rambabu replied to the topic Writers returning their awards - what do they hope to achieve?.
A good article. I liked it. Especially the line that says one must be careful to return the right award to the right sender quoting the example of McDonald. The article is both witty and thought provoking.

usha manohar replied to the topic What causes low self esteem in Children.
Shampa Sadhya wrote:
Self esteem gets created or broken only due to the environment of the family. Children grow up with self esteem only when they get nurtured with love and care in totality. If one of the parents do not express love for the child properly or humiliates the child or anyone at home then that child starts leading a fearful life and thus self esteem gets a big blow.
I agree with that, most of the time it is the parents or a close family member who is responsible for making the child lose his or her self confidence, which can have lasting impact in their lives. Some of the students I have come across are very social and good with their relationships while at school but parents come out with a different story of their being rude and revolting at every level.I feel the fault lies with the parents or home atmosphere, which they seldom accept nor take any measures to correct .

MG Singh created new article Crimes of The West:Alas! Wish Saddam Hussein was Alive Today .
The entire Middle East is in ferment and Iraq along with Syria are facing a civil war of immense magnitude. The ISI and its sister organizations have spread murder, rape and mayhem in the entire region. The saddest news is that coptic Christians living in these regions are facing the wrath of Muslim sectarian crisis. In Syria the Muslim extremist organizations recently butchered 400 Christian men and impregnated over 3000 Christian girls. Such anarchy was never seen in the Middle East for over a 100 years, even when it was part of the Ottoman Empire.
In reality the western powers started their devious games right after the defeat of Turkey after World war I and the demise of the Ottoman Empire. The entire Middle East was carved up by the French and the British on a study table with a map and is known as the Sykes-Picot agreement. The Americans also jumped in later and along with the English created the monster state of Saudi Arabia. This nation instead of helping the refugees fleeing the strife zone, offers to build 200 Mosques in Europe. What a warped mind !
During this period Iraq had a revolution and the entire ruling dynasty which was a stooge of the United States was wiped out by a revolution led by Lieutenant General Kassem in 1958. He was overthrown and a Sunni Muslim , for long a member of the Bath party named Saddam Hussein seized power. For long Saddam Hussein was a pet of the CIA, who egged him to fight the war with Iran and invade Kuwait. But in the nineties Saddam fell foul of the USA and it was decided to remove him and usher in a more friendly regime to the Americans in Iraq. The Americans thought that like in previous times , their writ will run and Iraq would be in their pocket. The Americans failed to realize the immense contribution of Saddam to containment of Al Qaeda and other Muslim extremist organizations. Records tell us that Saddam hanged scores of Muslim extremists and one can safely say that the bloodshed, now ongoing like an epidemic was non-existant. Saddam was however a nationalist and tried to steer an independent path from the USA. More important he was secular and Christians and other minorities were safe under him. It is on record that he was the sole Muslim leader who supported India on Kashmir. Yes ! he was an autocrat, but that is a small price to pay to avoid internecine conflict and murder of the minorities and moderates and usher in a regime based on barbarism.
One is now nostaligic about the rule of Saddam as his exit has opened a Pandoras Box and the US and the West are clueless as to how to deal with the problem. They have tried to distinguish between moderate Islamists and extremists , but have failed to realize that all Muslim extremsist are the same and there is nothing like moderate Islamic extremists. Their meddling has unleashed forces that are about to devour Europe itself, with the millions flooding to that Continent. The fat is in the fire and the West will pay a dear price for allowing American special forces to execute Saddam. The birds have come home to roost.

MG Singh created new article Do Muslims Assimilate With Local Places and Nations.
I was in Europe for almost 2 weeks on a business and holiday trip. Frankly it was the wrong time to visit Europe as the entire continent was charged with the advent of over one million Muslim refugees. Europe does need labor, because of a declining population trend, but many are advising caution in accepting Muslim refugees as they are almost like oil and water and never assimilate with local culture. They also bring a crime wave and with Europe having abolished the death penalty, crime by immigrant Muslims is showing a 100% rise in crime. The net result is that these Mulsim criminals serve a few years and are released and then they are back to their old ways.
Studies have shown that 80% of Muslims in most European countries are on state welfare and they have all the time in the world. These Muslims resort to rape and abduction which has shown a 90% rise as far as statistics is concerned. Each Muslim migrant on an average brings in 8-10 relations over a period of time and these form their own colonies, where teh Sharia rules. I was shocked to learn that in Paris and London there are areas known as Muslim quarters where no local European enters and even the police go in only if its a must. These Muslim colonies have scant respect for the law of the land and adminster justice in their own way through the Sharia. Most of the Muslims bring their own archaic laws against women and implement them.
Two cases caught my attention. In one a Muslim overran and killed his daughter with his car as he felt she was to westernised. In another case a Muslim man murdered his wife as she had decided to ask for a divorce. Muslims also have scant respect for the legal system of the nation they reside in and mete out justice as per the Sharia. These are facts that cannot be brushed under the carpet.
Muslism are also egged on to spread " Islam" by marrying Christian girls and also to take part in terror attacks. France which has the largest Muslim majority in Europe is facing repeated terrorist attacks from home grown French Muslims. Bombings and killings are to the fore and in one case a Muslim worker beheaded his Christian boss for no reason except as written in his holy book, he would go to paradise in case he killed a non believer.
The facts that emerge is the Muslims where ever they reside, do not assimilate with the local customs and mores, but import their own philosophy. It would be perhaps acceptable in case they confined their thoughts to them, but they wish to spread Islam. The Muslims are thus not really acceptable in Europe now, but political leadership is forced to accept these refugees and nmany have told me that Europe is going to face the sternest test of survival in the years to come.
In India also despite Muslims having lived here for hundreds of years, a majority do not think of India as a home and we have cases where they insist on their own personal law and refuse to sing the national song " Vande Matram". They also do not educate their daughters. On a holiday in Kashmir I had hired a taxi driver. He was a nice man, but in conversation he yold me that he did not educate his daughters and would marry them off " soon".

bhuyali saroj created new article suiciding farmers.
Farmer suicides …. These lines we are reading and hearing in our daily newspaper, news channel and internet.
What are their problems? Why they are doing all these? Instead of looking in these matters the ministers of India are going to somewhere else and some of the ministers are talking beyond the topic they are talking about the meat which is not near the topic also. How shame for us, that the farmer of India are not getting small things like food which will make them alive. The ministers of India and also the people of India should think in this matter very strongly because the farmers are not only important for their family but also they are important for the country. If India wants to improve their status in the world the people and every citizen of India needs to stop all these non-sense work that the farmers are doing. Nobody can experience what is going through in the mind of the farmers what pain they are bearing which let them to do suicide. The farmers should be empowered with strong laws and maximum benefits because if the agricultural sector of India run smoothly then the other entire sector will get good profits. India is a agriculture land and we all know this that if India improves his agriculture problem then this country India will enjoy a great power in the world but then also we neglect, we hardly concentrate in this zone. The family is not only losing a great father, a great husband, a great son, a great brother but in some way the country is losing a great honest hard working labour who works day and night to give some useful product to their countrymen. Some of the farmer suicide just because they think that after their death the family of his will get some compensation from the government which will make their family alive but they don’t think that if they die the pain of his death will be more painful for his family in comparison of his being in this world. There are many educated person in India and some of them are even highly qualified and extra talented, they are many colleges of science which is improving very vastly in India. My question is for ministers and the present government why they are not taking the ideas of such an extra talented personalities, why they are not letting them to come front and letting them to help farmers and I am very much sure that if they do all these then there is no days left when we see that we are seeing an extra ordinary changes in the zone of agriculture and the farmers association.
Conclusion
Well I think that there should be a help care regarding farmer. In which the farmer will get loan and some extra money and better life in comparison of his present life which they are having now which are letting them suicide. And also some education should be given to the farmers related to weather changes and soil suitable for which crops. There should every possibility given to the farmers which will make them a bit happiness and I think that they don’t need money or anything expensive items all they need is a love and some food which will make their family happy and alive. Please help farmers because they are real heroes of our country and very important for our country and if the government are not helping them then we should take a step to help them.

