Use very little but enough to cover hair completely with lather. Use a conditioner to keep hair manageable.<br />Avoid brushing wet hair. This will cause the hair to stretch and finally break. Finger-dry, or use a wide-toothed comb instead of a brush to gently remove the knots.<br />Restrict blow-drying your hair. The process of blow-drying is harsh on hair as it robs it of moisture.<br />Avoid dyes. Use mehandi (henna) instead as a conditioner and colouring agent.<br />Take a calcium supplement or drink two glasses of milk a day.<br />Always hold hair dryer away from your hair. Direct air from the hair dryer down hair shaft and not directly into the roots and keep it moving.<br />After a perm, never brush your hair. Instead comb hair gently.<br />Trim your hair once in 7 weeks to avoid split ends.<br />Avoid pulling back your hair tightly.<br />Never use a rubber band on your hair as it can pull and damage hair considerably.<br />Never go out in the sun without having your head covered.<br />Stimulate circulation by massaging your head with oil to which some vitamin E has been added. This will make hair soft and silky.<br />Never wash your hair with very hot or very cold water.<br />Learn to relax. Hair loss can happen because of stress. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin B, C and E.<br />Add iron and minerals in the natural form in your diet.<br />If your hair is oily, cut down on fried food and fat. Drink plenty of water.Arun Prakashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04955316711015980623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441936363555458013.post-29569223135031402352009-02-25T03:34:00.000-08:002009-03-01T19:59:06.577-08:00Vegetable Biriyani<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kpD_G1cJmJo/SVIeivtsb6I/AAAAAAAAAIk/WxBWEnWeLSQ/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283318895131520930" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 120px; height: 120px;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kpD_G1cJmJo/SVIeivtsb6I/AAAAAAAAAIk/WxBWEnWeLSQ/s320/images.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><strong><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Ingredients:</span></strong><br />2 cups Basmati Rice </div><div>1 cup Mixed Vgetable (cauliflower, potato, carrot, french beans)</div><div>150 gms Green Peas</div><div>3 Finely Sliced Onion </div><div>2 Finely Sliced Green Chillies </div><div>Salt to taste </div><div>1 tsp Red Chilli Powder</div><div>2 tsp Cinnamon(dalchini), Caraway Seeds(zeera)</div><div>4 Cloves (laung)</div><div>1/2 tsp Black Pepper Powder</div><div>4 Tomato</div><div>1/2 cup Yogurt (curd)</div><div>4 tbsp Vegetable Oil</div><div>1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds</div><div>3 tbsp Dry Fruits (cashew nuts, raisin) </div><div><br /><strong><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">How to make vegitable biryani :</span></strong><br />* Wash the basmati rice well before cooking.Then take rice with 3-3/4 cup water and a little salt added to it and 2 tbsp of dry fruits.Cook it in pressure cooker or in a pan or microwave. </div><div><br />* Cut all the vegetables into small thin pieces and fry each one of it separately in oil.

It is found in vegetable oils such as corn, olive, palm, peanut and cotton-seed oils. Animals acquire their vitamin E from plants directly, or by eating other animals that have derived their vitamin E from plants and stored it in their liver, muscles and fat. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin like A, D and K.<br /><br />Vitamin E has an important function as an`<a name="antioxidants"></a>antioxidant'<a href="http://www.healthyeatingclub.com/info/books-phds/books/foodfacts/html/options/options4.html#antioxidants" target="_self"></a>. As such, it prevents the degradation of polyunsaturated fat and other compounds by oxygen. It may have some additional functions in the membranes of body cells. Although an attractive idea, there is really no good evidence that vitamin E retards the ageing process or reduces coronary heart disease. The erroneous view that it might improve libido arose because vitamin-E-deficient animals can be infertile.<br />It has been recommended that enough vitamin E should be present in food containing polyunsaturated fat in order to prevent oxidation (degradation) of the fat. Where up to 10 per cent of dietary energy comes from polyunsaturated fat, 10 to 20 milligrams of vitamin E per day adequately protects the fat and provides enough of the vitamin for an adult. An alternative recommendation is that the diet should contain 0.4 milligram vitamin E for each 1 gram of polyunsaturated fatty acid consumed.Arun Prakashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04955316711015980623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441936363555458013.post-17234474255257644242009-02-20T04:18:00.000-08:002009-03-01T19:57:05.819-08:00Tourist Places in KeralaKerala India Tour has many other interesting surprises in store for you.<br />The major tourist destinations in this south indian state include Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Kovalam, Thrissur, Kozhikode, Munnar, Palakkad, Alappuzha, Kollam, Kannur, Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, and Sabrimalai etc, which trace out the vibrant and colourful life of Kerala at every step.<br />The state has initiated the promotion of eco tourism and is committed to increase the participation of tourists in making the state tourist friendly.

