Changing Tastes
Passion fruits in my backyard (a few months ago)
When I had a chance to dine out, my usual choice was Chinese cuisine in my youth. A little fried rice with some chilly chicken, and possibly a bit of noodles too as a starter. I was particularly fond of Chinese style soups but marriage put an end to that like, less because marriage put me in the soup than because Maggie had a particular aversion towards soups of all sorts. She didn't quite agree that a first-rate soup was far superior to a second-rate book.
Eventually I grew out of the Chinese kitchen probably by Maggie's influence and cultivated a love for the Shillong version of biryani which tasted more like the Chinese fried rice with a piece or two of chicken buried in it than any biryani I ever tasted before or after. The transition was smooth because Shillong's biryani was more Chinese than Indian.
Delhi, later, introduced me to all sorts of North Indian delicacies: Punjabi and Mughalai, particularly. However, our bellies shrank as we grew older and the largesse of the North Indian palate exerted a pressure which they couldn't stomach.
Then we discovered the delights of KFC which remained our favourite until we left Delhi though our visits to the MNC outlets were quite rare. The truth is I had fallen in love with the vegetarianism of the school where I worked. Sawan provided excellent food to the students and staff and the variety of vegetarian dishes it offered was as unforgettable as their taste.
I prefer vegetarian dishes now though Kerala has abandoned its wonderful variety in that category. The Malayali has developed an unhealthy fondness for what is generally (and rather ludicrously) known in India as 'non-vegetarian' food. I'm left longing for Sawan's ingenious combinations of potato with everything from spinach to capsicum.
My cat will frown at me, however, if I give him any vegetarian dish. He just sniffs at it and walks away after giving me a contemptuous look. So I have become a regular customer of the local fish stall. "Lucky cat," people tell me. These people don't know that I share some transcendental bond with the cat: his supercilious contempt for a whole lot of things engendered by our stubborn attachments to very clear likes and dislikes.

Top 9 Sectors Driving the Growth of Industrial Robotics in India
Top 9 Sectors Driving the Growth of Industrial Robotics in India Home / Blogs / Top 9 Sectors Driving the Growth of Industrial Robotics in India
Robotics in India is going through a phase of accelerated growth. But what fuels this acceleration? Is this news about growth a mere token of consolation for the Indian readers/bloggers/audience or is automation indeed trending in the country?
About Being a Token of Consolation
For a clear-cut answer, let us go straight to some serious statistics.
According to the World Robotics Report 2018 by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), India has set a new record with the sale of 3,412 new industrial robot units in 2017—an increase of 30% compared to that in 2016. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was 18% between 2012 and 2017.
Owing to the rapid increase in robot installation since 2009, India stands at the 14 th position in terms of global annual supply (after Thailand and Spain) and at the 13 th position in terms of operational stock (following Canada, Spain and Singapore).
As a result of the Make in India campaign, Robotics companies in India are springing up at an astonishing rate. India now has the third-largest startup technology base in the world.
Believe it or not, India is projected as the Big 3 in the robot race. Malcolm Frank—head of Strategy at Cognizant and author of What to Do When Machines Do Everything —supported this projection by saying "India, after US and China, is the frontrunner in the automation race".
So, with a clear idea that the news about India's exponential growth in robotics is anything but bogus, let us proceed to the next section.
Who's (or Rather What's) Behind the Wheel?
An expanding knowledge bank, eagerness to find easy solutions to difficult problems (agriculture-related suicides, medical imprecision, enraging attacks by neighboring countries, etc.) and a never-seen-before thirst for entrepreneurial ventures must have hastened India's stride toward automation. The country is slowly but steadily pushing its way to the front, stepping over every stumbling block.
Let us take a glance at the sectors driving the growth of industrial robotics in India. Automotive Sector
"The automotive industry will remain the main driver of the increasing robot installations in India"– Junji Tsuda, president of the IFR.
India is expected to become the 4th largest automobile producer in the world by 2020, after China, US and Japan. The industry has registered a CAGR of 14%, with profit scaling to USD 39 billion in 2015–2016. Exports also show a similar growth pattern, with a CAGR of 14% that scales to USD 10.8 billion.
Although factors like robust demand, rising indigenization, export opportunities and recent policies have quite strong roles to play in the swell of the automotive sector, adoption of Robots is the prime force that has made this success invincible.
So, the answer to what's common among the Indian automobile giants Hyundai, Honda and Maruti Suzuki would be—they manufacture great cars, draw huge profit and have robots at their service.
Electric and Electronic Sector
There's an unimaginable fetish for electronic appliances all over the world. In fact, it isn't a fetish anymore; it's a dire need. In India alone, the market for electronics and home appliances is expected to reach a staggering $400 billion by 2020, according to experts.
This upsurge in the Electronics industry can be dedicated to an equivalent increase in the application of robots in the industry, which supports IFR's report stating "growth in robot sales to the Electric and Electronic industry is in part linked to the growth of the industry itself". From cutting metal housings to assembling miniature, fragile components on boards and fro quality testing to the transportation of the finished goods, robots can accomplish myriad tasks with great precision and speed, thus hastening the entire production cycle.
Robotics has become imperative in the Food industry. A report released by ResearchAndMarkets.com anticipates the global food robotics market to reach $3.35bn by 2025, with Asia-Pacific deemed to have the highest CAGR.
Robots are no longer confined to palletizing and packing food, but are slowly entering our kitchens. Mechanical Kitchen, a very recent Bangalore-based startup, is keeping no stones unturned in developing the Mechanical chef—a robot that will cook hundreds of customizable Indian cuisines with ease. Not only this, Chennai homes the first robot-themed restaurant "Robot" that has real robots for waiters. Robots have established their domains in meat processing and dairy industries as well (Automatic Milking Systems and SCARA robots). Apart from these, robots can efficiently carry out cutting and slicing; picking and placing; cake decorating; burger making; pizza making; and washing up. (Graph presents different tasks and the extent to which robots can carry them out.) Healthcare Sector
Ever since Dr. Naresh Trehan conducted India's first fully robotic heart surgery in 2002, robots have become indispensable in Indian operation theatres. Accompanying him in the surgery was minimum invasive surgery expert, da Vinci—the endoscopic coronary bypass system created by Intuitive. Another unique endeavor was from gastrointestinal surgeon Dr. Apurva Vyas of Sterling Hospital, Ahmedabad. With the help of da Vinci, Dr. Vyas performed robotic surgery on a 37-year patient suffering from a rare condition—median arcuate ligament syndrome. This surgery was the first of its kind in India and third in the world. However, history was created when Gujarat-based cardiac surgeon Dr. Tejas Patel operated on a patient with block artery while sitting 32 km away from him—this was the first telerobotic surgery ever.
