The Beauty to Be a Women

THE REAL BEAUTY OF A WOMAN
A woman was asked, what she used to make her complexion so beautiful, and her whole being so bright and attractive. Her answer changed everything and changed all the people around her thinking of women changed.
  • She answered:
  • “I use for my lips, Truth
  • I use for my voice, Kindness
  • I use for my ears, Compassion
  • I use for my hands, Charity
  • I use for my figure, Uprightness
  • I use for my heart, Love
  • I use for any who do not like me, Prayer.”

When God made a woman, so changed the world.
Woman give that softness to anything. A child can run to a woman and all the tears will be gone. A woman have the ability to heal where others hurt. The softness of a woman’s touch can solve many problems, heart braking problems. God tuse woman to be mothers. Women can bear pain better than men. The role of a mother is probably the most important career a woman can have. Motherhood is the most important of all the professions, requiring more knowledge than any other department in human affairs. Your mother can be your best friend, sometimes your only friend, she will always listen. A mother will always be there for you, no matter what. A mother will never ask you to pay you back for everything that she had done for you in life. She always see the best in you. She will give her life for you. She is the one everybody can count on for the things that matters the most.

This is a Tribute to mother and women

STAY HEALTHY AND YOUNG

Top 5 Tips in Ayurveda to Stay Healthy and Young


In Ayurveda, there are some simple tips which when followed can help you stay healthy and young, with no much big effort but through Ayurveda. The following needs to be done in order, soon as you get off the bed in the morning.

Cleaning the face:



One should wash one’s face with water on a regular basis. This helps in cleaning of the dirt accumulated on the face during night and gives freshness thereby which you stay healthy. Preferably cold water needs to be used, but during winter luke-warm water also may do the trick.

Protecting Eyesight:


After washing the face, one should take a mouthful of water, keep the mouth closed and keeping the eyes open as far as possible, sprinkle freshwater over the eyes. This is very useful for preserving your coveted eyesight. Once this is over, your eyelids should be gently rubbed and a tender massage should be given to the eyeballs.

Drink a Glass of Water:


One should also make it a practice to drink a glass of water early in the morning. This helps to tone your excretory system effectively. Although tea is good for antioxidants, its not advisable to have them before evacuation of bowels. Taking tea on bed may develop constipation later on - as it being hot stimulates intestines to such an extent that many layers of intestines get damaged, so watch out!

Cleaning your mouth:


Although you may have several tooth pastes and gargle fluids, for a healthy life Ayurveda suggests usage of twig of neem or babool.

Application of Til Oil:


One who applies til oil on the head regularly, never suffers from complaints such as headaches, baldness or graying of hair - hair remains black and are deep-rooted.

FUEL FILLING TIPS



Tips on Filling your Vehicles...

This is a Message received from a friend: -Thanks to Gokila.

I don't know what you guys are paying for petrol...
but here in Durban, we are also paying higher, up to 47.35 per liter.
But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every liter. Here at the Marian Hill Pipeline, where I work in Durban, we deliver about 4 million liters in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline.

One day is diesel; the next day is jet fuel, and petrol, LRP and Unleaded. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 liters.

ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR CAR OR BIKKIE IN THE
EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS STILL COLD.

Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground, the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.... your liter is not exactly a liter.

In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products play an important role. A

1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps..

WHEN YOU'RE FILLING UP, DO NOT SQUEEZE THE
TRIGGER OF THE NOZZLE TO A FAST MODE.

If you look, you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode, you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created, while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor.

Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS IS TO FILL UP
WHEN YOUR TANK IS HALF FULL.

The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.

Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated, so that every liter is actually the exact amount.

ANOTHER REMINDER, IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK
PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU STOP TO BUY,

DO NOT FILL UP - most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.
Hope, this will help you get the maximum value for your Money.

DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS! LET’S SHARE
INFORMATION AND BENEFIT ALL, FOR THE BETTER OF MANKIND.

GREEN LIVING






The whole world today is talking about carbon credit?
( Than, what is carbon Debit? if any ideas write back to me)...
i need to add these 12- points here to enhance the corbon credit..
Not alone that "The energy saved is equal to the energy that produced".

We have to show our love and gratitude to our ancient/fore fathers who saved this planet earth for us,by various means right from the vedic period(eg- Agnigothra) to till today. we could live with better conveniences today..because of them...but on the other hand we are not aware/Less aware about the environment and its increasing pollutions .

