Fireside Complete Issue Apr J The House Magazine of the Thermax Group Volume 39 No. 2 April-June 2009 Volume 39 No. 2 April-June 2009 Cover Attired in colourful clothes, pots perfectly balanced, these two women in Rajasthan are performing a thankless daily chore – bringing potable water to their homes for their men, children and cattle. In their arid surroundings water is precious. Not a drop to be spilled. Not a drop to be wasted. This conservation ethic is deeply ingrained and rain water is carefully harvested with indigenous systems, over the decades. Water is life. Even more so for them. Despite the gravity of the subject, the picture conveys a strangely positive feeling. Taking things in their stride.

  • South Indian Cuisine
    SOUTH INDIAN CUISINE South Indian Cuisine is a term used to refer to the cuisines found in the four southern states of India, namely Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. As opposed to North Indian cuisine, there is limited use of garam masala and other dried spices except cardamom, black pepper and turmeric. South Indian cuisine is rice based. Rice is combined with lentils to make wonderful dosas, idlis, vadas and uttapams. These items are glorious and delicious besides being nourishing and digestible (due to the fermenting process). They are combined with sambhar (dal), rasam (tamarind dal), dry and curried vegetable and pachadi (yogurt). Their rice preparations are also masterpieces like biryani from Hyderabad, lemon rice and rice seasoned with coconut peanuts, tamarind, chilies, curry leaves, urad dal and fenugreek seeds. South Indian chutneys are made of tamarind, coconut, peanuts, dal, fenugreek seeds, and cilantro. Meals are followed by coffee. South Indian dals and curries are more soupy than North Indian dals and curries. South Indian cuisine is also hotter. Coconut milk straight from the nut is a common beverage and sight in South India. Coffee is very popular in South India and Madras coffee is popular in South Indian restaurants throughout the world. The South Indian food is a brilliant blend of flavors, colors, seasoning, nutritional balance, fragrance, taste, and visual appeal. PARIMARAL - THE SOUTH INDIAN TRADITION OF SERVING A TRADITIONAL MEAL A typical traditional meal in South India is served on a "Vazhaillai", a freshly cut plantain leaf. The Sappad or food that is served on a banana leaf (even the size of the leaf varies from one community to another) is displayed like an identity card.

  • Processing and Mechanical Properity Evaluation of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composition
    International Journal of Machine and Construction Engineering, Volume 6 Issue 2 June 2019 PROCESSING AND MECHANICAL PROPERITY EVALUATION OF HYBRID FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER COMPOSITION M.Dhanabal1, M.Kavithanjan2, G.Malaiyappasamy3, A.Jaganath4, M.Sivaraja5 1,2,3Student, Mechanical Engineering, N.S.N College of Engineering and Technology, Karur 4Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering, N.S.N College of Engineering and Technology, Karur 5Principal, N.S.N College of Engineering and Technology, Karur ABSTRACT: Extensive efforts have been made in the last decade for the development of natural fibre composites. This development paved the way for engineers and researchers to come up with natural fibre composites (NFCs) that exhibit better mechanical properties. The present review is based on the mechanical properties of gongura, sisal, and combined fibre-reinforced composites. Before selecting any NFC for a particular application, it becomes necessary to understand its compatibility for the same, which can be decided by knowing its mechanical properties such as tensile, water absorbtionl, and impact strengths. It has given information about the suitability of gongura fiber, sisal fiber as a source of reinforcement in epoxy matrix composites. NFR composites have higher fiber content for equivalent performance which reduces the amount of more polluting base epoxy resin. The tensile properties epoxy is of about 55.65 N/mm2 But Water absorption is very low value obtained from gangura fiber. Combined fiber has more impact strength than others. But individual property of gangura is very best. 1. INTRODUCTION: polypropylene (PP) hybrid composites through compression molding technique using a twin screw extruder. The Material types and applications of new materials composites were produced with and without maleic anhydride technologies have been developed day by day.

    Aarsha Vani (Voice of Sanatana Dharma) October 2019 Volume: 5 Issue: 09 GURUVĀṆI The intellectual knowledge, that just like one gold has transformed into different ornaments, it is only ONE GOD who is worshipped in different forms as many gods, is present only in Sanātana Dharma. When thought as only ONE, that God is formless, whereas when worshipped in multiples, it has names and forms. Like one is always conscious that all the different ornaments seen are transformations of one gold, bhārātiyas are always conscious of the fact that the different names and forms are expressions of ONE SUPREME GOD. – Samavedam Shanmukha Sarma.

  • Current Scenario of Hibiscus Sabdariffa (Mesta) in India (Maharashtra)
    The International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Invention Volume 1 issue 3 2014 page no.129-135 ISSN: 2349-2031 Current Scenario of Hibiscus Sabdariffa (Mesta) In India (Maharashtra) Juhi Agarwal and Ela Dedhia Department of Textile Science and Apparel Designing SNDT Women’s University, Mumbai, India Abstract Green fibres like flax, jute, sisal, kenaf, mesta which has been used for more than 8000 years are the present and the future raw materials not only for the textile industry but also for modern eco- friendly composites, cosmetics, medicine, food, fodder, bio- polymers, agro fine chemicals and energy. Potentially under optimum cultivation conditions they cause little or no detrimental effect on the eco- system and they can be grown in different climatic zones. Organically cultivated, they recycle the carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere. In the present study the current status of the cultivation process, harvesting and retting methods of Hibiscus Sabdariffa (mesta) are studied and documented along with its current uses and socio economic factors influencing the production of the crop. The crop is cultivated in the most organic and efficient way with the sowing happening in the month of July, with the onset of monsoon. Special organic compost is prepared as manure and applied to the crop at regular intervals. Harvesting is done individually in the month of December with the help of a sickle. The plant is not uprooted rather cut at the bottom with utmost care to avoid any damage to the fibre. The crop is planted for the calyces and the leaves which are consumed as food, while the stalks are the by- product so the process of retting takes its own time.

Arundhati Roy plunges into the sea of Gondi people to find some answers... ARUNDHATI ROY The terse, typewritten note slipped under my door in a sealed envelope confirmed my appointment with India’s Gravest Internal Security Threat. I’d been waiting for months to hear from them. I had to be at the Ma Danteshwari mandir in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh, at any of four given times on two given days. That was to take care of bad weather, punctures, blockades, transport strikes and sheer bad luck. The note said: “Writer should have camera, tika and coconut. Meeter will have cap, Hindi Outlook magazine and bananas. Password: Namashkar Guruji.” Namashkar Guruji. I wondered whether the Meeter and Greeter would be expecting a man. And whether I should get myself a moustache. There are many ways to describe Dantewada. It’s an oxymoron. It’s a border town smack in the heart of India.
