Why I love Pride of Cows
A few months back I noticed a funny thing-whenever I made tea, there were a few specks of oil floating on the surface.
I couldn’t fathom where the oil came from.So I ignored it.
Then an incident happened.My wife had kept a vessel of boiled milk in the fridge.We went out of town and when we returned a few days later, we found that the milk had turned yellow with a thick layer of oil on top.
It was obvious that the milk we were consuming was adulterated.We changed our suppliers,our brands etc but to no avail.This article by Menaka Gandhi makes it clear of how common milk adulteration in India is.
We were at our wits end on what to do next.Fortunately, we found Pride of Cows, an initiative of Devendra Shah, owner of Parag Foods Pvt. Ltd.
The milk supplied is SUPERB comparable to the best overseas.It is pricey-more than double the cost of regular milk, but it’s worth it especially if you have children in the house.
This milk is so fresh and great that once you start having it you can’t go back to your normal brand.Would STRONGLY recommend my readers to try this.

Came across this amazing couplet (Hat Tip:Madhu Trehan)
Meray Charon Jaanib
Usi Lamha Ujaala Sa Ho Gaya
Main Ne Poocha
Tu Kawn Hai
Bari Shafqat Se Boli
Maa Ki Dua
My four sides
Lit up that very moment
I asked
Who are you
She replied with tenderness
Mother’s prayers

A Macro guy & the Twitter IPO
I am a macro guy. Can someone explain what this "Twitter" thing is? It sounds stupid.
