Karwa Chauth 2021: Here's some wishes and messages to share with your loved ones on the occasion

-

The festival of Karwa Chauth holds special importance among Hindu women as wives fast all day to pray for the well-being and long lives of their husbands. Also referred to as Karak Chaturthi, Karwa Chauth is marked every year in the Ashwin month (according to the Amavasyant calendar) and Kartik month (as per the Purnimanta calendar) on the Krishna Paksha Chaturthi Tithi (fourth day).

This year, the festival will be celebrated on 24 October. Many unmarried women too fast on the day to be blessed with ideal life partner. Women, on Karak Chaturthi, also worship Maa Parvati to seek her blessings.

On this day, women don't consume anything. They perform Karwa Puja in the evening and break the fast only after sighting the moon. Prayers are offered to the Moon god using Karwa or Karak, the earthen pot. Women who observe Karwa Chauth fast are said to be blessed with a happy married life.

On the special occasion, here's a few messages and wishes to share with your loved one:

  1. Marriage is ultimately a practice of becoming friends and Karwa Chauth is a day to celebrate that special friendship. Happy Karwa Chauth!
  2. A great marriage is not when everything is perfect, but when we try to make everything nearly perfect while enjoying the differences existing between us. Have a happy and blessed Karwa Chauth!
  3. Mutual admiration, respect, and never-ending love — this is all that I want in our marriage forever. Happy Karwa Chauth!
  4. The difference between a great marriage and an extraordinary marriage is life-long friendship and never-ending love. Happy Karwa Chauth dear husband!
  5. Salute Indian women for their sacrifice and love for their husbands. Happy Karwa Chauth.
  6. As you worship the moon god and pray for the long life of your husband, may you be blessed with all that your heart desires. Happy Karwa Chauth.
  7. As long as we fight the battles together, nothing else matters. Happy Karwa Chauth
  8. May the sight of the full moon fill your heart with happiness. Wishing you a blessed Karwa Chauth.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
