Fish consumption reduces depression!!

-
As a Bengali, I have been eating fish from my childhood- Rohu, Katla, Salmon, Herring Crab, Prawns to name a few. Actually, Bengalis are known for Rosogolla and fish.
Whenever I think of cooking some meal, the first thing that comes to my mind is a lunch featuring fish as the main dish. It is very easy to make a dish with Rohu, Katla, Tuna or Salmon which are both healthy and tasty.. Fishes are just YUM!!!!

Why Fish is so good for depression?

Fishes (low fat) have a good amount of  Omega3 fatty acids. Omega3 fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain  and helps in cognitive and better functioning of the brain as the structure of the cell membrane is changed by Omega3 fatty acids. [1]. It influences the activity of serotonin and dopamine. Healthy functioning of these neurotransmitters is important in preventing depression symptoms.
The new meta-analysis of a study supports the link between intake of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids, the kind found in fish, and reduction in major depressive disorder (MDD) [2].

A Trek to Remember- Embracing a Journey of Discovering Nature!!

 Life is an amazing one. Just like the sun rising and setting every day our life goes on sometimes full of highs and sometimes full of lows. In between these highs and lows, homo sapiens tend to get out of the mundane routine- breathing in the calmness to heal the soul, while breathing out the daily responsibilities of ordinary life. Ramanagara trek was a desperate attempt to beat the humdrum and tedious office work and soak into the tranquility. All kudos to the VMware India Employee Engagement team for planning a trekking event to Ramanagara for the employees of VMware to peel away the layers of boredom and bond outside the workplace. There were around 800 colleagues who registered for the event within 2 days and around 130 were the lucky first batch to the wild freedom. And I was one of them! 1 st July, the day of the trek, I woke up bright and early and headed to the office. The excitement of the trek with office friends was giving me chills. We started at 7 and were handed ou

Gardening-An art of Delight

Being born and brought up in the suburbs of the city, from my early childhood I wake up to the birds chirping, Koel singing around and the lush green plants round the house.  Gardening has become my kinda hobby nowadays although still a novice and most of the part is always managed by our Gardening Queen-Ma.  I love pretty flowers and lovely Ornamental plants that can be easily managed by adding some amount of water and a bit of sunlight everyday.  As there is a little space in the front area of our house, the balcony of one of our bedroom has been a perfect place for some pretty ornamental plants and flowers  There also has been some new additions- Snake Plant, Peace Lily, Money Plant, Aglaonema which I feel will add to some more vibrant colours to the balcony. As the gardening season is at its full bloom,in the back courtyard, the lemon plant and the papaya plant have started bearing fresh fruits! The red Ixora locally known as Rangan  has its own vibrancy in our back patio Love how

Amidst all chaos in life, today I felt to write on an occasion that I was a part of. It was a seven months "Baby Shower" ceremony of a couple who are a very good neighbor of mine. I was invited to their house party. It was a small function with their own family members of the would be father's parents, his sister, sister's kids and his wife (the would be mother). Since I am their neighbor, the only outsider they have invited in this COVID situation, naturally to make me feel a part of their family they were very busy with providing me food, sweets, clicking pictures, the kids were playing with me.  I also thought of clicking few pictures of them thus took out my DSLR and started clicking pictures. They started posing, changed dresses and again posed. I was delighted to see the old parents caring so much for their daughter in law, which is very difficult to see in Indian households. The would be father suddenly brought few hand made props and asked every one to pick on
