Soil

I am a very down to earth person...
o really getting down to earth,
soil is made up of particles of different sizes.
The texture of the soil is determined by the proportion of
particles of the various sizes in it. Accordingly, there is sandy soil
with large particles, silt soil with medium particles,
clay soil with small particles.
The structure of soil depends upon the different shapes
of the particles in it. Soil occurs in the form of columnar,
laminar, granular as well as block-shaped structures.
The uses of soil are:
1. Plant conservation : to grow plants
2. Water conservation:to hold water
3. Plasticity: soil can be given variety of shapes
4. Filtration of water
5.Soil is commonly used in antibiotics. Microbes created in
the soil are harmful to bacteria, which is why soil is used in medicine.
 Medicines created by soil include skin ointments, tuberculosis
drugs and anti-tumor drugs.
6.Pottery: soil can be given any shape
7.Physiothereputic massage (hot and cold soil)
8.Construction:to make bricks
9. Games
10.Cosmetics
11.Earth battery:iron and copper electrodes buried in soil.
12 edible clay
Types of soil
1. China clay:white in color, to make crockery,bathroom tiles,
tanks, laboratory apparatus, masks, jars
2. Shadu soil: whitish in color.Used for making statues and idols
3. Terracota soil: red in color.Used for making decorative articles and pots
4. Multani soil: used in cosmetics.
The color of the soil may be black,red,copper,yellow,gray.
The color of the soil depends on the texture, organic ingredients,
chemical ingredients like iron, lime.

Diamond

This birthday my mother gifted me a pair of diamond earrings... Vow, more about this precious gem...
diamond name is derived from the ancient Greek "unbreakable". Diamond is a metastable allotrope of carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure called a diamond lattice. Most natural diamonds are formed at high temperature and pressure at depths of 140 to 190 kilometers (87 to 118 mi) in the Earth's mantle.
Diamonds can also be produced synthetically in a HPHT method which approximately simulates the conditions in the Earth's mantle.
Diamond is the hardest known natural material.
Mined rough diamonds are converted into gems through a multi-step process called "cutting". Diamonds are extremely hard, but also brittle and can be split up by a single blow. Therefore, diamond cutting is traditionally considered as a delicate procedure requiring skills, scientific knowledge, tools and experience. Its final goal is to produce a faceted jewel where the specific angles between the facets would optimize the diamond luster, that is dispersion of white light, whereas the number and area of facets would determine the weight of the final product.
Each of the four C's (Carat Weight, Cut, Color, Clarity) give certificate of Authenticity.
The 35.56-carat blue diamond dates back to the 17th century, when King Philip IV of Spain selected the jewel to be part of his daughter's dowry; is the costliest diamond.
Cut and polished diamond is set in finger ring, earings, necklace, bracelet...
...my wish is"sparkle like a diamond,become precious as a diamond"...

Water

I am so happy that my eyes are moist with water. In this happy mood let me tell you more about water...
Aqua is another name for water. Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world's streams, lakes, oceans and rain, and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things. Raindrops form rivulets, then river, then river flows into sea. Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure, but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state, ice; and gaseous state, steam (water vapor).
It also exists as snow, fog, dew and cloud.
In its purest form, it's odorless, nearly colorless and tasteless.
As a chemical compound, a water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. It is a V-shaped polar molecule.
Water flushes out toxins from the body. Hydrated lips are pink. Hydrated eyes have normal vision. Hair grows straight. Helps in digestion. Helps quench thirst. Helps in cleaning oneself. Helps in cleaning in dishwasher and washing machine. water helps in washing car. Dissolves salt, sugar and other solubles. Helps in cooling off, in air cooler and air conditioner. Is useful in religious ceremonies. Is useful in playing Holi. Water is useful in cooking and making milkshakes and juices. Water falling down from a height is  useful in generating hydroelectricity. Water is useful in agriculture. Water is useful in swimming pool. Water is used in hot water bag for massage. Water is useful in decorative fountains. Water is useful in aquarium. Water is useful for water transport  because of its fluidity. Water is a good coolant and used in motor vehicles to control the
temperature of the engine/ Water is universal solvent and is useful in facturies as well as
biological process.

Home Appliances

         How much of our lives do the home appliances account for?
         Well, more than one can tell....
To start a lovely day with brewing hot coffee from the coffee
maker and blend it with hot chocolate with a blender and
heat my breakfast in the microwave. It is soon time to dry
my hair with a hair dryer and press my dress with a handy iron,
smelling fresh as ever washed in the washing machine...
And when it is lunch time nothing like a milk shake from the
juicer and grill lunch in the cooking range grill and top it
with ice-cream from the refrigerator.
      If it is hot the air conditioner is a boon and on a cold day
the room heater makes the room warm and cozy.
      Doing dishes in the dishwasher in a jiffy and that to at
the tip of your fingers with the help of remote controllers...
and also attend to guests on the CCTV...  
       After I have spent my day working upon my laptop,
at the end of the day relax  and watch television by tuning
in to my favorite channels and listen to music and even
shake a leg...
     cleanliness is next to godliness and the robotic vacuum
cleaner cleans up the home.
The grid of wires, sockets , plugs and appliances makes my
home an electronic Home-sweet-home...
