Introduction to The Ministry Of Crab by Mahela & Sanga 

According to the overviews of Mahela & Sanga about this,

The inception of Ministry of Crab is attributed to an episode of Chef Dharshan Munidasa’s TV show “Culinary Journeys with Dharshan”, which featured the Sri Lankan Lagoon Crab, showcasing how it was sourced in Sri Lanka and exported to Singapore to be made into the famous Singapore Chilli Crab. It was during the course of this shoot that the initial idea of creating a crab restaurant was born, as a culinary homecoming for this majestic crustacean, which had long been more renowned overseas than in Sri Lanka.🦀🌏🌍

🦀When brainstorming names for a Crab restaurant in its country of origin, Dharshan felt it was necessary to have a powerful institution-like name; and so, the title, “Ministry of Crab” was established.🦀🍃🍲

Infinit Fantacy Between Time Travelling and Love - Mr.Queen

Mr. Queen👑️

The story revolves around a king and a queen as well as time travelling.👸🤴

A modern chef suddenly becomes trapped inside the body of a queen from the Joseon Era, which causes chaos for everyone involved.Realizing that he is trapped by the queen, he decides to go back to his time, adapting to the queen's normal behavior, and spending about three months having a very difficult but fun time.😋

Although he claims to be in the present, he stays in this body and studies further about that reign because others do not believe it. The chef revolutionized the monarchy and began to prepare a variety of dishes using his current experience and training, as he realized that he had nothing to do with with the monarchy. 👑️💫

 

The way she  use techniques and experiences to cook       🧡

He learn all the customs and beliefs of the time also learn all the learning methods available at that time.

Somehow, he prepares a variety of dishes and drinks to the amazement of the palace and  persuades the king to find out all the troubles that befell the queen before he was trapped in this body.❤️‍🔥

And also, according to the stories he has read about the reign of this king in the past  and the history he has learned, this cook  knows that the king in this era was a very weak ruler and he helps the king by entering the role of the queen in anyway he can. 🙇😊

The play , which is a satire on politics, contains a number of hilarious scenes.😂😃

Whenever there was a  cruel conspiracy against the king during the monarchy and when  the king was helpless, she enriched the reign of that Joseon era by changing the king and history by giving different advices according to the various things she ( he ) has learned from today.🕠🕑

Queen Dowagar, Prime Minister , Second Queen Dowagar, Hwa GI Yin,  are the other main characters in this drama and we can get them as the main enemies of this drama.. 👿

Queen Dowagar.

Second Queen Dowagar

Initially ,  I was become a big fan of K dramas after watching this one. Mr. Queen has got my attention very much . because, I always searching for cooking shorts and you tube shorts about food.🍜🌮🥪🌭

The most funniest thing is, from this  drama we can see how Koreans found Ramen as a main dish of their tradition.🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜

No matter how faminished I get, Ramen is what I crave.......😉😊

The Fear Of Death And The Demonic Possession

THE CONJURING

'The series begins with the theme of death and horror, in 2013.  Edde and Lorraine Warren, a couple who deals with evil spirits and talks about  an event that how they helps people who are suffering from invisible forces to be cast out.👻

The main Characters Of The Series

''Valak, Who takes the form of a Nun is actually a trait created by the film makers. Instead , the Demon described in mythology as a child with angel wings that rides on a two- headed dragon''🐉🐲

.The conjuring turned the horror film art upside down and broke box office records as well...Thus, it is not surprising that this is still the only film that cannot be removed from my personal collection.💾🖥️🎥

The Haunted Doll In The Movie - Annabelle creation - 2016🎞️📽️

 Annabelle Comes Home - 2019🎞️📽️

''Not all dolls are adorable, Some of them are Annabelle''

Due to the immense popularity of the first film, they created the Annabelle 2014 film with a sequel to the same story, which, despite being low cost, broke box office records and made a record income, another special beginning in the series.💀

🎬🎥The conjuring 2 was a box office success in 2016, with the Annabelle Creation film in 2017 and The nun in 2018, with the revenue and success of the original screenings. Two films in a row will be released in 2019, The Curse of La Llorona and Annabelle Comes Home respectively. 🎥🎬

the conjuring three; The release of the devil made me do it movie is scheduled to take place in the year 2020 but due to Pandemic situation of covid 19 it was postponed till the year 2021.⚠️️

This movie is different from all the other movies and is more interesting than all the other movies. The story is based on an event that unleashes an invisible force that surrounds an 8-year-old child.

👻🕸️As in previous stories, Edde and Lorraine can do nothing here, and they are so helpless that it finally becomes apparent how Arne summons the demonic spirit in that little boy into his body and traps him in the cruelty of that demonic spirit..👻.

 

"Diabolical forces are formidable. These forces are eternal, and they exist today. The fairy tale is true. The devil exists. God exists. And for us, as people, our very destiny hinges upon which one we elect to follow."

The Latest Work Of Oliver Sacks On Music - Tales of Music and the Brain

Musicophilia .

🎶Music and the brain, both are endlessly fascinating subjects.🎶

 As a student who is ambitious to be a Psychological Therapist in Music, I've read this many times,as much as possible that i can...📚📖️

I had high expectation of Musicophilia, the latest offering from neurologists and prolific author Oliver Sacks.✒

 Sacks himself is the best part of Musicophilia. He richly documents his own life in the book and reveals highly personal experiences. The photograph  of him on the cover of the book which shows him wearing headphones, eyes closed , clearly enchanted as he listens to Alfred Brendel perform Beethoven's pathetique Sonata- makes a positive impression that is borne out by the contents of the book. 📖️🎼

The Author Of The Book MUSICOPHILIA

Oliver Sacks

Sacks's voice throughout is steady and erudite but never pontifical. He is neither self-conscious nor self-promoting.The preface gives a good idea of what the book will deliver.🔊

 In it Sacks explains that he wants to convey the insights gleaned from the "enormous and rapidly growing body of work on the neural underpinnings of musical perception and imagery,and the complex and often bizarre disorders to which these are prone."

