#161. Old is Gold!!!
Coconut water dubbed excellent sports drink for light exercise.
Coconut water is a natural drink that has everything your average sports drink has and more.
It has five times more potassium than Gatorade and helps you to get rid of the cramps.
It’s a healthy drink that replenishes the nutrients that your body has lost during a moderate workout.
The potassium in coconut water also might benefit other people who do not exercise.
What the westerners find out after intense research, our ancestors knew instinctively.
Now canned tender coconut water is the hot favorite here.
Believe me it tastes like nothing I have drunk ever before.
It is pure nectar and drinking a chilled can is sheer joy for the people here !!!
#162. Vegans
My little grand daughter feels one up for being a VEGAN!
She feels we vegetarians are one rung below her.
At times she objects to our touching her
after touching the butter milk container!
A new kind of Un-touchability???
#163. Complex emotions!
The little girl loves her mother.
She loves her new little brother.
BUT She can’t stand the sight
of them being happy together!!!
Human emotions are very complicated!
#164. “Raghupathi Raaghava!”
My military uncle surprised all of us when he took palm-full of water
and took it round his food before starting to eat it.
My father, a busy doctor, was duly impressed by this action…
until my uncle replied in the most casual tone,
“Actually I do not remember the correct mantra.
Yet I want to chant some mantra!
So I just say Raghupthi raaghava raaja raam
patheetha paavana sita ram!”
Bonus info…
my dad’s name is Raman
my Uncle’s name is Ramachandran
#165. High talks and little kids.
Overheard in the pre-school / play school with children of average age 3+ and 4(-) years.
“I am very disappointed with my parents!”
(does the child really know the meaning of the long word he just used?)
“I don’t want to go home”
(isn’t every child supposed to be looking forward for the long bell at the end of the school hours?)
“I didn’t make a bad choice!”
(what were the choices? Which one was good and which one bad??)
We never knew such concepts since we inherently obeyed our parents
and believed that they would do whatever is best for us.
What is the world coming to???
