Bangalore: A month before it is scheduled to hand over power to its coalition partner, the H.D. Kumaraswamy-led coalition government is launching a massive housing project through five mega housing residential layouts spread over 15,000 acres of land around Bangalore.

A meeting of the Bangalore Development Authority board held here on Monday approved the formation of five new layouts, which will envelop about 1.76 lakh house sites of various dimensions.

Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy said that the five layouts would be developed simultaneously and the sites would be ready for allotment in about six months.

“The Government estimates the requirement of house sites in Bangalore at around 2.1 lakh and I am confident that the demand of the people will be met substantially,” Mr. Kumaraswamy told The Hindu.

“Milk stored within a few inches of fluorescent light in translucent containers usually has a detectable oxidized flavour within two to four hours and a distinct off-flavour within 12 hours,” said Robert Marshall, University of Missouri food science professor.

Fluorescent lights in dairy cases create an oxidized off-flavour in milk that some experts call ‘burnt.’ The closer the milk container is to the light, and the longer it stays there, the greater the chance of an off-flavour, Marshall said in a statement.

While the oxidation has little effect on milk’s nutritional value and is not related to bacteria, fluorescent light does inactivate riboflavin (vitamin B2) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Whole milk suffers the least because it has a high level of fat which blocks out the damaging wavelengths.

Milk in clear glass containers goes off-flavour quicker than milk in translucent plastic jugs, and opaque paper board cartons deter the problem altogether.

So when you buy milk, reach to the back of the dairy section.

Though I very much enjoyed the food out there I did miss my south Indian rasam and Rice. This was also the case when I was in America and I just wanted to come back here.

So people I would be posting some good food guides to include hotel recommendations, recipes etc to that may suit your taste buds. Though I may not be considered an expert I do love cooking and my preparations have been applauded and devoured by my friends and family with great interest.
