Allow Breeze of Fresh Thoughts

Being busy in some activity means we are slaved by the activity which is more or less controlled by our current circumstances. At this time, we put all our body, mind and all their energies to solve the problem in hand. Although this is necessary to solve the current problem, this disallows us to breath in fresh wave of thoughts independent of our current circumstances. So, if we remain busy all the time hopping from one problem to another, from one activity to another, we never get a chance to have fresh innovative thoughts. This makes our life a mere routine and a lot boring for us as well as for others around. This counters our status as a social element. Since, one important aspect of human life is its sociability, by remaining busy all the time, we withdraw ourselves from being a human-being and become a mere robot in human form.

A mechanical life is dangerous for our health also because our mind gets no time to look after well-being of our body. In such a situation, even sicknesses are not realized unless they become acute and danger to life. For this reason, busy persons often have serious ailments, like high blood pressure, diabetes, abdomen ulcers, depression, heart diseases, etc. stored in their bodies.

One basic objective of human life is to contribute to progress of human civilization which is possible only when we have fresh innovative thoughts on problems and pleasures of human life. Therefore, a healthy human-being is who provide some of his time to fresh innovative thinking.

The most common occurrence of fresh thinking is when one is free from his/her routine activities and unbounded by his/her circumstantial factors. This makes an imperative for every one of us to have some free time. To many, it may look like idleness but it is not really so. It is an opportunity when one gets new ideas and fresh thoughts.

So, find some time free from your routines and go wild in the open fields, to river banks, etc. without being engrosses by any of your problems and don't try to think anything but allow your mind to grasp whatever comes to it in the most natural way. t may not look productive in the first instance, but if you keep on allowing it again and again, you may notice some thoughts developing further and taking concrete shapes. Some of these thoughts may even be pioneering thoughts for the humanity.

Human-Animal Relationship

About two weeks back, I purchased a she-goat calf for keeping it as a pet. I have been closely watching development of her relationship with me. The goat that was loyal and pet of somebody else is now mine to the extent that if she does not see me for some time, she starts crying. When I appear before her, she stands on her hind legs and supports her fore legs on by body to make a complaint of my absence and show her love to me. I discourage her for such a thing because I often have to go here and there and can not give her company for all the time of the day. In the beginning, I used to slap on her cheeks for discouraging her to expect me, but now I only need to show my hand to her to give her the same message. And she wonderfully understands my body language. But I have to do it almost every day which means that she has a short memory. I think because of this short memory only, she has forgotten her past master and treats me as her master now.

Animals may be less intelligent than human-beings but they are not cunning like the humans who think something else but may say just the reverse. So, animals are more reliable than the humans and their behavior is always on expected lines, unlike we humans.

There are three wild cats living in my garden who never come close to me and so never allowed me to touch them. Since, I have never disturbed them while being in the garden, they treat me like a harmless person. For this reason, if any of them come across my way, she/he just move a little distance and wait there to give me the way. They never demand or expect anything from me and feed themselves by hunting birds in the garden, like the birds feed themselves on insects available in the place. That is their way of life, so I never disturb them. In-spite of this, I can't say that they are loyal to me. After all, animals are inferior to humans so they don't consider that there is any use of their loyalty to us.

India is a country where too may of stray dogs are found on the streets and shitting everywhere and anywhere without any check by the human society. For this reason, I hate dogs and don't allow any in my presence. In-spite of this they often make my place dirty but always take care to run away fast if I am seen by them. They also recognize me and my hatred to them very well.

Another important thing I have noticed that the goat and the cats never disturb each other because they don't need each other as their food. So, animals intend to co-exist peacefully with each other provided they don't need others as their food.

This all shows that animals intend to coexist with humans and we must also respect their co-existence but discipline them to suit the humanitarian needs. Very clearly, animals understand the body language probably better than the humans.

Bicycle to Health

Use of a vehicle saves time but it prevents your body from exercising naturally and productively. So, one has to balance himself/herself between the two options. Health, being of primary importance, saving time gets the second priority. But still, saving time can not be ignored nder all circumstances. There is a vehicle which gives both the advantages of saving time as well as health. This vehicle is the bicycle.

