I think the best way is to eat natural, fresh foods like fresh vegetables and fruits. We ought to take care of food combinations like not eating milk with fish, or meat.
Avoid curds with pickles.
Do not eat too much refined flour products like cake,pastries, samosas(Indian fried stuff).
Consumption of Pizzas, burgers ought to be within…[Read more]

@IchchheMrityu  I am now relishing this forum very much. So much that I can’t resist coming back here, discussing, commenting and may be starting newer discussions in near future!  🙂

Well, I do have links and I share on twitter.

@tarasquirrel yes books can have more details. Movies have to cut out some part or shorten it. Exceptions can be in shorter length stories. In cases like “3 idiots” – an adaptation of “Five Point someone” by Chetan Bhagat, the movie was almost as good as the novel, and in some places better.
But of course, it also depends on the script writer,…[Read more]

@lovern Looks like you people need to exert pressure on your authorities to lay stronger roads, may be through social media, as well as through your elected representatives.
It is a fact that in many developing nations, including India there is big corruption in infrastructure projects and sub-standard material is often used to make more profits.

I also have read “Surely you are joking Mr Feynman” way back in 1995, the year I moved to college from school.
I too have read some serious and non-fiction books, but I have more of a liking for fiction and thrillers.
By the way I am also involved in writing a story series on LB.

Yes @ichchhemrityu
I would have talked about a lot more books but limited to some recent and one older one.
Yes, I have read Dan Brown works too.

Thanks for sharing your response @bodyandbrain

@swalia some good tips- I was not aware of such point system. I write longer for my story series or other stories I have written, while some of my posts just nearly touch the 300 word limit mark.

Well, I have not seen this- may be you can point this to the Support- this could be a bug.

Well I can talk about a lot of books, but will restrict to a few only:

1)The current one I am reading is “The Sigma protocol” by Robert Ludlum- it is a mystery thriller involving spies and some cunning international Business syndicates who can go to any extent to protect a secret, which if revealed can cause upheavel in many countries.

2)Naked…[Read more]

I think the best way is to respect women, and maintain a distance, especially those who are not our mother, wife or sister.
Even with mother, wife or sister, we need to regard their feelings and not be aggressive or dominating with them.

@cmoneyspinner this movie is based on the real life of Indian player and captain M.S.Dhoni, who recently stpped down as Indian cricket team’s ODI and T-20 teams, and has been one of the most successful Indian test and One Day captains.
