Here’s how: Eat your veggies. Certain leafy greens, like bok choy, kale, spinach, and collard greens, are high in calcium. Watch the soda. Studies have shown […]
This is a nice article I found from New York Times long back about methods on improving handwriting. I don’t know how handwriting is taught in schools here. And I don’t remember how I learnt (yeah I don’t think I learnt it at all, I need to fix mine 🙂 ). I thought it might […]
I have a huge experience with frustration. I experienced it in so many ways, at so many times in my life, that I feel like I’m some kind of a specialist. If you wonder why I have this huge expertise, here’s the answer: growth never happens without it. The more frustration you are able to harvest, resolve and overcome, the more growth you’re experiencing. Avoiding it, hiding from it, deluding the game, none of these strategies will make you a better human being. On the contrary.
What follows is a list of tools and approaches I used to solve my own frustration and limitation episodes.
[Via – Savory Sweet Life] A few years ago a friend of mine taught me how to make potato chips in a microwave. I thought she was kidding because I couldn’t imagine a microwave producing crispy chips. After cooking them for 5 minutes they were done, crispy, and wonderful! You will need a Mandoline to […]
[Via – Consumer Reports] [Image from stock.xchng] Although quite chatty now, our daughter wasn’t an early talker. I clearly remember the worry I felt when her doctor expressed mild concern over her lack of words.

[Via CNN] People come up to Aimee Mullins all the time and say, “you know, I have to tell you, you just don’t look disabled.” The record-setting athlete, actress and model says, “And it’s sweet because I know that they’re confused, and they’re telling me this because they know I’m missing both legs from the […]
[Via – Re-Nest] Image from Stock.xchng I recently bought my first pair of “serious” jeans. The reason I know this is because as I was standing at the register about to pay A LOT of money for them, a cool dude who was standing next to me at the register said, “Oh, you’re going to […]
[Via – Dragos Roua] I was driving to town the other day, when, at some point on the highway, I found myself near a huge truck. I don’t know if you know the type: ugly, noisy and… toxic! The exhaustion pipe was left oriented, and since the truck was rolling on my right, even if […]
The two largest items US consumers spend on are 1) Health Care and 2) Education Since the days of 2008 presidential campaign, so much attention has been focused on rising health care costs. The Great Recession (this is how they are referring to the current economic climate) has left many state budgets in such a […]
If you’re looking to eat healthfully at your favorite restaurant, don’t automatically turn to the salad menu. Turns out, restaurant salads can often be as bad as—or worse than—any burger or steak on the menu. Sure, salads may contain a fresh produce base, but those leafy greens are too often weighed down with cheese, deep […]
I would like to present more statistics on the state of Nizam Telangana, Coastal Andhra, and Rayalaseema regions. The data does not include education and irrigation as I’ve already published this data on my web-site at http://www.myteluguroots.com/tables.html. I am not going to provide detailed commentary on the data, as the tables are self-explanatory in nature. […]
Viruses are wonderful living creatures. I know you wouldn’t expected this as a starting sentence, but this the bare truth: in terms of biological life, viruses are one of the most fascinating and powerful living beings. Unfortunately, we, humans, seem to have a rather hard time with them. Why? Because we’re on a constant battle […]
