Liverpool or Everton

After the split between Liverpool and Everton over the rent of Anfield the rivalry has always been very intense in the league cups between the two teams. When these two teams play it is almost a very intense fight.

From the beginning of Liverpool FC it has been one of the dominating sides in the English football teams. It has record number of league cup wins, followed by many cup victories. The side has produced many great players like Steven Gerard who is considered to be the one of best mid fielders in the business. Now with Torres, Babel, Gerard, Mascherano, Kuyt, Keane and Alonso the team has performed very well in the leagues so far. It had a great victory against Everton (2-0) and other major giants in football including ManUtd its progress is constant and hope Liverpool wins this league cup.

Liverpool stands second in the league table with 32 points and Everton stands seventh with 19 points. I shall always choose Liverpool for the quality of players which they have and the way of exhibiting its performances. Let’s wait and watch as of who emerges as the winner in the end of this season.

Lost: IS RECOVERED

This utility is very useful actually. Today when I checked my disk space on my logical drive I was shocked to see about 10GB of extra disk spaced used up but I could not find the application which is eating that. I was confused of what to do and searched and checked almost all files on my windows drive, but could not find the application which is occupying the space. So was deleting some games, temp files, internet cookies and other set up log files which I know are not important system files. Still I managed to free up only a small space on my logical drive.

So I started to remove some files took a back up of documents to my external HDD. Then I remembered this disk clean up option. This option showed clearly which component is occupying so much space. Actually the files discarded by widows from the windows update occupied around 7 GB disk spaces which I could not find manually. Then some other component like set up log files which I was unsure whether to remove or not also was removed by this disk clean up. So it is better to run DISK CLEAN UP activity once in a while. I recovered around 9.24GB of disk space which was struck so long.

Transition a comparison

IT is the sector which has employed a lot of people and made them an active member of the society. I m employed but as of now I am continuing my life as a dependent population. In the mean time my friends joined many companies and had a mixed review about the professional life which they are having. Some are enjoying some says tough time. In the waiting time I had how a professional life after employed will be…

  • During college we shall cut an hour/day if we don’t like it and do some work which we like the most(mostly going to theaters/Beach).
  • In an organization for cutting you have loss of pay while you need to complete the tasks which are assigned to you.
  • Late night stressful project works.
  • Full time online browsing and chatting/downloading movies.
  • Any time play, full time enjoyment, and real time fun.
  • After a few year of work, getting stressed, full time pressure, and no time to enjoy.

Now that college life is over, it is time that I m enjoying just by playing all time football, cricket, basketball and all other game when said this to friends who works says don’t IRRITATE ME, I am already irritated. Of course they are productive citizens.

My next stage would be in an organization but at that time, I open my mail box everyday just to check whether a call letter is posted to me, but to my disappointment I would not have received it. When I receive and join company I shall remember these days when I m totally free playing games, net browsing, blogging, playing cricket, all time fun trips to beach, first day first show to movies and shall think wont I get back those days back again. This makes me happy overriding the pain being idle for a long gap waiting to join company.

Make Next Generation DO things Differently

Every kid in the present generation has been put up to extreme pressure by the past generation people (just a generation back) in many issues. One of the major issues which the present generation children suffer is their parents enforcing them to get good scores. They don’t care about amount of knowledge they gain but they just care for the grade which they get. This is really in contrast to the meaning and purpose of education. The true purpose of education is to make the mind to think which is not happening at present.

The ambition of students are buried and thickly soiled and blindly guided by the path laid by their parents. In the process only importance to education is been stressed. If a student is doing some part time job our society is not developed to look at it in a positive way, instead they go and talk to parents and spread some negative brainstorming in the society. If the same kid goes abroad for higher studies and if he works in part time, even worse than a job what he got before it is been told with a big hype.

It is definitely time to rethink on what is happening, many take up course without knowing what they are going to study in it after joining the course. They simply take up the course because they have better scope of improvement. After joining that course he feels total discomfort in continuing the course.

A self analysis is really needed before deciding what course we are going to study. In the same way many prefer to do MBA without work experience but what if something is studied without knowing what we are studying.

It is time that we rethink on how garbage is used, how natural resources and non renewable source of energy is been used. It is time to lessen the pollution rate, how well we use the public transport system, how well we save electric power. This all when planned well and managed well we can give a better place for the next generation to live.

It is our duty to look forward and make our next generation to do things differently. We shall not look up grades alone in education field, we shall work while we work and study while we study, lets analyze a course before we start working on it, give independence to the children of next generation on what they like to do, we need to support research facilities, and ultimately we restructure the education system in the which makes brain to think. This naturally helps in invoking active thinking ability which will invoke creativity and ultimately creativity leads to development.

Build,rather Seek, A Carrer!!!

If one were to list the career ambitions that parents have for their wards, a career in politics would certainly not figure in it. Because, worldwide, politics is jocularly and seriously considered to be the last resort of scoundrels! But what is intriguing is that, whereas a Masters in Business Administration or MBA ranks at the top of the desirable qualifications list, business as a career option is frowned upon!

There is a strong perception among the salaried class parents that being in business is like being on a roller coaster. It could take you very high in a short span of time but overnight it could also throw you crashing to the ground! Risk is undoubtedly an inherent and inseparable factor in any business, be it a purely commercial activity or an industrial establishment. But it is certainly not a luck dependent gamble, as many fear it to be. A certain degree of intuition is required for success but that is not at all a rare trait.

But the saddest and most dangerous belief that exists in the minds of the public is that to be a successful entrepreneur, one needs to be somewhat crooked. So much so that I have often heard parents declare that their wards were not cunning enough for business! This belief is a double-edged sword because it not only keeps honest people out, but also provides tacit permission for those in business to look for short cuts.

As with any specialized job, running one's own venture definitely requires a specific kind of smartness. An entrepreneur has to be worldly, not in the derogatory sense of being street smart, but in that he must be aware of current, local and global trends. Ascertain you child's potential and let him chase his dream. Cherish the entrepreneurial spirit in him.

Mobile to Immobilize

The technology has always been improving to make us communicate easily. The Mobile Technology is one such technology which has helped and made this big earth look almost very small like how a star appears when seen from earth.

