Binary thoughts

With Internet, we are easily track able. like where are we, what are we doing etc. an advancement with iPhone and I pad, even without installation, both worked, listed out all our contacts, imp info - our private details are in the air. Though an advantage and a pride, of being popular.... An important truth lies deep inside. With these gadgets, we can be caught, anywhere anytime. Not only myself, but my entire contact list. Scary, without doubts, we are in the very last stages as mentioned in scriptures. And people just love to record everything in the Internet, autobiography as and when things happen. Very dangerous..... I could nt even conclude this, coz, dono what mysteries are yet to come. Anyways it looks like an vizualisation, of what the scriptures have mentioned.

God teach me what is Patience

Patience in action is the most difficult task, for frequent irritating Circumstances. To talk about it, looks easier, though, it is not easy either, by the concerned person. Still, bursting out would not solve issues.but certainly it will give a sense of temporary relief. Now here are some ideas, to remain patient for a long time. 1. Just ignore 2. Leave the place 3. Think as if you are a different person, who doesn't know anything about the issue 4. Try to have a deep sleep 5. Think of some real stupid things you did in life 6. Go to washroom and relax ;) 7. Do not pile up anger , drink water and release it 8. Go to a mall and use the massaging chair 9. Think of the worser situations and console 10. Eat, wash face, dress up, do something I know these are just some tips, still patience is real tougher task For instance, early in the morning my daughter wakes up @3.30 and god knows how she ll identify me, She ll come and start to bite me... No words for the horrible morning, but now I am still sleeping after she does it for hours together. May be my skin has turned to be tougher these days ;)... Still it requires patience

Good one


Chetan Bhagat’ s Article in TOI this month : Specially for Indian Women. Do Read it and share it with all the women in your life Alright, this is not cool at all. A recent survey by Nielsen has revealed that Indian women are the most stressed out in the world: 87% of our women feel stressed out most of the time. This statistic alone has caused me to stress out. Even in workaholic America, only 53% women feel stressed. What are we doing to our women? I'm biased, but Indian women are the most beautiful in the world. As mothers, sisters, daughters, colleagues, wives and girlfriends - we love them. Can you imagine life without the ladies? For now, i want to give Indian women five suggestions to reduce their stress levels. One, don't ever think you are without power. Give it back to that mother-in-law. Be who you are, not someone she wished you would be. She doesn't like you? That's her problem. Two, if you are doing a good job at work and your boss doesn't value you - tell him that, or quit. Talented, hard-working people are much in demand. Three, educate yourself, learn skills, network - figure out ways to be economically independent. So next time your husband tells you that you are not a good enough wife, mother or daughter-in-law, you can tell him to take a hike. Four, do not ever feel stressed about having a dual responsibility of family and work. It is difficult, but not impossible. The trick is not to expect an A+ in every aspect of your life. You are not taking an exam, and you frankly can't score cent per cent (unless you are in SRCC, of course). It is okay if you don't make four dishes for lunch, one can fill their stomach with one. It is okay if you don't work until midnight and don't get a promotion. Nobody remembers their job designation on their dying day. Five, most important, don't get competitive with other women. Someone will make a better scrapbook for her school project than you. Another will lose more weight with a better diet. Your neighbor may make a six-dabba tiffin for her husband, you don't - big deal. Do your best, but don't keep looking out for the report card, and definitely don't expect to top the class. There is no ideal woman in this world, and if you strive to become one, there will be only one thing you will achieve for certain - stress. So breathe, chill, relax. Tell yourself you are beautiful, do your best and deserve a peaceful life. Anybody trying to take that away from you is making a mistake, not you. Your purpose of coming to this earth is not to please everyone. Your purpose is to offer what you have to the world, and have a good life in return. The next time this survey comes, i don't want to see Indian women on top of the list. I want them to be the happiest women in the world. Now smile, before your mother-in-law shouts at you for wasting your time reading the newspaper. Cherish Womanhood!! Pass this to every woman you know....

