Myths and Legends of Tea

There are many interesting myths and legends associated with tea. There are stories about tea being plucked from elephant back and tea being plucked by monkies. When one sees rather short-in-height tea bushes planted in a very orderly fashion, it is hard to understand as to why tea had to be plucked while atop an elephant. The truth is that if left to itself, the tea bush can grow into a tall tea tree. The Tea Research Station at Tocklai, near jorhat, has some very old and very tall tea trees. A visit to the institute can be very interesting affair. Tea plucked by Monkies? Believe it or not.

Why Suicide

When we were young, we were not worried. Now I find every boy is in hurry and in tension, in depression. I am unable to see any reason for Suicide, except mental pressure, the competition, and fastlife and easy availabilty of suicide material and circumstances. I am researching and I will make efforts to change the situations, which compell our young generation to go for suicide. If you have any suggestions, send me.

Strong roots eventually yield great success.

The naked eye suggested that the tree wasn't growing, in truth, it definitely was. But the expansion was below ground rather than above ground.

While the other trees were reaching for the sky, this special tree was quietly working on its foundation, ensuring its roots were strong and its base was secure. And once done, it outperformed every tree around it.

Business and life has taught me so many lessons. And so has nature. And one of the best is that leadership takes time. You might think that other people and other organizations are so far ahead of you that you'll never catch up. But please be patient. Tend to your roots. Do exceptionally great work. Build deep relationships. Invent and innovate daily. And Lead Without a Title.

Nature is always fair. And eventually, you will win.

Corruption in India

Corruption in India


It is a fact that the problem of corruption in India has assumed enormous and embarrassing proportions in recent years, although it has been with us for decades. If all the scams of the last five years are added up, they are likely to rival and exceed the British colonial loot of India of about a trillion dollars.

Ms Mayawati who is Chief Minister of the most densely inhabited state, is calmed when an intelligence agency probe is scrapped. The multi-million dollars fodder scam by another former chief minister wielding enormous power is put in cold storage. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh chairs over this kind of unparalleled loot.

Investigations into the shadowy financial deals of the Indian cricket league have revealed a web of transactions across tax havens like Switzerland, the Virgin Islands, Mauritius and Cyprus.The name of one Hassan Ali of Pune is mentioned as operating with his wife a one-billion-dollar illegal Swiss account with the sanction of the Indian regime. The former chief minister of Jharkhand, Madhu Koda, who was reported to have funds in various tax havens that were partly used to buy mines in Liberia.

If the Indian Prime Minister knows nothing about these scandals, he is ignorant of ground realities and does not deserve to be Prime Minister. If he does, is he a collaborator in crime?

The day will come when the have-nots will hit the streets. In a way, it seems to have already started with the monstrous acts of the Maoists. The drumbeats for these rebellions are going to get louder and louder as our leaders refuse to listen to the voices of the people. Eventually, it will lead to a revolution that will spill to streets across the whole of India.

Subsidy to rich on Petrol

I wish Mamta Banerjee all the best. But still writers Building is one year away and need hardwork to achieve target. It is sad, that she don't understand economics, otherwise why she is opposing price rise of Petrol, which is used by rich people. If Govt of India is paying subsidy on Petrol. This subsidy is going to rich people, the money of poor and rural people going into the pockets of rich people.

Land Reforms in West Bengal and Left Front

I would like to tell you about Land Reforms by Muslims and British. Land reforms means right to property, cultivation and perpetual ownership, so the Land owner is encouraged to develop the land and get more production and output from Land.But what Left front did was to take away land from Landowners and gave right to agri- labour, called ADHEDAR in Bengal. They were cultivating on developed land of Agriculturists (LAND OWNERS) not as agri-Labour, but on contact basis i.e. a short of partnership with landowners. Now Landowners lost interest (or made to lose interest ) in land, the poor agri-labour has no money to finance Agriculture. Previously Land owners used to finance for land development, seeds, fertilisers and pesticides. Now agri-labour can't find funds for this finance, which is the back bone of agriculture. He fell into the hands of moneylenders, who charged interest from 3 to 5% per month. Nationalised banks were not financing these poor agri-labours.

So with Land reforms of Left, poor agri-labours suffered, most of time in the hands of moneylenders, crop failure, shortage of agri imputs. Our agriculture production also suffered, we have no food security now, per capita availability of food grains came down, resulting in price rise for both urban and rural populations.

Thanks to Left front for their good work for the people of West Bengal.