Besides surgical interventions, medical robotics in India has expanded its reach to medical transportation, prosthetics, sanitation and disinfectants, prescription dispensing and much more.
These are a few of the many success stories of surgical robotics in India. The Indian medical market is adapting robotics at a rather fast pace. With about 50 players in the market, India's surgical robotics domain is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 20% between 2017 and 2025, while the global estimate is 12% ( BIS Research ). This expansion will scale to $350 million, compared with $64.9 million in 2016.
Warehouse Sector
India is one of the key markets for warehouse automation systems in Asia. The Indian market for warehouse automation is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10–12% during 2015–2020 and is expected to reach $3.49 billion by 2020 according to a market survey.
The answer to ' why the sudden surge' is the appetite for improved efficiency, enhanced quality, reduced cost for human labor and competitive attempts of the warehouses at getting through the e-commerce boom. Today, warehouse automation stands as the backbone of important e-commerce players, like Flipkart, Zivame, Myntra, Pepperfry etc., and their delivery partners, like Gati Ltd, DTDC etc.
While Gati Ltd and Flipkart have turned to Pitney Bowes TrueSort for their warehouse automation, GreyOrange, the Indian pioneer in warehouse automation, is pinning the country on a global map.
Military Sector
India is in a state of no war, no peace with two of its neighboring countries since time immemorial, not to mention the incessant terrorist activities that handicap the country every now and then. The current military scenario in India calls for definitive actions. Hence, the Indian Government has thought of bringing autonomous or semi-autonomous robotic systems into the battlefield. As robots can operate under difficult situations and varied environmental terrains, they may present the ideal solution to these attacks.
Currently, robots in the Indian Army are used as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs; commonly called drones), unmanned ground systems (UGS) and landmine/explosive detection/disarmament devices. However, the Government and the Indian Army are interested in harnessing this technology beyond their existing roles. Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), the primary R&D laboratory in Defense, is at work since 1986 and has created myriad robotic systems for the Army, including DRDO Daksh, Wheeled Robot, Snake Robot, Legged Robot, Wall-climbing Robot, Robot Sentry, etc.
This seals the fact that the Indian Defense sector has significant roles to play in the growth of robotics in the country.
The rise in chronic diseases and conditions has led to a huge demand of pharmaceuticals in the market. The industry now uses robots in their production to meet the demand and hasten the process. Robotics plays a vital role in accomplishing complicated processes like R&D, production and packaging in the Pharmaceutical industry. The various benefits of automation in the pharmaceutical domain include: enhancing quality and quantity of drugs; preventing workers' exposure to hazardous environments; eliminating human error; and reducing the potential for human contamination.
With robots assisting the drug-manufacturing process, the global pharmaceutical market is expected to reach USD 119.5 Million by 2021 from USD 64.4 Million in 2016—a CAGR of 13.2% during the forecast period.
These were some of the sectors that have shot up the sale and use of robots in India. But will robots be a medium for the greater good or just a lucrative intervention?
A Farsighted View
Though Luddites have succeeded in painting a dystopian mechanical picture of robotics in our mind, let us link the growth of robotics to the rise of a buoyant society for this one time.
India is primarily an agricultural country; but, ironically, the only thing that's in store for the Indian farmers is never-ending poverty. Robotics has every potential to change that scenario.
With robots, farmers can closely monitor the land, besides obtaining site-specific and timely data about the crop. Robot-assisted precision irrigation systems can help in the efficient use of water by directly watering the roots of the crop. Fertilizer-, pesticide- and weedicide-dispensing robots can protect crops by preventing excessive use of chemicals. Besides these, robots can help with the picking and harvesting of crops. Once harvested, the crops/fruits/vegetables can be thinned or pruned and packaged for marketing with robotic assistance. Robots can, thus, increase the agricultural yield to manifold.
However, it's a yin and yang situation here. According to Trading Economics, GDP from Agriculture in India increased to 5862.40 INR Billion in the fourth quarter of 2018 from 3550.64 INR Billion in the third quarter of 2018. So, Agro-India has tremendous potential for the growth of robotics as well.
Robots can be harnessed to undo what man has done to the environment.
The sight of plastic bottles and packets floating freely in the crystal-clear water of Unmgot River (Dawki) can bring down the spirit of anybody. Littering has only started there; imagine ten years from now—the clearest river will turn into another sad story of human inhabitation. Robots can prevent this! A trash bot named SEARCh has been developed by students of Vivekanand Education Society's Institute of Technology that can skim waste from the water surface. This may be the start of a new road toward clean water bodies.
Autonomous robots can also be used to clean-up hazardous or contaminated environments, such as nuclear test sites, like Pokhran, or PCB-contaminated soil.
UAVs can be used to keep tab on a number of environmental issues, like monitoring illegal human interference (e.g. poaching and deforestation); mapping changes (e.g., river erosion, urbanization etc.); disaster management (pre-assessing natural disasters like flood, fires, volcanoes and landslides); and monitoring other natural factors like migration, number of endangered species and foliation.
If you were avid while reading, you must have learned which sectors drive automation forward and which sectors hold great promise for the future. Probably, now you are able to fathom what sectors need to be focused on to drive forward robotics in India. Play your part in this new age accordingly—if you are someone from the Government make robotics reachable to the public, and if you are a student or an employee grab everything that's on the plate to get upskilled.
You will be glad to know that iNurture, in collaboration with some of the top-notch Universities, is introducing PG Diploma in Robotics . You can catch hold of one of these specializations to get ready for automation.
5 tips to making delicious, flavoursome curries at home

Michelin-starred chef Manjunath Mural brings modern Indian cuisine 'with a light French kiss' to Auckland's épicer. MiNDFOOD catches up with the award-winning chef to discuss the new flavour he brings to the city of sails and his advice for making the perfect home-style curry.
Why is now the time for a new style of Indian dining in Auckland?
"I think diners have also had a huge shift in both wanting to know where their food comes from, and they want to feel good about the choices they make: at épicer we're coupling ethically-sourced proteins with a commitment to organic produce where possible, and we've shunned plastic straws in favour of sustainable wheat straws," says Manjunath Mural, head chef. "Where curry house culture has traditionally offered the option of chicken and beef with your tikka masala, the public is looking to quality of cut, and wants to know there's been a real consideration of protein selection. With market-fresh lobster, tiger prawns and lamb shank on the menu, we made a choice to meet the wants and needs of a well-educated diner."
