Magh Bihu 2022: Here are some wishes, greetings and messages to share on this festive occasion

-

Magh Bihu is being marked on 14 January this year in Assam. The harvest festival is dedicated to the Sun God (Lord Surya) and marks the transition of the Sun in to the Makara (Capricorn) zodiac sign.

The harvest festival is also celebrated as Pongal in the southern states and Makar Sankranti in the rest of the country. The occasion is considered as one of the most auspicious ones in the Hindu calendar and is marked with great pomp and fervour.

The term Bihu is believed to originate from ‘Bishu’, a Sanskrit word, according to News18. The Sanskrit word means to bring in good luck and seek happiness and blessings from gods.

Many people offer their prayers to the Sun God on this day. It is believed that taking a dip in the Ganga river on Magh Bihu can invoke the blessings of the gods. People also clean their houses and make khichdi on this day in honour of the occasion.

The festival indicates the shift from long, cold winter to warmer days. Magh Bihu also marks the start of the auspicious Uttarayana period for Hindus.

On the occasion of Magh Bihu this year, here are some wishes and messages to share with your loved ones:

  •  I wish you grow with each of your aspirations that comes into your heart with the sunshine that comes with the festival. Happy Bihu!

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
