    • Love some of your thoughts on things

    • I pray regularly after taking my bath. I usually get up at 4.30 and wash my face. After that sit for prayer. There will be a weed mat on which I sit and pray with open brain and closed eyes. I pray for 15 minutes chanting the name which vibrates within me. I pray for others as I need not pray for my family as His blessings are always there. I do not go to any Church or Prayer Hall. praying is an Art and one should learn it from elders only.

    • I remember a passage on a prayer booklet which i often carry before it says “TAKE TIME TO PRAY FOR IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL THING ON EARTH” Pray without ceasing. When you pray, say what you mean and mean what you say! For God governs the world but prayers govern God. Truly, prayer is an act of meditation where we can be close to God, build our faith and persevere in trials. In prayer we find peace, solace, and solitude. Have you ever experience feeling down and lost and the only remedy to do is to pray? It’s very soothing to pray with all your heart, to give in the hands of God all the hurt that you felt, the sadness of loneliness, and the burden that your hiding in your heart. No one can give you such peace but God alone. Man can always turn back on you drag you down but God will always be there for you no matter what and will stick on you till the very end. Like a loving Father who always wait for her prodigal daughter to bring back to him once again…

    “If you tell the truth, you don’t need a long 
    memory “ – Jess Ventura

     Indeed, it is difficult to keep the your or someone 
    else secrets in the closet for a long time.

    You need to  […]

    • Telling the Truth is good for one’s own health. One need not keep many secrets in his mind letting them out gives lot of relief. Here telling the truth relating to your personal matters and observation but not the secrets revealed to you by your friends. Friends reveal certain secrets to you reposing trust in you. If you do not keep them as secrets and go on telling and revealing them to others you will lose the confidence of your friends. Even in the hardest circumstances the principle of ‘HOW TO TELL THE TRUTH’ should be followed leaving the understanding to the listener.

    • Its a tough call- hiding some truths can be counter productive while other facts ought to be kept away.

      • Yes. This is a tough job. But we should remember that people reveal certain secrets, whether personal or general to you so that you will not make them public. But if you let them out there is something you are losing. This is the confidence of your friend/s. Even in the painful odds, you have to maintain and keep it as secret only. The truth is truth for you but not for others. Just one has to take a tough stand to this extent. This is followed more when you move up in the social ladder or professional ladder. This will be followed more in Police and Intelligence Departments.

    • Well, I am a person who could be trusted and secrets I know never ever leak. That is how I keep my friendship last. You are more than honored if you could keep a secret. The trust and confidence of anyone else to your couldn’t be bought by money. And the integrity you have had in your life is unblemished, untarnished. I would be very happy if someone tells me of his secret. It increases my self-esteem for being treated that way, of being a trusted person in spite of their many friends they have.

    • There are secrets should be keep confidential and there are secrets should be known. Confidential or not, I believe there will always be a perfect time to reveal everything. We don’t need to rush everything to anything. We don’t need to force ourselves to keep it or to reveal. It’s always the right time that commands the situation. If it is not to be reveal, maybe that is what should be. But if it meant to be known, time will find a way.

      • There are no secrets like confidential in nature and general category. A secret is always a secret. As you said rightly one time or the other it has to come out and if the situation demands they would come out. Ok. Accepted. But we should be the source to reveal them. Be a good listener. Yes time will definitely find a way but you should not be a way for the time.

    • My respected readers, give me your ears, listen what I say and keep my saying in your memory lock so that your future be bright green and flourish like grape wine around the twigs.

      Keep in mind, the whole world is truth, God is one truth, we have parents, truth, we were children, truth, the tree is green, truth, the sun rises in the East, truth, nightingale sings, truth, we have brothers and sisters, truth….

      But the problem lies here is that when we reject the naked truth it is called lie in modern term. Otherwise there is no lie on earth. God has created the whole truth, truth and truth and nothing else.

      So far as the secret is concerned, I say that the secret are secret still as no one can tell where live the angels on earth, where soul flies, what is heaven and hell….what we read about all the things I mention are guesses n reality.

      The power of magic secret is secret, the power of the soul of earth silence is secret, the process of making in earth is secret, how child making is created in uterus is secret…

      those who say tat we keep secret are those who make sins and keep them secret or we may say they hide their weaknesses from others. What is truth what some does in day light and what is secret what some one does in darkness.