The technology has found from the beginning has havoc associated with it. The mobile phone technology use the medium which naturally exist but still it causes a lot of problem to human beings

The associated technology also has a greater impact. For instance Bluetooth technology when power on and kept in pant pockets are expected to create prostate cancer in men and also due to radiation in general it is not advisable to keep the cell phone near the chest or heart region due to potential ability of radiation to penetrate.    

Extensive use of mobile phone will cause brain tumor analogous to lung cancer which a person will get due to smoking. I heard that cell phone in it low battery state produces much times higher radiations in its low battery state which causes harm to ear and make its ability to hear dwindle off.

We have reached a stage in which we cannot stop the use of mobile phone but we can still avoid some problems associated with it. If it is not confidential you can always put your cell phone on loud speaker mode and keep the phone at a distance and speak. If so very confidential matter you can try using the mobile phone using head sets. We must stop giving mobile phone to children under age 7 at least. It is better that not to give children under age 10 also. Never use the mobile phone in its low batter state. Extensive continuous use of mobile phone cause neck pain, ear pains, head ache and has the ability to affect brain too.


No New Begining To An Old End

Arms trade is the world’s most successful business operation which is very profitable one. The annual spending or annual military spending ranges about One trillion which is nearing the expenses done during the cold war period.

The cold war period was one such time in history during which arms production and trading out of outdated arms to under developed countries was quite common. The annual expenses crossed trillion’s even during that time.

Each year around $30 million are made in the sales of arms. Every year the arms are transferred to countries mainly developing countries from the developed countries. A report called Grimmett report is prepared to track the delivery of arms. The supplier nation for arms include United States, Russia, England, China, France, Germany and few other European countries.

Now even more arms and produced and distributed. In this spinning earth anything is possible. Is this an indication to let us know that another cold war, imperialization and colonization going to take place again? Hope this is a not a new beginning to an old end.

Arms can be made for protection and not for destruction. As always science and technology are good slaves but a bad dictator or master.

The amount of money spent on war , arms research and buying weapons can be used for good purpose like educating all children in the world, Food and shelter for all and many other activities.

Tobacco :also Sets fire to your Back too

Tobacco and smoking is been one of the major causes of deaths around the world. One of the major cause of Lung cancer. Being a carcinogenic substance the probability of a person addicted to it getting cancer is sure similar to a ball attracted to the ground due to gravity.

The use of these substance has a number of confirmed ill effects which includes
  • Tobacco and smoking kills a person
  • Causes poverty(exacerbates poverty)
  • Production of tobacco causes pollution
  • It causes reduction in economic productivity
  • It employs many thousands of people, it can be considered a wasted labour.
  • It causes wastage of capital and resources used up
Many farmers also consider the plantation of tobacco as a profitable source of income and hence they tend to plot tobacco in the land which is fertile enough to cultivate food crops this ultimately causes the net reduction of food crops around the world. This adds fuel to the existing fire of global food crisis.


With all potential know causes when government tried to curb tobacco and smoking the tobacco industries with the enormous resources and liquidity, it weakened the laws which were enforced against the use of it.

What could have the been the major reason for this much huge fan following behind tobacco and smoking. Only answer is Curiosity drags them, addiction persists them, withdrawal symptoms hold them.

To reduce the theft The theif himself must realize it is wrong and similarly to avoid all problems it is the smoker who should have the required awarness.

"TOBACCO IS THE SECOND MAJOR CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE WORLD"
"ONE in 10 ADULTS DIE DUE TO THIS"
"CAUSES OF PREVENTION IS WELL KNOWN"

Scriptless : To watch Is Worthless

The movies on old days had a lot of importance given on script along with a great exhibition of acting skills. The person acting on the movies olden days had a great role to be played. With the limited technology present it was the time the actor’s involvement required was very high.

 The movies like Shaw shank redemption had much importance given to reality and also the movie was revolving around theme making us think in the sense of how a person will be cornered in this brutal world after releasing from a life sentence.

Now-a- days the movies give importance to visual effects rather than giving importance on script. These movies show what is not realistic but the visual effects fill up the scenes. It is not this visual effect which alone should make a movie. The visual effects added to the script will make a good movie. Not script which is added to the Visual effects. I mean a script which is designed to fit Visual Effects will not have proper reach.

 

Fact file on Diabetes

One of the most common disease or more appropriately disorder is diabetes. There are two cases in this Type-1 and Type-2. Though there is cure for diabetes one must realize that it is a life long disease.Especially Type-1 has no option but to live with insulin all along.

The worst part of it is Type-1 is common among children.Sudden loss of weight,breathing problem,dizziness are the symptoms of it. The main reason for this occurrence is a microbial attack. The child might has suffered from a viral fever before. But the virus for its worst part could have ruptured the pancreas.

Once pancreas is completely ruptured the body cannot produce sufficient insulin for survival.So it has to be given externally throughout one's lifetime. Type-2 diabetes is just opposite but is the most common among the two.It occurs due to life patterns like junk foods,lack of nutrients etc.

This one can be cured by changing one's lifestyle along with exercise supplements.Proper care should e given in both the cases. Nutritious diets couldsave you from all hazards. So eat healthy and stay healthy.

Philanthrophy Epitomises In Blood Donation

When you lend something it is the receiver who gains something. But for charity you don't gain anything from it.But this is a donation in which you as well as the receiver gain out of it. Yes,I speak about blood donation.

When you donate blood you not only save a precious human life but also pump in fresh blood inflows within your body. Thereby you save a life as well as rejuvenate yours.People even those who are educated shy away from blood donation for one reason or the other.

Fear is one major sited reason. This is psychological and can be combated by proper exposure to enormous benefits of the noble cause.Accidents,surgery require large amount of blood to save the victim. Every year millions of people die due to lack of blood donors. One thing which we must remember is we too may need it one day.

Proper tests are conducted and if any only if you can withstand the donation you are allowed to donate.Please don't forget that a doctor wont kill a patient to save another.Let us save precious human life.Humans have a population of 6.7 billion;if one person due to unavailability of blood it is the shame for the race.

Blood doesn't know what race you are,what religion you belong to,what cast is yours.It only knows you are a noble person if you donate it.Be a philanthropist by donating blood.

