Grădina desfătărilor

ore de drum

Eindhoven, 2019

Am descoperit din întâmplare grădina cu dalii.

Eram în drum spre centru venind de la o fermă bio, și ne-am abătut pe o cărare fără niciun indicator, din pură curiozitate, ca să vedem ce surprize ne mai oferă peisagistica din Brabant. Și pentru că, uneori, mă las atrasă de poteci misterioase ca în Haruki Murakami. Așa am descoperit grădina.

Avea un mic panou pe care era menționat programul, foarte restrâns și restrictiv.

Am avut noroc că am găsit o doamnă binevoitoare, Leentje, care, văzându-ne străini,

ne-a deschis poarta, ne-a invitat înăuntru, ne-a oferit explicații și flori cu ospitalitate desăvârșită.

Ne-a dat toate lămuririle necesare că să ne simțim mai mult decât bineveniți.

Am aflat că grădina există de șaizeci de ani, neschimbată, și aparține aceluiași proprietar, un club de doamne din

NTU Singapore scientists develop antibacterial gel bandage using durian husk

“With the growing threat of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, the world will need multiple alternative ways to prevent infections. An effective way to protect open wounds is with antimicrobial bandages that are biocompatible and safe for prolonged use by humans. This is especially important for diabetic patients suffering from chronic wounds,” explained Prof Chen, the Michael Fam Chair Professor in Food Science and Technology at the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering.

Vegan Recipe : Simple Homestyle Soyabean Curry

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

So, I have ditched the fancy-schmancy cooking and now I’m into simple, healthy cooking that does not require exotic ingredients and state-of-the-art equipment. {I still have my Makhani, Kadhai and Lababdar days….but not as much as before 😉 } If you’ve been following my posts, my new mantra is Sundar-Sasta-Tikau. That literally translates to Beautiful-Cheap-Durable. This kind of food would be suitable for health and fitness aficionados, bachelors and students who do not have access to much variety, huge varieties/fresh markets, food processors, ovens etc. and people who wish to simplify their life with minimal belongings or hope to keep it simple to avoid stress and decision fatigue.

Myanmar Soldiers Burn Man Alive in Weekend Orgy of Junta Violence — Radio Free Asia

Security forces in Myanmar unleashed machine guns and grenades on protesters Sunday, a day after the army’s slaughter of more than 100 protesters sparked demands for international action and marauding troops n Mandalay burned a night watchman alive while shooting at people who tried to help him.

A witness said the man was still alive and screaming for help when soldiers threw him onto a pile of burning tires, but non-stop gunfire prevented onlookers from coming to his aid.

“They dragged him and threw him into the burning flames,” said a local woman who witnessed the incident in Mandalay, Myanmar’s second largest city.

“Only bones were left by the fire. It was a very inhumane, wild and cruel act. They burned him alive,” she said.

The 13 deaths in Yangon, Sagaing, Mandalay and other regions–following Saturday’s killing of  114 people, including six children–pushed the death toll since the coup to over 450 people, as international condemnation poured in along with calls for action to halt the violence.

Forgiveness has to start somewhere, Maybe you were deeply hurt in life and no matter how much you try to move on and try to forget it’s impossible so you start hating more and begin to seek or have vengeful thoughts.

I know life is not just that you can just wake up today and forgive and forget, then it will be over and done with. Forgiveness is a process it may take a lifetime to fully heal for some wounds and…
