These days ivy is loved and hated in equal measure. On the one hand it is hailed as one of the best plants for wildlife. Its evergreen, waxy foliage provides shelter for birds to nest and insects to hibernate, and it also provides food for caterpillars of the holly blue butterfly and the double-striped pug, swallow-tailed and yellow-barred brindle moths. It flowers in autumn when very little else is in bloom – take a walk around mature ivy in autumn and you’ll hear it before you see it: the buzz of wasps, flies, hoverflies and bumblebees, plus the colourful flutter of the odd late-flying butterfly, are all testament to its popularity with pollinators. It even has its own bee – the ivy bee, Colletes hederae, feeds almost exclusively on its flowers.
Many rare insects are attracted to ivy flowers, including the golden hoverfly. The best chance to see golden hoverfly is by looking for adults visiting ivy flowers within the vicinity of ancient trees. However, the golden hoverfly has only been seen at four UK locations in the past ten years, so the chances of seeing one are very slim.
As evergreen species both ivy and holly were seen as especially powerful symbols during winter, and sprigs were brought into houses to keep evil spirits at bay.
Wearing a wreath of ivy leaves around the head is supposed to prevent one from getting drunk. The Roman god Bacchus, the god of intoxication, was often depicted wearing a wreath of ivy and grapevines.
Ivy was seen as a symbol of intellectual achievement in ancient Rome and wreaths were used to crown winners of poetry contests.
Wreaths were also given to winning athletes in ancient Greece. Regarded as the emblem of fidelity, priests would also present a wreath of ivy to newly married couples. Today it is still the custom for bridal bouquets to contain a sprig of ivy.

You may wonder why this isn a 100 years or more... I am told it is so well balanced it could lift hundreds of tonnes.using a 1.5 volt battery.. .if both lift are in use An object that sinks displaces an amount of fluid equal to the object's volume. Thus buoyancy is expressed through Archimedes' principle... It lifts barges from the Forth and Clyde to the Union canal.. In the pre-railway era the Central Belt of Scotland had two main canals. The Forth and Clyde Canal opened in 1790 and allowed ships to sail the 35 miles between the Clyde at Glasgow to the Forth at Grangemouth. En route they negotiated 40 locks and 32 swing bridges. The second main canal, the Union Canal, opened in 1822. It started in Edinburgh and followed a contour at 73m above sea level for some 30 lock-free miles through the coalfields it was designed to serve to Falkirk. At Falkirk the two canals were linked together by a ladder of 11 locks that allowed boats on the Forth and Clyde Canal to climb the 35m to the level of the Union Canal. ... Wheel is 35 metres tall, the equivalent of 8 double deckers buses stacked on top of each other... Cost £17.5 million to build1,200 tonnes of steel was used to create The Wheel The structure contains over 14,000 bolts and 45,000 bolt holes Over 1,000 construction staff helped to build it. The gondolas hold 500,000 litres of water, enough to fill an Olympic swimming pool.. The Wheel only uses 1.5kWh of energy to turn, the same amount as it would take to boil 8 household kettles... The wheel has an overall diameter of 35 metres (115 ft) and consists of two opposing arms extending 15 metres beyond the central axle and taking the shape of a Celtic-inspired, double-headed axe.. Two sets of these axe-shaped arms are connected to a 3.8 metres (12 ft) diameter central axle of length 28 metres (92 ft).[.. Two diametrically opposed water-filled caissons, each with a capacity of 250,000 litres (55,000 imp gal; 66,000 US gal), are fitted between the ends of the arms.. The caissons or gondolas always carry a combined weight of 500 tonnes (490 long tons; 550 short tons) of water and boats, with the gondolas themselves each weighing 50 tonnes (49 long tons; 55 short tons)... Care is taken to maintain the water levels on each side, thus balancing the weight on each arm. According to Archimedes' principle, floating objects displace their own weight in water, so when the boat enters, the amount of water leaving the caisson weighs exactly the same as the boat.[23][32] This is achieved by maintaining the water levels on each side to within ±37 millimetres (1.5 in) using a site-wide computer control system comprising water level sensors, automated sluices and pumps. It takes just 22.5 kilowatts (30.2 hp) to power ten hydraulic motors, which consume just 1.5 kilowatt-hours (5.4 MJ) per half-turn, roughly the same as boiling eight kettles of water. The two caissons are 6.5 metres (21 ft) wide, and can hold up to four 20 metres (66 ft) long canal boats... Watertight doors at each end match doors located on the upper structure and lower dock pit. Due to space concerns, where a normal hinged door would dramatically reduce the useful length of the caisson, vertically rising doors were chosen.[34] The doors are raised from a recess in the base of the caisson and powered by a hydraulic lance

Farzi is one restaurant I have wanted to be at the most but it, ironically, has taken me the longest. The reasons for this happening were plenty but I finally made it to Farzi last week and there was a sense of excitement and relief in equal measure.