Shampa Sadhya created new article Mindset of the families can help to curb Ragging.
Ragging is one such word which spontaneously makes us think about educational institutions. It is a known fact that in colleges the first year students get ragged by their seniors. There are always two sides of a coin so is the case with the story about ragging in the educational institutions. Sometimes ragging is conducted by the seniors only to make the juniors introduce themselves in a very light-hearted manner. In the process all the students have some fun and later juniors and seniors become friends but there are immense cases which speak just the opposite. There are horrific tales of ragging which even caused death of the new entrants in the colleges especially the ragging that takes place in the hostels is always a matter of concern. It becomes very much physical that’s why parents and guardians remain afraid until they get to learn that their child had adjusted happily in the new educational environment.
The worst part is, ragging usually takes an embarrassing turn and even affects emotions as well as self-esteem of the ragged persons tremendously. I would say ragging is basically a curse that falls on the youths for simply no fault of theirs and it remains at the back of one’s mind throughout their lives but today I want to drift a bit and bring out some other relevant points related to ragging. Actually, ragging which means teasing is not only a part of our educational institutions be it in residential schools or colleges and students are not the only sufferers but many other sections of people get ragged each and every day in the society, family and world at large. They are just known by different names such as bullying, discrimination, untouchability and these are very much present in the society for the last so many decades. Listing down the points to substantiate my viewpoint:
1. Societal Discrimination: People get ragged on the basis of class, caste, clan, creed, and religion too. Many times the minorities are laughed at their faith, tradition and culture only to prove the supremacy of the majority. Isn't it ridiculous? How do these people acquire an upper hand and get the right to humiliate others. One can understand if someone tries to remove some superstition by pointing out the right factors in a decent manner but by passing indecent comments or gets physically violent then the incidents turn out to be very insulting and very infuriating too.
2. Eve teasing: It is another form of ragging. God created both male and female but I wonder how the eve teasers got into a notion that they are the supreme folks. They pass lewd comments and make degrading gestures. It does not end here rather some go further and indulge into molestation and rape. This humiliation is simply unbearable for the victims and even they refrain themselves from disclosing the truth in public.
3. Gender Bias: There are many families who never hesitate from making gender discrimination. Boy child is well treated and girl child is hurled with abuses. Even discrimination gets so worse that girl child gets ignored in terms of quality of food and various facilities such as education and many more. Such families do not mind to ignore the health issues of a girl child while a boy child is given utmost attention even at a very nominal health disorder.
4. Skin Colour: Ragging takes place even on the basis of complexion. There are some parents who differentiate between their own children due to the colour of the skin. Fair complexioned children receive more attention and love from their parents and other family members while the dark skinned children are made to feel left out.
It is always easy to blame someone but we never try to single out what made the person behave in an unruly manner. The families which opt to make discrimination of various kinds impact the children very deeply. Some children take it into their stride, some revolt vehemently, some bring it into action after a certain age and very few act against the odd practice and try to emphasize on making no discrimination.
Who can deny that the family is the first teacher of every child? It’s the fundamental truth that every child learns the basics of life from their parents and the immediate family at home. If the family preaches wrong principles of life through their wrongdoings then God save the children.
Upbringing is vital: If we want a safe and healthy atmosphere in educational institutions then the first and foremost change we need to bring is in our upbringing of our children. The parents and the immediate families are responsible on imparting good values to their children. Thus, the onus is upon the seniors to act very sensibly so that their children become sensible members of the society. Any kind of ragging at home should be stopped at any cost and I can assure that a high percentage of ragging at the college will see the dust. Most of the students are not hooligans only they are negatively channelled. So, a positive change in the family’s mindset will simply broaden their mindset too.
In our society ragging has been kept aside as if it’s only the matter of educational institutions so others have no responsibility towards it. But, that’s not the fact. Ragging is just an after-effect of all kinds of discrimination or bullying the child faces at home and in the society. Those students who take up ragging simply as a form of casual introduction is fine but those who make it an ego hassle then no one knows how far the situation can worsen. Thus, come on! Let’s curb ragging and give the upcoming generation a healthy student’s life.

MG Singh created new article Facts from DrPeter Hammond's Book " Slavery Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threats".
Recently I recieved a book written by Dr.Peter Hammond titled " Slavery Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat" from a friend who has retired from the Central Industrial Security Force. I have read the book and found that it gives a mine of information. The book covers a vast arena, but for this article I shall b ring out the exclusive nature of Islam, which is the root cause of Muslims not integrating with the country where they have settled. Muslims in India or France or for that matter anywhere do not integrate with the culture of the country they have adopted as their home. In India also there is an exclusiveness in Islam and many people ( except some politicians) have observed that Islam is something distinct and more like oil and water and just cannot mix up with the host nations culture. No wonder Muslims in India refuse to sing the national song " Vande Matram" and that includes our Vice President who is a Muslim.
As per Dr. Hammond Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult . The question then arises as to what Islam is ? As per the writer Islam is a system of life that dominates all facet of its followers. The author justifies this defination of Islam and points out that Islam is the only religion that has religious, legal, political, economic, social and military aspects, that are followed even in the 21st century. One cannot relate these aspects to any other religion in the modern age.
Dr Hammond asks a question whether a Muslim can be a good and loyal soldier or a good American( I will add Indian) or citizen of the country he has chosen to settle in. The answer is a big " NO" and he justifies his repy as will be brought out in the succeeding paragraphs. All these points are mutually exclusive and no component can be ignored. The points raised are as follows
> Can a Muslim integrate theologically? the answer is no, becuause his allegience is to Allah, the Moon god of Saudi arabia
> Religiously ? the answer is again no as, because no other religion is accepted by Allah except Islam. One can refer to chapter 2:256 of the Koran. No wonder in Saudi arabia non Muslims are denied all rights and teh Grand Musfti has called for all churches to be razed to the ground. In India Muslims insist on eating beef , though the constitution calls for ban on cow slaughter in its directive principles.
> Scripturally? The answer is a big no, as the allegience of a Muslim is to the five pillars of Islam and the Koran.
> Next we come to the Geographical concept. Here again the basic allegience of a Muslim is to Mecca( wherever he may reside in the world) to which he turns to pray 5 times a day.
> Domestically a Muslim cannot integrate witha nation because he is instructed to have multiple wives and he has the authority to beat his wives when they disobey him. In addition Muslim Imam's and kazi regulalry call for Christian and Hindu women to be impregnated by Muslim men as a part of the growth of Islam.
> Politically? The answer is again in the negative as a Muslim will submit to the Mullahs who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of USA often referred to as the Great Satan. In India the Muslim Law board controls all facets of Muslim life and frequent Fatwas are issued to vote against the BJP.
> Intellectually also Dr Hammond opines that a Muslim cannot accept the American constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and the Bible is looked at with disdain by Muslims. Islam can accept no other religion and thus it is no wonder that in Muslim countries the laws of Blasphemy bring death by beheadings. In India also Muslism do not accept the constitution and prefer to be governed by Muslim Law Board and we have dated laws like triple Talaq and polygamy.
These are some of the points raised by Dr Hammond. He has written his book with the American scenario in mind and he also says that can a Muslim be a good soldier ? His answer is an emphatic No, as was seen by the man called major Nidal who shot 13 fellow soldiers dead at Fort Hood. What about India? I will let readers draw their own conclusions. Bear in mind that the Muslim concept of god is not all inclusive but exclusive. That is the problem

ABSIVAKUMAR created new article Towards taking tourirsm to new heights.
India has great potential for tourism, and it is indeed one industry which offers the maximum potential for growth, and employment oppourtunites and also huge potential for self-employment. It also drives a huge service sector growth, in terms of chartered buses, vans, cars, taxis, and what have you. The shops and establishments that thrive in places of religious and tourist interest would run into several lakhs, and this itself is growing at the rate of 25%, estimated by some experts.
Be that as it may, it still remains a grey area in many States.
What needs to be done is a huge task by itself, and it consists of several sub tasks. Let us explore each of these in some detail.
Let us take for example, what is lacking in two States, that is, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and then try to focus on what can be possibly done in other States as well.
Let us first examine Tamil Nadu in some detail. Tamil Nadu is home to two beautiful hill stations -- Kodaikanal and Ooty -- and the latter is considered the Queen of Hill stations in India, with its captivating beauty. However, each of these two hill stations are very dirty and are becoming unmanageable, with water supply being a major problem. The major problem with these two hill stations is not the lack of rainfall, but the lack of proper catchment areas, where the rain water could be harvested. These are steep hills, and water does not stay at all, and simply gets drained away.
The solution is to create small ponds and lakes where water can be harvested. Once this is done, the water problem can be easily managed.
There are a huge number of temples, and the Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation has a huge fleet of buses that are fairly well maintained, and there are a number of package tours as well. These tours also entail stay at some fairly good lodges, most of which is maintained by the State Government.
However, the State has done nothing, apart from operating a huge fleet of buses to every hill station. To capture the attention of tourists, it is essential that domestic tourism is not neglected. The Tamil Nadu Government should organize more package tours at more price points, not only to earn more revenue, but also to keep the revenues ticking. For example, there are six abodes of Lord Muruga, at places like Tiruthani, and Palani. During the festival seasons, the State Government does run some special buses, and the fleet is okay. However, there are no package tours to attract people from the neighboring States in large numbers.
There are thousands of people who visit Tirupathi, from various parts of Andhra Pradesh. They also visit Tiruthani, and further move on to the Lord Yoga Anchaneya and Lord Yoga Narasimha temples at Sholinghur, and also visit the Varadaraja Perumal temple at Kanchipuram and the Kamatchi temple, also at Kanchipuram.
The Tamil Nadu Government should charge only Rs.1500/- per head, and also provide breakfast through a tie up, with some restaurant at Tiruthani. Apart from this, they should take the passengers to both Sholinghur and the Kanchipuram temples. This is a superb way of doing business, and it should be possible to attract so many tourists if the buses are parked just outside the temple premises at Tirumula or some nearby place, so as to cause minimum dislocation to traffic.
There could also be private sector participation. Let the private parties advertise on the interiors of the buses, and but take up the total cost of maintenance of the buses, including providing spare parts. One needs to innovate all the way, and once this is done, the revenues will keep ticking.
In Mumbai, there are daily package tours and these are done very professionally. In Chennai, we do have the hop on, hop off buses, but these buses are not enough. Chennai has so many tourist spots and through some arrangement with some private lodges, the people who land in Chennai, should be attracted for two day tours, at a cost of say, Rs, 1100/-, which should include breakfast through some arrangement with some standard hotel. Once the numbers start ticking in, the hotels, like Sangeethas might be willing to reduce prices and offer special packages, for breakfast. The lodges should offer decent accommodation at prices that are ten percent less than normal prices. Since the lodges get huge traffic, the volume game will come into play, and it is indeed possible, to attract North Indians.
To attract the North Indian tourists, all arrangements should start from Chennai Central, and the buses should start from Central, go upto the lodges where there are arrangements, pick up the tourists and proceed to the tie-up restaurants for breakfast and then proceed to the different tourist places. Once such tours are arranged, it will also erase the bad impression created by the atrocious auto drivers, who fleeze North Indians, and take them for a big ride.
One does find that in Bangalore, there are several trips organized by private parties, at very reasonable prices. Tamil Nadu should take a lead from here.
The Tamil Nadu Government should name the scheme, "Dekko Chennai", and advertise it on televison too. One way of attracting the tourists is to aggressively market the product, and this should always be done. Of couse, the private parties could also be encouraged to do the job, at the same prices.
One should always remember that a huge majority of Indians are pure budget tourists. In places like TYiruchirapalli, it is still possible to find lodges for less than Rs.500/- per day, but in Chennai, costs are shooting up. Through public-private sector participation, it is possible to achieve wonders.
What has been discussed about Tamil nadu, applies to other States as well. Hyderabad, for example, is a beautiful city with so many beautiful spots. It is still possible to make tourism a far better revenue earner. Once again, the budget tourist will remain the main target, and the Telengana Government needs to understand this fact.
Tourism is a real money spinner. Creativity and innovation are required to make it a far better revenue earner, than what it is now.

