A rejoinder to blog on most beautiful butterflies &From Wings of rainbow with love

The US Scientists have discovered a new butterflies species with striking olive-Green eye colour,in Texas This newly discovered butterfly is known as Vicroy's Ministreak. Although individuals of this species in the Smithosonian sentomology collection were discovered a century ago,this particular species with Olive-Green Eyes were not specifically recognised earlier,as it was confused to be among the common similar looking Grey Ministreak butterflies which had Dark Brown&Black Eyes. so this one now discovered is a unique one. Jeffrey Glassberg,President of the North American Butterfly Association,who had discovered the species had named the species as Vicroy's Ministreak after his wife(Jane Vicroy Scot) Bob Robbins,the butterfly curator at the at the Smithsonian in Washington DC togetherwith Glassberg are the authors of the paper officially describing Vicroy's Ministreak,published in the Journal Zoo Keys. The new Olive-Green eyed Ministreak is a new added attaction of the species.

Volcanos-Last Days of Pompeii

A famous novel Written by Edward BulWer-Lytton in 1834 based on a Russian painting he found in Milan was the story of A blind flower selling Girl Nydya who could not achieve her love .the story revolves in different directions as usual & finally ends up in the suicide of Nydya.Thereafter the city of Pompeiiwas destroyed by the eruption of a volcano called Mount VesuVius This was a story similar to the Kannaki of Tamil Naadu. The novel Was later on published in February 2006 also which is available on net to read. Why all of a sudden the Valcono came in to pictures a reasonably good question. Before trying to answering this question ,there is a confusion over 2 cities in the World SANTIAGO& SAN DIEGO The former is in chile while the later is in California USA. THERE is one Volcano in the border of Chille & Argentina called Copahue.this Volcano has started Emiting smoke continuously & people in the adjoining areas are being evacuated.The area is now on red alert. This volcano is around 10,000 feet high.This volcano is acive & had activity in December last. She had a major eruption in the year2002. This time until now there is no emitting of Ash .The emitting of Ash is very dangerous forJet Engines of Aircrafts. The turbine Engines could develop Problems if the Ash enters the Engine because the Ash has property of getting melted in the Turbo engines which could damage parts of the Engine. This position mentioned above is as on the 27th of May 20013. The confusion of the name of the 2 cities is a matter of slight concern for those happened to know about this news. This News has not got enough publicity until now.

The Cricket Fastival of India - Ricky Ponting to Unmukth Chand

The cricket festival of India ,a mix- up of cricketers from India& abroad,is coming to an end with just a couple of Matches including final left to be staged. An article on cricket " They came,They saw& Flopped" by Nishad.P.Vaidya prompted me to write this Blog. Everything he he has brought out in the article is true. To put it in a nut shell,he has clearly brought out the cases of the veteran cricketers like most successful Veteran Captain Ricky Ponting,Kumar Sangakkara,Jack Kallis, Veerender Sehwag,Tilakratne Dilshan ,Ross Tailor & a few more good players could not find form after playing a few games .One clear factor emerges from this is that the limited cricket version of T -20 does not suit their talent& had to struggle. A few more veterans were not mentioned by him are Mahela Jaywardene ,Yuvraj Singh & Brendon MacCullum and the great Wicket Keeper- cum- Batsman Adam Gilchrist who also could not find form & struggled. A more recent origin of good players to be mentioned are Unmukth Chand& Cheteswar Poojara Unmukth Chand the 20 year old lad who captained the Under 19 Cricket Team which won the World cup for India last Year(2012) playing almost practically alone. Why all the good players could not find form& why they struggled? The answer to this question is not very far from us which can not be traced. Basically the latest Version of cricket Fastival of India is a matter of Human Auction& not human Action. A good batsman need some time to settle ,watch the Bowler closely& minutely to study his Bowling Action,the ability of the spinners to turn the ball,the swinging of the fast bowlers ,the nature of Yorkers they bowl,whether the amount of reverse swinging is detrimental to his wicket& the amount of the help& the impact of moisture in the Wicket to the Bowler etc etc. But in the latest Fastival cricket neither the Bowler nor the batsman gets time to observe & settle. This is why the Test cricket & Later version One day Internationals based on which the World Cup of Cricket started In 1975 became the real versions of Cricket The present Fastival cricket is like the Vegeterian Kerala Dish AVIYAL.This is nothing but a collection of Varieties of Vegetable put together ( including left overs)&cooked by adding a few ingredients . The AVIYAL is a very tasty dish but the latest mixed- up cricket of Indian and Foreign players does not look so tasty because of the involvement of illegal ways of making money & changing the color of money from Black to white Including enormous waste of money on cheer girls to make it more glamourous. The Cricket is 125 years old & with a Tradition of quality as the Judiciary has pointed out. But this Fastival Cricket is just 6 to 7 years old. Do we need such a new version? Is it not time to stop it to save the Traditional game of Glorious Uncertainty played in India for more than 125 Years? Do you not think a formal Ban on this Fastival Cricket of T-20 which not only diminishes the quality & value of traditional cricket but indirectly destroy the carrier of youngsters involved in the game?

