Had to visit a store today. I was parking the car outside a society, next to the society gate across the shop. It was in no way hindering the gateway. The security guard started yelling at my mom very rudely to park it somewhere else. I did & later saw an auto in the same spot.
I didn’t mind that he wanted me to park somewhere else but I didn’t like the tone he used with my mom. It was very disrespectful. Similar incident happened when I went with my friends to have dinner outside on Saturday.
This time it wasn’t parking. We were just standing outside a complex and talking in the walkway. There were people walking freely across. There was no way a car could even enter there. The office in the building was closed. & the guard started yelling at us to go talk elsewhere.
All four of us were girls. Both times i asked the men to calm down and tell me what was wrong. Both times they continued to yell rudely.
Next time on women’s day- Honestly, we just want some basic decency and respect. Keep your gifts to yourself. Progress is in the mentality.
I wrote a small story to explain #ImmuneResponse in #COVID19 to better understand what happens in our bodies. Sharing it here. #Tweetorial
We’ll pretend that the virus is an intruder while our house represents our body. The door of our house is a portal of entry. /1
When an intruder enters our house, we would arm ourselves with whatever we can & try to fight him. We’re not experts. So our response may be amateur, our weapons may not even be sufficient to beat him. This is similar to the innate response.
Next, we’d call the cops.
The innate immune response is non specific. It’s the first to act. Cells involved in this response would present the antigen to cells responsible for acquired immunity. We can call this “handing it over to the experts” as for the cops in our story.