Reena created new article Technique Of Juice Extraction.
Each and every individual has a desire to live a long and healthy life which is free of diseases and disorders. Thus, one persistently make efforts too to achieve good health and to maintain it for as long as possible. If one falls ill, he makes all the efforts to gain his health back as soon as possible. Juices extracted from fresh fruits and vegetables have an ability to fulfill this desire of mankind. Juices when consumed regularly can help a person live a long and healthy life and keep all diseases at bay. For this, it's essential that we extract most of the nutrients present in these fruits and vegetables. Otherwise, even regular consumption of these juices will not yield as great benefits as expected.
One rule that is very important and should always be taken care of is that juice consumed has to be fresh always. Thus, fruits and vegetables chosen to extract juice has to be fresh and free from impurities or microbes. Only freshly extracted juice in which all the essential nutrients are present is effective in curing ailments and maintaining health. Vitamin A present in certain vegetables which is also known as carotene is very susceptible to oxygen present in atmosphere. For example, if carrot is left unused after been chopped for almost 20-25 minutes then most of Vitamin A present in it gets lots. Vitamin C is present in excess in lemon, orange, raw mango and other such citric fruits. If these sources rich in Vitamin C are not used immediately when they are fresh and left unused for almost 1 month then almost 40% of its nutrients get lost. Even the cold temperature of refrigerator cannot save its nutrients from been lost. Thus, care should be taken that fruits and vegetables are fresh while purchasing them and after bringing them home they should be consumed fresh. Excess of purchase of fruits and vegetables and then storing them in refrigerator for months together is of no use. In the same way, one must take care that as soon as fruits and vegetables are chopped they should be consumed immediately that can be in the form of salad or in any other form and the same goes with extracted juices too. Preparing liters of juices together and then consuming them in small amount throughout the day will not produce any desired effect. The whole purpose of juice therapy gets lost if care is not taken. Our purpose behind consuming juices should be extracting and consuming maximum amount of nutrients from these rich sources.
Before extracting juices out of vegetables and fruits, it is essential that we clean them thoroughly. Once cleaned, their skin has to be peeled. Later they should be chopped in small pieces and transferred to juicer for extraction of fresh juice. Apart from juicer, other techniques can also be used for juice extraction but this whole process should take place quickly. Delay should not be made to extract juice after fruit or vegetable has been peeled and chopped. Likewise as soon as juice is extracted, it has to be consumed immediately. This will enable maximum benefits as maximum nutrients enter our body. Nutrients present in juice get lost when it comes in contact with air. Thus, the whole process has to be carried out efficiently and quickly. Many essential nutrients are hidden in fibers of various fruits and vegetables. Thus, during juice extraction its essential that these fibers are finely mashed. Juice has to be filtered before it is consumed. It should not contain any skin or pulp in it. The whole aim of juice therapy is that digestive system has to take minimal load and maximum benefits has to be derived. If the juice is unfiltered or else even if it contains even small traces of pulp or outer peel then essential nutrients cannot be obtained in maximum amount from this therapy.
There is a special method to drink freshly extracted juice. It should not be gulped down quickly. Rather it should be consumed very slowly. Slow consumption enables it to mix thoroughly with saliva. Digestive juices present in saliva help in breakdown of sugar present in juices and thus digestion starts in oral cavity itself even before juice enters stomach. In this way, within half an hour the whole juice gets digested and we get benefited as our body derives maximum nutrients present in it. If the whole aim of juice therapy is to achieve good health and get rid of diseases then the freshly prepared juice should never be tempered by adding sugar, salt, black pepper or any other ingredient for better taste. These kind of additions are not good for health. They can enrich the taste of juice but will exert negative effects on the essential nutrients present in the juice. If taste of certain juices which are extracted out of certain vegetables or green leafy vegetables is not good then addition of few drops of lemon juice can make wonders or even addition of a fruit to it like an apple can mask the whole unpleasant taste and aroma as well as make it more nutritious and enable us to derive maximum benefits.
Now a days lots or processed juices are available in market. These tetra packed juices are of no use when the whole aim of juice therapy is to gain good health. These juices may be far more appealing to taste buds. However, when it comes to deriving essential nutrients, they lack in this aspect. Apart from it they are made extra sweet by adding sugar or artificial sweeteners which again is not good for health but definitely can amuse taste buds. Preservatives and other chemical agents present in them are harmful to the body. Purchasing such packaged juices available in market and then storing them in refrigerator and using them as and when required is slowly becoming a trend today. It definitely saves lots of time and effort that is required to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables and then extract juices from them but the fact cannot be denied that it is nutrient deficient. Before juices are packed in tetra packs or bottles, lots of chemical treatment is done on them. The whole process destroys the nutrient present in fruits and vegetables. However, they are labelled as fresh juice and it only means that they are extracted from fresh fruits. This whole storing process and chemical treatment done on juices take away its goodness and the available packaged material is of no use with respect to health. Thus, we shouldn't make a mistake of assuming these kind of packaged juices as fresh and healthy. Companies manufacturing such juices add sugar and other sorts of chemicals to them which will preserve the whole color, aroma, taste etc..... of juice for months together. Chemicals used in the juices like benzoic acid, sulphuric acid etc..... are not good for health. Fruits first are chemically treated and then the juices are extracted from them. The whole extraction process is lengthy and goes through various steps. Most important step is that extracted juice is exposed to high temperature which will enable destruction of microbes present in it. This heating up will take away all the essential nutrients present in it.
From nutrition point of view there is a wide spread difference between fresh juices and packaged juices. For example, freshly extracted carrot juice contains 8 mg of Vitamin C whereas packaged carrot juice only contains 2 mg of Vitamin C. Spinach juice which is freshly extracted has almost 51 mg of Vitamin C and packaged spinach juice can only give 14 mg of Vitamin C. Not only these kind of packaged juices are nutrient deficient but also pose a lots of problems. The chemicals present in them are known to cause ulcer, urinary tract disorders, cancer, tooth decay etc..... Thus, seasonal fruits and vegetables have to be freshly purchased from market and freshly extracted juices have to be consumed for good health and disease free life.
Method Of Juice Extraction:-
First and foremost thing should be taken care of is that one should always purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. Sometimes, local vendors for weeks together keep the fruits and vegetables with them in their store and thereby purchasing of such aged fruits and vegetables is of no use. Most of the essential nutrients are lost on storage. Next thing is to pick each and every fruit and vegetable carefully. They should not be rotten. If there is presence of even small pin point darkened area on them then such fruit or vegetable should not be purchased. Freshness can be determined with their fullness, color, aroma etc..... Fruits and vegetables main constituent is water. Gradually as they age, water content in them decreases. Thus, fresh ones will have fullness as well as their color will be bright and also each and every fruit and vegetable has its own distinct aroma. When all these factors are present then one can purchase them. Fruits should be ripe but not extra ripe while purchasing. It is always better to consume organic fruits and vegetables as organic farming does not include spraying of harmful pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers etc.... Organic fruits and vegetables are a little expensive when compared to other fruits and vegetables but are full of essential nutrients and free of any harm. Vegetables grown in one's own garden are best when compared to any farming.
