Family is a very important wheel in one’s development. Nice mom and dad, caring grandparents and lovely siblings. But being an ELDER sibling is heck nervous breakdown. Being the elder most among your siblings can be a CANDY task and sometimes SOUR LEMON. Here some perks and cons of being elder that only Elder one can get:

Your Word is FINAL!!!
No matter how good, naughty, cry baby or evil your little brothers and sisters are what you say in a high pitch and eyes glaring showdown, you win the case. You are the in charge when your parents not present. They know not to mess up now.ami3

We are wiser
as we are older so we get more experience and life lessons meaning we are much wiser that little ones. But they are always smart and have questions ready to counter back. We are expected to set good examples. You have to be A+ all the time.mess

 

Burden of being Old
If you did something funny or naughty, it’s your fault and if your little sibling did it, it’s also your fault because you’re responsible and older one. It can be very annoying when they starts to copy you and you get a *nice* speech from your parents. It’s our responsibility to watch their all actions.img

Being the Idol
having the great feeling when little ones idolize you. The feeling is very fabulous and can never be forgotten. Feels great that someone see you as idol, though it’s only your sibling. You always stop them from making the mistake you did. They all always consider for any review.

 

Pride Burned
when your younger sibling gets something done or learnt grown up things before you did in his age. What!!!!!! Odd feeling of pride and fury ALERT!! My younger brother got all function knowledge of computer and mobile even better than me.

 

Scary Devil
you will do everything in possible to protect your younger sibling even though how annoying they are. Speak a wrong against him; other person is dead (no matters how many times you did same). No One Messes with my bro!! You even sometimes spy on them and their personal life (no privacy). Sense of protecting and guiding them always make you do weird things.

Free tutor
you are basically in house free tutor. Maths homework? Go ask your sis! Poster making? She knows much better. You are free advisor, teacher, tutor, counsellor, baby sitter and the list goes on and on. You only have to name it. No one asks if we have spare time or not.

 

First privilege
you gets first preference always and it is an unspoken rule. Like in Mario kart, I got Mario and he gets Lugi always. Not only games, bigger bedrooms, tv channels and family cars. Make the way, Famous People coming.

 

Bug Eating Delicious or Creepylecious?

Bugs

Every different continent, country, state or even a small geographical area has a different culture which is very typical to it and so are the food habits. It is said that we are what we eat.

Almost everyone is conscious about the hygiene of their food. By the word hygiene here, we not only point to the fact that the food we are taking is properly cleaned and cooked in hygienic method but also our food or veggies are free of any kind of worms or insects.

But, the scenario is changing now a days. New trends or we can say weird trends are emerging rapidly in food habits. While the idea of having a stir fried cockroach for lunch may appeal to some (ewww) but it’s definitely a big No No for me. I would never ever think about eating those innocent but creepy insects. To some, considering worms and insects as non edible is just a psychological inefficiency.

Let’s have a look at some of the creepy food trends which are being liked by a great number of people around the world.

Why not start with one of the latest invention of the hot list. It’s called Critters Bitters. These are nothing but cocktail bitters made from toasted grasshopper like insects, crickets. These bitters are invented by Lucy Knops and Julia Plevin. According to them eating bugs might even save the world. Well, good logic!!!!

Another player in the same league is These are also Cocktail bitters made from crushed cochineal insects which provides its typical red color.While We Indians are not accustomed of encountering a stall which offers worms and insects as snacks but, it’s very common for Thai people. Thailand has a lot to offer when it comes to food made from bugs.

Non pai:-

The word Non means worms and Pai means bamboo in Thai. It is also called “Rot Duan” that means “Fast Train”. It is one of the most popular snack and seasoned with Thai peppers.

Tak Ja Tan

This dish contains a common grasshopper that is said to damage the rice crop and the Thai farmers found took their revenge by collecting and selling them to the vendors. The vendors fry those grasshoppers and offer as a snack. Revenge accomplished!!

It’s MY point of view on Entomophagy. For those of us who have never heard or read about Entomophagy, it’s the official name for eating insects.

So, back to the point, this is what I think about eating bugs. But, different people have different choices. It’s completely okay to follow a food habit that may sound creepy to someone else.

You can leave your opinion on Entomophagy in the comment section below.

All about our heart

HEART

Can you work continuously for one day???? Ok, if you are saying ‘YES’, then wait, I will change my question. Can you work continuously for one month without even one minute break????

Now, your answer is definitely ‘NO’. But there is one who will never say no. It is the symbol of love. It is the reason of your sonorous heart beats. It is our pumping heart.