Doctor On Duty : Patient Out Of Tragedy

I heard about a cancer which a woman had had, considered incurable by many doctors and hospitals here was saved by my uncle. Wow what an effort.

The lady met my uncle when she was said that you can be cured, but when she met this oncologist she had developed a ray of hope in her mind with the confident speech of the doctor. Boosting the confidence in a patient is one of the important duties of a doctor. Well done and the first step in curing her was done.

He analyses the patient and found his patient suffering from psedomyxoma peritoni. As said before this case was rejected by many hospitals the oncologist with the use of special drugs which acts on the cancer cell leaving behind normal cells. So the cancer cells were targeted leaving the normal cells untouched.

Along with a crew of Doctors they decided to remove the cancer from the body. So the call for the hour was to go for a surgery. During the course of the operation this doctor was monitoring the cancer very dutifully and applied chemotherapy when needed so that the treatment gets carried to the intricate parts effectively.

And finally the patient was cured. The patient was aged 71 and she felt very happy to have been back on normal condition after removal of about 15 kg jelly like substance which was collected in her body.

Dada Leads the Way : Will India Win AWAY'(S)

One of the Legend of Cricket stated his test carrier with a test century progressed up the ladder and clinched the post of captain of The Indian Cricket Team- nicknamed DADA and considered to be the most successful captain of India Sourav Ganguly retires on style. He is one of few cricketers who had retired on a winning game. He is now the 7th batsman to score a century on Debut and to score a duck on the last game. He was the one who gave the current IDENTITY to Indian Team. He restructured India cricket team.

On his way to shape India he was forced have strained relationship with few and also to have altercations with board members but he still continued to focus on the goal which he wanted to achieve. Here is what he said regarding this: “I made enemies on my journey as a captain with many but all was for the cause of the TEAM” – NOTHING PERSONAL JUST BUSINESS.

He as usual leads the way retiring from the game showing and giving chance for other youngsters. But no one can replace Sourav. All other player including Sachin could not perform well as a Batsman and a captain for which Sachin relinquished his captaincy.

Australia has an empty space due to Warne, Gilly and GM and suffers a lot. In the same way retirement of DADA and Kumble will have deeper impact in the team. Will INDIA be able to WIN a test SERIES AWAY???

Combating Addiction

The desire for instant gratification and high income constitute an explosive combination
Substance abuse is a global problem today. This poses a threat to all as it affects the physical, psychological, behavioral and social functioning of the individual and in turn, that of society.
Substances commonly abused include tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, heroin, cocaine, cough syrup, ecstasy and other sedatives.

Abuse of alcohol, cannabis and brown sugar (heroin) seems to be rampant among the lower socio-economic group. The richer class seems to be abusing substances such as cocaine, ecstasy and designer drugs.
Curiosity Factor

Alcohol and drug use invariably starts as a casual act kindled by curiosity, peer pressure or the need to prove one’s willingness to ‘belong’ to a group. What starts off casually very often results in psychological and physical dependence on drugs.

The risk-taking attitude of the younger generation and their high incomes are two of the primary reasons for the increasing problem of substance abuse. Most of the young people employed in the newly created jobs often earn substantially higher incomes than their parents.

This leads to a decreased control/influence of parents. The desire for instant gratification and high income constitute an explosive combination.

The attitude of society towards alcohol use also has changed. We have become more ‘liberal’ over the years. Illegal drugs such as cannabis, heroin, cocaine and ecstasy are also available depending on the amount of money a person is prepared to spend. From being a problem of a select few of the higher income groups, drugs have slowly permeated into every segment of society. As it stands now, no child is safe in this world where prevalence of alcohol and drug use is steadily increasing.

While any youngster is at risk, certain factors place him/her in the high risk group. The general trend would be to experiment with tobacco, then alcohol followed by other drugs like cannabis and heroin.

A childhood history of behavioral problems such as truancy, lying, stealing, rebellious nature, and poor socialization skills makes a person more prone to drug use. Poor academic performance, disciplinary problems, low self-esteem and a feeling of alienation may indicate that the person has a problem. Because of greater susceptibility to peer influence when friends have a favorable attitude towards drug-taking, the chance of use is higher.

The use of drugs affects a person in all possible ways, damaging every facet of his life. There is a change in the physical appearance — he develops a haggard, dull, apathetic look. The problem is compounded by loss of appetite, loss of weight, chronic cough, unexplained needle marks and poor physical hygiene. The youngster loses interest in his personal appearance and all goal oriented activities are forgotten. Interest centers only on his drug taking activities.

There is deterioration in the value system. Lying and stealing become more evident. Family relationships break down as there is little communication with others — the person prefers to spend time alone. Irritability increases with temper outbursts and rapid mood swings.

Oscillations of the Universe

We all have studied the concept of expanding universe. It is said that in the initial stage every matter in the universe was concentrated in a single dense cloud of matter. With the fusion reaction taking place and the pressure mounting up inside the core caused this dense matter to explode with tremendous push outwards.

These caused every particle to move outward and lead to the formation of current universe. This expansion of universe is proved by the Doppler study and also the galaxies repelling each other. Further study on the expansion concept reveals that expansion taking place from one single point.

Further researchers believe that the expansion has limit. The ever expanding universe at a point of time will start contracting. In this process the big player like stars will eat up the smaller bodies present. Over a period contraction will be completed and every particle merges to form the parent atom from which they evolved. Now the entire process repeats itself.

claustrophobic World!!!

As the adage goes, "cursed are those who are born during the age of transition." This Chinese proverbial plight applies more so in the case of the struggling millions in the over-crowded metropolitan cities, belonging to the poor countries.

No doubt the quality of life in terms of material welfare has been enhanced for the average middle-income group given the globalized scenario. Yet what is being denied raises the issue whether it is all really worth the trouble in terms of the compromises that are made.

What is at stake is the ecological sensitivity of citizens. As a citizen, one has the fundamental right to enjoy a pollution free environment and de-congested urban spaces for healthy and prosperous living. To steam off after a days slogging st the office one needs open spaces. But in the ever growing world this is at stake.

Solitude is important part of daily life. It lets you wear off stress and be happy with your family members.But for that you need space both in you mind and in reality.