Electric juicers are considered as best appliance when in comes to extraction of juices of fruits and vegetables. These appliances easily and completely mash not only pulp but in fact even peel of fruits and vegetables and thus extract all essential nutrients from them. No other method is as effective as extraction done by juicer. If juicer is not available, one can mash fruits and vegetables or else grind them in mixer and then can filter the juice to separate juice from pulp and skin. Before subjecting fruit or vegetable for extraction, they should be washed properly. Then they should be cubed into small chunks. If their skin is not hard enough and edible then they should not be peeled as lots of nutrients are present in their skin. As soon as fruits and vegetables are chopped, immediately their juice has to be extracted. If necessary a little water can be added. The resultant juice should be free of pulp and peel and thus it should be properly filtered. Once prepared this juice has to be consumed immediately without any delay. If it is left unused or else if any sort of delay is made then most of the vitamins present in it come in contact with atmospheric air and are lost. Juice has to be slowly gulped down with each sip and not whole glass at a time. Once juice is extracted, juicer has to be cleaned properly with warm water to make it germ free. If juicer is contaminated with germs, the whole juicing system will lose its purpose and importance.
Portion Size Of Juices:-
It is well known that no matter how much amount of juice one consumes it does not exert any negative effects on the body. It only exerts positive beneficial effects on body and health. A diseased person is seen to be becoming disease free at a rapid rate. It increases the healing process, throws away the excess waste and harmful toxins out of the body and kick starts the metabolism.
People usually when become disease prone and are not able to treat their diseases or disorders with the help of any medication are seen adopting juicing therapy as their new life style. Until this time, it can be said that they have tortured their whole digestive system and body by adopting unhealthy life style and wrong and untimely eating patterns. They have been very undisciplined towards their whole body system. To correct all the ill-effects that have been exerted on the whole body system by irregular eating habits and not so disciplined life, they will require plenty amount of juices. Cancer specialists recommend drinking at least 5 or even more liters of juices everyday for cancer patients. This dose is for them who wants to be on juice therapy for a prolonged duration. A healthy individual should normally consume 2-3 liters of juices everyday to improve his health. A duration of 2-2.5 hours should be kept in between intake of juices and should be consumed 5-6 times a day. Each time 0.5 to 0.75 liters of juice can be consumed. A person who is physically fit and has adopted juice therapy and if his aim is to maintain his health in long run should also at least drink 1 liter of variety of fresh fruits and vegetable juices on a daily basis. People who have already adopted a healthy life style and are eating balanced healthy diet in which raw foods are a part of it, need not consume juices in excess amount.
Juices of ginger, onion and raw turmeric are very thick and should not be consumed more than 20-25 ml per day. 1 tsp of garlic juice per day is more than enough. In the same way, daily intake of juice of fresh coriander leaves and basil leaves should not exceed 20-25 ml. Sometimes, one needs to add a little water to extract juices from certain types of fruits and vegetables. Patients adopting juicing therapy to treat their long-term illness or chronic diseases should make use of variety of fruits and vegetables and should make it a point to drink at least 5-6 liters of juice daily. In such long-term illness and chronic diseases, juicing therapy prevents excess energy of body from been spend on digestion. Once a person comes out of his long-term illness, he can decrease the quantity of juices he was consuming and adopt a more healthy life style by including lots of raw vegetables, fruits, dry fruits and green leafy vegetables in his diet along with 1-1.5 liters of daily juice intake.
Timing Of Juice Therapy:-
A person adopting juice therapy often wants to know for how long should he follow this therapy. Another usually asked question is whether on juicing one can spend a longer duration. Research shows that one can spend their whole life time on juice therapy and wheat grass and still can see no harmful effects on health neither can one complain of depleted energy. One can derive lots of protein, vitamins, essential minerals, carbohydrates in the form of sugar from juices. But, there is no oil present in juices. Thus how will one derive the fat which is usually very essential for daily activities. Another problem is that fruits and vegetables available today are not very affordable and not easily available everywhere. When speaking about cities and small towns, fruits and vegetables are readily available but when question arises about rural areas where farming is not been done, even availability of seasonal fruits and vegetables is seen to be difficult. Thus this whole juice therapy is not very cheap. Apart from this an individual requires different varieties of foods to amuse his taste buds. Juice therapy cannot keep him bound and restricted for days together. He needs tasty foods and cannot spend his whole life drinking tasteless juices.
All these causes and conditions when kept in mind, time duration for which juicing system has to be followed can be fixed as follows:-
To get rid of long-term illness and chronic diseases, it becomes essential to follow juice therapy for a long time.
Once a person gets rid of his diseases or shows improvement in his illness can gradually decrease the amount of juices and start adopting a healthy life style by consuming lots of raw vegetables.
For good taste, once or twice a week, one can consume cooked food.
Depending on one's ability as well as depending on one's needs, one can adopt juice system if he wishes to give rest to digestive system or save physical strength.
If one wishes to keep both body and mind healthy as well as active, then one should develop a habit of drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices along with raw or cooked food. This enables dual benefits. A person is neither deprived of tasty food nor his health is getting deteriorated.
If once or twice a year for a duration of a week, if a person adopts juice therapy then his body will be detoxified and mild disorders and diseases will get corrected automatically.
Along with juices, a person has to consume raw vegetables, green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, dry fruits, cereals etc..... to maintain good health.
Juice fasting means drinking juices for whole day. One can although very well survive on juice therapy or juice fasting provided he has made up his mind to do so. Whereas others cannot survive only on juice fasting or juice therapy as strong determination and will power is very essential. If it is adopted for whole life time, it weakens digestive system and other organs of the body as digestive system is hardly made to do any digestion. As a result it weakens badly. Thus, one should not make up his mind to depend on juice therapy for life time. One thing to be kept in mind is that if main purpose of adopting juice therapy is to make oneself free from diseases, then one has to continue the usage of juices even after the disease has been cured efficiently. One should not become careless towards health and body as soon as one gets rid of his illness or disease. A healthy life style should be adopted and one should not go back to wrong eating habits where taste is always given priority above everything and nutrition takes a back seat. Any carelessness shown towards body is harmful for the health. Juice therapy can create wonders to the body and impart marvelous beneficial effects on the health. It provides good health as well as right amount of energy. At times, it comes to rescue like a life saver therapy. When all other medicines fail to show their effects, it brings a remarkable improvement in one's health status and inculcates habit of healthy living in an individual. If adequate amount of juices are consumed on a daily basis, life becomes becomes rich, peaceful, risk-free and active.
Combination Of Juices:-
Juices of pineapple, orange, carrot, apple, papaya etc..... can be consumed alone and are very tasty. However, if juicer is available, one can extract juices of various fruits and vegetables and combine them together which will create a variety.
Plums-Apple:- Equal quantities of plums and apples are taken. With the help of juicer, fresh juice is extracted and the taste of resultant juice is very different as plums are slightly citrus and apples are crunchy and less sweet.
Cocktail:- Equal quantities of pineapple, orange, grapes and apple are taken and juice is extracted. It is topped up with some ice cube or crushed ice. This is a very refreshing drink to enjoy.
Apple-Ginger-Cherry:- This juice can be prepared by mixing 1 cup of apple juice, 2 tsp juice of ginger and half cup cherry juice. This can be topped up by a few ice cubes.
Grapes-Pineapple:- 1 cup grapes and medium sized pineapple are used to extract juice. To this juice, 1 tsp of honey and some crushed ice added can greatly enrich its taste.
Black grapes-Pineapple-Figs:- 1 cup black grapes, few pieces of pineapple and 1 fig can be used to prepare this juice. This juice will have a peculiar but appealing taste.
Spinach-Carrot-Tomato:- Few spinach leaves, 3 carrots and 2 tomatoes are taken for juice extraction. 1/2 tsp lemon juice is added to the resultant juice. To this small amount of rock salt can also be added.

