Pranam 1 Let it be bed; do you wash your chairs , dining table etc where all of you are using?; even there the same malais rest. Swacham is a way of living. There are people today who are sitting on the bed and eating ,writing. working, doing all things and sleeping also. So human fossils micro to macro are falling everyday; and so changing once a month or a week does not help and it needs every day. If you think for 6 days it won't harm you and then even for a month it wont. And when you stay in a hotel and in Train and flight , we use only what he gives, believing it is clean but who knows?. We eat in hotels with that belief but the cook might have added all the bad things and cooked too but we happily eat and pay the bills. 2 Today we are running a train on magnetism. 3 Again a wrong chord from Mr G. Covering the articles in winter and when away are learnt from the British who do it in England. We bought all those later for them. And dust will gather as it sucks and emits air. Every week I clean with a brush and remove a quantity of wool from AC and Fan. And it can be covered where lesser dust will be seen filtered. And all ACs will work even after a year and 2 if switched on; I have that experience. I remove the plug out of the socket whenever I leave to uSA. And when plugged works perfectly. So once in 10 days it need not be switched on now. Old system was that. Similarly the Car once we were forced to start frequently but not needed now; disconnect the battery; after 1 1.2 year connect and start the car, it will roar. A decade back we may have to keep things in the fridge and run it even in our absence; but today the smart fridges works as in the running conditions normally without any materials inside, auto adjusting and connectible to the inverter drawing the least current and working even in the non-power mode. Smart gas cylinders have come. So all the write up erstwhile period relates to those era answers. 4$ The privatisation of the nationalised bank according to people is old wine in the new bottle. Kantha Balasubramaniam, who were clerks in the private time and became officers in the nationalised time, expanded to cultivate a big union, where the leaders with the fat salary and their ward being educated abroad through the govt oblige, .developed a community of self-service, ignoring the people , because of whom they get the salary. The real Babus were from SBI. They had acquired plots and buildings in their spouse names , creating colonies , apart from SBI brands as Pakkams, and expanded their textile businesses of their spouses, so today grieves for having to forego all thos swarga days, if driven back to the olden days. The relationship between the Govt and the banks whether Private or Public shall exist as funds transfers are governed by the regulations of the RBI, As a private banker there are accounts normal also and demanding minimum balances are only for those accounts into which they were goaded through while opening the accounts, as free in lounge etc where the clients are flyers at all. The private banks are governed by the ministry of finance and so cannot say go to hell the GOI. All these words are spoken by the union leaders who grew within a shell; and their voting does not matter; after 2 decades the then generations will fight if taken over by the GOI, as it were once in the same land when IG announced. 5 Rice, also known as “*Anna*” contributes to the sweet taste to your diet. It is known to balance the Vata and Pitta and can be combined with vegetables, pulses, nuts to make it wholesome and nutritious.
Ayurveda believes that anytime is a good time for rice. It looks not only at the quality of the rice itself, but who’s eating it and when. Even old rice is proven to have a great healing effect on the body and hence Ayurveda recommends the consumption of old rice to everyone. Out of several varieties of rice available most common ones are polished rice, unpolished rice, parboiled rice, boiled rice, basmati rice, etc. With its low-fat, low-calorie, high nutritional, gluten-free and non-allergenic properties, every variety of rice is gaining popularity today. There are several doctors today who advise their patients not to consume rice if they are suffering from high blood sugar levels (diabetic)/ if they are obese/ or have high cholesterol <https://www.ayuruniverse.com/high-cholesterol-treatment-program-idukki-kerala-india/5316/p>. When doctors say rice they mean *white rice*. *The barn and fibers in white rice are removed by polishing i*t and so it is empty in its nutritional value and makes it equivalent to refined grains. White rice, like white bread, is just refined carbohydrates. It digests quickly and increases the sugar level in the body. Consumption of this would definitely increase weight in the person and the glycemic index of white rice is 89% which means to say that the sugar levels have peaked after consumption of polished rice. So it very important to understand that shifting from usage of polished rice to unpolished rice would help you. Unpolished rice has all the essential nutrients required and is also filling. Consuming it with lots of vegetables will provide you with strength and stamina to the body. Consuming unpolished rice or the variety of rice mentioned above would help in the reduction of blood sugar levels and also reduces the risk of obesity. So kaikuthal chaff removed white rice is far better than the brown rice as it is easily digestible. And any food is bad if people do not work hard. Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the oldest cereal grains in the world, and people have grown it for at least 5,000 years. Rice is a staple food for more than half <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31619630> of the world’s population, and 90% of the world’s rice comes from Asia. There are thousands of types of rice, but depending on how producers process them, they fit into two groups: white or brown (whole grain). White rice is the most common type, though brown rice offers more health benefits. Brown rice comes in a variety of shades, including reddish, purplish, or black. * 8 As many times we read and write, still we are eager to hop around the west in broadcasting their ignorance as that of ours unashamedly. 9 planets (even before Sumerians) were known to the Induians who without any instruments wrote a lot. False messages if broadcasted is an offence . 11 Human brain acceleration , hunting for food etc are based on any evidence across ?. May I know please. 12 How does one measure the air in the lungs per sec? May I know please.
