We had to draw water to the surface from 600 ft depth and a electric Submersible Pump of 7.5 HP was installed at our company's land site in a remote bereft area just 60 Km from Mumbai.This magnificent pump efficiently discharged 2.5 inch density flow of water to irrigate the parched land having features of more water output with minimum power bill.The cooling of the pump was remarkable even after continuous operation for long duration;it also had a ideal weight of 132 lbs and was perfectly designed for a longer life.The signs of malfunctioning was first noticed during the 3rd year and gradually it became weak and finally collapsed on the 20th of June 2012.All efforts were futile to restore the incredible pump which became a precious source of living to the folks who tended the land and generating additional income.The causes diagnosed for its abrupt demise was basically :- a) Abrasives in water resulting in excessive wear. b)Intake screen on the pump got blocked by the mud.c) Fluctuation and Incorrect voltage supplies by the local power station.
The Greek physicians of Alexandria school first discovered that our heart functioned as a Natural Pump that blood entering the heart like a Submersible Pump thrust blood from the veins into the arteries. The heart is a living ENGINE of "HOPE ", it pumps about 32 lacs liter of blood a year,travelling about a foot a second and courses down the atrial tree losing its velocity as it goes; throught life from womb until death the final silence the THROB of heart is always there.Many character are drawn from PURE HEART,KIND HEART,HALE AND HEARTY or BLEEDING HEART and even BOTTOM OF THE HEART epitomizing sincerity.
The hardening of arteries and deposit of debris ( Atherosclerosis Plaques ) eventually closes an artery.It has been an epidemic since early 1900 coronary heart disease claims million of life around the world each year, people are disabled,high economic cost involving medical expenses ,salaries and work day loss runs into billions.The heart of an inactive person has a poor pumping capacity limiting his ability to work or exercise for prolong periods,however, exercise improves the elasticity of arteries and also STIMULATE THE GROWTH OF ADDED BLOOD VESSEL TO THE HEART THESE COLLATERAL VESSELS PROVIDE ANOTHER ROUTE FOR BLOOD SHOULD THE CORONARY ARTERIES BECOME CLOGGED.Studies have revealed that even when some risk factors like gender,age,strong family history of heart disease can be altered and reduced by maintaining proper levels of cholesterol and other blood fats.
One should get into any form of exercise or play with great caution, the aim of any workout program is designed to improve the cardiovascular system is to attain 70 to 85 percent of maximum rate and sustain it for 15 to 25 minutes,the indicator is measured by doctors by Stress Test ,the optimum level a heart can beat and still supply adequate oxygen to working muscles.It may take weeks or months to work up to this level depending on one's physical condition, " NEVER BE COMPETITIVE OR OVER EXERCISE OR PLAY A RIGOROUS CHALLENGING GAME ALL OF A SUDDEN OR AFTER A LAY OFF". I could not tend the Submersible Pump but at least a Living Pump has the right to be looked after and kept away from being another" A BLEEDING HEART"

Nice analogy with the sump pump Appa.
ReplyDeleteVery nice - thank you
ReplyDeleteThanks sir, I remember our meeting. My wife Hema was happy about our chance introduction and subsequent visits.My blog ID is vaidyanathancv.blogspot.in
DeleteThanks. Infact your game of Tennis is very competitive and grueling must warm- up adequately before the game and refrain from covering the court extensively particularly after a long lay off - even not playing for 7 days I consider it beyond aerobic rhythm.
ReplyDeleteFully agree Anand, wonderful analogy and a superb last sentence Athimbar.
