What is a Tsunami
A tsunami is a very long-wavelength wave of water that is generated by sudden displacement of the seafloor or disruption of any body of standing water. Tsunami are sometimes called "seismic sea waves", although, as we will see, they can be generated by mechanisms other than earthquakes. Tsunami have also been called "tidal waves", but this term should not be used because they are not in any way related to the tides of the Earth. Because tsumani occur suddenly, often without warning, they are extremely dangerous to coastal communities.
Physical Characteristics of Tsumani
All types of waves, including tsumani, have a wavelength, a wave height, an amplitude, a frequency or period, and a velocity.
* Wavelength is defined as the distance between two identical points on a wave (i.e. between wave crests or wave troughs). Normal ocean waves have wavelengths of about 100 meters. Tsumani have much longer wavelengths, usually measured in kilometers and up to 200 kilometers.
* Wave height refers to the distance between the trough of the wave and the crest or peak of the wave.
* Wave amplitude - refers to the height of the wave above the still water line, usually this is equal to 1/2 the wave height. Tsumani can have variable wave height and amplitude that depends on water depth as we shall see in a moment
* Wave frequency or period - is the amount of time it takes for one full wavelength to pass a stationary point.
* Wave velocity is the speed of the wave. Velocities of normal ocean waves are about 90 km/hr while tsumani have velocities up to 950 km/hr (about as fast as jet airplanes), and thus move much more rapidly across ocean basins. The velocity of any wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the wave period.
V = l (lamda)/P
Tsumani are characterized as shallow-water waves. These are different from the waves most of us have observed on a the beach, which are caused by the wind blowing across the ocean's surface. Wind-generated waves usually have period (time between two successive waves) of five to twenty seconds and a wavelength of 100 to 200 meters. A tsunami can have a period in the range of ten minutes to two hours and wavelengths greater than 500 km. A wave is characterized as a shallow-water wave when the ratio of the water depth and wavelength is very small. The velocity of a shallow-water wave is also equal to the square root of the product of the acceleration of gravity, g, (980cm/sec/sec) and the depth of the water, d.
V=square rootof(g )* d
The rate at which a wave loses its energy is inversely related to its wavelength. Since a tsunami has a very large wavelength, it will lose little energy as it propagates. Thus, in very deep water, a tsunami will travel at high speeds with little loss of energy. For example, when the ocean is 6100 m deep, a tsunami will travel about 890 km/hr, and thus can travel across the Pacific Ocean in less than one day.
As a tsunami leaves the deep water of the open sea and arrives at the shallow waters near the coast, it undergoes a transformation. Since the velocity of the tsunami is also related to the water depth, as the depth of the water decreases, the velocity of the tsunami decreases. The change of total energy of the tsunami, however, remains constant.
Furthermore, the period of the wave remains the same, and thus more water is forced between the wave crests causing the height of the wave to increase. Because of this "shoaling" effect, a tsunami that was imperceptible in deep water may grow to have wave heights of several meters or more.
If the trough of the tsunami wave reaches the coast first, this causes a phenomenon called drawdown, where it appears that sea level has dropped considerably. Drawdown is followed immediately by the crest of the wave which can catch people observing the drawdown off guard. When the crest of the wave hits, sea level rises (called run-up). Run-up is usually expressed in meters above normal high tide. Run-ups from the same tsunami can be variable because of the influence of the shapes of coastlines. One coastal area may see no damaging wave activity while in another area destructive waves can be large and violent. The flooding of an area can extend inland by 300 m or more, covering large areas of land with water and debris. Flooding tsunami waves tend to carry loose objects and people out to sea when they retreat. Tsumani may reach a maximum vertical height onshore above sea level, called a run-up height, of 30 meters. A notable exception is the landslide generated tsunami in Lituya Bay, Alaska in 1958 which produced a 60 meter high wave.
Because the wavelengths and velocities of tsumani are so large, the period of such waves is also large, and larger than normal ocean waves. Thus it may take several hours for successive crests to reach the shore. (For a tsunami with a wavelength of 200 km traveling at 750 km/hr, the wave period is about 16 minutes). Thus people are not safe after the passage of the first large wave, but must wait several hours for all waves to pass. The first wave may not be the largest in the series of waves. For example, in several different recent tsumani the first, third, and fifth waves were the largest.
