Rainbow

A rainbow is an arch of light exhibiting the spectrum colors in their order, caused by drops of water falling through the air. It is seen usually in the sky opposite to the sun at the close of a shower and also in the spray of waterfalls. In the brightest or primary bow; often the only one seen, the colours are arranged with the red outside. Above the perfect bow is a secondary bow; in which the colours are arranged in reverse order; this bow is dimmer, because of a double reflection withing the drops.

Composting of household organic waste

Composting bin can be made at home from old plastic buckets, barrels by poking holes on them for aeration or one can purchase the ready made composting bins.

All types of kitchen organic wastes can be dumped for composting into the bin.

Carbon and Nitrogen ratio should be 25:1 in degrading the waste. If the waste contains more Nitrogen than Carbon then it can be balanced by adding rice husk, ash, saw dust etc. Water content of the waste in composting bin should be about 50-60%.

Spirituality and Children

O God Help Us !

It is said that children are the backbone of our society. They are images of God. Most of us work hard for our children and would do anything for them. However, there remains the painful fact that some children suffer abuse by their parents, some are in serious conflict with them and some take to drugs. 

Can spirituality be one of the solutions to the problem of today's youth? A lot of parents want their children to attend church meeting or Sunday school. Some children go along with this wish and some resent it strongly. In the latter case, this also becomes and issue of prestige.
