  Books are always a good friend of any person because they give us lots of knowledge. I love books and have read many so far because every time I read a book, I learn many new things from it. You can read some of the book reviews of the books, I have read so far at Books.arvindkatoch.com . Today, I will talk about one of the famous books ' The Home Doctor - Practical medicine for every household'. We all know that there are many natural medicines available around us or in our kitchen but the problem is that we don't have knowledge about them and due to this ignorance, we fail to get their benefit when needed. We can solve many of our illnesses and health issues by using the herbs or spices available in our homes in the kitchen.  Here comes the help of this book which educates its readers very well about many of such things available in their vicinity. It further teaches the reader about essential medicines that they should always keep handy at home because these common me...

On the 31st of December and on the 1st of January which is on the last day of the passing year and on the first day of the new year, people love to send New Year's wishes to their friends and dear ones. It has now become a tradition to celebrate the 31st of December night to welcome the new year. On this night, many people do not sleep and party outside their homes. Now it has become a tradition and this trend we can see around the world. Almost all countries of the world celebrate the New Year and wish that New Year brings goodness with it for them and their close ones. After the corona epidemic, people want to forget the past bad memories and they look for new hopes in the current year. I have already shared in my last post ' Importance of New Year to Start again ' why we should welcome the new year with good hopes.  Now as different people speak different languages so I ...

 A few years back, I told you about the email fraud present at that time. (Read this post - Need for safety while using email ) Today, fraudsters have become much wider in their reach and they are stealing money from people through various other methods. How a Blank call can empty your bank account?  Recently, a person got ripped off several lakh rupees from his bank account when we received multiple random calls on his number. In this incident, the person first received a few calls on his mobile, he picked up all these calls but no one asked anything on these calls. The person realized that something is fishy or suspicious when he received a message from his bank telling him that a few lakh rupees have been stolen from his account.  This incident highlights the increasing reach of financial or online thieves in India. These people have derived many ways to steal money from the bank accounts of people by various methods and some of their methods are so real looking that n...

 In few days, we will enter the new year by saying goodbye to the past year. This thing happens every year and we keep on passing many years. It is good to celebrate the new year because it brings many new hopes for everyone. I have already written an article Another New Year is coming (Thoughts on New Year) . The best part of life is hope and any person is alive in this world till he has hope. If we are not able to do something good in the past year then we have a new option in the form of a New Year. Therefore, it is commonly said that it is a new year and it is a new you.  In life, it is common to get setbacks and failures but we should not let them affect us and look for new opportunities in the form of the upcoming years. A new year is also a time to wish and send beautiful New Year wishes and greetings to others. You can find a collection of good and beautiful new year wishes and greetings at Beautiful True picture-based new year cards and Top 10 HD new year cards ....

 As I predicted in my last post on the Gujarat election the BJP enjoys a strong base in Gujarat plus it benefits from the weak opposition (Read this post - Who will win Gujarat Election 2022 ). In this post, I touched on all the possible topics and outcomes related to Gujarat assembly election 2022. The conclusion of the article was that BJP will be very comfortable in Gujarat and this looks to happen as earlier results are predicting 150 seats for BJP in Gujarat. Congress looks to reduce to a party with less than 20 seats, while AAP looks to gain a few seats on the cost of Congress.  In the last assembly election, Congress gave a very strong fight to BJP and succeed in winning 77 seats and also stopping BJP below 100 seats.  Why Congress lost of 2022 Gujarat Assembly election? In AAP party actually benefited BJP in Gujarat by cutting the votes of Congress. Moreover, Congress was not able to work in these assembly polls as it worked in the last assembly polls of 2017....

  Is water wasting a sin? and  Why should not waste clean drinking water? It is common to find people who don't understand the importance of clean drinking water . The main reason behind it is that they are not aware of the scarcity of water present in different locations and parts of India and the world. The water crisis is on rise across the world affecting many nations and people. Today while walking in the morning, I saw at least two homes from where tap water was overflowing continuously and no one was bothering to close it down. I felt very much pained to see much water being wasted in front of me and I was helpless to do anything. In India, the tap-water in many places comes at a fixed monthly cost irrespective of the usage of water. Therefore, people exploit this thing to over-use or wastewater. Water wastage is a crime because millions of people across the world don't get clean drinking water and in many places situation is very bad. Therefore, It became the combined...

