Hello JUNTA once again.. I m back once again..But this time not to post my stuff but my friend "India Calling" ' s work. Yeah.. you read it rite..this still remains my blog but for a change i am posting her work coz of some very simple reasons
1 . She s my close frnd.
2. She seldom writes , so this a way i'd be encouraging the good work she sometime does.
3. Coz the post is all about TRIXY !!! (her dog)
So swthrt .. I am doin this favour not for you .. But for the unconditional love I have for TRIXY.. (note: I am mad at you for not having mentioned me explicitly in your article.. coz I was one person who was involved in "TRIXY BACHAO" andolan at ur home .Never mind , is baar tujhe maaf kar diya.)
India Calling , as I call her ( there s a long story behind tat name) is not a kind of a girl who would cuddle up with animals and have fun.. leave alone own one and take care of a pet.She'd run away from all the possible fun loving creatures.I never imagined tat of all people this girl would end up with TRIXY.
One cool morning , she calls me up to say "hey megs , mere ghar pe theres something which will make you go mad... you will love it..!! Amazing surprise in store for you." And I casually replied "Kyon.. tere ghar pe doggie toh aa nahin sakta that can surprise me... " n she stopped me n said "YES !!!!! " Thats what we are getting home today !!
Was i in my senses ? Did India Calling make n e sense ?? Did she say "DOG" ? .. Well to confirm tat I was in her house in 2mins(trust me .. 2mins...not one sec more ) n there i saw the "cutie pie" ... cuddled up neatly in a blanket .. eyes still closed .... oooooooooooooooooooo.. i loved that time.. that was an amazing moment ...
N the next few days .. her home had become my abode ... Would spend loads of time with TRIXY.. but eventually... he became such an important part of IC's life that I cant tell you.. I would hear IC's blabbering non-stop abt him.
Glad that TRIXY bought such a significant change in your life . It did make you realize what "unconditional love" truly means....
So .. here s what IC has to say about TRIXY ..
"TRIXY ki kahani ..IC ki zubani ...."
It is all about TRIXY. My sweet, cute, little darling. It was my pet. Brought it home on 6th of December 2005. One morning, dad called up and said that a puppy is on its way to our house.. I was shocked to listen that. Though excited to see him was a bit scared. The moment I saw it, was scared to touch it. How much ever my parents and friends forced to take into my hands, I used to refuse them every time. Forced my dad to give him back and I did not want it home. I was so inhuman to push it away when my dad placed the little one on my lap.
Days passed on, a week later; I started admiring it to the most. The small creature, which I refused to touch, is my dearest friend now. I used to take it into my hands, loved to feed him, make him sleep on my lap and what not. My day used to start with playing with him, end with waking him up just to say goodnight. Having seen it growing from a small pup to a cute little dog, which plays around coming in between our legs to a dog, which used to love us to the maximum extent, I learnt a perfect way to care for a person.
The innocence it has in its eyes, the love it gives and the care it showers has no bounds..!! No matter you feed him or not, play with him or not it comes to us wagging its tail just to show that it loves you. It changed our life completely. The situation when the total family was down with some or the other problems, it made us forget everything by its cute mischievous things. It never used to leave a single person in the total family including my grandpa to my relatives as though it has a strong bonding with them.
My heart fills with happiness when I think about the situation when it came running towards us, seeing my dad shouting on me. However, the matter was not serious, just hearing his voice loud, it came running to revolt back on him by raising his voice above and over his. We all were astonished to see him, sat down with lot of happiness and some unexpressed feelings in us. Have learnt what "love" is and how to love a person to the maximum extent from him.
We human, being so egoistic always want the other person to come to us often when we are into a quarrel. On the other side, a dog, which many people see it with disrespect, comes to us, sits at our feet just to feel our warmth, no matter how much ever we scold it or even harm it physically. By my heart, can say I never feel ashamed to bend my head to respect the love it has for its people. May be that is the reason god has created us in such a way that we have to bend our head to see them whereas they always see us with their head always up.
Very privileged was I to live with it for a year, though was not lucky enough to be with him all its life long. Have to leave it one day, another day in my life that I cannot forget. The tears I shed, the pain I felt, could not do justice to what it was for me. Have I lost something very precious in my life or was I very lucky enough to spend alteast a year with him still remains a question in my heart. "THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE" it has given me in my life can never be forgotten. A permanent and a safe place it has got in my heart..
TRIXY, I love you..!!!!!!!!!!
@ IC ... this is only for Trixy .. madam aap apna blog khud shuru karo .... N yes.. I would like to send me some our amazing snaps with TRIXY so that I can post it here

Saanthwana: My first visit to an Orphanage.
Few captured moments at Bal Nikethan:
I m proud to say that I had been associated with a group of people who were keen about doing something for the country. Only thing tat was troubling me was that I couldn't do anything productive to help them in their cause.
