Reducing Carbon Footprints:

Leave a comment

 What is a carbon footprint? Ever heard about this term? No? Well, it is as simple as a shiny sun. Yes! It is all about fuel consumption. By carbon, we mean a hot gas that causes the temperature of the earth to rise. By footprints, we mean the effects, the trails of carbon that has on the earth. Earth herself is not causing the increase in the carbon footprints via natural disasters or ecological changes. We, human beings are responsible for its rise in the ecosystem, of which we are an integral part.

           Human beings are great thinkers, but always oblivious of the consequences of the activities they are indulged in! There are number of human activities that are very dear and beloved to them, but on the other hand, taking the planet earth into a perilous state. Few activities of such types are listed below:

BBQ:

          In winters, no one has the courage to avoid it. We all love the smoky aroma and spicy tasty of the hot sizzling chicken piece or mutton or beef piece. Apart of the cleanliness or halal haram concepts, the very ingredient on which the specific piece of meat is cooked on is a black coal. The coal is a house of carbon dioxide gas. Now, imagine the amount of smoke erupting from each BBQ tray. The each and every strand of smoke is piled up with carbon dioxide, contributing to the wellness of the atmosphere in which we all are breathing in and breathing out, and in breathing out, getting our carbon dioxide out too!

 Long Drive:

                     What a lovely weather! Oh! We got a weekend break! We aren’t gone anywhere since long! Let’s have fun! Let’s move out! These are few dear sentences that we all utter in different situations listed above. We all have cars, if not, we have Uber or Cream at our disposal. All the vehicles run on fuels, as we all know. The fuels arew loaded with carbon dioxide. In 1 liter of petrol, 2.5 kg of carbon dioxide is released. Multiply the liter with the release amount and then multiply it with your yearly consumption of petrol only! The results will be horrifying!

 Gas/ Electrical heaters:

                            We are too cold! Switch on the heater or the inverter. Water is too cold, switch on geyser! These are the usual habits of all of us. Again the amount of carbon dioxide is adding up in the already existing abundance of this dangerous gas.

Ways to reduce carbon footprints:

There are number of ways in which we can reduce our carbon footprints. Few are listed below:Reduce the cutting of tress/forests

Use public transport instead of private cars

Use cycle or prefer to walk to cover nearby distances

Wear warm/wool clothes instead of switching on gas/electric heaters/ inverters, too often

Make BBQ in pressure cooker (search for relevant recipes) and after its cooking, give it a smoke of 1-3 coals to give it a taste of specific BBQ.

Grow trees, whenever, wherever you like to.

Health Impacts of Globalization

Leave a comment

The digital world, in which we all are living, has knitted and kneaded the world into a global village. This globalization has brought about rampant changes in almost every walk of life. In this readout, we will discuss a few impacts of globalization on the following walks of life:

Impacts of Globalization on Environment:

         With changing machinery, habits, reforms done in transport, use of fertilizers, wars, weapons, perfumes, sprays, what or what not, had changed the environment at large. Now, people are more prone to get hands on land and water, as survival of the fittest is true to this era as well. Marine life is disturbed due to robust change in climate and hence result in damaging the environment. The human activities are responsible in bringing about change in the environment, together and globally we have made species, endangered ones, deforestation is done miraculously!

Impact of Globalization on Economy:

           Globalization has brought changes in economic state of human beings: now the socio-economic strata is changing, rich are becoming richer, mediocre are shifting to upper-middle class and poor are becoming poorer. The globalization has turned on middle class, drastically. People are going after “presentation” one should be presentable and hence spending more time in making their looks better or more refined. This race has ripped the money-matter of each class, seems to be going nowhere!

Impacts of Globalization on Culture:

               Arts, crafts, music, pottery, handicrafts, sports goods, painting, sketching, literature, folklores, clothing, jewelry and film-making are included in the term culture. The globalization has brought changes in all these fields, likes and dislikes of human being across the world are mingled up. Now, west likes to indulge in eastern mood and east is taking interest in western hues! This is the most powerful impact of globalization on arts and culture of any country.

