Eco Friendly Holi - Make Colours At Home

Eco Friendly Holi -Make Colours At Home
Play with natural Colours .

It is said that Lord Krishna used play Holi bright-orange Tesu flowers. Earlier, many people used to make natural colours for Holi at home. Today, most people might not be aware of this fact as we are used to ready made chemical colors. Often these chemical colours are harmful and we tend ignore it during the fun. But if you have time, then you can make your own natural colours at home.

  • Dry Red Colour: You can use red sandal wood powder. Powder of dry red hibiscus flowers mixed with any flour will give natural red colour.
  • Wet Red Colour: Mix turmeric powder in water and add few drops of lemon juice. Within seconds, you will get bright red colour.

  • Dry Yellow Colour: Mix two spoons of turmeric powder with four spoons of besan for bright yellow color.

  • Wet Yellow Colour: Mix Two spoons of turmeric in four liters of water and stir well.

  • Wet Orange or Saffron Colour: Peel around 12 large onions and boil in half liter water. Remove the onion peels. Now you will get an orange color with a light pink shade. Another method is to soak Tesu flowers in water for a night to get yellowish – orange color.

  • Dry Green Colour: Make a paste out of different leaves like spinach, coriander, mint etc in water and leave it to dry. Another method is to mix mehndi and any flour.
    Wet Green Colour: Take four spoons of henna and mix in two liter of water.

  • Wet Magenta Colour: Grate beetroot and soak in one liter water for magenta colour.

  • Wet Brown Colour: Boil tea or coffee in water and cool it.

If you are planning to play large scale Holi, then it is better to buy genuine natural colors from the market. This is because there is a limit to which you can produce natural Holi colours at home. There are more methods of making natural colours but it involves large scale use of flowers which are sadly not available in large quantities.

Andhra politicians drive Telangana Students to commit suicides

Telangana Will Remember Its Martyr's
Andhra politicians drive Telangana Students to commit suicides


My eyes are wet , as I write this , I choke to breath as I feel a lump in throat . Why I'am crying , its just because I pain to see my Telangana Brothers and sisters committing suicides for an legitimate cause . I'am crying over my helplessness, neither I cud save my T-Students lives nor I have guts like them to die along with them . Shame on me , shame on this life .Earlier I was a fighter , i fought great fights on streets over National issue . This Karsewak who bought down 400 yrs Babri structure down in one go at Ayodya , is hiding in home behind an computer . why I’am not able to repeat the same ?


Why I am showing my back and fleeing from the battle ?? why I am not chasing those who have infected wounds on Telangana hearts . I am confused ,With whom shud I fight , with Police who are led by Andhra officers , whose sadism crossed all the civil norms , or fight against my T-politicians for whom Power is more important than a cause or against Andhra Plutocrats who with their Money power have sabotaged my Telangana Dreams .


Now for some reasons I remember Mahabharat's ABHIMANYU who was tricked alone into 'Padmavyuham' and surrounded by Kaurava Army . But Abhimanyu was brave enuf to get into battle and die on battle field , fighting for dharma , unlike him I'am hiding behind the computer . Will ever Telangana history forgive me for my timidness ??? Will I ever forgive myself for living a hallow life ???



Martyr Yadigiri :: Yesterday an 19 year old Intemeditae student Yadagiri(Yadaiah) at Osmania University set himself fire for Telangana state . Later in the night he succumbed to burns and left this world , well before he can see Telangana state formed . He doused himself with petrol and lit it, this horrifying scene that left all dumb with shock and fear. As fire engulfed his body he dint forgot to give “ Jai Telangana” slogans all the way . With 85% burns and when para mediacal were shifting his burnt body he was still conscious of Telangana state. Till he died in hospital he was asking every Doctor and Visitor wheter Students Rally to Assembly was a Success or not . In a suicide note, he wrote that he was taking the extreme step to protest the delay in formation of Telangana state. The youth hails from Ranga Reddy district.


The saddest part of this Martyrs story is that he was an Orphan . He lost his parents in his childhood . He grew up in a Orphanage home in RR dist . He worked in nights to earn , so that he can pay his education fees . He is to work in at an Restarant in nights and attend college in morning . His heart was so big that he is to donate all the money he earned during nite shifts to his beloved orphanage Home , never used it for his comforts . He was gud in Sports as well , while in school he represented the State team .