What is vinegar used for and Is it healthy or unhealthy? The use of Vinegar is widespread across the world and we can find vinegar made from various fruits around the globe. Vinegar is used in India since ancient times and it is a common part of our meals and pickles. Vinegar is used for its health benefits to human beings. The use of vinegar provides a balance and sour taste to the food. Recently, scientists have found many health benefits of consuming vinegar regularly from weight loss to sugar management. The common type of vinegar found in India is Rice vinegar, Jamun vinegar, white vinegar, wine vinegar, coconut vinegar, apple cider vinegar etc.  All these vinegar have the same active component and their health benefits are almost the same. We should start consuming good vinegar that is made in a traditional method like our ancestors' so that it holds all the nutrients and active ingredients. It is best to avoid the white vinegar made in factories by a chemical process that la...

  What hubble see on your birthday? Birthdays always hold a special day in our life. Every person tries to make his birthday a rememberable day. Birthdays are much beyond sending birthday cards and birthday wishes. Every year, we get a chance to celebrate our birthday. Recently, my birthday passed on last week and I wanted to make it special by doing something special. After some research, I learnt about the NASA site that allows us to see the pictures taken by the Hubble telescope on our birthday.  How do I get my Nasa Photo on my birthday? On this site, people can see the pictures taken by the Hubble telescope on their birthdays. After visiting the site called 'What did Hubble see on your birthday' (Search this term in Google to visit this page) you can check the birthday image taken by Hubble on your birthday. You need to select the month and date of your birthday to see the Nasa Hubble Picture of your birthday.  For me, I got a result of pictures taken by Hubble ...

Is Wheat becoming poisonous to human beings? In the past six months, I heard about three people suffering from wheat allergies and they are advised by doctors to avoid eating wheat. In one of the cases, wheat allergy or intolerance was behind the stomach problems and acute acid reflux. I was also suffering from critical acid reflux problems at night so I also stop/reduced the wheat from my diet. Surprisingly, I noticed much improvement in my acid reflux problem and I started feeling more energetic. The number of people who are suffering from allergies to wheat or wheat products is on the rise around the world. There are many studies available to us that point out the various problems associated with eating wheat.  The problem is not only with the wheat as such but it is caused by new varieties of wheat and the use of excess chemicals to increase its production. This problem becomes more serious when we use more white/refined wheat flour which lacks most of the essential nutrients ...

What does it mean when life is unpredictable?   The main mistake we all make in our life is predicting the outcomes of our life. In this way, we try to make our life in our control, however, the reverse of it is true. Life is very short and on the way, it is very unpredictable. It is the tendency of most people to predict the outcome of their and others' lives as they know what is going to happen in the future. The problem is that we don't even know exactly what is life ? We all have our own assumptions about life and we believe them true. But in reality, there is so much about life that we don't know much about it. Human beings are just struggling with their egos and acquired knowledge to find the right path in life and do what is right.  Happiness is the main motive of people in life so they try to do things in life that can make them happy. The second need of people is to feel important and influential therefore, we do many things to show our richness, wisdom and power....

  How I can be happy without being materialistic? One of the main reasons for the unhappiness of people is their too much attachment to worldly materialistic things. Sometimes, they become so obsessed with these things that these things become the reason for their unhappiness. I have written many times about Happiness and tried to touch on many aspects of happiness present in our life. Today, I will go more deeply into the attachments of people to material things and how this attachment is becoming the reason for their unhappiness. We all love to have all the latest and most expensive things present in the world but we forget that these things can't provide ultimate happiness. The happiness provided by such things is monetary and doesn't last for a long time. Many products and things are created in a way that they become old or obsolete very fast so they lose charm for us and others. Today, you may have a new watch or the latest mobile but in a few days, it will become old and...

Are they worse than credit cards?  Recently, we are seeing a jump in the pay later and credit line services in India. Some of these services are offered by banks while others are offered by financial companies in collaboration with banks. Pay later service is now offered by all the leading web portals, banks, financial firms and many more.  How is paylater different from credit card? Under this scheme, they offer you a credit line which you can use to make purchases and pay the bill in the next month. Some Non-banking financial companies even sell this pay-later scheme rebranded as credit cards. We can see companies like Slice, Fi, unicard etc which work on a similar model. Though, RBI has asked such companies to not mislead people and stop their services or apply for fresh credit card licences.  Today, I will share two of my experiences with these pay-later services where I become a victim of their trap for customers. The biggest problem with these services is that they ...

