I cannot imagine a world without Wikipedia!

It helps me know a lot!
It is my `pedaraasi peddamma' - a mythical old woman knowledgeable in everything and willingly helps people (usually the prince in the folk tales) by sharing knowledge and information.

A proud moment

It was indeed a proud moment for me when I received the packets of `hope', the cluster bean and lady's finger seeds from none other than Shri Ch. Sreerama Murthy, the owner of Kurnool-based Sri Rama Seeds Corporation. This ever enthusiastic and entrepreneurial farmer oozes confidence and readiness to try new things.

Is there any one to try `farming' at least after seeing `Real' people like Sreerama Murthy?!! I still remember the film `nuvvistanante nenoddantaana'. Films are not only for entertainment! They are for inspiration as well!!

When we visualize a farmer we would probably see something like this!


But, I and I am sure many others would like to see a farmer like this.



Mainstreaming agriculture!! Agriculture as a `CULTURE', as a lifestyle.

Natural ionizers

...Salt Crystal Lamps


Salt crystal lamps release healthy negative ions from the surface as the lit bulb warms up the salt lamp, to cleanse and improve the quality and freshness of the air.
Our surroundings are dominated by the technology of so called 'conveniences' of computers, televisions, copy machines, printers, microwave ovens, air conditioners etc. These conveniences emit excessive amounts of positive ions into the air we breath, which can result in mental and physical exhaustion. Placing a salt crystal lamp near our computer helps to reduce fatigue and electromagnetic pollution created by all such equipment.

I read about these lamps in `eenadu' and had put this information together after some research on internet. In the wake of climatic change problems, we better turn to such solutions. `satakoti daridraalaki anantakoti upaayaalu'!!

I always think of the most eco-friendly way of celebrating a birthday, if not a wedding ...but a wedding anniversary could be. These lamps are an ecofriendly alternative for the usual gifts. It would be even more ideal ... when we want to say to someone..`get well soon'!

sayonara...Gudrun!

We miss you!

No one can ever fell a tree ... if they see this

I made time to post this at 5 a.m. or else I may lose track of it. It is still in the corner of my mind to hunt for THAT favorite cartoon of mine, the tree angrily uprooting a sky scraper in a mood of revenge. That was very hilarious. But this one is very heavy ...bleeding!


I found this picture and link at http://waffleanddaub.wordpress.com/:
The 2008 Ken Sprague Fund’s annual political cartoon competition was on the theme of of global warning and our threatened environment. This cartoon was one of the prize-winning entries, drawn by Tawan Chuntraskawvong of Thailand.