But now that I am back home, I knew my chance of doing my bit for my country (even though very small proportion) was here. I then attended the first meeting of SAANTHWANA on the 2nd of December 2007 at OU college steps and from here my journey towards becoming a true individual began.
Since the group had many known faces it was not difficult for me to gel with them, but at the same time I was introduced to many more individuals who were equally interested on making a difference.
My first official visit to an orphanage was on the 15th of December, 2007 to Bala Nikethan at Uppal . After a tiring journey from Hitech city (frm my office) to Uppal , I reached the Orphanage and those smiling faces made me feel so happy that the journey dint matter at all.
The love and reciprocation I received from them was amazing. Even though it was my first visit to the orphanage, I felt I had been visiting for sometime now and enjoyed every moment I spent with them. The way the kids mingled with me and played games, clicked photographs is way beyond what I had imagined.
The children were happier than one could possibly imagine. It was chaos of happiness.
Seeing this was just one of those moments that I cannot describe. It was one of those moments that reminds you of the power of the human spirit, and the hope that these children must live with everyday. I think that if they didn't have hope for a better future then it would be hard to survive there.
We all are so lost in the fancy world during which we hardly seem to notice other things. We all have luxuries yet we always carve for more. When we see these children in orphanages we notice how lucky we really are.
The purpose of me writing this blog is plain and simple - be a part of this noble cause and do your bit for your society and country on the whole and experience the happiness.
Saanthwana: Emotionally Yours
Saanthwana – I m proud to be associated with it.
Saanthwana is a group of like-minded individuals who share a passion to serve the society selflessly.
About the Group:
In Sanskrit, the word 'Saanthwana' means consolation, which is the fundamental idea behind the formation of this organization. We believe that the needs of the homeless extend beyond monetary support. Rather than providing them with financial support and dusting our hands off them, we intend to give them love, affection and a feel that there is someone who cares about their happiness and contentment.
There are a lot of people who want to contribute to the society, but do not know how to go about it. The group intends to provide them with a platform, which enables them to visit orphanages and old-age homes and spend time with the people there and give them moments to cherish.
Their roots:
They started off with a community on Orkut called the 'Homeless...unwanted' and succeeded in creating a network of around 100 people in Hyderabad. A day per month is dedicated towards visiting an orphanage/old age home and the network is notified with details of the visit and every person with free time visits the orphanage/old age home that day spending around 3-4 hours.
Though the group is not very keen on funds and donations, any money that is collected before the visit is spent in buying things that are requested by the particular orphanage/old age home.
They have been receiving funds not only from people in Hyderabad but also people in Bangalore and USA who are not able to visit in person, but want to contribute to the cause.
The USP, of the group is to concentrate on building an emotional bond with the children and making them feel wanted. They strongly feel that they are no different from any other child and we set out to make the children think the same way. It is for this reason that they conduct visits to orphanages to spend some time, giving the children happy memories and ourselves an immense amount of elation.
More about Saanthwana can be found on Orkut, community name is Homeless..Unwanted(to be upgraded soon to Saanthwana).

Nothing Lasts Forever ...
No matter what others say, or how much ever they taunt.
Lately, few things have been in my mind
No others means to express I find.
I never really knew you
There was this time I thought that you were just for me,
I saw no flaw in my choice, but I guess I clearly dint see.
I never knew this relationship would come to such an end,
And eventually I'd get back to calling you as a friend.
Not holding you in my arms is tearing me apart,
This can't be over; we're still not through,
I still can't stop myself from thinking that I'll never be able to see you again,
But again, this is my choice and I am not going to complain.
They don't know what we are going through,
I'm trying my best to appear strong,
All the words I ever said or wrote still hold true
Maybe we will be together again if it was meant to be,
So when the time comes, promise me you'll take my hand and be with me forever,
But again, I am sorry for now.. I have to say that Nothing Lasts Forever…

At Beaumaris Primary, we believe that literacy is the key to learning and success in later education and in everyday life. Literacy skills underpin success in all other learning.
Our English program encompasses all forms of communications: listening and speaking, reading and writing.
The Early Years of Schooling is seen as a important time for the development of basic literacy skills, so theEarly Years Literacy Program is implemented from Prep to Year 4.
In Middle Years (5-6), teachers use strategies to challenge and extend their students to become independent speakers, readers and writers.
Our English program aims to develop:• A knowledge of the ways in which language varies according to context, purpose, audience and content, and the capacity to apply this knowledge
• A knowledge of the linguistic patterns used to construct different texts and the capacity to apply this knowledge
• An appreciation and understanding of a range of texts
• The capacity to discuss and analyse texts
Julie Shepherd – English Consultant presented an information morning for our Foundation parents. Julie's presentation covered how to assist your child in literacy during their Foundation year. For a copy of the presentation handout – please click here.

