An innovative Israeli company is pioneering the future of food by introducing 3D printed meat. Using state-of-the-art technology, they're crafting meat from either plant-based ingredients or animal cells. This approach promises numerous benefits including greater sustainability, improved animal welfare, unparalleled customization, and potential solutions to food security challenges. While the innovation has the potential to revolutionize our culinary landscape, it also faces challenges such as public acceptance and regulatory issues. This development not only showcases a technological marvel but also hints at a transformative shift in our relationship with food, positioning Israel at the helm of a possible global culinary revolution.

I was always decrying people who were vegetarians.

My line would always be, "Guys, you don't know what you are missing."

Then it happened.

The ones I derided are now doing target practice on me, but I can see a glimmer of admiration in their eyes!


While it is not easy to transition, there are plenty of resources to help you along, like cookbooks and videos.


However, some restaurants, holiday packages, cruises, and the like have few vegetarian options. So do your research before ending up at a location and realize all you have is a dish of spinach with bits of bacon picked out of it.

This tune was composed by Walter Kaufmann, a Jew, and played by violinist Mehli Mehta a Parsi, for a radio station first founded by Professor M V Gopalaswamy, who taught Psychology at Mysore University. Some of you must have guessed it by now. It is the signature tune of All India Radio.

Mehli Mehta, incidentally, is the father of composer-conductor Zubin Mehta.

Almost eight decades have passed since the composition of this piece is based on the raga Shivaranjini. However, the lilting violin notes played over a tambura still manage to evoke a sense of longing. The signature tune was followed immediately by Vande Mataram.

Antonio Xavier Vaz, better known as Chic Chocolate, was a popular jazz musician in Bombay. He also worked as a composer and trumpet player for Hindi film scores. 

Chic Chocolate and Chris Perry led a two-trumpet barrage at the Green's Hotel. Chic Chocolate was a nightclub performer for most of his career, but he was also a talented film composer, recording and arranging soundtracks for several films. 

Chic was a successful Bollywood music composer. In 1951, he worked as a music director for the first time on Nadaan. Aa Teri Tasvir Bana Lu by Talat Mahmood and Sari Duniya Ko Piichhe Chodkar by Lata Mangeshkar were two of Nadaan's most popular songs. Chic Chocolate was a part of C. Ramchandra's team. Two of Ramachandra's most popular Bollywood songs are Gore Gore O Banke Chore from Samadhi and Shola Jo Bhadke from Albela. Chic Chocolate is to be credited for these songs. Lata Mangeshkar sang the song Koi Dard Hamara Kya Samjhe in the 1952 film Rangili, on which they collaborated. He is remembered today for his collaboration with Madan Mohan and his work with Naasir in the 1956 film Kar Bhala. Chic worked as the film's assistant music director. 

The movie Albela featured him in a song sequence with his band dressed in frilly Latin-inspired costumes and a cameo appearance. Chic wore the costumes from the film for his subsequent live performances. 

Chic and his family, including his wife Martha and their children, lived in a Colaba apartment until he died in May 1967, at 51. Chetan Anand's Aakhri Khat was released shortly after. Several shots in the movie showed Chic Chocolate playing his trumpet from the bandstand during the blues song Rut Jawan.

An unrestricted conversation with Jim Rajan.  Jim is an empath and an intuitive, distant healer.   "My mentors Jiddu Krishnamurti, Kahlil Gibran, Rabindranath Tagore, Deepak Chopra walk with me through a universe that I hold gracefully within my own hand. And, I’m honored to have their words by my side" says Jim.   "In the past 25 years I’ve studied shamanic healing, reiki, buddhism, daoism, mindfulness and the curative arts to bring about my own growth and healing and that of those around me. But when I learnt the art of visualisation, life literally took off and underwent a profound expansion. It is the key to the future. To your future. But you have to know what you are doing and do it right from the start.  As an empath and intuitive healer I’ve learnt to master my own mind and energetic body, to be the protagonist not the victim. And when I took the decision to work on myself, amazing and wonderful things emerged. We are all intuitive, we all have the capacity to feel everything and our work will open that door for you, too.  For me sound is an incredible healing medium. As a composer and musician I’ve searched for sounds that bring about expansion in consciousness. I play drums to the earths’ rhythm not my own. And the bansuri flute, a traditional north Indian folk instrument that transports you directly to your source. My poetry is deeply meditative and purely from my heart. And, when I put all these resources together with these teachings, this work just sprang mystically into existence.   Our followers have said it instills ‘feelings like flying’ and ‘floating through dreams in space’. The presence it brings about in you has been called ‘mystifying, spiritually enriching’. And, others called them ‘vivid magical journeys’. And, I’m filled with gratitude for such words about my work." says he.
