    The American programme “Lost” was one of those unique shows which people talk and think about.  I don’t know what it was really about, as so much is surreal that I can’t be sure if this ‘really’ happened on the […]

    • I have tried to watch this series so many times, and I can’t seem to get past episode 5 in the first season. I’ve been told by so many friends and family that the series ends very strange, but luckily no one has spoiled it for me by telling me the ending.

      I keep telling myself that I’m going to start watching Season 1 from the beginning again, because it’s definitely a series where you can’t get up and go do something in the kitchen, or fix yourself a quick bite to eat while watching it, and be able to keep up on what’s going on. I think that’s what I did when I watched it the first few times.

      Maybe I’ll try watching it again soon, because I heard it was a good series, but just the ending was bad.

      • When you watch online, you can start, stop, and rewind. So you can see something… ‘what?’ and go back, see it again, stop, think, ‘get it’ then go on. It is a specifically puzzling series made to be puzzling….made to force you to think.

    Considered one of the best television series of all times, Breaking Bad is, in some respects, an uncomfortable viewing.  It is very well acted, very well written, but the plot is rather unsavoury, and the […]

    I’ve already dealt with moderation.

    In fact, I might have dealt it too hard a blow because we have gone from intense to none; and that has caused a bit of decline as various people publish very low quality items, […]

    • I absolutely agree. Having that enticement to be on the front page, motivates each one to write better so their article will be on the front page.

      I used to be on the front page on the famous defunct site. The more that I am there, the more that I am motivated to write substantially and something that many can relate so they can give their insights on the topic therein.

      Hopefully, admin will have this implemented too in the near future.

      • It is time to change the front page. There is nothing there to catch the eye. They can shrink what is there now, move it down, and put the best items on the front page to catch the eye. This would attract more readers, and members.

    • Oh..these are people who are psychologically weak. They need the company but of people who they like whether or not they like her. If others do not like them they interfere, they break the conversations between the people opening a new topic which will be sometimes totally irrelevant. By interfering in the middle of the conversation when two people are speaking with other they do break the conversation successfully but can never achieve anything important either for them or for others.

    • good article, it will help a lot of people who is having issue of hair loss

    • This is good to know about it. I have never come across this soup. In the Andhra Pradesh state of India, the sesame seeds are used in the preparation of Black Sesame balls which is made using jaggery. This is a very strong diet. Generally, only one piece will be eaten.Otherwise, it will cause more heat in the body.

      Another variety of balls is also prepared using While seeds. It will be very tasty and the seeds contain more oil in them.

      This is a very rich source of vitamins and is good for Bones and hair. The hair loss can be prevented taking 1 Black Sesame Balls. During summer, it is not advisable to take it and must be deleted from the wish-list.

    • I have never eaten black sesame seeds. I’m shocked to learn you can even make a dessert with them. It sounds like interesting food.

    • @treathy, yes , most of us take the white sesame seeds, in fact, the black one contains more vitamins if compared to the white one. If not mistaken, the black one is more difficult to get in the market and more pricey a little bit.
      The functions or the eating way of both are about the same, so we can put some fried black or white sesame seeds on top of the salads other than nuts too to meet it nice to smell and eat. More important, for consuming its nutrients.
      In fat, sesame seeds is cheaper if compared to the nuts because most of the nuts are from Tropical countries but not Asian countries, thus they are not our local nuts, except groundnuts. 😛
      @sivasubrahmanyam, the black sesame balls must be nice. Our Indian friends here make the ball with some green bean powder. You are right, variety of balls can be made and prepared with seeds/nuts powder.
      @Leo Mei, yes, it can help in hair loss problem.
