Why?
As Indians we did the following and still a non-negligible population follow these:
We used Banana leaves instead of plates.
We used Shikakai for our hairs. Shampoos were unheard off. Pure Coconut oil was used. No creams or sprays.
The serving laddles were made with coconut shells and bamboo sticks. Not metal. The vessels were also stone pots or earthern pots.
The daylight was used to its fullest. The houses built had good cross ventilation.
Hand held fans (Pankha in Hindi and Visiri in Tamil) were used. No air conditioners.
Neem tree twigs were used to brush the teeth. No tooth pastes.
For grinding purposes, the tranditional grinding stones were used. No mixies or grinders.
Henna/Mehendi/Marudhani was used. Nail polish weren’t used.
Fresh vegetables and fruits were used. No cheese/frozen products.
Every locality had a cow barn. The cows were milked at each and every doorstep depending on the requirement. Thus arose no questions about transportation, packaging etc., The cows were allowed to graze the fields freely.
Curd was made at home. Not bought in stores.
Fresh cheese (paneer) was prepared at home. Cheese was unheard off.
Naan, roti, chappatis, rice were the staple food. Porridge was consumed for breakfast or other dishes based upon the staple grains. Bread/cornflakes weren’t known to us.
A refrigerator was never needed to store food. Food prepared on a day was consumed the same day itself. In summer, drinking water was stored in earthern pots which kept the water cool.
For packaging groceries, old newspapers and jute were used. No plastic sachets.
Why then have we changed now? 
Everybody is welcome to contribute to the list.

Thus spoke Love-Guru
- This post is written by our esteemed colleague skabeesh
Was fortunate enough to get a week off from studies to go home. I was really surprised to find myself playing a love-guru to an old friend who recently got engaged (and in trouble, thereafter). Apparently, guys feel playing fast and loose with other girls is an integral part of seeing a gal. The worst part was that the female was giving up…and here is where I came to the rescue 
. Quoting myself, “The girl needs to have the upper hand in all relations for it to be successful. Being in love with a guy is no different than training a dog.” I told a surprised her over coffee. “Just as the dog needs to look upon the trainer as an alpha male, so is the same with the guy to the gal. It does not need to be evident; it works fine even if the boy understands it at a subconscious or unconscious level. And if the dog isn’t trained, it is because the trainer has given up. All dogs by nature are supposed to be wild.”
It’s started to brighten up things between the pair, hopefully to this advice. Guys, I too am a guy committed happily to a good gal, and believe me this works.
