Snake gourd delicacy

The climbers are a variety of vegetables in a class of their own, healthy, nutritious and tasty, with all the blessings of the sun and wind.

Today we had snake gourd made traditionally in a mud pot, a change with the addition of green gram dal.

Ingredients

snake gourd
green gram( paasi parupu)
small onions
dried chille powder
turmeric powder
country tomatoes and sea- salt to taste

First the green gram is half boiled ,  the rest of the ingredients are added with enough water and cooked.

Goes great with rice and chappathis.


Make enough, so that u have much for a second serving.

Not a diabetic? Not an hypertensive? don't u worry we will find it for u.

Many a private, or a board of doctors , send out pamplets like this or stick them on walls as free billboards, to advertise their trade.

It has become selling oneself to win patients to carry on the profession, today.

Those who are healthy, reading such pamplets would get to become an hypochondriac, and wish to have themselves checked,  eventually falling into some category and get to have a life long relationship with some medical shop, being shifted from one specialist to another.

Free camps may be free, but not the things that follow it.

A crowded waiting room

I was once asked by a patient, how come your clinic is always so free and never crowded even in the epidemic days.

Well my patients are well.

It is an insult to a doctor if his waiting room is always full.

There was a time in china, when a physician was paid for the welfare of the family, and when they got sick, his fees for those times were cut or not taken by the doctor.

Such a policy can be brought back with times with small steps, and care and concern for the doctor by the  patients.

Dont sell us your gay ideas

We were naive to accept your colas, then were coerced to buy them, but please don't trade your gay ideas to us .

Religion is an integral  part of a marriage and each one has a line, now u are   " man and wife".

IF that is going to be changed with the Americans allowing gay marriages,now u are " man and man " or " women and women",    we would go crazy.

why did  creation bring on two genders?
 they are each unique and a blend of them brings on a family.

Save  your  gay  ideas for yourself and don't export them .

Move...Man...Move

There was a long distance call, from a cousin across the Atlantic  a week ago.

it was only a courtesy call to a younger one , and was enquired about this and that, i, like i always am, traded what i was doing and how i am .

I was told it is bad luck to stay in my village and i must move out,  our parents worked hard and got us to what we are, but it sure is bad luck staying on... the  voice  in the ear piece said.

Well i certainly had nothing to say, he has a broader vision and greater expansive travel, and more of every thing.

Seeing things and feeling the freedoms available and lesser rules , i do  think  it is  good luck to stay  than bad luck .

Each one to their wants and every one is right.

Junk joints are whore houses

How could  one justify such a title i thought, well it came to my mind and i decided why not try .

wooing a lady, needs lots of care and attention to detail and climatic conditions to go with the offerings to win the heart of the beauty .

one cannot take for granted that u would be allowed to be shallow when u woo,
there is so much to learn and savour every moment, and every moment is different.

whore houses i guess  one doesn't need to know any thing , every thing is slam bam thank u mam, unless u have fallen for the whore and intend to woo her to be your lady of the heart.

one never gets to ever know what is inside a junk food, from the drinks to the eats, and the licking ice creams.

In organic home food , one has a chance to know at least what u are eating, and how it is made and from where u get it.

Now with the awareness growing ,we know,that junk food restaurants offer plastics as food which look like they are eats, which even the  bacteria and fungi  keep away from .

Finally one knows what one gets , immediately or in the far end of ones life

visiting whore houses.

Shame, one has to make such comparisons to drive deep  nutrition topics.

May Day - meditative celebrations

May day calls are distress calls, but this may day  call  was for a celebration.

The kids have got their summer vacation ,and we wanted  to arrange a  jolly time  for them for a day, before they all leave for their grand parents home or run away to tourist spots far away.

My wife made calls to all people she knew who had children above 7, wishing they send their kids for a dance and fun time for a day at a local school.

The programme was called " little stars" and it was conducted by a master , he came at 10 am.


The kids had arrived before that and after an introduction, it got away with songs, dances and traffic watching ,cooing like an infant, and listening to multi- voices and sounds.

A star cut out was pinned on their chest with colorful ribbons, made of chart paper.


The kids were encouraged to share jokes, sing and dance , to the tunes of many a cinematic music.

We could see the happiness in the eyes of the kids and the warm enjoyment in the organisers heart.
