CORRECT WAY OF COOKING NOODLES
The correct way to cook instant noodles without harming our bodies and health:
Normally, how we cook the instant noodles is to put the noodles into a pot with
water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 minutes and then it's
ready to eat. This is the WRONG method of cooking the instant noodles.
By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally
with MSG, it will change the molecular structure of the MSG, causing it to be toxic.
The other thing that you may or may not realize is that, the noodles are coated with
wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to excrete the wax after you
have eaten the noodles.

Dietician's Note:
If you buy plain “Hakka” noodles which you make, you initially need to boil in
water and discard the water. This will soften the noodles but to prevent it from
sticking we need to add a tbsp of oil and also the noodles are deep fried partially
to make them crunchy and then dusted with flour to prevent them from sticking
while boiling. Hence when you buy the noodles they are already made unhealthy
and this is the type we use to make stir fry noodles and the regular Maggie too is
made the same way, plus they add MSG / Ajinomoto and other chemical preservatives.

A large number of patients with ages ranging from 18-24 years are ending
up with pancreatitis either as a swelling or infection of the pancreas due
to regular consumption of instant noodles... If the frequency is more than
3 times a week, then it is very hazardous. Please be aware, and
look after your health.

FLOWERS FOR YOUR DEITY
| lotis |
FLOWERS form an important and integral part of a Hindu worship. Flowers are used in all Hindu poojas irrespective of whether they are carried out at home or at temples. Flowers serve as mediums to communicate to God. Furthermore, the fragrance of flowers induces devotion and sets the mood for worship. When flowers are offered to deities, there is a mechanism which functions to release divine energy into the atmosphere. Flowers attract the inherent divine or positive elements in the space and emits them through their petals, thereby charging the atmosphere with divine and positive vibrations.
Different flowers are associated for the worship of different deities in Hinduism.
Below mentioned are the flowers for worship of different deities according to the Hindu faith.
Lord Ganesha: Arugampul or Bermuda grass commonly found everywhere is the most auspicious offering to Lord Ganesha. Vel Erukampoo (White colour) or Calotropis Gigantea (Botanical name) is also considered as auspicious for the worship of Lord Ganesha.

Lord Vishnu: It is a commonly known fact that Tulsi (Basil leaves) leaves are considered the most auspicious to be offered to Lord Vishnu. This practice simply reminds one of Lord Krishna's statement in the Bhagavad Gita that even a small little leaf offered with total devotion is suffice to appease Him.
Apart from Tulsi, Paraijata, Thechi, (Ixora coccinea), Shankhupushpam or Aparajitha (Butterfly pea - Clitoria ternatea) are also considered auspicious to be offered to Lord Vishnu. Lotus which is often compared to the eye of the Lord in scriptures and devotional works acclaiming His beauty, is no doubt an auspicious flower offering to Him.
Goddess Parvati or Devi: There are mentions of various flowers in 'Lalita Sahasranama' dedicated to Devi. She is also said to be residing in the Kadhamba groves, for which, She is acknowledged with devotion as 'Kadhambavana Vasini'. Kadamb' (Neolamarckia cadamba), Champak (Michelia champaca), Hibiscus, Punnaag or Sultan Champa, Jasmine, etc are ideal to attract the grace of Devi.
Goddess Durga: Red flowers are basically offered to Goddess Durga. Hibiscus, Thechi (Ixora coccinea), Sev Arali (Nerium indicum or Nerium oleander) are some of the most commonly used flowers for the worship of Durga.
Goddess Lakshmi: Lotus happens to be the abode of Goddess Lakshmi. Lotus is considered as sacred to be offered to Goddess Lakshmi. Thazhampoo, which is also called Ketaki or Screwpine, Thechi, Champak (Michelia champaca) and Jamanthi (Chrysanthemum - Corn Marigold) are also some flowers that invokes the Grace of the goddess of wealth.
