And always bless them who seek helpवक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ। निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥Oh, Lord Ganesha with a twisted trunk and a majestic huge body, with effulgence equivalent to billions of Suns, I ask thee to grant me freedom from all obstacles and bless me, so that all my efforts may successfully manifest.

You can feel the difference in tasteWhile coming from the native this time, I brought two comb (hands) of curry bananas as the entire bunch was ready to be served and it was very well grown this time. Since that day, we are having plain banana fries at home at kid's demand - the very first day they ate this, they could feel the difference in taste - that's the reality of pesticide free vegetable. They usually don't like to eat the banana fries on a regular basis, but this is so tasty that, they want to eat it everyday, till its over. WE kept it outside, instead of a freezer and it remains fresh, not sure, because of being organic.

Did the CEO of Google made this decision because people in India use the Family plan even though they don't belong to the same family ?Just few months back, I had taken the YouTube Premium Membership for the family and it used to cost ₹189 monthly for six members. And now they have increased that to ₹299 - a straight 58% jump and the reason for that ?

For them it may be only a fraction, but for us its always 100%Last week we ran from pillar to post to find out the right expert to guide on father's health condition, and subsequent treatment plan. And after consulting to several experts, we have found out that, every expert has their own way of diagnosis and prescribe different medicines, based on what they feel is right. And some even go to the extent of blunder and prescribe medicines that even can have fatal consequences, but there is no way you can hold them accountable. Dad went through such a blunder, thanks to our common sense to save him and bring back to normalcy. The doctor had prescribed some medicines that made him severe dehydrate and cough, and fell unconscious, after finishing his lunch. This happened after taking the new medicines for just two days, from my last post. He even did not told us to monitor him but I was cautious to ask Mom to look after him every now and then, as there were some new medicines. We stopped the new medicines, and it took 3 days to bring him back to normalcy, but his fear level increased. When I went back to the hospital and asked the Doctor telling him that his new medicines has caused such effect, his immediate response was that, it could have been a brain stroke, so you need to consult Neurology immediately - if you believe such crap , then you will traverse that wrong path again. So we decided to go to different experts and seek their opinion to choose the right path.

August Hive Garden JournalIt has been long time since I wrote my last garden journal and the reason for that is it's very difficult to grow anything in harsh summer. In fact I tried this year, but all the plants died as I wrote in this post, so after that I thought to restart after the summer. However, seeing those pots empty every day makes me feel bad, as I go to get flowers from our garden. So in mid June, I thought I would put some ladies finger seeds in few big pots instead of leaving them idle. And then I was behind one person in a private nursery of a big institution to share some all seasoned inca, and after many attempts, he finally agreed to give me some. They have cameras everywhere, so he just asked me to sit inside his office and got his boy to get those stems in a packet that won't reveal them. So I organized all the pots, cleaned the entire area, and put those stems in several pots.