How Tsumani are Generated
There is an average of two destructive tsumani per year in the Pacific basin. Pacific wide tsumani are a rare phenomenon, occurring every 10 - 12 years on the average. Most of these tsumani are generated by earthquakes that cause displacement of the seafloor, but, as we shall see, tsumani can be generated by volcanic eruptions, landslides, underwater explosions, and meteorite impacts.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes cause tsumani by causing a disturbance of the seafloor. Thus, earthquakes that occur along coastlines or anywhere beneath the oceans can generate tsumani. The size of the tsunami is usually related to the size of the earthquake, with larger tsumani generated by larger earthquakes. But the sense of displacement is also important. Tsumani are generally only formed when an earthquake causes vertical displacement of the seafloor. The 1906 earthquake near San Francisco California had a Richter Magnitude of about 7.1, yet no tsunami was generated because the motion on the fault was strike-slip motion with no vertical displacement. Thus, tsumani only occur if the fault generating the earthquake has normal or reverse displacement. Because of this, most tsumani are generated by earthquakes that occur along the subduction boundaries of plates, along the oceanic trenches. Since the Pacific Ocean is surrounded by plate boundaries of this type, tsumani are frequently generated by earthquakes around the margins of the Pacific Ocean.
Examples of Tsumani generated by Earthquakes
* April 1, 1946 - A magnitude 7.3 earthquake occurred near Unimak Island in the Aleutian Islands west of Alaska, near the Alaska Trench. Sediment accumulating in the trench slumped into the trench and generated a tsunami. A lighthouse at Scotch Gap built of steel reinforced concrete was located on shore at an elevation of 14 m above mean low water. The first wave of the tsunami hit the Scotch Gap area 20 minutes after the earthquake, had a run-up 30 m and completely destroyed the lighthouse. 4.5 hours later the same tsunami reached the Hawaiian Islands after traveling at an average speed of 659 km/hr. As it approached the city of Hilo on the Big Island, it slowed to about 47 km/hr (note that even the fastest human cannot run faster than about 35 km/hr) and had a run-up of 18 m above normal high tide. It killed 159 people (90 in Hilo) and caused $25 million in property damage.
* May 22, 1960 - A magnitude 8.6 earthquake occurred along the subduction zone off South America. Because the population of Chile is familiar with earthquakes and potential tsumani, most people along the coast moved to higher ground. 15 minutes after the earthquake, a tsunami with a run-up of 4.5 m hit the coast. The first wave then retreated, dragging broken houses and boats back into the ocean. Many people saw this smooth retreat of the sea as a sign they could ride their boats out to sea and recover some of the property swept away by the first wave. But, about 1 hour later, the second wave traveling at a velocity of 166 km/hr crashed in with a run-up of 8 m. This wave crushed boats along the coast and destroyed coastal buildings. This was followed by a third wave traveling at only 83 km/hr that crashed in later with a run-up of 11 m, destroying all that was left of coastal villages. The resulting causalities listed 909 dead with 834 missing. In Hawaii, a tsunami warning system was in place and the tsunami was expected to arrive at 9:57 AM. It hit at 9:58 AM and 61 people died, mostly sightseers that wanted to watch the wave roll in at close range (obviously they were too close). The tsunami continued across the Pacific Ocean, eventually reaching Japan where it killed an additional 185 people.

* September 2, 1992 - A magnitude 7 earthquake off the coast of Nicaragua in Central America occurred along the subduction zone below the Middle America Trench. The earthquake was barely felt by the residents of Nicaragua and was somewhat unusual. A 100 km-long segment of the oceanic lithosphere moved 1 m further below the over riding plate over a period of two minutes. Much energy was released but the ground did not shake very much. Seawater apparently absorbed some of the energy and sent a tsunami onto the coast. Residents had little warning, 150 people died and 13,000 people were left homeless.
Volcanic Eruptions
Volcanoes that occur along coastal zones, like in Japan and island arcs throughout the world, can cause several effects that might generate a tsunami. Explosive eruptions can rapidly emplace pyroclastic flows into the water, landslides and debris avalanches produced by eruptions can rapidly move into water, and collapse of volcanoes to form calderas can suddenly displace the water.
The eruption of Krakatau in the Straights of Sunda, between Java and Sumatra, in 1883 generated at least three tsumani that killed 36,417 people. It is still uncertain exactly what caused the tsumani, but it is known that several events that occurred during the eruption could have caused such tsumani.
* A large Plinian eruption column blasted pumice and ash up to 40 km into the atmosphere. This Plinian eruption column likely collapsed several times to produce pyroclastic flows, any of which could have generated a tsunami.