What is the Importance and significance of Diwali for Indians? Yesterday, I wrote about the importance of Green Diwali and why we should go for it. Diwali always has a great significance in the lives of Indians and especially children. I still have the memories of my Childhood and how I used to wait for the Diwali celebration. The most exciting thing for me on Diwali was the enjoyment of cracking various firecrackers and eating an abundance of sweets of various kinds.  What is the most Improtant part of Diwali? This is one festival in India which we all like to celebrate with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement. People around India prepare for weeks to celebrate this one day. Shopping is also one thing associated with this festival. Most people like to purchase something, maybe small for their homes around Diwali days. Therefore, mostly a culture of Diwali bonuses is very much prevalent in India so that people can enjoy this festival without the worry of money.  It is believed...

We already know how polluted our world has become and sometimes, it is hard to even breathe in some places. We are poisoning our air with harmful chemicals and dust. Soon, Diwali will be celebrated around India and we can see great excitement among Indians for this festival. In India, Diwali is one of the most celebrated festivals and even Indian livings outside India celebrate it in other countries. This festival of light brings happiness and prosperity to the lives of every person and we wish our relatives and friends  Diwali greetings .  B ut in the last few years, this festival become a major reason for pollution in India because of the use of firecrackers.  But thanks to the initiatives by many governments in India, we are heading towards a green Diwali. Every year, thousands of Owls die on Diwali night because millions of people across India crack crackers worth billions of rupees on Diwali day. Owl is the ride of Maa Laxmi to whom we pray on Diwali day for giving u...

In the last topic on blogging, I told you that ' Content is the King ' in blogging and is mainly responsible for the success or failure of any blog. There is no doubt that content is the most essential part of the success of a blog, however, we can fast-track this success by creating a blog or website that runs fast and is user-friendly. Search engines and readers love a website that runs fast and is easy to use. So when your website can load fast, it will get additional pushes by the search engines. Many readers leave those websites that don't open quickly. So, with good content, you also need a website or blog that runs fast too and is easily usable. A blogger should always work on creating good content because the content will always be the main part of any blog and it is responsible for up to 70% of the success of blogs. The remaining 30% is determined by factors like page speed, website design, social preference etc.  When you create good content then it is important t...

We all love to be in a clean environment because when our environment is clear and clean, only then we can live a peaceful and healthy life. No one wants to live in a place full of human and industrial waste because it causes significant harm to their mental and physical health. However, it has become the destiny of many people to live in acute polluted places due to the lack of clean places to live. In India, we cannot remove and destroy all the waste produced by humans and industries. So we see piles of human and industrial waste in many places causing pollution. In the present world, pollution is emerging as a big problem for a large population of the world.  In some parts of the world, this problem has become very serious causing a threat to the life of people, animals and birds. One of the reasons behind the increase in pollution is the use of non-recyclable polythene or plastic around the world. This plastic takes thousands of years to fully decompose and therefore, we see...

What is the message of Osho?  I have covered Osho and his teachings many times on various blogs because I like many of his teachings and these teachings have helped me to understand many things in life which were not clear to me earlier. Mostly, we start believing in things and concepts which are told to us from birth or repeatedly. We are also prepared in this way that we should never question these practices or beliefs. On the other hand, Osho's teachings ask us to question these practices and do things which look good to us. Today, we live in a modern world where any person can have his or her own views on things or subjects. Generally, we are asked to follow to same things again and again without asking any questions. Below, you can read some of the best daily thoughts and quotes by Osho and through these quotes, we can learn many valuable lessons about life. To know the meaning of any of Osho's quotes, you can click on the quote image. 1) Osho Quote (Be the Person you ar...

Every person goes through some kind of bad relationship in his or her life and the memories of these bad relationships haunt us for a long time. We try hard to escape the glitches of these irritating memories but they keep coming back and disturbing us. In the previous posts on Happiness and Life, I have already talked lots about living a happy life   (Click on the Links to read previous articles) . Every person wants to live a happy life so he tries to live his life in a way that he can get happiness out of it. To live a comfortable and happy life in the world, we have created many relationships for benefit of human beings. It is hard for any human being to live his life alone so we share our lives with many people who are somehow related to us.  In our life, we see many relationships with different people and for our happiness, it is important that there should be love and understanding between all the people involved in a relationship. But it is not true always and sometim...
