The old parents are being neglected

In India, around 2/3rd of the population is below or close to 30, so does talking about old age problems (which exist) sound awkward?

Consider this, out of every 10 elderly couples in India, more than 6 are forced by their children to leave their homes. With no place to go and all hopes lost, the elderly have to resort to old age homes, which do not guarantee first class treatment. In India, unlike USA, parents do not leave their children on their own after they turn 18 (of course there are exceptions), but children find it hard to accept the fact that there are times when parents want to feel the love that they once shared with them. There are times when parents just want to relax and want their children to reciprocate their care. Every parent wants to see their child grow and be successful but no parent wants their child to treat them like an unnecessary load on their responsibilities.

Forget the rights that the elderly enjoy in India. Just forget about the action that they can take. Think on moral grounds. Why do we tend to forget that the reason we are in this world is our parents, the reason we studied is our parents, the reason we were alive all this while is our parents, the reason we survived all the diseases is our mother’s care. The hands who made us walk is our parents’. When we were kids we never thought of it but we knew that no matter what, our parents will be by our side. But when our time came to show our respect, to reciprocate the love, to show our gratitude, we back out.

But the truth is that even when they are counting their last breath, they are still thinking of us!

Is the youth too insensitive to the elder? Passing comments at an old man walking slowly on the road and disturbing the flow of the traffic are our ethics? Come on youth, stand up against such injustice. DO NOT TREAT YOUR PARENTS LIKE BURDEN ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY NEED YOU.

8 Reasons Why Having A Younger Brother Is The Best Thing Ever

1.He is the first one to look up to you. Even if he may not express it directly.

4. He’s always up for a movie, even if it’s not to his taste.

5. You will always have a sports buddy.

6. Wanna order a pizza or ditch dinner for street food? Chota bhai is always game!

7. You’re ready to defy your parents but it’s not two against one. It’s two against two.

8. You thought you’re all grown up and mature, until he cracked his dirty jokes when no elders were around.

10 weirdest phobias.

1. Venustraphobia: Fear of Beautiful Women

Beauty can be overwhelming. Studies show that a lot of men tend to put off from dating a beautiful girl and may actually feel traumatized. While some of you out there are just nervous, some may be actually having this bizarre phobia called Venustraphobia or Caligynephobia. Imagine someone getting petrified upon the sight of a pretty girl. Ouch! It hurts to be pretty.

2. Aurophobia: Fear of Finding Gold

If the dread of beauty was not enough, people could get scared of even more unimaginable stuffs. One such unusual fear is of finding gold or everything made of gold. It has been guessed that people suffer from Aurophobia after a gold-related shock. Wondering how can gold be causing any kind of trauma? Even we are.

3. Omphalophobia: Fear of Navels

This is another weirdest phobia one could have. As strange as it may sound, the fear of navels do exist.  People having this phobia are extremely scared to see or touch their own navel, and can’t bear others’ belly buttons either. I bet you can’t stand Miley Cyrus if you’re one such Omphalophobic

4. Chrometophobia: Fear of Mone

While the world is running behind money, some runs away from money instead. Such odd kind of dread of having money is called Chrometophobia. People having Chrometophobia are very defenseless to losing and mishandling money. Wish on the wishing well that you find one such chrometophobic.

5. Papaphobia: Fear of the Pope

An Unbelievable amount of people actually fears the Pope. Yes, there are people having Papaphobia who are terrified of the pope and other saints as well. These people probably have a hard time going to Churches.

6. Nomophobia: Fear of Being without Cellphones

Oh dear Cellphones! These little gadgets have become inseparable part of our lives. We all get a little heart attack everytime we do not feel our cellphone in our pockets. But some people might actually pull it over the extreme. Nomophobia is such kind of fear of being without a cellphone, cellphone battery or network coverage.

7. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia: Fear of Long Words

Ah! I really hope you do not have this erratic fear if you’re aspiring to go for a spelling championship. This is the strangest fear one could ever get; the fear of long words. Ironically, the phobia’s name must be listed in the top ranking long words itself.

8. Sinistrophobia: Fear of Left Side and Dextrophobia: Fear of Right Side

You probably have Sinistrophobia if you feel uncomfortable with anything to your left side or someone who is a left-handed. But then, you might also have Dextrophobia if you fear anything to your right side. God knows the science between this left and right. But one thing for sure, many people really suffer from these weird fears.