* A loud explosive blast was heard as far away as Australia. This blast was likely caused by a phreatic explosion that occurred as a result of seawater coming in contact with the magma. The explosion could have generated at least one of the tsumani.
* At some point during the eruption a caldera formed by collapse of the volcanic island. Areas that were once more than 300 m above sea level were found 300 m below sea level after the eruption. The sudden collapse of the volcano to form this caldera could have caused one or more tsumani.
* Earthquakes were felt throughout the eruption. Any one of these submarine earthquakes could have caused a tsunami.
One of the tsumani had a run-up of about 40 m above normal sea level. A large block of coral weighing about 600 tons was ripped off the seafloor and deposited 100 m inland. One ship was carried 2.5 km inland and was left 24 meters above sea level, with all of its crew swept into the ocean.
Landslides
Landslides moving into oceans, bays, or lakes can also generate tsumani. Most such landslides are generated by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. As previously mentioned, a large landslide or debris avalanche fell into Lituya Bay, Alaska in 1958 causing a wave with a run-up of about 60 m as measured by a zone completely stripped of vegetation.
Underwater Explosions
Nuclear testing by the United States in the Marshall Islands in the 1940s and 1950s generated tsumani.
Meteorite Impacts
While no historic examples of meteorite impacts are known to have produced a tsunami, the apparent impact of a meteorite at the end of the Cretaceous Period, about 65 million years ago near the tip of what is now the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, produced tsumani that left deposits all along the Gulf coast of Mexico and the United States.
Mitigation of Risks and Hazards
The main damage from tsumani comes from the destructive nature of the waves themselves. Secondary effects include the debris acting as projectiles which then run into other objects, erosion that can undermine the foundations of structures built along coastlines, and fires that result from disruption of gas and electrical lines. Tertiary effects include loss of crops and water and electrical systems which can lead to famine and disease.
Within the last century there have been 94 destructive tsumani which have resulted in 51,000 deaths. Despite the fact that tsunami warning systems have been in place since 1950, deaths still result from tsumani, especially when the source of the earthquake is so close to a coast that there is little time for a warning, or when people do not heed the warning or follow instructions associated with the warning.
Prediction and Early Warning
For areas located at great distances from earthquakes that could potentially generate a tsunami there is usually plenty of time for warnings to be sent and coastal areas evacuated, even though tsumani travel at high velocities across the oceans. Hawaii is good example of an area located far from most of the sources of tsumani, where early warning is possible and has saved lives. For earthquakes occurring anywhere on the subduction margins of the Pacific Ocean there is a minimum of 4 hours of warning before a tsunami would strike any of the Hawaiian Islands.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has set up a Pacific warning system for areas in the Pacific Ocean, called the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. It consists of an international network of seismographic stations, and tidal stations around the Pacific basin that can all send information via satellite to the Center located in Hawaii. When an earthquake occurs somewhere in the region, the Center immediately begins to analyze the data looking for signs that the earthquake could have generated a tsunami. The tidal stations are also monitored, and if a tsunami is detected, a warning is sent out to all areas on the Pacific coast. It takes at least 1 hour to assimilate all of the information and issue a warning. Thus for an average velocity of a tsunami of 750 km/hr, the regional system can provide a warning sufficient for adequate evacuation of coastal areas within 750 km of the earthquake.
In order to be able to issue warnings about tsumani generated within 100 to 750 km of an earthquake, several regional warning centers have been set up in areas prone to tsunami generating earthquakes. These include centers in Japan, Kamchatka, Alaska, Hawaii, French Polynesia, and Chile.
These systems have been very successful at saving lives. For example, before the Japanese warning system was established, 14 tsumani killed over 6000 people in Japan. Since the establishment of the warning system 20 tsumani have killed 215 people in Japan.
Like all warning systems, the effectiveness of tsunami early warning depends strongly on local authority's ability to determine that their is a danger, their ability to disseminate the information to those potentially affected, and on the education of the public to heed the warnings and remove themselves from the area.
Tsunami Safety Rules
In case you are ever in an area where there is a threat of tsunami, I have downloaded the following tsunami safety rules from the West Coast & Alaska Tsunami Warning Center Home Page:
http://wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov
* A strong earthquake felt in a low-lying coastal area is a natural warning of possible, immediate danger. Keep calm and quickly move to higher ground away from the coast.
* All large earthquakes do not cause tsumani, but many do. If the quake is located near or directly under the ocean, the probability of a tsunami increases. When you hear that an earthquake has occurred in the ocean or coastline regions, prepare for a tsunami emergency.