      According to laws of nature none can hide truth it will appears today or tomorrow.

    • I had it last year in Hiking Restaurant. This is known for all sea foods and other dishes. I took my children. They appreciate the soup very much. I just tasted it a spoon. It was good. I was eager for my Manchuria. As there was some more time I wanted to give a try. It was good. The chief added some pepper and I liked it very much. It was served hot. The month was December and it was very chill outside. This is the perfect combination to enjoy a Tofu.

    • I have never done some good tofu in our dinner or breakfast, maybe it time for me to have some. Your recipe seems good to do and I just hope kids would love the tofu taste because sometimes I am not convinced about the taste of tofu. But I know its just the perfect recipe to have a good and delicious tofu food.

    • It is nice but difficult in eating as I think but other people what think I do not know. i will have to make it to taste it at home I just combined soy milk and papaya together with sago pearls to present a lovely and healthy dessert for my guests at home.

      You really don’t have to spend a lot of time making this dessert. What you need is to cook the sago pearls for about 10 minutes and use a melon baller or a smaller rounded measuring spoon to scoop balls out of the papaya. Sounds easy, right?
      It is easy toprepare as

      Cut papaya into half lengthwise and remove seeds. Cut each half in half again. Insert a melon baller into the papaya half.

      Twist the scoop around completely, cutting out a perfect ball. Place the papaya balls in the fridge for later use.

      Rinse sago under running water in a sieve till the water runs clear. Drain well and pour into a pot of 1200ml boiling water. Let it keep boiling for 5 minutes and turn of the heat.

      Cover the sago pearls with a lid for another 5 minutes or until you see the sago pearls are clear with white dots. Pour out sago pearls into the sieve and rinse with cold water, drain well.

      Then combine the papaya balls, soy milk and cooked sago pearls together in a large serving bowl, stir well and chill until ready to serve.

      Alternately pour soy milk into individual serving cups, add some papaya balls and a tablespoon of cooked sago pearls and stir well before serving.

    • It sounds like the name of a pretty lady. I love cakes but do not know how to make them. One day I took all the ingredients. Mixed them thoroughly well. Then I poured enough oil, put it on an open fire, added the dough to the oil. I then covered the cake to bake. I went for a walk. When I came back, there was much smoke and the house was almost on fire. The cake was burnt but the inside was uncooked

    • You are very right. As more and more women are working outside homes, it has become very convenient to eat out. Children also prefer to try cuisines of different countries and it is very difficult to prepare all these things at home.But still, all things should be in moderation and eating out once or twice a week can be okay if at other times, we prepare and eat home made meals.

    • @peacpurple, eating outside does a lot of fun and dies a lot of money spending nonsense foods. We are advised by nutrition experts to cook our foods for we know much the value of what we are cooking than eating outside foods that may harm our health. I noticed that those who always eat at Jolibee after few months their body expanded ,Lol. Simply because the foods they prepared contain lots of fatty foods and oil that sometimes cause LBM. Try to squeeze their fries, oil comes out.

    • Eating out generally is due to

      1.saving of time 2. Easy to taste various varieties 3. for a change

      When husband and wife both are employed then there is no alternative to relay on ‘TAKE AWAY’s. Even if the food is cooked at home, at least once in a week for change sake, eating out is acceptable as there is a scope for tasting varieties of food stuff also. But it should be in minimum frequencies. Frequent visits will definitely spoil the health of family members. Once in a week, I prefer to eat in Punjabi Dhabas. There I prefer only 2 Masala kulchas with Kaju Butter masala which will be quite sufficient for a dinner.

    • It is Amazing how many people Take Eating out as a Treat. They view it as Something Special. Least do view Know of the ruin they are causing.

      Meals Prepared in the house are both nutritious, Fresh and Take into consideration the calories Taken. Most of the Food out are not even Fresh. It is Better to avoid such.

      My Suggestion is that if It is a must to Take your family out then prepare your Food and Take them for a Picnic or order your Food in Advance

    • This is very informative. I do a lot of household Chores but I capture back all the lost calories when I sit down with my cup of mid morning tea and eat a slice of brownie or cake:)

    • Exercise is a must for everyone though most of us don’t like to do them or even take the time to try. At least I try to do most of the exrcises that you have mentioned above. The one I did not know works to burn calories is chopping vegetables. Even though I tend to do a lot of cooking and chopping I didn’t know am doing myself some good. Brisk walking is my favorite because I do this like literally everyday for like 45 minutes though I feel tired after walking am hapo that some calories have been shed off which is a good thing.