@ Shampa, Many a times I too have wondered whether parents could kill their own child no matter what the reasons are . But in some cases it can happen in a fit of rage.Here , if you remember during the investigation there was also the angle that Aarushi was an adopted child and when police went hunting for records they were unable to get any of them although verbally many agreed that she was adopted. I am just citing this not because an adopted child is any less yours than your own.

rambabu replied to the topic What causes low self esteem in Children.
Self esteem be it in children or adults depends mainly on the parental treatment as well as on the environment outside. Children are prone to learning easily good or bad effortlessly. This trait in children should be known to the parents. And accordingly, parents adopt a suitable way. This is the only solution that raise or dip the self esteem levels in a child.

Indeed a paradox. Being honest is not the solution. But molding one's self in tune with the times is what required. If one has firm faith in Honesty, it's OK. But if that faith ignores the contemporary times, the problems arise. This is clearly indicated in the link article of this post. And ultimately, its the option left to the individual concerned

Self esteem gets created or broken only due to the environment of the family. Children grow up with self esteem only when they get nurtured with love and care in totality. If one of the parents do not express love for the child properly or humiliates the child or anyone at home then that child starts leading a fearful life and thus self esteem gets a big blow.

I agree with that, most of the time it is the parents or a close family member who is responsible for making the child lose his or her self confidence, which can have lasting impact in their lives. Some of the students I have come across are very social and good with their relationships while at school but parents come out with a different story of their being rude and revolting at every level.I feel the fault lies with the parents or home atmosphere, which they seldom accept nor take any measures to correct .

MG Singh created new article Crimes of The West:Alas! Wish Saddam Hussein was Alive Today .
The entire Middle East is in ferment and Iraq along with Syria are facing a civil war of immense magnitude. The ISI and its sister organizations have spread murder, rape and mayhem in the entire region. The saddest news is that coptic Christians living in these regions are facing the wrath of Muslim sectarian crisis. In Syria the Muslim extremist organizations recently butchered 400 Christian men and impregnated over 3000 Christian girls. Such anarchy was never seen in the Middle East for over a 100 years, even when it was part of the Ottoman Empire.
In reality the western powers started their devious games right after the defeat of Turkey after World war I and the demise of the Ottoman Empire. The entire Middle East was carved up by the French and the British on a study table with a map and is known as the Sykes-Picot agreement. The Americans also jumped in later and along with the English created the monster state of Saudi Arabia. This nation instead of helping the refugees fleeing the strife zone, offers to build 200 Mosques in Europe. What a warped mind !
During this period Iraq had a revolution and the entire ruling dynasty which was a stooge of the United States was wiped out by a revolution led by Lieutenant General Kassem in 1958. He was overthrown and a Sunni Muslim , for long a member of the Bath party named Saddam Hussein seized power. For long Saddam Hussein was a pet of the CIA, who egged him to fight the war with Iran and invade Kuwait. But in the nineties Saddam fell foul of the USA and it was decided to remove him and usher in a more friendly regime to the Americans in Iraq. The Americans thought that like in previous times , their writ will run and Iraq would be in their pocket. The Americans failed to realize the immense contribution of Saddam to containment of Al Qaeda and other Muslim extremist organizations. Records tell us that Saddam hanged scores of Muslim extremists and one can safely say that the bloodshed, now ongoing like an epidemic was non-existant. Saddam was however a nationalist and tried to steer an independent path from the USA. More important he was secular and Christians and other minorities were safe under him. It is on record that he was the sole Muslim leader who supported India on Kashmir. Yes ! he was an autocrat, but that is a small price to pay to avoid internecine conflict and murder of the minorities and moderates and usher in a regime based on barbarism.
One is now nostaligic about the rule of Saddam as his exit has opened a Pandoras Box and the US and the West are clueless as to how to deal with the problem. They have tried to distinguish between moderate Islamists and extremists , but have failed to realize that all Muslim extremsist are the same and there is nothing like moderate Islamic extremists. Their meddling has unleashed forces that are about to devour Europe itself, with the millions flooding to that Continent. The fat is in the fire and the West will pay a dear price for allowing American special forces to execute Saddam. The birds have come home to roost.

MG Singh created new article Do Muslims Assimilate With Local Places and Nations.
I was in Europe for almost 2 weeks on a business and holiday trip. Frankly it was the wrong time to visit Europe as the entire continent was charged with the advent of over one million Muslim refugees. Europe does need labor, because of a declining population trend, but many are advising caution in accepting Muslim refugees as they are almost like oil and water and never assimilate with local culture. They also bring a crime wave and with Europe having abolished the death penalty, crime by immigrant Muslims is showing a 100% rise in crime. The net result is that these Mulsim criminals serve a few years and are released and then they are back to their old ways.
Studies have shown that 80% of Muslims in most European countries are on state welfare and they have all the time in the world. These Muslims resort to rape and abduction which has shown a 90% rise as far as statistics is concerned. Each Muslim migrant on an average brings in 8-10 relations over a period of time and these form their own colonies, where teh Sharia rules. I was shocked to learn that in Paris and London there are areas known as Muslim quarters where no local European enters and even the police go in only if its a must. These Muslim colonies have scant respect for the law of the land and adminster justice in their own way through the Sharia. Most of the Muslims bring their own archaic laws against women and implement them.
Two cases caught my attention. In one a Muslim overran and killed his daughter with his car as he felt she was to westernised. In another case a Muslim man murdered his wife as she had decided to ask for a divorce. Muslims also have scant respect for the legal system of the nation they reside in and mete out justice as per the Sharia. These are facts that cannot be brushed under the carpet.
Muslism are also egged on to spread " Islam" by marrying Christian girls and also to take part in terror attacks. France which has the largest Muslim majority in Europe is facing repeated terrorist attacks from home grown French Muslims. Bombings and killings are to the fore and in one case a Muslim worker beheaded his Christian boss for no reason except as written in his holy book, he would go to paradise in case he killed a non believer.
The facts that emerge is the Muslims where ever they reside, do not assimilate with the local customs and mores, but import their own philosophy. It would be perhaps acceptable in case they confined their thoughts to them, but they wish to spread Islam. The Muslims are thus not really acceptable in Europe now, but political leadership is forced to accept these refugees and nmany have told me that Europe is going to face the sternest test of survival in the years to come.
In India also despite Muslims having lived here for hundreds of years, a majority do not think of India as a home and we have cases where they insist on their own personal law and refuse to sing the national song " Vande Matram". They also do not educate their daughters. On a holiday in Kashmir I had hired a taxi driver. He was a nice man, but in conversation he yold me that he did not educate his daughters and would marry them off " soon".

bhuyali saroj created new article suiciding farmers.
Farmer suicides …. These lines we are reading and hearing in our daily newspaper, news channel and internet.
What are their problems? Why they are doing all these? Instead of looking in these matters the ministers of India are going to somewhere else and some of the ministers are talking beyond the topic they are talking about the meat which is not near the topic also. How shame for us, that the farmer of India are not getting small things like food which will make them alive. The ministers of India and also the people of India should think in this matter very strongly because the farmers are not only important for their family but also they are important for the country. If India wants to improve their status in the world the people and every citizen of India needs to stop all these non-sense work that the farmers are doing. Nobody can experience what is going through in the mind of the farmers what pain they are bearing which let them to do suicide. The farmers should be empowered with strong laws and maximum benefits because if the agricultural sector of India run smoothly then the other entire sector will get good profits. India is a agriculture land and we all know this that if India improves his agriculture problem then this country India will enjoy a great power in the world but then also we neglect, we hardly concentrate in this zone. The family is not only losing a great father, a great husband, a great son, a great brother but in some way the country is losing a great honest hard working labour who works day and night to give some useful product to their countrymen. Some of the farmer suicide just because they think that after their death the family of his will get some compensation from the government which will make their family alive but they don’t think that if they die the pain of his death will be more painful for his family in comparison of his being in this world. There are many educated person in India and some of them are even highly qualified and extra talented, they are many colleges of science which is improving very vastly in India. My question is for ministers and the present government why they are not taking the ideas of such an extra talented personalities, why they are not letting them to come front and letting them to help farmers and I am very much sure that if they do all these then there is no days left when we see that we are seeing an extra ordinary changes in the zone of agriculture and the farmers association.
Conclusion
Well I think that there should be a help care regarding farmer. In which the farmer will get loan and some extra money and better life in comparison of his present life which they are having now which are letting them suicide. And also some education should be given to the farmers related to weather changes and soil suitable for which crops. There should every possibility given to the farmers which will make them a bit happiness and I think that they don’t need money or anything expensive items all they need is a love and some food which will make their family happy and alive. Please help farmers because they are real heroes of our country and very important for our country and if the government are not helping them then we should take a step to help them.