* Tsumani can occur at any time, day or night. They can travel up rivers and streams that lead to the ocean.
* A tsunami is not a single wave, but a series of waves. Stay out of danger until an "ALL CLEAR" is issued by a competent authority.
* Approaching tsumani are sometimes heralded by noticeable rise or fall of coastal waters. This is nature's tsunami warning and should be heeded.
* A small tsunami at one beach can be a giant a few miles away. Do not let modest size of one make you lose respect for all.
* Sooner or later, tsumani visit every coastline in the Pacific. All tsumani - like hurricanes - are potentially dangerous even though they may not damage every coastline they strike.
* Never go down to the beach to watch for a tsunami! WHEN YOU CAN SEE THE WAVE YOU ARE TOO CLOSE TO ESCAPE. Tsumani can move faster than a person can run!
* During a tsunami emergency, your local emergency management office, police, fire and other emergency organizations will try to save your life. Give them your fullest cooperation.
* Homes and other buildings located in low lying coastal areas are not safe. Do NOT stay in such buildings if there is a tsunami warning.
* The upper floors of high, multi-story, reinforced concrete hotels can provide refuge if there is no time to quickly move inland or to higher ground.
* If you are on a boat or ship and there is time, move your vessel to deeper water (at least 100 fathoms). If it is the case that there is concurrent severe weather, it may safer to leave the boat at the pier and physically move to higher ground.
* Damaging wave activity and unpredictable currents can effect harbor conditions for a period of time after the tsunami's initial impact. Be sure conditions are safe before you return your boat or ship to the harbor.
* Stay tuned to your local radio, marine radio, NOAA Weather Radio, or television stations during a tsunami emergency - bulletins issued through your local emergency management office and National Weather Service offices can save your life.

Nuclear War
Nuclear War
During the Cold War, if USA launched a nuke-loaded missile, Soviet satellites would inform the Sovietarmy in 3 seconds and in less than 45 seconds Soviet counter-missiles would be on their way. Recent studies commissioned by US department of Defense included one on nuclear war between India andPakistan.
This was their scenario.................
The Pakistan army decides to launch a nuke-missile towards India.They don't need any permission from their government, and promptly order the countdowns.
Indian technology is highly advanced. In less than 8 seconds, Indian army detects the Pak countdownand decides to launch a missile in retribution.
But they need permission from the Government of India. They submit their request to the Indian President. The President forwards it to the Cabinet.The Prime Minister calls an emergency Lok Sabha session.The LS meets, but due to several walkouts and severe protests by the opposition, it gets adjourned indefinitely.The President asks for a quick decision.
In the mean time, the Pak missile failed to take off due to technical failure. Their attempts for a relaunch are still on.
Just then the Indian ruling party is reduced to a minority because a party that was giving outside support withdraws it. The President asks the PM to prove his majority within a week. As the ruling party fails to win the confidence vote, a caretaker government is installed.
The caretaker PM decides to permit the armed forces to launch a nuclear missile. But the Election Commission says that a caretaker government can not take such a decision because elections are at hand.
A Public Interest Litigation is filed in the Supreme Court alleging misuse of power by the Election Commission.The Supreme Court comes to the rescue of the PM, and says the acting PM is authorized to take this decision in view of the emergency facing the nation.
Just then one of the Pak missiles successfully took off, but it fell 367 miles away from the target, on its own government building at 11.00AM. Fortunately there were no casualties as no employee had reached the office that early.
In any case,the nuclear core of the missile had detached somewhere in flight.The Pakistan army is now trying to get better technologies from China and USA.
The Indian Government, taking no chances, decides to launch a nuclear missile of its own, after convening an all-party meeting. This time all the parties agree. Its three months since the army had sought permission.
But as preparations begin, "pro-humanity","anti-nuclear" activists come out against the Government's decision. Human chains are formed and Rasta rokos organised.
In California and Washington endless e-mails are sent to Indians condemning the government and mentioning "Please forward it to as many Indians as possible".
On the Pakistan side, the missiles kept malfunctioning. Some missiles deviate from target due to technical failures or high-speed wind blowing over Rajasthan.Many of them land in the Indian Ocean killing some fishes.
A missile (smuggled from USA) is pressed into service. Since the Pakistan army is unable to understand its software, it hits it original destination: Russia.
Russians successfully intercepts the missile and in retaliation launches a nuclear missile towards Islamabad.The missile hits the target and creates havoc.
Pakistan cries for help.