Tick Those Tropical Resort Boxes: Romantic … Tick; No Kids … Tick; Idyllic …Tick; Great Food … Tick … And More
Guys, the facts are simply the facts, in that we need to realise that our beloved partners make the decision about where we go on holiday!
For those of us pre or in our case, post children phase of life, there are number of boxes that simply have to be ticked, including ones like, romantic … tick; no kids … tick; idyllic …tick; great food … tick; great pool … tick; great spa … tick … and more!
Our beloved will also have a vision of lazing by the pool at an idyllic tropical island resort, one with coconut palms swaying in a warm breeze and an azure blue ocean shimmering into the distance … and, wait for it, a hand waves in the air and an icy cocktail appears, as if by magic!
Well, the good news is that I have found just the place that ticks all those boxes and many more, the perfect place for discerning younger couples, that I like to call "BC" aka "before children" and also those where the kids have flown the nest and wondered off into the distance, that I also like to call "SKI", but with no snow involved here, aka "spending the kid's inheritance"!
So, where am I?
I am at Likuliku Lagoon Resort in Fiji's Mamanuca Islands, Fiji's award winning, over water tranquil, luxury paradise, without any doubt a dream fulfilled, an untouched paradise, with at its heart a turquoise lagoon,described and I experienced, as a place of unimaginable beauty and tranquillity, with the first visitors many years ago, exploring and honouring the magic of the place, by naming it "Likuliku", meaning "calm waters".
Likuliku is just a short hop from Fiji's Nadi International Airport by South Sea Cruises ferry, or an even shorter hop by helicopter, seaplane or a Sea Fiji water taxi, with Likuliku Lagoon Resort a genuine, superb haven of subtle luxury.
It is also not only the first and only resort in Fiji with over water bures, but it is also 100% Fijian family owned, bringing to the resort a unique and special feel, with the resort also designed with integrity to Fijian cultural values, traditional designs and architecture and embraced by the renowned warmth of the Fijian people and the Likuliku family
From the water Likuliku looks like an ancient village, built in traditional style, with the beating heart of the Resort a magnificent building in the design of a Fijian canoe house and surrounded by sprawling ceilings, hand-woven thatch and an exotic mix of natural materials and modern elements, embodying the richness of an ancient culture with vibrant present-day lifestyle touches.
A luxury escape for couples only, Likuliku is unquestionably a magical sanctuary, with the ten private, exclusive and stunningly beautiful over water bures, as across the entire Resort, featuring traditional architecture and materials, using natural elements unique to the region, with elegance and style, with guest in the over water bures able to laze on their private deck, luxuriate in their separate bathing pavilion or enjoy lagoon views from their bathtub, with all bures featuring air-conditioning, music systems, phones, free WiFi, flat-screen monitors and DVD player, a daily Chef's Canape Plate and a blissful King bed.
The eighteen Deluxe Beachfront Bures also feature traditional designs and natural materials that reflect the beauty and history of the South Pacific, including a personal plunge pool, with the Garden Beachfront and Beachfront Bures offer a secluded haven of relaxation and privacy and all bures equally well equipped.
The culinary experience at Likuliku, delivered by Executive Shane Watson and his team features international standard gourmet food integrated with the exquisite flavours of the Pacific Rim with the "Fijiana" Restaurant the Resort centrepiece, with views over the Lagoon, gardens and pool, with the cuisine clean, fresh and creative, showcasing the finest local produce, with an emphasis on local seafood, lush tropical fruits and premium products, with the dining concept changing daily in a mini-degustation style for lunch and dinner, combined with a variety of themed evenings showcasing local and cultural elements.
"Tatadra" which means "House of Dreams", is the name for Likuliku's spa, luxurious and tranquil, nestled against the green slopes of the island with beautiful Lagoon views and soothing breezes, where guests drift into relaxation with a Fijian-style massage or select a natural beauty and body treatment to soothe the soul from the range of "Pure Fiji" products.
At Likuliku they invite you to name your adventure……… or not, with a myriad of land and sea pursuits available, with snorkelling only steps from your Bure or a range of nearby secluded snorkelling sites of unimaginable beauty or perhaps, windsurfing, fishing or a jet ski tour. Perhaps though, simply lazing by the spectacular horizon-edge pool or soaking in one of the many mini-jacuzzi areas in the pool is for others and most definitely for me!
Without question, my search for my idyllic tropical island paradise resort was over at Likuliku Lagoon Resort Fiji and so can your search be over,but you can also go some way to fulfil your dream search, by joining me on my visit to Likuliku Lagoon Resort by checking out the video below.

I am pleased to announce that Read to Succeed has had another successful year and the campaign is going from strength to strength. Thanks to the kind donations from our community, over 2,500 children received a new book just in time for the school summer holidays, that is 1,000 more books than were donated last year.