"The expectations of restaurant-goers in terms of a drinks offering and service has also changed," says Aditya Sudan, owner. "Where once, calls for Kingfisher and a BYO bottle of wine were the norm, guests are looking to cocktails, a considered wine list that compliments the food, and craft beer. Behind our bar we have some of New Zealand's best mixologists serving up highly Instagrammable cocktails, a sommelier-trained GM, and an extensive list of craft beer and wine that pair beautifully with our menu."
"They say 'we eat with our eyes' as well as our tastebuds, and today's diner eats with their phone camera, too," says Manjunath. "Indian cuisine is colourful and vibrant, and with careful considering as to plating and dish construction we've created unforgettable visual experiences that surprise and delight diners (and their followers)."
Tell me about your inspiration and influence when it comes to Indian cuisine?
"Travel has been a huge inspiration: it has significantly impacted the way I plate food," says Manjunath. "I draw from a myriad different cuisines and techniques when I think about how great chefs excite their diners. Creating theatre on a plate and in service creates an experience for our guests that goes beyond flavour. An example: our slow-cooked lamb chop Kashmiri arrives to the table alight, flambeed in India's famous Old Monk dark Rum, rich in vanilla. Executive chef Manjunath Mural of Épicer, Ponsonby's newest opening
What can diners expect when they come to épicer? What does 'with a light French kiss' mean?
We hope diners enjoy discovering how the echoes of Indian spices they know and love can be reinvented with a different approach. Diners should expect a considered wine and beer list that brings out the flavour of their meal, with staff on-hand to make recommendations.
'A light French kiss' is an expression used to explain the French influence on the plating, techniques and ingredients we adopt at épicer. A few examples: our crispy pork belly vindaloo, espuma yoghurt, mushroom and truffle naans, and oatmeal roti.
Do you have tips/ advice for making delicious, flavoursome curries at home?
Here are 5 tips to making delicious, flavoursome curries at home: they're similar to what you'd expect when cooking any recipe; Use fresh produce and meat: talk to your butcher about the best cuts. Use fresh spices (go to your local market), and be generous with them. Don't be shy with the use of Ghee (a much required ingredient in authentic Indian cooking). Add the fresh green herbs at the end for full and added flavour in the curry – cooking at high temperature can kill the flavour of fresh herbs. Last but not the least, slow cooking a curry will always result in a better flavour and a full body as well as meat tenderisation.
How does one get the balance between flavour and heat/spice just right?
Taste as you go. Put a tasting spoon up by the cooker and keep coming back to the dish. Don't be afraid to add more heat, than use coconut milk to cool it down if you need to.
From Brew Hall to defensive miscues, Loons seek improvements at Allianz Field
By Andy Greder / St. Paul Pioneer Press Today at 6:35 p.m. Minnesota United midfielder Jan Gregus (8) prepares for a corner kick against New York City in front of Loons fans during the first half of their April 13 game at Allianz Field in St. Paul. David Berding / USA TODAY Sports
ST. PAUL — Minnesota United wants Allianz Field to be both a cathedral and a fortress.
A cathedral — in soccer parlance — for fans to revere the beautiful game, and a fortress in terms of difficulty for opposing MLS teams to visit and come away with a win.
United has been working to refine both that consumer experience and its sporting operations after the St. Paul stadium debuted April 13 with 19,796 fans watching the Loons settle for a 3-3 draw with New York City.
The Loons (3-3-1) will now face the Los Angeles Galaxy (6-1-0) in the first night game at Allianz Field at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 24. It will kickoff three straight home games, including matches against D.C. United at 12:30 p.m. Sunday and the Seattle Sounders visiting at 7 p.m. May 4. In the stands
United had about 15 run-up events before the stadium opener, but only one training session for the Loons ahead of their first game there. A snowfall of 8 1/2 inches fell on the grass field about 48 hours before kickoff and precluded the Loons from training at the stadium a few days before to the game. A few snowbanks on the West side of the field were the only traces of winter left by game time.
"When a stadium gets opened, there can be a a negative tone to what happened," United CEO Chris Wright said. "There can be a negative tone to what went awry operationally, or something happened that maybe was a deflection from the pride that everybody has in the stadium. To be very honest, we didn't get that."
But Wright said United has a list of 200 items to be improved, all organized on a big spreadsheet. Some of the main objectives come in food and beverage service.
The Brew Hall on the north side of the stadium was a massive success during the Saturday opener, Wright said. The demand, however, was too much for United — which is self-managing the stadium — to keep up with the sales of suds.
Delaware North, United's food and beverage partner, has since spent $25,000 to convert its paper point-of-sale system to a digital operation to speed up sales. The club hopes to have that enhancement up and running by Wednesday's game.
Allianz Field also had shortages of pizza and cuisine from Hot Indian and Brasa. "(They) got completely shellacked," Wright said of the latter two stands. "They were out of food about halfway through halftime. So that is over 400 units per stand. We've got to address that, which they are. That's a good problem to have."
The Allianz Field opener, which also dealt with the stress of nearly 1,000 credentialed staff, media and other officials, also served as the rollout of Minnesota United using 100 percent digital tickets. Wright reports few substantial issues in how that software on MNUFC's app was first adopted. On the field
On the soccer side, Minnesota reverted back to the defensive struggles from its first two years of MLS play, which originated at TCF Bank Stadium. After giving up three goals to New York City, they gave up four to Toronto FC in a 4-3 loss Friday in Ontario.
With that spike, the Loons are on pace to give up more goals than they did in either of their first two MLS seasons. That in itself is remarkable considering they set an MLS record for most goals allowed in consecutive campaigns.
"One of the things that we are searching for is a defensive identity," said Wright, who oversees sporting director Manny Lagos, coach Adrian Heath and the rest of the sporting staff. "We've long been criticized, and rightfully so, for the number of goals that we give up, the way we give up goals, etc.
"I know our coaching staff and players are working very, very hard on changing that," Wright said. "I want Allianz Field to become a place that is very, very difficult for opponents to play in. We've got to seek that, and a big part of that is the mentality of our players and our coaching staff. The mentality of our soccer operations and the mentality of our supporters."
Heath and players such as Ozzie Alonso, Michael Boxall and Brent Kallman have chalked up the defensive lapses to individual errors or a lull that has come in the moments after one goal is scored. Against New York City and Toronto, the Loons gave up two goals over a few short minutes.
"We are trying to eradicate individual mistakes," Heath said Monday. "It's what we've spoke about. I don't think there has been anything wrong with the collective positioning of the group, but individuals are making errors that's costing us dearly every single game."
Loons players said the first game at Allianz Field was difficult because the stadium was new to them, too.
"We've got to go on and make it our home now," Heath said. "It's early days, I know, but we've got to make it a fortress."
Simply fabulous!
