Brown rice's unbeatable anti-diabetic quality.

Before reading more about brown rice, just read the blood sugar level of my husband Badri.
Fasting: 182                     171
Post Parandial: 127          146

I am sure that is enough for you to do your research on brown rice-right?

Actually, my husband is always ready to try anything anyone suggests that would reduce his blood glucose. I don't think he ever refused to try something new to lower his blood sugar.

A few years ago, he tried red rice but quickly put it away. This time, my daughter-in-law found a new way to cook he brown rice. It came out successfully, without excess water in it.. It mixed well with sambar, rasam and buttermilk!

After seeing the results, we were encouraged to stock it up.

I urge you to try it if you are diabetic of course. Else, please pass it on.

Do you know this hill station in West Bengal?

One of the 100+ feed subscriptions of mine is Buzz Feed. I am simply in love with it. The content I get to read in it is just awesome and it is in fact reduced my FB browsing time which is a real time waste.

I love to read about lesser known beautiful places in India though I don't like to travel. It's just that I can pass on my knowledge to passionate travellers.

I love mountains and lakes. They are my all time favorite. Recently, buzz feed sent me this picture below. One casual glance at it and I was hooked.

It is called Sandakphu, located in West Bengal. I read the temperature may go down as low as -20 deg. Wow! That must be chilly. It is inside the district of Darjeeling, touching the Nepal.

It is said that one can see the 4 tallest peaks in the world from Sandakphu. They are Kanchenjunga, Everest, Makalu and Lhotse. The nearest railway station is New Jalpaiguri.

The perfect guitar speaker that resonate with American tone.

One more guitar added to his inventory by my son meant the beginning of a search for guitar speaker that he is yet to try.  Before he began his search online, he spoke to some of his friends in his amateur troupe and the name screamin eagle came up thrice.



That did it and he started searching first for reviews of Screamin' Eagle 12" 50W Guitar Speaker. I knew what he will do next. Irrespective of the reviews he read online, he would then start to look for used Screamin' Eagle 12" 50W Guitar Speakers just to try them out.

A few minutes ago, he asked me to watch a video review of the screamin eagle. I obliged and what I saw did not convince me. Nevertheless, my son did not bother about my opinion. Well, that was expected too.


He was convinced that he wanted to be among the few elite people that boasted of using screamin eagle and borrowed one from his troupe member. It won’t be long before he bought a new one.
