K, be strong... all these difficulties are just to make us stronger...:) I hope u get the medicines for the other kids atleast... we take preventive for chikunguniya, chickenpox, swine flu etc when it is in season...so far it has worked... only thing, once taken it'll work only for 3-6 months... so it has to be taken every year... or everytime the flu sets in...anyway, prevention is better than cure...:)

when taking homeopathy preventive make sure u don't drink coffee during the course and also don't take anything orally 1/2 hr before and after the medicine...

kugan,

sorry to hear about aishu. take care.

today made restaurant style dhal for lunch. it came out well. very easy to prepare. as per dev's suggestion, i include kasoori methi too. nice aroma.

thanks and take care

Thanks Dev, my niece called to tell that the medical shop is giving the medicine free.
Thanks for your tips about not taking coffee and not to consume before and after for 1/2 an hour. Thanks again Dev, Kugan98

Glad Selviem, that you liked the dal.
Ya, at times, Dev does give us good tips.

Thanks for inquiring about Aishu.
Take care, Kugan98

Glad ur niece got the medicines for u... do take the full course(usually 5-7 days) and make sure u take it in advance from next year...:) kudos to the medical shop for the service... the medicine costs just abt RS. 20 but u still have to have a big heart to give it free to everyone...

Selvi, glad the dhal turned out good and my tip helped...:)

OATS MILK COCOA BALLS looks super yummy... but seivena theriyalai coz I HATE oats...:lol:
