    Now a days it is popular to have the weirdest pets at home. There are iguanas, chameleons, sugar gliders, rats and some for some reason even get tigers as pets. There are so many strange things you can bring to […]

    • No doubt even I have seen people on television or Youtube having rats or mice as pets. But in my opinion having them in ones home is not advisable as they are carriers of a host of diseases. In India people especially shopkeepers and farmers have cats as rats eat the stocks of food which they have kept for sale resulting in losses to them. There is also a community in India who I know eat rats as their staple food. Since many centuries and they are tribals.

      There is also a temple in Rajasthan, India where rats are worshiped and devotees take blessings of these rats there are hundreds of rats which are there in the temple and the devotees are not afraid of them. They feed them milk and also eat the offerings kept for the rats as Prasad as they consider it a holy thing as rat is the vehicle of God Ganesha the elephant headed God. Who is famous all over the world and is worshiped by devotees worldwide. I have seen this on television small children also are not afraid of these rats.

    • I don’t like it, even the sight of rats, i just can not look at it for a long time. They are carriers of leptospirosis; in their urines and poo. If you have an open wound and got in contact with it, there is the danger of having leptospirosis.

      What’s happening to people nowadays? They can have guinea pigs, a cat or adopt any pet, but not rats! So weird!

    Imagine working in an office with complete silence. Nothing to do but listen to your pen writing or the clicks os the computer. This silence can bore someone and make the day feel like it passes by slower. It can […]

    • Earlier I used to work and listen to music but now it is either work or just listen to music. I do not know why it has become like that with me. I tried to listen and work in between but found it difficult to do two things at a time. So now its only one thing one time. But I like music and work. Each have its importance.

      One more thing I would like to share is that if I am doing some simple task like cleaning or sweeping or dusting at such times I do listen to music and do the work both of them at the same time. Music has the power to heal, make one reach spiritual heights, appreciate different genre of music and listen to ragas and compositions of various kinds. Through music if one would want to one can reach God. In India many have reached God through this path. This is called Bhakti Marg.

    • It could inspire workers to work better especially when they like the music; it prevents them from feeling sleepy or tired. I like soft music too while writing or doing some home chores.

    • I am in this school of thought. Music helps my work done faster although not so much of office work for me. At home, it works fine, while cleaning, bathing, doing the dishes, I must have my music turned on. As a matter of fact, my exercise is strictly dance cardio. There’s a connection with music for me. I listen to the lyrics which have a deep meaning. Music calms me down when I’m sad, it inspires me to do more as well. I just love music. I hope my neighbours don’t come knocking on door one day for disturbance.

    • not to me, here it irritate me and make me not abloe to work or concentrate on what im doing, im not fan for music but i like it but also not at work or while studying, i will never do it, though women able to do things at the same time and this one no for sure, thanks for the post

    • It could be delicious and healthy too because you use chicken breast instead of other meat. But I like seafood sphaghetti where I use assorted seafoods like shrimp, oysters, tuna fillets, with lots of garlic, onion and olive oil as the sauce. I add mint, oregano, etc. to enhance it more.

    @PEEUSH TRIKHA

    Yes, in everything , the key is moderation.

    Taking of drugs in excess can make us sick or addicted to it.

    Overeating of oranges in a day can result to stomachache.

    Just eat one or two everyday so you can reap it’s health benefits. And this is true with all kind of foods.

    Yes, she could have died , had the family did not opt for a second opinion for the gallstone operation that the doctor advised to be done at the soonest.

    This actually happened about more than 15 years ago. […]

    • Good thing your family sought a second opinion. It is so saddening that some doctors would just decide on conducting an operation on the patient without considering some of the perils involved.

      We should also be careful with our diet to avoid such ailments, or the so-called lifestyle diseases.

      • From then on, we know already that we should always seek second opinion when it is a serious ailment.

        Good thing that now our daughter is already a doctor. We can always seek her second opinion since she’s not here in the province where we reside.

        Indeed, even at an early age, we should learn how to live a healthy life without depriving us though, of the delicious foods. The key is to eat in moderation, exercise or being so mobile and having a happy disposition in life.

    We all are facing the issues with the pollution. And there are very serious issues that are arising due to the carbon footprint. And not a lot of people are helping the economy. I would say that it is right time […]

    • What you enumerated were alternative sources of energy that will help save the environment from pollution and further degradation. It is true, we need to lessen carbon footprint; and this has been a hot topic among developing and developed countries, as to to had caused so much pollution/greenhouse gases that results to global warming and climate change which mostly affects poor or developing countries.

    • Agree with all the methods which have been well enunciated in the article. I feel the most important thing is the attitude of human behavior which is materialistic and the craving for more and more new things when already possessing those. People keep changing the mobiles every three to six months to buy a new model, similar is the case with computers, laptops, ipads, notebooks and other such IT related systems. Look at this a technology like yoga which is an ancient system does not pollute but instead betters ones life and causes less pollution. While technology like the one I mentioned which are important also have a negative effect on ones life and need constant upgradation. It is not a one time purchase and use for many years as it earlier used to be. Companies want to increase their sales and are indulging in offers to lure customers and selling products which increase carbon footprint.

      In Indian one good change when it comes to power generation which I have seen is the use of solar energy. There are many big solar power plants which are being constructed and run successfully all over the country. India has abundant solar power and it is a clean source of energy. The school where I used to work earlier has solar power everything is connected to only this and the school does not but any electricity outside. It is a big school with around 1500 children. I liked that one aspect about the school. Imagine all schools doing the same and how much power is saved and how clean energy systems will become popular among the public as children are having good influence on parents as to what to buy.

    Aquariums are known to be exotic and entertaining for anyone who is interested into underwater life. There are plenty of things we can look at when it comes to the aquarium. And we can learn a lot about the fish […]

    • An interesting subject which I like. I like aquatic life. I have been to water bodies and have observed many fish and different reptiles like snakes and amphibians too. Going and being the waterbodies I find calms ones mind and provides the much required freshness for the mind which will be taxed due to our regular schedules in life. One can also observe many birds species which seek food near these water bodies. I have been to three aquariums in my life.

      The first two are in Hyderabad which I used to visit when I was young one was at Jawahar Bal Bhavan and the second on was at Rotary park. The third one I visited was at Chennai. The ones in Hyderabad were well maintained at that time I really do not know what the situation is now. As this was many years back. One more thing was at the time the water in the Hussain Sagar lake was crystal clear it has been totally polluted now. I could clearly see many fish in the lake and snakes too at that time. The information provided above makes a good read whenever one happens to visit these cities going there would be definitely worth the experience.

    • I like to watch fish swimming, along with other water creatures. They are so beautiful to look at even in small aquariums.