Verdict against Left

West Bengal Municipality Poll results are a verdict on CPI (M) Party - its modes of functioning and its attitude to power and governance. The Left Parties and the Trinamul Congress ran their campaigns on the assumption that this election was a dress rehearsal for the bigger battle to control Writer's Building in 2011.

The people of West Bengal rejected Left first in Panchayat, then in Loksabha, and now in Municipal bodies. It is a total verdict against Left.

Don't use bottled water.

Don't use bottled water.
It will save environment and save money also. But due to excessive use of Pesticides & chemicals in India, water in India is so much polluted that we are not convinced that drinking water is good for drinking. Moreover present bottled water available in India is only distilled polluted water of India, having chemicals, bad for health. The immune system of Indian population is so weak, that we fall sick, because of many reasons and we held water responsible for our all ills and problems. I suggest that to improve our immune system, we should follow Baba Ramdev's Yoga.

Heart and Diabetes

Heart and Diabetes

A person with diabetes is more likely to develop heart problems condition than others and tends to develop it at an earlier age than others. Studies suggest that the chances of middle-aged people with Type 2 diabetes getting a heart attack is as high as someone who has already had an heart attack. Women who have not gone through menopause usually have less risk of heart disease than men of the same age. But women of all ages with diabetes are at an increased risk of heart disease.

Why are people with diabetes at risk of heart disease?

Uncontrolled diabetes can cause damage to many parts of the body, including blood vessels resulting in coronary artery disease. This damage makes it easier for fatty deposits to form in arteries and cause narrowing or blockages that can lead to heart attacks or strokes. Along with diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, lack of exercise and obesity also lead to atherosclerosis (narrowing of arteries).

Those with diabetes are likely to suffer from what is called "silent ischemia" or silent heart attack, which accounts for 25-30 percent of heart attacks. It is Termed "silent" as the patient gets a heart attack with no chest pain. People with diabetes usually don't feel chest pain because of nerve damage caused by poorly controlled diabetes.. The symptoms of silent ischemia are generally ignored or passed off as indigestion or stomach upset, vague dizziness or weakness.


What can one do to prevent or delay heart disease and stroke?

Even if a person with diabetes is at high risk for heart disease and stroke, he/she can help keep his/her heart and blood vessels healthy. A person with with diabetes can do so by taking the following steps to prevent heart diseases.

1. Keep blood sugar level under control. Balanced diet, regular exercise, right medicine and monitoring are essential to keep blood sugar levels under control.

2. Make sure that your diet is balanced. A dietician can help you get it right. Food with high fiber may help lower blood cholesterol. Whole-grain breads and cereals, dried beans and peas, fruits and vegetables are rich sources of fiber. Also cut down on saturated fat because it raises blood cholesterol level. Saturated fat is found in meats, poultry skin, butter, dairy products with fat, such as palm and coconut oil. Keep the cholesterol in your diet to less than 300 milligrams a day. Cholesterol is found in meat, dairy products and eggs. You need to keep the amount of transfat, a type of fat in food that raises blood cholesterol in diet to a minimum. Limit your intake of samosas, vadas, namkeens and chats.

3. Make physical activities part of your routine. Being physically active can be good for everyone's health. Like eating a healthy diet, exercise will also help keep blood sugar level normal and can lower risk of heart disease. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week. Think of ways to increase physical activity, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, playing with your child and walking into nearby grocery shop instead of taking a vehicle. If a person with diabetes hasn't been physically active recently, it is necessary to visit a doctor for a check-up before starting an exercise program.

4. Reach and maintain a healthy body weight. Consult a dietitian for help in planning meals and lowering the fat and calorie content of your diet to reach and maintain a healthy weight. Aim for a loss of not more than 0.5 to 0.9 kilograms a week.

5. Quit Smoking. Smoking is bad for everyone but it's even worse for people with diabetes because it damages the blood vessels. If a person has diabetes and is also a smoker, the risk of getting heart disease is doubled.

6. Ask your doctor whether you should take aspirin. Studies have shown that taking a low dose of aspirin every day can help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. However, aspirin is not safe for everyone. Your doctor can tell you whether taking aspirin is right for you and exactly how much to take.

You can keep track of the ABCs of diabetes to make sure your treatment is working. A stands for HbA1C (A1C is a test that measures blood glucose control over last 3 months), B for blood pressure and C for cholesterol. Talk with your health care provider about the best targets for you.

Have an HbA1C test at least twice a Year. It shows your' average blood" glucose level over the past 3 months. Insulin is recommended if HbA1C is more than 9.5% at the time of diagnosis or more than 7.5% even after taking Oral Drugs.


