The Great Experimenter
Gandhi was no emperor, not a military general, not a president nor a prime minister. He was neither pacifist nor a cult guru. Who was Gandhi ? If anything, Mohandas K. Gandhi was a constant experimenter. Spirituality, religion, self-reliance, health, education, clothing, drinks, medicine, child care, status of women, no field escaped his search for truth.

Make Silk Gandhi’s Way!
Silkworms’ favourite diet? Mulberry leaves! For days, they eat, eat and EAT! Then suddenly one day sway to and fro. Showtime is here folks! The worms spew out silk to make silky cocoons for their dormant pupae days. However, on a silk farm, many a silk moth fails to see the light of day. Silk farmers ruthlessly kill the dormant pupae with heat. A massacre just to get skeins of silk.
Indians have realised what an inhuman act this is. So now, we have ahimsa silk. Farmers wait for the moths to fly away. Then unwind the silk from the open ended eri, tassar and muga cocoons. The clever Chattisgarh farmers sprinkle crushed, sun dried, heady mahuwa seeds at the base of mulberry trees. Pooh! The silk producers crawl out from their warm cocoons! An idea to be emulated to drive away unwanted guests! |
Lindsay Lohan on Gandhi’s Way!
Troubled Lindsay Lohan seems to be starting 2011 on a positive note with Gandhi’s quote on her Twitter.
She wrote,
Today is the first day of the rest of my life “The future depends on what we do in the present.” -Mahatma Gandhi… One step at a time….
