I have had a number of conversations with friends about the concept of evolution. I never believed in evolution myself. Many of my friends, most of them being engineers and scientists, never accepted whenever i said “I don’t believe in evolution”. It seems that every scientific mind is trained to believe that evolution is the most logical way to where we are today. Right from school, we are taught how nature transformed a single celled organism into this massively intelligent humans.

Detox Diets!
There are a growing number of people who get sucked into the so-called “detox diets”. The concept of detox diets is to remove toxins by following a prescribed method in a period of a few days/weeks. There are a number of procedures that can be followed, for example following a diet regime, eating specific herbs and herb supplements, chelation to name a few. Juice fasting is also considered by many as an excellent method of detoxing the body of its impurities and enable the body to return to its original state!
Juice Fasting – The positives
Juice fasting is a novel idea which would work for people who have an addiction towards alcohol, smoking and substance abuse, caffeine, etc. People who feast on chocolates and ice cream, and even people who have a very unhealthy eating pattern and lifestyle can give this a try. Read More »
There has never been such good support for being energy-conscious. People around the world are taking the environment much more seriously and want to conserve and spend energy wisely, more than ever before. The dramatic changes in climate that we see today is because of the energy we burnt 30 years ago. So, what we do today will have effect on the climate for the next 30 years. If we were to continue the trend, unexpected and severe climatic change will happen in the next 30 years – which scientists predict can cause an increase in global temperatures of up to 4 degrees.
Future is today
So, if we are very careful in spending energy and burning fossil fuels, we can bring back the world close to its natural state and leave our children to enjoy the world as we have seen. The result of whatever we decide to do today can only be felt and seen in 2040. But it is not very difficult to cut down on Carbon-di-oxide emissions, that cause global warming. All we need is to stay united to solve this problem and do minor tweaks in our lifestyle. In a problem like this, every penny counts. So, even a simple change can make a great impact.

Not so long ago, i was a master procrastinator. By that i do not mean, i blindly kept pushing things to a later day. I was a sort of a person who would take 80% of the time to prepare and sport my mind to be set on a task and 20% of the time to do that task. Though this cannot be called procrastination, sometimes because my mind was not willing to do a task, i ended up wasting more time to “cool my mind down” which eventually delayed the whole task and i ended up procrastinating.
Nowadays, though i try hard not to procrastinate, it is not so easy to get rid of the habit completely. But I, definitely, have got better and no longer just postpone things just because my brain doesn’t feel like doing it… I should admit this was a tough habit to break, but there are a few ways to actually break it. Earlier, i even had a saying (a bit like a principle) that went “why do something today that you can do it tomorrow?”. My wife on the other hand is completely opposite. She wants to complete everything as soon as possible while i would like to push it to the final moments.
