A farmer separated the bulls and cows to prepare them for the mating season a few days later. He built a wall with barbed wires on top.

A young bull could not resist his temptations and wanted to mate a cow.

🙃 KITCHEN TIPS AND TRICKS!!😊 #cookingtips
From a friend who ran a catering business

1. If you happen to over-salt your gravy dish or soup, just drop in a peeled potato, and cook. The potato will absorb the excess salt.

Please share after reading!😉
Cheers.

2. When boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to keep the shells from cracking.

3. Never put citrus fruits (Oranges, Lemons, limes) or tomatoes in the fridge. The low temperatures degrade its aroma and flavor - That's why our tomatoes don't last long!

4. To clean iron cook-ware, don’t use detergents. Just scrub them with salt and a clean, dry paper towel.

5. When storing empty airtight containers, throw in a pinch of salt to keep them from getting stinky.

6. When making a gravy (stew) you accidentally burn it, don't panic! Just pour it into a clean pan and continue cooking it. Add sugar, a little at a time, tasting as you go, to avoid 'over-sugaring' it. The sugar will cancel out the burned taste.

7. Burned a pot of rice? Just place a piece of white bread on top of the rice for 5-10 minutes to draw out the burned flavour. Be careful not to scrape the burnt rice off the bottom of the pan when serving.

Lord Shiva has five faces called Ishana, Tatpurusha, Aghora, Vamadeva and Sadyojatha. These five faces of Shiva represent the five basic elements viz. akash, air, fire, water and earth.

#MondayMotivation #MondayMorning #MondayVibes

In fact these faces can be called five forms of Shiva.

Any creation has to be made out of these five gross elements. The 1st form or face called Ishana, is the first physical form of Shiva. This form gives us pleasure that is enjoyed by our physical body.

This is represented in the form of organs of hearing and speech in our body and in the form of subtle sound and the celestial sphere or akash. It may be recalled that ancient rishis got the sound of Vedas only from akash.

The second form or face is called Tatpurusha, the second physical form of the Lord. This form is identified with prakrti or the source of objectivity. This is the home of atman. This form is represented by organs of touch, organs of action, and is the subtle form of air.

Third form is Aghora is the physical form of Shiva and is identified with cosmic intellect. This form is represented by eyes, feet and dharma. This is identified with rupa or physical structure and the subtle form of fire.

India is having a crisis. A resurge of pandemic. Made worse by all news channels creating nothing but panic. In the middle of it we have internal enemies. Internal Political enemies SuSu Swamy and his cronies.

Then anti-nationals from Congress, RJD, SP and company including DMK, Commies (of course), TRS, Jagan and TMC. These fellows only consideration is what is in it for me. They could not care two hoots for ordinary folks.

The next category - the 4th pillar of democracy. But the pillar is stinking because the so called watch dogs of democracy - have been pissing in the same place where they are standing. Includes @sardesairajdeep @GargiRawat @PrannoyRoyNDTV fluctuation @navikakumar and Co.

Then there is next breed called the twitter celebs - who blow hot and blow cold. One day they will be on this side, the next they will be fence sitting and out supporting the other side. Their only aim is to get likes, followers and RTs - in other words, Twitter TRPs.

Then we have folks who think they are Lord of all they purvey. Their own house is stinking with pending cases of over 4 decades where cases suffocate with no light or oxygen but are bothered about Govt. supplying oxygen,

பலங்களைத்தரும்.

Good morning. A Parenting Story

Every year Rohan's parents took him to his grandmother's house for the summer break, and they would return home on the same train the next day.

Then, one day Rohan asks his parents:

#SundayThoughts #SundayMotivation

′′ I'm pretty big now, What if, I went to grandma's house alone this year?"

After a brief discussion, parents agree.

Here, they are - standing on the train station, greeting him, giving him one last tip through the window, as Rohan continues to repeat:

′′ I know, you've already told me a hundred times...!"

The train is about to leave and his father whispers:

′′Son, if you suddenly feel bad or scared, this is for you! ′′

And he slips something into his pocket.

