My Timing Is Perfect

Question the orthodox said sir CV Raman. How many times we hear everyone question the orthodox? Plenty! However do we question to really know the reason behind it? I still question, i never stop. So, here is a small area i am sharing on the food related habits followed down traditions. With some convincing views on why it was followed. Let me split food as follows - Cooked food short life - which will start perishing in few hours. Cooked food longer life - shelf life of foods which range between months to years Raw food short life & raw food long life Raw food long life Grains such as rice, wheat or pulses, coconut, oils are a few examples of foods whos shelf life is longer than months. Yet these are not cooked food. Pickles are not cooked but marinated. They taste best when marinated like wine. Raw food short life Vegetables and fruits ( i am a vegan and hence examples shared on those lines) are good raw foods whos shelf life is less than a week. Cooked food long...

Every book for the mom to be, or every website that i have browsed have loads of information about pregnancy and about 6 weeks post delivery. What happens after that, there are loads of books and information on parenting. What now, where can new moms get the energy they loose? I have questioned a lot of traditional methods to find answers, and still questioning. When i get more convincing answers i will add on here. But for now certain basic info which i would like to share is here. Mother should have calm mind and lots of help to recover. The raw truth is, babies are parasites till they start eating on their own. So moms health is very important. 1. Calcium Pls include calcium in your intake. Olden method is sunambu (something like lime stone) in beetle leaf. The sunnambu has calcium in it. If not available ask you doctor to give u supplements. 2.   Digestion Anything a mom eats has to be digested well, this is to avoid curdling burps by the baby. Beetle leaf is...

Are we too serious about our lives that we forget to smile everyday? I asked a few of my contacts to share with me one instance that brought smile for the day. Few of them never bothered to reply, a few of them replied with ease and the rest of them found it hard to think of the fact even if they did smile for that day and gosh last category did not smile for that day at all. Since my school days i keep asking a few questions to myself, one such is this - what did i enjoy most and smiled today. To my surprise the simplest thing in this world would have bought me that joy and laughter. Buying anything for self or others may still not bring that joy. So does money. I hope i have kindled that thought in some of them to live the day with the intention to bring that smile on your face. I am sure it will in the long run, bring a thousand watt effect on your face. Wishing you a happy smily new year :)

What made me write again after a long time was this following message I received. While i have not checked the authenticity of the african word - ubuntu. I still decided to share this out here. An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids of African tribal children. He placed a basket of fruits near a tree. He made them stand 100 meters away. Announced that who ever reaches first would get all the fruits in the basket. When he said ready steady go.. They all caught each others hands and ran towards the tree together and divided the fruits among them and ate the fruits and enjoyed it. When the anthropologist asked them why they did so? They said " unbuntu" Which meant how can one be happy when all the others are sad? Unbuntu in their language means 'iam because, we are!' After reading this message, my mind ran many folds in todays way of living and teaching children in school. First thing i hear parents tel to children..  Eat fast lets see who finishe...