Work (out) ing

Work (out) ing:
This one word can be interpreted in different ways.
1. Work
2. Workout
3. Working
4. Outing(S).
First let’s consider about work. Work is defined in two ways:
a. Activity directed toward making or doing something
b. A product produced or accomplished through the effort or activity or agency of a person or thing.
It is not a good work if you do your work without doing any workouts. Here WORKOUT refers to creation of planned sequence of activity which can help us to do our work effectively and efficiently. Same workout has to be considered in another way, without which the physical and mental stability of the person becomes a big question. The workouts in this case refers to the physical exercises which a person does and also mental exercise like yoga to keep himself fit both physically and mentally.

The third being WORKING, working always is absolutely not at all a wrong thing. Everything needs an order in which you have to work. It is not that you do your workouts regularly but it is even more important when and how systematic you do your work. Working out the Workout in the correct time is what is working. You have to analyses your work pattern and start working in the as you determined in your workout.

Outing: It is always important. Work, work and work can’t be your life. It is important to spend some time visiting places which you always wanted to visit. Spending some money, going out with friends, enjoying the evening in the sands of beach leaving behind the stress and strain of work. Enjoying the life with Mother Nature is OUTING.

In Search Of Role Models

Do these names ring any bells? Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Kaavya Viswanathan, Chen Jin, A.Q. Khan and Jayson Blair. Well, all of them wanted to be rich and famous in a hurry and sacrificed their souls in that process.

Ayaan Ali was until yesterday was a celebrity in Holland — a Somalia born Dutch MP. Today she is on the run as things started to unravel for her when it was revealed that she had lied about her past to get asylum in Netherlands. Kaavya became world famous as a 19 year old girl of Indian origin who not only got admission to Harvard, but also half a million dollars as advance for two books and more for the movie rights until allegations of plagiarism surfaced.

Chen Jin with a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin was the technical prince of China when he said that he had created one of China's first digital signal processing computer chips. His research seemed to catch up with the West. Then it was announced that it was all fraud. The distinguished scientist had faked research conducted at Jiaotong University and simply stolen his chip designs from a foreign company, then passed them off as his own.


The list is endless. Athletes with dope assisted Olympic medals (sprinter Ben Johnson), cricket players fixing matches for money (Hansie Cronje), drug addicted soccer gods (Maradona), politicians caught with pants down (countless), ministers with fingers in the till (search Google), princes and princesses (Charles and Diana), business leaders (Ken Lay of Enron, Chung Mong Koo of Hyundai)

Dr. Khan, a Pakistani icon, was arrested for selling nuclear secrets around the world motivated by Islamic zeal and money. The New York Times reported that their reporter, Jayson Blair, had been guilty of lying, plagiarism and outright fiction for four years.

The list is endless. Athletes with dope assisted Olympic medals (sprinter Ben Johnson), cricket players fixing matches for money (Hansie Cronje), drug addicted soccer gods (Maradona), politicians caught with pants down (countless), ministers with fingers in the till (search Google), princes and princesses (Charles and Diana), business leaders (Ken Lay of Enron, Chung Mong Koo of Hyundai).


The new mantra is that life is short, the pleasures of which have to be enjoyed to the brim when you are young and strong. The media is waiting, tempting you with the riches of the world in all their glory when you are on the top of the mountain and condemn and laugh at you with equal relish when you are in the dumps. For the vultures in the media, Kaavya or Chen Jin at the highest or the lowest is just prime time meat to nibble away and pickle and preserve for another day.


But little do they realize that role models are around them all the time. They need not be celebrities or famous persons. A role model can be your own mother, father, a teacher, a historical figure, a saint or any one who played life's roles honestly, sincerely and selflessly and who will not surprise and cheat you and turn your world upside down by unveiling their dark deeds one day. It is better that we turn away from instant illusory heroes who may prove to be frauds or worse.

Has SCG - dried out

My days in SCG are the once which I over enjoyed after finishing my college. In the initial stage we had about 22 persons playing together and every match used to enjoyable one. After this few people joined company, starting their next phase of life. So the count got reduced, but still we had players to play. We played cricket till 6:00 in the eve after that Football and if we have some stamina left out in us we played BasketBall too.But due to recent rains the ground got flooded and the scope for us to play was also dried out. Now that the water in the ground has dried,but still I don't find my friends turning on to play:- Has The play in SCG also dried OUT along with the water in SCG?

Class Chess and Check Counter

The class chess is the class chess which we play in the class. It was chess and Counter strike which gave us entertainment while we were studying in our final year. The game of chess almost involved most of us and it was played like a team battle with helping hands for the players who play the game.

Counter Strike:

Counter strike is the other games which we used to play. But the difference is this being in the digital world. We had really used the lab very well for our project. Here the project being the CT’s eliminating T’s threats, while players in T’s try to finish their objective of Bombarding. The moment when the lab is opened we shall rush to the lab just to get a system in which CS is installed. This was also team battle arena which divided us to two groups and also led to the development of funny virtual game name for each one of us. We shall play it with at most interest and concentration which we shall never show to anything else. So soon we had a “check” for this from our staffs but we countered it by appointing a guy to watch out for the check and alert the “Spartans” playing.

Chess:

In the plentiful chess games which we had played all the games were so friendly but really intense. It was always like a battle of troy. We all our minds were dull and not thinking it really made us to think. After playing rounds of chess, we all will be tired of thinking and hence I shall leave home with two of my friends and other shall sleep nicely or go to hostel to have a nice time. Be it anything we had ultimate fun in doing it. Those days cannot be had once again.

Handicapped by Conscience

Would a security personnel open fire on a person on a pair of crutches? Or on a senior citizen in a wheelchair? Or on a person palpitating with a heart attack? Or on a visually handicapped person? Yet on December 8 a man was shot dead at Miami airport by U.S. air marshals merely because he exposed his disability in public.

The man in question Rigoberto Alpizer, 44, behaved in a threatening way and allegedly claimed to carry a bomb. It was established later that he was mentally challenged, suffering from a bipolar disorder and hence his erratic and seemingly threatening behavior, which provoked the firing that killed him.

hile physical illnesses and disabilities are evident to sight, it is not always so in the case of mental illnesses. Alpizer, for example, had missed his medication and was agitated. All the other people on the plane, the procedures, and the snatches of conversation were all too much for him to process and he wanted to be out.

e need special provisions for those who are mentally challenged to avoid these mishaps in the future. Humanity could also be expressed in protecting people who lost their conscience.