What we are going to offer for our forth coming generation? we must be aware about all pollutants which spoil our environment and learn how to eradicate these pollutants from our day to day life and have a better quality living free from all diseases and leaving the earth more greenary to the generation who is going to come.That is my concern to pass these unto each one of you..hoping you will also acknowledge and pass this to many people as you can.

12 - Practical Tips for a Green living

1. Turn off the lights when you leave the room.

Save electricity and reduce global warming by turning off lights when you leave a room, and using only as much light as you need. And remember to turn off your television, video player, stereo and computer when you’re not using them.


2. Turn off the computer when possible

Don’t get me wrong, there is no need to turn the computer off every time you go to the bathroom. If you know that you will be away for four hours or more, however, turning it off could result in significant savings over the long run.


3. Print only when necessary

Sure, reading on paper might be more comfortable, but you should avoid printing those two-lines emails every single time. Read it on the screen and print only necessary documents. Remember also to use both sides of the sheet.


4. Use fluorescent lamps

Incandescent light bulbs use five times more energy than fluorescent ones and last ten times less. The fluorescent lamps cost more on the stores, but within one you should have already recovered the investment. Even the LED Bulbs will add greater energy savings and less emissions.


5. Use cold water as much as possible

In India, we prefer to use air-conditioners to cool our homes and offices but use hot water for showers and dish washing - strange. Use cold water as much as possible, insulate your hot water heater and unplug appliances when they’re not in use.


6. Reduce Water Consumption

To reduce your water consumption, keep faucets on low pressure with cold water as much as possible, turn off the faucet while you brush your teeth or shave, and run full loads of dishes and laundry on a short cycle with low water levels.


7. Go digital

Cancel your paper newspaper and magazine subscription and go online for the digital editions. Use your iPod for news, music and video downloads.


8. Think eco-friendly

There are many other environmentally friendly tips you can incorporate into your lifestyle as well. For example, choose non-toxic, environmentally friendly household products as much possible, try eating and gardening organically, use natural body products, pick up trash outside as you’re walking and give creative, eco-friendly gifts that don’t come in wrapping or packages.


9. Reuse everything

Change your mind-set and think twice before throwing anything out. Resealable plastic bags that held carrots today can hold crayons tomorrow. Mom might just like that cashmere sweater you’re sick of wearing. And Fido doesn’t know the difference between a new chew toy and the one you make yourself out of old dish towels. Donate your old cell phones - One person’s trash can be another persons treasure, learn more at www.freecycle.org


10. Drive Less and Drive Smart

Less driving means fewer emissions. Besides saving gasoline, walking and biking are great forms of exercise. Explore your community’s mass transit system, and check out options for carpooling to work or school. Pausing somewhere? Shut down your engine: Idling for any length of time burns more gas than it takes to restart the car. Speeding, fast accelerations, and hard braking waste gas. Maintaining your car saves it. Tune up your car according to your owner’s-manual schedule (usually every 30,000 miles) and raise your car’s fuel efficiency anywhere from 4 to 40 percent.


11. Bring your own bags to the market

Avoid taking plastic bags for purchases from the supermarkets and while shopping. Reduce plastic garbage. Stash some canvas/cloth bags in your car. Avoid products that come with excess packaging, especially molded plastic and other packaging that can’t be recycled. If you reduce your house hold garbage by 10 percent, you can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide annually.


12. Plant a Tree

If you have the means to plant a tree, start digging. During photosynthesis, trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. They are an integral part of the natural atmospheric exchange cycle here on Earth, but there are too few of them to fully counter the increases in carbon dioxide caused by automobile traffic, manufacturing and other human activities. A single tree will absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide during its life time.

Above all keep your environment clean just by doing Nothing???
One may be surprised,
how Doing nothing and keep/maintain our environment clean and neat?
it is very much possible & The technique is very simple too...

"DO NOT THROW ANY THING ANY WHERE "
"BY DOING NOTHING..YOU CAN KEEP YOUR ENVIRONMENT CLEAN."

THE WORLD IS BECOMING UNSAFE

The World is getting very unsafe


Please find below a mail from Mr.. Rahul Welde,
General Manager- Hindustan Unilever –Media Services
who was holed up in his room at the Taj hotel on the night of the terrorist attack.


Fortunately he managed to escape…this mail is quite insightful and would like to pass on to all, especially people who travel.

