In India, mobile ice cream shops roam around the city irrespective of the weather conditions. Parched throats eagerly wait for the ice cream vendor to come rolling his stock and announcing his arrival by either bell or cry out aloud.
They are still there. Obviously, they are not yet exposed to micro blogging medias like Twitter.
But, it is not so in LA. Coolhaus sells handmade ice cream sandwiches from a pink and chrome converted postal jeep. Since the ice cream is delicious, it has a huge customer base.
Since it is a mobile ice cream shop, Coolhaus announces the daily location of sales through Twitter.The followers of Coolhaus seem to literally follow Coolhaus.
Want to follow Coolhaus?
Help yourself please. (@coolhaus),

Drink mocktails without actually mixing.

So, what do you make out of this picture?
I would say it is a new way of drinking mocktails without actually mixing the fruit drinks like in a cocktails where ingredients are mixed together to generate a new taste.
The picture shows two person can suck the drinks from three different glasses and they can taste a different drink because all the three different drinks pass through a single straw.
What an innovation!

Amazing facts about Banana.
This is interesting. After Reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.
Bananas . Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression : According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS : Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure : This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure.
So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke
Brain Power : 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation : High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help
restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers : One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels,while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn : Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness : Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites : Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves : Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system. Overweight and at work? Studies at the
hours to keep levels steady
Ulcers : The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal
disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) : Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6,B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress : Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the
heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be balanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes : According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine,"eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

The most spectacular discovery in the human history.
This is a rock on sea in Birmania. You can see this rock only once in a year with a special angle of the sun and light conditions. Just bend your head to the left and see what the rock shows along with its image on the water.
This is the most spectacular discovery by a man in the human history. Whomsoever first spotted this reflection on the water should be given the highest price for art.
Just to amuse yourself, cover the reflection part of the image with a piece of paper and look at the rock only.
It is just amazing!

Nudge and jostle. You could save a life!
Who can ever imagine your indecency could save a life? It is a common etiquette in office not to bother colleagues unnecessarily.
We just leave them at their desk and allow them to do their job attentively-right.
Here is an incident that could have been averted had a colleague just cared to say 'Hi'.
Oh God! What a way to die! But I am happy his death was peaceful to him and to everybody around him.