Impacts of Globalization on Education:

          Globalization has put its wide and extended impact on education. The world is now tying in mutual educational goals and British council is playing a vital role in its progression. Its main aim is to bring all schools under one umbrella where everyone can learn from each other. This is done to achieve stability in socio-economic strata and to reduce inequality leading to poverty. This initiative is a blessing for those who are under-rated and has less available resources or are not blessed enough to get hands on a number of teaching pedagogies and methodologies. This platform is benefitting such schools, especially.

Impacts of Globalization on Eating Habits:  

          We are what we think and what we eat! Eating patterns has changed. This change is brought about by shrinking the world into a global village. This globalization has made it very easy for the individuals to see, attract and adopt eating style of the host country. Turkish delights, Korean street food, Pakistani biryani, American burger, Albaik Chicken bites are all time favorite and in trend. Breakfast diet has changed, now people like to eat cereals and easy ready-to-eat food.

How to live a Healthy Lifestyle:

Leave a comment

Health is what we all want, but a healthy lifestyle is a trick we seldom care about. We all need health but avoid a healthy lifestyle. In lifestyle, we include the routine matter, the way we eat, the way we sleep, the way we play, the way we take ourselves! There are a number of reasons that indicate why we need a healthy lifestyle to get healthy.

  For me, visiting doctors and lying on the bed in a completely helpless state, smelling medicines, tinctures, poi dines, and phenyl-dipped mob! This is scary for me and this very fear of mine pushed me to adopt a healthy lifestyle. I am sure, you all must have fears also, but I pray that your fear would and could have contributed to taking you towards a healthy lifestyle.

 Let’s see how we can make our life better and bent us on healthy lifestyle:

Eat less:

          This does not mean that you have to eat less overall, this simply means, eat less at one time. For example, if you were eating one chapatti/bread in breakfast, reduce it to half in the breakfast, but do it step by step, do not directly shift on half chapatti/bread at once! Do not eat fruits after getting any meal. Avoid eating citrus fruits on empty stomach as it can stir the gastric juices causing inflammation. Eating fruits before lunch and dinner fairly detox your body, leaving your organs healthy and fresh. Avoid or eat less oily. Refined, processed and sugary foodies, as it is harmful to the greatest extend.

Drink plenty of water:

              Drinking of 4 glasses at a time will not suffice the purpose of drinking plenty of water in getting healthy lifestyle. Sensible division of drinking water at appropriate times will contribute in maintaining healthy weight. For example, never drink water on empty stomach, especially Luke-warm water, as it will cause stomach burn. Never drink water right before or after the meal or tea etc., as it curtailed the digestion process. Always stop drinking any liquid after 7 of clock in the evening. The best time to drink water is between 7 of clock in the morning till 5 of clock in the evening.

Sleep well:

                   It is said that sleep is the doctor at night, when we are enjoying our slumber, the tiny physicians, surgeons, doctor gets out and do their job, while we sleep. Sleep is the natural recharge or boosting up system of our bodies. The best sleeping time starts from 9 of clock at night till 5 o clock in the dawn. This time duration is comprises on full 8 hours sleep, but here the question arises, how can we get un-interrupted sleep? The answer is simple, stop thinking, stop wondering, stop taking too many questions in mind, just relax, go to bed, close your eyes, focus on sleeping and spend few minutes on self-analysis, that’s all! Pray to your God to give you sound sleep and make you wake up fresh and active. Believe me, this prayer is always heard! Fun Reading!

Strange Habits of Animals and Birds

Leave a comment

On this planet earth, we are not the only species who is alive! This planet is replete with a number of different and various animals and birds. In each biological community, we find humans, insects, animals, plants, birds, and reptiles. This balanced ratio is also known as an ecosystem. We are by far living in different localities, but in similar ecosystems, more or less.

              Humans are born differently, but they try hard to change themselves into copies. Monkeys are well-known in mimicking, but human race has defeated these animals in cheating, copying and mimicking! We are the ones, who has spoiled our own unique identities, but there are number of animals and birds who kept their individuality. Few will be discussed below:Hens/cocks and rabbits keep their one eye close and one eye open while sleeping. Now, why they do so? It is because they are able to sleep and guard themselves while sleeping from the predators!

Bats are mammals, they come out at night to hunt for their food, while the rest of the animals/birds search for their food in the morning till sunset! There is a mystery hidden in the creation of this creature by the Creator! Go and search more.

