron lung. Another fact about the iron lung: it is only rarely used today, so much so, that they have stopped making parts for iron lungs. In fact, only 10 people use the iron lung today; seven of them are in the United States. One of them is Paul Alexander. Paul Alexander , This man uses iron lung to breathe Alexander, who hails from Texas, is now almost 68. He was left completely paralyzed by polio at the age of six, owing to which his lungs stopped working; he has been largely dependent on and confined to his iron lung ever since. It has now been 62 years that Alexander has spent in the iron lung: he still remains completely paralysed, and is only able to move his head, neck, and mouth. However, that is not the remarkable bit: Alexander taught himself voluntary breathing, which allowed him to escape the iron lung for a few hours at a time. Besides this, Alexander has three college degrees to his name, which allowed him to forge a successful career as a lawyer and set up a successful private law practice. The few hours that he can spend out of confinement are used whenever he may be litigating a case or giving a speech. While Alexander condemns the machine he is confined to, he also gratefully admits that had it not been for the machine, he wouldn’t be alive today: ‘It is my cage, but it’s also my cocoon,’ says he.

Don't mind that Ole buruku. ..after diving into that pond(imagine, ordinary pond..not Indian Ocean ) to get Sugni's marital necklace, dude started forming "cold is cashing me". He tried to catch feelings with Sugni, only for "their creator" to release one big Timber from the roof of the shack they were in. He's lucky, Sugni would have been scrapping his splattered brains off the floor by now. If not for Vikram's desperation/impatience...Sugni would have ended up like Pia(come back begging) |

That awkward moment when Sahiba ( "Anu" ) shoved Daljeet's outstretched arms and ran towards Fateh (Ranveer's splitting image).
Epic!

Yuvraj and Pavitra a decided to go on a date like they did when they first met. When they get to the restaurant they see that the rest of the Gorodia family is there. Yuvraj decides to go and greet his father and Suryakant pretends not to know him. Yuvraj insists that he is Suryakant's son and Suryakant tells him that his son is dead and that he only has four daughters. Back at the Gorodia Mansion. Yuvraj is furious that his father refused to aknowledge him and Menka says that parents sometimes say things they don't mean when they are angry . Pavitra acusses Menka of taking care of taking Suryakant's side. This causes Yuvraj to be very angry at his mother as well. |

You have done well my sis,well summarized.....@Adesiji77 i hope u got dat. MainHerioneHoon: Plot The movie begins with Mahi Arora ( Kareena Kapoor), a renowned heroine, being thrown out of a car at night. She hails a taxi to a police station with the intention of lodging a complaint. Before she can do so, her secretary Rashid Bhai ( Govind Namdeo ) takes her from the station. The movie then goes to flashback for a while, showing the circumstances and her relationship with a well-known actor Aryan ( Arjun Rampal). Aryan is in the divorce proceedings with his wife, and dating Mahi. Mahi is completely in love with Aryan, and during one of their intimate moments, takes a video of them just for fun. Aryan is split between his current wife and son, his career, and over- jealous Mahi. When Mahi comes to know about an intimate scene Aryan is shooting for a movie, she barges on to the set and creates a ruckus, which upsets Aryan. Later Mahi is teased by Aryan's current wife in a party, and she insults her back. While driven back from the party with Aryan, Mahi raises the topic, which results in her being thrown out of the car. Mahi then goes into depression, putting her career in jeopardy. One of her friends suggests Mahi to stop playing the victim and to get back again with a bang. Heeding her advice, Mahi decides to rejuvenate her career. She employs a PRO, Pallavi ( Divya Dutta ) who reinvents Mahi's image and puts her back on the front page of every newspapers and magazines. She starts relationship with an upcoming cricketer, Angad Paul ( Randeep Hooda ). Their love affair begins to blossom and puts her back into the spotlight. Mahi uses Angad to get role in a big budget film. However, lead hero manipulates so that all the spotlight in the film goes to him and an item girl. Mahi is dissatisfied despite the film being a success, and in a desperate attempt to prove her acting skills she works in an art film for next nine months. In between Angad proposes to Mahi, but she feels that presently they should concentrate on their respective careers. This causes Mahi and Angad's relationship to end. Also the art film never completes, again Mahi goes into depression accompanied by heavy drinking and smoking. As no big film coming her way, she decides to work on a low budget film with newcomers. Also she agrees to make an appearance in the marriage of an industrialist daughter. As fate would have it, Mahi meets Aryan at the wedding. Aryan seems to be apologetic to Mahi for what he had done to her. They decide to rekindle their affair. Mahi is happy that Aryan is back in her life. Also, he wants her to do a big budget film with him. However, the director of the film is reluctant to cast Mahi in the role of the lead heroine as she has lost her appeal. Mahi becomes insane about losing the role to another heroine. She asks Pallavi to leak the sex tape of her and Aryan on the news so that she would get back on the spotlight for the release of her low budget film. As a result of this controversy, the film becomes an instant hit. However, when Rashid Bhai quits his job and a veteran actress in the industry, Shagufta Reza ( Helen ) whom Mahi admires dearly, dies, Mahi decides to quit acting as well. In the concluding scenes, Mahi is shown walking alone in a foreign country and on being asked if she is Mahi Arora, she replies "no". It is implied that Mahi moved on with her life. |
