Us

By Marietta Pereira -
There are a zillion people on the planet

There is a  you and a me,

There is a he and a she,

There is a they and  a them,

And there is a 'we' and an 'us',

That sets the buzz.


It is  US  who stands strong,

It is US that makes right every wrong,

Together WE shall find the strength,

Together WE shall tackle every bend,

In US there is magic

Isn't that Fantastic?

Let US walk hand in hand

Bringing peace, justice and happiness to every land.

  A nasty freakish fall in my kitchen does damage to the palm of my left hand, which is also my working hand and has me literally in stitches this New Year. Praise God, it could have been worse. My head is intact and I do not have to contend with any broken bones.  There are all these diets flying around, I have tried a couple, succeeded and failed and tried again. At 54 you want to dress well and look good. What does looking good entail, especially for women of 50+?  A healthy weight. For some of us, a healthy weight is hard to come by. One is called upon to garner every ounce of self-discipline and motivation in order to achieve that ideal weight. I have burnt my fingers and presently struggling with weight issues. The festive season did not help. It is going to be a long uphill climb. God help me! A haircut that does not add years but dignity to your face and elegance to your being. On the matter of hair, whil...

This recently recognized superfood is said to have originated in Tibet where it is called TSampa.It is also available in different forms, such as wheat, barley or Jowar. Sattu ki Kadi  owar.  Sattu is especially beneficial during the summer because of its cooling properties. Sattu is unique to Bihari cuisine and Litti Choka remains a popular dish even among non-Biharis. Litti is a whole wheat dough ball stuffed with a spiced mixture of sattu and served with a veggie mash called chokha.   The littis are traditionally roasted on charcoal fires but in homes they are generally baked in an oven.  ...