The place is funky, chic and bohemian but I would not want to delve on it any more as it takes my focus away from what makes Farzi the best new restaurant in town - food and drinks.
Many people label the food here as molecular gastronomy but I think its akin to calling all Indian food "curry"; it strips away from the complexity of what's on your plate. Farzi is multi sensory cooking (as Blumenthal says); you don't just eat with your tongue but your eyes and other senses. Yes, there are elements of molecular gastronomy involved but (as my review ahead will tell) it is more a take on taking classic combinations or flavours and twisting them around.
Anyway, gyaan aside, our evening began with a mishti doi lollipop. Molecular gastronomy, spherification to be precise, was visible here. As soon as you bite into it though, you get that fabulous sweet and tart hit of mishti doi. Even though it was presented in such a fancy way, it tasted amazing and authentic.
Next came a drink called Apple Foamtini - a take on the classic apple martini, this had a light frothy apple flavoured foam and then a tart, cold hit of the great martini. Brilliant combination and a great drink this.
Next on the menu was a mini raj kachori with okra and chutney foam. Yeah, raj kachori with crisp okra and a chutney foam!! - mind blown. The kachori was stuffed with dahi, green chutney and the works but guess what, it was completely closed. After this piece of sorcery, when I tasted the kachori it was as good as any Delhi- 6 outlet. The chutney foam gave the "saunth kick" but it was way lighter. The crisp okra was great and I was told that the idea behind okra was that it goes well with yoghurt.
This, I believe, is the spirit of Farzi. The moment you bite into the food (or sip a drink) it feels familiar and utterly delectable. Also, every element has a reason to be there, not just to be fancy.
Next came a light, refreshing orange-vanilla drink called Farzi OK. Balanced, sweet and sour with a very light flavour of kaffir lime, this is what you will want to drink all evening.
Next came a portion of chilli pork ribs. Very well cooked ribs with a slathering of luscious chilli sauce. Wonderful.
I moved onto one of the many superstars on the menu (tapas menu), sarson ke gilawat with corn and cheese tostadas. Sarson ka saag becomes a FANTASTIC sarson gilawat kebab here. The makki di roti takes the form of corn (makki) popcorn. Corn and cheese tostadas provide warmth and there are even elements of safed makhan, sirka and pyaaz in this. You will fall in love.
The gastronomic adventure took me to my favourite dish amongst the pantheon of dishes - tenderloin pathar ke kabab with walnut and wasabi chutney. I'd say if you like meat, have this dish. If you do not like meat, have this dish. Dammit, if you are vegetarian - have this dish!!!! - it is that good.
In between we had a palette cleanser- rose water and coconut payasam foam with rose petal dust before the prawn tempura with nimbu chutney foam arrived. I have never had better prawn tempura in my life, period. I have to write a bigger review on this alone but lets leave that for now.
I had the braised lamb chops next along with cheeni ka paratha with duck liver maska. Cheeni ka paratha was farzified with a foie gras butter and all I could think of was why mom never served such delicious "cheeni ka parathas" when I was younger.
I had the chilli duck samosas, pulled pork bun and the galouti burger next. I am running out of space to write about how brilliant each dish was. The samosa was halwai khasta; the duck was flavourful and the sweet plum sauce brought the entire dish together.
