It is said that if you pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of native English speakers. After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he'd prefer 6 months of hard labor to reading six lines aloud. Clearly I am not better than the rest, but my first attempt at narrating. Head over. Listen with ears wide open. Read with eyes protruding out. And certainly a fully functional brain.

Bling On With Rejewel !
What do you do when your favorite
jewellery brand offers you to put on some brilliant jewelry and flash it on a
camera? Well, you agree to it, of course! Especially, since it was Rejewel.
Rejewel has always been my to-do to place for all my jewellery needs. Be it a
desi look for family function, swag for late night party, or my favorite
simple girl-next-door look - Rejewel craters to
complete, any and all, of looks you wish to pull off. (Pssttt... a little secret, if
you are one of the girls who has received a wedding gift from me, this is where
I got it from) So, to begin with I spent the afternoon choosing jewellery (from
a vast available choice). With so many choices in various forms, shapes, stones, kundan, etc., I must say the
urge to just have them all and walk out as the proud owner of Rejewel's
recent collection is indeed intimidating. Here's a little sneak peak
at my well spent afternoon:
Wearing White? Jazz it up with CZ Ruby Bangles with exceptional Channel Setting work which will add color to your dress that easily.
Pair your netted sari with these CZ Emerald Ruby Necklace and Earring pair to enhance your outfit.
Head over to http://www.rejewel.in/ to see more of their collection. By the end of day, I felt true to Rejewel's tag - Absolute
Grace! Absolute You! (Yeyy! For Absolute Me!!)

I like to Moo-it Moo-it!
During one my volunteering expeditions I got a chance to interact with
Dr. Aditi Kulkarni - a renowned doctor who has been continuously striving to
make medicines from naturally available resources. Medicines derived from
products and by products of Cow is what she specializes in. Strange as it may
sound, it is true and her studies are backed up by various scientific
researches carried around the world. A few of my learning’s summarized as
below: 

* To start with, Panchagavya which
a mixture of three direct products (cow dung, cow urine, and milk) and two by
products (curd, ghee) these ingredients are mixed in proper proportion,
fermented and then act as excellent fertilizers and pesticides for crops.
* Panchagavya when mixed in
appropriate proportions suggested by experts along with other medicines strengthens
the immune system and is capable of warding off diseases like TB, Jaundice,
Typhoid and Malaria. Gaurakshaks (Cow
caretakers) never have these diseases as they are constantly in an atmosphere
where Cows dwell. Panchagavya has all
the basic minerals and proteins required for human body to sustain which is taken
in by Cows when they eat the wholesome grass. Dr. Aditi has derived various
medicines (capsules, syrups) with certain amount of mixtures of Panchgavya which help in prevention of
Arthritis, Dengue, and even act as a supporting to medicines to help reduce
Cancer!
* As a child, during Mahasatyanarayan Pooja’s the Pandit who performed
Pooja used to give everyone one tini-tiny drop of Gomutra (cow urine) as shudhikaran
(purification) routine. As silly as it may sound, it really does work. Cow
urine or most Indians call it (Gomutra)
acts as a natural enhancer to medicines. The quantity and mixture of Gomutra required to increase effect of
medicines has been studied and should be consumed only as guided by experts.
* Cow enhances the quality of air surrounding it. Joke? Not even
slightly funny. FIR (Far Infrared Ray's) has been deemed necessary for human life as per NASA studies.
These rays are used in incubators which hold prematurely delivered babies,
replicating the same rays found in Mother’s womb when baby is still inside.
These rays are the reason why pregnant women see difference in the quality of
skin, hair, and in general improvements in glowing during those nine months. Cow
skin absorbs FIR and emits it back to surrounding
environment allowing the surrounding air quality to improve.
* The team manufactures and sales products with base ingredient as
Panchgavya. These products not only
include the common medical oils and capsules but also shampoos, floor cleaners
and other eco-friendly products like Ganesha
idol, Cow dung holi sticks (so no
more cutting of trees).
* They have a distribution center in Kalyan and soon to start in Thane
(both in Maharashtra, India). The main aim being if the products are sold, it
will automatically encourage farmers to pet more cows, treat them properly as
they would need the byproducts, while slowly and steadily moving back towards
traditional farming (no tractors) to reduce burden on environmental pollution.
Use natural fertilizer (cow dung which has exceptional medical properties as
well) and no more pesticides improving the quality of crops grown, generating
income for the farmer not only from his crops but also from cows ensuring
financial stability. Using natural fertilizers will yield better returns in
term of quality of crops and give back society organic and healthy living
options. Using natural products made with use of Panchgavya will let you derive the benefits of respective product
while you do your bit in encouraging the farmers to take more initiative and
perform to their best capacity.
So, like many other myths we get to hear in Indian Culture; the one to
worship cow as our mother is actually certified with scientific researches,
something which our forefathers knew and we fail to realize the importance of
it even today. Indian villages and farmers have potential of standing up on
their own feet only if let them, encourage them, and support their strides
which benefit the society in general. If you are still going to ignore this,
your opinion is what Joey from Friends calls a ‘Moo’ Point – It doesn’t even
matter.
