209 Seconds videoThat Will Make You Question Your Entire Existence.
Every time you get upset about something small, just remember this.

Our Solar system is insignificant in the entire Cosmos, We are insignificant 
on earth, yet  Our EGO makes us think  we are the center of the universe .
After watching this our EGO will drop a wee bit atleast.

[www.keralites.net] Harish Dhandev He Left A Govt Job & Now Makes 2 Crores Annually By Farming World Class Aloe Vera :-

 

Harish Dhandev He Left A Govt Job & Now Makes 2 Crores Annually By Farming World Class Aloe Vera 


  

Harish's journey from civil engineering to becoming a farmer began when he went to visit an agricultural expo held in Delhi. A junior engineer with the Jaisalmer Municipal Council, Harish was motivated to take up farming and began contemplating growing crops in his farm, back home. The farming background of his family also helped and he quit his job to cultivate aloe-vera and other crops on his 120-acre farmland. 


Today, Harish earns an annual turnover of around Rs 1.5 crore to Rs 2 crore.

 

Experts at Patanjali, an Indian FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) company, were particularly impressed with the quality of aloe vera grown in his farm and ordered it in bulk. His aloe vera also is also in high demand in the international market including Brazil, Hong Kong, and America. What began as an initial effort of farming with 80,000 saplings of aloe vera, has today reached an impressive number of seven lakh saplings. 


The growing demand of his aloe vera can be assessed by the fact that in the last four months, he has sent 125-150 tonnes of processed aloe vera pulp to Patanjali factories in Haridwar.

 

Harish's story is an example that if more and more educated youth turn to farming, they sure can change the face of agriculture in India.

[www.keralites.net] 7 Obvious Signs That It's Time To Schedule An Appointment And Get Your Thyroid Checked

 

Thyroid disorders and complications are more common than you realise, affecting millions of people every year. It's also a very common hereditary issue, passed down from generation to generation.

1. Fluctuating weight

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Thyroid controls your metabolism, so if there's a problem with your thyroid, it's obviously going to affect your weight. People with hyperactive thyroid tend to lose weight and people with hypoactive thyroids experience weight gain. But there are many bodily factors that influence weight; thyroid is just one of them.

2. Hair loss

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Hair thinning or hair loss is the other major sign that you might be suffering from thyroid problems. A hyperactive and even hypoactive thyroid can affect your hair growth or loss. The common phenomenon is that the thinning of hair is quite uniform in most cases but can be different for everyone.

3. Fluctuation in energy levels

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

If you feel lethargic and drained out quite often it certainly not a good sign. It seriously doesn't matter how much you sleep or take rest, blame it on your hypoactive thyroid. In this condition staying active can be a serious struggle and even normal everyday task seem too much. But if you have hyperactive thyroid then you can be a little hyper, jittery and even fidgety.

4. Change in appetite

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

If you've got an under-active thyroid, your energy levels can drop considerably, so you need to consume fewer calories to function. Your appetite goes down and you might eat less. Paradoxically, since your body is converting fewer calories into energy, you can actually gain weight. At the opposite end of the spectrum, a hyperactive thyroid can increase your metabolism, leading to abrupt weight loss.

5. Menstrual Problems

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Irregular periods can also be the sign that you are suffering from thyroid. If you notice your periods are very long or short, heavy or light or extremely irregular then it's time for you to consult your doctor or get your thyroid checked.

6. Feeling too hot or too cold

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

If your body is producing too much thyroid hormone, your temperature can rise, leaving you feeling frequently warm. Similarly, an under-active thyroid can make you feel colder. It can often take just a small change in the hormones produced to have a major impact.

7. Muscle aches and pains

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

If you often feel muscle weakness, tenderness, stiffness and swelling quite often, it can be the sign of Hypothyroidism. It is advisable to immediately contact your doctor in such condition and start the medication as soon as possible.

[www.keralites.net] Haunting Pictures Of Kids Around The World And Their Bedrooms

 

We adults often take many things for granted. No matter how cliché the half empty-half full glass theory is, it does explain a very important lesson in life – one should always be content with what we have. Unfortunately, most of us, including me, do not follow this in life. We crib, whine and crave for things that we don't possess. While there is nothing wrong with having desires, we somehow fail to notice the other side of the coin.

Inequality was, is and will always exist in the world that we live in and no one can do anything about it. However, spreading awareness about the same is something one should encourage. Enter James Collison, a Kenyan-born, England-raised, Venice-based photographer, who has travelled the world to capture snapshots of children and their bedrooms. Sounds bizarre, right? But hang on, your views will change once you go through his pictures.

This eye-opening series is called 'Where Children Sleep' and it features bedrooms of poverty-stricken kids. These social classes will both disturb and shock you at the same times. And that's not the only catch here - they are not just nameless and identity-less pictures of kids and their bedrooms - they have names and some very shocking stories to tell.

Read on.

13. Rinku Singh, Dinesh Patel, Uttar Pradesh, India

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Rinku and Dinesh aren't a part of James Collison series but the two boys do have an inspiring story to tell. Hailing from extremely poverty-stricken families, this duo caught the eye of struggling sports agent J.B. Bernstein. While Singh is the son of a truck driver and shared a single room with eight other siblings, Patel was brought up by his grandmother in Khanpur because his parents were too poor to afford to raise him. They got an opportunity to star in Bernstein's reality TV show. This show was about training young kids in baseball. Singh emerged as a winner while Patel was announced as a not-to-miss talent. After this show the duo entered the professional baseball scene in the US and the rest as they is history.

And then there are some extremely privileged kids like these:

Anant Ambani, 21, Mumbai, India
