" Mara Chembu "

"What .....!!! ???"

This was my expression when my Mom told me that they took a' Mazha Chembu ' to carry water on her first vacation with dad ! Plastic bottles didn't exist then .
Talk about being naive .. she admits this was her stage of innocence ..! which makes her more beautiful :)
Going back few years.., While we were having a conversation about travel tips ..she told that there was no availability of water bottles in those days. They had to carry a "Mazha Chembu " and fill water at ever station the train stopped. It was a very funny to visualize this.

I remember using Plastic water bottles all the time since my schooling began.
Science and Technology definitely has made our life easy .. I was a huge fan bottled water until I read an article how plastic can be harmful to us. The polymers in plastic release phytoestrogens ( or some compound resembling estrogen) which act like estrogen in our body.

I have bought a new water bottle which is totally made of steel from a website.
Unlike the other steel water bottles available in the market, the inner side of the water bottle I is completely steel .. Else, How good is a stainless steel water bottle if it is made of plastic inside!

I will post the picture of it sometime soon.

My friends tease me for using everything made of steel . After all, it is better than using plastic ones . Sometimes I wonder , world is round.. we will go back to the same place where we started from !
