I think in the countries like India, managing the trees is an Art, a social activity, a welfare activity. Every care needs to be taken for the maintenance of tree. The technology mentioned in the blog is available not in all countries. Only a few countries can afford to adopt this technology.

Many trees have been killed and uprooted here to give way to massive housing and commercialization of agricultural land. It’s sad to see them go little by little. There are local mandates but overall it does nothing to conserve much of what we used to have.

When a strong typhoon hit our province, the big and old mango tree beside the garage turned into a snack house, was uprooted by the strong wind. Good thing, it didn’t hit any part of our house since it is far from it. Though it damaged the roof of the eatery and my sister had it repaired.

Going back to the old mango tree, my father hired two men to saw the big trunk of the old mango and had them made into just round stubs of trunk and now a nice ornament by the lawn.

Then they carefully cut the rest and had it as woods for cooking at our dirty kitchen.

Big trees need the expertise of persons who are into cutting trees, lest they will just be cut into woods to be used for cooking and it will be a waste of the beautiful craft that can be made from it.

Perfect timing again! Got my first confirmed payment so I can tell others LB pays and now … murmuring. Guess I’ll just have to “wait and see”.

I like it that way because duplicate posts can endanger the site and even have their Adsense Account deleted.

I absolutely agree. We should be vigilant for those who have plagiarized posts and report them so this site will be rid of spammers and plagiarizers.

This is what happened also to Bubblews. Because of the spammers, ultimately it closed down. Some can really be cheaters and greedy. They just want the money but won’t wreck their brain a bit to make their own posts.

My partner in New Zealand is a happy loner. He prefers to be alone with his pet cat now.He has a son and is separated from his dad.But what I noticed that there is always association of word blue in his emails, Skype, Facebook, plus, his clothes ,brief, Polo-shirt, t-shirt, pajamas, pants, jogging pants, all in blue. I wonder why he likes but. I never dare to ask him why , but all I know is , he is happy to be alone.In fact, he changed his mind from being marriageable to non-marriageable. That made me sick when he told me that he changed his mind to remain a non-marrying type.I think those who like to live alone pretend to be happy when actually not happy. Man is a social being and he needs someone to talk to. Having gadgets and other things never equal the happiness felt when there is human to be along with, to be happy with and to share some thoughts, problems and heartaches.

All I can say is, I can never live alone. I will be lonely of alone living in a house. I need someone to be with. It is not enough to just watch TV and do on line activities, so weird, but I cannot blame those whose preference is to live alone. They are loners and I believe they are cowards to face challenges of life just like my foreigner partner.

Living alone is an art This is the real meaning of life. Living alone is a challenge. One who overcomes it can take up any kind of challenge and achieve it with a great ease and comfort
Yes, I agree with you that there are many who are living alone and are happy. Living alone is not a sin. If we say that man is a social animal and he needs some company in life it does not mean that he should be in the company of somebody who will be hammering around him and picks up quarrel with him It is better not to have such company
In general, most of the people will have a company But, if by chance if one had to live alone he should equip himself to face the situation There are many things available nowadays. We can make a life quite meaningful living alone
One can do yoga, one can visit ground and watch the games, one can spend time watching T.V. Meditation is another way of spending time which gives good opportunity to realize the things in life Attending foreign languages class is another way of spending time nicely There we will have different types of people we can interact with. Spending time with like-minded people on Fb and other social media sites is also a good way of spending time lonely. There are many ways. One need not worry if one has to live alone

Oohh The joy of christmas, who doesn’t like the sound of carols. If anything carols are what get me into the Christmas mood when I hear a song in radio that imemediately stirs me up to start looking for my old cassettes that played Christmas carols because those songs from way back are the original thing so it brings out Christmas in a more natural way than what we hear nowadays. Its true that nowadays Christmas stats early some people even start it as early as the last week of November in preparation for the festive season. The only bad thing about this early celebration is true fact that when the actual day comes people are bored already so the day usually just comes and passed by nothing much is done.

What you have said here is universal. That change of scene is felt everywhere. But I keep to the old traditions and quite enjoy being that way.

Thanks for posting. Reshared to my foodie blog.

If you like coconut and jaggery this is a great snack. You must be having an interesting food blog. How is it faring?

I think there is some truth in your saying. Once the conifer branch is cut and after a day it becomes a dead wood But, it is coming as a tradition. Bringing the entire family under a tree is a great idea It is this idea that has to be viewed with appreciation. A sense of togetherness is involved in decorating the Christmas tree. No doubt the tree will be decorated with many other items also. But, one has to honor and appreciate the interest shown in decorating the tree
Even in the Hindu religion, there is a similar tradition. Here the people worship an AMLA tree during KARTIKA MASAM
They actually have to worship the Amla tree lighting a lamp under it. All relatives are invited and they dine as a group sitting under a tree
During Kartika Poornima, it will be followed very meticulously. They name it VANABHOJAN.
But, in cities, it is possible to perform such activity.
So, most of the people purchase a branch of Amla Tree and place it in the prayer hall. They light a lamp under it. They arrange all food items under it. Sit around it and dine along with all the invited guests. After the ritual the branch has little value and it will be thrown out.

Christmas is one of the most important religious ceremony on earth because it reminds all of us Jesus Christ’s arrival and departure from this fickle world. In modern age every religious ceremony has become the part of old tradition and lost its religious spirit due to our materialistic thoughts.

We must ponder over the importance of Christmas Tree reveals the mysterious death of Jesus Christmas. I think all religious festivals must be made with full pomp and show to make alive the dead spirit of religion all over the world.

Sorry to hear about your father but I am sure he will be happy if you continued the tradition. And as for relatives that drift is felt the world over.

It is time to thank God through our Lord Jesus Christ who had accepted to died for our sin and rose again on the third day, so raising the Christmas tree because we are celebrate the the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is worthy to be doing.
Any living soul who know the important of Christ’s coming to this world will raise Christmas tree for Him

A thought has just crossed my mind why do people put up Christmas trees and decorate them? I know I am one of those people because it was a family tradition during Christmas to cut a tree and get it into the house then decorate it with all sorts of ornaments. Come to think of it we never really use to think about thedudus or aunts for those who may not understand dudus. I remember my brothers going around theestate looking out for a nice tree that they would cut down and bring to the house regardless of whether they had ants or not. Anyway at least I can say that we never had any issues with the ants they were clean trees. Once the tree was in the housewe would go out of our way to decorate it with lights and cotton wool to bring out the feeling of snow, the little balls and the star on the top of the tree. Back in the days having a Christmas tree was a big deal so if you didn’t have that would make you feel like Christmas will not be nice. So it was like a mandatory thing back in the days. Nowadays this things are not so much in people’s minds.

Christmas is one of the major religious gala of the followers of Jesus Christ but people clever priests has turned it into mere a tradition and thus Muslim Eid, Hindus’ religious festival and Christian’s Christmas all have lost it religious spirit in broader sense. Hollow hearts are making religious festival all over the world that is why moral sins are prevailing on earth all over the world.
