I have just gone through a write-up in Time magazine dated 14th July 2016 titled "The Healing Power of Nature" by Alexandra Sifferlin,  It has affirmed and expanded my understanding about the Jungles and their amazing healing power. It all started with a study carried out by Japanese researchers,at Chiba University  they concluded that people who spent 40 minutes walking in a forest full of cdar trees have lower level of stress harmone coristol, which is largely involved in blood pressure and immune system function, they compared this with walking for 40 minutes in lab, the researcher Youshifumi Miyazaki said that spending time in the forest induces a state of physiologic relaxation.

It is also found that in case people spend night in jungle, they often exhibit changes in blood which are ass...

PANAMA PAPERS  Today I watched latest TED Talk delivered by Gerard Ryle . Gerald is Director of International Consortium of Investigative Journalists with its head quarters at Washington DC .He is the person  responsible for bringing truth behind murky world of the tax havens. In fact, whole thing was  investigated by Gerald and a team of dedicated investigative journalists spread in the length and breadth of globe,  they all  worked day and night for more than a year to bring out the big  truth now called as Panama Papers.

Salman Khan launches the autobiography of Sania Mirza                                                ‘Ace Against Odds’ captures Sania’s inspiring journey to the top It was during my stay on Road No. 12 Banjara Hills in Hyderabad around 2003, I come to know about Sania Mirza. In our small and  narrow lane connecting to main road, I used to see a shiny green yellow mixed color small car almost every day. On the back window shield of this car Sunil Gavaskar's signatures were inscribed. I asked one of my neighbor about owner of the car.

It was almost six months passed I did not see this girl, again told by other neighbors that she was playing European Circuit, Wimbledon and so many other championships, so how I could ...

We all  know it very well that Carbohydrate are really bad for our health. And our breakfast staple  double roti is full of the carbohydrate, but still it has certain goodness for all of us. Let us try to find out : First of all it is very important how to eat Double Roti. Maybe that sounds like an inane exercise because we’ve been eating copious amounts of it all our life.

Despite all the anti-carb clamoring, double roti can be  healthy, particularly if it is made with whole grains. One ounce of whole-wheat double roti provides significant fiber, protein, B vitamins and essential minerals including calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc, as well as antioxidants, all for just 70 ...

The commercial jet aircraft market and the airline industry remain extremely competitive. Boeing faces aggressive international competitors who are intent on increasing their market share, such as Airbus, Embraer and Bombardier and, to s...
