Never been to India. But I watch a lot of travel shows on TV. The way you described the train ride is exactly what I saw on a television show. You are so right! It’s nothing like riding a train in America! Which is really too bad. Because I’m sure looking out of a train window would be a great way to see the beauty of India.

Amtrak trains are so homely with all facilities. There was a guy who kept coming to us asking us if we needed any help. The canteen was great too.

Making healthy food choices is a smart thing to do — no matter how old you are! Your body changes through your 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond. Food provides nutrients you need as you age. Use these tips to choose foods for better health at each stage of life.

Meals are more enjoyable when you eat with others. Invite a friend to join you or take part in a potluck at least twice a week. A senior center or place of worship may offer meals that are shared with others. There are many ways to make mealtimes pleasing

Learn to recognize how much to eat so you can control portion size. My Plate’s Super Tracker shows amounts of food you need. When eating out, pack part of your meal to eat later. One restaurant dish might be enough for two meals or more.

Foods may seem to lose their flavor as you age. If favorite dishes taste different, it may not be the cook! Maybe your sense of smell, sense of taste, or both have changed. Medicines may also change how foods taste. Add flavor to your meals with herbs and spices.

Don’t take a chance with your health. A food-related illness can be life threatening for an older person. Throw out food that might not be safe. Avoid certain foods that are always risky for an older person, such as unpasteurized dairy foods. Other foods can be harmful to you when they are raw or undercooked, such as eggs, sprouts, fish, shellfish, meat, or poultry.

The red rose began its illustrious symbolic history in Greek and Roman iconography, where it was tied to Aphrodite, or Venus, the goddess of love. Later, in early Christian times it became associated with the virtue of Virgin Mary.

By the time Shakespeare rolled around it had already become a poetic standard that he, and later Gertrude Stein, both famously played with in their works. Throughout its long, storied history, the red rose still reigns as the ultimate symbol of passionate affection.
Rose is the king flower all over the world and I like it most because its smell is delicious and fine entrancing men’s wit and wisdom. What’s more classically romantic than red roses? Almost everyone knows (or should know) that a brilliant bouquet of red roses is the perfect way to declare feelings of romantic love. Whether in celebration of an anniversary, wedding,

Valentine’s Day or even National Romance Month (August), there is no mistaking the implication of passion, desire and above all, love, associated with red roses. So, how has the red rose become what it is known for today?

It’s probably safe to say there’s no more prevalent or enduring symbol of love and beauty in Western culture than red roses.

Red roses often appear in poetry, literature, classical artwork, contemporary films and everywhere in between. Renowned Scottish poet, Robert Burns, compared his love to a red rose in the poem Red, Red Rose, and the card “soldiers” in Alice in Wonderland lost their heads for painting white roses red, just to name a few classics.

These fragrant blooms come in varying shades of red, which also carry different symbolic meanings. For example, a bright red rose signifies romance, while burgundy means a love that has yet to be realized.

I think giving the clothes which we do not use to some others is not good. When they are not suitable and good how is it reasonable to expect others wear those clothes? They too have desires to wear new clothes. So, generally, I do not give them to anybody. At the most, I give them after using for about 9 or 10 washes. If my conscious does not permit I tear them off into small pieces and use them for cleaning the floor . I also advise my children to follow the same principle. Am I correct guys?

Yes, old men and women and clothes never die but fade away their colors just to take place the new clothes. There are shirts here and shorts and winter coats and summer dresses and kiddie underpants in piles so high they would cast a shadow over Shaquille O’Neal.

There are bales the size of small sedans filled with leather coats and polyester stretch pants. There are open-topped plastic barrels overflowing with red flannel work shirts, faded denims, evening gowns in rainbow sequins. Strewn, tossed, toppling, pancaked, inside out, jammed onto forklifts — everywhere you look there are clothes.

The warehouse in question is in an industrial park in East New York, Brooklyn. This is not a neighborhood that equates in most people’s minds with the words ”major fashion center.” In some ways this place would seem to be the last destination.

It is where many clothes apparently go to die. When you’ve finally cleaned the closet, given to the coat drive, made a deposit at Goodwill, the Salvation Army or those big red St. Vincent de Paul Society Dumpsters parked outside suburban supermarkets, your clothes will very likely wind up here.

But, far from ending their useful time on earth, they are destined for resurrection. Someday in Burkina Faso, someone will be wearing those old Liz Claibornes to which you finally gave the heave-ho.

The fashion industry only changes trends so they can make money but they never really do too many things that are new and different. My later mother used to say clothes never went out of the style. They just recycled the garments under a new name. My late aunt used to take good care of your clothes, keep them for years and don’t worry you’ll reflect the fashion trend … again! 🙂 When I was in high school my friend came to school wearing a really nice dress. I complimented her on it and she said: “Thanks. This is one of my mom’s old dresses I found in her closet.” I could never borrow my mother’s clothes or my sister’s. We were never the same size. 🙂

When fashions change old clothes get stacked away never to be worn again unless get back into fashion. In my case some have come back and I am waring them but space constraint is always there.
