    bestwriter wrote a new post, Flowerless Flower Arrangements is a Work of Art 7 years, 11 months ago

    You really do not need flowers to have an arrangement to add freshness to your ambiance.  I do it all the time.

    I have several coloured leaves and even green creepers that have exotic looking leaves. Even when […]

    • looking nice i also want to decorate my house with flowers please help me in finding more ideas

    • This seems to be a special art and needs loads of creativity. It does look different and unique when seen. Art is making something out things which are thought of as waste or which people think it is no use of. As they have not come across such a thing in their lives. Such concepts however are not easily accepted by the conventional people. As people are averse to something new. But if they keep seeing such a thing again and again they will get used to it. As it costs nothing to make this art. It is a interesting article which has introduced a new concept which people can read understand and appreciate. Maybe they can also experiment with the same. This can be used for a change and adds variety to the art of decorating ones house. Keep up the good work. Look forward to more such articles.

      • Thank you for your appreciation. Rather than plastic flowers something fresh even if they are not flowers can change the ambiance of any set up.

    • I do not have to go far or buy anything for my arrangements. I have them all in my garden

      • Oh! I love gardening, and I was so amazed with person who have gardens around their houses. Gardening is not that easy, it requires proper caring to the plant, and I admire you for that.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Seniors and the Digital World 7 years, 11 months ago

    Seniors I notice have assumed that working on computers is only for youngsters. I am a senior and proved it otherwise. Spending a bit of time to get myself acquainted with it was all that was need for me to start […]

    • What you have told about seniors is very true. I think one of the reason they are not comfortable is that they find too many commands, websites, software, programs and too many service providers providing 101 different options to confuse the already confused individual. While there is a category of people like you who are willing to learn and be with the times by accepting the changes taking place, there will be more than 80 percent of the population in our country who have got used to a system in which they have spent all their life and they suddenly feel left out and see the system is outpacing them by leaps and bounds. Let us take the case of software version or a mobile phone the companies want to make money more than innovations and they want to thrust them on the market to run their respective shops and earn revenue in the process. As people grow and get aged they find it difficult to accept change and would like status quo. Now with economic reforms being thrust into peoples throats in India we are going to see more of these problems coming to the fore. This can be tackled as it is a blessing in disguise. The government has to invest by providing jobs to people in IT sector to teach and enable the rest of India to move forward. If they do this they can provide employment to youth and elders will be digitally educated. Orientation courses have to be conducted on a mass scale. I have written three to four articles about demonetisation and its impacct in the forum in Knowledge is Power Use It Wisely. A good article written by you touching on an important aspect of common mans life especially senior citizens.

      • You are right when you say upgrades are made just to earn and not to improve the life of anyone. Not many will use those additional features but just get those upgraded gadgets to compete with others.
        I have a basic mobile with no internet facility. I prefer my pc for that. The screen is so small and that could be a strain on one’s eyes. And now with digitisation everywhere I may have to change it to a smartphone most unwillingly though.

    Most organised package tours turn out to be great but our stay in London unfortunately  was very disappointing as we landed there during the week end and most of what we wanted to see was not available. All in […]

    • Felt good about reading the Eurostar. But we cannot see anything as we progress through the journey as it happens to be below the ocean bed. Now for so many years people have been travelling but till date nothing problematic has happened which speaks of the premium put on safety of the passengers. It is a modern technological wonder and if I am not wrong the only one in the world at that. No other project of that sort and magnitude has taken place. Travel to Europe if on individual travel is a different one compared to the groups. Here in the case of individual travel we can buy train tickets which are flexible and costs will be saved if travel is to an interior tourist spot in Europe. Eurail has different trains which offer excellent value for money and a good ambient scenic atmosphere for tourist travel.

      • I have always preferred conducted tours as everything is taken care of. We get to meet new people and also the tour conductor is with us which makes one feel comfortable.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Computers Have Taken Over Jobs of Secretaries 7 years, 11 months ago

    In the good old days there were not many avenues that were open for women in the jobs arena.  Most aspired for becoming secretaries or teachers.

