Just Loved these lines....... When I got enough confidence, the stage was gone….. When I was sure of Losing, I won……. When I needed People the most, they Left me……. When I learnt to dry my Tears, I found a shoulder to Cry on…… When I mastered the Skill of Hating, Someone started Loving me from the core of the Heart…… And, while waiting for Light for Hours when I fell asleep, the Sun came out….. That’s LIFE!! No matter what you Plan, you never know what Life has Planned for you…… Success introduces you to the World……. But Failure introduces the World to you……. Always be Happy!! Often when we lose Hope and think this is the end….. God smiles from above and says, “Relax Sweetheart; It’s just a Bend, not the End..!"
I thought there would be a discussion about coffee. The beans, the roasting ,the grinding,thefilter types,the making, etc., What is the best coffee for making madras filter coffee decoction?
Nice to see some activity here. Best coffee? Suma coffee in Bangalore. :-D Ready roasted, ground with chicory in the desired proportion.
Roasted Tamarind seed powder is supposedly added to some coffees to add bulk. Some coffee drinkers in forin consider even the Madras coffee:chicory mix to be bad. How did people in Madras (mostly Tanjavur and Kumbakonam) come to the habit of coffee, and then the coffee mix with chicory ? Some holistic healthfood aficionados have come to regard chicory as an adulterant. 12 Foods Most People Don't Know Are Dyed or Adulterated 12. INSTANT COFFEE Tamarind seeds or chicory powder are very popular adulterants around the world and used to add bulk and color to instant coffee. These can cause diarrhea, stomach disorders, giddiness and severe joint pains. Solution: Gently sprinkle coffee on the surface of water in a glass. The coffee will float whereas chicory will start to sink within a few seconds. Also, the falling chicory powder will leave a trail of colour behind due to the large amounts of caramel it contains. the author of the above is: Karen Foster is a holistic nutritionist, avid blogger, with five kids and an active lifestyle that keeps her in pursuit of the healthiest path towards a life of balance.