So, when vitamin C is properly delivered into skin cells, there is a good chance to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture.</p> <p>However, eating a bag of oranges every week is not going to bring about the desired results for your skin. In order to see the benefits of vitamin C on the outside of your body, you will need to find a way to combine a healthy diet that is rich in vitamin C with skin care products that contain this important nutrient. Scientists have now discovered how to use a variety of vitamin C derivatives in skin care products that will bring about the same benefits as natural vitamin C with less of the ingredient required for results.</p> <p>Apart from intake of vitamin c there are also other ways to protect skin from damage and keep it glowing. <strong>Free radicals which damage the skin are accumulated due to excessive sun exposure, cigarette smoke and environmental pollutants</strong>. Hence, skin has to be protected against these. Have plenty of water, when people are dehydrated wrinkles are much more noticeable.

Before his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist, and the leader of the African National Congress' armed wing Umkhonto we Sizwe. The South African courts convicted him on charges of sabotage, as well as other crimes committed while he lead the movement against apartheid. In accordance with his conviction, Mandela served 27 years in prison, spending many of these years on Robben Island.<br />Both in South Africa and internationally, Mandela's opposition to apartheid made him a symbol of freedom and equality for many. However, the apartheid government and various other nations condemned him and the ANC as communists and terrorists.<br />Following his release from prison on 11 February 1990, Mandela, supporting reconciliation and negotiation, helped lead the transition towards multi-racial democracy in South Africa. Since the end of apartheid, many have frequently praised Mandela, including former opponents.<br />Mandela has received more than one hundred awards over four decades, most notably the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. He is currently a celebrated elder statesman who continues to voice his opinion on topical issues. In South Africa he is often known as Madiba, an honorary title adopted by elders of Mandela's clan. The title has come to be synonymous with Nelson Mandela.</div>Arun Prakashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04955316711015980623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441936363555458013.post-91649926099241576212009-02-02T23:17:00.000-08:002009-03-01T19:55:05.984-08:00White House<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283252845971679810" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 250px; height: 185px;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kpD_G1cJmJo/SVHieLa2qkI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/-aeGJlqO3gw/s320/white.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>The White House is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States. Located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., it was built between 1792 and 1800 of white-painted Aquia sandstone in the late Georgian style and has been the executive residence of every U.S. President since John Adams. When Thomas Jefferson moved into the home in 1801, he (with architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe) expanded the building outward, creating two colonnades which were meant to conceal stables and storage.[1]<br />In 1814, during the War of 1812, the mansion was set ablaze by the British Army in the Burning of Washington, destroying the interior and charring much of the exterior walls. Reconstruction began almost immediately, and President James Monroe moved into the partially reconstructed house in October 1817. Construction continued with the addition of the South Portico in 1824 and the North in 1829. Due to crowding within the executive mansion itself, President Theodore Roosevelt had nearly all work offices relocated to the newly-constructed West Wing in 1901. Eight years later, President William Howard Taft expanded the West Wing and created the first Oval Office which was eventually moved as the section was expanded. The third-floor attic was converted to living quarters in 1927 by augmenting the existing hip roof with long shed dormers. A newly constructed East Wing was used as a reception area for social events; both new wings were connected by Jefferson's colonnades. East Wing alterations were completed in 1946 creating additional office space. By 1948, the house's load-bearing exterior walls and internal wood beams were found to be close to failure. Under Harry S. Truman, the interior rooms were completely dismantled, resulting in the construction of a new internal load-bearing steel framework and the reassembly of the interior rooms.</div>Arun Prakashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04955316711015980623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441936363555458013.post-51645698606964033632009-01-20T03:47:00.000-08:002009-02-07T03:54:03.619-08:00How to make Mutton KeemaMinced meat - 150 grams<br />Onion (medium size) - 1<br />Tomato (small) - 1<br />Ginger garlic paste - 1<br />Turmeric powder - ¼ tsp<br />Chilli powder - 1 tsp<br />Coriander powder - 2 tsp<br />Oil - 3 tsp<br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Method to prepare</span></strong><br /><p>1)Heat oil in a kadai or pan.

As time passes during this period, shampooing and other movement on the scalp will cause the hair to disengage from the scalp. This is part of the normal shedding process. We shed an average of 50-100 hairs per day. Under normal conditions new hairs grow to replace each hair that has been shed, keeping the average number of growing hairs about the same at all times. Hair loss may involve many unknown factors, however, healthy hair is part of the over all good health of any person and is directly related to healthy conscientious nutrition. A well balanced diet may not interfere with a genetic predisposition – however it will support the health and appearance of the hair that is retained on your head.<br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">50 Hair Example:</span>For the first example, we have a person with about 100,000 active hair follicles on their scalp, with a 60 month average growth period, and a 3 month average rest period. On average they will shed about 1/63 (60 months +3 months ) of their hairs in any given month, or about 1,500 hairs every 30 days. This works out to about 50 hairs per day, and would be normal hair loss.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">New Hairs Grow:</span><br />Under normal conditions, approximately the same number of new hairs will just start growing to replace the hairs that have been shed, so the average number of growing hairs remains about the same all the time.<br />Hair loss may affect anyone at any age, Androgentic hair loss being the most common form of hair loss. Hair loss may also be the result of an auto immune reaction, in which a person's immune system attacks the hair follicles, as in Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis and Alopecia Universalis. Hair loss may also be self inflicted as in Trichotillomania. Hair and its appearance contributes greatly to our self-esteem – hair loss may be interpreted as some form of illness or a diminished vitality. Studies have indicated that hair loss has had a detrimental effect in the efforts of men and women persuing high profile careers as well as children and adolescents persuing their educationArun Prakashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04955316711015980623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441936363555458013.post-87309154791628866082008-12-23T23:50:00.000-08:002009-02-05T00:34:50.704-08:00Vegetable Roll<div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kpD_G1cJmJo/SVHqJ7nDTHI/AAAAAAAAAHw/eKpNwbGDxG4/s1600-h/images.jpg"></a><br /></div>