Similarly, the pulled pork bun was So Goan yet so Farzi. There was flavour from the pork; the buns gave it airiness and the Goan puffed rice gave it crunch. *drool*
The gilawat burger came in a box and the soft and magnificent galouti was given a bit of bite by a layer of boti kebab. You have to admire the thought process.
The Mutton Irachi pepper fry came along with a malabari paratha and was sublime but the icing on the cake was the gucchi pulao risotto. Perfectly creamy risotto with morsels of expensive gucchi topped with a salty parmesan crisp. You have to taste it to understand how brilliantly flavours work together.
The CTM or chicken tikka masala came in a London telephone booth, what a cheeky idea. I will say that the "national dish" of Britain tasted way better at Farzi.
There are three special drinks I will recommend. The flaming Farzi tower was an event on its own – flambéed shots (Baileys, Sambucca, Vodka, Kahlua and Absinthe) caramelizes and forms a drink at the bottom. The red wine spaghetti shots were great too – acidic and sweet and it was a vision as well. Finally, there was the B-52 bomber that was basically B-52 shooters, spherified, so in effect you eat the shot!
Yes I had a tiny speck left in my stomach to try desserts and the best two came. The Parle G cheesecake is the most photographed Farzi dessert on the web and it tasted as good as it looked. My question before tasting it was if the Parle G would really work with a creamy cheesecake and voila, it does. It lends the dish crunch and saltiness - splendid.
The other dessert - rasmali tres leches was even better. First of all you need to admire it as it sits on your table - it’s that pretty. Then you start eating it to try and understand how brilliant the flavours are. The sponge is three layered filled with carrot cream bathing in "rasmalai" milk. If this dish does not Farzify you, I don’t know what will.
The evening ended with a final flourish - gujiya shaped, pan flavoured cotton candy!! The pan was dehydrated and it gave a delightful punch. You know how it tasted but it also brought a tinge of nostalgia with it. Farzi is all about that - senses, flavours and a little bit of magic.
Lastly, we do not just have to applaud Zorawar, Chef Saurabh and the entire team behind Farzi but give them a very loud, "Dilliwala" wolf whistle for bringing Farzi to us.
#Farzified forever.
XOXO

The Latin phrase ceteris paribus – literally, “holding other things constant” – is commonly translated as “all else being equal.”
The motto strenuis ardua cedent means ‘the heights yield to endeavour’, or, in other words 'hard work is what leads to success'.
Ian wondered whether he still had his school scarf. I said “It’s in the bottom drawer of the tallboy”. He investigated and found a scarf which I thought was his, and he thought was mine. We have been carrying it around in our numerous house moves over the last 44 years, each believing it to be the other’s.
Anyway Miss Google told us it was a Southampton University scarf. I have zero recollection of how I acquired it, as I didn’t study at Southampton University. However, I did have an association with the University as I went to plays at the Nuffield Theatre there, often, and attended University dances, and events. I also had friends who studied there, and my best friend married one of the students, so anything is possible …

“Home is the place where socialization of a child begins, and where the biggest change can happen about the empowerment of the girl child. Mothers and fathers, and guardians alike, need to be made aware that both girls and boys are equal and that no preferential treatment should be given to any of them.” - UN Division for the Advancement of Women
Nothing eases the sting of discrimination like equal treatment.
"Jack Ma often speaks about how KFC discriminated against tall lanky people. Out of 29 candidates, he was specifically singled out from hiring on that grand opening. They hired the other 28 candidates ahead of him. Somehow meeting Jerry Yang, and starting Alibaba group, to become a billionaire, has still not erased all of that discrimination pain."
- Hugo Hsu, Compliance Auditor at Welcome Services, Inc.
Prejudice and discrimination, regardless of the basis, creates harm, the resolution of which is simple to talk about, difficult to enforce, but making equality a standard makes a difference. Not just mouthing the words or passing an HR compliance test about equality under the law, embodiment.
One can train oneself to feel empathy for everybody to form a just and creative society.
