Very useful inputs regarding the first subject mentioned in India it is a banned substance. I do not know whether medical council of India has allowed the sale of the same for medical purposes. I have not heard of it in news papers or other places till date. They fear that it could be sold across the counter or be misused.

Depression could be cured through medical marijuana this time could be bought over the counter hehhe.Those depressed persons do not help themselves. They must fight it through eating foods that prevent depression like liver, spinach, cauliflower, nuts and beans.

I concur with what you say and agree all of us are prone to some or the other form of depression. Which creeps silently without our knowledge. As we are too busy to find time to take care of our health. The problem is our style is also unhealthy and sleep is compromised for the sake of money. This does no good to us and our…[Read more]

@Mahesh

True agree with what you say. Since yesterday I have posted three posts the last one about Indian music I just blogged it a few minutes ago. It takes around 1 hour for me to prepare a blog of more than 1200 words. I think a mix of different options it the right approach. One should not get fatigued by doing something. In my opinion infact…[Read more]

The White Tiger by Arvind Adiga,

The God of Little Things by Arundhati Roy as works which I like best.

Frankly speaking, while my school time Hindi was good, and I did use to read a lot of Hindi magazines like Sarita,  Saptahik Hindustan etc, the only worthwhile Hindi books of literature I recall were by my aunt and uncle who were into Hindi teaching in colleges. One was ‘Sita Ka Kanyadaan’ about current issues affecting common people in India.

Looks like a well written book.

I managed to write 3 posts for 1 week last week and before. But it was kind of draining for my body and brain. And I think that’s one reason I just have to slow down on 1 post a day and more on the comment and the post. So it may be taking a lot of my time for now. I may have to try other ways to get engaging. For better I guess commenting is the…[Read more]

@Lakhi

The articles should not be published on some other site, face book or anywhere else. It should only be there on literacybase website. If you have it somewhere else too it should be deleted there and then submitted here. I do not have any blog of my own as of now as even I am learning too.

@acelawrites

As far as I know choose images which are free in google avoid images of any book or magazine or website which you may find there and check if we have to pay too as for some I am not sure but think something of that sort is there. According to me if we are giving credit to the person or company whose image it is I think it should not…[Read more]
