The Potato Alliance

Written by Awell Islands

As the Minister of Regional Security, it had been a promise of mine since the beginning of the term that I bring in a peaceful defense force for the beautiful region of India.
Together with our close allies of Southfield and Africa, we have created a defense force which would protect our interests and defend our closest allies and ourselves during times of danger. The forces are currently being recruited from all three regions and being trained to reach their full capacity. This defense force will provide India with a strong voice in the NS world and to better protect India and our interests.
The defense force is basically structured and is built around speed and having a fast response. Contact myself, Awell Islands, if you would like the aid of our defense forces.
The future will hold peace for India, our allies, and the NS world.
P.S. A quick reminder that India is still neutral in the world stage and always will be.

The practice of eating with the hands originated within Ayurvedic teachings. The Vedic people believed that our bodies are in sync with the elements of nature and our hands hold a certain power. Ayurvedic texts teach that each finger is an extension of one of the five elements:

Through the thumb comes space
Through the forefinger comes air
Through the mid-finger comes fire
Through the ring finger comes water
Through the pinky finger comes earth

When you eat with your hands, you are supposed to do so by joining all fingers together. This is believed to improve our consciousness of the taste of the food we eat. Not only are you feeding your body but also your mind and spirit. When you touch your food with your hands, you’re creating a physical and spiritual connection with it. You’re also much more present in the moment. When food is touched with the hands, there’s automatically more careful attention placed on it – what the temperature is, how much you can carry, how the hand must be held in order to keep the food in it.