Control of the ABCs of diabetes can reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke. If your blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels aren't on target, ask your doctor what changes in diet, activity, and medications can help you reach these goals. By taking these simple steps, every person including people with diabetes can enjoy a healthy and long life.



Q. Can diabetes be cured ?
Diabetes cannot be cured, but can definitely be controlled. People with diabetes can lead a healthy life if their diabetes is well controlled (i.e. when their blood sugar levels are 90-130 mg/dl at fasting and less than 180 mg/dl 2hrs after meals) and other parameters like lipid profile, blood pressure and weight are in prescribed limits.


Q. Can I include fruits in my meal?
All people with diabetes should have at least 2 servings of fruit per day. One serving of fruit should contain 15 grams of carbohydrates. The size of the serving depends on the carbohydrate content of the fruit. The advantage of eating a low-carbohydrate fruit is that you can consume a larger portion. But whether you eat a low-carb or high-carb fruit, as long as the serving size contains 15 grams of carbohydrates, the effect on your blood sugar is the same.

The following fruit servings contain about 15 grams of carbohydrates: 1 Small Apple = 1/2 medium banana =1 1/2 slice mango = 1 1/4 cup watermelon = 1 Guava =15 Grapes = 1 Oranqee = l Peach = 1/2 pomegranate =1 kiwi = 3 Dates = 1/2 chikoo = 2-3 slice of papaya = 3 Plums = 1 1/2 slice pineapple.

So, a person with diabetes can eat any fruit, but the quantity should be measured.

Knowledge of Hindi is needed

You are right about the new generation not knowing Hindi.( I HAVE NO INTENTION TO CRITICIZE. THE KNOWLEDGE OF HINDI IS VERY MUCH REQUIRED IN INDIA, WHERE MORE THAN 85% PEOPLE ARE HINDI SPEAKING. FOR ACHIEVING SUCCESS, GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF HINDI IS REQUIRED. MANY OTHER NON-HINDI COMMUNITIES, LIKE BENGALI, TAMIL, TELGU HAVE IMPROVED THEIR WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF HINDI, AND THEY ARE GETTING FRUITS OF SUCCESS ALSO.)

As per your standards of successful people, I am definitely yet to
achieve that success.

SUCCESS IS SATISFACTION. CONTINUE TO DO HARD AND DEDICATED WORK, YOU WILL ACHIEVE SUCCESS. DON'T RUN AFTER SUCCESS, BUT DO HARD WORK. ENJOY YOUR LIFE, SATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. LOOK TOWARDS THOSE PEOPLE, WHO CAN'T EAT, HAVE NO SHELTER, NO CLOTHINGS. I SUGGEST YOU TO LOVE PEOPLE, DO SOME GOOD WORK FOR DOWNTRODDENS. )



Nidhi's aim is to be a big business woman like all Baid girls. ( BAID GIRLS ARE INTELLIGENT, HARD WORKERS, HELP HUSBAND IN ALL MANNERS, EDUCATE THEIR CHILDREN.)

Anways, if there is anything that we can do here in Mumbai for you, as
personal or business related, please do give us the opportunity to
work and grow. ( I AM INTERESTED IN MEETING BOTH OF YOU. IN SUMMER, I DON'T WANT TO COME TO MUMBAI. BUT IN SUMMER, YOU CAN COME TO SILIGURI, REALLY BETTER PLACE THAN MUMBAI. HAVE HOLIDAYS, GO BACK RECHARGED WITH ENERGY, CARRY OUT YOUR WORK WITH EXTRA POWER AND STAMINA)

Learn Hindi properly for success

Our new generation, starting from 1970, started reading in English medium or Convent Schools, are good in English, but weak in Hindi. Many of this generation migrated to UK & USA, or joined highly paid jobs in India, are successful. But rest of this generation (My calculation more than 80%), are still in India, doing small business or employed with middle size companies or individuals, cannot be treated as successful. If they had studied in Hindi medium Schools like us, with the knowledge of Hindi and English both, they would have scaled bigger heights. I am not cricizing anybody. But I find their Hindi weak. They can not write in Hindi. This generation should take initiative to read and write hindi, to be successful. I wish all our childrens, studying in English Medium schools success.

Fighting is human nature

Since beginning,human beings are fighting with each other for power, position, property and land. When we see history, every village was having a strongman, defeating other people, even supported by some strongman. That's why in India, there were more than 1000 Rajas. Under each Raja, there were tens of Jagirdars, Jamindars, Village headman etc. There used to be everyday fight for supermacy and position, between the Haves and havenots. Same thing is taking place now. In North Bengal, Writers Building (left front ) have lost control, so Gorkhaland, Kamtapuri, Coochbehri, Adivashi and some others are fighting amongst them. Fighting will give them nothing, they will looser always.

