Installing a Feng Shui Aquarium at home is a very traditional practice to enhance wealth and energy levels.

Although nowadays, aquariums decorated with colored fishes and bubbling water is considered to be a decorative element. But actually it is a combination and perfect balance of several Feng Shui factors to attract energy and wealth in abundance. A properly set Feng Shui aquarium decorated with Feng Shi factors is believed to bring in lot of prosperity and good luck. It can help a lot in stimulating inflow of money and luck at home. However, there are certain important points that should taken utmost care of during installation.

* The best part to place a Feng Shui Aquarium is in the South-east area of your home which is a Feng Shui storehouse for energy and wealth. Also, North indicates Career and East points to Health and Family. The bedroom and kitchen are a wrong place for a Feng Shui aquarium, as this may direct the unwanted energies to these areas. The wrong placing of a Feng Shui aquarium may give a way to many unwanted Feng Shui energies.
* The breed and color of fish does actually matters a lot in this case. Certain breeds such as ‘Arrowana', ‘Dragon Fish' and the ‘Purest Arrowanas' are considered to be an icon of Feng Shui wealth. However, ‘Koi' and ‘Goldfish' are equally effective. A red fish should be avoided as the red color is said to represent fire. And there are possibilities of fire clashing with the water element of the aquarium. The age-old Feng Shui practice suggests placing of orange and silver color fishes with a black one. The role of this lonely black fish is very symbolic and sensitive in Feng Shui. It is said to absorb all the negative energies within it, thus preventing it from reaching you. Although there are a lot of controversies among the traditional practitioners regarding the number of fishes to be kept, but 8 or 9 with a black one among them has proved to be quite effective.
* The shape of the aquarium is actually related to the placement area of the aquarium, which should be taken care of. It is always advised by the professionals to go for a square or rectangular shape if placed in the South-east area and a round shape if it is in the North area. The round shape can be allowed for the South-east part but the size has to be smaller.
* It is advisable to keep the water in the Feng Shui aquarium bubbling and not still. The sound and motion of bubbling water stimulates flow of positive energy and also helps in adding humidity to a dry room in addition. It is even better, if a bright shining light is projected in to the aquarium. These factors not only projects magical ambience of water shadows over the walls, but are believed to attract ‘Chi' - the bright and positive Feng Shui energy.

Keeping aside all these points, the most important part is to keep your aquarium and water clean and oxygenated with some green aquatic plants in it. This would create a healthy environment for the fishes and a happy place to play around. A fresh and beautiful aquarium with lively fishes moving around will automatically drive in positive energies and good thoughts in your life. A rightly placed Feng Shui aquarium which is taken care of regularly would definitely act as an energy and wealth amplifier for you and your home.

Durga Puja is also celebrated in the other corners of the country such as Delhi, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab and even in Kashmir, Karnataka and Kerala. Durga Puja festival s not only the biggest festival of Bengalis all over the world Bengal, but also the most important socio-cultural occasion of the Hindu society. These days the festival of Durga Puja has found its place not only through out the nation, but even beyond. This festival of Duga Puja is celebrate with glory in the fullest swing in Nepal, Bangladesh, and even in the countries such as United States of America, Switzerland, United Kingdom, France, Australia, Germany, Kuwait, etc.



Durga Puja festival is a 10 Days long festival that starts off on Mahalaya (the day of new moon) – the first day, when Goddess Durga is believed to come in to the world to destroy the evil. The festival ends up on Dashumi – the last day, when the Goddess Durga is believed to go back to her heavenly home, leaving behind the trails of happiness, goodness and purity. This is the day of the Lord's victory over the unrighteousness and is celebated as Vijaya Dashami or Dussehra, which means "The Victorious Tenth Day" of the war. The salient ritual of Durga Puja spans a five days period – Maha Sashti – the Sixth Day after the day of new moon, Maha Saptami - the Seventh Day, Maha Ashtami – the Eighth Day, Maha Nabami – the Ninth Day and Vijaya Dashami – the last Day. The most notable feature of the foreign celebration of Durga Puja festival is that, a grand Durga Puja ceremony was carried out the Great Court of the British Museum in the year 2006.



Durga Puja is the worship of Goddess Durga – the symbol of overwhelming power, valour and invincibility. This festival involves the worship of the creative energy that demolishes the evil power of destruction. The mighty Goddess Durga is believed to be exquisitely beautiful with ten arms and three eyes each shaped like a petal of lotus. The lush dark hair rippling down to her waist and the bright glow of her skin gives her look a beauty of entirely different dimension. Her eyes emit the glow of fierceness while killing the fiercest demon – the symbol of evil power and destruction.


Durga Puja festival comes once every year in the month of October, But the spirit arrives much earlier when the tiny baskets of milk white clouds could be seen amidst the vast blue sky. The chants of religious hymns of "Mahishasura Mardini" raise up the spirit to a great extent right before the Durga Puja. The countdown begins much earlier and the garment stores of the malls start waving off with loads of garments of the most contemporary fashions for all generations. Bengali homes are decorated with new stuff. Sweets are an essential part of the thing. Fun treads up to the zenith. People of all generations forget their pains and simply flag on the voyage to the world of enjoyment – miles away from the hectic bustle of life.

Sri Loknath Baba

Some sculptures inside the modern temple of Baba Lokenath.

The Modern Temple of Baba lokenath beside his ancestral house in Chakla.

The Place where he used to perform Yagnas

The Ancestral House of Baba Lokenath.



Great souls have come to mankind to uplift their lives and the way to lead it. They have always inspired mankind to master the art of living in a way to stay close to purity and happiness. Sri Loknath Baba was one such eminent personality who still glitters in million of Bengali hearts. Amongst a few – a very few semi-legendary Hindu saints, who marked their names all across India and even abroad, Sri Loknath Baba was the one.