This hotel is one of the loveliest anywhere. The fact that all rooms have a balcony with views of the Taj Mahal is just one of the fantastic aspects of the place. The moment you walk into the spectacular entrance past enormous fountains you know you are someplace special. The rooms are large and beautifully decorated and the service is fantastic. The staff are all dressed in elaborate turbans, with huge smiles and quick to meet any needs. The dining room was amazing. We ate in the continental restaurant for dinner and every bite was delicious. We even were treated to a full tour of the kitchen after complimentary round of sorbet. We met ALL of the kitchen staff, who also had big welcoming smiles and seemed proud of their spotless and beautiful kitchen, complete with a separate space for chocolate preparation. Breakfast was a wonderful buffet and they then brought us an Indian specialty plate to make sure we tried local cuisine. It was amazing.nThere was a dance presentation around the pool before dinner and the grounds are completely over the top. nThe best part of all, beyond the service, rooms, flute player in the lobby, food, etc. was the fact you can take the hotel golf cart to the entrance of the Taj, making it especially easy to visit both at sunset when it turns pink and at sunrise, when few tourists are present and you can witness the inlaid stone sparkling in the morning sun. We did not want to leave and wish we could have stayed longer. It is expensive and worth every penny.
Decoding food buying behaviour of consumers
April 23, 2019 SHARE
This section of the IMRB food report attempts to unravel and understand the changing food & grocery consumption behaviour on the basis of key consumer insights and understand the emerging trends that will shape the future and profitability of food retail in India.
Food is the most primal of human needs and, especially in the Indian culture, food forms the core of our lifestyles. In this section, we move forward to the business of food in India – with nearly 12 million kirana stores which in many ways are the backbone of the rural economy.
Quite obviously, food is the largest retail consumption category in India, accounting for 33 per cent of the overall consumption expenditure. It is also the largest opportunity area, especially in times when market dynamics are changing dramatically and consumer behaviour is no longer generic.
In today's market, anything is possible – a grocery store where you don't have to stand in a check out queue, where you don't need to fish for your wallet to pay and where all that you want gets automatically delivered to your shopping basket, rather than tediously looking through racks and racks of SKUs at the store! Technology is changing shopping behaviour across categories in India.
The old paradigms are changing every day and already the definition of 'going' shopping has assumed several meanings in an urban shopper's life. The first big change is the fading boundary between the brick and mortar and digital world. The shopper is moving seamlessly between the physical and digital world, and the mobile is fast becoming the central processing unit of her life! She is buying more and more food online – grocery buying on the internet has grown by 14% over last year. Over all F&G e-tailing is the fastest growing category in India.
However, while e-commerce is growing, brick and mortar continues to be the mainstay of food retailing in India. And clearly, brick and mortar is here to stay. The powerful sensory experiences of visiting a physical store has a great impact on the purchase behaviour – the smell of bread, the sight of fresh fruits and vegetables, the excitement of unplanned discovery, and the comfort of human interaction cannot be undermined.
However, this does not imply that all is well – brick and mortar F&G stores of the future need to be clearly positioned, be relevant and differentiated from other retail channels. The consumer's enthusiasm to visit the store is directly proportional to their expectations being met – the shopping experience, store design, service, variety and uniqueness of the product.
We are almost moving to "me-tailing" as the newest format of customised, bespoke shopping experiences of the future customers in urban india.
In the hitherto small category of modern format stores, convenience seems to be the biggest driver of visitation – the fact that all categories and brands are available under one roof. It is apparent that "location convenience", "customised services" and "easy goods return/exchange facilities" drive a customer towards kirana stores while "product choice", "efficient store-management" and "value-enhancing services" attract customers towards modern retailers.
Many consumers, in fact, equate grocery shopping to be an enjoyable activity that enhances their sense of self and creates positive feelings.
Some older consumers look forward to their monthly/ weekly grocery shopping trip to the kirana store as an important social activity, rather than just another chore. Technology can create convenience, but may not substitute a real shopping experience. Kiranas, in fact, have emerged the biggest winners in the race towards Modern Retail. While international and national biggies experimented with their store formats, Kiranas quietly and swiftly redeemed themselves by forging stronger engagements with consumers. So much so that today the retail giants in India are tying up with local kiranas or neighbourhood stores to boost their operations.
Women, mothers particularly, continue to be ánnapurnas', shouldering the onus of nutrition for Indian families. The only shift in their behaviour is the near perfect juggle between time consuming home-made food and the quick and convenient ready to eat/ packaged food. It is also an ongoing tussle between health and convenience. And while she goes food shopping, the factors influencing her food & grocery shopping are: budget, promotional strategy, festival offers, discounts, availability, billing speed and ambience.
As part of IMRB's retail practice we continuously connect with the physical and online marketplace to understand the consumer from the consumption and psychographic point of view, and by looking and analysing the trends. We look at how consumers are shopping, track their preferences and offer insights on how retailers and CPG companies can use these insights to improve the shopping experience, drive increased footfalls and sales across channels. We also examine this data to determine the trends – how shopping behaviour is changing and how it affects the future of F&G retail in India.
Some of these trends are predictable and in line with the conventional wisdom, like, for example, we know that in absolute terms, the amount spent on food increases with a rise in income, etc.
However, there are other trends that indicate paradigm shifts in the consumer buying behaviour , like, for example, the change in the food palate of the Indian consumer, and the passionate adoption of 'foreign'foods in daily life.
A few key trends are discussed below: A new breed of bold & experimentative consumers has emerged
– Indian consumers are becoming more and more indulgent with food (and vegetables), and they are experimenting with new and foreign cuisines; they are seeking variety and are open to international brands. They profess to enjoy foreign food and are ready to pay more for premium or organic food items. This is a huge shift from the last decade.
– As a result, new foods like quinoa, different kinds of brands, etc, are now available at regular supermarkets and large kiranas today and they have an increasing shopper base.
– Consumption of new and exotic food items, salad dressings, syrups, etc., have gone up dramatically over the last year.
The future is going to be HEALTHY! Indian consumers are now conscious of the effect their busy lifestyle has on their health. They equate fast food with junk and are showing a marked preference towards branded packaged food, fruit juices, health drinks, low fat , organic food, etc. Packaged fruit juice consumption as a category has grown 15% over the last year. In order to maintain a healthy diet, consumers are limiting the intake of high calorie and high cholesterol food items. They are more likely to indulge in new food items, which they think can also address their health concerns.
Convenience is now the new driver of consumption: Rapid urbanisation, demanding lifestyles have increased time-starved consumers exponentially and the segment that values convenience has grown – consumers are more likely to seek for convenience in their consumption or shopping for food items, over other considerations. This has led to a rising incidence of consumption of food items like ready-to-eat foods, processed foods and packaged foods like frozen paneer, vegetables, etc. The consumption of packaged pasta alone has gone up by 28% over last year! Even for eating out, there is a conspicuous growth of consumers visiting shopping malls for eating out at Food Courts than stand-alone high street restaurants/ joints.