In addition to this, the libraries in our area saw a 4% increase of children participating in The Summer Reading Challenge and "Yellow Token" starters from Read to Succeed were up on last year by a whopping 51%!
Taking part in The Summer Reading Challenge prevents the reading "dip" that often occurs during the school summer holidays, by encouraging children to read six books of their choice for fun. The yearly increase of Summer Reading Challenge participation in our area means more and more children are returning to school in September ready to learn.
I would like to thank all the community groups and businesses who have donated books this year and Cambridgeshire Libraries who run The Summer Reading Challenge for another successful year. I hope that all the children who participated this year had a fantastic time discovering new worlds and ideas via their books and I look forward to announcing the schools who have won Read to Succeed prizes soon.

Before we get into Dr. Unger's concluding remarks in the video we've been looking at in the last 10 articles, and wrap this up, I wanted to go back to the experiments with the mice on high fat diets and talk about that a little.
Now Dr. Unger doesn't discuss what the role of glucagon actually is here, given that without glucagon the mice don't get fat from a high fat diet, but I think this is very important and perhaps even the most important part of his research findings.
If you recall, we know that excess glucagon secretion is driven by lipotoxicity, so something is behind the insulin resistance in these normal mice leading to their experiencing high levels of insulin and weight gain, and while Dr. Unger may not have thought it necessary to mention this, they didn't pick a high fat diet by accident here.
So it's well know that, under normal conditions at least, a high fat diet does produce insulin resistance, and it does this through promoting lipotoxicity. So while we know that excess lipogenesis from insulin produces a lot of fat in our blood, we don't want to forget that dietary fat does this as well, and when you give mice a high fat diet and they get diabetes, as sure as the sun rises, then you know that a high fat diet isn't as diabetes neutral as a lot of people seem to think these days, the high fat proponents.
I do want to come back to this in a lot more detail in a future article, but for now I'll point out that it is very important not to take the results of the people that do well on high fat and say that we all will do well on it. Should we be able to do this and not have too much fat circulating around, then we can pull this off, but when we do, well dietary fat can surely add to this, it has to go somewhere, and can elevate lipid blood levels to be sure, although in some cases it doesn't, and that likely has to do with the way some people metabolize fat, especially in a ketogenic state.
It may be that the ketogenic state succeeds in some people so well because it reduces serum lipids, and that actually makes sense since if you're burning this for fuel then there will be a whole lot left kicking around then if you burn glucose, but if glucose is your primary source of fuel, either by choice or not, you do need to pay attention to levels of fat intake, and if you don't, well this can really mess up your metabolism and glucagon levels in particular.
So back to the video, and Dr. Unger is now summarizing his conclusions, and presents a slide with what he feels is behind diabetes, with excess glucagon resulting in excess insulin, which results in excess fat, which breaks down into ceramide which poisons both the beta and alpha cells, which leads to more glucagon being secreted though more alpha cell insulin resistance, which causes even more insulin to be secreted, even higher ceramide levels, and the diabetic vicious circle remains in motion.
He feels that caloric intake is central to starting the whole process off, which he states causes the hyperinsulemia that gets this whole thing off of the ground, however I don't think calories are behind this, as we know that there are people who consume a lot of calories but eat very low fat and their insulin levels remain not only normal but below normal.
This is one of the challenges that some type 2 diabetics face on very low carb, and some even use exogenous insulin in modest amounts with no long term deleterious effects, at least as far as blood sugar control or developing insulin resistance that requires increasing the dosage over time.
To be fair though, if one consumes the standard diet and one consumes too much of it, that will do it for sure as this will create an excess of fat production from lipogenesis, carbohydrates are what does this though, so we can comfortably say it's not the calories it's too many carbohydrates, well in excess of what the body needs.
Fat and protein also play a role but to go into that too much here would be beyond the scope of this article, but I don't want you thinking that it's just carbs that can affect us, too much fat can as well, and even too much protein, although through different mechanisms. Fat of course is what we're looking to keep under control in the blood, and too much protein can result in an excess of both insulin and glucagon secretion, both of which are things we're looking to control with type 2 diabetes.
Personally, I find I can consume a reasonable amount of all 3 macros, but if I go over that with any of them I can run into trouble. I think that this is to some degree dependent upon the person as well, as one's needs for each does seem to vary, and we certainly want to tailor this to our own metabolism and our own diabetes and throw away the over generalized guidelines in all cases.
Dr. Unger concludes this amazing and informative video by discussing his progression from going from focusing on lack of insulin exclusively as the issue with diabetes back in the early 1960's, to his bihormal view in the 1970s where he saw both an insulin lack and a glucagon excess as being behind things, to the present day where he believes that glucagon excess is behind it all and the sole factor responsible for diabetes, of all types.
A truly brilliant lecture from a truly brilliant man.
