    Curious Shashu-Episode-13- How is sea water and river water made fit for consumption?

    Shashu grew very curious about water purification before it reaches our homes for consumption, after I told him that during our childhood, we used to drink rain water directly and that how I miss doing that now, due to the impurities present in air. Sea water is desalinated to remove salt and other unwanted minerals which are considered unfit for drinking and then in commercial purifiers, they are purified and made fit for consumption. Though rain water is stored, it can't be used for drinking directly but needs to be purified first and then only consumed .

    Conversation on Nature through Shashu's eyes.

    Shashu recently got to learn about nature through his EVS teacher and grew very much eager and loved the fact that everything under the sun, which is created on its own is nature. He was amazed at the fact and wanted to discuss more...

    Curious Shashu-Episode-11-What's the water that comes out of the AC vent?

    Shashi wanted to know about the water which gets expelled from the AC vent, while the AC is running. The work of an AC is to lower the temperature of the room, so the process is simple, when the temperature drops, the humidity, of the air is cooled and water is expelled, just like after boiled water is cooled, it leaves off water droplets in the lid, AC, after cooling the room, expels the hot air in the form of water.

    Curious Shashu- Episode 10- How to make furniture from wood.

    Shashu dearest got curious on the process of converting wood to furniture. When the tree is cut, it's no longer a tree, but is called a log. This is left to dry well till it's fit to be called timber. Later, the timber is milled, ie it is roughly cut and then the timber is sawed,ie cutting into desired shapes and sizes, levelled, where the uneven surfaces are smoothened and then the desired furniture is cut and assembled with the appropriate tools.

    Curious Shashu-Episode-9- Do bees sleep?

    A lot of honey bees were buzzing around our garden and Shashu was observing them work tirelessly. He thus came up with his next question, Do bees ever sleep ma? Bees do take a break and sleep. There are three types of bees, namely, the Queen bee, forager bees( older ones) and young workers which majorly take care of the cleaning of the bee hive. The last members of the bee hive sleep by taking short breaks in the daytime, while the older forager bees take a nap during the night.

    Curious Shashu-Episode-8- How do the farmers grow rice?

    I keep instilling this important trait in Shashu to never waste food. In this episode, I tell him how a farmer grows rice. Rice, to grow needs, proper sunlight, excess, infact, a puddle of water throughout its growing stage and the proper type of soil. The farmers, prepare the soil first, followed by filling the land with required amount of water. Next sowing the rice seeds, and maintaining the proper environment by weeding out the unnecessary plants. After about 3 to 4 months, the rice crop is fully grown and mature. Once the time arrives for harvest, the excess water is drained out from the land and let to dry out, leaving the crop to dry and crisp. The crop is finally harvested and beaten to separate the paddy from the stalk. Once separated, the paddy is again processed to remove the husk from the rice. This rice is later polished and cleaned to be stored in jute bags. these bags are the sent out for distribution. After undergoing these many steps, and not one step is simple, do we get rice on our table. When the farmers ensure that we get all the rice he grows with so much effort,why not we teach our children to give the same respect to food and not waste a single grain of rice? Making kids understand the importance and value of food needs to be done right from the time they start helping themselves with eating. Just like any other social trait, respecting food, eating just the required amount of food and avoiding excess food on the plate resulting in waste should be avoided. #foodwaste #foodwasted #foodwastebattle #foodwastemanagement #foodwastenot #foodwastepledge #foodwastesucks #foodwastewarriorsinposition

    Curious Shashu-Episode-7-Why shouldn't we have a bath after having food?Why do we Burp after a meal?

    It was just another lazy Sunday and Shashu, who is somebody who does all his chores of having his bath, spending some time meditating and later having his breakfast, was in a mood to skip all this and have his bath after enjoying his favourite breakfast made by his maternal grandmother. That's when .y mom said to him about the I'll effects of having bath post food. He got curious and asked me the reason behind. As, you all would have observed, I follow more of a factual and scientific policy of explaining things to my child. I don't believe in making up stories for the time being. This is the reason why u sit and try to explain things according to his understanding. So, just like fuel combusts to help a vehicle run, food is the fuel if our body and burns to generate energy. By bringing up combustion itself, it defines some process which happens in desirable higher temperatures. By bathing, we bring down the temperature of the body, which is not favourable for the food in rhe digestion process. This results in slow digestion, indigestion, and improper distribution of required nutrients to the body. In a long run, it makes the entire digestion process sluggish, if done often. Hence it is not preferred to take a bath post food. Also please note, my second one's voice in the background 🧐😜 Next in the segment, he asks why do we Burp after a meal? When we consume food or air, we normally tend to breathe in some air along with it. Also, when we chew food and drink water hastily, or keep talking while eating, excess air tends to enter our body. This excess air is expelled by our body before reaching the stomach,as burp. This process helps to save our stomach from excessive bloating. To avoid burping, we should hence chew and drink slowly, avoid speaking during eating.
