Maa can vouch for all the days of turmoil she went through where I was the resident terror throwing all kinds of food tantrums. Veggies were a strict no-no, save for potatoes. Fish was only restricted to Chingri (Prawns) and the occasional Ilish (Hilsa). My protein intake was never a problem though, 'coz I was a die ha... |
To make matters worse, people who invited us to their homes always went 'tomar meye toh kicchhui khaye na' (translated: your daughter doesn't eat anything). Dad would describe this as 'playing carrom’, flicking the occasional Kumro (Pumpkin), Jhhingey (Ridge Gourd), Lau (Bottle Gourd) and the likes out of my plate. At ... |
With passing time and peer influence (rather pressure), I began to explore my taste buds and discover food in all its glory. Fish and vegetables no longer made me squirm, though I maintained some very strict reservations and distance against few things (another day, another post). |
I gradually noticed people no longer giving me that strange look of disgust when they invited me to their homes. They now went, “O baba tomar meye toh onek khawa shikhey gecchey!!.” (Oh my goodness! Your daughter has finally learnt to eat). This feat was regarded something as close to having climbed Mount Everest. Yes,... |
It’s amazing how realization always fails the punctuality test. It was at this phase of my life, where I was a good 1987 kms away from home, I realized what all I had missed. I started taking food much more seriously. So much that it gradually led something close to a passionate love affair, which l can shamelessly adm... |
I began exploring food not only on my plate but also in my kitchen. Results were varied – from good, bad to ugly. But I discovered my true love for cooking. It became my own little space where I could celebrate the highs and get over the lows, amost like an instant catharsis! With this blog, I intend to do all of that ... |
This is probably one of the easiest, simplest and fastest way of making Dum Aloo or Aloor Dom (Potatoes cooked/baked in a spicy masala). It is a tad spicy but you can adjust the heat according to taste. |
You can also throw in some green peas if you wish. |
Tip: You can make this masala and store it in an air tight container. Adds extra zest to your curries and chaats. |
Heat oil in a pan. When the oil heats up, add whole cumin seeds (jeera) and let them splutter for some seconds. Now add the boiled baby potatoes and fry them till they get a little browned on all sides. Now add the Magic Masala and some salt into the pan. Stir the potatoes well till they get nicely coated with the masa... |
Serve this with luchi, puris or parathas. Or even as a vegetarian starter like I did. |
Ahead of Mary Foudy O’Halloran’s exhibition Weighed at Ballina Arts Centre, Catherine Gilmartin spoke to the Gort-based artist about her work. |
Working with mixed media, building up layers, making marks, balancing tints and tones in the process, Mary’s work often re-examines the past in the now, questioning ordinaries and the familiar; often objects of loss. |
Mary goes on to explain how the initial motivation for her creativity takes place: “My work begins with a subject that has somehow inspired or touched me. There is an endless list of possibilities open to me and that is exciting. Somewhere along the work process each piece takes on a life of its own and it takes you to... |
“I have always loved everything about paintings and colour – even the smell of oil paint. I am largely self- taught, though the chance to study for my BA pushed my work into new directions and was a great experience. I couldn’t imagine my life now without working”. |
Stoma surgery can often be an overwhelming experience, but being well prepared before and after surgery can make a big difference for you and your recovery. |
To help you through the first 12 weeks after stoma surgery, ConvaTec have put together a handy guide to what you can generally expect with each stage of your recovery. |
When you first wake up following stoma surgery you will be wearing a pouch over your stoma. You may hear this be called a bag, a pouch or even an appliance. You may find your stoma may not work for 24 hours but don’t panic as this is quite common depending on your type of stoma. |
At first, your stoma may seem to be larger than you expected, but this is normally caused by the effects of surgery and will reduce as your recover (this can take up to eight weeks). To help reduce any adverse effects from the shrinking stoma such as leakage, ConvaTec Mouldable™ Technology stoma solutions can help give... |
The ward staff or stoma nurse will help you care for your stoma at this stage. |
You might have to stay in hospital for up to two weeks following surgery, but this can vary from person to person depending on the type of operation and your general health. |
During this time, it is very normal to feel overcome with emotions. You may find yourself feeling confused, sad, angry or generally fed up, or you may have a mixture of these emotions. Try not to worry as these feelings are completely normal and should diminish as you start to adjust to life with a stoma. If you feel l... |