Bicycle is a pedal-driven, human-powered vehicle Bicycling is a good exercise for legs and it helps in reducing belly fat - the initialization of most of the diseases in the body. Bicycle is not only convenient it is comfortable too. Needless to say that it is the most economical vehicle available to humanity.

A product of the 19th century, bicycles in the whole world number around 1 billion, twice that of the total number of automobiles in the world. In Netherlands, 27 percent of the total trips are made using bicycles and the number of women pedallers is around 55 percent. While people of affluent countries are rediscovering this as a novelty, poorer countries are ignoring it at the peril of their citizens' health.

A bicycle may conveniently be moved at an average speed of 12 km an hour and a person of average health can drive it continuously for about 3 hours without getting tired. Comparatively, an average pedestrian moves at a speed of 3 km an hour and can walk up a distance of 4/5 km without getting weired. So, if you have to move a distance of about 30 km and you can afford time, there is no better option than using a bicycle. Bicycle is a favorite vehicles for going on picnics.

Fermented Foods for Health

Aging in an environment congenial for growth of life in the form of bacteria is called fermentation. It may produce bacteria, both harmful and beneficial to humans. So, fermentation is done on selective basis and with tried methods to produce only the beneficial bacteria. Human societies have been fermenting food items for ages for preservation and as aid to digestion.

Pickles and vinegar are the oldest known fermented food articles which are principally produced as aids to digestive process. Wines and beer are other popular fermented produce popular for centuries. Red wine, aged-cheese and apple cider are fermented produce of modern times. These are taken in small quantities along with the meals to enhance the latter's digestion. Curd is also a fermented produce used as a food item all over the world. Some fermented food items are used as medicines to help healing the digestive system.

When a food item is fermented, some bacteria, mold or yeast is added as a seed. Through aging, the seeds predigest carbohydrates, fats and proteins to produce a micro-flora - bacteria friendly to gastrointestinal system. Acidophilus (Lactobasilus acidophilus) is a micro-flora which is commonly found in fermented vegetables and yogurt.

These micro-flora stay in the intestine and disallow production of harmful and parasitic bacteria there on one hand and cause breakdown of the food into nutrients for absorption by the intestines on the other hand.

Some popular and healthful fermented produce are -

Cultured vegetables
Practically any vegetable in raw form may be cultured by keeping it in an acidic environment which aids reproduction of beneficial bacteria. For this purpose, the sliced vegetables mixed with shredded cabbage are tightly packed and then water is added to fully immerse the mix in a glass or ceramic jar with its lid loosely fitted to allow breathing for a week or so. Salt and other spices may be added to improve taste. The process takes longer during winter than that in summer.

Vegetable Soup
Vegetable soup is made by adding enough water to the vegetable-cabbage mixture and kept for about a month or so. The process needs breathing but the regular intake of oxygen from the atmosphere aids growth of fungus which may be harmful. For this reason, the vegetable and the cabbage are kept fully immersed in water. Salt and other spices may also be added selectively to improve taste of the ferment. The acidic environment so produced causes growth of beneficial bacteria and extract of vegetables reaches the immersing water. Finally, the ferment is filtered to get the fermented water and the solid contents are thrown out. Such soups have medicinal properties and so are used to treat many ailments depending on the vegetable used in the process.

Miso
It is prepared from rice, soyabeans, barley or chickpeas by fermenting the paste in a wooden barrel for periods ranging from 2 months to 2 years. The produce has a lot of beneficial enzymes with traces of vitamin B-12 and anti-oxidants.

Pickles
Usually sour fruits, cleaned and sliced, are used for making pickles by aging them for periods ranging from 3 months to one year in a anti-fungal safe environment made by adding preservatives like Sodium Benzoate and Acetic Acid in small amounts. Spices like salt, pepper, etc. may also be added to improve taste. During aging, the fruit slices get softened. Such pickles are eaten in small quantities along with meals which improve digestion of food grains, pulses and vegetables, apart from providing taste to the food. these are rich in soluble fiber which aids intestinal functioning.

