A Diffuser and a Bottle of Essential Oil

Image
One of the fascinating things I came across while shopping online is the Aroma Diffuser. There were two types of Aroma diffusers: Electrical and Candle driven. But I was more swayed away by the candle driven Aroma Lamp.This lamp uses a small candle under a bowl or ceramic structure to evaporate the mixture of water and oil. To give it a try , I bought one from amazon along with peppermint essential oil. It was a beautiful ceramic structure which added a beautiful look to my room.     I light the candle on during the evening time to relax myself while the aroma of the essential oil diffuses all over the room. Its a very good therapy to relax ur mind and body at the end of a stressful, hectic day. It enhances your mood and reduces the stress.     All you need to do is fill the top of aroma diffuser with little water and 2-3 drops of essential oil of your choice. there are many essential oil or fragrance oils that can be used for example lemongrass oil, lavender oi

The Most Effective Way To Get Rid Of RedAnts.

Image
Whenever I used to put some eatables in my room it was often eaten by tiny house ants which are small and red. Every morning I used to clean and sweep them out of my room and by evening when I come back home , an army of ants used to party and celebrate on my eatables present in my room. I was so angry and fed with them and not able to tolerate them anymore in my room. One day I found HIT chalk used for cockroaches lying in my kitchen and thought to give it a try as I was not able to think any other alternative to drive them out. I took the HIT chalk and drew it at the entry points from where the ants enter my room and around the corner of cupboards where eatables are kept. And to my astonishment, within few minutes all the ants disappeared. Its been so many days , but they never returned back. This chalk worked for ants as well as cockroaches. Today my room is free of these little troublesome tiny creatures. Next time, when you are attacked by an army of ants, use the chalk to

The Starving Soul

Image
I am your soul, Your only soul!   But you neglect me, And ignore me, Giving me the least importance, With carelessness and ignorance.   You feed your body, You feed your desires, But you make me starve.   Know you not that your body will perish one day, But I am going to be with you forever even after the Resurrection Day.   You deprive me of prayers, And good deeds, And remembrance of The Almighty. And assume yourself the mighty.   Just to fulfill your lusts, And enjoy the pleasures of this life, You lead me to the core of poverty and strife.   Though you find the materialism of this world luxurious, But the contentment of the heart lies with me. So do feed me and take care of me, Because your inner peace can be achieved only by me.   Strengthen me with sincerity in prayers, charity and fasting. Nourish me with the Word of Almighty and the good intentions which is everlasting.   Charge me up with faith, Build me up with patience,

Summer Time ! The Sultry and Scorching Season !

Image
There were days when summer was all about outdoor fun trips to beaches, cottages, hikes in woods, trekking, meals cooked on grills. Today when we think of Summer , things that come to our mind are sunstrokes/heatstroke, dehydration, overexertion, scarcity of water. Due to gradual rise in temperature day by day, people mostly prefer to stay indoors instead of venturing out in the scorching sun. If this is the case of Humans, imagine the situation about the animals and birds out there. Birdwatching is one of the favorite activities people love during Summer Time. But the deadly heat can take a toll on not just for the bird watchers but also the birds themselves. Inadequate amount of water can result into overexertion, dehydration, heatstroke.  Birdwatching @ Bannerghatta National Park, Bangalore Birdwatching Activity is not only done in zoos or national parks or sanctuaries but also at our homes specially if our home is located in locality having good ample of trees and p

DIY Instant Planter for Seedlings

Image
Besides portraying the creativity, Being Resourceful helps you save a time and money. It is an art of utilizing resources in  a peculiar way such that people hardly think of doing it. Few days back I thought of planting few seeds since I am fond of Planting and Gardening stuff. While searching in kitchen I found some Peas. I soaked it in water for two days and next day peas started to sprout. The problem was where to sow the seeds as there were no planters at my home and out of excitement I could not wait until I go out and buy the suitable planter. Rolling my eyes around , there was one empty Kinley bottle which was about to be thrown. I sliced it into 2 halves, poured fertile soil in the upper half and rested it on the lower half for the grip. Before filling soil in upper half, tiny holes in the cap to be made with needle to let out the excess water.              Upper and Lower half of the bottle     Upper half rests on lower half     The little planter is ready