      When you exercise, you use muscle. This helps build muscle mass, and muscle tissue burns more calories — even when you’re at rest — than body fat. According to Wharton, 10 pounds of muscle would burn 50 calories in a day spent at rest, while 10 pounds of fat would burn 20 calories.

      “Studies have shown that with increases in exercise time, the elevation in resting metabolic rate is prolonged,”

    • For those reluctant to do their household chores, the knowledge you might burn a significant amount of calories might just be the motivation you need.

      Boredom is more often than not associated with cleaning and DIY, however the vigorous exercise that goes into it is often forgotten. A jog or spin class is not the only way to burn calories and lose weight, after all.

      The home improvement service Plentific rounded up how many calories you burn each hour from doing the following chores based on an adult’s weight of 150lbs (10.7 stone).

      Cleaning

      For light cleaning jobs like dusting or hanging up clothes, you can burn 171 calories in an hour. So if you add in some more strenuous cleaning methods like hovering, you can burn even more. The amount of calories burned cleaning are therefore equivalent to almost four jaffa cakes.

      Sweeping

      Brushing away the dust on the kitchen floor or leaves outside on the patio for one hour can result in 269 calories being burned, meaning just 30 minutes of sweeping will burn 135 calories – almost as much as a can of coke.

      Moving furniture

      While re-organising the furniture in your home is often an arduous task, the benefits, in addition to rejuvenating the feng shui, are evident by burning 408 calories. Therefore, one hour of furniture moving is similar to playing 50 minutes of tennis.

      Gardening

      While the weather might be too cold to venturing out into the garden just yet, when spring arrives putting on your gloves and getting your fingers green can burn you 339 calories. Similarly, pushing around a lawn mower for an hour burns 376 calories – more than two bottles of Stella Artois.

      Painting a room

      If a New Year’s resolution was to freshen up the home with some redecorating, you’ll be pleased to know it burns 306 calories. If this is a longer job, which it very often is, and takes four hours that is 1200 calories burned on painting walls- the same as two Big Macs.

    Early Childhood
    Toddlers and children below age 3 do sometimes take things 
    home even though the items belonged to other children or adults.
     
    However, this is not considered as stealing because they do not

    • Stealing is a bad thing and if not stopped early could lead to very bad behaviour later it becomes a habit. When stealing becomes a habit it’s very dangerous because at this point a child could do anything or take anything in order to fulfil his needs. Regardless of what they know about stealing nothing would stop them. So I feel a child should be taught at 4am early age that stealing is bad and that there are consequences that follow that way he or she will be well informed and wouldn’t steal anyone’s thing.

    • This is what we call kleptomania. Stealing the items belonging to others is a bad habit. The children should be taught and can be about it without any physical punishment. Taking them to the neighbour’s house and allowing them to move with others will expose them to the different surroundings. This is a teaching which the parents do not do. Observe their movements with others and if they do wrong just tell them that it is wrong to do so. This action needs a lot of patience and tact.

    • I am currently serving a stint as a teacher and have encountered these experiences on a recurrent basis. Stealing can be caused by no more than our old sinful nature no matter the circumstances. Some kids steal out of the fun of it, the danger of being discovered. Others do it for secondary purposes like sadism. It appears that in every society, some people steal some of the time. I have discovered that the children most likely to steal are neer do wells and they tend to have resentment yelling up in them due to the constant bashing and scolding by the parents and teachers. So the society has to examine the whole issue of rewarding performance, a paradigm shift should occur in which people concentrate on the child’s strengths not weaknesses. The best punishment should involve lecturing the child by placing him or her in the footsteps of the one who has suffered material loss using one of their possessions as an illustration. This approach has seen of change some children. Its the best time to pull them off the brink.

    • That is a lot of reason why children why children tend to steal something but the numerator are the parents that should guiding their kids to a good and moral character. Just lately in our town, some kids were caught stealing junk foods in their school. The parents were given notice to come to school.