Learn to Sustain

Many poets have sung about her,there is no playwright who has not centered his theme around her. I speak about 'The Women'. Yes she has captured imagination of many and I thought I could shed some of mine now. Feminism has undergone changes over the years as do feminine.

I don't want to speak about the atrocities against her nor I a male chauvinist.But I am a serious observer of the society around me. What made man powerful during these centuries?,What gave him a responsible position in governments?. Man has evolved over centuries,he has learn t from his mistakes and enriched his knowledge pool. But women were either enforced or restricted themselves to stay at home. This lack of knowledge makes her a less learned person in the society.

As civilizations after civilization aroused the situation began to change. Women too started learning and learn t at rapid pace. But when they competed for prestigious positions they were denied by men,just out of fear.

There is one hard reality in this. We are living in liberalized world where your sex has no significance over talent. Those who learn and enrich their knowledge could only sustain. Power,authority comes to you naturally by virtue of your quality and not by your biological division.
"Who you are,What you are,are more Important than how you are"

Articulate your Thought Process

If 'necessity is the mother of invention' then 'communication is the mother of existence'. Communication forms the basis for business, relationships and all nuances in the world. Lack of communication leads to ineffectiveness and hampers personal life to a great extent.

The importance of communication is something which has to be taught young when in uniforms, and not at a later stage in a centralized air conditioned class room by a personality development trainer. Being taught communication and problem solving skills at a later age makes them view these as tools to enhance their success propositions in their work life, little realizing that it should be part of one's character to communicate effectively and come with a problem solving mindset rather than providing quick fixes.

A very pragmatic and radical approach towards education is bound to take this nation to greater heights and would make the future citizens of the country to "question the answers rather than answering the questions".

Dichotomy-A Natural Phenomenon

Behavior is nothing but our reaction to circumstances. So there is no surprise in people behaving differently in different occasion.Some times parents doesn't know the real face of their children and may have a different perception about them.Dichotomy is imbibed in nature,the same ocean which is calm could also raise like tsunami to cause havoc.

A stone only when chiseled becomes a beautiful sculpture.Its human nature to learn a and mold his/her character as one grows. Though we cannot change others action but we can change the way we react to it.That's why old people seldom get anger,as they have chosen how to react by virtue of their experience.

Democratic Right

A leader is a person who directs who stands as a stepping stone to success. A nation however penurious be it, a good leader can easily turn the fortune. He not only carries the destiny of his current generation but also his future generation. Hence it is the duty of the people to choose who is their right leader. A wrong decision once taken could cost dearly. That why one should live in a democratic country where his views are respected. Celebrate democracy!! Cast your vote!!

Religion and Science

Science is a search for knowledge as well as a method of solving problems. Both science and religion are forms of human understanding. Both science and religion are human ways of relating themselves to reality. Both science and religion try to make explicit the world of the unknown. Both science and religion claim access to truth. On many occasions in the past as well as present, in many a war, both science as well as religion have acted against humankind.  Both religion and science prescribe qualifications for their personnel.

Beliefs and Practices

Religious beliefs and practices got its own role in every society that we know. These beliefs and practices are very ancient, predating even the emergence of modern Homo sapience. Religion is a universal social institution, but it takes multitude of forms. There are many thousands of religions in the modern world, and as many ways of expressing religious faith.

The people who believe in religion express their faith by worshipping Gods, totems and ancestors. There are some people who practice meditation, solemn prayer & frenzy mass. The great variety of religious behaviour and belief makes “religion” very difficult to define.

“There is only one religion though there are a hundred versions of it”
- George Bernard Shaw

Fear Factor

Fear afflicts everybody. One is afraid of snakes. One is afraid of ailments — particularly the deadly ones. Someone is afraid of losing wealth, losing near and dear ones. And everybody is afraid of death. These may be imaginary fears or fears based on rational appreciation of objective facts.

Basically, fear arises from deep attachment to certain objects or things and at the thought of losing those objects or things. At a philosophical level fear arises from an awareness that the object of fear is different (and dreaded) from the subject fearing it. Fear is, in the ultimate analysis, caused by the absence of true knowledge of one's own self, the non-discriminatory, eternally abiding, unchanging constant behind the ever-changing external environment.

Media Convergence

The information era has the potential to influence every aspect of our lives at the individual and societal levels. It permeates everything from the way we learn to the way we earn. It redefines the manner in which the common man evaluates the delivery of public services and also his role in a democratic society. A `global village' is fast emerging to the domain of fact from that of fiction.

Convergence, in the most common usage refers to the fusion of formerly distinct technologies, industries or activities. Telecommunications, broadcasting and information technology sectors are the focal concerns in this context today.

Convergence implies a situation where both traditional and new communications services (be it voice, data, sound or pictures) could be transmitted over many different networks. Conversely, convergence is also the ability of different network platforms to carry essentially similar kinds of services. From the point of view of consumer devices, convergence represents the coming together of the plain old telephone (POT), the idiot box (TV), and the personal computer (PC).

Retrospect for the cause of peace

Every time UN general body meets they discuss about unity among member countries. Unity is what is at stake in this cruel world which has a notion of "an eye for an eye". I think it is time for UN to rethink its core ethos.

UN should be the supreme power and must have a strong army in its kitty.Rather than buying forces during war-times it should recruit specific number of cadres from each country. Any country which is the root cause for the violence and bloodshed should be punished without any discrimination. Peace should not be compromised at any price. Lets reunite and devote ourselves for the cause of peace. Spread this message and contribute your bit for this noble cause.

Lost and Recovered

The society is becoming more and more insecure with increase in the number of people kidnapped. Many children are getting lost in suspicious manner. We also find that adults are also missing these days.

While surfing the net I found an investigative & intelligence Agency specialized in tracking and finding the missing person. There expert team can help you in finding the missing person as soon as possible. They are none other than the Child Recovery International. They help you to locate missing person and recover them irrespective of their ages.