Pandas are well-known for eating bamboo-shoots and gentle in nature, but they are carnivores as well! They like to eat flesh of hens and peacocks!

Dolphins’ newborns do not sleep at all in the first few months, so mother dolphin has to wake up all the time to make sure they are safe. They also sleep with their one eye open, making their half brain in working state.

Horned lizard, when in danger, shoots up blood from its eye to create chaos to its predator, escaping time to run ways from the place as soon as possible. The blood has no poison in it, but it creates blurriness very well.

Peacocks are beautiful creatures, but they do cry when they see their ugly feet. Their favourite food is snake, in farmhouses you might have seen peacocks and snakes too! Guess the eating-relationship!

Elephants are lovely and kind hearted animals, but very few of us know that they are very cultured as well. They never forget their deceased loved ones and whenever or wherever they see dead bodies of human, birds, animals of any kind and type, they cover their bodies with leaves, dirt and dust to pay tribute to them. They feel sorry and remain sad for hours, they visit their dead ones for hours!

Cuckoo birds do not build nests for lying eggs, rather they lay their eggs in other birds’ nests so her eggs will be safeguarded by them, but on finding a better chance, cuckoo bird murder the unborn chicks of that bird so that only her egg could be taken care of!

Mole rats are able to run as fast backward as they can run in forward shift! They are real athletes of their kingdom.

Have Fun!

Importance of Time Management

Leave a comment

What is the time? It is a continual process of existence and events happen in the past, present, or in the future. It means, it is an endless process, but intricately interlinked with the phases of human life. It is beyond the capacity of human beings to enter in the past or the future, so we are only left with the present and in present, we are only left with the current state.

 What is management? It is the coordination and administration of the tasks to gain the set target of one’s life. Now, the question arises, why we need to manage the time? The answer to it is very simple, we cannot bring back the time lost and we also cannot get more time by entering into the future zone, so the best and possible solution is to manage and handle the time that we are blessed with.

 There is a number of ways to manage time in accordance with different and various situations of life. Few situations are listed below:

Working Woman Time Management:

                                       Working woman means, holding too many things in a go, keeping a refined balance between home and office or school/college/university. There are endless chores at home, but children’s education and spending time with them is every parent’s utmost responsibility and it is a wish also. So, it is advised to a working lady to manage the same slot of time for cooking and educating the child. While cooking set a chair at a safe distance and get benefitted from the inbuilt bounty of multi-tasking ability of yours! See child and dish side by side or train your husband or any other available male or female to play the part in education. An organized woman can do wonders!

Time Management for students:

                           Students life seems very easy, as they are supposed to just go, learn and come back to home. It sounds that easy, but is it that easy? The answer is hung on a big NO, as students are not spared from educating their little ones, taking part in home chores or helping their elders in their affairs from day to day need. The education is getting lengthy and tiresome with each passing day, so it is very important for students to manage their time according to their needs. They must set the time limits, prioritize their time zones and be very strict in following the time they have set! Do not let anyone to shatter their study time. Be focused and concerned towards your books and afterwards, go and help your elders or enjoy with friends.

These are just examples of managing time, but there are five key factors that are beneficial for time management and are applicable to almost all scenarios: set a clear goal, focus on it, reduce interruption, achieve the goal in set time limit, avoid multi-tasking of linked and similar to-do lists.

Useful Activities during Covid-19

Covid-19 . . . scary? Ahan! What to do? We are stuck in our homes, nothing to do, nothing to enjoy, just eat sleep, watch movies, dramas, and sleep again. This is the normal mindset of people these days. These days are difficult, no doubt, but just give it a thought that will you be hungry? Will your job will be taken from you? Would this covid-19 snatches from you, your living place? Are you be devoid of your relations? Friends? Family? If the answer is a big NO then be thankful to God, Almighty.

                 The situation is different, so must human activities take a new shape! Sharing is not caring nowadays, but Giving is caring, a new motto. There are a number of things that we are able to get our hands and the reason behind all these useful activities will be our betterment, betterment of the society or the community we are living in. Let’s begin with the amazing list of useful activities: Search for the needy people around you. The very obvious signal of identity for them is that they are not beggars. Now how to locate, identify such people? The answer is very simple, just check their behavior, try to look into their eyes, check their dressing, go to the shop where they are habitual of going, see their payment record, you will definitely find some debt on their heads. Try to pay their bills, send them meal, as a token of love and care. These little actions counts nothing on your part, but a truly big for them.