The importance of Education

Confucius once said: If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of 10 years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people. This important saying by Confucius sums our goal: to teach and educate ! A good education is considered the best investment.

Partying is fun and Diabetes

Partying is fun when moderation runs the show

Partying is part of our lives. Needless to say, no party can be conceived without food and beverages.

While everyone needs to guard against careless indulgence while partying, people with diabetes need to be even more careful. Parties generally tempt people to abandon healthy nutrition habits. However, the question is "how" to enjoy and still keep good health. Believe it or, not, it can be done.

Consider a few tips to start with.

• Do not miss your medicines and blood glucose monitoring on any occasion. Discuss with your doctor how you can enjoy without disturbing your health.

• Try to maintain consistency in meal timings. If food is going to be served late, try having some snacks.

• Practice portion control. You can, in fact, eat a variety of foods including your favorites if only you control the size of the portion of food you eat. A small portion is less likely to upset your blood-sugar levels.

• Follow a regular exercise routine. Moderate increase in physical activities can compensate for excess eating.

While going for a party and family get-together, do consider:

• Check your sugar before you leave so you have a fair idea of where your medication, drinks, food and dancing can take you. Have a small snack before leaving or with you if you think food would be served late.

• Never go to a party hungry. If you've already eaten, you'll be less likely to eat too much. Most buffet tables are filled with heavy, starchy and fatty foods and if you are too much hungry you are likely to eat more.

• Look at the entire buffet table before you eat anything. Choose non-fat or low-fat foods. At parties and other social events, gravitate toward the veggies and fresh fruit. When choosing a meal, try to stick to foods that have been grilled, barbecued, marinated, steamed, baked, or poached. Limit foods that are fried, creamed, buttered or that are served with sauces.

• If you feel that you are tempted by something sweet or a high calorie snack, can have a small serving. Either you can opt for for 1 or 2 units of increased insulin dose that day if you are on insulin or you could exercise little more than usual. If the party includes exercise like dance or other activities, you may be able to eat a little more without taking extra insulin.

• It is better not to have alcohol, as it can affect diabetes in many ways. Ask your doctor as over 100 medications interact with alcohol. If you want to drink, then don't drink on an empty stomach. (No more than 1 drink for women and 2 drinks for men). The effects of alcohol can last well into the next day, so test more frequently and be extra careful throughout the following 24 hours. Always, try to have roasted snacks rather than fried ones with alcohol.

• Water is preferable to any sweetened or alcoholic drink. However, if you're going to have any other beverage, alternate every other drink with a glass of water. This tactic may keep you from drinking too much.

• If the party involves lots of walking or dancing, then have good fitting, comfortable shoes. Wrong footwear can cause blisters or other injuries to your feet.

• Undue exertion may lead to hypoglycemia (low blood sugars). Hypoglycemia can be dangerous. So always inform about hypos to your friends, so that you can get the required help if needed. Make sure there is some candy or sugar in your hand bag or pocket.

And if it's you who is hosting the party, it's your opportunity to set a example of health-friendly partying.

• Food doesn't have t 0 be sole means of entertainment. Try making the party fun in other ways.

• Have sugar-free sweets and desserts. Artificial sweeteners like sucralose are safe for baking and cooking.

• Have a wide variety of fruits instead of traditional mithai. You can have a spread of fruit salads, cocktails, chaats, fresh fruit drinks to choose from.

• Not only too much sugar is bad for health; high fat diets are too. Using healthy oils; low fat dairy products; lean meat and choosing microwave grilling or roasting as a method of cooking can go a long way in making your party good health friendly.

With India, being the diabetic capital of the world you can be sure that where you go or you invite a group, you will get a friend with diabetes. So, don’t hide the fact about your diabetes. Indulge in good diabetes care practices and spread them. People with diabetes can enjoy all food in moderation, which actually is good for every one. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle even when you are having a party will have a positive influence on your blood sugar and health. Regular exercise and sensible daily planning would make parties more enjoyable and fun. Pick a nice outfit and be ready for the show!

And always remember - you control diabetes, it doesn't control you.

GREEN TEA - good for health

GREEN TEA – good for health.

Healthy Greens
Now, in the pursuit of good health, you may just have to go as far as a pack of green tea and a whistling kettle! Most people think oftea as an enjoyable beverage that is great with some cookies. Well, the steaming, tinted brew isn't as innocuous as it seems!

