Eco-friendly Deepawali lantern with homemade handmade paper and cotton strings

Image
        During Ganesh festival, we had prepared eco-friendly Ganesh idol . Lather I published few details of our terrace Garden . Today I am publishing details of deepawali lantern.         Few days back we prepared handmade paper at home using ecofriendly colors. We mainly used newspaper to make it. It was an exciting and successful project.            Recently we decided to make deepawali lantern using handmade paper that we created at home. It is even more successful and fun project. My daughter enjoyed the project.         We also prepared few greetings from our handmade paper like below.            Another interesting project we completed at home was string lantern. Even string lantern is quite a lot of fun. We are also using it as another deepawali lantern.            Rather than buying Chinese lanterns or any other lantern from the market. This shall be a very good vacation project for you or your kids.             Let's save environment, let's s

The milk of our second mother, Indian cow or ‘Gomatha’ (Most liked Post)

Image
        In one of my posts ( How cow is our mother can bull be our father ), I explained why cow is called ‘Gomatha’ or mother cow in Indian culture. Along with calling mother (as we have milk of the cow), it is also important to understand why only Indian cow milk and not any other cow milk.         Recently I came across an idea of A1 and A2 type of milk. Milk generally has three parts: Fats, Whey and milk solids. The milk solid part is composed of many different proteins, which have their own names, lactose, and other sugars. We are interested in protein part of the solid. One of these proteins is called casein, of which there are many different types, but the one casein we are interested is the predominant protein called beta- casein .  In fact, there is only one difference between A1 & A2 milk. The difference in A1 and A2 beta-casein is the amino acid histidine rather than proline at position 67. The issues relate to a peptide called beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM7). This pep

Ecofriendly Ganesh - a beginning

          As   we adopt modern lifestyle we have been using things manufactured in factories using modern technologies. The biggest impact of industrialization is on environment and we have adopted it due to fast paced life. The impact has also been on cultural and religious values.    Even on the name of god people have been impacting environment by multiple ways. This has also been a part of Ganapati festival. During Ganapati festival, the idol is made from plaster of Paris (PoP). PoP is not environment friendly as it does not get dissolved in water. Loud music is played at public places resulting sound pollution. Firecrackers increase air pollution. Colors used during immersion procession are also not environment friendly. Electrical decoration and loud music adds to power wastage. Another aspect is size of the idol. Many people prefer bigger idols and I wonder how does it matter? When I was a kid, immersion used to be done in a local water well. Everyone used to take ex

NLP: And driving on highway becomes fun

Image
Long ago I had seen NLP video where a famous NLP master helped a lady to eliminate fear of driving. He helped her in a session of just 45 minutes and later she could drive well. It was unbelievable for me at that time. Later as I learnt more about NLP, I understand that NLP works so fast that it’s easily possible to eliminate fear in minutes. Recently, I worked with a client who had similar fear driving on Highways. Here is a story of him. For the purpose of hiding identity let’s call him Adi. Adi met me and told that he is not comfortable driving on highways beyond certain speeds. He came with his wife and she said he is generally under stress while driving on highways. He also gets angry on other people in the car or drivers of other vehicles without significant reason so long drives are memorable for some undesirable reason. I decided to go with him on highway. When we started I realized that his body is stiff. I also didn’t see much confidence while overtaking another veh

NLP: How can you communicate with your kids in public?

Image
            Before becoming a father, I had seen people widening their eyes if their kid behaves in a particular way. If that does not work, they go near the kid and whisper in their ears and if even that doesn’t work they would raise or lower the voice. I used to put myself in their place and realize that it is pretty awkward situation. Well, when I became a father; I realized that I am in the same boat and I wanted an efficient way to communicate with my daughter in public.             Being a student of NLP I thought of applying NLP and life. As NLP works well with the unconscious, I thought it might be very effective with kids and yes, my guess was appropriate. I came up with various sound anchors for my daughter. I started with one and reached up to 10. All these sound are from the rhymes that my daughter listens. She loves all of them. I have practiced them with her at home multiple times and now she exactly acts according to the anchor. Sometimes people wonder how I s

Vedic Astrology: Planetary Strengths or Graha Bala

Image
             Before analyzing the horoscope we should be able to know the strength of every planet. Vedic astrology being the systematic science has a mathematical method of calculating the strength of planets. These strengths help to evaluate the magnitude of the event. For instance, if a combination indicating that the person will be a doctor is present in two similar horoscopes, their reputation as a doctor will be completely different depending upon the relative strength of the planets. In the coming posts we will learn to mathematically evaluate the relative strength of planets.             These strengths are called as ' Shadbala ' or six fold strength. The strengths are divided into 6 main categories, they are as follows. 1. Sthanabala or Positional Strength 2. Digbala or Directional Strength 3. Kala bala or Temporal Strength 4. Chesta bala or motional Strength 5. Naisargika bala or Natural Strength 6. Drik Bala or Aspectual Strength
