Long power cut around Jajmau

 Recently, Jajmau residents faced a long power cut. It was quite intolerable. Some residents were reportedly sheltered at their relatives' residences in nearby localities. It was definitely a harrowing experience, undoubtedly. People, anyhow, tolerated the worst situation. Such a long-duration power failure in the main localities of the Jajmau area left hapless residents, old ladies, young mothers, and others leaving their homes for relatives' homes, where power supply continued without any disruption.  A totally different scene erupted over a little longer power disruption in Jajmau. There was no clear-cut information about the restoration of the power supply. The residents honestly endured the unsatisfactory situation with the support of an inverter up to 07 a.m.  Certain families moved to their relatives' places to beat the heat.  Even the political leaders kept on asking for the exact timing of the restoration of the normal electricity supply.

Spicy foods let us realise warmth in winter


If a seasonal change takes place upon our beautiful living planet, our restrained routine of meal taste also changes with all the hues accordingly. We choose different spicy foods with the changes in season. If colour is the story of our valued life, as we more often react, then ours life is as rich and vivid as any of the patterns we supposedly follow.

As the winter falls, we stoop to favour spicy foods on these intensely hazy colder days. Why do we become so in the colder winter season? It cannot be exactly described. 

We do not all accept the intake of simple traditional foods during icy cold winter days. We start tasting spicy items attainable on the roadside in small makeshift shops around the busy, raucous markets all witnessed all over the various areas.  

We tend to go to all those spots braving the unpredictable weather of the winter season. Street food lovers do not bother to care about bad weather to taste all the spicy varieties.

People generally avoid similar daily simple foods. Therefore, they try something quite distinct from the usual daily food with a spicy flavour. It does not come as a surprise to people looking for foods to bring change in their tongue tastes. Building excellent tastes takes time and patience. 

Many people tend to crave spicy foods during winter days because spices are said to have an intensely warming effect, making us feel warmer although they do not really raise your core body temperature. This particular perception is often rooted in traditional medicine practices where spices are seen as helping to dispel cold from the human body. 

When you eat spicy food, the capsaicin in chilli peppers triggers a burning sensation in the mouth, possibly making us realise momentarily warmer. 

In many cultures, especially those with colder climates, spicy food is associated with winter meals and is thought to provide more warmth. 

However, some believe that spices can promote blood circulation, which may contribute to a stark feeling of warmth. 

However, no actual temperature is supposed to change. While spicy food can make you feel warmer, it does not significantly raise your core body temperature. 

Some people may experience stomach discomfort from spicy foods, so listen to your body and eat according to your tolerance level.
