ஏலக்காய் எத்தனை அருமை பாருங்க !!!

Inline image 2
ஏலக்காயில் இவ்ளோ இருக்கா?
வாசனைப் பொருட்களின் அரசி என்று வர்ணிக்கப்படுவது ஏலக்காய். சமையலில் வாசனைக்காக சேர்க்கப்படும் ஏலக்காய் அசைவ உணவுகளுக்கு கூடுதல் சுவை சேர்க்கக்கூடியது.
ஏலக்காயில் காணப்படும் எளிதில் ஆவியாகும் எண்ணெய்களான போர்னியோல், கேம்பர், பைனின், ஹீயமுலீன், கெரியோ பில்லென், கார்வோன், யூகேலிப்டோல், டெர்பினின், சேபினின் ஆகியவற்றின் காரணமாக அதில் அரிய மருத்துவ குணங்கள் நிரம்பி உள்ளன. அவை…

* குழந்தைகளுக்கு வாந்தி ஏற்பட்டால் இரண்டு ஏலக்காய்களை பொடியாக்கி, அந்தப் பொடியை தேனில் குழைத்து குழந்தையின் நாக்கில் மூன்று வேளை தடவினாலே போதும். வாந்தி உடனே நின்று விடும்.

* ஜலதோஷத்தால் பாதிக்கப்பட்டு மூக்கடைப்பில் அவதிப்படும் குழந்தைகளுக்கும் ஏலக்காய் தகுந்த நிவாரணம் தருகிறது. நான்கைந்து ஏலக்காய்களை நெருப்பில் போட்டு, அந்தப் புகையை குழந்தைகள் சுவாசித்தாலே மூக்கடைப்பு உடனே திறந்து கொள்ளும்.

* மன அழுத்தப் பிரச்சினை உள்ளவர்கள், ‘ஏலக்காய் டீ’ குடித்தால் இயல்பு நிலைக்கு வருவார்கள். டீத் தூள் குறைவாகவும், ஏலக்காய் அதிகமாகவும் சேர்த்து டீ தயாரிக்கும்போது வெளிவரும் இனிமையான நறுமணத்தை நுகர்வதாலும், அந்த டீயைக் குடிப்பதால் ஏற்படும் புத்துணர்வை அனுபவிப்பதாலும் மன அழுத்தம் சட்டென்று குறைகிறது.

* நா வறட்சி, வாயில் உமிழ்நீர் ஊறுதல், வெயிலில் அதிகம் வியர்ப்பதால் ஏற்படும் தலைவலி, வாந்தி, குமட்டல், நீர்ச்சுருக்கு, மார்புச்சளி, செரிமானக் கோளாறு ஆகிய பிரச்சினைகளுக்கு ஏலக்காயை வாயில் போட்டு மென்றாலே நிவாரணம் பெற முடியும். அதேநேரம், ஏலக்காயை அதிகமாக, அடிக்கடி வாயில் போட்டு மெல்லுவது நல்லதல்ல.

* வெயிலில் அதிகம் அலைந்தால் தலைசுற்றல், மயக்கம் ஏற்படும். இதற்கு நான்கைந்து ஏலக்காய்களை நசுக்கி, அரை டம்ளர் தண்ணீரில் போட்டு, கஷாயமாகக் காய்ச்சி, அதில் சிறிது பனை வெல்லம் போட்டு குடித்தால் தலைசுற்றல் உடனே நீங்கும். மயக்கமும் மாயமாய் மறைந்துவிடும்.

* விக்கலால் அவதிப்படுவோர் இரண்டு ஏலக்காய்களை நசுக்கி, அத்துடன் நான்கைந்து புதினா இலைகளைப் போட்டு, அரை டம்ளர் தண்ணீரில் நன்கு காய்ச்சி வடிகட்டி, மிதமான சூட்டில் இந்தக் கஷாயத்தைக் குடித்தாலே போதும்.

* வாய்வுத் தொல்லையால் அவதிப்படுவோர் ஏலக்காயை நன்கு காய வைத்து பொடியாக்கி, அந்தப் பொடியில் அரை டீஸ்பூன் எடுத்து, அரை டம்ளர் தண்ணீரில் கொதிக்கவிட வேண்டும். உணவு உட்கொள்வதற்கு முன்பாக, இந்த ஏலக்காய் தண்ணீரைக் குடித்தால் வாய்வுத் தொல்லை உடனே நீங்கிவிடும்.

Paintings wherein Visitors are able to ‘Step Inside’ !!!

At first glance, these surreal photographs look like they could have been shot on a film set.

But they are, in fact, two dimensional painting that trick the viewer into thinking they exist in three-dimensions.

The paintings are the work of Tromp l’oeil artists, which translates from French into ‘deceive the eye’.

WHAT IS TROMP L’OEIL?

Trompe l’oeil painting has been around since ancient Greek and Roman times.

It first appeared in the legendary tale of two painters, Zeuxis and Parrhasius, who were trying to decide which of them was the more accomplished artist.

They brought two covered canvases to show each other. Zeuxis revealed his first – an image of a bunch of grapes so lifelike that birds pecked at the canvas.

Zeuxis then leaned over to pull the cover off Parrhasius’s painting, only to find that the covering itself was the painting. Having been fooled, Zeuxis admitted defeat.

They are part of an exhibition at a museum in Seoul, South Korea, allowing visitors to ‘crawl into’ the paintings to take amusing, and often bizarre, photographs

Catching money falling from a truck, and even getting peed on,  are all possible at the exhibition.

The Trick Eye Museum contains hundreds of oversized paintings enabling guests to orient themselves in perspective with the images.

