The Fruits That Aid Your Health

Eating fruit is important for our overall health and wellbeing. They provide us with a wealth of vitamins and help improve our digestion. From a nutritional standpoint, fruits are particularly great sources of fiber, potassium, vitamin C and folate. They help prevent disease, lower rates of heart disease and stroke, and reduce high blood pressure. So, be sure to save this list because, as you're about to see, the solution to most of our health problems can be solved with a simple fruit snack.

> A WEDDING IN RUSSIA
> ( An abridged, real-lfe short story by Sudha Murthy, w/o Mr
> Narayan Murthy of Infosys)
>
> A wedding is a great event in everyone's life. In India, it is done
> with a great deal of ceremony. In our films, a large number of
> stories are based upon weddings. The amount of money spent sometimes
> constitutes the entire life's savings of a person. It is an occasion
> where young boys get to meet young girls, old people talk of their
> ailments and women exhibit their finest jewellery and silk saris.
>
> Recently I was in Moscow, Russia. Moscow city has many war memorials.
> Russia has won three great wars in its history, which are a source of
> pride to them. They have built war memorials and erected many statues
> of the generals who were responsible for the victories. The first war
> was between Peter the Great and Sweden. The second war was between
> Tsar Alexander and Napoleon of France. The third one was against
> Hitler in World War-2 in 1945.
>
> There is a huge park in Moscow, known as Peace Park. In the middle of
> this Peace Park there is a large monument. There is a pillar, and on
> the pillar the different battles fought by Russia have been mentioned
> along with dates and places. The park has beautiful fountains. In the
> summer, flowers of many colours bloom and the place is a feast for
> the eyes. In the night it is decorated with lights. Every Russian is
> proud of this park and it is a spot visited by all tourists.
>
> The day I went to the park was Sunday. It was drizzling and cold,
> though it was summer. I was standing under an umbrella and enjoying
> the beauty. Suddenly, my eyes fell on a young couple. It was apparent
> that they had just got married. The girl was in her mid-twenties,
> slim and blond hair and blue eyes. She was very beautiful. The boy
> was almost the same age and very handsome. He was in a military
> uniform. The bride was wearing a white satin dress, decorated with
> pearls and pretty laces. It was very long so two young girls were
> standing behind her holding up the ends of the gown, so it should not
> be dirtied. One young boy was holding an umbrella over their heads so
> that they should not get drenched. The girl was holding a bouquet and
> the two were standing with their arms linked. It was a beautiful
> sight. I started wondering why they had come to this park in this
> rain soon after getting married. They could have surely gone to a
> merrier place. I watched as they walked together to the dias near the
> memorial, kept the bouquet, bowed their heads in silence and slowly
> walked back.
>
> By now I was very curious to know what was going on. There was an old
> man standing with them. He looked at me, my sari and asked, 'Are you
> Indian?'. I replied, 'Yes, I am an Indian.' Since we were chatting
> quite amicably now, I decided to use the opportunity to ask some questions.
>
> ' How come you know English?'
> ' Oh I worked abroad'
>
> ' Will you tell me why that young couple visited the war memorial on
> their wedding day?'
>
> ' Oh, that is the custom in Russia. The wedding takes place normally
> on a Saturday or a Sunday. Irrespective of the season, after signing
> the register at the marriage office, married couple must visit the
> important national monuments near by. Every boy in this country has
> to serve in the military for a couple of years at least. Regardless
> of his position, he must wear his service uniform for the wedding.'
>
> 'Why is that?'
>
> 'This is a mark of gratitude. Our forefathers have given their lives
> in various wars Russia has fought. Some of them we won, and some we
> lost, but their sacrifice was always for the country. The newly
> married couple needs to remember they are living in a peaceful,
> independent Russia because of their ancestors' sacrifices. They must
> ask for their blessings. Love for the country is more important than
> wedding celebrations. We elders insist on continuing with this
> tradition whether it be in Moscow, St.Petersburg or any other part of
> Russia. On the wedding day they have to visit the nearest war memorial.'
> This set me wondering about what we teach our children. Do we Indians
> have the courtesy to remember our martyrs on the most important day
> of our lives? We are busy shopping for saris, buying jewellery and
> preparing elaborate menus and partying in discos.
>
> My eyes filled with tears at the thought and I wished we could learn
> a lesson from the Russians.