9. Euphobia: Fear of Good News

Yes! Many people get scared of nothing but of getting good news. We all have heard how people dread bad news. But, nothing could be worse than someone dreading good news. It’s like a repulsion to happiness.

10. Phobophobia: Fear of Phobias

This phobia is the weirdest of the weird phobias that we could have ever known. Many people live on this Earth with a constant fear of having a phobia. Literally, it’s the phobia of phobias. Imagine people fearing to fear something. Too ironical to handle!

Do we really need a plan in life?

Life shouldn’t be about checking things off a list. Sure, checking off items on a list might feel good or even sound like a proactive idea at first glance. But life should be about experiencing everything the world has to offer, both good and bad. This includes taking some risks and doing some things spontaneously, not planning out every minute of every day of the rest of your life. Leave making lists and checking them twice to Santa Clause (and for managing projects at work).

If you’re busy creating a checklist of things to accomplish, you’re living in the future, not the present. Planning isn’t always a bad thing, but taking it too far can cause you to lose out on the joy and freedom that comes with living in the present moment.

It can cause you to miss out on other opportunities. Being so narrowly focused on one specific career, for example, can mean you might miss opportunities to try things that might be an even better fit.

No matter how much you plan ahead or create lists, there will be outside forces, over which you have little to no control, which can cause you to go off-course from a carefully crafted life plan. Live your life with intention, but instead of plotting out only one career course in minute detail, and the skills/experience you would need to succeed in each. Then, leave yourself open to experience all the possibilities life has to offer – because you never know when external forces will strike, or when the road less traveled might just turn out to be the best route for you.

The life of an introvert

Life is full of binaries: male or female, young or old, introvert or extrovert. It’s quite interesting how people can either be an introvert or extrovert. There can be a mix of both, but one will always be your natural state. We all know extroverts are outgoing, easily approachable, friendly and pretty much out there. We also know introverts are the opposite of that: quiet, shy and reserved. Many people misunderstand what it is like to be an introvert, and the struggles associated with it. I cannot even quickly count how many times I have been misunderstood because I am an introvert.

Being an introvert means preferring to be alone and to yourself—well not exactly. In social situations, we introverts have a hard time being outgoing and starting conversations with people, so we usually just stay where we are and observe from afar. We would much rather prefer people come to us and start a conversation.

As an introvert, I have had many people misunderstand me, which leads to people blaming me for feeling the way I am. I can definitely say that it is hard to deal with that and the “consequences” of being introverted. Nevertheless, introverts can be some of the best people to get to know. Once you get to know us, you find out that we are outgoing, wild, spunky and spontaneous. So for all the extroverts out there, try to understand the point of view of introverts, because they are great people. And for my fellow introverts out there, you are perfect just the way you are. Being an introvert is not so bad after all.

Smartphone photography hacks

1.  SUNGLASSES AS POLARIZING FILTER

Polarizers give you that nice gradient shading on images.  Unfortunately, finding one for your smartphone is pretty much impossible.  So, grab a pair of sunglasses, and shoot away!

2.  CARDBOARD PINHOLE

Turn your smartphone into a pinhole camera by poking a hole in a piece of cardboard and holding or affixing it over your camera’s lens.  Nothing like going old school in a new school world!

3.  FRAME YOUR PHOTOS

Why bother with adding artificial frames to your photos in Instagram?  Cut out a real frame and literally frame your shots in real time!

4.  SHRINK YOUR WORLD

As Richard points out, panoramas are great and all, but they don’t resize well for social media sharing.  Instead, download a “tiny planet” app for your phone (like this one for iOS or this one for Android), and turn your panoramas into creative tiny worlds.

5.  SHOOT HIGH KEY

Use a piece of dark paper (or, anything dark, really) to lock in your exposure.  Then remove it to actually capture your shot.

6.  INCEPTUALIZE YOUR SELFIES

Use a smartphone to take a photo of a body part not your own, then superimpose the image in real time for a little creativity.

7.  PROJECT YOUR PHONE

Make your own DIY smartphone projector with a box, camera lens, and magnifying glass.  Now you can turn your lonely bedroom into screening room for your latest projects.

10 Indian dishes you must try.

1. Alu-gobi

Alu Gobi is a dry dish made with potatoes (aloo), cauliflower (gobi) and Indian spices. It is yellowish in color, due to the use of turmeric, and occasionally contains kalonji and curry leaves. Other common ingredients include garlic, ginger, onion, coriander stalks, tomato, peas, and cumin. It all adds up to one of the most popular dishes ordered in Indian restaurants.

