Turning waste into utility products

We are all well aware of how plastic bottles and metal cans are wasted and cause harm to the ecosystem in different ways. Social media is flooded with documentaries showing how individuals and NGOs work in turning waste into useful products. DW TV Channel telecast on such programme in today's episode of Eco Africa

In our country there are individuals and NGOs involved in this, but the number is small. There should be more people and NGOs involved.

Our Gurujee's Fest

Today is a very auspicious in the Maadhwaa community of Brahmins. This day is the 31st anniversary of the Vedhaantha Pattaabhisheka Festival of Shree Satyatma Theertha Swaamiji, Chief Pontiff of our Uttaradi Mutt to which I belong. Today is also an auspicious day related to Shree Ramachandra Theerthaa.

Krishnam Vande Jagad Gurum🙏.

Ageing and facial complexion

It is a well known medically proven fact that as we get older our facial complexion changes. In most cases, it is fast. But in a few cases, it is slow. For instance, Bill Clinton and his wife seem to be in the majority category. Mammutty, the Malayalam movie actor and Aparna Sen, West Bengal movie actress seem to be in the minority category. God's Will is far above our human expectations.

Sarvam Krishna Mayam🙏.
