My painting in lockdown

During lockdown I just took out the paint & brushes to brush up my old hobby. using mixed media just painted a landscape portraying Switzerland’s star village “Gstaad” which is famous for winter sports and celebrities vacation homes. This village has got various types of accommodations including a 5 star hotel.

One of the snow capped peak of the Glacier 3000 is seen at far. This is the one of the tourist destinations of switzerland. There is a ropeway service from ground level to the peak.

This is Gstaad a star village of Switzerland showing Glacier 3000 at far end. i visited this place in the year 2011.

A rare bloom

A rare bloom

I never knew that Lucky Bamboo plant blooms so heavily, beautifully and with so much sweet fragrance. Observed that the flowers bloom in the evening and starts spreading the fragrance through out the night and the flowers collapses before dawn. The flowers stay for long. 3-4 days.

After many years, the plant bloomed for the first time. Years back I bought it as a indoor plant from a local fair and later I planted it in the soil in front of my building. It grew well and became bushy. Week back I found something like buds but I ignored since no flower was noticed as it was blooming in the night, I missed the flowers for 2-3 day but later one evening the strong fragrance took me near to the flowers and it was discovered with great surprise. It’s a wonderful gift of nature.

Night Time bloom
kept a branch in my drawing room, which bloomed before evening today at about 4-30PM

Nature’s gift : Coconut

Coconut water..

  • Coconut Water is More Nutritious than whole milk – Less fat and NO cholesterol!
  • Coconut Water is More Healthy than Orange Juice – Much lower calories
  • Coconut Water is Better than processed baby milk- It contains lauric acid, which is present in human mother’s milk
  • Coconut water is naturally sterile — Water permeates though the filtering husk!
  • Coconut water is a universal donor– Its identical to human blood plasma
  • Coconut Water is a Natural Isotonic Beverage – The same level we have in our blood.
  • Coconut water has saved lives in 3rd world countries thru Coconut IV.
  • Coconut water is the very stuff of Nature, biologically Pure, full of Natural Sugars, Salts, and Vitamins to ward off fatigue… and is the next wave of energy drinks BUT natural!’, according to Mortin Satin, Chief of the United Nation’s Food Agriculture Organization.
  • Coconut water contains more potassium (at about 294 mg) than most sports drinks (117 mg) and most energy drinks..
  • Coconut water has less sodium (25mg) where sports drinks have around 41mg and energy drinks have about 200mg!
  • Coconut water has 5mg of Natural Sugars where sports and energy drinks range from 10-25mg of Altered Sugars.
  • Coconut water is very high in Chloride at 118mg; compared to sports drinks at about 39mg.
From the above facts, it is needless to say that from health point of view, the coconut water is better than any drink available in the market. It is also cheaper when compared to other drinks. Then what prevents us to change to the natural one and healthier one ?
