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...

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

-

 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 partner already has child/ren from a previous relationship and the other partner is happy with it. 

12. Some couples fear straining of their relationship on appearance of a child. 

13. Availability of birth control means and old age support. 

14. Worried about effect of pregnancy and breastfeeding on body of mother. 

15. Not wanting to have headache of the perfectionist attitude of others towards child-rearing practices.

17. One partner's health is not good. 

18. Already enough problems in life to reproduce.

19. Genetic reasons with risk of passing the bad genes to the offspring.

20. Lack of the parental instinct.

21. Lack of interest in sexual activity.

22. Other fears of reproduction and child that includes schooling, fees, financial hurdles etc. 

23. Uncertainty of one's parental skills.

24. Feeling that one is too young or too old for bearing a child. 

25. Economical reasons.

26. Women education and liberation has changed attitudes towards child bearing and rearing.

27. Good oldage care of a country

28. Invest time in socially useful activities. 

29. Belief that one can contribute more to society by not having kids of their own. 

30. The belief that one is selfish by reproducing kids.

31. Belief that world iz deteriorating and best to not have children.

32. Non-belief that kids means success.

33. Happy with the current social circle.

34. Belief in adoption rather than on having kids.

35. Some religious belief to go without kids.

36. Happy in a profession that involves children.

37. Counter human overpopulation. Believe in quality rather than quantity. 

38. Support of the belief of extinction of humankind.

There may be a fraction of people in this category who claim to be voluntarily childless but may actually happen to be infertile and projecting to the world that they are childless by choice. It is difficult to differentiate these from the true voluntarily childless couples, unless one accesses their gynecology and medical reports.

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...
