RUMA ACHER COOK 99I love cooking and so I always take part in kitchen activities in my school. I also like to learn things by myself. Therefore I decided to learn cooking by myself. Next time when my family want to eat something I can cook by myself. I can cook for my friends when they come to my home. I like to cook different kinds of dishes. I like Chinese food. However, I like Sichuan food better because it has spicy taste. It is my favorite food. I like to eat chilli. I can’t eat them when they are not cooked. I like to try Sichuan food when I can feel the Sichuan spicy taste.

RUMA ACHER COOK 99It was in the trip to Europe in my MBA exchange program (when I was 22) that I really had a self made meal. As I was rather pampered by mom’s excellent cooking back home, European food never seemed appetizing enough for my desi palette. And being a bong, a meal without rice is no meal at all. So one month into the MBA exchange, I decided enough enough. Let’s open those YouTube cooking 101 videos and try something! It was then that I made rice for the first time at 22 (shameful, right?). As you cannot have rice as is, I cut a few potatoes, boiled them & mixed it up with the rice, added salt
Cooking food is easy i concluded. I had this exact same dish for about a week. Then I switched back to the canteen food served at the university.
The change (both from European to the rice-potatoes and back to) was certainly worth it. Folks back home were proud of this little feat :p

RUMA ACHER COOK 99Pickles can be prepared using one of two main methods: lactic acid fermentation of vegetables, either with or without the addition of salt the preservation of vegetables in acetic acid (vinegar). The products made by these two methods are very different -each one has its own distinctive taste and texture.
RUMA ACHER COOK 99The Charaka Samhita (IAST: Caraka-Saṃhitā, “Compendium of Charaka”) is a Sanskrit text on Ayurveda (Indian traditional medicine).[1][2] Along with the Sushruta Samhita, it is one of the two foundational texts of this field that have survived from ancient India.[3][4][5] It is one of the three works that constitute the Brhat Trayi.
The text is based on the Agnivesha Samhitā, an older encyclopedic medical compendium by Agniveśa. It was revised by Charaka between 100 BCE and 200 CE and renamed Charaka Samhitā. The pre-2nd century CE text consists of 8 books and 120 chapters.[6][7] It describes ancient theories on the human body, ethology, symptomology and therapeutics for a wide range of diseases.[8] The Charaka Samhita also includes sections on the importance of diet, hygiene, prevention, medical education, and the teamwork of a physician, nurse and patient necessary for recovery to health.[9][10][11]

RUMA ACHER COOK 99The Charaka Samhita states that the content of the book was first taught by Atreya, and then subsequently codified by Agniveśa, revised by Charaka, and the manuscripts that survive into the modern era are based on one completed by Dṛḍhabala.[14] Dṛḍhabala stated in the Charaka Samhita that he had to write one-third of the book himself because this portion had been lost, and that he also re-wrote the last part of the book.[15]
Based on textual analysis, and the literal meaning of the Sanskrit word charaka, Chattopadhyay speculated that charaka does not refer to one person but a lineage or sect of people.[16] Vishwakarma and Goswami state that the text exists in many versions and entire chapters are missing in some versions.[

RUMA ACHER COOK 99The extant text has eight sthāna (books), totalling 120 chapters. The text includes a table of contents embedded in its verses, stating the names and describing the nature of the eight books, followed by a listing of the 120 chapters.[29] These eight books are[6]
- Sutra Sthana (General principles) – 30 chapters deal with general principles, philosophy, definitions, prevention through healthy living, and the goals of the text.[30] It is divided into quadruplets of 7, making it 28 with 2 concluding chapters.
- Nidana Sthana (Pathology) – 8 chapters on causes of diseases.[31]
- Vimana Sthana (Specific determination) 8 chapters contain training of a physician, ethics of medical practice, pathology, diet and nourishment, taste of medicines.[32]
- Śarira Sthana (Anatomy) – 8 chapters describe embryology & anatomy of a human body (with a section on other living beings).[33]

Seventeen chapters of Cikitsā sthāna and complete Kalpa sthāna and Siddhi sthāna were added later by Dṛḍhabala.[35] The text starts with Sūtra sthāna which deals with fundamentals and basic principles of Ayurveda practice. Unique scientific contributions credited to the Caraka Saṃhitā include:
- a rational approach to the causation and cure of disease
- introduction of objective methods of clinical examination

[edit]
The text asserts that there are four important parts to medical practice – the patient, the physician, the nurse and the medicines.[10] All four are essential to recovery and return to health, states the text. The physician provides knowledge and coordinates the treatment. He is who can “explore the dark interior of the body with the lamp of knowledge”, according to the text and Valiathan’s translation.[10][36] The physician must express joy and cheer towards those who can respond to treatment, masterfully avoid and save time in cases where the patient suffers from an incurable disease, while compassionate towards all.[10] The nurse must be knowledgeable, skilled at preparing formulations and dosagehttps://queenji.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=20047&action=edit

RUMA ACHER COOK 99This year I made a small batch of chaltar achaar or Elephant apple pickle. This sweet, sour spicy apple is delight to have as an aftermeal palate cleanser or even for those winter afternoons on the terrace, Sitting stretchlegged on the mat and enjoying a bowlful of this.