For instance, visitors can seem as though they are hanging off a cliff or taking part in Botticelli’s Birth of Venus

Some of the images take up entire rooms and have been turned on their side allowing the subject to look like they are climbing the walls or standing on the ceiling.

There are also giant paintings of sushi pieces reaching out from the frame and images of angel wings stretching out from the walls.

What is the Origin of the Phrace ” Caught Red Handed ” ?…

Carl F. states: During WWII, I saw my father go to get a physical for the Navy, when he returned home for a week before shipping out he had red ink on the back of his hand that took 2 or 3 days to wash off. He said after the physical if you passed they would brush red ink on to show you passed but gave no reason why. So when traveling people he met would say, “I see you got caught red handed.”   Where did the phrase “caught red handed” come from?

Now You KnowThis expression, “caught red handed”, has its origins in Scotland around the 15th century.  Given the context it was often used in the earliest references, the phrase “red hand” or “redhand” probably came about referring to people caught with blood on their hands.

The first known documented instance of “red hand” is in the Scottish Acts of Parliament of James I, written in 1432:

That the offender be taken reid hand, may be persewed, and put to the knawledge of ane Assise, befoir the Barron or Landeslord of the land or ground, quhidder the offender be his tennent, unto quhom the wrang is done or not…  And uthers not taken reid hand, to be alwaies persewed befoir the…

It subsequently popped up numerous times in various legal proceedings in Scotland, nearly always referring to someone caught in the act of committing some crime, such as “apprehended redhand”, “taken with redhand”, etc.

The first documented instance of the expression morphing from “red hand” to “red handed” was in the early 19th century work Ivanhoe, written by Sir Walter Scott:

I did but tie one fellow, who was taken redhanded and in the fact, to the horns of a wild stag.

Its use in Ivanhoe subsequently helped popularized it throughout the English speaking world.

It further morphed to the full “caught red handed” phrase about a half a century after Ivanhoe was published, first appearing in Guy Livingstone written by George Alfred Lawrence and published in 1857:

My companion picked up the object; and we had just time to make out that it was a bell-handle and name-plate, when the pursuers came up – six or seven “peelers” and specials, with a ruck of men and boys. We were collared on the instant. The fact of the property being found in our possession constituted a ‘flagrans delictum’ – we were caught red-handed.

Jokes for the Day…”Tale of Two cities& Twins …”!!!

Three men were discussing at a bar about coincidences. The first man said, ” my wife was reading a “tale of two cities” and she gave birth to twins”
“That’s funny”, the second man remarked, “my wife was reading ‘the three musketeers’ and she gave birth to triplets”
The third man shouted, “Good God, I have to rush home!”
When asked what the problem was, he exclaimed, ” When I left the house, my wife was reading Ali baba and the forty Thieves”!!!

A man looks out the window into his back yard and sees his dog shaking and tossing something into the air. He rushed out to find that it was the neighbors’ rabbit, Mr. Bun Bun, and he was very dead. Mr. Bun Bun was also filthy with dog drool and mud, but thankfully there was no blood: his back must have broken at the first shake.
The man decided that he could not possibly explain to his neighbors how his dog had gotten into their yard and broke into the rabbit cage and killed Mr. Bun Bun while they were away.
He bathed Mr. Bun Bun until completely clean and dry, placed him back in his cage, re-latched the door and hoped they would believe that their rabbit had passed away peacefully.
Several days later, the man notices his neighbor mowing his lawn, so he walks over and asks how things were going.
“Well” the neighbor says, “not so well. We lost Mr. Bun Bun last week, and we are all still very upset about it all.”
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.”
“Yes, we found him one day when we got home, and he must have died in his sleep because he looked so peaceful.”
(Whew!) “Well, that does not sound too bad.”
“Oh no, and we were not surprised: I mean he was very old, and had really started to show his age the last few months.”
“I guess I am a bit confused then, as to why your family is still upset.”
“Well, we buried the little guy out by the back fence and thought we were all done with it, but you are not going to believe this: Someone dug him up, cleaned him up and put his body back into his cage as some form of mean and nasty practical joke.”

Message for the Day…” You will Experience Divinity Only When…”

People get carried away by the body and forget the Divinity within. Have strong faith in God. Do not have faith in this body, which is temporary. Body is like a water bubble, mind is like a mad monkey. Don’t follow the body, don’t follow the mind. Follow your conscience. That is the principle of the Divine Self (Atma). You will experience Divinity only when you follow your conscience. Love everybody, but do not trust anybody. You have to repose your trust only in God. What is the reason? Why should you not trust others? It is because Man is impermanent. God expects only love. You can cultivate love easily. Love is within you, develop it. You have to share this love with everybody. Love even the one who hates you. To harm a person who harmed you is nothing great. Real greatness lies in loving even the person who harmed you.

Jokes for the Day ….

The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists…
Two men and a woman.
For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
“We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances.
In side of this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!!!”
The man said, “You can’t be serious. I could never shoot my wife.”
The agent said, “Then you’re not the right man for this job.”
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the man came out
with tears in his eyes.” I tried, but I can’t kill my wife.”
The agent said, “You don’t have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.”
Finally, it was the woman’s turn. She was given the same instructions to kill her husband.
She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls.
After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman.
She wiped the sweat from her brow, and said, “This gun is loaded with blanks. I had to beat him to death with the chair

……………………..

An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, Bubba, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Bubba:
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.

Love, Dad

A few days later, he received a letter from his son.

Dear Dad:
For heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up that garden. That’s where I buried the BODIES.
Love, Bubba

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local Police showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.
That same day, the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Dad:
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. It’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love, Bubba