The cocktail of old and new with a twist!
– Food products dominate the lifestyle occasions in Indian life and the combined 'food' category accounts for 29% share of the festival wallet.
– Packaged sweets, Juices, Fruits etc. are the most preferred gifting items; chocolates is becoming a new 'mithai' though contributed mainly by the north and east.
Old learnings shaping new models The digital natives are representing the new consumption base in India; online shopping is a deeply embedded behaviour in these new customers, a fact which will define how food retailing will take shape in the coming years. It will be critical to include digital touch points along the entire path to purchase. From mom and pop kiranas to super markets, hypermarkets to online grocers, Indian food shopping has slowly arrived full circle with a learning that home delivery is the only constant. Home delivery of groceries and other daily staples like milk was a well-established tradition in Indian families and even though food shopping has become complex, involving several channels, a new model has emerged where consumers can visit the retailer's website, use an app and pick up the phone to order at home.
Men are from MARS, no longer! Family grocery shopping has been the accepted domain of women for the longest time; however, modern, social and demographic shifts have challenged traditional gender roles within the family unit. Indian men are now engaged in grocery shopping more freely and frequently There has been a 4x increase in male shoppers (Y-o-Y ) compared to 3x growth in women. 69% of the online F&G shoppers in India are in the age group of 25-34 years, and more than half of them are men.
To conclude, the Indian Food Consumer is hungry and the appetite is growing voraciously. Growing disposable incomes, exposure and ambition is breeding even more consumption. The global recession seems to have had little impact on the urban Indian shopper's consumption habits and her food shopping and consumption behaviour has only evolved.
The emergence of new channels and the combined growth of all of them in tandem is a testament to how hungry the consumer is. What this really means is that convenience is king. And the consumer has to be at the centre of the food business strategy, which should allow her to decide when, where, and how to shop. The consumer should be able to order anytime, anywhere, and from any device. Consumers should have the privilege to get their purchases in the store, at a separate delivery location, or through home delivery; they should have the freedom to decide their own shopping and delivery or pick-up windows to fit their packed schedules; and to be able to return items seamlessly.
The shopping behaviour of the future will be defined by many micro moments leading to the zero moment of truth. Winning at the zero moment will be the new measure for success in Food Retail.

Kare-Kare
tofu vegetables (best with eggplant)
I'll talk about other suitable vegetables which you can consider later to make your vegetarian kare kare.
Next, most of the flavour comes from ground peanuts and onions. Also, it is often coloured with a condiment called annatto .
Remember to serve it hot! That's when kare kare is at its best. If you are looking for even more flavour, then I have a handy trick in mind. Keep the stew in the fridge for a day or two so that the flavours fuse together. You'll see that once you reheat the kare kare, it will be even better and the taste profile will be even more intense!
As a starter, you can also consider serving taro laing or mie ayam (a traditional soup with noodles).
When I heard there's a Filipino restaurant opening in London, called Romulo Cafe , I jumped at the opportunity to learn more about the culture and food.
Director Rowena Romulo and head chef Lorenzo Maderas graciously invited me to do a three recipe photo shoot and needless to say it was great fun and an enlightening experience.
history of Filipino cuisine
It is said that the first version of this stew came from the province of Pampanga . Pampanga is known as the culinary heart of Filipino cuisine. Other historians argue that this dish actually is from Manilla.
In a historical sense Filipino cuisine reminds me of South Africa. The latter's food is heavily influenced by the Dutch, who invaded the country, followed by the British. During the colonial period the French, Greek and Italians came. Cape Malay cooking hails from the Indo-Asian slaves that were brought along from Bengal, Java and Malaysia. South Africa also has a large Indian community and, of course, there are the indigenous people with their own way of cooking as well.
Philippines' history stretches back much further though. Thousands of years ago the Chinese and Taiwanese moved into the area known as the Philippines, which is where its ample use of soy, tofu, bean sprout and fish sauce comes from. The Philippines has an ideal climate for rice, hence the plethora of rice and noodle dishes. Trade took place with Malaya and Java, which introduced new food and cooking methods. Spices were imported from India and Arabia too. In the 16th century the Spanish, with some Mexican influence, came along with their tomatoes, chilli peppers, corn and potatoes which added a completely new element to this already eclectic cuisine. kare kare oxtail
Generally speaking, the stew is made with oxtail. Usually, the skin is left on. The tail is cut into small pieces. Sometimes up to 2-inch pieces. Also, it is very common to include ox tripe for extra flavour. You should boil these until they are completely tender.
The best way to prepare an oxtail kare kare or any kare kare verison with meat is with a slow cooker. Usually, you must wait ages for the meat to tenderise. However, with the slow cooker or even a pressure cooker, the meat will tenderise completely in no time. Let's be honest, tough oxtail doesn't sound too appetising does it? beef kare kare recipe
If you don't want to use oxtail, but still wish to include that rich umami flavour of the meat, then substitute with beef. You can use beef cheeks or beef chuck. Just remember to slice them up into smaller pieces. pork kare kare
Similarly, you can also use pork. For the best version with pork, make sure to use pork hocks or pork shanks. You might also know this version as pata kare kare. vegetarian kare kare recipe
To make this a vegetarian version of kare kare, you should consider these typical ingredients: green beans

General Myers Confirmation Hearing
http://emperors-clothes.com/9-11backups/mycon.htm
[Posted 14 November 2001]
Senate Armed Services Committee
U.S. Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) Holds Hearing On Nomination of General Richard Myers to be Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff
Speaker: U.S. Senator Carl Levin (D-Mi), Chairman
LEVIN: Today, in New York City and across the Potomac in Virginia, our fellow citizens continue to sift through the ruins two days after the most deadly and cowardly attack ever against the United States. The terrorists behind this horror sought to destroy more than structures, they sought to destroy the American spirit. But those who unleashed this horror now understand you have failed. Through our rage at these attacks on our people and on our free institutions shines a focused determination to recover our loved ones and friends who are still lost, and to assist their loved ones in coping with the devastating void into which they have been plunged. Our fury at those who attack innocence is matched by our determination to protect our citizens from more terror, and by our resolve to track down, to root out, and relentlessly pursue the terrorists and those who would shelter or harbor them.
Two nights ago, Senator Warner and I joined Secretary Rumsfeld, General Shelton, and General Myers at the Pentagon, and witnessed first-hand that determination. Brave men and women were attending to the victims and fighting the fires -- all just a few feet away from loved ones and friends who were still missing or presumed killed. Many of them have been working non-stop ever since the attack. America salutes them as the genuine heroes and heroines that they are. And our prayers are with the victims and the families and friends who grieve for them.
