Generation gap

Every generation blames the previous generation for not understanding them , we did ,now our children do . Every generation want their children to be much better and achieve greater heights than them , but they fail to understand that they are different individuals . I think most of us have heard from our parents , we grew up with such difficulty but you people get everything very easily .This dialogue is being repeated generation after generation. When told to us we argued against it , but we use it to our children . No parent will want their children to grow up with difficulties , they tend to give better facilities than what they got . We give them everything and in the same time we want them to understand the difficulties , doesn't it clash ??
    Telling lies , bunking classes , having crush ,falling in love etc is the things every generation does ( percentage varies ) , but doesn't want their kids to do !!! Every generation fights with their parents but befriends their grandparents , because when it comes to our grand-kids , our expectation level comes down and we are able to be more broad minded ,i suppose .
  We can hear parents often complain about younger generation as if they didn't know who raised them  . We as the parents want them to achieve , what we couldn't and we as the parents don;t want them to do the mistakes what we did . Wait on kids , you better know that you are also going to do the same things to your children .Each generation thinks that they are far more intelligent than their parents and when it comes to parents,they think, they are far more wiser .
The generation where the old listens to the young is lucky and the generation where the young listen to the old is double lucky...

My thought about the so called social networking

I have heard a lot of advice about my activity in the so called social networking sites . For every action there is good and bad . It is the way in which we take it . I am an active user of Facebook , I express a lot of my views in that forum . Being a housewife doesn't mean that I am without work most of the time , I am not here to give you the list of works which i do . My view here is when i am done with my work , Facebook and blogging is the thing i do in my spare time .

Let us see what else can i do in my spare time , please don't suggest studies , iam talking about spare time here . Next T.V , i have nothing against dramas and comedy program in T. V . Only thing is it is not my cup of tea . Next comes reading books , I read at-least one novel a week , you can check my library card if you want to . So i found face-booking and blogging suits me .

Next argument , it is always better to talk to a person face to face . Yep i can't agree more , but who has time for meeting . I have renewed my contact with my friends through Facebook , i think most of you will agree . I feel as though we're more closer . You can argue it is virtual , but for me something is better than nothing .

Next comes whether it is safe , I feel it is , as long we have our privacy settings in place .

Next comes why share what you think , don't we all share , i think we do . When we share some thing about our life to a relative or a friend , we tend to over do it . But this being a social forum we tend to harness our feelings or in other words , we don't cross our limit . As every one else also know what we feel , there is no gossiping .

And at last , there are options to remove a person , block a person , remove his comments , whom you want to see your posts and photos and block his or her posts , so it is in your hand , what you wish to see and who sees your posts .

This acts as a stress buster , at-least to me , so happy face-booking .

What my Grandma told

Our ancestors did a lot of things , which we were asked to follow . We neglected a lot of things saying those are superstitious . Let us look at some things which we forgot to do or else we don't feel like doing.

I still remember my grand-mom mixing cow-dung in water and splashing it on the entrance , I used to think , how disgusting it is , till i came to know that the cow-dung acts as an anti-bacterial agent , which cleans our foot as we enter our house .

We were told , during pregnancy , if there is an eclipse , we are not supposed to come out . Now it's proved scientifically that the eclipse affects the developing fetus .

During Eclipse , we were not allowed to eat , and the holy grass ( Dabro ) is added to the food which is stored . This has also been proven scientifically that our digestive system doesn't work during eclipse .

We were told , we should not sleep with our head placed in north .We were told only dead person's head is placed in north , we got scared and we never slept with our head in north . Now we have scientific proof that , it affects the brain development .

I'll keep posting as more thought comes to my brain

Relationship

Of late , I keep wondering about what is happening around ,you can ask me why suddenly ? We tend to think about anything only when it affects us right . Why is it , the friendship between people of opposite sex , always viewed with suspicion . You people can argue , no it's not so . But you will understand it is true , when you give it a thought . It is too difficult for a girl , when people from her same sex , refuse to understand and talk ill . Why does the spouse think , all that the person wants to share , should be only to her or him .

When I see the youngsters around , during the stage when they are in love itself , they don't like their partners talking with opposite sex , other than themselves . Where is the Trust , and what do they call love ??

You can't hold a person too long , by force . You will not succeed . Give your partner the breathing space , for your relationship to prosper . Every male will like an independent and strong willed women , till she is some one else's wife . If it comes to their wife ,trust me , they all want a wife who is dependent on them .Then they feel secure .

Healthy Indian Recipes Idli

Hi , what else can i start with , other than the humble Idli . Idli is a common breakfast in most of the south Indian houses . It is the most healthy as it is steamed , and is rich in protein , easy to digest . Idli in addition to sambhar provides a healthy start to the day , as it provides the nutrition you need the entire day .

Idly -

Boiled Rice - 4 cups

Urad Dal - 1 cup

Fenugreek - a table spoon

Salt - 2 tea spoon

Procedure -

Soak the rice for 2 hours , and soak urad dal and fenugreek together for an hour . Grind the Urad dal and the rice separately , if you are using a tabletop grinder , 1st grind the urad dal and then the rice . Grind the urad dal till it is puffy . Mix both and the salt , and let it ferment for 6 hours . Pour the mixture in idli molds and steam it . After five minutes check whether it is cooked , by inserting a fork , if it comes out clean , it is cooked . Remove the molds and let it cool and remove the idlies with the help of a spoon .

Values of Indian food

Lot of things which we Indians use in our daily meals , for ages without knowing it's true value . The basic ingredients which we use , has a lot of health benefits , which is handed over to us by our grandmothers .
