Be careful about reading health books!!

Here is an anecdote of a man who read the following passage in a book :

With a smooth skin, and luscious ,chewy flesh, the pig has great texture and taste.Pigs perish quickly and because of this ,these are dried to capture the delicate taste the year round.The colour and texture of pigs vary.The skin of pigs can be green,purple or almost black;while the flesh can be red,pink or amber.Pigs and nutririon go hand in hand.Pigs lower and control high blood pressure because these are packed with potassium ,a mineral that can control hypertension.Pigs also help people lose weight.A gr8 source of dietary fibre, pigs can work wonders for those want to lose weight.Pigs are good for those with diabetes.They also increase bone density as they are rich in calcium.Thus,pigs are very nutritious.It is recommended that 2 pigs be soaked in water overnight and eaten the following day.

The man was greatly impressed by the glowing account of the nutritional value of pigs.Of course ,he did wonder how the animals could be green and purple in colour. ?But,leaving that aside ,there were practical problems he would have to consider.How could he soak two squealing pigs in water?And how should they be eaten?Roasted?Baked?Raw?And two of them?.....The poor man scratched his head.He decided to wear his spectacles and read the passage again.And the mystery was solved.He realized the word was 'fig' and not 'pig'!

  We are all very busy in our lives , by that we mostly live with computers today.From waking you up in the morning to getting you to the office and work, making you busy to making you relax ,making you go nuts with loads of work to making you feel excited playing games - it s all that a computer that’s doing this for you.But in different forms like - To work , you may need a laptop but to set up an alarm to wake you up , your smart phone can do it. To play games, you may need a high end laptop/tabs that supports graphics so you feel real and excited to play while to relax listening to music, you can still use your smart assistants like Alexa,Google Home or a Home Pod!

Now, while you realise and awe at  how much your smart devices are helping you,  Did you also note a point that all of these are still the computers but...

Feminity and Masculanity

By -
 I have had this sense of a feeling recently about the Feminity and Masculanity - which felt like are the other words for Energy (Shakthi) and Matter (Purusha) respectively. Just look at the properties of all those described under these words - they match right? Shakthi roopam - that refers to the ‘Ammavaru’ (Goddess) which translates to the feminine power. Purusha roopam - that refers to the ‘Ayyavaru’ (God) which translates to the masculine power. We need to dive a bit deeper in to understand more properties of these two forms , which then can be related to the Energy and the Matter. And to my understanding so far, I have got to a conclusion that Energy is the Shakthi/Feminity and Matter is the Purusha/Masculanity. Hmm..! :)

Karna and Duryodhana

By -
  What’s the difference between them? This is something that I felt while watching the Indian Epic , Mahabharatham . Everyone knows Karna has been very good in his deeds and he is well  known as “Daana Veera Sura Karna” . And similarly everyone knows what kind of a greedy person Duryodhana is ,and how blind has he become towards his acts with greed for power and property. Having known this difference - why is Karna taken to face the same bad hits as Duryodhana even though Karna is no where close to Duryodhana in any form?Here is the answer. Karna never has been greedy of anything .All that he wished was that a person must be respected for his skills . Karna being a son of a charioteer (though actually born as a Kshatriya, no one was aware of this except Kunti devi and he was always treated the son of a charioteer until the time this truth about his birth got revealed ) who belongs to the Shudra varna. When his thoughts were matched by Duryodhana’s offer to let his skills be sh...
