Gulshan Kumar Ajmani created new topic Processed meats and cancer.
These days, issue of meat- mutton, pork, chicken, beef and so on- fresh or processed, domestic or imported- is very much a hot issue. But a word ofcaution. Processed meat may cause cancer. If you take meat, avoid processed meat.

Gulshan Kumar Ajmani created new topic Politicians and Tantriks .
BJP is raising the issue of Tantrik association of Nitish Kumar Bihat c.M. electionsare in process. But what is so bizarre. Many of our leaders are superstitious and go for help to astrologers and Tantriks. This is a world wide disease. Indira Gandhi was associated with a TantrikHolyman Dhirendra Dharamachari. similarly was last Tzar of Russia associated with Rasputin, a holy man.

Gulshan Kumar Ajmani chosen the best answer for the question How does Biryani differ from Pulao. .
The difference is that while making pulao, vegetables and rice are mixed together and then cooked in steam. Whereas, in Biryani, vegetables and rice both are half cooked separately and then they are put into a heavy bottomed pan in layers, first vegetable (or meat) layer which has been marinated with various spices, then a layer of rice, again a layer of vegetables or meat and then again rice layer. This ensemble is then sealed well so that steam does not escape the pan and then cooked over very low heat. This is biryani, the longer it is cooked,m the better the taste.

Shampa Sadhya created new topic Is editing a reply a violation?.
In the Forum page beside every thread we get to see a blue oval mentioning the name who replied last. That's okay and I have noticed that if the person who replied last edits his reply then the box goes missing, but, why is it so? Today, I edited one answer of mine and thereafter another user replied on that very thread so although he is the last person to reply. the blue oval is still missing. Am I doing anything wrong by editing my reply? Kindly help.

Oh!Yes, @Kalyani Nandurkar, I would definitely watch them whenever I get time. This will definitely be a good change as I normally watch Hindi and Bengali movies.

rambabu replied to the topic Your best virtue gained from work .
I discovered my self. In the beginning days of my career, I was a part of a vast Public sector steel Major. It was a practice to send all the media news to the CMD, early morning before 7 both in Telugu and English. As luck would have it, one day the Telugu translator became sick and took leave. As a stop gap arrangement, My Manager asked me to translate Media clippings from English in to Telugu. Luckily, these Telugu translations were liked by the CMD. Since then, I became the regular Translator.
This made me to discover myself. Such things happen in work place.

Shampa Sadhya replied to the topic Your best virtue gained from work .
Though I don't possess a weak personality, I always have some doubt about myself whenever I am to face a new challenge. While being in a teaching job I learnt to assess myself better because of my student's love and respect that I enjoyed. My students were not little ones but adults-to-be and adults so when I realised that they eagerly waited for my class then I really felt confident which helped me not to underestimate myself.

Shampa Sadhya replied to the topic Is it really a beginning of women empowerment?.
Exactly, I am also of the same opinion that it would be very hard to bring in required changes in our society by just projecting a theme during any festival. This may fetch a prize for the particular puja committee but it can hardly shake one's heart, then, what is the use? If women empowerment issue becomes only a matter of theme during a festival then our country will never be able to change its mindset which is not good.

vijay replied to the topic Writers returning their awards - what do they hope to achieve?.
In a country where reading habits are one of the lowest in the world, writers are not widely regarded unless htey are highly publicised or have foreign acceptance. The politicians have over the years become the opinion makers and that is why they were so rattled by writers returning awards. Politicians do not want to cede space to writers.
