"India, China, and Southeast Asia have valued turmeric as a medicine for hundreds of years. In Ayurvedic medicine, the 5,000-year-old natural healing system of India, turmeric is used as a cleansing herb for the whole body and as a remedy for minor wounds, poor digestion, arthritis, jaundice, inflammation, and pain." - Parth Awasthi via Bookmarklet

Turmeric Milk FTW! (That's a great home remedy for Cold, for those who don't know) - Parth Awasthi

sounds like a great way to trade a cold for another ailment... if you're lactose intolerant... - Kamilah Gill

You could drink it with warm water too. Its the Turmeric that helps actually. I just love milk :P - Parth Awasthi

+1 to Parth, just helped me get over the wickedest cold i've had over the last week. - nadim

Book Review - 'Sex in Crisis,' by Dagmar Herzog - Review - NYTimes.com

8 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link

silpol and Anna Haro liked this

"Herzog opens with a depressing snapshot of the modern marriage: Americans work too hard and spend too much time with kids to bother with romance in the evening. The easy availability of Viagra has recast sex as a male-centered mechanical act. Husbands often prefer Internet porn to sleeping with their wives. (“Not Tonight, Honey, I’m Logging On,” reads one headline she quotes.) One in three women and one in six men, according to one study, had experienced loss of desire for sex. “Americans,” Herzog writes, have “lost their libidos.”" - Parth Awasthi via Bookmarklet

that blurb is depressing... - Kamilah Gill

... or became essentially 3rd sex/gender like those gender-less *workers* among common bees - silpol

I somehow long for FriendFeed to be filled with all sorts of programmer types & DBAs. That'll be LOADS of fun! Ofcourse, Programmers are out there doing, y'know, real work... - Yuvi

Absolutely nothing to be apologetic about Kamilah! I can totally understand. Perhaps its just that I've been sneezing my brains out all day long, one cc at a time, that I'm not really capable of putting whatever is left to any use at all... Here, its Land Acquisitions Furore, J&K Violence and Floods; gloom abounds. Yuvi, I SO hope that doesn't happen. - Parth Awasthi

@Parth - REALLY? It won't happen - Programmers don't have time for this, but I'd love it if they could, y'know, be at two places at once and fill FriendFeed. Why not? - Yuvi

@Parth - Naive observation, but why does Indian politics seem to be so passive? Why doesn't anybody care? Why don't I care? - Yuvi

Yuvi: May be you are looking at wrong forums. One of the three things Indians are "active" about is 'politics'. You know the other two. - Vinay | विनय

what are the other two? - Kamilah Gill

Movies and Cricket. - Vinay | विनय

@Vinay - What are the other two?! (As someone who cannot yet vote, I think I deserve some leeway) - Yuvi

Okay, comment was posted before I saw your reply. Sorry. Should've guessed. - Yuvi

my ex from Bombay (or do you prefer Mumbai) did talk about those things fairly often - Kamilah Gill

Bombay Please, I Insist. - Parth Awasthi

I second Parth, its Bombay, Calcutta, Madras & Bangalore :)- - Peter Dawson

I'm guessing that's a bit of a political issue. - Kamilah Gill

Actually, I think changing names citing Origins and Identities as reasons is Politics. This, is simply preference. The idea that names of cities should be closer to what they spawned as, is regressive IMHO. Languages evolve, so do people and thereby does culture. Most other stuff is political propaganda; doesn't lead anyone anywhere. - Parth Awasthi

"It is true that India’s relations with Pakistan have improved lately. But more than half a million Indian soldiers still pursue a few thousand insurgents in Kashmir. While periodically holding bilateral talks with Pakistan, India has taken for granted those most affected by the so-called Kashmir dispute: the four million Kashmiri Muslims who suffer every day the misery and degradation of a full-fledged military occupation." - Parth Awasthi via Bookmarklet

"If they survive the pasteurization process, you should find the bacteria -- usually Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria -- listed on the container among the ingredients, right after milk. Both types have long reputations as probiotics, bacteria that are beneficial to the intestinal tract and immune system. Beyond that, yogurt is a terrific source of protein and calcium. Many people who are otherwise lactose-intolerant can digest it." - Parth Awasthi via Bookmarklet

Israel to Display the Dead Sea Scrolls on the Internet - NYTimes.com

Tuesday at 10:34 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link

Anna Haro liked this

"The scrolls’ contemporary history has been something of a tortured one because they are among the most important sources of information on Jewish and early Christian life. After their initial discovery they were tightly held by a small circle of scholars. In the last 20 years access has improved significantly, and in 2001 they were published in their entirety. But debate over them seems only to grow. Scholars continually ask the Israel Antiquities Authority, the custodian of the scrolls, for access to them, and museums around the world seek to display them. Next month, the Jewish Museum of New York will begin an exhibition of six of the scrolls." - Parth Awasthi via Bookmarklet
