Subject: Deepawali celebrations.
Dear Friends , Resp Elders and lovely Children ;
How strange it is to read that there is a steep increase in swimming drowning deaths when the consumption of Ice Creams is at its peak ! The renowned economist - Steven lewitt of Freakonomics fame drew a correlation between sales of Ice cream going up and along with it taking the beach prone accidents to a new high.. the factual connection is however is very simple - people eat ice creams in peak summer - the warmer the weather the higher the consumption of Ice creams, and folks also go to the beach for a swim in summers - the higher the heat the more the swimmers - hence ice cream sales is directly proportional to drowning deaths !!
If we had similar economists in India may be we would have understood why - more the Diwali celebrations lesser the business in Hospitals - people fall less ill after religious celebrations like Deepawali is a statistics available from your next door family nursing home. I asked Dr Rashi - if there was a correlation , and not as so much as the authority as Mr Lewitt - she said killer illness like Dengu and others perish after deepawali - what a genetic timing the dengu mosquito has !! But the factual position is - smoke from bursting crackers is a far greater insect killer /natural balancing factor compared to any federal programme on health preservation / urban or rural health mission so -
