HAS CONGRESS PARTY JUMPED THE GUN IN THE 
INDIA AGAINST CORRUPTION Vs DLF AND ROBERT VADRA?

The answer is 'YES'. Immediately after Arvind Kejriwal of IAC made certain
allegations against DLF and Robert Vadra,the congress party's firefighting team
swung into action.There were clarifications from three official spokespersons 
and five  Cabinet ministers and also a governor of a state who was former 
Law Minister of the country.In earlier days,when such allegations were made, the politicians will not react the way as they do it now,they will simply say
Let the law of the Land take its own course.
Why this change now?.Are we deteriorating in political sensitivity or it is a  
sense of weakness in the system or it is a new political paradigm of one  
upmanship?.But one thing is sure,this is a self inflicted wound for the congress party.

BANANA A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY.

Bananas contain three natural sugars-sucrose,fructose &glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant,sustained & substantial boost of energy. Research has proved that just  two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90 minute workout. No wonder banana is the preferred fruit for all the leading athletes.


Banana not only provides instant energy but also good for all other ills like depression,PMS,anemia,blood pressure,constipation,hangovers,heartburns,morning sickness,mosquito bites,overweight,ulcers to name a few.

Hence,banana is a poor man's diet which is better than an apple .