 Be engage in Online Library concept. Gathering is not allowed in physical boundaries and capacities, but having the young generation on board for making our future bright, hoard them for an interactive and fun-learning story telling platform. Your time will become money and love that you will ooze out from them.

DIY session. Look for the old rags, cuttings, shells, beddings, cardboards or whatever you have stored in your home. This is the right time to take out all that lovely trash and recycle it! Do It Yourself is a very productive idea, create new things out of old ones. Try it out, it will amaze you. Trust me!

 Teach yourself a new skill. Human beings love to progress, but sadly in materialistic things, money matters, their interest is doomed in, that is why they are always in a tension, competition and mentally preoccupied! Just stop this routine in these days and break the shackles of stress, come up with something new and interesting: do some mechanical course, learn stitching, sewing, knitting, dress designing, cooking, beading, painting, calligraphy, card making, preparing organizers for your shoes, underwear, jewelry and much more!

Learn a new language. Yes! You can learn any language free of cost and no matter how young or old you are, as far as you are eager to do something, learn something new, doors of opportunities can never be closed! Duo lingo is the very site where you can register yourself for any language course and believe me you will love to learn there!

 Make a kitchen garden. Fruits and vegetables are getting expensive day by day, so why not preparing a fertilizer and edibles at home! Sounds nice? Ok! Don’t throw away the peels of vegetables are fruits, rather collect them in a bucket half full of fertile soil/garden soil and half with these peels, add cow dung as well to get a rich source of ammonia naturally. Crack the see open, sow it in the damp soil and wait for the germination to take place. Onions are easy to grow, by and by go on garlic, red chilies, tomatoes and coriander. You can prepare pesticide naturally at home too. Search for the ideas from books, internet, and gardeners.

Spend time with family. Read a book together, have a tea together, enjoy lunch, dinner, and breakfast together. Togetherness is unity and unity is beauty. This beautiful unity will strengthen your family and add up color in your life too.

I hope, you would have chosen an activity out of these activities. Have Fun!

Train YOUR CHILD TO YOUR CHOICE

Leave a comment

Train Your Child to your Choice

Why training? The question is very simple, I mean it sounds easy, but deep down it is hell difficult. Yes! It is. We all are aware and quite used to professional, academic development, but ever thought of training the character, building a human body into a humane self? Frankly speaking, we had never thought of it, including me, but a few days ago, I came across news that stirred my soul and compelled me to think about making human….. Humane. We all are forgetting humanity, day by day, moment by moment.

              In any workplace, we train to get equipped with the all necessary skills to be called PROFESSIONALLY GROOMED. We seldom care to be called human beings as we are living a delusion that we look human so obviously we are human beings! Is that so simple? If yes, then why the suicide rate, corruption, the crime rate is increasing, why society is becoming less considerate and tolerant? What is missing? My dear, my dear… training, training, and training is missing and this very segment gets its start from each and every home. By looking at a man, one should be clear about the females of that house, a queen always raises her male as kings and princes or vice versa.

          7 years child is wise enough to recognize things, to differentiate between the two, and this is the very age to train him or her. Don’t raise your children on gender base, treat the both sex equally, for both are human being. According to me train yourself first, before you go for the training of others. Here are some fruitful suggestions for you in order to save this world from inhumane humans!Always listen to your child. Give them confidence that you as parents are their well-wishers, friends and beloveds too. Once this speaking-listening relationship is built, your child is harnessed well and tight.

Set rules and regulations for them. Tell them what to do, when to do and how to do. This process is too too lengthy and time taking as with boys repetition is training, repeat the thing 1000 times for years and then they might understand. Once understood by them, the results are everlasting and evergreen.

Be firm. Never be a puppet at the hand of your child, don’t feed their every wish, restrict them around need base. This will take their inner self to the outer world resulting in care, love and empathy for others. Always choose a middle and moderate way in each and every things.

Give logics. Whenever you are up to making them to stop doing something then do it step wise: sit with them, listen to them, guide them, tell them the consequences of the things, logically.