For every person who has perpetrated a barbaric act, thousands of Americans have engaged in acts of extraordinary courage. Those acts are still unfolding, and will unfold in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
Debate is an inherent part of our democracy. And while our democratic institutions are stronger than any terrorist attack, in one regard we operate differently in times of national emergency. We set aside our differences and we ask decent people everywhere to join forces with us to seek out and defeat the common enemy of the civilized world.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Hugh Shelton, assured the nation two nights ago that America's armed forces are ready. General Shelton has served in the demanding position of chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for the past four years with great distinction. The nation and every man and woman who wears our country's uniform owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude.
And now, General Richard Myers is ready to assume the duties that General Shelton so magnificently shouldered. The president has nominated General Myers to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Shelton's term expires on September 30. This committee must act on General Myers nomination, and we will do so.
The tragic events of the last two days vividly remind us again of the importance of this position. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the highest ranking military officer in the United States armed forces, and is the principal military adviser to the president, the National Security Council, and the secretary of defense.
General Myers is uniquely well-qualified to serve as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He is a decorated Vietnam veteran who knows the dangers faced by our men and women in uniform. He has led U.S. forces in Japan and in the Pacific with a steady hand. He has served as assistant to the chairman and as commander-in-chief, U. S. Space Command. Since February, 2000, he has served as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the nation's second-highest ranking military officer, at times acting as chairman in General Shelton's absence. General Myers is, I believe, the first vice chairman to be nominated as chairman.
At times when we are reminded almost daily of the dangers to our military personnel and the sacrifices of their families, we particularly want to welcome General Myers' wife, Mary Jo. Mrs. Myers, we welcome you. We thank you for your service to the nation. You, too, will be called upon for sacrifice, in addition to the extraordinary sacrifice which you and the family have already undertaken. This is no ordinary time. This will be no ordinary nomination hearing.
As vice chairman, General Myers has been personally involved in the rescue efforts at the Pentagon and in guiding the United States armed forces during these difficult days. He is in a unique position to update the committee and the country on the situation, and we have asked him to do so.
General Myers, we welcome your testimony on the status of the efforts at the Pentagon, the extent of the damage and loss of life, the role that the U.S. military forces are playing in support of rescue and relief efforts in New York City, and what steps this nation might take to strengthen our ongoing efforts to combat the scourge of terrorism.
General Myers has responded to the committee's pre-hearing policy questions and our standard questionnaire. Without objection, these responses will be made part of the record. The committee has received the required paperwork on General Myers, and will be reviewing that paperwork to make sure that it is in accordance with the committee's requirements.
I just want to make two very brief announcements before I call on Senator Warner, and then on our two colleagues who will be introducing General Myers.
First, at the conclusion of our open session, Senator Warner and I have determined that we will go into a members-only, classified session in the Intelligence Committee Hearing Room, SH 219. General Myers will be there with other members from the uniformed staff. Also, Secretary Wolfowitz will be joining us at that time.
Secondly, we are making arrangements for bus transportation -- I want to thank Senator Warner for his leadership in this -- for members of the committee who would like to go to the Pentagon at approximately 6:30 this evening. There are a number of members who have made their own arrangements to go over the last couple of days. Senator Warner and I fully concurred and thought it would be helpful to arrange for transportation for those who might wish to go to the Pentagon at approximately that time, 6:30 this evening. We will be back to you as soon as possible with details about the precise time and place. It will be after our executive session at a place to be determined.
Senator Warner?
WARNER: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
And I do hope as many members who can will take this opportunity. Just moments ago, I left the site and I have been on it twice now.
WARNER: And General Myers, I want to thank you for taking the time to go up there today -- we met at the site together -- and particularly, General, that you took the time to recognize the hard- working people there, primarily from Virginia and Maryland, the District of Columbia; fire, rescue, Red Cross, engineers.
It's a remarkable scene, I say to my colleagues, and I think no matter how many times we viewed this on television, those of you who can avail themselves of the opportunity to see not only the site, the work going on, but the precise manner in which that plane was directed at the building.
So Mr. Chairman, I've just received a call from the White House. I am to meet with the president at 3:10, so I'm going to put my statement in for the record. I thank Mrs. Myers, as the chairman said, for your career opportunities, not only for yourself, but for your distinguished husband. Without doubt, it's a team effort. So often in the military, fortunately, it's a team effort.
So if you'll excuse me, I'm going to depart. I hope to return in time for your executive committee hearing.

Ben Novack (1907–1985) was an American hotelier who developed the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel.

Biography
Novack was born to a Jewish family,  the son of Sadie and Hyman Novick. He had three older siblings: Miriam (born 1903), Joseph (born 1904), and Lillian (born 1905). His father was an immigrant from Russia who worked as a clothing cutter before opening his own clothing store; after the store failed, the family moved to the Catskill Mountains where he operated a hotel in the Borscht Belt. After his father's death, he operated the hotel with his brother but disagreements led him to move to New York City where he Americanized his name to Novack and ran a haberdashery; the store also failed after he had a falling out with his partner.

In 1940, Novack and his wife moved to Miami Beach with $1,800 they had from liquidating his clothing stores assets. At the time, Miami Beach was thriving despite the Great Depression thanks to it having become the winter playground of the rich. He raised additional funds and purchased the 111-room Monroe Towers Hotel which turned into a lucrative investment once World War II started and the U.S. government used Miami as a training ground for 100,000 soldiers that required basic living space. With his earnings, he bought out his partners and went on to purchase four more hotels including the Cornell and the Atlantis. In 1949, he partnered with Harry Mufson and opened the Sans Souci Hotel designed by Morris Lapidus.

In 1952, Novack and Mufson purchased the Harvey Firestone mansion for $2.3 million; the partnership soon collapsed after Novack deceived Mufson and set about to have himself as the sole owner on the deed. Novack raised additional funds from a diverse range of investors including Ben Jaffe (who would go on to build Fontainebleau Las Vegas); and mobsters Sam Giancana and Joseph Fischetti; he again used Morris Lapidus as the architect. In 1954, the 1,250-room Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel opened. Steve Wynn (who would marry Novack's great-niece) commented that the Fontainebleau created the concept of the hotel as a show. His estranged partner, Mufson, would go on to build the Eden Roc Miami Beach Hotel immediately to the north of the Fontainebleau also using Lapidus as architect. In 1977, the Fontainebleau filed for Federal bankruptcy protection. In 1978, Stephen Muss bought the Fontainebleau for $27 million. In 2005, Muss sold the Fontainebleau to Donald Soffer's, Turnberry Associates for $165 million.

