i love to eat mango
Congratulation for your efforts of manifesting the role of herbs in treating disease invest more efforts in speculating the reality
yeah right' it also helps in doing my assignments especially in my projects
Oh! kishy,I'm not sure whether I should be happy or not after knowing that this article helped you in preparing your assignment. Of course, I'm not happy. Reason? You just copied it and showed to your teacher. It means that you did not try to know a single medicinal use of mango. This is not good. Please take help of the information and enrich it with knowledge collected from other sources as well. It seems great that your teacher said good. Anyways, take help of my articles in future but make them more interesting inserting information from other sources and submit to your teachers so that he says excellent not just good.

Thanks Morris. Yes, I had knowledge of few events before these events happened. I'll list few incidences here:
A saint in the temple died at 8.00 AM and someone in my dream said that he is dead. But the voice didn't mention the name of the person. I went to temple few days later and then came to know that the priest was dead. I was socked to learn that the priest died exactly the same time when I heard someone informing me in the dream that he was dead.There are some more incidences to narrate but I'm very busy now. I'll discuss these incidences when I get free time. Thanks.
Good article. And thanks for answering my dream question. Do you find you have precognition about other things, as well?

It appears from comments of roxette,alina & others that this article is of great academic interest since many teachers are giving this topic as assignment to their students. Its matter of great pleasure that it is saving lot of time in searching and compiling material for students but they should devote tthis time to make the topic more worthy.thanks to THADEI FILIPATALI for the suggestion. However, it need lot of investment and infrastructure to test all the facts given in the article. In future, I hope other researchers may focus their efforts on this.
