Nilgiris views

I wonder the fearless attitude of local people of Nilgiris. When we travel up  and down  of the hilly areas ,often come across different types of wild animals.They are fond of  planet products and learned to be more Eco- friendly.Wild elephants,oxen, deer,pigs,etc come very close to the hamlets.Observing their activities ....is really interesting.During this weekend I had a visit to my friend's house there I spent long  time with them.This visit was important and memorable ,because there were more guests other than family members.A troop of monkeys were playing and making a lot of fun near the corridor ,one among them was eating papaya leaf ;by seeing this.... somebody commented  they might be eating it to prevent from fever [papaya leaves are good medicine for all kind of fever.] the little  one was crazy throwing something on the elder ones........chasing and running .....I was so happy to watch this .... enjoyed it a lot.

Nowadays,The Indian farmers are in a mode of change.Application of technology in rural farming is widespread .There is a shift from tradition to modern.Many innovative ideas and methods are experimenting in daily farming.This is due to various factors.The main reason is increasing wages.The farmers are not able to afford the daily expenses while comparing with the reward from farm.They always consider cost and benefits in order to survive.Also  there is a tendency to make interpersonal relation among each other.They share not only the new ideas but the materials too. This year sufficient rain improved the growth of cultivation as well as weeds;removing it from cultivated land is a great task.Even the small farmers say, they automatically depend on weed cutting machine;but it should be handled with much care, otherwise there is a chance to cuts off saplings along with unwanted weeds. Despite removed weeds will become good manure; they have become more organic, dream of bright future. T

         After along time ,today is a sunny day.The sky is so bright;                                                                     the rain drops on the leaves ,glazing like beautiful pearls in the sea.                                                        everybody is happy......all the creatures roaming around by making their own                 noise.....admitting the unpredictable changes which happens around us.                                                   As agreat woman , the whole world is my home land; I too feel the same ......    

Nilgiris views: TULSI

During rainy season everybody realize the medicinal value of Tulasi .It has been used for thousand of years in India  for its divers healing power. It is helpful for balancing different process in the body and helpful  for adapting to stress.  Its extracts are used in Ayurvedic remedies for a variety of ailments.Tulasi is taken in many forms as herbal tea ,dried powder ,fresh leaf etc..Oil extracted from karpoora tulasi is mostly used for medicinal purposes and in herbal cosmetics.

I always admire at watching the children in the village.They are  happy and enjoying  their life. They are very energetic,capable of doing things;can survive in any situations.Nobody have taught them ;how to swim...still they swim like  well trained kids.I think encouraging our child to swim regularly can have many benefits for both their health and safety Swimming is away to keep cool while encouraging a healthy level of physical and social activity.   It is one of most effective workout than some other activities.                                                                 By teaching our child to swim,they will not become a stronger swimmer,but also gain great experience in the water.This training reduces the risk of an emergency.Swimming is a way to prevent childhood obesity;which has been linked to juvenile diabetes.It promotes heart and lung health.Swimming from childhood improves strength ,flexibility,stamina,etc.Also balances mental and emotional health .Moreover we mus

Where ever I go ,I managed  to get a sapling  along with me. Three years back I had a trip to Ambalavayal Farm; from where I bought a tiny gooseberry plant.Now it becomes a tree with full of gooseberries........what a taste......I really enjoy it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Medicinal value of Gooseberry.                                                      1  Gooseberry  contains vitamin C'.It purifies the blood.It reduces brain diseases.                                                                                                                                                                                  2 Good for memory power.                                                    

  I had wonderful experience with a Toda family who live near to Ooty.The life style,food habit,dressing,the way of doing things etc...are entirely different from others.Todas are one of the ancient tribal societies in Nilgiris.They are small pastoral community.The traditional Todas house called 'Mund it is a beautiful  oval shaped house,built with bamboo.The front portion of house is decorated  with a kind of mural paintings.The   most  speciality of the house is,a tiny entrance at the front.People have to  crawl to enter inside.The main intention is to protect them from wild animals,because they live in small groups in forests , midst of  wild animals. Today traditional Toda homes have been disappearing due to various reasons.The Todas lands are now a part of the nilgiris biosphere reserves.UNESCO declared it as world heritage site.                                                                 CLOTHING