Personal life
Novack married twice. His first wife was Bella Novack; they adopted a son, Ronald Marc Novack, before divorcing in 1951. In 1952, he married Bernice Mildred Stempel, a model born to a Jewish father and Roman Catholic mother of Irish descent. In 1956, Bernice had a son, Ben Novack Jr.  Novack died of heart and lung failure on April 6, 1985. His great-niece, Andrea Hissom, is married to Steve Wynn. Ben and Joseph Novack were brothers, Joseph was Andrea's grandfather, making Ben Sr her granduncle.

In 2009, his wife Bernice and his son, Ben Novack Jr. were murdered three months apart. Narcy Novack (née Narcisa Véliz Pacheco; born 1947), Ben Jr.'s estranged wife, was convicted of orchestrating the murders and, after a highly publicized trial, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

IS THE `BAD GIRL' OF MONACO FINALLY READY FOR MARRIAGE?
Is the reformed bad girl of Monaco ready for marriage?
Princess Stephanie had her two children baptized last month, paving the way for her to wed their father, live-in boyfriend Daniel Ducruet, according to French press reports.The principality's press office confirmed Wednesday that Louis, 21/2, and 11-month-old Pauline were baptized April 17 in a private ceremony at Monaco's Church of St. Devote.
Reports of impending marriage were "more rumors, just rumors," the press office said.
The event was a reconciliation of sorts between Stephanie, a rock star-turned-bathing suit designer, and her father, Prince Rainier, who reportedly never approved of his daughter's relationship with Ducruet.
Ducruet met the princess while he was her bodyguard.

DESIGNER fashion label Burberry BURNS €31million worth of clothes every year, it has been reported.
The upmarket clothing line, famous for its checked design, has destroyed €101m of products in the past five years, The Times reports.
Insiders claim it does it to protect the brand, and to prevent it being sold at discount prices on the "grey market" to the "wrong people", the paper reported.
Burberry, which is valued at €10.7m by Forbes, says it uses special incinerators which harness the energy.
The Times claims shareholders are unhappy and says one asked why the unsold products were not offered to the company's private investors, at a meeting last week.
Burberry said it took the issue of waste "extremely seriously".
The company said the practice of destroying excess stock was common across the retail industry.
The report also suggests the value of its waste is up by half in the last two years.
You could buy 20,000 of its notoriously expensive trench coats with the €31m destroyed items.
Burberry has featured famous models including Sienna Miller, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Romeo Beckham in its campaigns.
Its lines are traditionally mega expensive, with its cheapest rucksack retailing for €1060 in the Far East.
Burberry has been contacted for comment.

Here's Exactly How The GOP Tax Bill Targets The Most Vulnerable Americans
Drew Angerer/Getty Images News/Getty Images
By Courtney Vinopal
In the early hours of the Saturday morning, the Senate passed a bill that will deliver sweeping changes to the American tax code. Every Republican except for Bob Corker voted yes on the legislation, while Democratic senators all came out against it. Now that the tax bill is almost certain to be signed into law, legislators will have to deal with its impacts on their constituents — and many experts say that sick and elderly Americans are likely to suffer the most.
The bill, which is more than 429 pages long, was given to representatives mere hours before the Senate was set to vote on it. Tucked into page 94 of the tax bill is a decision that will likely deliver huge changes to the U.S. health care system — the elimination of the individual mandate that requires most Americans to purchase health care plans. President Trump has called the individual mandate "highly unpopular," and efforts to eliminate it have been largely supported by Republicans.
Republican senators Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Tom Cotton led the push to include the elimination of the individual mandate in the tax bill. Cotton, a strong supporter of the president, argued that repealing the mandate would pay for tax cuts for working families, and protect these individuals from being fined "for not being able to afford insurance that Obamacare made unaffordable in the first place."
Emily Gee, a health care economist with the Center For American Progress, says the decision to eliminate the individual mandate is part of Republicans' nearly decade-long struggle to dismantle Obamacare. Without an incentive to purchase plans, healthier Americans will enroll in health care programs, and premiums will go up. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that 13 million could lose health insurance over the next 10 years as a result of the decision, saving the government more than $300 billion.
"This is really about responsibility," Gee tells Bustle. "Everyone has a responsibility to get covered, and insurance markets work best if there are both sick and healthy people in the insurance pool," adding that these health care costs are not imagined — someone has to pay for them at the end of the day. Amy Siskind, the president of the New Agenda, summed up the elimination of the individual mandate as "an Obamacare repeal."
Even Republican senators like Susan Collins and John McCain — who previously resisted efforts from the GOP to gut Obamacare — came around to vote yes on the health care bill. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who previously voted no on her party's health care bills, voted yes on this tax bill, likely because it authorizes drilling on Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
The elimination of the individual mandate is not the only part of the tax bill that will affect some of the country's most vulnerable citizens. For senior citizens, this bill could spell disaster. Because it would raise the deficit to about $1.5 trillion, a number of cuts to government programs will be automatically triggered, notably Medicare, which provides health care treatment for Americans 65 and older.
Cuts to Medicare will total about $25 billion over the next fiscal year alone. In the long term, the deficit will also force cuts to Medicaid and Social Security, two other programs that elderly people rely on heavily, in addition to low-income and disabled individuals.
The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) came out against the bill, noting in a letter to the Senate that in addition to gutting funding from programs that affect elderly people, the bill could cause tax hikes for millions of senior citizens over the next ten years, writing that "even today's 65+ as well as those who turn 65 by 2027 who benefit initially may end up paying higher and ever increasing taxes soon thereafter."
The effects of the tax bill might not be visible overnight, but it is clear from experts' analysis that vulnerable Americans — especially the sick and the elderly — could feel its effects long into the next decade.

"At least, he was honest with me?" "Put down the false intimacy of emotional blackmail.
by Rachel 2015/05/17
Have you ever heard of "emotional blackmail"? We all know that the love of blackmail is definitely not love, but when we are in a relationship, we often can't see the truth.
Recently do not know is the mercury began to prepare retrograde, or the universe run out of trouble, around a lot of people are lovelorn.
He told me that it was all my fault. I said to break up, he never meant it. 」
In front of me, K put makeup cry spent, looking at his increasingly gaunt face, my heart and distressed and angry. But at the same time, I have a feeling that the play has lasted for the First century, from the heart. I don't know how many times I've told him, and it's no pity that I broke up with this man. The breakup is indeed K, yes, but this k's ex-boyfriend, but with "honest" this is a very moral thing, manipulated the feelings of K.
