FISH PAKORA

Ingredients

- 450g rohu or any other firm white fish fillets
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 tsp. garlic paste
- 2 tsp. ginger paste
- 1 tsp ajowan (carum)
- 3-4 green chilli
- 1\2 level tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp. Red chili powder
- 1 level tsp. salt 
- 1 tsp. ground Coriander
Basic batter
- 200 g. gram flour,  (besan)
-1 1\2 level tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. chilli powder
- 1 level tsp. ajowan seeds
- 1 level tsp. coriander crushed
- 1 tsp. garam masala
- 1\2 tsp. bicarbonate of soda- - 2 tbs. Coriander leave
- 2-3 drops of yellow food color
- about 300 ml water
1. Wash the fish and pat dry. Cut into 1 inch pieces. Rub the fish with lemon juice and put aside. Mix the garlic, ginger paste with salt, chilli powder, turmeric, green chillies, ground coriander and ajowan. Smear the fish pieces with spice paste. Set aside for at least 2 hours.
2.Place the gram flour and the remaining dry ingredients and food colour in a bowl. Pour in the water gradually and beat to a smooth paste. The consistency should be like thick pancake batter. Leave aside to rest for 20 minutes.
3. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a karahai to smoking point, then reduce the heat to medium.
4. Dip a few pieces of fish into the batter to thoroughly coat them, then using your fingers lift them out of the batter and at once drop them into the hot oil. Be careful not to splash yourself with hot oil. Don't try to fry too many at a time. Fry for a few minutes, then carefully turn them over. Fry the pakoras for 3-5 minutes to a crisp golden colour on both sides, drain thoroughly with a perforated slice. Then place them on absorbent kitchen paper.

Nosebleed

Nosebleed can be scary, but it is rarely cause for alarm. Most nosebleeds are caused by zealous blowing or picking, or a blow during rough play. In the wintertime, especially, if your child's bed is near a heater, the membranes inside the nose can become dried and itchy, causing your child to pick at his nose and further irritate the nasal tissue.

What to Do:

• Stay calm and reassure your child.

• Sit the child upright in a chair or in your lap and have him tilt his head slightly forward. Gently pinch his nose (just below the bony ridge) shut with a tissue or a clean washcloth. Keep pressure on the nose for about 10 minutes; if you stop too soon, bleeding may start again. Ice wrapped in a paper towel applied to the nose may also help.

• Do not have your child lean back. This may cause blood to flow down the back of the throat, which tastes bad and may initiate gagging, coughing, or vomiting.

• Keep your child quiet for several hours following the nosebleed. Discourage blowing, picking, rubbing, and any rough play.

Here are some tips for preventing future nosebleeds:

• To prevent picking, keep your child's nails short.
• Following a nosebleed, discourage strenuous activity, which may increase pressure on blood vessels and start the bleeding again.
• Keep the inside of your child's nose moist with saline nasal spray or dab Vaseline gently around the opening of the nostrils.
• If the air in your home is dry, humidify your child's room with a vaporizer (be sure to keep the vaporizer clean to prevent mildew).

Call your doctor, or head for the emergency room, if:

• your child gets a nosebleed as the result of a blow to the head or a fall
• you are unable to stop the nosebleed
• nosebleeds are frequent, or they last longer than 15 minutes
• your child has difficulty breathing
• there is bleeding from another place, such as the gums
• your child has just started taking new medicine
• there is a foreign body stuck in your child's nose

This is purely a non-political and non-partisan group established purely for the betterment of education for our children and to serve as bridge between the school management, Board of Directors and parents to create working relationship and harmony among them. Our motive is to serve the cause of education and help the needy students. They pay homage to Rana Matloob for his dedicated community services.

He has traveled all over the Kingdom to get the release of jailed Pakistanis on minor charges.

I had a chance to see them and the other royal members and executives and found them very cooperative, helpful. They have special place for Pakistan in their hearts. I am sure we Pakistanis also consider Saudi Arabia our second home and love the custodian of two holy mosques, his government and the people of Saudi Arabia. He said all Pakistanis are the ambassadors of Pakistan and advised them to abide by the laws and rules of the land where they live. He said my tenure in Saudi Arabia would always be memorable in my life where the Makkah and Madina are situated and I have been visiting these places frequently.

BALOCHISTAN

Balochistan is the largest province of Pakistan with an area about 343,000 square km. Although it is bigger than the British Isles, Its population is only about one million. This is perhaps due to its tough terrain and scarcity of water. To its south is Arabian Sea, to its west-Iran, and is almost entirely desert with low, dry hills rising from 300 meters to 2500 meters in the north. To its west, in the proximity of Iran, to its north is Afghanistan. It also shares boundaries with the provinces of Punjab, Sind and NWFP. Makran- an important coastal town of Balochistan more expansive desert plains reign supreme. This is where the Chagai and Toba Kakar Mountain Ranges form the borders of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
In winter the temperature falls to as low as - 30 Celsius while in summer it ranges from 18 to 30 C. One of the oldest Neolithic sites (6000 BC) is to be found at Mehr Ghar just south of Bolan Pass. This culture faded away in 3000 BC about the same time that the Indus Valley Civilization emerged.
Commercial point in Tiz with 'great warehouses, palm groves and a beautiful mosque, with people of all nations', simply dried up. From Balochistan passes the rout of the Euro-Asian Highway- from Zahedan in Iran to Taftan in Balochistan and on to Quetta. Another alternative road turns south from Kan-dahar in Afghanistan into Chaman in Balochistan - this was the route for Freight bound for Afghanistan arriving through Karachi harbor. Apart from its importance as a transit area, there are mineral resources, which are just beginning to be tapped. The Sui district has one of the largest gas deposits in the world. Balochistan is a province of contrasts. It has some of the bleakest landscape in the country with grim, jagged mountains, barren and arid land where the sparse greenery shrivels and wilts, but hidden away are some stunningly beautiful places.
Balochistan never became part of the Moghul Empire, and effectively remained an autonomous frontier tributary. Makran, once a thriving region with its capital in Panjgur.
Not many people know that Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, is considered as Mecca for gliding enthusiasts. The Climatic conditions are such that from June till September, warm air currents, also known as thermals, rise up from the Quetta valley to great heights. This phenomenon offers excellent conditions for gliding and soaring. It may surprise many that Quetta Flying Club is in existence since early 1960s. Flying for upto 9 hours, non-stop, and distances flown in excess of 200 kms. are common.

About 80 kms. north-east of Quetta is the famous town of Ziarat, a place where the father of the nation spent his last days. Ziarat boasts of Juniper forest one of its kind in the world. Some trees have ages in excess of thousand years. In winters, the rolling hills with the carpet of Juniper forests and snow claded tops present beautiful scenic view.