As you learn to care for your own stoma, you may also find the need for an adhesive remover to help you gently remove the pouch. ConvaTec’s Niltac spray can help with this, and wipes can also be used to prevent the build-up of adhesive on the skin. |
During the first few months after stoma surgery, it is important to recognise that you and your loved ones will be undergoing a major period of adjustment. Having a stoma means you need to adapt to a new “normal” way of life. |
As you start to feel better the chances are your appetite will improve and your body shape may change as a result. If this is the case, then it may be necessary to be reassessed to ensure you are wearing the right pouch. Not only can learing the right pouch increase your confidence, it can reduce discomfort, prevent le... |
Your stoma nurse can advise on what products are available or alternatively Convatec’s Product Specialist can give advice over the phone and send samples if appropriate. If they can’t help you, they can refer you to the Nurse Advisor Line where a qualified stoma nurse can assess your issues, and if needed can refer you... |
12 weeks on and you should be starting to feel much more comfortable and confident with your new lifestyle as stoma management becomes a more routine part of your life. |
This could be a good time to start revisiting the activities you enjoyed before your surgery such as swimming, golf, archery and more. Once you do start to become more active you may find the product you were using may not be suitable. ConvaTec has a full range of one and two-piece products, flat and convex which provi... |
During this initial adjustment period, however, make sure to keep in close contact with your stoma care nurse. The answers to any problems or concerns are usually just a phone call away. |
It’s widely acknowledged that a healthy lifestyle can improve mental health and aid recovery. Active can mean something as simple as carrying your food shopping to the front door or playing with the kids. It could also mean walking, jogging or even more strenuous sporting activities like running, cycling or competitive... |
Adjusting to life with a stoma may feel like a challenge, physically and mentally, but just know that you are not alone. Your stoma care nurse and healthcare professionals are there to help you every step of the way. So are we. |
If you do feel like you are struggling to come to terms with adapting to life with a stoma and feel you need that extra bit of support, the ConvaTec me+™ counselling service could help. |
Offering free confidential advice and support no matter what stage of recovery you’re at, you can speak with one of our experienced counsellors who are here for you when you need it most. |

Scott Page, saxophone and rhythm guitar player during Pink Floyd's "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" era has joined forces with Roger Waters veteran vocalist Robbie Wyckoff. The two are now part of an all-star band that will play Pink Floyd music. The band, Think Floyd Experience, will be streaming their first performance,... |
"Our intention is to extend the Pink Floyd legacy - but the idea is to bring a very high tech and experience-based element to it. Tech will be a big part of the experience. We're focusing a channel on the Ignited Network on the project and live streaming our first gig. The channel, Pink Floyd Exp, will eventually be on... |
What sets the project apart is the history and the prominence of the musicians involved. |
Page and Wyckoff are joined by Jane's Addiction's Stephen Perkins on drums, Fishbone's Norwood Fisher on bass, Kid Rock's Kenny Olson and Jon Stankorb (of Signs of Life, the American Pink Floyd – a tribute band of its own) on guitars, and Roberta Freeman, another Momentary Lapse of Reason tour alumnus, on background an... |
Page and Wyckoff met through Olson who had played with the two in separate projects. Page, in turn, met Olson through Fisher when they played a NAMM show related gig at the House of Blues in Anaheim (the Nights After NAMM All-Star Mash-Up) earlier this year. |
But it was a gig with Fisher's band, Trulio Disgracias, which cemented things: Page and Perkins were guests with Trulio Disgracias at Los Angeles' famous The Mint club for a performance of "Wish You Were Here." During that performance the musicians got a vibe that they had a good thing going. Page had worked with Perki... |
The concert begins at 8:30pm Pacific Standard Time (11:30pm Eastern Standard Time and 4:30am British Summer Time). Think Floyd Experience will perform at 9:15pm (Pacific Standard Time, or 12:30am Eastern Standard Time and 5:30am British Summer Time). |
For those who are familiar with 80s movies, actor and musician Corey Feldman will be making a guest appearance. |
In order to view the show live or otherwise (and access some of an obscure catalogue of behind-the-scenes videos and collectibles from Page's time with Pink Floyd) if you are unable to attend in person, you need to register on the Ignited Network at this link: Ignited Network Scott Page Invitation. This is for iOS devi... |

“I acknowledge once more the suffering endured by many minors due to sexual abuse, the abuse of power and the abuse of conscience perpetrated by a significant number of clerics and consecrated persons,” the pope said in the letter dated and released Aug. 20. |