Rejoinder to blog dt March 4th Monday 2013-Rafel Nadal a Great Lawn Tennis Star

In continuation of the blog Dt 4th March 2013, here is yet another Glorious Victory for my most favorite Lawn Tennis Star Rafel Naadal. In the Italian Open Nadal once again proved his Supremacy in Clay Court defeating yet another Great Player Roger Federer,the score being a notable & formidable 6-1,6-3. Federer could claim just 4 sets out of 12 against smashing Speedster Nadal is also a proof for the injury Sustained by him earlier preventing his appearance in major tournaments over a period of 6 months,has not really affected his extraordinary skill on Clay courts. This had been the 7 Th Crown in the ItalianOpen for Nadal. This also marked the 8 Th final played after return from Injury apart from being the 36th win out of 38 matches. The story of This years Italian Open does not end here. This Open also marked an Identical women's Crown Victory for Serena Williams (USA)over the Russian Star Maria Sharapova Ie 6-1,6-3. This Open also marked the Crown win for Brayan Brothers( top seeds ) of USA over the Indians Pair Bhupathy -Bhopanna 6-2,6-3.

Eating Insects&eating Vegetables-Nutrition

Recently the Food&Agricultural Organisation (FAO) said ,the idea of eating worm,Grasshopper,or Cicada at every meal may seem strange,this has many health benefits.It is said that insects are high& rich in protein,fat&mineral content.They can be eaten as whole or grinded into(ground)Powder or Paste& incorporated into other foods A report Dt 14th May 2013 from FAO is relevant in this context which says the insects are not harmful& as a contrary they are quite nutritious And they contain a lot of Protien.it also says thee insects as whole or on converted measures are delicacy of many countries like Asia,Africa& Latin America. This also stress the need to include in normal diets as supplements to food to achieve food security& Nutrition factor all over the world about 2 Billion people Apart from this more surprising is the information about Over one Million known Insect species around 1900 are being consumed by human at present. Around the World today ,there a many firms coming up today to commercialize this & to start production soon It is also believed by UNITED nations that if these products get required stability it could to some extent help to solve the problem of lack of nutrition among poor kids all over the World. Surprisingly,it is also mentioned that this kind of food supplement could help solving the Curse of excess fat among Americans as there are many fat people in America who desire to become slimmer. Although this being so,there does not appear to have any clear cut directive from FAO on the usage of vegetarian Diet for food security except opinion from Experts& doctors .In fact there is a directive of 15 Tips to those who hate consuming Vegetarian food from EalineMagee,MPH ,RD an expert Columnist from WebMD Health site which is a highly useful guide for interesting reading. However,there are detailed guide on Plant Nutrition for Food Security of poor kids all over the World. There is also report from FAO In August 2012 regarding the effect of Draught that might force Global shift to Vegetarian diets. Many reports from environmentalVegeterinism are also available on Net. There are also scattered reports on vegetables & their Nutritional effects. There is one 2009 Rome report from UN also on vegetarian diets. There are also some good guides on vegetarian diets published by reliable sites. Despite all the above, a clear picture categorically proving Vegetables above all Non-Vegeterian diets does not appear tobe available to prove the upper hand of vegetables over and above Non- Vegetarian diet food. The pictures depicted above are just a humble attempt to throw some light on the vegetarian diets useful for Humanbeings. The Milk is the best choice always considered to be a rich content of many Ingredients required for human. In fact Milk is considered as a complete vegetarian Diet invariably consumed by Vegetarians as well as Non- Vegetarians. The Milk is a rich source of the following ingredients for life: 1)Carbohydrate 2)Fat 3)Protien 4)Vitamins& Minerals 5)Enzymes The Microbial Standards for Milk,Antibiotics in Milk,Mastitis and Somatic Cells counts,Antibacterial properties of Milk,Microorganisms about Milk,theDisease Outbreaks and literature on Milk are interesting reading available on Net to get more acquainted with the benefits of consuming Milk. The other different nutritional facts of different vegetables & fruits are indicated in the chart depicted above. In the present World ,where Food Security is being considered as a must for the survival of human beings,India Is not lagging behind on the issue. Recently,an Act of Parliament to enforce food Security as a fundamental right was about to come into effect had Both Houses of the Parliament unanimously approved it. But unfortunately the Bill introduced in the Parliament could not come through owing to certain unrest among the Members. The required discussion before making it an act fell into deaf Ears as there was not an opportunity to discuss it. However ,the Bill has not yet lost for ever. A re- introduction of it and it's becoming an Act of Parliament could save Millions of people especially poor Children starving & lacking nourishing food of Nutritional values. When the Bill is likely to be re-introduced ,only time could tell. .