In here we can observe that the book is partly divided in to 3 main parts.

🎶 Part one -  " Haunted by music" 

🎶Part two - " A range of Musicality"

🎶Part Three - " Memory,Movement and Music " (Triple M)

📖️In part one, it  begins with the strange  case of ' Tony Cicoria', a nonmusical, middle aged man who was consumed by a love of music after being hit by lightening💥 According to the book it was a trauma and subsequent " conversion "to music.🎶🎧

📖️In part Two, A Range of Musicality covers a wider variety of topics, but unfortunately most of theories that he presented to us were old as well as some of chapters offer little, that is new. In Chapter 13..., which is five pages long, speaks about the sharpness of a hearing of a blind man. In Chapter 8... he expresses the idea of a highly specific impairment of the ability to hear harmony, with the ability to understand melody left intact.🎧💆

🎼🎶🎵💆🎧

📖️In Final Part - Part Three  brings us into the underappreciated realm of music therapy.

In chapter 16...... it explains how " melodic intonation therapy" is being used to help expressive aphasic patients ( those who are unable to express their thoughts verbally following a stroke or other cerebral incident) once again become capable of fluent speech.🙇🤷

However,To readers who are unfamiliar with neuroscience ( as all of us) and music behaviour ( not like us)..., Musicophilia may be something of a revelation ,as well as a motivation for those who are looking for continue their career by doing Music and willing to be a Therapist in Music. 👩‍⚕‍

Finally .. I recommend this book to all of you,

If you can find it 📖️

The Story Of The Magic Potion - Asterix🍃

 Asterix

This is one of the funniest cartoons I 've ever watched.

Asterix is a French comic book series  based on a story about Gaulish Warriors, written by Rene Goscinny and it has 39 books  which are translated in to many languages📖️📚 , Asterix it self, later aired as a television series and was released in 2018 as a 3D animated cartoon film.🎥🎬

Set in Rome, it highlights a battle between Roman soldiers and the Gauls during Caesar's reign.🍃🤴👑️

I've loved this cartoon since I was a child, and I know we all enjoyed watching it very much. 📺♥️

No wonder it's so popular with Astrix and Obelisk's heroic and hilarious jokes.😄

  Getafix - Doctor of the village

Astrix And Obelix

The main characters are Asterix, who fights well due to Gateflix' s magic potion, and Obelix, who fell into magic when he was a child.👶

Short and wiry Asterix, his menhir-toting

 friend Obelix, the magic potion brewing-druid Getafix, the village chief Vitalstatistix, the blacksmith Fulliautomatix, the fishmonger Unhygienix, and the little white Dogmatix are fuller and rounder than we remember

 These Vikings are always fighting along with the goal soldiers against their cruelty💂

The way, how they fight with Roman Soldiers😅😄

Here, we could see that 'The Caesar' is always trying to get that village where the Ykings are live with peace. He uses various tactics to persecute the villagers as well as he tries to steal their magic potion to strengthen his army.Thus, we can point to him as the main villain here..

A Traditional Trapping Method - To Catch Gooseneck Barnacles

 Gooseneck Barnacles  

               Scientific Name - Pollicipes pollicipes

 There are many aquaculture systems in Sri Lanka, including 'Gooseneck Barnacles', (kind of a specific sea oyster with elongated legs to sticking to a certain surface) which are farmed for economical  purposes. And now, it could be observed that there is greater tendency for this  cultivation of marine  organisms. 

(Some species of gooseneck barnacles are pelagic and are most frequently found on tidewrack on oceanic coasts. Unlike most other types of barnacles, intertidal gooseneck barnacles depend on water motion rather than the movement of their cirri for feeding, and are therefore found only on exposed or moderately exposed coasts.) 

                               In Sri lanka,  people  used to call this creature as ' මට්ටින්' 

                      

🌊  A few  years ago,while on a trip to Trincomalee, I came across this type of barnacle trap by accident.  

🌊   I saw a dozen of these kinda traps in there. Though these kinds of traps kill oyster as well as other organisms. 

🌊 This oyster trapping technique is widely used in Northern and North East provinces of Sri Lanka.

🌊These creatures are semi - parasitic and breed on sturdy timbers and decaying ships and boats that grow along the seas to sustain their existence . 

🌊 Somehow,depending on the need for their species to breed they can live on the surface and in the water.Initially ,humans recognized  this behaviour of that Barnacles and they allow logs and plant trunks to log in places where barnacles are more likely to trap them. 

🌊When found a place to live, they gather altogether and grab the trunks with their claws,which were looks like their feet.

   Anatomy Of The Barnacles

🦑The body of these creatures is made up of the phenomenon of the tidal wave. As the seawater rises, the lid- like part of the animal's head opens.once opened, the lids close again when the tide recedes.

  

  Scientific Classification

Kingdom     : Animalia

Phylum        : Arthropoda

Subphylum  : Crustacea

🌍In many countries barnacles are lightly boiled in brine. Nontheless In sri Lanka people used to eat this barnacles by using various kinds of spices as usual.🥘🍽️🥘

 🌊 So, these creatures are very expensive  and people says that they are very tasty after remove their shell while cooking.🐚

     🌊🐚🦑🐋🐠🐡️🐙 They have right to live freely and they no longer          need to be a delicious food 🐙🐡️🐠🐋🦑🐚