Please read this and apply if you can….this can happen to anyone at any point of time…


Subject: Lucky to have survived ; Living in good shape

I wont go much into details of what happened that night.
To cut the long story short -

I was holed up in my room at the Taj hotel the fateful night of the terrorist attack.
Managed to escape by the skin of my teeth at around 4 am - in sheer denial of allowing fire and smoke to swallow me.

By gods grace I managed to make the run down 6 floors and some few metres without the devil in my way.

I thought I'd leave a few messages which might be of help to all good people.

In the modern day world, risks are a plenty. Terrorists, tsnunamis, earthquakes - the list can go on.

None of these check on your profile, company, religion, class or seniority when they hit.

They just hit. And we know now it can happen anywhere.

Here are a few things we could all do to keep it safer and better.

Firstly, value your family and friends.

Two things I strongly recommend you check one.

1.Make sure you are covered well by insurance.

Even if you are well off - leave them better off if the unfortunate were to happen.

2. Let them know details on things like bank accounts, investments etc. Keep a folio with your spouse and close family.

3. Use every waking moment to cherish what you have - family, friends, nature. Stay smiling, laughing and caring.


Admittedly these are not things I thought about deeply till now.

I shudder at the thought of what if. Lets move from the philosphical to the more practical. There are a few lessons that I want to share


1. When in a hotel or a new place - please NOTE where the FIRE EXIT is. The fire exit route saved my life. I had no clue of where it was and why I ran where I did. Why I turned left or right. Providential escape for me - nothing more. I've stayed in hotels for years and dont remember ever paying attention to this. Its a few seconds invested that can save you from big trouble.


2. Insist on taking a room in the outer periphery - where the fire brigade can reach you. My room was on the inside and I tell you what - there was no chance the fire brigade would ever reach me. They would have always been a few yards but several hours away. Ever thought of this detail.


3. A key item on your survival kit is your cellphone. I give it to Apple for developing the Iphone - a real smart gadget. Whatever your phone - a critical checkpoint is battery life. Often we wait for battery to go down before charging. Dont ! Keep it full charge all the time. All the SMSes saved my senses and maybe even my life.


4. I learnt for the first time that when running through fire and/or smoke - run bending down and wrap a wet blanket around. I did that thanks to a friend who advised me. Its a different story I chucked the blanket thinking that the cops would gun me down mistaking me for a terrorist. Good tip nevertheless.


5. Dont miss the aspect of staying fit - in running shape. Can help you and maybe even you can help someone.


Last few days I have heard/read a lot about peace marches and candles and politician bashing and police bashing and whatever else. I am sure a lot of energy will go in all that. Having been there I can only say that every soul - the cop, the fireman, the medico and even the common man on the street was doing the best he could. I dont blame anyone. I am sure good will prevail over evil in the long term. The short term blips we cannot avoid.


I have a lot to say and yet not much more. God is the greatest and leads to the ultimate destiny. I am thankful for all that has been and all that there is now.


Happy to be writing to you and wish you and the family best for times ahead.RegardsRahul[Courtesy:-OLI VIMALA ]

MOST POWERFUL WOMEN OF THE WORLD

#1 Angela Merkel Chancellor
Country : Germany


Merkel is growing increasingly comfortable with using her clout. She recently urged China to respect the rules of international trade during a three-day trip to the country, a visit that sought to improve trade ties between the world's third and fourth largest economies. Merkel said she raised the issues of human rights, trade, environmental protection and China's rampant copyright piracy. During her second G-8 summit, Merkel got the disparate parties to stick to the agenda: combating climate change and poverty. As rotating head of the European Union, Merkel lead the way in forging a new European treaty to govern the often-unruly 27-member bloc. Domestically, despite raising taxes (at a time when countries increasingly enact pro-growth flat taxes), Merkel recently captured a 75% approval rating, partly due to a five-year low in unemployment and annual GDP growth at a still healthy 3%. Lately Merkel displayed a bit of protectionist fervor when she backed Germany's plans to block takeovers of German companies by foreign government investors, a bid to stave off cash-rich Russia and China (which says it has at least $200 billion in reserves to invest worldwide). The secret to her success: "I tend not to jump to quick conclusions," she told Evelyn Roll, her biographer. "I prefer to go over things carefully to see where the traps could be lurking."--Tatiana Serafin