I thought this information will be useful to my readers so that they can help themselves when any one among their group, family or friends missing. I shall say to my readers that the first step to do when you find anyone missing is just to inform the Child Recovery International they shall take care and make sure the person is found well on time.

There are many cases solved by Child Recovery International which were really tough and difficult to solve. There are many happy families because o the incredible work done in recovering the lost persons by the Child Recovery International.

The Child Recovery will help you in finding missing person of any age be it a military official or a small kid there experts will take care in recovering them. They are really experts in solving Cold Cases which is considered to be difficult and are those left unsolved.

Prevent and Prevail with Peer Pressure!!!

Smoking is bad,

Drinking is sad, Justify Full

Junk food is awful,

No exercise is unlawful.

We have heard it before, read it in the papers, our parents may have appealed to us, or our own weighing machines might have smiled at us disdainfully.

Yet, how often do we stop ourselves from picking up that cheesy slice of pizza, sipping that tingling cola, sinking into the sofa to watch the highly charged men in blue on the field, or venture out only to get that exhilarating puff?

How many of us know at least two others our own age who are overweight, who suffer from premature health problems, who enthusiastically await the weekend so they can drown themselves in a pitcher of beer and disappear behind the collective clouds of smoke generously produced in the name of "friendship," whose fingers are active on keyboard while the rest of their body switches off to slumber?

Some wonder at the prevalence of ill health habits despite the presence of awareness against them. A key issue that our present day youth need to address is prevention — of health problems and negative health behaviours, also called self-compromising health behaviours.

Prevention means taking measures to combat risk factors for illness before an illness ever has a chance to develop (Shelley Taylor).

There are always cures to help one recover from stress-induced headaches, from alcohol-related health problems, high blood pressure due to obesity. Why are there just as few measures to prevent these illnesses in the first place? The concept that we need not put our bodies through the trauma of pain and palliatives has not yet permeated our ways of thinking and behaving.

Our older generations might not have consciously emphasised preventive measures — perhaps they did not have to. Children back then, as your grandfather will fondly recollect, were fit and fine, enjoying outdoor activities and running about in glee; today's little ones have pot bellies and run about too, a little sluggishly.

A chief concern in the area of health psychology today is the prevention of ill health behaviours, such as smoking, alcoholism, over eating, etc., and their consequences.

Primary prevention involves instilling good health habits and changing poor ones. Several factors play a role here. Age for example explains how older adults are more health conscious than adolescents; value systems discriminate between families that emphasise good health behaviours such as exercise and diet and those that do not. Given how important peer relationships are to youngsters, we can use it to advantage by instilling these good habits among them.

Health habits are strongly influenced by early socialisation with parents; thus, it is essential that one's childhood is richly endowed with active lifestyles, correct sleeping habits and Popeye's herbivorous pursuits too!

Given the continuity of our young lifestyles into middle and late adulthood, it is vital that we make the right choices.

Isn't it ironic how we seek the roundabout path from pain to gain instead of just hitting gain straight?

That adage, "prevention is better than cure" holds more relevance now than ever.

What's that? Exercise is pain, you say? Well, so is that daily insulin shot.

Nothing - Is actually Interesting.

I was about to write a post which will be most interesting and that will be much of a useful information to my readers. So I was pressing hard on what to write and what topic to write a post. I was thinking and thinking to write something which shall entertain my readers. So I started to write this post, searched the net for some good topic unfortunately did not get anything good. So decided one topic to write upon on my own.

It was after this huge and extraordinary effort I typed a few lines of this post. My thoughts flow was stopped by few guys online trying to disturb my work but due to the noble reason of taking this good information to my readers I further continued to write. The more I stressed I could write only this crap. And the fact in this post is that by the time you realize that this post contains nothing informative it is too late for you to stop reading this. : P. I thought not to write anything but to write something which is actually nothing is better than not writing anything. My post of useful information ends here.

Evolving Ships

The words still hold relevance to the shipping personnel; nonetheless, it is the same seawater that is being used on board for drinking! Shipping has changed and it is no more the same kind of adventurous job involving a great deal of risk and requiring extra muscled workers. Technology has had its share of benefits but then it has certainly abated the excitement involved in the profession.

Ships have become large; the last one where the author sailed resembled a floating city! They are more or less like an industry in themselves as the amount of machinery on board has increased significantly and the engine room now resembles no less than a big multi-storied building. Large size has reduced the ability of the ships to enter all the ports and stand-by moorings and ship to ship operations have become all too rampant. As a result, though the ships near territorial waters more frequently than earlier times, the actual time elapsed before the crew gets to go down on the port is much more.

Over the time, ships have undergone a massive change. They have become highly automated and even old ships, say, those whose keel was laid 30 years ago, have been required either by international laws or by the fierce competition in the shipping industry to follow the same path. The result has been a drastic cut in the number of sailing staff, say, from 50 to 60 in olden days to the present trend of around 25, and the least time involved at the port of call. In fact, tankers of enormous size seldom stay for more than 24 hours at its port of call!

ORGANIC FARMING: FACTS AND FALLACIES

Any method of cultivation that does not use any manufactured chemical (such as urea, pesticides, fungicides, etc.) for raising a crop or during its transit through harvest, storage, processing into foods and distribution is regarded as "organic."

Organic farming is being touted as the panacea for a whole range of maladies afflicting third world rural society. These range from low agricultural output to wasteful dumping of massive doses of farm chemical on cultivated lands as to reach toxic levels. It is cited as being the viable relief from the fatigue of Green Revolution besides heralding holistic solutions to rural poverty alleviation providing employment opportunities to rural women. And it includes claims that organic foods are healthier for human and animal consumption.

Education-G or K

As rightly said by Einstein- “The true purpose of education is to make the brain to think”, what is happening in the current situation the education totally in a different way re-defining the meaning its meaning. The education is now viewed in a perspective in which the main thing is to score good grades rather than the knowledge burying the imagination and creativity of a person.

In creativity lies the future and if creativity is buried the chance to change the globe to a better place is doubtful. Every kid is said that you need to score well in coming exam your grade going to decide your future, read well, read well, forced to tuitions on young age killing his free time. Morning school, evening tuition, night sleep or doing some school work, rest and same schedule starts again.