Now, the boy is alone, sitting on the train, without his parents, for the first time...

He looks at the scenery through the window that scrolls..

Around him strangers hustle, make noise, enter and exit the compartment, the controller comments him that he is alone..

A person even gives him a sad look...
So the boy is feeling more uncomfortable..

Too much intellect without a sense of self can inflate your ego.

This is why a lot of high IQ people lack social intelligence.

They talk to humans like robots & are baffled when they are resented for it.

This is why the charismatic person who knows less often rises up quicker

'What you smoking bro?? My IQ will be the biggest factor of my success!'

Incorrect.

That's a limiting belief.

I'm gonna shake up your paradigm real quick 👇

You have been conditioned your entire life to believe that IQ score alone will dictate success.

And like most people, we were like 'yea, sure!'

But there's few incorrect thought patterns here

1. Success is subjective.

2. IQ exam insinuates intellect is fixed.

3. Your high IQ won't make others give a fuck, your communication will.

Let's go thru each one

1. Success is subjective

What I consider success may not be success for you.

Success it's a mirror image of where you are & where you want to be.

Aka sense of self.

So measuring success starts from looking within, not an exam.

Unhappy with Everyday Life?
Frothing at the Mouth against oppressive bureaucracy?
Sick of petty tyrants and tin pot dictators?
Tormented by intrusive modern technology?

3. (a) Organizations and Conferences
Insist on doing everything through "channels." Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to, expedite decisions.

4. Make "speeches." Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your "points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.
Never hesitate to make a few appropriate "patriotic" comments.

5. When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study & consideration"
make the committees as large as possible - never less than 5
- Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible
- Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions

The story of Aare Ona Kakanfo Afonja, and the fall of the great Oyo Empire is absorbing. If you're interested in this beautiful history of pre-colonial south western Nigeria, keep a date with me later tonight. 🙏🏾

The Kakanfo and fall of Oyo Empire.
Thread.
Of the 14 Kakanfos so far, the tenures of three of them who were military commanders considerably impacted the history of, first, the Old Oyo Empire, and by extension, the rest of Yorubaland.

The three Kakanfos were Afonja of Ilorin, Kurunmi of Ijaye, and Obadoke Latoosa of Ibadan. The last two of the 14, who were civilians and honorary holders of the title nevertheless impacted the history of Yorubaland, and also the entire Nigerian nation.

Aare-Ona-Kakanfo Afonja:
In the mid-1700s, around 1750 and thereabouts, a powerful Oyo warrior was growing in stature; a man called Afonja. His father was Laderin. Laderin himself was the son of Alugbin, who himself was the son of Pasin.

Alaafin Majeogbe ruled Oyo from 1754 to 1770, and was succeeded by Alaafin Abiodun same year. Abiodun was on the throne for about 19 years, until 1789 when he was murdered by his own son, Aole.
Aole became Alaafin, and ruled from 1789 to 1796.

Y’all... please check on your kids, they might not be okay.

My husband and I had no clue that a major crisis was coming for our 14 year old. She was so good at faking “okay” that we were totally blindsided.

I’m apprehensive about sharing all of this, but other parents

might need to see this and talk to their kids.

To make a long story as short as possible:

On Jan 13th, I came home from work to find my 14 yr old unconscious in a pile of vomit. Thought maybe it was the flu or something at first.

I got her into a bath to clean up and

2/15

she was incoherent, slurring her speech, and not really in control of her body. I put it together and realized she was drunk.

She had never done anything like that. Ever. She then started babbling about being so lonely and wanting to go to sleep and not wake up.

3/15

My heart and stomach dropped.

We took her to the ER for alcohol poisoning and told the triage nurse what she’d been drunkenly mumbling about.

It took almost 24 hours to get her BAL back to normal, then she was transferred to a psychiatric hospital.

4/15

They kept her for 6 days, and we weren’t allowed to see her. Just one 10 minute phone call per day.

They started her on two medications for depression, anxiety, and sleep. She seems to be feeling a bit better since coming home, and now knows that she needs to talk
