<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ugadi or commonly said Samvathsaradi as the name says it is the beginning of new era, the season of spring is associated with this lunar based festival. Ugadi is the New Year for the Telugu, Kannada, Marathi and Sindhi speaking people around the world. Most of the countries around the world celebrate their New Year based on lunar cycle, unlike the Gregorian Calendar. I would like to put here what I know about how the Hindu lunar calendar is read. This is my basic understanding. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Dictionary meaning of anniversary is annual recurrence of a notable event. In day-to-day life anniversaries are more of memories and celebrations. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The month of March is special to my family. My parents, my two brothers and I, all of us are associated with our marriages to this month. Last week my parents are celebrated their 61<sup>st</sup> marriage anniversary. My parents were in their teens when they got married, that long ago. Needless to say it was a typical Hindu traditional arranged marriage. They did not have a honeymoon, per se. Do I need to say, there were no honeymoon's at all in any traditional Hindu families 50 plus years ago. They are happy with with 3 children, and 6 grandchildren. We all think that my mom and dad used to argue forever, now we know it is all for making children happy and not to cause inconvenience to us. Last week even we celebrated our anniversary, I will share more about it later. It is not all, couple of weeks back my elder brother celebrated his 24th marriage anniversary. They are blessed with two sons. To conclude the list, my younger brother's marriage is also associated with March. He was engaged this month 19 years ago. He is blessed with two daughters. How time flies......to bring special flavor in our life in its own way.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Eating with hands! What?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Has your mother ever told you to wash your hands before eating your food. "Mom can I eat with spoon" is the immediate question. Here is the answer for them which I recently read in <a href="http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/virtues-of-eating-with-hands-a-kerala-banana-leaf-experience-foodie-trail-114021300388_1.html">Business-Standard</a></span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Food is the God's given gift. We are honoring by eating with our own hands instead of using other modalities. Our hands are more hygienic when washed with water. We connect with food with a sense of touch. I know we are busy and eating on rush. Can we put some effort to eat once a day mindfully with our hands. We can find help, by thinking through these realities. <span style="font-size: small;">Enjoy the food by licking your fingers, it tastes good ;-) as we did as a child.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here is part of the text from <a href="http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/virtues-of-eating-with-hands-a-kerala-banana-leaf-experience-foodie-trail-114021300388_1.html">Business-Standard</a></span></span>:<br />

this week. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Their love began since the day my dad tied the knot to my mom 60 years ago, in their teens. It was an arranged marriage.<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Even-though</span></span> they had seen each other once before, they did not have a full picture of each other in their minds. During the ce<span style="font-size: small;">remony,</span> my parents, as any young couple did not understood the deeper meanings of the vows they were taking<span style="font-size: small;">.<span style="font-size: small;"> T</span></span>hey were in divine language, but they understood tha<span style="font-size: small;">t </span>they have be together in good or bad situations. With the blessing of thei<span style="font-size: small;">r elders,</span> their bond grew and will last for eternity. They have created memories which will last forever within the depths of their heart. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">They have shared wonderful times together and with their family; and wish them to continue to cherish the joy that arises from that.<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>I am sure they are proud to see their three children grow as responsible adults in leading their respective families. We are proud of having you as our parents!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Congratulations on your special <a href="http://padmashares.blogspot.com/2011/03/march-month-of-marriages.html">anniversary</a> and our heart felt wishes from your children, their spouses and grandchildren. We wish you both a healthy life with peace all around.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">According to UNESCO, out of about 6000 languages no more
than 200 have the status of national language. Looking at these numbers, we can see many languages are endangered. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Language is fragile. Language and culture are intimately linked,
language holds meanings of rituals and cultures which is easily passed on to the next generation. The loss of
language is more than the loss of transactional communication. For social purposes you may require and so have to learn different languages; that should not stop respecting your OWN <a href="http://padmashares.blogspot.com/2012/02/mother-tongue-day.html">mother-tongue,</a> with which you grew up. Don't loose the sweetness of your mother-tongue which is close to your heart.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If your mother-tongue is Telugu (తెలుగు), you will definitely enjoy this video. You may find similar in your languages too.</span></span><br />

beans have satiny skin, leaves lots of colored water when soaked. Clean the soaked water couple of times until you get clear water before you cook. When cooked the
bean have creamy texture and sweet flavor. It is b<span style="font-size: small;">est and easy to cook in a pressure cooker. </span>Beans can be eaten in varied ways. I use black beans as any other beans in my cooking.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">A</span>n advertisement caught my eye which read<span style="font-size: small;">,</span> it has all-in-one. <span style="font-size: small;">The container<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span>states, it has all the essentials required for a complete balanced diet. It has protein worth nearly 3 eggs; 3 slices worth of fiber; probiotics worth 1cup; 3 servings of green; omega-3s <span style="font-size: small;">equivalent</span> to 3 <span style="font-size: small;">salmons</span> and antioxidants compensating of eating 3 cups of blueberries. "Wow" all in the form of powder, can have it as a health drink. Probably good for elderly or for a busy individual or may be even for a picky eater.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Though <span style="font-size: small;">i</span>t has everything you need, I personally feel nothing replaces fresh produce. Most nutrients are lost in cooking, sauteing in oil, or even juicing. I can understand it may be a luxury to cook from scratch, for some. I am not a big fan of left overs nor <span style="font-size: small;">I</span> prefer to waste my food. Since childhood I was trained to eat freshly cooked food. </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since ancient times or scientifically reheated is not good for health. I have no statistics but reheated or stored/processed food causes different ailments in our body. </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our family is blessed with no allergies or digestive related disorders.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Eating well is to feel we<span style="font-size: small;">ll</span> for living well. Eating a healthy diet and <span style="font-size: small;">exercise<span style="font-size: small;"></span> on a regular basis wi<span style="font-size: small;">ll give us a new lease on life. </span></span>It is like a long distance race. Recent statistics speaks that disability has been slowly overtaking mortality. Sometimes a serious health scare prompts us for a lifestyle change. To help my family with healthy diet, new ingredients like, <a href="http://padmashares.blogspot.com/2011/03/quinoa.html">Quinoa</a> has entered my kitchen. Look for my posts from next month to know more about my new now-permanent hosts of my kitchen.</span></span><br />
