Educated daughters vs strong daughters: The difference

-
Image
Indian government, Indian law, and pro-female organizations in that land talk about increasing education of girls and women. I get very amused at this ineffective and useless propoganda that does nothing great to help the girl child and women. This is because most women even if educated are unable to continue work, career or do entrepreneurship because their parents or in-laws or community will not allow them. So it means educate them for namesake and then make them stagnant to do caring and cooking jobs at home. In short, educate them and again throw them in the same gutter or furnace as before. Education gives them no financial independence, no autonomy, no freedom to decide for self or children. Then what is the role of education for them? Nothing. I pity the parents who think that educating a daughter makes them finish their duty towards her. They continue to rear her as a cow or sheep. The net result is an educated women with no respect or autonomy and no space of her own. This ca...

-

Which are the flavors that will hit the market next? Sensient gives a list of flavors that would be the next favorite of people in the world! So what are these best flavors to hit the market soon? Her is the company's predictive analysis!

Food and flavors

Culinary industry uses a lot of flavors in its recipes. Besides, the non-food world also likes to have flavors and scents that give them pleasure. Sensient has analyzed and found out that there are some hot favorite flavors that would soon inspire the next wave of flavor innovation in food and beverage.

The company gathers the market trends from all its various global offices. It also has an in-house flavors marketing team and also does field excursions to get first-hand-information from people and those in the field. Then, it puts all of these together and reaches a predictive list of flavors that would next hit the market. 

At the end of 2019 and early 2020, the company reps went to Chicago and met various mixologists, mom and pop store managers, and various perfumeries to gather all the possible information and intel on which innovative ingredients and flavors would be the top in food and beverage industry.

The next-gen flavors

Keera Perumbala, marketing manager at Sensient Flavors and Extracts shares: 

"The flavors are pretty unique in nature, and that's by design because our customers already know what's trending today. So our goal here is to them something they can look forward to in a few years from now."

Roger Lane, another marketing manager of the company added: 

"It's less about the flavors themselves and really more about the trends that are affecting consumer behavior."

"We look across the globe and identify the drivers that are motivating consumers' behavior, and then choose flavors and use those as representations of that trend."

Which are the flavors that have made it to the top list?

The analysis has revealed that oud (a raw wood scent from a parasitic tree mold on agarwood), Strega (an Italian herbal liqueur), and floral flavor Ispahan (a classic Parisian dessert with rose, raspberries, and lychee) are in the top. The information on trending about oud came from the company's global office. The firm has a boundary-pushing approach to the identification of these flavors and scents. But this innovative appraoch means that these flavors may take a time to hit the market.

Roger said: 

"These flavors might not hit the market immediately or might not hit at all."

He added: 

"We always tell our customers if you want a top 10 list you can google it yourself. We try to be a little bit different and be very forward-thinking."

The company is going for packaged snacks with oud flavor. They also are trying to make kombucha that is strega-flavored and white chocolate with Ispahan flavor. Strega is more bitter and hence people associate it more with medicines. Keera said: 

"These three flavors are adventurous and conversation-worthy."

Why I decided to not attend Nepal Respiratory society conference 2025?

-
I am a super-specialist doctor. Hence, when I learned about the pulmonology conference in Nepal in September 2025, I thought of attending it since I was there for some other work.  But I ultimately decided against attending the Nepal Respiratory society conference. You will agree that 'the first impression is the last impression'. And my first impression about the conference and organizers, unfortunately, was bad.  Reasons: 1. Incomplete information on internet  No proper directions on internet. There was incomplete and wrong information.  2. No office When anyone makes a medical society or association, it needs to have a proper physical address, phone number, and email id. But this, Nepal respiratory society, lacked all of this.  3. Piecemeal information  Initially, the registration details had no details about registration for international delegates. Later, this was added. But again, there was improper info on it. At one place, the fees was 12k npr and a...

Dementia: problem, risks, effects, and management

I had met my classmate around 4 months back and informed her also about my mom's death. But in a recent email, she wrote to me that I had met her a couple of years back. She also enquired about my mom. Seeing her email, the first thought that came to my mind was: is she suffering from early dementia. I hope not. Maybe, she just forgot about the time that I had met her a few months back. Maybe because it was a hurried and surprise visit.  Nonetheless, dementia is on the rise. It affects people after 60 years of age. The increased life expectancy means that one will see more of such cases in the near future.  India has around 10 million dementia cases out of the world total of 57 million. This is a huge percentage. It affects not only an individual but the whole family. There is this individual who is physically okay but mentally absent. The person needs custodial care and it could turn out to be expensive. It is also emotionally disturbing to see your loved one in that state of...

Our planet, Earth is an important abode for every living being including plants and animals. Earth belongs to everyone. Humans are the superior living beings, but they are also the ones destroying nature and earth with their excessive deeds and misdeeds.  Climate change and global warming are also the consequence of wrong human activities in excess. Industrial revolution of the 19th century paved the way for this downhill process of environmental deterioration. It has reached a stage where excessive temperatures are giving rise to glacier and ice cap melting, sea water level rising, ecosystem disruption, weather crisis, and high rates of infections and allergies.  Also, read Dementia and its risks and management  Effective steps need to be taken promptly and on a large scale to mitigate this climate crisis and in the meantime, measures to adapt to the rising temperatures also are required to be started.  However, in all this, some people make such vague statements th...