Green tea was first brewed in China, where it was known as a 'miracle medicine'. In her book, Green Tea: The Natural Secret for a Healthier Life, Nadine Taylor states that green tea has been used as a medicine in China for at least 4,000 years.

Today, research shows us how true that ancient claim was. Green tea, with its medicinal properties, is a boon for the health-conscious and a wonder, even to modern science. The benefits of green tea are many:

Inhibits Cancer
The main ingredient in green tea, Epigallocatechingallate (EGCG) inhibits the growth of cancer. The latest good news about green tea comes from a study done at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. A team of researchers headed by Dr Yihai Cao found that green tea can block angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels that tumors need, in order to grow. In an interview, Dr Caoexplained that the polyphenols in green tea prevent angiogenesis, which also explains why green tea is effective in preventing cancer. According to Dr Hasan Mukhtar, professor and research director of Case Western University, Cleveland, studies have shownthat the risk of stomach cancer goes down as consumption of green tea goes up.

Prevents High Blood Pressure and Heart Disease
With the chaos of our daily lives, we can do without the added tension of high blood pressure, which can result in heart problems. Scientific studies show that daily consumption of green tea can prevent high blood pressure. 3 to 4 cups of green tea a day, can substantially reduce an individual's risk of heart disease and stroke.

Restricts Buildup of Cholesterol
We all know that fat and cholesterol are bad for our health. Bur that doesn't stop us from drooling over a sinfully creamy dessert, does it? Now green tea brings along some great news for food freaks. Experiments demonstrate that green tea restricts the excessive buildup of blood cholesteroJ. It reduces the bad cholesterol (LDL) in the blood and increases the levels of positive cholesterol (HDL), thus reducing the chances of heart disease. For years, researchers were puzzled by what they called the 'French Paradox' … the fact that, despite consuming a diet rich in fat, the French had a very low incidence of heart disease. The answer was found to lie in red wine, which contains resveratrol, a polyphenol that limits the negative effects of smoking and fatty diets. In a 1997 study, researchers from the Universiry of Kansas determined that EGCG, strongly present in green tea, is twice as powerful as resveratrol. Which explains why the rate of heart disease among the Japanese, who are regular drinkers of green tea, is quite low, even though approximately 75 % are smokers.

Lowers the Blood Sugar Level
Let green tea take care of health worries like blood sugar levels. The extract of green tea has the ability to actually lower blood sugar. It is believed that both the EGCG and polysaccharides in green tea are factors in lowering blood sugar.

Strengthens Immune System
Today, we live life right in the midst of the madding crowd ... with deadlines and schedules that leave no time for ourselves. With its share of ups and downs, our body needs to be strong enough to fight common diseases like the flu and other infections. Green tea helps to strengthen a weak immune system, guarding us from illnesses and infections that take a long time to heal.

Prevents Ageing
Oxygen is very important to us, but it can also be a very harmful agent in the form of active or free radical oxygen. One way to slow the ageing process is to prevent the accumulation of active oxygen in our body. This can be done by antioxidants, which are strongly present in green tea.

Oral Hygiene and Dental Care
Now you can flash that charming smile without worrying about bacteria and bad breath. Fluoride in green tea protects tooth enamel and EGCG reduces the development of bacteria growing in the plaque. Green tea can also kill other oral bacteria, which cause bad breath. It also stimulates the production of saliva and reduces the harmful acids that form in the mouth.

Boon for Dieters
Get yourself in shape with a new slimming potion. Yes, green tea can actually help burn fat. In November 1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study at the University of Geneva, in Switzerland. Researchers found that men who were given a green tea extract burned more calories, since green tea helped to excrete more fat.

So Drink To Your Health!
People who drink green tea daily, have lower rates of heart disease and cancer and a higher life expectancy. Unlike other antioxidants, those found in green tea cause no toxic side effects. Sounds good enough to put the kettle to boil and give green tea a try?

To Make That Perfect Cuppa ...
Boil water. Add 3/4 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of green tea per cup. Soak for 3-5 minutes. Add lemon or sugar to taste. For better results, serve without milk.

Hospitality

Hospitality


Hospitality is all about people and relationships. We, at Cindrella, constantly address team spirit and emphasise on quality to make guest comfortable.

There are five important aspects to hospitality – attitude, learning, listening, warmth/smile/care and simplicity. Minute things make a big difference and creates a bigger picture.

In hospitality, consistency is something invaluable.

Today the clear and present danger facing hotels in the brand game is one, and only one. It’s the assumption that the brand promise is reposed in another facet of a hotel, perhaps in its legacy, its technology or its glossy interiors. But like yesterday, it still rests with the employee, who defines, delivers and determines the guest experience.
