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...

The WHO-led team visits Wuhan wet market for investigation of the origin of coronavirus!

-

 The origin of coronavirus is being investigated by a WHO-led team. Experts visited the Huanan market on Sunday 31 January 2021 as part of their investigation to get the truth about how coronavirus pandemic started. The market was heavily barricaded for the visit. 

The official visit of Huanan market in Wuhan

Huanan market in Wuhan is considered the start point of the coronavirus pandemic that engulfed the world. It is a wholesale seafood wet market situated in China in Wuhan. WHO-led experts on an investigation trial visited this market amidst tight security. There was a high blue fence placed around the market. Additional barricades were outside this fence. The experts arrived and stayed for an hour. Later, they left in a convoy. They did not give any press conference to the gathered journalists.

Experts and details of their China visit

The experts arrived in China around 2 weeks back and were in self-isolation before they commenced their investigation. They have done trips of markets, hospitals, and an exhibition that revealed how Wuhan successfully controlled the viral spread with 76 days of lockdown. The population of Wuhan is around 11 million. One of the team members Peter Daszak tweeted:

"Very important site visits today - a wholesale market first & Huanan Seafood Market just now. Very informative & critical for our joint teams to understand the epidemiology of COVID as it started to spread at the end of 2019,"

But China has restricted the movement and meeting of the team members. They cannot visit or talk to community members due to health reasons. 

The trip itinerary

There has been no release of any trip itinerary. But the members would be there for 2 weeks. Also journalists have not been allowed near the team. The market is still closed since the start of 2020. It was originally a bustling place selling vegetables, meat, and seafood. But now it is a thing of the past. It stands as a memory of the pandemic and an epicenter of it. 4 cases of mysterious pneumonia were linked to this market and the government shut it on 31 December 2019. By end of January 2020, lockdown began in Wuhan. 

The verbal fight between China and the USA over coronavirus origin and access concerns delayed the probe. Now that it has started, the world is eagerly waiting for the results!!!

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

-
Image
 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...

Voluntary childlessness is on the rise in the world! What are the reasons for it?

-
Image
 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...