(Photo source )
K was only a good friend when he found out that he had Sampans with other women, even to bed, and claimed he was single. In such cases K proposed to break up, but the other side of the responsibility of all pushed a dry two net. "Break Up is you mention, I can only passively bear" he again as the victim's identity, let K was surrounded by guilt, pain unceasingly. (Extended reading: love easy to break up difficult!) Practice facing the art of breaking up
"I was thinking maybe I could get back together with him, at least he was honest." "K mouth of honesty, referring to his ex-boyfriend frankly said:" I love you, but I want to keep our relationship confidential, just because I hope others will like me. "
"At least, he was honest with me?" 」
From small to large, we are learning the moral of this matter, we are trained to be able to distinguish between morality and defeat in the two things. "Cheating", "Jealousy", "hatred", "honesty", "kindness", "humility", morals. So we are always being fooled by morals in our relationships, hurting others and being hurt by others.
Socrates argued with Aussi de Mos that it was immoral to deceive. At first, Aussi de Mos was quite sure that deception was immoral, but Socrates said, "If a friend wanted to kill himself, would it not be immoral if you hid his knife?" "Aussi de Mos found that such a situation, but is a kind of so-called moral." Morality and immorality have never been divided into two separate laws.
In the relationship, when you find that the other party unreservedly to the things he did to expose to you, like to play in the casino 21 o'clock in a wager all the chips, plainly tell you, I am so, the rest of this, you want to. Then you begin to be puzzled by the word honesty, and you begin to question your conscience and feel that you cannot betray the person who is completely calm and defenseless to you.
"Honesty is the best trick for the highest number of swindlers," he said. When there is no false truth, only honest one can blur the eyes of others, lead the world tears, let them not see clearly. Honesty is no longer related to the conscience of the individual, but to the conscience of others. Would have been, because my conscience spoke so honestly; now is, I am honest, so the conscience of others speaks. 」
I particularly like Hu Qingjing's collection of essays, because they are so true and bloody human nature. when K's ex-boyfriend openly said his honesty, is tantamount to unloading all the responsibility, will decide the right heavy pressure on K body. And if K chooses to leave at this time, it seems to betray an honest man.
Emotional blackmail, from the perpetrator to the victim.
K's ex-boyfriend, besides distorting honesty, is an emotional blackmail. If you ask me, in this world, what kind of person best not to approach, then the emotional blackmail is definitely far away from the list of the first place. (same field Gayon: did you think wrong today?) Eight thoughts in love short circuit )
"The quickest way to make bones is to" shirk responsibility "for emotional blackmail (emotional blackmailer), and it's all right to push it to the blackmail person, no matter what the frustrating problem. Now that we have the guilt mechanism, we ask ourselves, "Did I hurt someone?" "Then most people will naturally feel guilty about being accused of hurting someone, and ignoring the fact that it's going to happen," he said. "said Susan Forward, a pathological therapist, in the book.
"It's all your fault, you've made me so miserable, and now you're leaving me?" 」
"Never mind, I just don't have anyone to love ..."
"If you really love me, how could you do this to me?" 」
"You are really good selfish, I have already paid so much for you, you have not thought for me?" 」
"The last time I sent you so expensive things, you should return me, right?" 」
Everyone has a very important and intimate person, but if we or each other, the intimacy as a bargaining chip, to carry out the equivalent exchange of love, we are in exchange for the absolute guilt and pressure. K's ex-boyfriend, know K still love him, so after doing so much harm K, and vice versa with "It is you to break up" this matter, his identity by the perpetrator converted to the victim, magnify their injury, so that K produces strong guilt, and then to achieve their goal of compound. (see together: The more love the more cautious? The insecurity in Love )
It is very important to understand that emotional blackmail is happening, and when we find it, we have the opportunity to rethink right and wrong. Perhaps, we are always vulnerable in front of our lovers and family, we are always longing to be loved, and perhaps, in many cases, we will become emotional blackmail in our unconscious. But always remind yourself that blackmail is never the love you want. And the person who is blackmailing you is not your choice, the right person.
True honesty: I want to work hard with you, will you?
"The Smiling hair/falling asleep in my hand/This moment is like eternity/at the edge of fantasy/Maybe one day/we are no longer in love/But hope this feeling/stay in the heart/about loving you/I love you Now/About love/My heart a lot/about myself/I have enough/about each other/I'm still learning/about the future/I have no answer/I can't promise --Zhang Zhenyue on the matter between us
I have always felt Zhang Zhenyue this song, very very frank, and very very cute. If you ask me, if some honesty is false, then what kind of honesty, is true? In my mind, the true, not the deception of honesty, should be in the confession after all, but also to express the desire to work together.
Like this song, I can not guarantee everlasting, but I am willing to learn, I am willing to practice, I am willing to at this moment, this moment, take hold of your hand. Such honesty is not "I am this, then what do you want?" "The hypocrisy of honesty, but such sincere honesty:" I admit my fragile, but I am willing to change, but also want to accompany me to go with the people, is you. 」
In most relationships, we are attracted to each other, at that time we still can not see the true appearance of the other side, until the fever faded, we in every ordinary day, practice to get along, balance the relationship, see each other's good and bad, and then choose to go on, or treasure good-bye.
I never believed in a couple of things like a perfect couple or a true man/woman. "When you choose your partner, you also select a set of problems that must be overcome." "Psychologist Dan Wile has had this kind of talk, and I think that is the true nature of love." Each relationship, there will be a relative solution to the subject, no matter how hard after each other, there is no way to overcome your problems, at least, can do a clear conscience, with a blessing, give each other a sincere smile. (Extended reading: mutual dislike or sweet life?) Gender psychologist tells you the key to a happy relationship
"Is it because you are more courageous?" 」
Late at night, I got a call from K. His voice choked and said he was in pain, and he asked me when the pain would end. I said, no one is going to say that. It may be one months, three months, or maybe a year or two, but we will always have to learn to walk through this by ourselves, not through a new love, not by grasping driftwood, but by our own strength.
In the face of a relationship that has produced chemical changes that cannot be turned back, we can change only ourselves. No one has the right to change another person, and no one can successfully change another person in a situation where they don't want to change. Because change does not change, grow or not, go forward or backward, all only own can decide. The other side is so, oneself is likewise. Therefore, we can absolutely decide that only our own changes.
On the other end of the line, I heard him faint and said, "Is it because you are more courageous?" 」
No, it's because I've walked the same road with you. And I came to myself and realized how powerful it was to make people so that I believed that you could do it. I'm not sure I'll be able to come across the same thing in the future without a scratch, but at least I've got the Look in the mist, I know how deep the black hole is, and I know that no matter how long the path of recovery is, the end is always there for me. And the most precious thing is that you will know how to love and be loved when you cross the finish line.
