I can assure all our esteemed volunteers that circles will have the right to do their own thinking and take their own decisions so that whatever we plan takes off and progresses without delay. It is necessary that I have your feedback on the above. Based on what I elicit from you, we can crystallize our plan of action. Domail me o n vitochari@gmail.com andmark the subject as feedback.

The Amazing SALT— USESYOUMAYHAVENOTKNOWN Contributed by Mrs Mythili Chari 1. If you drop a whole egg on the floor, pour salt all over the egg, let it sit for a while, then use dustpan, the egg will come right up, without all that mess. 2. Soak stained hankies in salt water before washing. 3. Sprinkle salt on your shelves to keep ants away. 4. Soak fish in salt water before descaling; the scales will come off easier. 5. Put a few grains of rice in your saltshaker for easier pouring. 6. Add salt to green salads to prevent wilting. 7. Test the freshness of eggs in a cup of salt water; fresh eggs sink; bad ones float. 8. Add a little salt to your boiling water when cooking eggs; a cracked egg will stay in its shell this way. 9. A tiny pinch of salt with egg whites makes thembeat up fluffier.