Martyr Mohammed Savera : This girl was doing her FY graduation in Narasampet Warangal Dist . She saw Yadigiri setting himself blaze on TV and cudnot control her emotions . She took Kerosene stored in her kitchen , poured onherself and roaring with “ Jai Telangana “ slogans she lit the matchstick , which inturn burned her body before neighbours cud put off the fire . She suffered 80% burns . She was immediately rushed to local hospital . When localites turned upto hospital to see her were shocked when she bravely addressed them to fight till Telangana state is formed . She said not a drop of tear shud be wasted for her . And further said if her death can inspire some in their fight for Telangana she will consider herself lucky . All these brave words , were coming from a girl who was on a hospital bed with 80% burns .


Mohammed Savera was a daughter of an daily labourer . Her father too died at an young age . Both mother and child were daily labourers , she use to pay her college fees with whatever money she earned during her vacations . Thus she passed her Intermediate with quite a good marks and was doing Graduation until she immolated herself for the cause she believed in



Now I stand on my legs with a heavy Heart to pay tributes to all the Martyr's who have given their lives for the noble cause of Telangana State . And feeling shame as I could not join them in their Death . Forgive Me .

Andhra Cops terror on Telangana students for 2nd day

Cops do a horror film act in OU

A hero, making good his escape from police, getting stuck with a leg locked in the rails is a common scene in many movies. A real –life incident of a similar nature happened on the Osmania University campus on Sunday with the only difference that a film hero usually succeeds in freeing himself from the trap while the hapless protagonist it this act became meat for marauding cops who made mince of it.


Jangan Kumar , an MA student ,while running for cover into the Arts college could not make it fully before the watchman shut the main door to prevent cops from entering it. The cops then held on to the exposed portion of the leg and attacked it indiscriminately even as writhing Kumar tried in vain to pull it in By the time he could finally draw it inside the door, with the help of friends . Kumar‘s leg got fracture d. He is presently being treated at the Durgabhai Deashmukh hospital.


Kuamr was standing under the tent out side the Arts College on Sunday night when police, including the OU inspector and the Assistant Commissioner of Police walked in and threatened the students not to assemble there. When the students continued their agitation undeterred, the Police started wielding their lathis indiscriminately.


Students then began to run into the Arts College and Kumar was the last one on the run. “The Police caned my leg inhumanly. The other students had to pull me hard to bring the leg inside, Kumar said.


“Had the watchman not closed the door, I am sure some students would have been killed in the police assault “, Kumar told
.

With scores of students getting admitted, admitted, the Durgabhai Deshmuk hospital resembled a classroom.

The students alleged that it was police who or chest rated violence by maliciously resorting to stone pelting.


We were preparing for our exams when news broke out that JAC students were attacked by police. All girl students decided to take out a rally towards B hostel. We thought police will not dare attacked us since there were no women cops. But shamelessly and in an undemocratic manner, they had attacked us,” lamented an MA (Telugu) student, Swapna, who suffered rubber bullet in juries.


Swapna immediately fell down and, to her ill-fated, on a barbed wire leading to further injuries to her leg. She is now not in a position to move.


Girl students alleged that police used the filthiest language and vulgar gestures during the lathicharge. “We just cannot speak of it. Some students didn’t even come to the hospital out of disgust and fearing for their life,” said a girl student.


On campus,Tear gas fails to bring tears

WANT to know how to counter tear gas shells? Learn it from Osmanina University students who seem to have mastered the act.


Giving a shock to the police, OU students deactivated the tear gas shells within minutes of their firing preventing the smoke –emitting shells from causing any inconvenience. In fact, the students were seen inviting the police to lob the shells on them, when they clashed with the latter on the OU campus on Monday.


Whenever a policeman fired a tear gas shell, the students cheered, ran after it and deactivated it before the tear gas could actually start acting on them. Tear gas causes tears in eyes making it impossible for the affected person to see anything for some time.


Students poured sand on the shells and pinned them under boulders to render them ineffective. For many of them, the failed shells are a souvenir of their struggle for separate Telangana movement,” a student said showing a shell. Some students had a different way of repelling the shell attack. They collected the shells, soon after they were fired, into a cloth and hurled them back at the cops forcing the latter to retreat. Mostly, students at the B Hostel were seen adopting this technique.