Vinegars and Ciders
The most common natural vinegar used in India is made from sugar cane juice added with some old vinegar and kept in a sealed earthen jar for about a year. The vinegar so produced is used to pickle green peppers, papaya slices and such other vegetables by keeping the vegetables immersed in the vinegar for about a month or so until the vegetable fully soaked in the vinegar gets softened.
Using apple or other fruit juices instead of sugar cane juice in a similar process produces ciders. The vinegars and ciders are rich in enzymes and are used medicinally to strengthen immune system of the body, control weight, balance blood pH value and most importantly to improve digestion.

A Wholesome Sex-play

A sex-play is wholesome only when both the mates reach the state of orgasm at the same time. Reaching orgasm by oneself and leaving the partner wanting more is a sin. Here are some tips for a wholesome sex-play.

No Disturbance
Any feeling of a third person being close-by sets the mood off of the two for a sex-play. So, make sure that the two are fully on their own without any disturbance for at least the next two hours.

Optimum temperature
Optimum temperature for the start of the play is about 14 degree Celsius, but it is for beginning only. Later, with the rise in temperatures of the two bodies being close and rubbing with each other, outer temperature hardly matters. Even in hot summers, when temperature soars to about 40 degree Celsius, two bodies dipped in sweat become more lusty and attractive, the seat working as a lubricant.

Readiness
A wholesome sex-play takes about 2 hours and much more for a repeat performance, which proves to be more enjoying. Sex-play need leisurely attitude and willingness of the two. For willingness, there need be no invitation in words from to the other. Smiling faces of the two and some indirect hints of some past instances of a good sex-play from one supported by the other are good indications of willingness of the two. If one is in mood and the other is not, it is better to be closer and caressing the not-so-willing partner, along with a little bit of undressing.

No woman of good taste would ever like to be naked and uncovered. So, while undressing take care of covering the two bodies with a fine sheet of cloth. This is relevant in the beginning only while in later stages, it matters little. A cushioned flat bed works the best for the play.

Kissing
Every person has some or the other body-part which is the most sensitive to sexual arousal. For women, kissing all around the neck arouses her the most. To show love to a woman, start with a kiss on the forehead, then on the eyes and then move to the lips to be followed by sucking the breasts and going deep into the vagina with the tongue. Lips are not the only parts used in kissing, tongue also works well in sync with the lips, particularly inside the mouth and the vagina. Kissing is a must for full arousal of the two bodies. In this game, man plays the active role.

Posture
Although many postures are possible for copulating, but lying with man over the woman is the best and the most comfortable for the two. Here some finer points are worth mentioning. Don't lift the legs of the woman but only widen them apart and after insertion, take the female legs in between the male legs pressing them together. This will tighten the grip of vaginal sheath for the most pleasure-full moments.

The Play
Again, don't be in a hurry but move slowly. The beginning must be a slow reciprocation which will automatically be sped up near the climax. It is also recommended to slow down the speed in between to increase the duration of the play. While reciprocating, take care not to take out the full organ but move up to the tip.
Reaching the maximum possible depth with hard strokes is preferred by women of good taste. This may require an occasional widening the woman's legs but never lift them up, if you love the woman and the play.
A very special recommendation is to move the organ circularly rubbing hard at the walls of the sheath with a very deep dig inside. This is the most wanted thing by women but little practised by men. Also remember that the repeat performance after some rest is always better for healthy couples.

The Orgasm and Thereafter
Any one may feel being close to the orgasm. To make the partner ready for it, it should be indicated with words such as 'come' and then try to prevent it for some moments to synchronize it with that of the partner. This is a matter of some practice. Even at this point, don't take out the organ but let the two saps be thoroughly mixed up and soaked by the organs. Lying still close to each other in this state is not only enjoyable but also good for health of the two. Let the ejection be on its own which may take some 15-20 minutes. Always end the play with a kiss and words like 'You are wonderful, thank you'.