So it is time we people have to think, education is just not on grades it is on knowledge, it is not how well he/she vomits an question asked on cyclotron or on the property of light to bend on its path to travel, it depends on how well a person can apply his knowledge from what he has learned.

So never ask a person his grades, don’t look education as scoring grades it is beyond it. All who scores good grades and have university ranks are not brilliant and those who are average are not dull heads. Education is just how well we can apply what we learned.

 Education is definitely K and not G. (Education- G or K) can be said as GK. (Good Knowledge).

 

 

Shawshank Redemption

If there is any movie which really impressed me it is none but Shawshank Redemption. The staggering truth the movie portrays about life is simply unique. It is about a jail called Shawshank in NewEngland. The cast perfectly groomed into their roles and acted amazingly.The end is like none other.Especially Morgan Freeman the peer in jail reacts to his companions escape from jail is worth mentioning. It taught me an important lesson that "hope plays a pivotal role in ones life". Moving towards it slowly will yield success sooner or later.

Your Living place in your hands

This is my third article about living place. I have mentioned about good furniture's,other accessories that light up our place. But this is an article about a place or rather a perfect demography that suits peaceful living. The most essential conditions for a place to suite human settlement are good climatic conditions, sound ecosystem,rich heritage the place carries with it,most importantly good schools.

Chesterfield Virginia is one such place which has all the above mentioned capabilities and even more so to offer you. It is rated as one of the fastest growing area in the recent census. Demography is perfectly suited with diverse age groups and industries. For those who enjoy wide range of climatic conditions,who enjoy wide variety of flowers this is an ideal pick.

Educational facilities in particular schools are pivotal in selecting a living place. Chesterfield Virginia has large number of primary,middle and high schools which has top teachers in the country. The schools also offer scholarships worth $15.6 million for eligible candidates.

Chesterfield VA Homes help us realize our dream house in Chesterfield. The site offers details about various aspects of the area. It also provides statistical information which gives us a better picture. The mortgage calculator application helps us calculate mortgage. This is find particularly useful,especially during these turbulent times.

The feedback form lets us query our doubts to the authorized person. This gives us better picture and guidance for our decision making. Environment chisel ones character, develops a better citizen.So the choice of living place needs utmost care and dedication.




Believe in God

There is God and He is the creator is something that can neither be proved right nor proved wrong. But those who have belief in the statement that there is God enjoy

(a) "security" by constantly relating to Him through various religious rituals and nurturing the bond with time improving the feeling of security;

(b) certain discipline that all religions teach and thus gain control over one's sense organs. Following the discipline and rituals alone makes one capable of leading his life harmoniously with the rest of the creation.

Beyond proper understanding of the scriptures and the laws of karma or its equivalent, it is important to develop unshakable faith in the Lord. Faith without this knowledge will fail at times of serious adversity. It will make one question the existence of the Lord and His sense of fairness when one sees good happening to bad people and bad to good people.

It is certainly helpful for one to believe in God, constantly relate to him through religious rituals and gain a secured feeling.

East end-reach West end

Almost many forms of communication exists, but wide spread available communication device is phone. Almost majority of the world uses telephone. Communicating via Internet is often disturbed and poor in quality. Now that using the phone cards the communication is really easy and the quality so good that voice is clear and real. 

It was time that I was on a trip to east and my friends in home country had real trouble is calling me. The callback from me also was quite expensive. It was the time i came to know about the get me calling cards. It was really easy for me to communicate for me. To communicate from US to India is really very cheap and affordable too using the India calling card. Stay connected always. 

Garbage Collected-Power

It is considered that garbage collection and disposal is a big problem in almost all countries. The amount of garbage collected is huge and almost require a lot of budget, space to dump them. Burning of the Garbage in later stage also causes pollution. 

We must now consider generating power as be done in few countries around the world. The garbage is collected without any segregation and then is put up in a heating device which produce steam and necessary heat energy which is been used to turn the blades of the turbine to generated electricity. The bye products and material which does not get burned are collected at the bottom and they are crushed to put roads.

Clean city and clean energy.!!!

Play all the way

Play all the way as long as you play you shall stay hale and healthy. Play any sort of game that gives you mental happiness. Playing is most important activity which everyone should do in order to keep them lively. If a person is stressed too much on work he shall lose interest in life. Playing will get back the childish happiness in a person which can actually eliminate any stress in a person. 

Work is important, but even doing activity which pleases the mind and make the mind do the work properly is almost important. Playing is one way to make the mind stress, many others ways to help a person come out of stress for which Yoga is a classic example. The Yoga when performed will release a lot of useful energy which can potentially make a person of any age active and also helps a person to stay brisk even during old age.

Robin Hood or Osama ?

Robin Hood and not Osama bin Laden is the most celebrated outlaw in the English-speaking world. Part reality and part fantasy, Robin Hood has been written into children stories and adult poems, portrayed on the stage and in movies, examined and re-examined in scholarly research. Even in the realm of law, Robin folk tales raise intriguing questions about law and lawlessness. Is Robin Hood a good lead to understanding Osama bin Laden? At first blush, any comparison between (Ro)bin Hood and bin Laden seems odd, most certainly to the English-speaking world for whom 'bin Hood is a romantic robber whereas bin Laden is a despised terrorist. The comparison might also displease Muslim militants who see bin Laden as a spiritual sheikh fighting the crusaders.

In the realm of manufacturing legends, however, the similarities between the two outlaws are so real and so fantastic that very little brush work is needed to draw them together.

'Icon' making

Not all human beings are self-motivated. Those without self-motivation need external motivators to motivate them to excel in their field of activity. For such people, very often the external motivators are the men and women perceived as ‘icons’ by society.

These ‘icons’ normally reach their exalted status by virtue of their skills, dedication and sustained hard work in a particular area of activity. The huge public adulation that they command inspires lesser mortals to strive to emulate them.

To the extent that the ‘icons’ inspire people to excel in various socially desirable activities, they serve as catalysts for the progress of society. But, in the present age of television, ‘icon making’ has become almost an exclusive function of TV channels, which, of course, do this with their viewership rating and cash registers in mind.