    To become a secretary it was necessary that one was equipped […]

    • You have touched upon a very important subject. Yes computers have taken over jobs of secretaries and many others like accountant’s, record keepers, typists, telephone operators and others. This is one of the negative fallout’s of new technology arriving. Computers, tablets, cellphones with I phones have become like calculators today. They have taken away many of the jobs like the one mentioned above. Even the bank ATM is one such product. So is email. Today we find people sending money and gifts or payments and mails through electronic systems due to its many advantages. Now with new economic reforms in India this problem is only going to aggravate. Children in schools have computers but the knowledge is limited to a large extent and they do not want to pursue it till the tenth class as their are no marks for that subject and they do not count in the final tally. They end up like a blank page when they pass tenth class. Then go for computer courses paying huge fees in a volatile market. Many of their years thus get wasted. Educationists have to seriously look into this anomaly and do course correction. To get a good crop of very well computer literate youngsters.

      • Those computer courses teaching how to work on a computer are a waste. I bought those books – Windows for Dummies and picked up from there. A friend of mine guided me and that was it. Today I can do many things on my computer including creating movies and slideshows.

    For every ailment drugs are prescribed and most drugs have side effects. Those with high amount of bad cholesterol drugs that have niacin are prescribed but this drug too has many side effects.  I have a fruit in […]

    • A well researched article about health benefits of fruits especially about egg fruit. Nowadays there is high demand for organic products including fruits as awareness has increased among the people about the negative effects of medication. But people still continue using them as they are used to allopathic medication. I have come across some families which are used to other forms of treatment like Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and others. These medicines take time but the remedy is permanent whereas allopathy has instant results but with negative results in the long run. When we buy fruits it is preferable to but fruits which are available in plenty as it is their season. They will be fresh and healthy. I think your garden gives you a regular supply of good fruits all through the year.

    • I always have bumper crops not knowing what to do with them as there is no market here for our produce. But we enjoy these fruits which get ripe naturally unlike what one gets in shops.

    When compared to Singapore which has a size of  719.1 km²   and Nepal with a size of  147,181 km²  what we see in Singapore by way of progress is great compared to what we see in Nepal .  Since Nepal is blessed w […]

    • You are right. Nepal is a great place for tourists. I think it is famous for mountains and peaks.

      I would prefer enjoying the beauty of a skyscraper to a high mountain.
      We must be very closer to nature when it comes to our mental and physical health. Nature is our best friend. We must try to save and preserve it.

    • I prefer mountains 😀 although modernisation is needed to enrich our lifestyle.

    • I’m a nature lover so i really appreciate all the beautiful landscape scenery as well as the fresh air in the rural city, the breath taking views of the mountain, the sun set biding goodbye at the end of the day, the shimmering waters of the ocean, it was really a picture perfect and a sight to behold. I hope somehow i would like to be close to the nature to see its beauty beyond words.

    • It is only after reading posts of users like you that I have realised how beautiful Philippines is. You are lucky to be surrounded by mountains.

    • We shifted from a city to a semi rural town just to be with nature. Here it is peaceful and I have created a lot of greenery around me.

    • Each country has its charm and highlights. While countries like Nepal are ancient and have lots of pagodas and temples. In the case of Singapore it has developed well after independence. Its main income is shipping industry, tourism, infrastructure to name a few. In the case of Nepal a big part of it is preserved eternally in nature and that adds to the beauty of the place and the people are also the natives who have been living their for centuries unlike Singapore. Two different cities with contrasting styles. If you want peace of mind Nepal is a better place to be at. You seem to have lot of pleasant memories which is good.

      • Nepal is indeed a place a getaway when one wants peace. There is not much development but nature has gift enough to attract tourists. Singapore on the other hand is a well laid out country – also a place where a tourist can enjoy mostly the cleanliness around it.
