Chai

Masala chai (literally "spiced tea") is a beverage from the Indian subcontinent made by brewing tea with a mixture of aromatic Indian spices and herbs.

A tea's type is determined by the processing which it undergoes. Leaves of Camellia sinensis soon begin to wilt and oxidize, if not dried quickly after picking. The leaves turn progressively darker as their chlorophyll breaks down and tannins are released. This process, enzymatic oxidation, is called fermentation in the tea industry. Fermentation can be either aerobic or anaerobic, and is sometimes mistakenly believed to necessitate the involvement of bacteria. In fact, fermenting agents can be yeast, bacteria, or even only enzymatic (such as your muscles under heavy exercise). Most of the darkening of tea is believed to be because of enzymatic oxidationWithout careful moisture and temperature control during manufacture and packaging, the tea will grow fungi.

Tea is traditionally classified based on the techniques with which it is produced and processed.

• White tea: Wilted and unoxidized
• Yellow tea: Unwilted and unoxidized, but allowed to yellow
• Green tea: Unwilted and unoxidized
• Oolong: Wilted, bruised, and partially oxidized
• Black tea: Wilted, sometimes crushed, and fully oxidized     
•  Post-fermented tea: Green tea that has been allowed to ferment/compost                                                                                                        Tea plants are native to East and South Asia and probably originated around the point of confluence of the lands of northeast India, north Burma, southwest China, and Tibet. Although tales exist in regards to the beginnings of tea being used as a beverage, no one is sure of its exact origins. The usage of tea as a beverage was first recorded in China, with the earliest records of tea consumption with records dating back to the 10th century BC. It was already a common drink during Qin Dynasty (around 200 BC) and became widely popular during Tang Dynasty, when it was spread to Korea and Japan. Trade of tea by the Chinese to Western nations in the 19th century spread tea and the tea plant to numerous locations around the world.

Community Service.....It gives a great feeling

I recently went to the office of an NGO for some business there an idea clicked into my mind about community service. In our school days we were taken to some or other task related to community service like picking the pebbles from the street,making the park free from garbage etc. 
we also had drives for collecting cloths ,books and toys or anything from our locality and take it to school from where the CRY people would come and take the stuff they would sometimes give us cards and other stuff at Diwali or Christmas break and tell us to sell it for the benefit of some underprivileged children who are waiting for it.
It was fun and there we used to learn about harmony and synchronization among our self . it was way of life we used to wait for such activities as it had a thrill in it and of course we got to learn and see the world .I learned how to work in harmony with others and experienced an abnormal feeling of sensitivity ,it was a great feeling to work for the betterment of others .
 I remember once we were taken for a tree plantation drive from school .We were told about it a day prior .every one was thrilled .at about 9:00 Am we reached at a footsteps of a hill about 15 km from our school there we saw some people with about five to seven hundred saplings and small holes digged all over the hill .we finished around 1:00 pm had lot of fun it was like a picnics with a cause.

I still feel that i have done a bit of my contribution to the society at an Early age and now also i always find opportunity and love to contribute to the community by planting trees at road side or donating my old stuff for a cause .Everyone should cultivate such habit of community service at an early age for a better and hormonal atmosphere in our country and world .

Good Politicians.

All politicians are like Pollution, we know they are harm full but we can't help .Now a days all 

politicians are one and the same, the hidden agenda of all political parties are how to gallop the common man's money and sell all resources and get money for there swiss bank account.

Talking about qualifications almost everyone know   there are a little who are well qualified in the political sector.here again i have a point Survey says that if more the person is educated the more he will be corrupt as he  know how to get out of the mess and be clear.

When asking why poor countries are poor, it is quite common to hear, especially in wealthier countries that are perceived to have minimal corruption that other countries are poor because of corruption. Yet, corruption is not something limited to third world despots. Rich countries too have been involved in corrupt practices around the world.

If the politicians will adhere to corruption than almost everyone will be as he is said to be on the top of the pyramid and the money flows from there .Countries that are very corrupt allow for the most construction fraud,which is difficult to see when the building or bridge is being built.there is roughly a one to one relationship between a nations wealth and its perceived level of corruption Less wealthy nations are the most corrupt.Corruption is the major cause and result of Corruption.

The poorest person is the one who is most affected by corruption which is done by a good politician who get away with it .

