Milk in Nepal and India: the difference!

-
Image
 I have observed that whenever milk ferments when I am in India, the paneer or cottage cheese does not come out easily. Even if I boil it and add lime juice to it, the cheese formed is quite little and more powdery than cheesy.  But when the same happens in Nepal, the cheese formation is immediate, dense and cheesy. I do not have to do more efforts to get cottage cheese out of the milk in Nepal. What is the reason? I checked internet and found some factors that can affect the quality and amount of cheese  1. Freedom from pathogenic bacteria - Good cheese forms of milk is free from pathogenic bacteria. Differences between Nepali vs Indian panipuri  2. Different milk quality with different amounts of fats and proteins  3. Ultra-pasteurization can destroy vital enzymes and bacteria that are required for cheese formation  4. If temperature of milk is less when it ferments, cheese formation will be less.  5. If milk is rancid, it means it's fats are also br...

Johnny Ruffo: his health journey, diagnosis of brain cancer, and his career!

-

 Australian singer-songwriter cum actor, Johnny Ruffo is just 32 years of age. Three years back in 2017, his doctors diagnosed him with a cancerous brain tumor when he had a migraine. He underwent an operation for removal of the tumor and also was put on aggressive therapy for brain cancer. He was cleared of it but has a relapse last week.

JOHNNY RUFFO AND HIS HEALTH JOURNEY

Australian singer-songwriter was a highly talented musician and also an actor. But most of the time, life is not generous on good and talented individuals. He had a diagnosis of brain cancer on him three years back. On 10 August 2017, Johnny revealed that he had brain surgery for removal of a brain tumor. He had approached doctors for treatment of migraine when it came to light that he actually had a brain tumor.

A biopsy taken from the site was sent for histopathological investigation and the result was that the tumor was cancerous. A week later, Johnny posted on his Instagram that since it was a cancerous growth, he will be put on aggressive chemotherapy to stop the cancer growth.

In May 2019, Johnny gave a radio interview in which he revealed that he was cleared of cancer.

THE RELAPSE OF BRAIN CANCER

Last week, Johnny again posted on his Instagram the sad and heartbreaking news that his brain cancer has relapsed. He wrote:

"After an unexpected week of seizures and excruciating headaches it is with a heavy heart that i have to let you know i now have another huge battle ahead of me as my brain cancer has returned."

He added:

"Though i will dig deep and beat this sht disease again 👊🏽💜 #fckcancer"

Johnny’s post exuded optimism thanks to the strong moral support he has from his girlfriend, Tahnee Sims. On 30 November 2020, Tahnee uploaded a collage of black and white photos of the couple and captioned the series:

"What a superstar 💜,"

In the past, on several occasions, Johnny had talked about his supportive girlfriend and gushed about her. He had credited her with saving his life and making him laugh and remain happy against all odds.

JOHNNY AND HIS CAREER

After he was said to have cleared cancer, Johnny in June 2019 released his new single called Broken Glass. He had said at that time:

"This song is probably the most vulnerable song I've written. It's very personal for me. It's loosely about my experiences in the past two or three years – and about being down and out – not necessarily about cancer, but about anything like depression or losing a loved one."

Johnny started his music career at the age of 12. His inspiration was Michael Jackson. He learned to play guitar and piano and wrote his first song when he was 14. He started work as a concreter and also used to perform with the band Supanova around Perth.

Johnny also did films and starred in Dancing with the Stars as a contestant. In 2020, he was seen in Neighbours. He has two nominations on his name but no wins.

Morton's toe: Everything you need to know about your longer second toe

-

 Often, one notices that the second toe of some people is longer than the great toe. People say different things for it. Many of them say that it implies that the owner of such a longer second toe is a dominant, creative, energetic person in real life and very ambitious and peace and happiness-loving. But no one has tried to understand the reason, science, medicine and problems of having such a toe. It is called as Morton’s toe or Greek foot.  What is a Greek foot? Many people in the world have a longer second toe of the foot. Such feature may be on one side or in both the feet. It is called Morton’s toe or Greek foot. The other names for it are Morton’s foot or royal toe. But the reason is not the second toe is longer but the fact is that the first metatarsal below the great toe is shorter. Thus it is not due to the faulty phalanges but due to the difference in height of the metatarsals. Since the second metatarsal is relatively longer than the first metatarsal, the joint at ...

There can be no universal forgiveness! It never exists!

-
Image
Forgiveness or pardon means clearing off the feelings of resentment or revenge towards the offender. In most contexts it implies giving up any expectation of justice. People justify this act of forgiveness from a religious point of view and psychologists justify it as an act that would bring peace to the victim. But my experience tells me that both religion as well as psychologists are absolutely wrong in asking a victim to forgive the evil person. This act is bad from a society point of view and would lead to a rise in crimes and unhappiness. Let me explain in depth with examples. 1. I have a friend in the UK. She is originally from Nigeria. She has two siblings who are married with children and she herself is single and childless. In the year 2009, she had gone to her hometown. There her siblings tortured her physically and mentally and put her under house arrest. They did not want to give her any ancestral property and assets. She managed to free herself with the help of a friend an...

-

 The decision of couples to have no children by choice seems tough but is increasing in the modern world. Though society looks down at such couples, the availability of effective and safe contraception and old age support from non-family agencies has made things a bit easier for such decisions to be made.  Reasons for voluntary childlessness 1. Personal reasons such as not wanting responsibilities of a child.  2. The emphasis on career rather than reproduction 3. The lack of desire to forward one's family genes or line due to child abuse.  4. Anguish against existence in general. 5. Non-readiness to give up one's freetime and social time for children rearing 6. Happier to help others raise kids 7. Preferring a pet over a child 8. Not wanting to give up personal space and sharing it with a child.  9. Not happy with child-rearing things such as cleaning up mess, disturbing one's sleep etc. 10. Not particularly fond of children behavior. 11. In some situations, one...