Always ask why and how question from the children. The reason behind this questioning approach is that it will excite their thinking process and automatically they will understand and critically foresee the situation which will save them from falling in any ditch.

Gather them on dining table/eating mat. Switch off TVs, mobiles in the eating times, have a cup of tea together. Make family time a happy time for them. There must be a bond, a connectivity within the family to get the things going on for eternity.

Prepare them for troubles. Tell children that this life is not a bed of roses, stop comparing your life with that of others. Tell them how to live a happy and contended life with limited resources, with less money or no money at all.

Teach them to care. Read stories to them that cater care and love for all human beings apart from their religion, sect, sex, race, creed, caste, and color. We all share the same flesh and blood, we all bleed, we all feel pain, we all laugh, and we all live, we all die. These qualities are common enough to declare us human beings. When we all look the same, then we all feel the same as well. Spend money, time, care, attention, and love on yourself and on others too.

Be happy, be human.

Immunity-Boosting Diet in Covid-19

Immunity-Boosting Diet in COVID-19

Human beings are social animals, stated as a definition in psychology. The very reason behind this definition might be the fact that we all love to roam around, curious about things we don’t know and we love to discover and explore things, places, ideas, and edibles, of course. Human beings tend to go to different countries and continents, giving the natives their culture and acquire their culture. This cross-cultural exchange has turned this world a global village, it is easier now to connect and exchange things, even viruses can travel/transported from one place to another. One very notorious virus is this which we all are facing nowadays.

 Yes, you guessed it right! Its covid-19 pandemic that envelops the world in its deadly jaw. This virus, is an attacker of lungs; having sat on the lungs, it maneuvers the respiratory rate of that person, after muffling his breath, he pays attention on the other important organs and system of human body, causing him severe flu, bad and rapid dry coughing, high fever and intense body pain, by and by the person enjoys the journey to his death.

The situation looks truly sad, but where there is hope, there is life. Immunity is fed upon diet, by diet I mean, healthy food and division of it in three different times: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The human body is dependent on healthy food and fibrous, especially. Once the immunity that is the body’s defense mechanism, is strong or getting stronger then, and only then, it is not viable for the virus to suck the host or to shed down his or her body’s power. The question now arises that what should be the best and safe diet to build up immunity in order to fight against the Covid-19 pandemic?

 The answer to this question is: you need not worry as we have a number of diet patterns that can help in building your immunity and strengthen the existing immunity cycle. We care for you and we want all of you to be healthy and alive. Here are some fruitful suggestions:

“Eat to fuel your body”One should eat a variety of fresh and unprocessed foods every day to get the vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, protein, and antioxidants your body needs. Processed food curbs down the important minerals and protein-packed shackles into refined and finely grounded powder or paste. Such products are good on the tongue, but bad for the stomach, as it gets glued on the line of the stomach, hence not becoming the part of the active blood-making process.

Drink enough water.

Eat fruits, vegetables, legumes (e.g. lentils, beans), nuts and whole grains (e.g. unprocessed maize, millet, oats, wheat, brown rice or starchy tubers or roots such as potato, yam, taro, or cassava), and foods from animal sources (e.g. meat, fish, eggs, and milk). Avoid using packed or sealed products as we are not confirmed about their quality and taste. Prefer to eat fresh, and freshly looking fruits and vegetables.

For snacks, choose raw vegetables and fresh fruit rather than foods that are high in sugar, fat, or salt. To add up a fruity flavor, try a recipe of grated or chopped dates, dry fruits of your choice and mix the ingredients, form a tight ball or give it a biscuit shape, freeze the energy nutty balls, and use it up to 15 days.

Tips to recognize the fresh or stale:When buying for a fish, closely monitor the eye area of the fish, if it’s sunken inside, it’s a clear cut sign that it’s not fresh! Touch the skin of the fish, if it’s too tender, it’s again not fresh.

If you intend to buy vegetables, see the wrinkles. If the peel is withered or looking dry, then avoid buying such edibles.

Buying fruits can be tricky as many are washed in surf or oil to get the natural luster. Hold on! Don’t worry again. I have a simple solution, whatever fruit you want to buy, press it lightly and sense the juice inside, in the case of pomegranates, don’t buy cracked fruit, honey-coloured bananas ripen and best quality. Go for it.

Enjoy Reading!
