HOUSEBOAT

The backwaters in Kerala attract tourists from all over the world. Houseboats are usually hired by tourists to cruise through the backwaters. The smaller Houseboats have one bedroom and a Kitchen. The bigger ones have more than one bedroom. Some have air-conditioned bedrooms. For cruises of longer duration there will be cooks to prepare local meals in the kitchen. Some tourists hire the boat for overnight trips. They leave in the evening and return the next morning.

MY BROTHER PASSED AWAY

My younger brother Mathew passed away on Monday (22/7) morning. He was having a fever and difficulty in breathing for a few days. Funeral was held on Thursday (25/7). He was 59. Mathew was a Chartered Accountant and was working as a Finance Manager in a Government Organisation. I will not be posting on this blog for some time. Thank You.

COFFEE OR TEA

Long ago when I started drinking coffee and tea, both were almost the same for me. I would drink either one and feel no real difference. Later on I started to hate coffee. The coffee I was usually drinking was instant coffee and I did not like it. So I began to drink more tea. It did not matter if the tea was prepared with tea dust, tea bags or tea leaves.

Many years later I started drinking coffee again. This time I was drinking ground coffee which tastes so much better than instant coffee. Now I drink one cup of tea in the morning prepared with tea leaves and with milk added. Then I have several cups of black coffee during the day. I usually buy smaller packets of tea and coffee. I think once we open a packet of tea or coffee it begins to lose its freshness. The smaller packets are more likely to retain its freshness since we tend to finish them before it loses its freshness.

FISH OIL

I had an ache in my right shoulder which was usually felt in the morning as I got up from bed.  I checked the net for information about it and found that it could be the beginning of arthritis. I also found that fish oil could help provide some relief.  I don’t eat fish regularly and so I felt I may be missing something. It made sense that I should get the fish oil. I started taking one capsule of cod liver oil daily. After about two weeks the pain in the shoulder was gone. A few months later my arm was as flexible as usual. I think I should give credit to the cod liver oil for the recovery.
