After every major difficulty for the body or for the country all you need at the end of the day is a restart!
A clean slate to start all over again, better and more productive!
Just like how most of the electronic devices can get back to normal by a simple restart, won’t it be amazing if we can do the same with ourselves after a major challenge??…
Then again, have you ever wondered as to how most of the problems in your phone or computer gets solved when you restart them!?
That’s literally the first thing you do when your computer or phone and now the smart TV or the Fire stick in your TV! They start acting odd or get stuck or freeze, the first solution which is often the best is to restart!
There is this nifty little device called the amazon echo auto which gets nutty sometimes! You scream at it and it does not work! Even the troubleshooting wizard in the guide book says; switch off your device for ten seconds and restart! And lo! Like magic it works most of the time!
The same principle in some way works in your heart when it’s defibrillated and restarted!
Now as far as electronics are concerned the restart works because of so many reasons…
Components like DRAM lose their electrical charge so a restart helps in clearing out temporary files and buggy background processes, which helps the device run faster and removes software “cruft”.
By restarting, the system resets its hardware and software to a clean, working state, which allows it to get rid of errors.
A restart can also re-establish network connections, Wi-Fi channels, and can clear hardware-related malfunctions.
It is similar for the human heart too!
When someone suffers cardiac arrest, the heart often quivers uncontrollably (ventricular fibrillation) instead of pumping blood.
The shock depolarizes the heart muscle, ending this chaotic, useless rhythm.
It acts like rebooting a computer, providing a pause that gives the heart a chance to reestablish a healthy sinus rhythm!
A literal SECOND CHANCE! That is restart! Of course machines can get many such chances; your body may get maybe one or two! Make them count…
Have fun but within limits! Like movies with Kovai Sarala!
Now get ready for a new day!
Subh ratri…