“Yesterday’s report of the Pennsylvania grand jury that investigated cases of the sexual abuse of minors committed by priests and deacons once again brought forward the pain and suffering of those who experienced that abuse, and the shameful way that those in positions of authority, including bishops, responded—or fail... |
“I am sure that everyone, particularly victim-survivors and their families, but also the laity, good and faithful priests and deacons, and, yes, even bishops and cardinals, is feeling nauseous, hurt and betrayed by the details contained in the report. |
“Although the report focused on six dioceses in Pennsylvania, we have thus far found three clerics from this archdiocese mentioned in the report…I wanted to share with you what the report contains, and let you know the status of each of these cases. |
“Father James McLucas was alleged to have sexually abused a 14-year-old girl. However, we have an affidavit from the woman involved who states that a sexual relationship did not begin until she was in her 20s and in college. This does not excuse the behavior in any way, which is unquestionably and categorically wrong, ... |
“Deacon James Rush was alleged to have had an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old girl. He was ordained a deacon for the Archdiocese of New York in 1979, but has not served here since 2002. He has been living and working in the Diocese of Harrisburg since that time. The Diocese of Harrisburg determined that t... |
“Ed Parrakow was a priest of this archdiocese who, in the 1980s, was found to have committed multiple acts of abuse of minors. He was sent away for treatment, and then given an assignment in the Diocese of Greenburg, where he continued to abuse. As much as it pains us to admit it, this is clearly an example of the wron... |
The report “clearly lays out the pain experienced by victim-survivors, pain which continues to this day, and the terribly wrong way that these incidents were usually handled by the Church in the past which contributed to their suffering. |
“While it is true that the abuse of minors was badly handled by all segments of society, if there is one segment that should have done a better job, it is the Church. And while the Church in the past may have been an example of what not to do, today I believe it is a model of what to do to prevent sexual abuse, and how... |
“Although the situation in the Church is very different today, especially since the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People in 2002, that does not mean that we can become complacent or think this is all behind us. We must continue to do all that we can to address the pain and suffering that victim-survi... |
“That is the reason that the archdiocese instituted the Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program (IRCP), as a way to help bring a sense of healing for those who were harmed. We must also continue to be ever rigorous in performing background checks and safe environment training, so that, as much as possible, ... |
“I believe that the recent case involving Archbishop Theodore McCarrick, as gut-wrenching as it was, exemplifies the progress that has been made in dealing with such cases. When the Archdiocese of New York received the complaint, we followed our normal protocol as we would for any priest, and everyone involved—from the... |

Toshiba has come up with a new type of self-encrypting hard drive (SED) that can automatically wipe data if it is removed from a paired computer by an attacker. |
Available in capacities up to 640GB, the new MKxx61GSYG drive upgrades the capabilities of an identically-named drive announced last December, which launched the company’s family of drives complying with the Trusted Computing Group’s Opal SSC specification. |
The latest version adds new features to the mix for OEMs, including the ability to cause either part or all of the drive to become crypto-erased if the drive detects that it is not operating inside a particular PC. |
According to Toshiba, this is useful for point-of-sale terminals as well as some laptops to protect against drive data being accessed at the end of a drive's life or while being re-provisioned. |
The company is also pushing the case of this type of drive in niche applications such as multi-function printers that cache and retain images of faxes and printed documents. Undoubtedly, however, the technology could herald a move to drives designed to wipe themselves when removed from paired computers or devices. |
Data can also be set to erase from sections of the drive based on pre-defined policies. |
“Although people are taking security seriously, the uptake of encrypting drives is very small,” admitted Toshiba’s technical support manager, Tim Wright. |
A key to changing that would be ease of use and that meant automating as many security functions as possible as had been done with the new drive. |
“This is easy to use. It is fit and forget,” said wright. |
Pricing has not been announced but samples are due to ship to OEMs for integration into products this quarter, the company said. |
