Feeding babies with silverware

Its a general tradition across customs to feed the child in silver utensils once solid food intake is started. They are given as gifts during baby shower or naming ceremony Are there any specific reason for it ?A big YES.

1. Anti bacterial and anti fungal Silver by nature kills bacterial and fungal growth hence it’s good to feed in utensils made it.

2. Boosts immunity Whenever food is served hot or warm in silver vessels, some of it gets infused with the food, which boosts immunity.

3. Non toxic Since it is anti bacterial and anti fungal it is non toxic , silver reacts when food contains poisonous substance like sulphur. ( do not feed egg in silver)

4. Retains freshness Food stored in silver utensils are said to be fresh for longer periods.

Medicines are generally fed using a ‘paladai’ or ‘sangu’.

Review of when opposites meet

This is my first read of a book by Sachin Garg. A simple plot intertwined with six characters around whom the story evolves.
Going by the genuine fact that opposites attract, the plot revolves around how the three pairs fall in love when each of them is a complementing personality of the other. The cover of the book is of the kind that makes you want to pick it up on the first glance. I really loved the way the story revolved around Ritwika and Chetan. The author has made complete Justice by bringing out what happens when two emotionally, socially, physically opposite people come across and fall in love.
