Right to Life- I Am A Girl

Female foeticide is deep rooted in the societies. Unfortunately it is spreading from the South Asian countries towards West and everyone needs to be aware of female foeticide. I am glad I came up with this website regarding the issue. Please go through this website. Motive is to create awareness and what people should not be practicing. They need to change their mind sets.

Quinoa - The healthy food

                                                           Quinoa in your diet

I was first introduced to Quinoa by my friend about few months ago. Ever since Quinoa has a special place in my  plate.  Though Quinoa looks like a cereal, it belongs to the family of beets and spinach and its scientific name is Chenopodium quinoa. To popularize Quinoa because of its nutrient values the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has officially declared that the year 2013 be recognized as "The International Year of the Quinoa."

 
The way I enjoy Quinoa:
Boil quinoa in water along with brocclli, corn, tomatoes, chillies (One cup quinoa in six cups of water)
Add salt, pepper to taste.
Add virgin olive oil (optional)
Boil until quinoa is soft and the water is all soaked up.
Enjoy it hot or cold.
 
Another variation is to have it as a salad. Boil the quinoa and add tomatoes, boiled corn and onions on top of it.
 

Nutritional values: Quinoa is gluten free, a great source of fiber, with high protein quality and has  adequate source of all essential amino acids, including lysine and isoleucine. It provides a variety of antioxidant phytonutrients, including ferulic, coumaric, hydroxybenzoic, and vanillic acid.  Is a rich source of vitamins such as vitamin E and riboflavin. Quinoa is a very good source of antioxidant-promoting manganese. It is also a good source of heart-healthy magnesium, folate, and fiber, as well as bone-building phosphorus and copper. The super food is known to have anitinflamatory properties. Studies on animals have shown Quinoa to lower the total cholesterol values.

Love for gardening

      This summer my garden had been neglected as I had not been home most of the time. My sister had visited and I wanted to be hundred percent with her whom I was seeing after long. After she left it took me time to get into my routine schedules after a very long vacation. I got up fine morning and sipping my tea went straight in my garden to see so much care was needed. At a stretch I spend five hours in my garden weeding, watering and planting more plants that my frined had given. As I touched the plants and admired I thought why gadening was so close to me. Thoughts about this ran in my mind.

    While gardeng I am so close to nature thinking only about the plants, seeing the smiling faces of the flowers and the growing buds. It is that time that gives me happiness of beautifying my home and growing something that has life. Reminds of my mom and dad back home who are are gardening lovers and makes me think how gardening was different to me as a kid. It is a pleasure to think how I can be creative in planting plants and share them with other gardener friends. Joys are stretched to see the gowth of shrubs, flowers, the fruits, colours of flowers and shapes of leaves. Everything is so  peaceful around me and I can hear the birds sing and the bees buzz. It is the time when when my mind is undoubtly refreshed.