Shampa Sadhya created new article Mindset of the families can help to curb Ragging.
Ragging is one such word which spontaneously makes us think about educational institutions. It is a known fact that in colleges the first year students get ragged by their seniors. There are always two sides of a coin so is the case with the story about ragging in the educational institutions. Sometimes ragging is conducted by the seniors only to make the juniors introduce themselves in a very light-hearted manner. In the process all the students have some fun and later juniors and seniors become friends but there are immense cases which speak just the opposite. There are horrific tales of ragging which even caused death of the new entrants in the colleges especially the ragging that takes place in the hostels is always a matter of concern. It becomes very much physical that’s why parents and guardians remain afraid until they get to learn that their child had adjusted happily in the new educational environment.
The worst part is, ragging usually takes an embarrassing turn and even affects emotions as well as self-esteem of the ragged persons tremendously. I would say ragging is basically a curse that falls on the youths for simply no fault of theirs and it remains at the back of one’s mind throughout their lives but today I want to drift a bit and bring out some other relevant points related to ragging. Actually, ragging which means teasing is not only a part of our educational institutions be it in residential schools or colleges and students are not the only sufferers but many other sections of people get ragged each and every day in the society, family and world at large. They are just known by different names such as bullying, discrimination, untouchability and these are very much present in the society for the last so many decades. Listing down the points to substantiate my viewpoint:
1. Societal Discrimination: People get ragged on the basis of class, caste, clan, creed, and religion too. Many times the minorities are laughed at their faith, tradition and culture only to prove the supremacy of the majority. Isn't it ridiculous? How do these people acquire an upper hand and get the right to humiliate others. One can understand if someone tries to remove some superstition by pointing out the right factors in a decent manner but by passing indecent comments or gets physically violent then the incidents turn out to be very insulting and very infuriating too.
2. Eve teasing: It is another form of ragging. God created both male and female but I wonder how the eve teasers got into a notion that they are the supreme folks. They pass lewd comments and make degrading gestures. It does not end here rather some go further and indulge into molestation and rape. This humiliation is simply unbearable for the victims and even they refrain themselves from disclosing the truth in public.
3. Gender Bias: There are many families who never hesitate from making gender discrimination. Boy child is well treated and girl child is hurled with abuses. Even discrimination gets so worse that girl child gets ignored in terms of quality of food and various facilities such as education and many more. Such families do not mind to ignore the health issues of a girl child while a boy child is given utmost attention even at a very nominal health disorder.
4. Skin Colour: Ragging takes place even on the basis of complexion. There are some parents who differentiate between their own children due to the colour of the skin. Fair complexioned children receive more attention and love from their parents and other family members while the dark skinned children are made to feel left out.
It is always easy to blame someone but we never try to single out what made the person behave in an unruly manner. The families which opt to make discrimination of various kinds impact the children very deeply. Some children take it into their stride, some revolt vehemently, some bring it into action after a certain age and very few act against the odd practice and try to emphasize on making no discrimination.
Who can deny that the family is the first teacher of every child? It’s the fundamental truth that every child learns the basics of life from their parents and the immediate family at home. If the family preaches wrong principles of life through their wrongdoings then God save the children.
Upbringing is vital: If we want a safe and healthy atmosphere in educational institutions then the first and foremost change we need to bring is in our upbringing of our children. The parents and the immediate families are responsible on imparting good values to their children. Thus, the onus is upon the seniors to act very sensibly so that their children become sensible members of the society. Any kind of ragging at home should be stopped at any cost and I can assure that a high percentage of ragging at the college will see the dust. Most of the students are not hooligans only they are negatively channelled. So, a positive change in the family’s mindset will simply broaden their mindset too.
In our society ragging has been kept aside as if it’s only the matter of educational institutions so others have no responsibility towards it. But, that’s not the fact. Ragging is just an after-effect of all kinds of discrimination or bullying the child faces at home and in the society. Those students who take up ragging simply as a form of casual introduction is fine but those who make it an ego hassle then no one knows how far the situation can worsen. Thus, come on! Let’s curb ragging and give the upcoming generation a healthy student’s life.

MG Singh created new article Facts from DrPeter Hammond's Book " Slavery Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threats".
Recently I recieved a book written by Dr.Peter Hammond titled " Slavery Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat" from a friend who has retired from the Central Industrial Security Force. I have read the book and found that it gives a mine of information. The book covers a vast arena, but for this article I shall b ring out the exclusive nature of Islam, which is the root cause of Muslims not integrating with the country where they have settled. Muslims in India or France or for that matter anywhere do not integrate with the culture of the country they have adopted as their home. In India also there is an exclusiveness in Islam and many people ( except some politicians) have observed that Islam is something distinct and more like oil and water and just cannot mix up with the host nations culture. No wonder Muslims in India refuse to sing the national song " Vande Matram" and that includes our Vice President who is a Muslim.
As per Dr. Hammond Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult . The question then arises as to what Islam is ? As per the writer Islam is a system of life that dominates all facet of its followers. The author justifies this defination of Islam and points out that Islam is the only religion that has religious, legal, political, economic, social and military aspects, that are followed even in the 21st century. One cannot relate these aspects to any other religion in the modern age.
Dr Hammond asks a question whether a Muslim can be a good and loyal soldier or a good American( I will add Indian) or citizen of the country he has chosen to settle in. The answer is a big " NO" and he justifies his repy as will be brought out in the succeeding paragraphs. All these points are mutually exclusive and no component can be ignored. The points raised are as follows
> Can a Muslim integrate theologically? the answer is no, becuause his allegience is to Allah, the Moon god of Saudi arabia
> Religiously ? the answer is again no as, because no other religion is accepted by Allah except Islam. One can refer to chapter 2:256 of the Koran. No wonder in Saudi arabia non Muslims are denied all rights and teh Grand Musfti has called for all churches to be razed to the ground. In India Muslims insist on eating beef , though the constitution calls for ban on cow slaughter in its directive principles.
> Scripturally? The answer is a big no, as the allegience of a Muslim is to the five pillars of Islam and the Koran.
> Next we come to the Geographical concept. Here again the basic allegience of a Muslim is to Mecca( wherever he may reside in the world) to which he turns to pray 5 times a day.
> Domestically a Muslim cannot integrate witha nation because he is instructed to have multiple wives and he has the authority to beat his wives when they disobey him. In addition Muslim Imam's and kazi regulalry call for Christian and Hindu women to be impregnated by Muslim men as a part of the growth of Islam.
> Politically? The answer is again in the negative as a Muslim will submit to the Mullahs who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of USA often referred to as the Great Satan. In India the Muslim Law board controls all facets of Muslim life and frequent Fatwas are issued to vote against the BJP.
> Intellectually also Dr Hammond opines that a Muslim cannot accept the American constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and the Bible is looked at with disdain by Muslims. Islam can accept no other religion and thus it is no wonder that in Muslim countries the laws of Blasphemy bring death by beheadings. In India also Muslism do not accept the constitution and prefer to be governed by Muslim Law Board and we have dated laws like triple Talaq and polygamy.
These are some of the points raised by Dr Hammond. He has written his book with the American scenario in mind and he also says that can a Muslim be a good soldier ? His answer is an emphatic No, as was seen by the man called major Nidal who shot 13 fellow soldiers dead at Fort Hood. What about India? I will let readers draw their own conclusions. Bear in mind that the Muslim concept of god is not all inclusive but exclusive. That is the problem

ABSIVAKUMAR created new article Towards taking tourirsm to new heights.
India has great potential for tourism, and it is indeed one industry which offers the maximum potential for growth, and employment oppourtunites and also huge potential for self-employment. It also drives a huge service sector growth, in terms of chartered buses, vans, cars, taxis, and what have you. The shops and establishments that thrive in places of religious and tourist interest would run into several lakhs, and this itself is growing at the rate of 25%, estimated by some experts.
Be that as it may, it still remains a grey area in many States.
What needs to be done is a huge task by itself, and it consists of several sub tasks. Let us explore each of these in some detail.
Let us take for example, what is lacking in two States, that is, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and then try to focus on what can be possibly done in other States as well.
Let us first examine Tamil Nadu in some detail. Tamil Nadu is home to two beautiful hill stations -- Kodaikanal and Ooty -- and the latter is considered the Queen of Hill stations in India, with its captivating beauty. However, each of these two hill stations are very dirty and are becoming unmanageable, with water supply being a major problem. The major problem with these two hill stations is not the lack of rainfall, but the lack of proper catchment areas, where the rain water could be harvested. These are steep hills, and water does not stay at all, and simply gets drained away.
The solution is to create small ponds and lakes where water can be harvested. Once this is done, the water problem can be easily managed.
There are a huge number of temples, and the Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation has a huge fleet of buses that are fairly well maintained, and there are a number of package tours as well. These tours also entail stay at some fairly good lodges, most of which is maintained by the State Government.
However, the State has done nothing, apart from operating a huge fleet of buses to every hill station. To capture the attention of tourists, it is essential that domestic tourism is not neglected. The Tamil Nadu Government should organize more package tours at more price points, not only to earn more revenue, but also to keep the revenues ticking. For example, there are six abodes of Lord Muruga, at places like Tiruthani, and Palani. During the festival seasons, the State Government does run some special buses, and the fleet is okay. However, there are no package tours to attract people from the neighboring States in large numbers.
There are thousands of people who visit Tirupathi, from various parts of Andhra Pradesh. They also visit Tiruthani, and further move on to the Lord Yoga Anchaneya and Lord Yoga Narasimha temples at Sholinghur, and also visit the Varadaraja Perumal temple at Kanchipuram and the Kamatchi temple, also at Kanchipuram.
The Tamil Nadu Government should charge only Rs.1500/- per head, and also provide breakfast through a tie up, with some restaurant at Tiruthani. Apart from this, they should take the passengers to both Sholinghur and the Kanchipuram temples. This is a superb way of doing business, and it should be possible to attract so many tourists if the buses are parked just outside the temple premises at Tirumula or some nearby place, so as to cause minimum dislocation to traffic.
There could also be private sector participation. Let the private parties advertise on the interiors of the buses, and but take up the total cost of maintenance of the buses, including providing spare parts. One needs to innovate all the way, and once this is done, the revenues will keep ticking.
In Mumbai, there are daily package tours and these are done very professionally. In Chennai, we do have the hop on, hop off buses, but these buses are not enough. Chennai has so many tourist spots and through some arrangement with some private lodges, the people who land in Chennai, should be attracted for two day tours, at a cost of say, Rs, 1100/-, which should include breakfast through some arrangement with some standard hotel. Once the numbers start ticking in, the hotels, like Sangeethas might be willing to reduce prices and offer special packages, for breakfast. The lodges should offer decent accommodation at prices that are ten percent less than normal prices. Since the lodges get huge traffic, the volume game will come into play, and it is indeed possible, to attract North Indians.
To attract the North Indian tourists, all arrangements should start from Chennai Central, and the buses should start from Central, go upto the lodges where there are arrangements, pick up the tourists and proceed to the tie-up restaurants for breakfast and then proceed to the different tourist places. Once such tours are arranged, it will also erase the bad impression created by the atrocious auto drivers, who fleeze North Indians, and take them for a big ride.
One does find that in Bangalore, there are several trips organized by private parties, at very reasonable prices. Tamil Nadu should take a lead from here.
The Tamil Nadu Government should name the scheme, "Dekko Chennai", and advertise it on televison too. One way of attracting the tourists is to aggressively market the product, and this should always be done. Of couse, the private parties could also be encouraged to do the job, at the same prices.
One should always remember that a huge majority of Indians are pure budget tourists. In places like TYiruchirapalli, it is still possible to find lodges for less than Rs.500/- per day, but in Chennai, costs are shooting up. Through public-private sector participation, it is possible to achieve wonders.
What has been discussed about Tamil nadu, applies to other States as well. Hyderabad, for example, is a beautiful city with so many beautiful spots. It is still possible to make tourism a far better revenue earner. Once again, the budget tourist will remain the main target, and the Telengana Government needs to understand this fact.
Tourism is a real money spinner. Creativity and innovation are required to make it a far better revenue earner, than what it is now.