Born on Janmastami (the birthday the Lord Krishna) in the year 1730 to a Bramhin family, just a couple of miles away from Kolkata, in a village of Chaurasi Chakla, Baba Lokenath Brahmachari grew up in the simplest way possible. His father Ramnarayan Ghosal and mother Kamaladevi soon realized that their little Loknath was a bit too different from the rest of the boys in the society. It was the very dawn of his life that Loknath initiated to the service of the Almighty and continued serving God till the last drop of his life. Pandit Bhagwan Ganguli, a saint, who used to reside in a nearby village of Kochuya became little Loknath's guru and taught him Shastras. Gradually he entered into an eternal world and sacrificed all the general comforts of life. At the age of 11 years Loknath stepped out towards the forest holding his Gurus hand and stayed there of 25 years, serving his Guru selflessly and practicing Ashtanga Yoga and Hatha Yoga. After this Baba Lokenath Brahmachari went to the Himalayas for meditation in nude. After nearly five decades of meditation he attained enlightenment at the age of ninety years.

This seven feet tall saint with skeletal structure, marked his name all over the country and his teaching were endeared by the common mass of the society. His precious preaching of love, devotion and faith in the Almighty have turned out to be the life style of millions of people across the nation. He said: "I have seen only My self. I am bound by my own karma. The materialistic world is bound by the tongue and the sex organ. He who can restrain these two is fit to attain enlightenment".

Fengshui Aquarium

Complete fengshui aquarium set up with fishes.

Feng shui aquariums are a beautiful and potent feng shui cure to attract the energy of wealth and abundance. Placed right, and taken care of wisely, they will amplify the energy in any space and attract more wealth Chi.

Aquariums are auspicious because they bring a harmonious combination of several wealth attracting feng shui factors, as well as a perfect balance of all 5 feng shui elements:

* Feng Shui Water element (the water in the aquarium)

* Feng Shui Wood Element (the plants in the aquarium)

* Feng Shui Metal element (in the aquarium structure)

* Feng Shui Earth element (the small rocks and gravel at the bottom of the aquarium)

* Feng Shui Fire element ( red, orange and gold yellow colors of the fish, as well as the aquarium lighting)

The best area to place your feng shui aquarium is in the Southeast (the feng shui Wealth and Abundance area) followed by North (Career) or East (Health and Family.)

Never place an aquarium in your bedroom, or in your kitchen, as this brings unwanted feng shui energies to these two areas, in other words, an aquarium is bad feng shui for your bedroom and your kitchen.

The most famous feng shui wealth fish is the arrowana, or dragon fish, and the purest arrowanas are known to command quite high fees. However, the koi, or gold fish, are just as effective, as well as a pleasure to look at. Go for 8 or 9 fish, one of them being black.

As with any feng shui cure, keep it fresh, keep it beautiful, send it good energy/good thoughts and do not forget to take good care of it! Your feng shui aquarium will only work effectively as a potent feng shui wealth cure if the water is clean and oxygenated, the fish are happy and healthy, the plants are vibrant green and the lighting is good.

Spending some time with your aquarium, enjoying it and taking good care of it, as well as being clear of its feng shui role will strengthen its energy as a feng shui wealth cure.

10 more reasons to have sex...

1. Do you have a blocked or stuffy nose or are you suffering from asthma or hay fever? To cure these ailments indulge in lots of love making as
sex is a natural antihistamine.

2. Suffering from headache? Immidiately head for the bed as a love making session can cure you of headache by realising tension that blocks the blood vessels in your brain.

3. Suffer from bad breath? Start the practise of kissing your wife while going out as kissing encourages saliva to wash down food bits from teeth and reduce the acid level in your mouth that causes tooth decay.

4. Insomania? Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the whole universe far better than valium.

5. Do you know that the more you have sex the more you will be offered. Increase of sexual encounters increases the secretion of a chemical called pheromone and the subtle fragnance of pheromene drives other sex crazy in having sex with you.

6. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression , it releases endorphins in y our blood that produces a sense of feel good and euphoria.

7. Did you know that sex is the best exercise, it stretches ,tones and shapes almost all your muscles and its certainly far more enjoyable than jogging or swiming.

Whispering Corridor

Now it has become fashionable to maintain and run for niche blogs, but reading a niche blog is not fun always, they are too technical and often boring. The actual flavor of blogging comes from general and personal blogs. Blogs that discusses about various issues of life, questions and teases our brain cells are few, but are generally very interesting and informative. Unfortunately we don’t really get to see this genre of blogs that often. It’s not as easy as writing a technical blog. In fact a personal general blog deals so much with emotion, feelings and experiences that is why it becomes quite difficult to find bloggers who delves into these subtle side of life. I have recently found a blog called Whispering Corridor that is a clean general blog that is designed on a white based design theme and deals with various issues and aspects, like a combination of expression of thoughts and sentiments, socialization, entertainment, information, technology, downloads and money-making .

Red banana

We have seen a variety of bananas but mostly they are yellow in colour. There is also another variety of banana that is red in colour ( a reddish-purple skin ) . These types of bananas are quite similar to the yellow ones we eat. Only its little softer and sweeter with a raspberry-banana flavor . They are generally imported from Costa-rica to USA and are little stouter and plumper ( In India, though , we get red bananas that are about 8 inches and above) than the ordinary yellow bananas we normally consume. These red bananas can be eaten exactly like the yellow ones and these types of bananas are mostly used for preparing those snacks and foods that requires the banana to fried ,baked or roasted.