Why Pedisure? a Mother's Fears as well as Satifaction


This is actually a mail, i am trying t bring in this blog Regarding Pediasure, i am giving my kids the same. I just prayed while reading, that the product shouldn't contain anything harmful. Grace of God, i didn't find anything wrong about it. Being Natural is always best dear, i Agree... But which product/ vegetable is natural - that is another story... lets not discuss this now. i am not so sure, that this product contains DHA/ Omenga 3. I also agree that this product is becoming very popular these days. But My twins, when they just turned one, they were smaller than a one year old kid should be. an marketing executive from the child care section of a supermarket advised me to give pediasure. I reconfirmed this with my ped. Doc and started giving it. (we do get fresh milk, fresh from the cow's only from India, here we get fresh milk, but we are not supposed give it to kids, and i believe it is not so fresh as it should be -- so Doctors here advise to give powdered milk like similac, dexolac, naan etc. when compared to it, pediasure was little more priced) Again i am not so sure, that only because of Pedisure, we saw little improvements in kids. But after Pediasure, they felt full than any other product like naan... All these i am just trying to find out the real intention of the writer, who wrote this... And if you come to know, anything harmful about the product plz let me know... _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Pediasure is the product of Abbott Company which is in USA. The manufacturing unit is in Singapore. So the product is imported from Singapore. The product claims "Mothers around the world trust and use pediasure to fill nutrition gaps arising out of their child's fussy eating behavior. This trust is a result of pediasure superior product formulation with 37 vital nutrients fortified by Prebiotics and Probiotics and Choline and Taurine. PediaSure also meets 100% of the requirements * of vitamins and minerals for children above 2 years when consumed in adequate amounts." Our take on this: The calories for per 100g are 470 Kcal. Per serving as mentioned is 50g and it should be taken with water. But if you meet the marketing head of pediasure he will advise to take pediasure with milk. All of us have seen pediasure advertisement where a kid goes to school because of pediasure. Do you think a kid attends school just because of Pediasure? The product claims that it has all the essential nutrients i.e. complete balanced nutrition to grow taller and also make the kid go to school? For kids not only the physical growth but mental growth and activity growth also is necessary. Per bottle is 900g and costs Rs.760. This is pretty costly!!! Any other brand like bournvita/horlicks/complain also claims the same things but they cost from Rs.300-600 for 900g. I have these things in mind: 1.What's so special about pediasure? 2.What does adequate amount mean, when amount is already mentioned? 3.Why is it so costly? 4.Can a kid really drink 5 scoops (50g) of powdered water/milk? 5.Can this drink really replace a breakfast? 6.Will this product make children to get ready and go to school? 7.How would flavors play a significant role in growth? 8.Why take pediasure with water? Our take on the nutrition front: I do not find any nutrient difference from any others brands. It is imported so it's costly? Can any child consume 50g of powder with milk/water at a time? Wouldn't it be heavy for digestion? Any liquid can't replace the nutrients of breakfast. Activity of child depends on food also but not on any supplement. There is nothing special about Pediasure. It's all the marketing skill of the medical representatives and we as customers fall for it. We love our children so want them to get the best and nutrition is no different. We fall for bad marketing and spend for it which it is not worth of. For the brain development of the kids the complex carbohydrates, DHA ((Docosahexaenoic acid) and omega 6 fatty acids are necessary. Pediasure has not mentioned if they are complex/simple carbohydrates. It doesn't contain DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) and omega 6 fatty acids. Omega-3s help improve general brain functioning and restore memory. Foods high in Omega-3 include: fishes like salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring, as well as flaxseed oil and walnuts. Complex carbohydrates digest well, there by keeping the bowel movement of kids clear. Foods high in complex carbohydrates include whole cereals, pulses, peanuts, dried apricots, dried beans, yogurt, and oat bran. When you can find all the important nutrients in natural foods why buy a supplement? I am sure money is not the concern. But let your child learn eating natural foods than depending on supplements for its growth. Pediasure can just give height and weight growth which is a natural process in any child. Height or weight of a child not only depends on eating, but also depends on activity level, hormones, genes, birth weight etc.
Give your kid the best and natural. Contact your dietitian to know more about the nutrition for your kids.