Each and every individual has a desire to live a long and healthy life which is free of diseases and disorders. Thus, one persistently make efforts too to achieve good health and to maintain it for as long as possible. If one falls ill, he makes all the efforts to gain his health back as soon as possible. Juices extracted from fresh fruits and vegetables have an ability to fulfill this desire of mankind. Juices when consumed regularly can help a person live a long and healthy life and keep all diseases at bay. For this, it's essential that we extract most of the nutrients present in these fruits and vegetables. Otherwise, even regular consumption of these juices will not yield as great benefits as expected.
One rule that is very important and should always be taken care of is that juice consumed has to be fresh always. Thus, fruits and vegetables chosen to extract juice has to be fresh and free from impurities or microbes. Only freshly extracted juice in which all the essential nutrients are present is effective in curing ailments and maintaining health. Vitamin A present in certain vegetables which is also known as carotene is very susceptible to oxygen present in atmosphere. For example, if carrot is left unused after been chopped for almost 20-25 minutes then most of Vitamin A present in it gets lots. Vitamin C is present in excess in lemon, orange, raw mango and other such citric fruits. If these sources rich in Vitamin C are not used immediately when they are fresh and left unused for almost 1 month then almost 40% of its nutrients get lost. Even the cold temperature of refrigerator cannot save its nutrients from been lost. Thus, care should be taken that fruits and vegetables are fresh while purchasing them and after bringing them home they should be consumed fresh. Excess of purchase of fruits and vegetables and then storing them in refrigerator for months together is of no use. In the same way, one must take care that as soon as fruits and vegetables are chopped they should be consumed immediately that can be in the form of salad or in any other form and the same goes with extracted juices too. Preparing liters of juices together and then consuming them in small amount throughout the day will not produce any desired effect. The whole purpose of juice therapy gets lost if care is not taken. Our purpose behind consuming juices should be extracting and consuming maximum amount of nutrients from these rich sources.
Before extracting juices out of vegetables and fruits, it is essential that we clean them thoroughly. Once cleaned, their skin has to be peeled. Later they should be chopped in small pieces and transferred to juicer for extraction of fresh juice. Apart from juicer, other techniques can also be used for juice extraction but this whole process should take place quickly. Delay should not be made to extract juice after fruit or vegetable has been peeled and chopped. Likewise as soon as juice is extracted, it has to be consumed immediately. This will enable maximum benefits as maximum nutrients enter our body. Nutrients present in juice get lost when it comes in contact with air. Thus, the whole process has to be carried out efficiently and quickly. Many essential nutrients are hidden in fibers of various fruits and vegetables. Thus, during juice extraction its essential that these fibers are finely mashed. Juice has to be filtered before it is consumed. It should not contain any skin or pulp in it. The whole aim of juice therapy is that digestive system has to take minimal load and maximum benefits has to be derived. If the juice is unfiltered or else even if it contains even small traces of pulp or outer peel then essential nutrients cannot be obtained in maximum amount from this therapy.
There is a special method to drink freshly extracted juice. It should not be gulped down quickly. Rather it should be consumed very slowly. Slow consumption enables it to mix thoroughly with saliva. Digestive juices present in saliva help in breakdown of sugar present in juices and thus digestion starts in oral cavity itself even before juice enters stomach. In this way, within half an hour the whole juice gets digested and we get benefited as our body derives maximum nutrients present in it. If the whole aim of juice therapy is to achieve good health and get rid of diseases then the freshly prepared juice should never be tempered by adding sugar, salt, black pepper or any other ingredient for better taste. These kind of additions are not good for health. They can enrich the taste of juice but will exert negative effects on the essential nutrients present in the juice. If taste of certain juices which are extracted out of certain vegetables or green leafy vegetables is not good then addition of few drops of lemon juice can make wonders or even addition of a fruit to it like an apple can mask the whole unpleasant taste and aroma as well as make it more nutritious and enable us to derive maximum benefits.
Now a days lots or processed juices are available in market. These tetra packed juices are of no use when the whole aim of juice therapy is to gain good health. These juices may be far more appealing to taste buds. However, when it comes to deriving essential nutrients, they lack in this aspect. Apart from it they are made extra sweet by adding sugar or artificial sweeteners which again is not good for health but definitely can amuse taste buds. Preservatives and other chemical agents present in them are harmful to the body. Purchasing such packaged juices available in market and then storing them in refrigerator and using them as and when required is slowly becoming a trend today. It definitely saves lots of time and effort that is required to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables and then extract juices from them but the fact cannot be denied that it is nutrient deficient. Before juices are packed in tetra packs or bottles, lots of chemical treatment is done on them. The whole process destroys the nutrient present in fruits and vegetables. However, they are labelled as fresh juice and it only means that they are extracted from fresh fruits. This whole storing process and chemical treatment done on juices take away its goodness and the available packaged material is of no use with respect to health. Thus, we shouldn't make a mistake of assuming these kind of packaged juices as fresh and healthy. Companies manufacturing such juices add sugar and other sorts of chemicals to them which will preserve the whole color, aroma, taste etc..... of juice for months together. Chemicals used in the juices like benzoic acid, sulphuric acid etc..... are not good for health. Fruits first are chemically treated and then the juices are extracted from them. The whole extraction process is lengthy and goes through various steps. Most important step is that extracted juice is exposed to high temperature which will enable destruction of microbes present in it. This heating up will take away all the essential nutrients present in it.
From nutrition point of view there is a wide spread difference between fresh juices and packaged juices. For example, freshly extracted carrot juice contains 8 mg of Vitamin C whereas packaged carrot juice only contains 2 mg of Vitamin C. Spinach juice which is freshly extracted has almost 51 mg of Vitamin C and packaged spinach juice can only give 14 mg of Vitamin C. Not only these kind of packaged juices are nutrient deficient but also pose a lots of problems. The chemicals present in them are known to cause ulcer, urinary tract disorders, cancer, tooth decay etc..... Thus, seasonal fruits and vegetables have to be freshly purchased from market and freshly extracted juices have to be consumed for good health and disease free life.
Method Of Juice Extraction:-
First and foremost thing should be taken care of is that one should always purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. Sometimes, local vendors for weeks together keep the fruits and vegetables with them in their store and thereby purchasing of such aged fruits and vegetables is of no use. Most of the essential nutrients are lost on storage. Next thing is to pick each and every fruit and vegetable carefully. They should not be rotten. If there is presence of even small pin point darkened area on them then such fruit or vegetable should not be purchased. Freshness can be determined with their fullness, color, aroma etc..... Fruits and vegetables main constituent is water. Gradually as they age, water content in them decreases. Thus, fresh ones will have fullness as well as their color will be bright and also each and every fruit and vegetable has its own distinct aroma. When all these factors are present then one can purchase them. Fruits should be ripe but not extra ripe while purchasing. It is always better to consume organic fruits and vegetables as organic farming does not include spraying of harmful pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers etc.... Organic fruits and vegetables are a little expensive when compared to other fruits and vegetables but are full of essential nutrients and free of any harm. Vegetables grown in one's own garden are best when compared to any farming.
Electric juicers are considered as best appliance when in comes to extraction of juices of fruits and vegetables. These appliances easily and completely mash not only pulp but in fact even peel of fruits and vegetables and thus extract all essential nutrients from them. No other method is as effective as extraction done by juicer. If juicer is not available, one can mash fruits and vegetables or else grind them in mixer and then can filter the juice to separate juice from pulp and skin. Before subjecting fruit or vegetable for extraction, they should be washed properly. Then they should be cubed into small chunks. If their skin is not hard enough and edible then they should not be peeled as lots of nutrients are present in their skin. As soon as fruits and vegetables are chopped, immediately their juice has to be extracted. If necessary a little water can be added. The resultant juice should be free of pulp and peel and thus it should be properly filtered. Once prepared this juice has to be consumed immediately without any delay. If it is left unused or else if any sort of delay is made then most of the vitamins present in it come in contact with atmospheric air and are lost. Juice has to be slowly gulped down with each sip and not whole glass at a time. Once juice is extracted, juicer has to be cleaned properly with warm water to make it germ free. If juicer is contaminated with germs, the whole juicing system will lose its purpose and importance.
Portion Size Of Juices:-
It is well known that no matter how much amount of juice one consumes it does not exert any negative effects on the body. It only exerts positive beneficial effects on body and health. A diseased person is seen to be becoming disease free at a rapid rate. It increases the healing process, throws away the excess waste and harmful toxins out of the body and kick starts the metabolism.
People usually when become disease prone and are not able to treat their diseases or disorders with the help of any medication are seen adopting juicing therapy as their new life style. Until this time, it can be said that they have tortured their whole digestive system and body by adopting unhealthy life style and wrong and untimely eating patterns. They have been very undisciplined towards their whole body system. To correct all the ill-effects that have been exerted on the whole body system by irregular eating habits and not so disciplined life, they will require plenty amount of juices. Cancer specialists recommend drinking at least 5 or even more liters of juices everyday for cancer patients. This dose is for them who wants to be on juice therapy for a prolonged duration. A healthy individual should normally consume 2-3 liters of juices everyday to improve his health. A duration of 2-2.5 hours should be kept in between intake of juices and should be consumed 5-6 times a day. Each time 0.5 to 0.75 liters of juice can be consumed. A person who is physically fit and has adopted juice therapy and if his aim is to maintain his health in long run should also at least drink 1 liter of variety of fresh fruits and vegetable juices on a daily basis. People who have already adopted a healthy life style and are eating balanced healthy diet in which raw foods are a part of it, need not consume juices in excess amount.
Juices of ginger, onion and raw turmeric are very thick and should not be consumed more than 20-25 ml per day. 1 tsp of garlic juice per day is more than enough. In the same way, daily intake of juice of fresh coriander leaves and basil leaves should not exceed 20-25 ml. Sometimes, one needs to add a little water to extract juices from certain types of fruits and vegetables. Patients adopting juicing therapy to treat their long-term illness or chronic diseases should make use of variety of fruits and vegetables and should make it a point to drink at least 5-6 liters of juice daily. In such long-term illness and chronic diseases, juicing therapy prevents excess energy of body from been spend on digestion. Once a person comes out of his long-term illness, he can decrease the quantity of juices he was consuming and adopt a more healthy life style by including lots of raw vegetables, fruits, dry fruits and green leafy vegetables in his diet along with 1-1.5 liters of daily juice intake.
Timing Of Juice Therapy:-
A person adopting juice therapy often wants to know for how long should he follow this therapy. Another usually asked question is whether on juicing one can spend a longer duration. Research shows that one can spend their whole life time on juice therapy and wheat grass and still can see no harmful effects on health neither can one complain of depleted energy. One can derive lots of protein, vitamins, essential minerals, carbohydrates in the form of sugar from juices. But, there is no oil present in juices. Thus how will one derive the fat which is usually very essential for daily activities. Another problem is that fruits and vegetables available today are not very affordable and not easily available everywhere. When speaking about cities and small towns, fruits and vegetables are readily available but when question arises about rural areas where farming is not been done, even availability of seasonal fruits and vegetables is seen to be difficult. Thus this whole juice therapy is not very cheap. Apart from this an individual requires different varieties of foods to amuse his taste buds. Juice therapy cannot keep him bound and restricted for days together. He needs tasty foods and cannot spend his whole life drinking tasteless juices.
All these causes and conditions when kept in mind, time duration for which juicing system has to be followed can be fixed as follows:-
To get rid of long-term illness and chronic diseases, it becomes essential to follow juice therapy for a long time.
Once a person gets rid of his diseases or shows improvement in his illness can gradually decrease the amount of juices and start adopting a healthy life style by consuming lots of raw vegetables.
For good taste, once or twice a week, one can consume cooked food.
Depending on one's ability as well as depending on one's needs, one can adopt juice system if he wishes to give rest to digestive system or save physical strength.
If one wishes to keep both body and mind healthy as well as active, then one should develop a habit of drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices along with raw or cooked food. This enables dual benefits. A person is neither deprived of tasty food nor his health is getting deteriorated.
If once or twice a year for a duration of a week, if a person adopts juice therapy then his body will be detoxified and mild disorders and diseases will get corrected automatically.
Along with juices, a person has to consume raw vegetables, green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, dry fruits, cereals etc..... to maintain good health.
Juice fasting means drinking juices for whole day. One can although very well survive on juice therapy or juice fasting provided he has made up his mind to do so. Whereas others cannot survive only on juice fasting or juice therapy as strong determination and will power is very essential. If it is adopted for whole life time, it weakens digestive system and other organs of the body as digestive system is hardly made to do any digestion. As a result it weakens badly. Thus, one should not make up his mind to depend on juice therapy for life time. One thing to be kept in mind is that if main purpose of adopting juice therapy is to make oneself free from diseases, then one has to continue the usage of juices even after the disease has been cured efficiently. One should not become careless towards health and body as soon as one gets rid of his illness or disease. A healthy life style should be adopted and one should not go back to wrong eating habits where taste is always given priority above everything and nutrition takes a back seat. Any carelessness shown towards body is harmful for the health. Juice therapy can create wonders to the body and impart marvelous beneficial effects on the health. It provides good health as well as right amount of energy. At times, it comes to rescue like a life saver therapy. When all other medicines fail to show their effects, it brings a remarkable improvement in one's health status and inculcates habit of healthy living in an individual. If adequate amount of juices are consumed on a daily basis, life becomes becomes rich, peaceful, risk-free and active.
Combination Of Juices:-
Juices of pineapple, orange, carrot, apple, papaya etc..... can be consumed alone and are very tasty. However, if juicer is available, one can extract juices of various fruits and vegetables and combine them together which will create a variety.
Plums-Apple:- Equal quantities of plums and apples are taken. With the help of juicer, fresh juice is extracted and the taste of resultant juice is very different as plums are slightly citrus and apples are crunchy and less sweet.
Cocktail:- Equal quantities of pineapple, orange, grapes and apple are taken and juice is extracted. It is topped up with some ice cube or crushed ice. This is a very refreshing drink to enjoy.
Apple-Ginger-Cherry:- This juice can be prepared by mixing 1 cup of apple juice, 2 tsp juice of ginger and half cup cherry juice. This can be topped up by a few ice cubes.
Grapes-Pineapple:- 1 cup grapes and medium sized pineapple are used to extract juice. To this juice, 1 tsp of honey and some crushed ice added can greatly enrich its taste.
Black grapes-Pineapple-Figs:- 1 cup black grapes, few pieces of pineapple and 1 fig can be used to prepare this juice. This juice will have a peculiar but appealing taste.
Spinach-Carrot-Tomato:- Few spinach leaves, 3 carrots and 2 tomatoes are taken for juice extraction. 1/2 tsp lemon juice is added to the resultant juice. To this small amount of rock salt can also be added.

