Kitchen Vastu

Vastu for kitchen is important since kitchen represents the “Fire” element. I am sure you already know that fire, in controlled environment, is beneficial, but if the same – yes very same – fire goes out of hand then it obliterates everything and anything in its way. The above statement holds true for both types of fire – the actual fire and symbolic fire. Getting confused? Just read on and everything will make sense to you in a moment. As actual fire transforms uncooked or raw food into edible one, in the same manner, symbolic fire provides heat to your physical body and desires to your spiritual self for everything in life. Imagine, what would  happen if symbolic fire within you died? You start to lose hope in life; all the “burning desires” come to end; your body becomes cold. On the other hand, what would happen if the same fire – symbolic one – goes out of control? You start to suffer medically, the “burning desires” will make you mentally sick and you start to lose your posit

Top 5 Earthquake Resistant Structures Around the World

By -
Image
Earthquakes are one of the most destructive forces of nature. Structures and infrastructures suffer the most when an earthquake strike a seismically active region in the world. Seismic loadings must, therefore, be taken into account when designing structures especially those that are considered as skyscrapers. Let’s roam around the world together and discover the top 5 earthquake proof structures and learn how buildings can be designed to resist extreme seismic loadings. How do earthquakes happen? As an engineer, it’s important to initially understand what the problem is to make the solving part easy. So, what exactly is an earthquake and how do they happen? Everyone knows about the existence of tectonic plates and how they influence the movement of the Earth’s crust. Earthquakes happen when these tectonic plates collide with each other and produce large magnitudes of energy measured using the Richter scale. The movement of these tectonic plates can be attributed to one simp

LIVING ROOT BRIDGES

Living root bridges   are a form of  tree shaping  common in the southern part of the  Northeast Indian  state of  Meghalaya . They are handmade from the  aerial roots  of Rubber Trees (  Ficus elastica ) by the  Khasi  and  Jaintia  peoples of the mountainous terrain along the southern part of the  Shillong Plateau . The pliable tree roots are made to grow through betel tree trunks which have been placed across rivers and streams until the figs' roots attach themselves to the other side. Sticks, stones, and other objects are used to stabilize the growing bridge This process can take up to 15 years to complete. The useful lifespan of any given living root bridge is variable, but it is thought that, under ideal conditions, they can in principle last for many hundreds of years. As long as the tree they are formed from remains healthy, they naturally self-renew and self-strengthen as their component roots grow thicker.               For more info:  Click H
