The Halal Paradox: Why Your "Pure Veg" Might Not Fit My Plate. It’s vacation time! The bags are packed, the itineraries are set, and my inbox is flooded with the usual travel queries. As yet lately, the conversations haven't just been about historic landmarks or scenic views; they always seem to circle back to food. Specifically, how to navigate the authenticity of what we eat, and for a Dawoodi Bohra, the most critical aspect of sustenance: **Halal**. A recent interaction left me thinking about how much of our world operates on assumptions rather than understanding. I was asked about my food preference. *"Halal,"* I replied simply. The blank stare I received made it obvious the questioner didn't quite grasp the depth of that answer. Attempting to simplify, they asked, *"Veg or Non-Veg?"* *"Both,"* I elaborated, *"provided it is HALAL."* Bang! They walked away, utterly perplexed. The Common Myth: Is Veget...

So here is your answer. Old KERBA = The KERBA is measured by its age and this age is obtained by various lab tests and results show that KERBA is dated older than 100million TO 200million years !  Yes you heard it right. Now OLD KERBA IS AVAILABLE FOR AUCTION AND SALE by few collectors. It is not available in open market at all. It is extremely expensive and rare. And many such items are held by museums or private institutions. Now understand the importance of this terminology…. In the open market economy there are 99.99% fake items. The many places where shop keepers boast of selling OLD KERBA is actually the PLASTIC COATED COMPRESSED BEADS OF COPAL. WHICH IS FAKE KERBA . The reason why they term it as old KERBA is because they use powder of some KERBA beads to coat these pla...