India expresses deep regrets for what has happened and sends in a million dollars worth of Parle-G biscuits.
Thus India never gets to launch the missile.
Pakistan never gets it right.
And we live happily ever after!!!!

Ten Tips To Keep Your Computer Running Smoothly
Ten Tips To Keep Your Computer Running Smoothly
1. Never, never, turn your computer off with the power switch until Windows has shut down.
The one exception to this rule is when your computer locks up and your hard drive is not running (hard drive light is not blinking). In this situation, you can turn the power off without harmful effects to the hard drive. As cutting the power can also result in lost data or Windows files, you should only do this when you have to.
Following this rule will prevent permanent hard drive defects caused by the hard drive heads contacting the surface of the drive disc, and it will prevent a host of Windows problems.
Whenever possible, recover from crashes by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys at the same time. Press them again to reboot your computer.
2. I highly recommend that you purchase an UPS
I highly recommend that you purchase an UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for your computer. This will keep your computer from crashing during power outages, and will protect your computer from low and high voltage occurrences.
An UPS is far superior to a surge protector and will save your computer from almost any power type of disaster.
(See #1 above for what happens when your computer crashes.)
3. Backup, backup, backup
Backup any data you cannot afford to lose to at least two separate physical drives. So backup data to floppies, Zip disks, CD-RWs etc.
The time to backup is when you create something you can't afford to lose. Don't wait until tomorrow.
4. Run Scandisk and Defragment at least once a month.
This will keep your hard drive healthy and prevent crashes. Alternatively, purchase Norton Utilities and use it to keep your hard drive healthy.
5. Never unplug peripherals from the computer when it is powered up.
Unplugging with the power on can short out the connector socket or the motherboard.
The only exception to this rule is if you know a peripheral is "hot pluggable". If you do not know what "hot pluggable" means then ignore this exception.
6. Do keep at least 100 MBs of your primary drive free.
Do keep at least 100 MBs of your C: drive free for Windows to use. If you use Windows Me or Windows XP then you should have 200 MBs of free space on your C: drive.
If you do not have enough free space you will choke Windows and it will start dumping data to your hard drive, or it will just get really, really, slow.
Use the ADD/Delete tool in the Windows Control Panel to delete unneeded programs from your drive.
You can also use Cleansweep included in Norton Utilities to clean up your drive. If you do use Cleansweep or another hard drive cleaner, do not delete shared files unless you back them up. The cleaners do a rotten job of knowing if another program uses shared files.
7. Do not let a lot of programs load up when you start your computer.
They use valuable memory and Windows Resources (Windows internal workspace).
All programs in your Windows System Tray (in the lower left of your screen) are running on your computer. Close them if you don't need them or run them and configure them not to load when you boot up.
Other programs running in the background can be found by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete at the same time.
8. Do use a virus checker regularly.
Everyone should use a virus checker. The best type of protection is continuous monitoring from a dedicated anti-virus program.
9. If you have a high speed Internet connection you need a firewall program.
A firewall program keeps those who want to hijack your computer from gaining access to your system. You really do not want someone else running your computer.
I suggest you purchase and run Sygate Personal Firewall program(It's free can be downloaded from downloads.com). Your firewall should boot up with your computer to protect it from invasion.
10. Keep track of the software disks you receive
Keep track of the software disks you receive with your computer and new peripherals. These disks contain valuable software drivers and programs for Windows and are needed when Windows must be reloaded. Keep these disks and your Windows software disks in a safe, dry, place -- you never know when you will need them.
Hopefully these Computer Maintenance Tips will keep you out of Trouble.

Easy Ways To Make Your Computer Easier On Your Eyes
Easy Ways To Make Your Computer Easier On Your Eyes
If you spend your day and maybe part of the night peering into a computer, you may have wondered if this work is really good for your eyes. Maybe your eyes burn and look red. Maybe you end the day with a headache. Maybe, in fact, you have "computer vision syndrome" (CVS). Here are some of the symptoms of CVS you should be aware of:
. Eye strain
· Headache
· Blurry near vision
· Slowness in changing focus
· Light sensitivity
· Eye irritation, trouble with contact lenses, after-images
· Neck, shoulder, and back pain
Of course, some of these symptoms may have other causes, and any demanding visual work can produce eye symptoms--it doesn't have to be computer work. But the visual demands of long hours at a computer are probably more intense than other kinds of close work, and thus are more likely to result in symptoms.