Countries that are very corrupt allow for the most construction fraud

Vulture ......Save it to save Earth

                  

Vultures have been the integral part of the food chain of the ecosystem and served as scavenger. But now the scavenger’s population is on decline drastically and they are endangered. Their absolute decline can devastate environment posing severe problem of ecological imbalances. And Indian subcontinent is especially under threat.

Populations of three species of South Asian vulture, the white-backed vulture (Gyps bengalensis), the long-billed vulture (Gyps indicus) and the slender-billed vulture (Gyps tenuirostris), have declined rapidly within the last decade and all are now critically endangered. These vultures is heading towards extinction unless the official use of a livestock drug is banned completely in practice that has caused the birds to decline faster than the dodo. This was reiterated by Indian and British veterinary Scientists.
The study confirms that the population of oriental white-backed vultures has plunged 99.9 per cent since 1992 while the numbers of two species, the long-billed and slender-billed vultures, together have fallen by nearly 97 per cent. 

It is opined that a wider ban of the veterinary drug diclofenac and more captive breeding centers are the only way to save the birds found mainly in India. However, India banned manufacture of the veterinary form of the anti-inflammatory in 2006, but a version formulated for humans is still used to treat livestock, the researchers said. When the vultures feed on carcasses they ingest the drug, which shuts down their kidneys and kills them within days. The ban on diclofenac production for veterinary use was an excellent first step. But this alone is insufficient to save the dying vultures population. Vultures are important to the ecosystem and for human health in India because they are the primary means of scavenging of dead animal carcasses in the nation of some 1.12 billion people.The decline of these birds have led to a sharp increase in dead animals around villages and towns, which has boosted the numbers of disease-carrying rats and rabid stray dogs, as reported by the bystander. This is a direct consequence of the decline of the vultures.

A study followed four previous counts and was the first since 2003. The researchers have warned that all three species could dwindle down to a few hundred birds or less to the verge of extinction in less than 10 years. The researchers believe that the number of oriental white-backed vultures in India could now be as low as 11,000 from tens of millions in the 1980s. Populations of the long-billed vultures have dropped to 45,000 while only an estimated 1,000 of the slender-billed species remain.

The way things rolling up, the extinction of vultures could be faster than the Dodo, which at least took 100 years to be wiped out from the earth.

Face to Face With U: कैसे छूट गया?

Face to Face With U: कैसे छूट गया?: "आपको क्या नहीं लगता कि परिवहन या आवागमन का भी अधिकार होना चाहिए? क्या कभी आपने सोचा है कि गरीबी रेखा से नीचे के लोगों के आवागमन का माध्यम क..."

Thus..... he is fasting for us.

India regularly ranks among the most corrupt nations in the world. Everyday, the headlines scream about senior government officials or legislators being caught with their fingers in yet another corrupt pie.

The IPL row, Commonwealth Games, 2G spectrum scandal, land allotment allegations and the Adarsh housing society scam -- the skeletons of corruption keep tumbling out.

Is there a way to end this vicious circle of corruption that has spread its diseased roots into our nation's hallowed institutions?

Anna Hazare and other civil society activists have proposed a draft Lok Pal Bill to tackle the menace of corruption. The prime minister formed a sub-committee of the Group of Ministers to discuss the issue with these activists.

However, these two groups were unable to reach an agreement on the provisions of the Lok Pal Bill. According to the government, the activists demanded that the government should accept the Bill drafted by them without any changes.The Lok Pal Bill has been introduced eight times in the Lok Sabha (1968, 1971, 1977, 1985, 1989, 1996, 1998 and 2001).  However, each time the Lok Sabha was dissolved before the Bill could be passed, except in 1985 when it was withdrawn


The office of the Lok Pal is the Indian version of the office of an Ombudsman, who is appointed to inquire into complaints made by citizens against public officials.

The Lok Pal is a forum where the citizen can send a complaint against a public official, which would then be inquired into and the citizen would be provided some redressal.
There are diverging views on issues such as the inclusion of the office of the Prime Minister, ministers and Members of Parliament, inclusion of judges, and powers of the Lok Pal.

Some experts contend that all public officials should be accountable while others feel that the autonomy and privilege of Parliament require the Prime Minister, ministers, and Members of Parliament to be accountable only to Parliament.But Hazare and whole of the nation want the drafting people should have fifty percent common men and his ideas Thus he is fasting.
