Anar Poems's Parables
Literature produces human existence and identity. Every change that happens in the society, the basis for progress and the norms are revealed through literature in the creative world. The literature is promoting itself by putting forward theories such as structuralism, modernism, postmodernism, feminism and Dalitism. Women's writings, which have been suppressed in social life and art literature, are gaining intensity in many literary fields such as stories, poems, and essays. It can be seen that the voice of the modern woman is not the voice of the common sense of the male social system, but the voice of the woman. Not only in the society but also in the literary field, female characters have been a concept. Women take up poetry to free themselves from the domineering shackles of society, to fight for their rights, to express their feelings in print and to create aesthetics in subtle language. Some poets of the new generation consider the aesthetics of darkness as a further development and create poetry in that color.

Secure Data Sharing in Cloud Computing using Revocable Storage Identity- Based Encryption
Nowadays regularly use cloud services in our daily life.There are various services provided by cloud such as a service, Platform as a service, and Infrastructure asa service. The used to keep our data,documents, and files on cloud. The data that store may be Personal, Private, secret data. So must be very sure that whatever the cloud service we use that must be secure. Cloud computing Provides number of services to client over internet. Storage service isone ofthe important services that people used now days for storing data on network so that they can access their data from anywhere and anytime. With the benefit of storage service there is an issue of security. To overcome security problem the proposed system contain two levels of security and to reduce the unwanted storage space de-duplication[1,2] technique is involved. To increase the level of security one technique is a session password.Session passwords can be used only once and every time a new password is generated.To protect the confidentiality of sensitive data while supporting de-duplication[1,2]the convergent encryption technique has been proposed to encrypt the data before outsourcing,Symmetrickey algorithm uses same key for both encryption and decryption.In this paper,I will focus on session based authentication for both encryptions for files and duplication check for reduce space of storage on cloud

A study on the prevalence of smoking among rural men aged 18 years and above and their Knowledge and Attitudes on Anti-tobacco measures imposed under âThe Cigarettes and other Tobacco Products Act 2003â in Vadagarai Subcenter Area.
INTRODUCTION :
Tobacco is the most important preventable cause of death
and disease among adults. According to estimates made by the WHO,
currently about 5 million people die prematurely every year in the world
due to the use of tobacco, mostly cigarette smoking. More important is
the fact that this epidemic of disease and death caused by tobacco is
increasing very rapidly.
By 2030 it is expected to kill more than 9 million people per year;
half aged 35-69. The epidemic is increasingly affecting developing
countries, where most of the worldâs smokers (84% or 1 billion) live.
Close to half of all men in low-income countries smoke daily and this has
been increasing. Many deaths and much disease could be prevented by
reducing smoking prevalence.
Tobacco kills a third to a half of all those who use it. On an average, every user of tobacco loses 15 years of life. Total tobacco attributable deaths from Ischaemic Heart Disease, Cerebrovascular Disease (Stroke), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and other
diseases are projected to rise from 5.4 million in 2004 to 8.3 million in
2030, almost 10% of all deaths worldwide. More than 80% of these deaths will occur in developing countries. On an average Tobacco causes one death every 6 seconds and it accounts for 1 in ten adult deaths world wide.
In India, Tobacco consumption continues to grow at 2-3% per
annum. The influences on tobacco smoking in India may be different
from those in the West. India is the second most important tobacco
consumer in the world in which smoking of conventional cigarettes
accounts for only 25 percent. Most people consume tobacco in the form
of non-cigarette items such as hand-rolled bidis, chewing etc. India's antitobacco
legislation, first passed at the national level in 1975, was largely
limited to health warnings and proved to be inefficient. In 2003, The
Central Government passed the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products
Act (COTPA) applicable to all tobacco products.

high (generally exceeding 50%) from almost all parts of India.
3. The tobacco consumption is more in rural than in urban areas.

prohibiting smoking in all public and work places from October 2,
2008. Lack of studies on awareness regarding COTPA 2003.

ranks first among the states. A total of 9,648 people have been
fined and a whopping Rs.11,42,950 collected as fine from the state
for violating the ban on smoking in public places since October 2nd
2008. Delhi stands a distant 2nd with 3,671 people being fined for
smoking in public places. Public awareness of the ban on
smoking in public places was very low and as a result, there were
widespread violations.

than the national average ,more common in illerates than literates.
Majority of them knew and favouring the act. Among smokers, most
of them felt that the act didnât had any impact on their smoking
habit. Therefore, preventive steps like behavioural change
communication, fiscal measures and further more strong enforcement
of the act will be needed to decrease the prevalence further
