Note:2 | Turmeric Milk's soothing alternative.

For those reactive to milk or dairy products, can replace the turmeric milk with the following potion. It is awesome in taste and can be taken at any time. We prefer it at bed time.

Key ingredients are Turmeric paste or powder, ginger paste, lemon squeezed, honey or pinch of sugar and pinch of salt mixed in boiling water and soothing warmed as we drink.

Note 6 | Pet Rights and Pet Laws in India (as on 2020)

    "Laws of pets in India, Rights of Pet owners, Rights and misconception of Society welfare, tenants etc."   
    Although a lot under-rated, it is very imperative that we know the pet laws in India (in my country). We are ruled by impulse buying practice here in India ammong major portion of the population.
    And to bring home a living pet-friend without knowing basics or ins &out of the Pet laws or Pet world will not be wise. In age of cyber-knowledge, we cannot ignore or deny the information available at hand. The following site (
https://www.lawnn.com/laws-for-pets-in-india/) has good information on pet laws, tenancy regulations regarding pets etc.

Wisdom August 2020; Note 10
Rats aren't nocturnal they are crepuscular. That is, they are most active during the dusky/twilight hours of morning and evening, and they sleep off and on during the day and the night.

Rats will sleep when there is nothing to stimulate them and awaken when there's something to do.
That sounds so much like Me! 

Wisdom August 2020; Note 09
With everyone of us concern to boost immunity and fight COVID19, one household remedy that's making around the web even internationally is Turmeric Milk (also known as Golden Milk, an elixir of life) or Turmeric Tea.
Turmeric contains Curcumin as major composition.And it has major health benefits.
For the records and for our generations and everyone, few summarized here in.
  1. Must Read - 11 Benefits of Turmeric Tea. Nicely segmented explanation of different turmeric properties.
  2. Another article on 7 benefits of Turmeric from different perceptive, 
Well every good thing has vice as well, what may be good for one person may not be the same for another. In case after having turmeric milk if feeling uncomfortable it may be due to Milk or the Turmeric... it may not be comfortable biologically to some, then better to discontinue in such cases.
And remember good quality turmeric leaves bad stain. Yellow Yellow :)
Here's mine.




Wisdom August 2020; Note 08
Food for thought to ourselves on eve on 74th India's Independence Day; Jai Hind; Jai Axom.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake


Wisdom August 2020; Note 07
There cannot be a better way to start the week. It's full of gratitude. Watching it made my day.

My Opinion based on below video. Throughout July'20-August20 many Indian regions are protesting the new Educattion policy revamped after almost 30+ years. But everything comes at a price, sometime owing to Social and Motherland.
  
Very interesting perspective mentioned in above video and lots of valid points. He is 100% correct also.
But then there many cons why Hindi cannot be the One and only language that the new education system is pushing!
India is a sub continent unlike most nations on the list provided in the video except few like the major one being USA.
Similar to USA, we have diverse population with so many mother tongue; can education system accept and accommodate all? Seems it is just not feasible but as well impractical!
Hindi cannot be considered common language in India under any circumstances, it can be very well used for official communications in place of English but basic education in Hindi is strictly as much detrimental as much is English to non Hindi speakers. (Incomplete thought though)

My Ans- Rice, Dal, Roti, Potato & Milk and medicines ... I guess I am lucky! Many in our country have died for want of Food and it is recurring every year, year on year, wage laborers dying, farmer committing suicide, family committing suicide for not able to carry on the economic burden etc. Yet our politicians and administrators cannot figure out solutions & that is because there is no 24x7 media coverage with tracker with daily fatality tracker running on their screen!.

On Being Bullied - Mike Tyson Documentary

Never let bullying part of life, neither in own life nor in life of your Kids, Friends or any one.
Never be bullying an excuse. Traine our confidence with respect and power up.
Because any kind of Fear gives way to insecurity; Insecurity gives way to Evil deed - upon one self or another one - both way bad for the society.

If you have no capacity for violence then you are a healthy productive citizen: a sheep. If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath—a wolf. But what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens? Then you are a sheepdog, a warrior, someone who is walking the hero’s path. - An Excellent quote by Grossman in Americal Sniper's by Clint Eastwood. 

Very nice and powerful video by Mike Tyson about Bullying on GQ

We lost Our Childhood movie sensation - Rishi Kapoor, due to cancer,
Then we lost Unbelievable actor of high caliber - Irrfan Khan, due to cancer,

Assam History - Pre-Historic to End of 21st Century.

We can find a lot in text books and Wikipedia about Assam History, but then text books are written by Government and biased while Wikipedia is edited by public.
Came across the Encyclopedia Britannica article on Assam and straight forward, crisp writing on Assam History.

https://www.britannica.com/place/Assam/History

Excerpt from Britannica, Read the complete article, it is crisp, short and has all the incidents covered.
In the earliest recorded times, Assam was part of Kamarupa, a state that had its capital at Pragjyotishapura (now Guwahati). Ancient Kamarupa included roughly the Brahmaputra River valley, Bhutan, the Rangpur region (now in Bangladesh), and Koch Bihar, in West Bengal state. King Narakasura and his son Bhagadatta were famous rulers of Kamarupa in the Mahabharata period (roughly 400 BCE to 200 CE). A Chinese traveler, Xuanzang, left a vivid account of the country and its people about 640 CE. Although information about the following centuries is meagre, clay seals and inscriptions on copper plates and stone that date from the 7th to the mid-12th century indicate that the inhabitants of the region attained considerable power and a fair degree of social, economic, and technological development.

Truth Behind Essential of Honey Bee Existences - If the bee disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would only have four years left to live

This may be of interest to a Gardening Pro or Home Gardening amateur or a Bees - Butterfly - Humming Bird expert or Hobbyist!

Came Across this quote -

“If the bee disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would only have four years left to live.”
Fascinating, it is attributed to Albert Einstein, but there is no evidence.
There is good article to read on Forbes in details regarding originating of this quote. So i though if there is any scientific behind Einstein's this quote or simply a mis-attribution on the web.

Read on the article for for depth details. If you are a Gardening or Home gardening kinda folk definitely read it.