The tour of Rajasthan presents a kaleidoscope of brightly turbaned men and women with twinkling anklets in colorful swirling ghagras that characterize the vivacious presence of this state. The Rajasthan Tour is dotted with island palaces shimmering on cerulean blue lakes; temples and fortresses situated on the hilltops of the rugged and rocky Aravalli ranges. A tour to Rajasthan India familiarizes you with the exquisite palaces built during the reign of the royal Rajput dynasties; and well laid out gardens, which add up to the charisma of the state.<br />The vibrant state is famous for the festivals of Holi, Gangaur, Pushkar camel festival, Kite festival, Dussehara.

The Aryans from Central Asia settled here in about 2000 BC followed by the Mauryan dynasty in about 400 AD. The settlement of the Scythians in Rajasthan gave birth to the warrior clans of Rajput who dominated this region for over 1000 years.<br />The lack of unity amongst the Rajput clans permitted the Mughals to conquer Rajasthan. With the decline of the Mughal Empire, the Rajputs again recovered their lost territories and status. The British Raj entered in Indian and this state to mark the decline of these powerful Rajput dynasties of this state.Arun Prakashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04955316711015980623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441936363555458013.post-61505833978678212602008-12-07T03:41:00.000-08:002008-12-24T03:46:43.255-08:00Red Fort<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283320543453530802" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 261px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 179px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kpD_G1cJmJo/SVIgCsMSSrI/AAAAAAAAAIs/H3rKdmQMe7w/s320/red-fort-in-delhi.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br />Shah Jahan shifted his capital from Agra to Shahjahanabad and laid the foundation of Red Fort, or the Lal Quila, on 16th April 1639. It took nine years to build this mighty citadel and it got completed on 16th April 1648. It is said that about one crore rupees, an astronomical sum in those days, was spent on its construction. Half of this sum was spent to build the exotic palaces within the fort. Built of red sandstone, it is octagonal in shape, with two longer sides on the east and west. The perimeter of its strong ramparts is about 2.41 km. Red Fort rises to a height of 33.5 m on the town side and 18 m along the river. A wide moat surrounds the fort, which was originally connected with the river and was always filled with water. The two main gateways, known as Lahori Gate and Delhi Gate (named so, as they face Lahore and Delhi respectively), are three storeys high and are flanked by semi-octagonal towers. They are situated on the centre of the western and southern sides respectively. The main entrance to the Lal Quila is through the Lahori Gate. Beyond the gate, there is a roofed passage, flanked by arcaded apartments leading to the palaces, known as Chhatta Chowk. These apartments are now used as shops. Besides these, there are three more gates on other sides, which are kept closed now. The master builders of the Red Fort were Hamid and Ahmad. Visitors are allowed only in a part of Red Fort, as the army occupies the rest of it.<br /><br />Some of the main buildings within the fort are:<br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Diwan-i-Am</span></strong><br />Diwan-i-Am or Hall of Public Audience is situated in the Red Fort of Delhi. It originally had a courtyard on its front and was richly ornamented with gilded stuccowork. Heavy curtains graced the main hall, which were three bays in depth.<br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Hamam</span></strong><br />Accompanying the Diwan-i-Khas, or Hall of Selective Audience, the Hamam (bathroom set) consists of three apartments interconnected by corridors. The marble floors and dados are inlaid with beautiful floral patterns of multi-colored stones.<br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Moti Masjid</span></strong><br />The personal mosque of Aurungzeb, Moti Masjid or Pearl Mosque lies to the west of Hamam. Situated on a higher level than courtyards, the prayer-hall of the mosque has inlaid black-marble outlines of 'musallas' (small carpets for prayers) and is surmounted by three bulbous domes.<br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Mumtaz Mahal</span></strong><br />One of the original six main-palaces situated along the river front, Mumtaz Mahal was also known as 'Chhoti Baithak'. A beautiful water channel called 'Nahr-i-Bihisht' (meaning Stream of Paradise) flew through these palaces. However, this palace has been removed, probably because it was totally in ruins.Naubat Khana Naubat Khana, or Naqqar Khana (meaning the Drum House), is situated at the entrance of the palace area. Here music was played five times a day at the appointed hours. It housed a gate known as 'Hathi Pol' (Elephant Gate), where visitors dismounted from their elephants.Arun Prakashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04955316711015980623noreply@blogger.com4