2. Butter-chicken

Butter chicken is traditionally cooked in a tandoor; but may be grilled, roasted or pan-fried in less authentic preparations. The gravy is made by first heating fresh tomato, garlic, and cardamom into a bright red pulp, which is then pureed after cooling, then the chef adds butter, Khoa and various spices, often including asafoetida, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, pepper, fenugreek and fresh cream. Did you know it originated in the 1950s, in the kitchens of Moti Mahal in Daryaganj, Delhi? A fun fact you can share with friends.

3.Rogan josh

Rogan josh (or roghan josh) is a staple of Kashmiri cuisine: originally it was brought to Kashmir by the Mughals. It is one of the main dishes of the Kashmiri multi-course meal (the “Wazwan”). It consists of braised lamb chunks cooked with a gravy based on browned onions or shallots, yogurt, garlic, ginger and aromatic spices (cloves, bay leaves, cardamom and cinnamon). Its characteristic brilliant red color traditionally comes from liberal amounts of dried Kashmiri chillies that have been de-seeded to reduce their heat: these chillies are considerably milder than the typical dried cayenne chillies of Indian cuisine. The recipe’s spiciness is one of fragrance rather than heat, and the dish is mild enough to be appreciated by western palates that may not be use to spicy tastes. If you love lamb, this is a must eat dish.

4.Samosa

Samosas are a fried or baked pastry with savoury filling, such as spiced potatoes, onions, peas, lentils and sometimes ground lamb, ground beef or ground chicken. They were introduced to India during the Muslim Delhi Sultanate when cooks from the Middle East and Central Asia migrated to work in the kitchens of the Sultan and the nobility. Indian samosas are usually vegetarian, and often accompanied by a mint sauce or chutney. Samosas are a common street food and many tourists or Indians eat them as a midday snack.

5.Tandoori chicken

Tandoori chicken a popular North Indian dish consisting of roasted chicken prepared with yogurt and spices. The name comes from the type of cylindrical clay oven, a tandoor, in which the dish is traditionally prepared. The chicken is marinated in yogurt and seasoned with the spice mixture tandoori masala. Cayenne pepper, red chili powder or Kashmiri red chili powder is used to give it a fiery red hue. This dish goes so well with steaming basmati rice and crispy naan.

6.Malai-kofta

Malai Kofta is a tasty vegetarian alternative. Restaurant style malai kofta is cooked in a creamy gravy made of tomatoes and cashew nuts. Malai actually means, “cream” and both the kofta and the sauce literally melts in your mouth. A heavenly dish that soaks up rice nicely.

7.Masala chai

There’s nothing like the experience of stopping a Chai Wallah on the street and ordering a steaming cup of masala chai when in India. Made by brewing black tea with a mixture of aromatic spices and herbs. The beverage has gained worldwide popularity, becoming a feature in many coffee and teahouses. Traditionally it is prepared by a decoction of green cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, ground cloves, ground ginger, and black peppercorn together with black tea leaves, In international tea shops, it’s often sold in a tea bag form, with a variety of revolving recipes, but once combined with steaming hot milk, it’s delicious all around, whether found in India or your hometown.

8.Matar-paneer

Matar Paneer is a vegetarian north Indian dish consisting of peas and farmer’s cheese (paneer) in a tomato based sauce and spiced with garam masala. It is often served with rice, naan, paratha, poori, or roti (depending on the region). Most lovers of this dish recommend dipping whatever bread is accompanying the meal into the delicious tomato gravy.

9.Naan

Naan is a leavened, oven-baked flatbread that’s normally served with all meals. Typically, it will be served hot and brushed with ghee or butter. In non-traditional circles, different varieties of naan are available, like garlic naan or cheese naan. However you eat it, naan acts as almost a spoon to soup up sauce or dipped into chutneys. An Indian meal isn’t complete without naan at its side.

10.Beef-vindaloo

Vindaloo itself is a curry dish popular in the region of Goa. It is known globally in its Anglo-Indian form as a staple of curry house menus, often regarded as a fiery spicy dish, though it is not necessarily the hottest dish around. A variety of meats can become a vindaloo dish such as lamb or chicken, but beef vindaloo is one of the most popular versions. A vindaloo paste can be a blend of chillies with cumin, coriander and other authentic spices. Traditionally a very hot curry with tomatoes, onions and of course loads of chillies, but many Indian restaurants ease down the hotness, by adding less chillies. If you want a bit of fire in your mouth, order this dish!
