Earth day

 Today on April 22 is Earth day, and for so many people, that means looking at the way we treat our world. Earth day is the day to celebrate our environment, assess the progress we’ve made towards protecting it and review our long term plans to preserve it for future generations.

If you want to do something good for the environment you recycle, you reduce your waste consumption…..make something using waste. Make something useful, decorative using waste materials.

As a social worker, I’m proud of the progress MSS (our NGO) made to reduce our environment footprint.

All the members used to make things out of waste material.

I made this wrath on earth day in year  

and this one on an another earth day

मैंने इसे कैसे बनाया:

कुछ दिन पहले हमारे सामने के पार्क में घास की कटाई हुई थी. और वह सूखने के बाद ढेरों की संख्या में इधर-उधर बिखरी पड़ी थी. एक दिन सुबह पार्क के ट्रैक पर सैर करते वक्त मेरी नजर सुखी घास के ढेर पर अटक गई और मैंने इसका कुछ उपयोग करने की सोची और में जितनी एक बार में उठा सकती थी उठाई और घर ले आई कुछ 4-5 दिन बाद शाम को सामने के बरामदे में बैठ मैंने अपनी मम्मी की सहायता से घास का घेरा बनाया. इसके लिए मैंने फिर से बची-खुची बेकार चीजों का इस्तेमाल किया. प्रेशर कुकर की गैस्कैट पर  पानी की बेकार प्लास्टिक की ट्यूब लपेट कर उस पर घास लगाना शुरू किया और उसे गेहूँ की बोरी  उधेड़  प्राप्त की गई रस्सी लपेटी इस प्रकार घास का एक गोल चक्कर बनाया और उस पर सजावट की इसे बनाने का पूरा तरीका   मैंने  अगली पोस्ट में विस्तार से पोस्ट किया.

A picture is worth a thousand words.....

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” – Aaron Siskind

My granddaughter 

For me and every woman, there is no spell bigger than a baby. The first phase of childhood brings us unforgettable moments! Cheeks flushed, soninhos quiet, spontaneous and unexpected smiles, unplanned poses, enigmatic little faces, little treats, the findings, and the smell which is the house so ... They are the most charming moments of a baby!

Delicious moments that pass and do not come back.

What do you do on a rainy day?

Today has been pretty miserable. It started out ok and then just got worse. Rain has now set in and it is the little bit cold. Oh well, that is winter for you.No................No........rain is not inevitable the crop of wheat are ripe in fields and rain will ruin the crop.Even little wetness will ruin the wheat grains and husk tooo.....But what to do .it's not in the hand of a human being.
Today we have to go to Bansilal University Bhiwani. My daughter will deliver a lecture there and myself, my son and granddaughter accompanied her .there was stormy wind on the way along with the shower of rain in between. 


I happened to read a very appropriate quote over there(in University) that spoke to me deeply, :
"Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others". Buddha

Nutrition of the family and ME

My life pretty much revolves around food.  Making it, growing it(yes when iwas studing in 9th standard and lived in my village,doing farming in those years was my best period of life ), shopping for it, sharing it.  I'm planning lunch and dinner before I even eat breakfast. And more and more, I find myself talking about food - all the time, everywhere.  At the college,NGo centers,library, copy shop, vegetable market, parties; name the place, and there I am, talking about food.

I'm down with all the food talk.  I enjoy talking about food almost as much as I enjoy eating it, and I've recently come to appreciate that this is my role within my family and community.  I'm completely responsible for the nutrition of three other human beings.  If I didn't think about my family's food, they might not eat.  Or worse yet, they'd eat all wrong.  Within my community, many people don't have the time or interest to think about food all day long.  They've got jobs, commitments, non edible interests.  I've got dinner ideas, cooking tips, recipes to share.

Many of my recent food conversations have hinged on nutrition.  I'm more than willing to share what I've learned, but I hesitate to advise others on their diet.  Although I have a lot of experience with food (don't we all?), I realize that I'm not qualified to dispense nutritional advice.  The more research I do about food and nutrition, the more I wonder, who is?  Who can I trust to tell me what to eat, what not to eat, and why?

Almost everything I used to believe about food and nutrition has been turned upside down this past year.  I've gone from buying whole grains and brown rice in bulk to smearing my bread with morebutter.  I no longer believe that Desi ghee and milk will raise my cholesterol, that saturated fat will make me fat, or that salt will give me heart disease.  I now know that skipping a meal or two will not result in my body cannibalizing itself for protein.  I now believe that sugar is the root of nearly all health evils, and that glucose is glucose, but not every calorie is created equal.

I didn't learn this from my doctor or my college professors, and certainly not from any government funded nutritional education programs.  I haven't read it in one specific book.  I'm continually piecing my knowledge from various sources: articles, blog posts, podcasts, documentaries, online lectures, various books and websites, conversations with friends who seem to be eating something right.

The most influential source of nutritional advice came from this TED Talk.  (Please take a moment to watch it if you haven't already.)