How to prevent or correct problems
Symptoms of CVS may be more common and more severe among people who work all day at a computer, but they can happen to anybody who uses one. Here are some simple ways to correct the problem:
Position your screen 4 to 9 inches below eye level.
This will ensure that you gaze down at the center of the screen at a 10° to 20° angle. It also prevents neck strain. You may also need to adjust your chair height. Check your general comfort level.
Are your feet flat on the floor? Can you easily maintain good posture? Do you need to make awkward eye or body movements to use the keyboard or refer to printed material? Locate your monitor squarely in front of you. Most jobs are best done if the screen is 20 to 28 inches from the eyes. Make sure your work area suits you. If you're consulting a document, position it at the same distance as the screen
Limit glare.
Bright lights in your peripheral vision can create "glare discomfort." Position your lamp so it does not reflect in the screen, and so that the bright light is not in your peripheral vision. If you're working near a window, correct the light with a window blind. Wear a visor, if that helps.
Limit reflections.
A computer screen is glass and thus very reflective. Try shading the screen with a file folder to discover where the reflection is coming from. You may temporarily solve the problem by taping a file folder or piece of cardboard to the top or side of the monitor. An anti-reflection screen may help, too. When shopping for one, look for the seal of the American Optometric Association.
Clean the screen often.
Use a soft cloth and plain water to do this.
The content will be much easier to read.
Work in large, legible type if you're writing.
You can reduce the type size later, if necessary.
Don't work in a breeze or in front of a fan.
A dry environment can be irritating to the eyes.
Try to blink regularly.
Use artificial teardrops (not decongestant drops), if needed.
Have your eyeglass prescription checked regularly.
Tell your eye doctor how much time you spend in front of a monitor, and bring measurements of the distance of the screen from your eye and the angle at which you view it.
You may need a special pair of glasses for computer work.
Take brief breaks.
Try to do this every 45 minutes when working at a monitor.
Do remember, too, that if you spend the workday in front of a monitor, it's helpful to give your eyes a rest at night. Read a book, take a walk, chat on the phone, have some dinner. Allow yourself an hour or two before you go on line to read your e-mail or surf the web

Indian Home Remedies
Indian Home Remedies
At the first sign of cold, cough or sore throat the following concoction never fails to work. Boil some tulsi (basil) leaves, a few black pepper corns and cloves (crushed) a little ginger (also crushed) in some water till the mixture becomes dark brown. Add a little honey and sip it piping hot. For only colds, juice of half a lemon added to this gives quick relief. A few tulsi leaves boiled in water for the first cup of tea in the morning, taken regularly is good for the heart and prevents frequent colds.
Isabgol (flea seed husk) taken with some hot liquid like tea or even water before going to bed is quite helpful. Haldi (turmeric) boiled in milk along with figs also helps in relieving constipation.
If there is discomfort in the stomach the immediate remedy is to quickly boil some a/wain (organo), zeera (cumin) in water, acid a little kala narnak (rock salt) and a few drops of lemon.Isabgol taken with yoghurt is good for loose motions. A banana. (not very ripe) also helps.
To keep bowel movement smooth and to avoid a constipated stomach eat plenty of fibre found in green leafy vegetables, popcorn, porndge etc.
There are some food items which are worth more than their weight in gold. For instance garlic - very useful for lowering high blood pressure, cholesterol, acidity; also acts as a blood purifier. Amla (Indian gooseberry) contains the highest amount of Vitamin C and can be taken raw or in juice form or made into chutney during season or as a morraba (sweet pickle) out of season. Karela (bitter gourd) also contributes in keeping a check on blood sugar. Papita (papaya) is yet another fruit with sterling qualities; it helps to reduce cholesterol level and if taken daily keeps the stomach in top working condition. For lowering blood sugar nothing to beat jamun (Indian blackberry). The fruit may be eaten during season and the seeds can be dried and powdered together with Methi (Fenugreek) seeds and a tea-spoon of the mixture should be taken with water before going to bed.
As for beauty aids, you can make a moisturizer at home by mixing equal volumes of glycerine, rose water and lemon juice. Keep in a bottle and apply on face, arms and legs to keep the skin soft and smooth.

POEM
If I asked, would you be loyal?
And when you do, would you stay forever?
To hold my hand through my code bugs
Make me laugh through my ephemeral idiocies...
Wipe my tears through anotherjob firing ?
Or cook me potato curry on a tiring monday?
Or add some colorsto my rascally ppt's?
Would you remind me about the boisterous boy inside?
Or just let me play the husband?