Shivaparvathy Temple,Ponnumthuruthu-An ideal picnic Spot in Kerala

This attempt is for the benefit of those on vacation in Kerala about a Temple in a beautiful small island of Kerala accidently I came across on the Net I thought it is worth writing for the benefit of tourists on vacation seeking beautiful natural picnic spots in Kerala which are not widely known. The name of this island in Malayalam suggests it has something to do with Gold( Ponnu means Gold& Thuruthu means a small island) .in other words if one wants to call it a Golden Island ,he/she is at liberty to do so. There is also a story or rather a legend in support of calling it a Golden Island. The Legend goes like this: It is said that the Travancore Royal Family Queens had plenty of Gold jewellery& ornaments .In order to keep them Safe they selected this small Island where ,perhaps,they buried it & kept a mark to retrieve it later when they Desired to have them back.They might have indeed taken them back also at the most appropriate& auspicious occasion they needed them . So at the moment there does not appear to have any treasure of gold there but the place is so Picturesque& fascinating sightseeing experience with the beautiful scenerio to remember for ever. The place is also to be considered as as spot which presents total tranquility,quietness & imperturbability& peace to those suffer from the ear breaking Noise & disturbances in any modern city.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT- Rejoinder to blog"Right to Food"

The Food security bill could not be passed & converted into an Act by the Parliament exclusively owing to the Disruption caused by the resistance from the opposition parties & their non-cooperation. The attempt from the Speaker to overcome the resistance caused by the unruly scenes in the Loksabha had failed& a decision to adjourn & terminate the session had to be taken. The sufferers, obviously, were the innocent General Public who had elected them to go to the Parliament. Apart from this loss to the people,enormous loss had also occurred to the State exchequer.Every minute of Parliament session costs Rs2.5 Lakhs to the public Money. Both the Houses of Parliament in the 2nd Budget session were supposed to spend 32 days of business.Out of this the Question hour lost totally because of interruption with noise for 21 Days.in this process the Loksabha which was to do business for 94 Hours and the lost time accounted for 92 hours& 40 minutes Similarly,the RajyaSabha was to convene for 82 hours & could not do any business except a farewell session for the Prime Minister whose tenure was to end.He is however seeking re-election from Assam. Thus the Rajyasabha Sabha lost approximately 82 hours business. Thus the lost hours of business for Loksabha was 92 Hours& 40 minutes& the Rajyasabha 82 Hours. Thus the total hours of loss of Business of both the Houses were to the tune of 175 hours approximately. The approximate cost of the lost hours is thus RS26.25 Crores to the Exchequer The very Noble concept of the Constitution " For the People,By the People,Of the People" Is literally lost apart from the Loss of " Right to Food" simply because of the odd behavior from the Representatives of the People.
