There has been off late a lot of talks around palm oil and effects it has post daily usage.
The news to many would be to know that Palm oil has been with us since the origin of mankind.
Many generations and cultures found many different ways to utilise palm oil. History tells us the use of Palm oil has been wide and all over the world.

Palm oil face a stiff competition in terms of use and acceptability. To palm oil its most competitive counterpart is Coconut oil.
Palm oil have all traits like coconut oil and finds it use as cooking oil and also have  lots of nutritional value too.
It's good on the stomach too as it does not convert into fats as fast as other oils and hence does not make us Fat like other oils do.

All this is possible because palm oil do not raise our cholesterol level and also is good because it does not have Tran’s fats. Sometimes not having things is also good. No cholesterol and Trans fats means healthy heart and body.
Now this is really something everyone wants, don’t we?!

Also production of palm oil is super easy and convenient, both on environment and pocket. Due to high demand and low usage of fertilizers to grow the plant it becomes a natural choice for farmers.
Isn't it a no brainer that to cater to needs of future generations our gradual dependence on other oils is only going to reduce?

Palm oil isn't only restricted to cooking healthy dishes because of its tasteless nature. It is used in various industries commercially like FMCG industry, cosmetics industry, as a cleaning agent and what not.

Grown in tropical areas, palm oil is also more competitive in terms of price compared to other oils.
Now the thing that's also astonishing is that palm oil accounts for almost 50% of the total amount of total vegetable oil. It is possible only because palm plantation yield is highest in the category of vegetable oil cultivation. Now it surely helps in food security doesn't it?
Even with all these traits palm oil has found enemies.
We seldom find palm oil promoted as much as it peers and a large part of the world still is not using palm oil.
But slowly the word is spreading. The strengths and uses of palm oil is reaching millions all around the world.
Slowly palm oil is being adopted in our consumption needs and other oils are facing competition.
I have moved to healthiest and most economical choice of oil in the market for all my needs, Palm Oil. So can you.

Cooking is one of the most important activity we do everyday mindlessly to feed us. One of the most important ingredient no matter which meal we cook is Oil. Olive oil, Mustard oil, Sunflower oil, sesame oil all are the very common names of oil we see at at homes or at resturarest we eat. The one unsung hero out of this list is the Palm Oil.

Dr Bhavna Shah (MPOC Regional head for India & Sri Lanka) recently gave a talk  at the “Malaysian Palm Oil Council” at Ardor 2.1 i happened to learn and know more about the use and benefits of Palm oil. It came to me as such an eye-opener to knowkPalm Oil is used in food processing industry to pharmaceutical industry. The wide array of benifits that ride with usege of this oil is far beyond anyone's knowledge. Companies like Nestle, McDonald’s, Kellogg’s in food space  & Reckitt Benckiser, P & G, Colgate Palmolive etc. for cosmetics like soap, shampoos & toothpaste has been using Palm oil from a long time.

The Bhilwara Sur Sangam, of the LNJ Bhilwara Group, has become one of the most sought after yearly music festivals of the Capital. This edition of two day-day musical fest was dedicated to the promotion of Indian classical music traditions. Various eminent artists of the country graced the event by their presence.

Padma Shri awardee, Pandit Venkatesh Kumar, once again mesmerised the audience with his soulful voice . Accompanied on flute by Pandit Ajay Shankar Prasanna , and with support by some of his best disciples was one night to remember. His voice really brought the Kamani Auditorium to life.

Sitar 

Superb performance by Ustad Shujaat Hussain Khan was perhaps the highpoint of day two of the two day event organised by Bhilwara Group. The sonorous sitar recital was followed with performance by Shri Abhishek Borkar. Shri Abhishek Borkar was, in fact, equally enthralling on sarod as well. 

The very first stroke on the sarod captured the sensibility of the discerning audience. 

This year the Sur Sangam was dedicatd to Ganasarswati Kishori Amonkar.

Bhilwara Sur Sangam has been spreading the rich heritage of Indian classical music traditions. It is indeed heartening that many legendary artists of diverse genres have performed on this platform.

I feel privileged to be part of an event of such magnitude and to be able too see such quality musical talents of our country performing in front of my eyes. 

I feel proud that Bhilwara group is year after year conducting such events that bring us closer to our roots.

Recently I was thinking about buying a car for myself.

Buying a car is one thing which involves very high involvement.From a wide variety of options and the high cost involved, buying the car which suits best your taste and preferences is a task in its own. 

Wont it be a great help if someone guides us through their professional and personal experience. Here are some important things which I kept in mind before I finally made my final decision.

1. Finding the best fit : 

A car that could accommodate the entire family or a fancy car you can show off in front of friend. An all terrain SUV or a comfortable sedan. A budget friend car or a luxury vehicle. Finding a car that fits your needs and finances is the first step towards your dream vehicle.

2. See the after sale service:

A car needs maintenance and repairs from time to time to keep it in good shape. Spare parts accessibility is somethings we should be concerned about. Also the maintenance should not cost a fortune. Investing in budget friendly cars is a smart way to go ahead.

3. Research:

Before buying a car of a particular make collecting all the relevant data is important. Mileage, horsepower,torque, bundled offers,vehicle history if buying a pre-owned car, all these data points are important.

4.Test Drive:

Trying before buying is something which our parents have taught us. Before closing the deal one should always test drive the car. This would help us understand the aspects associated with the car better and also tell us how comfortable it is for us.

5. Seek guidance:

Professionals help in understanding various aspects related to car can come handy. Out of many professionals site I found cars.com as a site which provides help in various aspects related to buying your first car.
They help comparing cars of different make. Their managers also help in advising us about the right car for us if we are buying a Pre-owned car. If someone wants to sell their car, they can even do that their. 
Cars.com also help us by giving awareness about frauds while buying a car. Many people also write their testimonials and share their buying experience. 

Hope these points help you to make an informed decision.
