GO! GO! GO! H2O... Climb up the tree. 🌊 🍀

By
One of the daily chores assigned to me by wife is 'watering the plants'. Quite fond of plants, I have happily taken up the task and do it religiously, every morning. My mom too has a penchant for gardening. We even had a 'kitchen garden' at our home in Agra, boasting of vegetables such as Cauliflower, Spinach, Radish, Beans, Tomato. I along with my younger brothers, Kushagra & Mayank, were given the onus of watering our organically produced veggies & at times, scare away the monkeys from destroying or rather savouring our prized cultivation. Prized it was, as to every guest who came to our house, it was sort of mandatory to showcase them our vegetable garden. The green chutni made from home grown coriander really had a distinct flavour and aroma, much to our delight and guests envy 😋. Good old days. I'm getting nostalgic!

Camel: Know how the 'Desert Ship' keeps sailing without water

By
The ship of desert, as the camel is widely referred to, is really a life saviour in the rocky, arid, vast expanse of desert. A tall lad, with a shy attitude, is a champ when it comes to braving the odds in the most toughest of environments and climate.

The projected mass, generally referred to as 'hump', makes camels travel over 100 miles without water. You will be surprised to know that the 'hump' is not present in the new born calves, but it grows with age. The  hump  contains  FAT (& not water)  which the beast converts to energy and water as per the exigency. Once the fat is exhausted, the hump(s) become soft and loose.

Vaccines: Deciphering the magical potion

By
"I wonder why scientists are not able to create a vaccine for a virus which can be killed by a 10 rupees soap!", read one of the memes over the pandemic. The message made me laugh and feel sad at the same time. The last few months have been tragic, fearful, and chaotic…to say the least. The world has been in the grip of a virus, with lock-downs enforced in numerous countries. The cases are heading north with no respite in the near future. Vaccine has been a topic of discussion in recent times. Though theories on vaccines being in different stages of development are doing rounds, it is highly unlikely that one will be available for general use by the end of 2020. Though, I sincerely wish it does. But do you know how vaccines work? How do they create a protective shield around our body? And how did the name 'vaccine' come into existence? Continue reading. How was the name 'Vaccine' coined? Let us commence by reading about the word itself. 'Vaccine&
