    Do you buy vegetables, particularly green leafy vegetables in the grocery or in the market? Then if you happen to buy ones with long stems, you can have […]

    • Very useful article for garden lovers. Especially for those who would want to grow organic vegetable in their own garden. I used to put seeds of leafy vegetables and they used to grow in the garden without much effort similarly chilli, lady’s finger, brinjal and tomato too used to grow easily. Now we are having the season of mango’s and they are growing well and so do we have coconut trees and guava. If one likes to spend time and do gardening it is very good. Gardening also acts as a therapy.

      • Yes, gardening is so easy, and plants grow easily if the soil is good, along with the weather, and of course it needed to be tended regularly. It is indeed a stress-reliever.

    • It is very nice and useful to garden.

      • Yes, it is good to have your own mini garden out of cuttings from the vegetables you bought from the supermarket or market. Some vegetables like carrots, pechay (the one in the photo), beet roots, usually have some roots in it, so you have to cut the upper portion and leave an enough amount at the base with the roots and you can plant that stump. Soon it will grow.

    • We do not need to spray pesticides because eventually it will be absorbed by the plant and it will endanger our health. It will also poison the soil. Yes, gardening is a nice activity.

    • How I like to have veggie garden at home, but we have smaller space in the city unlike in the province.When I was a teenager, I liked to live in the province for I liked to plant fruits and vegetables, but when I graduated in college and acquired a property in the city the house and lot and work here too, I no longer had planted a single veggie and fruit.At home this time grown in the yard two grown ups moringa hehehehe. Every morning, as usual as a Filipino with east breakfast usually fish tinola and we add some moringa leave and tomatoes, onion, that always make our day fulfilled.

      • Hi Cely! You can plant too using pots or recycled containers, as others do in urban gardening. Anyway, you can plant in your province when you are on vacation.

    • Gardens so nice, my teens love it and set lot of hours, plated garden still should be given lots of work and sttnetion and this and that, like spending money for the soil and the plants it selves, but its good thing to enjoy at the end of the day or morning when you wake up hold you cup of hot chocolate and enjoy the view

      • Having your own vegetable garden is really nice. You feel a sense of accomplishment and it is really nice to watch the plants grow.

    • Gardening is really good, it can relieve you of stress, and produce your own food. But as much as possible, do not use pesticides because it is harmful to the body and to the environment.

    • Giving back to Society is something that has been there in societies earlier too. In West, all this is very systematic and Organized. Unfortunately in India, even some NGOs have had some dubious track records. People can misuse funds for good cause. One has to be careful.
      Sometimes, dubious actions cause formation of more distrust. It is up to the Governments as well as civil society to imbibe moral values so that such misdeeds are less, and people help the really needy in an empowering way- not help beggars by giving alms, but may be providing them avenues for education, jobs and self employment.

    • to some limit yea you can say some of the this issue is related to joulousy and wishing to have things that others have it and feel greedy, that is one reason but not the only, work make you stressed , cowoerks make you stress, love make you strss, rude poeple at street make you stress and so on long list

    • Others have guts and others do not have better wait for the right timing than to gamble, very risky.Nice post friend, very real.

    • You are very correct about anxiety-driven desires we try to get but can’t have. In a way, persistence and determination, with positive outlook, can reverse those anxiety-triggering let-downs from within and from those around us. That’s why I stir away from whiny, complaining, fault-finding, negative people.

      Surround yourself with positive encouraging people that will help you experience the joy of achieving the goals we want to accomplish in having.

    Mahesh wrote a new post, Diamonds Are They Worth Buying 7 years, 8 months ago

    Most of the people out there in the world are chasing diamond all the time. I have seen that diamond and gold has lot of fascination. People are going to spend a lot of money to buy them. I have not seen not a […]

    • Diamond as the saying goes, is a girl’s bestfriend. Indeed, it is if a diamond is given as a gift by someone who likes you. But not when you have to buy it yourself because it is so expensive that if you are an ordinary employee, it will take you years to be able to save for a diamond.

      Though, it is said that a diamond’s price increases as years pass by. Just like antique things, their value would go up never go down. It’s actually a good investment.

    • I for one do not like gold, diamonds and the like for the purpose of personal use neither for me not my family. Even my children also seem to have the same bent of mind. I feel in today’s it is good not to wear such things and roam around be it any country in the world. It is like wearing a Mala or necklace of currency and walking on busy streets. There is always risk to like. I have heard of people whose legs, hands and ears have been chopped to get a hold of this metal which they were wearing.

      Coming to the commercial aspect of it I suggest one does trading in the bullion market. It is good to trade in units of gold which one can buy and trade as it is in a dematerialized form so there is no risk for ones life and gold and metals like them have a cycle of peaks and downs one has to know where to enter into the market and be there for the long run if one wants to profit it. Diamonds are in my opinion not to be had by all and sundry. Each one of us has a unique diamond which we are supposed to keep. As some diamonds are unlucky for some. So the wearer must be careful to know which of the stone is good for him or her. Thanks for the share.

    • There is a song that is entitled Diamond Are Forever, hehehehe, if I am only rich, I wanna buy diamond, the real one not fake one.Yes, you are right, only the wealthy can afford to buy diamond and have it shown to their friends in the high strata of society, to be famous and not to be robbed and murdered hehehe. That is money and sued mostly by robbers/ thief/ burglars.

    • Worth buying? “Worth” means a value has been attached to something. Diamonds definitely have value. They are used for more than just pretty pieces of jewelry. So my answer to the question is: “Yes! They are worth buying.” But they are not worth stealing. Ever watch the movie “Marathon Man”?

    • Most women dream of owning a diamond, who doesn’t?

      But did you know that an experiment was made way back in 1796 by Smithson Tennant, a British Chemist, that diamond is not forever?

      He experimented on proving that diamond can vanish and will just turn into a carbon dioxide?

      He burned a diamond by using a magnifying glass and the sun. When it is already burning he put the diamond in a liquid oxygen.

      The bubbles formed and the
      diamond eventually vanished into
      thin air or it just turned into carbon
      dioxide.

      So the phrase,

    • It is old fashion now even the rich care for other things than diamond such as cars, travelling, going ou parties and more things that are not for jewelary also they care for fashion and bags and beauty icons more than this, owning houses villas living here and there is more importnat than jewellary also
