WELLNESS | Raipur Lifestyle Magazine climacteric crisis WORDS: GITA SUBRAMANIAN PHOTOGRAPHS: INTERNET A midlife crisis (40 to 65) is a transition of identity and self-confidence that can occur typically during this period to both men and women.The term was coined by Elliott Jaques in 1965. The phenomenon is described as a psychological crisis brought about by a person's growing age, inevitable mortality, and possibly shortcomings of accomplishments in life. This may produce feelings of depression, remorse, and anxiety, or the desire to achieve youthfulness or make drastic changes to their current lifestyles. Many women who go through a midlife crisis might experience a period of self-reflection during which they ask themselves deep questions about their life and the track that they’re on. Self-reflection could lead to rash decisions, especially when you’re also experiencing mood swings. Going through menopause brings about a lot of physical changes to a woman’s body, and the drop in estrogen could make her feel as though she is going through constant PMS. On top of that, a woman might begin experiencing difficulty sleeping through the night, and she may lose her libido. Men face identity crisis,often spilling into family life. They feel hopelessly trapped in an identity or lifestyle they experience as constraining, fueled by an acute awareness of time passing. 58

The 70 function of the kidneys is to filter out waste from the blood and get rid of excess minerals and fluids thus maintaining the electrolyte balance of the body. When the kidneys lose the ability to filter the fluids and waste, it is called as Renal Failure.

Based on the onset pattern, Renal Failure can be of two types- Acute Renal Failure is when the kidneys start shutting down in the matter of few hours. It usually occurs in patients who are critically ill and already admitted in the hospital for treatment of some other disease. Chronic Renal Failure (also called as Chronic Kidney Disease, CKD) is the progressive and irreversible destruction of the kidney over few years. The major risk factors for Chronic Renal Failure are hypertension and diabetes. Some other risk factors include hereditary conditions like polycystic kidney disease or infections.

These programs are very much imperative for the rehabilitation of our suffering young ones.

COMMUNITY | Raipur Lifestyle Magazine he t ribe WORDS: GITA SUBRAMANIAN PHOTOGRAPHS: INTERNET The Murias, an indigenous tribe in Chhattisgarh, live in the north-central part of Bastar district, north of the Indravati River. The Murias are economically homogenous and keep a collective approach towards life. They are divided into five phratries: The Nagvans (Snake Race), Kacchimvans (Tortoise Race), Bakravans (Goat Race), Baghvans (Tiger Race) and Bodminkvans (Fish Race). The Murias are traditionally animists. As far as religious and social beliefs are concerned, the Murias have several totems and several gods of villages and tribal sub-groups. They are superstitious and believe in sorcery. They are not allowed to eat their totem animal, and must mourn it if one dies. The Murias are omnivorous and generally self-sufficient in producing and consuming dal, chickpeas and lentils,vegetables, rice. The Muria people drink a local form of liquor called Sulphi which plays a key role in social and ritual gatherings. 78

COMMUNITY | Raipur Lifestyle Magazine The Murias have progressive perspective towards marriage and life as a whole. The biggest example being the Ghotul. Ghotul – a commune or dormitory is basically a large hut bordered by wooden or earthen walls. The Muria embrace sexuality from a young age. Youths are sent for mixed-sex to Ghotul, where they live in close quarters and are expected to engage in sexual activities. A mandatory rule at a Ghotul is the girl’s consent. If the girl refuses, the boy cannot force or coerce her in any way and this results in zero sex related crimes. This shows the progressive perspective of this tribe. There are a variety of Muria dance, like the Hulki, the Har Endanna, the Karsana etc. The dances are performed for fun and enjoyment. The dance steps are quick and vibrant which adds an element of rhythm to the whole form. The Murias used to paint with minimal patterns using dots of white and red clay for adornment of Ghotul. But afterwards some painters started painting which depicted their life, traditions, danceforms. Mehru Muria is a famous name in the field of Muria paintings. With the advent of education and new ideas entering the traditional life of the Murias the community is scared of changes.But till then, the Murias and their Ghotul ritual remain a progressive act in a regressive society. 79
