Despite the cost, old-age homes appear attractive

http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/despite-the-cost-oldage-homes-appear-attractive/article8692039.ece
Clad in a dhoti, vest and shalya – all in white, vibhuti smeared on his forehead, Rajan* (68) is like any other senior citizen you would meet in the city. It is only when you hear the native of Ramanagara speak do you instantly perceive his army background. Having served in the defence throughout his life, he came to Bengaluru after retirement, hoping for a peaceful life with his son and daughter-in-law. But that was not to be.
"Both of them are busy with work. Due to my failing health, I needed someone to help me with bathing, medication, food, etc and they did not have time for that," he said.
Mr. Rajan decided that it would be best for both him as well as his son's family if he shifted to a home for the aged.
His son agreed, even taking care of the expenditure – a whopping Rs. 18,000 per month.
"The home takes care of my medical needs, provides good food and has helped me deal with loneliness. I don't feel alone anymore as there are many others like me here who have to live away from their family due to different circumstances. I also feel secure here due to the community-style lifestyle," says Mr. Rajan.
Not many senior citizens are willing to take the route he took for reasons ranging from financial implications to unwillingness to surrender to what is often viewed as the 'last resort'. But those who have say they feel safer and less lonely.
Sarita* (60) shifted to a similar facility after a few visits for treatment for schizophrenia, though her family lives in the same city. Her family shrugged off its responsibility when she was diagnosed with the disease.
"The home takes care of me, provides me with a comfortable place to stay and fulfils all my medical requirements. In the light of the increasing number of cases of abandonment and violence against the elderly, this old age home is almost like a safe haven," she says.
Though most such homes come at a cost, a few lodge the elderly, most of who are neglected or abandoned, for free.
Apart from these, well-heeled senior citizens are being beckoned by an increasing number of 'retirement homes' that promise various facilities, including medical assistance.

[www.keralites.net] Amla Ruia A rich matriarch’s quest to quell the thirst of people turns into a mission

Amla Ruia A rich matriarch's quest to quell the thirst of people turns into a mission

The otherwise charitable woman suddenly realised that sending money and clothing to victims of disasters was not a permanent solution. She set out of her wealthy home with a mission to create water sources and today her Aakar Charitable Trust has built 350 check dams, impacting 400 villages.

Ruia has involved the community in the successful initiative and makes them contribute 20 per cent of the cost of a check dam. Her trust funds the balance 80 per cent money. "The villagers take ownership of the dams when they invest the money. It benefits them for generations if maintained properly," says Ruia, who is now 73-years old.

Her check dams have brought back prosperity to the villages. Farmers are growing three crops a year, cultivable land in the villages has increased, farm workers who migrated to cities in search of jobs have returned home, women have been spared the drudgery of finding water, girls have started attending schools, and health and hygiene levels in the villages has improved.

Carrot Juice for high cholesterol

Tatiana Zanin - Nutritionist

The carrot provides numerous health benefits, it is rich in vitamins and minerals and its main benefit the cleanser and tonic effect it has on the liver. When the carrot juice is taken at least three times a week, helps the liver to remove excess bile and fat, and when the level of fat is reduced, also reduces cholesterol.

In addition, to improve the fight against high cholesterol is very important to avoid eating too much fatty or fried foods, and processed foods, as they contain a lot of fat that contributes to the increase in bad cholesterol. Drinking about 2 liters of water per day and physical activity to at least 3 times a week, also help to reduce cholesterol and improve the effects of the juice.

Ingredients

4 carrots

1 lemon juice

1 tablespoon (tea) sugar

Method of preparation

To prepare this home remedy just beat all ingredients in a blender and strain to follow.

If you drink more than 5 cups of juice per week, you'll probably notice that the skin will have an orange tone.

But do not fear, it is just toxins being eliminated from your body.

To reduce this effect, simply reduce the dose ingested juice.

13 Things You Can Do With Milk!

Milk is a basic ingredient in any household, but it's a waste to use it just for drinking, when you can put it into many more uses that will make your life easier while also saving you money!

Here are 13 examples of things you can do with milk besides drinking it!

	Improve the taste of fish To make the frozen fish much yummier, soak it in a bowl of milk until it is completely thawed, and only then cook it. The taste will be MUCH improved!
	Soften your skin Prepare a bath, then fill half of it with milk. Sounds very bizarre, but if you soak in it for about 30 minutes, your skin will be as smooth as a baby's bottom!
	Relieve bug bites Prepare a solution of milk, water and salt (no more than 2 spoons of salt) and smear on the place of the bite. It will sting at first and then stop stinging all together!
	Remove ink stains Scrub the stain on your cloths with a mixture of milk and lemon juice. Leave overnight and then put in the wash!
	Shine your leather shoes Take a clean cloth and soak it in milk, then wipe your leather shoes carefully to get an immediate shine. This can be used for other leather products as well!
	Make your own yogurt Mix one glass of milk with 1 table spoon of white vinegar or lemon juice.
	Shine your silverware Soak silverware in a bowl of sour milk for 30 minutes. Then wash with hot water and soap and dry with a soft cloth to get silverware that shines like new!
	Improve the taste of corn Pour milk and water in equal amount into a pot and heat. Put in the corn and then bring to a boil - and enjoy the rich taste! I DO THIS AND ADD SOME SUGAR ALSO
	For better irrigation Fill a funnel with milk and water in a ratio of 1 part milk for 4 parts of water, and use it to bring new life to your plants.
	Making your furniture shine Use a solution of milk and lemon juice and use a soft cloth to shine your furniture, to get that great shining gleam!
	Clean your house plants Soak a clean cloth in skimmed milk to remove dust and stains from your house plants. Wipe the leaves with the cloth and then use a clean cloth to wipe away the milk and dry the leaves.
	Fix cracked porcelain and China dishes Put the cracked tools in a big pot. Fill the pot with 2 cups (or more) of milk and heat on a low fire for an hour. Let it cool and wash it. This will wash away the signs of the crack. Best to use after gluing.
	Relieve sun burns Mix milk with a bit of water and smear on the painful area. For burns that cover large areas, a good idea is to soak your clothes in the mixture and wear them for ongoing relief and faster healing of the skin.

[www.keralites.net] Baidnath Kumar Once a Child Labourer, Ranchi Man Has Rescued 4000 Women & Kids From Trafficking!

Baidnath Kumar Once a Child Labourer, Ranchi Man Has Rescued 4000 Women & Kids From Trafficking!

Baidhnath Kumar poses as a customer and even transfers money to kingpins to gain their trust. Read on to know how the braveheart conducts raids in life-threatening situations

The stage was set. And the prey was within reach. A call from an informer confirmed that he had arrived with promises of a better life. Baidnath Kumar smiled in anticipation as he closed the net that he had been weaving for five years around the monster. Within minutes of tipping the police, Kumar saw in satisfaction as Panna Lal Mahto accused of selling 5000 children, mostly tribal girls from Jharkhand, was arrested.

Helping the authorities bringing such fiends to justice is what Kumar has dedicated his life to. For the last 10 odd years, the crusader has been rescuing women and children and so far, he has rescued more than four thousand victims.

Having been physically abused and forced to work for the better part of childhood, Kumar became that helping hand that he was not offered.