Heart is the important part of our body. It will work for you till your last breath without complaining. Even any non-living object needs care and yes, heart also needs it. It seems our heart is not getting proper care and it is getting tired now. Today, millions of people are heart patients and the number is increasing at alarming rate. ‘Congenital heart disease‘ makes this condition worst. We need to be more alert, more aware about the changing conditions around us.

If we are talking about heart, then I have to clear the misconception that people commonly have about ‘heart attack’ and ‘heart failure‘. Mostly people think that these both are the same but the story is different. They are not the same. Heart attack happens when the heart muscle begins to die due to blockage of the oxygen-rich blood to a section of heart muscle. Heart failure is the condition in which the heart is not able to pump enough blood to meet the body’s need.

Of course, there are many reasons behind unhealthy condition of our heart. A chronically stressful life, social isolation, depression, lacks of exercise, being overweight increase the risk factors. Ignorance of the warning signs is the main reason which leads to the uncontrollable conditions. Today’s generation wants to explore everything. They want to try everything. Yes, it is not wrong but making it addiction is wrong. Having one to two alcohol drinks may cause reduction in heart diseases but beyond this, it will damage your heart. Smoking will damage your heart and lungs both. These conditions need to be getting correct.

If will not change our routine in favour of our heart’s good health, then the conditions will become more dangerous. We need to lower the risk factors. We need to take some immediate steps. We need to create awareness among people. If we will continue to sleep, then the condition can come when each family might have a heart patient as their member.

Evil Rulers of the World

Evil Rulers of the World
Now in this evil world, it is really very difficult to make out who is the most evil. In this list, we will have a look at the most evil ruler since the beginning till today. It is going to be the most interesting list.

Robert Mugabe- When people of Zimbabwe elected him as his president, they didn’t know that it will be worst decision of their lives. Robert who was an elected president, now comes under the ‘worst dictator’ of the world. He did not let the elections takes place twice simply because he didn’t wanted anyone else to be the President. He has now clearly refused to leave the post of President as this gives him the power to rule. Since the day he has been elected as the President, he is torturing the people of Zimbabwe, so that no one can stand against him.

Bashar Al Assad- He is the president of Syria and he is considered as the most dangerous leader in the world. He could win the election of 2011, because he killed all those members who were standing in the elections for the same post. Since he became the president, Syria has been going through the worst phase. He has deprived the citizens of their minimal human rights and not only this, but he uses the military force on the citizens of Syria. He kills anyone whom he feels like and this is how he is ruling Syria since last 4 years.

Omar Al Bashir- He is the president of Sudan and for this he had his major campaigning being done in Darfur, which is the most populated region of Sudan. During his campaigning, he has used all the bad means he could and as a result, he was the elected president. But this was not the end. The record says that during his campaign in Darfur, 2.7 million are missing. No one knows where they have gone. People can’t accuse him directly, but they know that it is his crime only. He is also the leader of National Congress Party in India.

George H.W. Bush- He was elected as the 41th president of United States of America. He was the worst ruler of the world, as during his rule, U.S. faced the worst phase. The economy of the country had to go through worst times and he did nothing, absolutely nothing to improve it. He let people of U.S. suffer and he simply enjoyed watching it. He has been very similar to his ancestors who have rules the US in the same manner as he did. He also met his sad end when he was thrown out of his position for his deeds.

What exactly happens after Death

Have you ever thought what happens after death? What exactly death is? Is it life air everywhere and we still can’t see it? Death is the completion of life. The end of life is death. No one ever has found the answer for this question and I doubt will find out one. No human has ever died and returned back to life and tell you what exactly death is.

Every culture religion has its own importance and its own significance. It is said that one that has life should definitely has death. It’s a universal fact. No living being is immortal. According to Mythology, when a death happens but every physical body has a soul and there will be no death to soul. The soul just lives the body. The soul is liberated into universe. It’s said that there will be hell and heaven but no one has actually seen it. One who has committed crimes or sins or mistakes will be sentenced to hell whereas all the good ones are sent to heaven. But there are instances in out mythology where humans have a chance to see what happens after life.

Death can be related the endless sleep with no life and no body parts will be functioning after the death. Life is the wonderful thing and as a matter of death .It’s said that after the death the body functioning stops but the soul present in body remains forever. Scientists are doing a lot of experiments to find what exactly happens after death. There is a game called “Spirit Game” which involves the ghosts, so called after life existence. There has been a lot of paranormal activities happened around the world stating the existence of souls/ghosts. These have been captured on cameras and CC TV’s.

imagesA3AE7B5K

This has been a question since human existence and will be a question forever. Few things aren’t meant to be solved and such questions remain to be as question forever. Scientists are performing experiments to find out how life has started and they found the reason is “God Particle”, which is the source of stating of life on earth. Hope we get an answer to the question. What exactly happens after death?