usha manohar replied to the topic Should popular personalities judge a person's credibility?.
@ Shampa, Many a times I too have wondered whether parents could kill their own child no matter what the reasons are . But in some cases it can happen in a fit of rage.Here , if you remember during the investigation there was also the angle that Aarushi was an adopted child and when police went hunting for records they were unable to get any of them although verbally many agreed that she was adopted. I am just citing this not because an adopted child is any less yours than your own.

rambabu replied to the topic What causes low self esteem in Children.
Self esteem be it in children or adults depends mainly on the parental treatment as well as on the environment outside. Children are prone to learning easily good or bad effortlessly. This trait in children should be known to the parents. And accordingly, parents adopt a suitable way. This is the only solution that raise or dip the self esteem levels in a child.

Honesty is definitely not paying positive returns in this corrupt situation but I would say it's the best policy because it gives peace to one's mind and heart as well as keeps the conscience totally clean. Honesty is not required in work place only but at home, among friends, with neighbours and so on is also very much needed. Dishonesty spoils every relationship so I am always in favour of honesty.
There is a paradox about honesty. even the dishonst expect 'honesty' from others. A smuggler also likes ;honest enployees'. In fact, the corrupt and dishonest 'very honestly' share the 'benefit of unlawful income' among themselves.
Indeed a paradox. Being honest is not the solution. But molding one's self in tune with the times is what required. If one has firm faith in Honesty, it's OK. But if that faith ignores the contemporary times, the problems arise. This is clearly indicated in the link article of this post. And ultimately, its the option left to the individual concerned

Shampa Sadhya replied to the topic What causes low self esteem in Children.
Self esteem gets created or broken only due to the environment of the family. Children grow up with self esteem only when they get nurtured with love and care in totality. If one of the parents do not express love for the child properly or humiliates the child or anyone at home then that child starts leading a fearful life and thus self esteem gets a big blow.