Learning in the competitive world

Education is not preparation for examination but preparation for life. When life was relatively unchanging and predictable, even preparation for examination was good enough in most cases and life skills could be learnt as one went along. But during the last decade and a half, the world outside has become turbulent exhibiting changes where distance and time are shrinking thanks to information technology.

The fickle, assertive consumer demands, increasing competition, impermanence of jobs and organisations, the changing job content and need for frequent re-learning, easy movement of capital, people and technology across borders are striking features. Value-adding jobs alone are well-paid and in demand and routine jobs continue to be low-paid and decreasing in number. The government is no longer the main employer.

A Serious Pandemic

Hatred Immunity Deficiency Syndrome (HIDS) is probably the most serious pandemic in our world today, potentially deadlier than even AIDS. The disease may be ‘active’ or in remission, but it is extremely difficult to cleanse oneself of this affliction completely. Once infected, all the immunity mechanisms built in the human mind over the years can be rendered useless. Learning, education, value system, etc., are all laid to waste by this malady. The ceaseless churning of the infected mind and the burning of the heart weakens the noble human spirit and demonises it. HIDS has claimed more lives than any other calamity known to man.

Though man has been battling with reasonable success all kinds of adversities including diseases and natural calamities, he has not even begun the battle with this deadliest of all afflictions, which can exterminate mankind, nay, all life on this planet. Hatred can spread very fast indeed. Thanks to modern communication systems, an incident miles away can provoke hatred reactions and genocide within hours, if not minutes at several other localities. And even after it subsides, it leaves behind so much hatred, bitterness and such terrible scarring.

It is imperative for the educated people from all faiths, regions and communities to wake up, or be prepared to face the catastrophe. Expansive thinking, unity of purpose, integrated and harmonious co-existence are to be propagated instead of divisive theories. The nobility of non-violence and the sacredness of mutual respect have to be drilled again into the vulnerable human minds.

Experts At Your Doorsteps.....


A question which made me thing a lot in recent past is -What is Trust?. Trust is pledging to someone your belonging, with all the hope that they wont break it. So we don't trust everyone, do we?. If the person is an expert in his field, and has rich experience in it that makes him a qualified person to trust. That's why we love someone who is kind to others and is sociable.

It is hard to find trusted contractors in your locality. You need to make an extensive search to choose a person. Here is an organization called locally trusted which does all the work for us to choose a best contractor in our locality. There is a whole lot of categories like concrete contractors,fencing, green, electrical etc., to choose from. Name it you can get it from them. The contractors are carefully chosen experts who are experienced in their field. So they are trustworthy.

There is an extensive list of states they have covered. We can choose a state to find a specific type of contractor. There is also a customer query form for us to clarify our doubts. They have also provided a toll- free number to call their customer care.We have the right to choose who we want and what we want. Lets trust people who are trustworthy.

First-50

First-50 is not about the movie 50-first dates. But this is all about my first 50 runs partnership with my friend in cricket match played at SCG. After few matches of poor performance and getting out in slower deliveries I was able to manage my first-50 runs partnership with a friend who plays cricket with me. 

In the same match my friend  proceeded to score about 70 runs, and our team score was 105 in eight over’s.  After this match I had my second fifty runs partnership with another friend of mine this time it was even quicker. We had this partnership in 4.3 over’s and we remained not out. Next post will have further updates on matches taking places at SCG.

SriLanka-The Next IT Destination?

If there is any sector that has doubled its growth rate for the past decade,it is none other than IT. Countries like India,Brazil,Japan are hunting for the market share.But there exists a silent czar called SriLanka. A land which is known for its war against LTTE for many years,has a commercial facet too. Tea,tourism remains to be mainstay in this war stricken land.

It has now proves to be a good place for IT investment as well. IBM a global leader has its BPO operations in SriLanka. AirTel which is India's number one mobile service provider has shifted its customer support operations to this country as a cost cutting measure. May be this is time to shift focus towards third world countries!!!

Redemption from Crisis

If there is one topic which is common in all the news channels these days, it is none but credit crisis. Of course there is election, but politics apart!!. It all started in the summer of 2007. The real-estate market crashed as there were no buyers. As a result of this the land value started deteriorating. Banks and other financial institutions which were minting money in real-estate could not do so anymore. In order to keep the profit margin and investors intact they raised rate of investment for those who borrowed money.There are also people who have invested in bonds issues by these banks. To insure a constant rate of interest to them the financial institutions have insured it with insurers like AIG.

This lead to their crisis as they run out of funds. These financial institutions are now expecting the government to bail out them from this brink.This is a sneak overview of the crisis. Many believe that the worst is yet to come. Dissolving of Lehman Bros, Bank of America's buyout of Merrill Lynch and many more to come will exemplify these facts.

Counseling helps one to get rid or at least minimize risks. This holds good for financial crisis too. Government too supports this view. Federal Trade Comission too asks fellow citizens to underge a conseling. CareOneCredit is such an organization which helps in debt consolidation . They provide debt management which includes strict guidelines, 24/7 access to account information, electronic payments, monthly statements, customized support and counseling, strict privacy, and the highest level of customer care. Managing debts and getting rid of the cobweb that surrounds our life is essential.This will enable us to get back to normalcy. Lets get rid of this vicious cycle, lets live life to its fullest happily.Financial counseling is an important way to do so.

Salvation Lies Within

Mother nature provides us with plethora of fruits,vegetables etc, which are enriched with goodness.One can get any nutrient source from natural sources. Unfortunately not many sons of her know about her richness.

This is a world in which processed goods sells more than natural ones.
People crave to improve their skin pigment by bathing in chemicals. Vitamins A ,C which are essential for supple skin, are present in numerous fruits and vegetables. One thing is rest assured, People who use those creams may not know this fact but those celebrities who endorse those products are sure to know about these.

En-Route to Peaceful soceity

We do not belong to any religion or caste. We are bound not by gods or myths, but by a distinct set of living practices. Religion is nothing but a distinct way of living and caste is simply your present job. Doesn't it sound strange? 

Does treating religion or caste from this new perspective bring any difference? The answer is `yes.' A strong binding to the religion or caste may make some blind. Though none of the holy books speaks of violence required to safeguard the image of their religion, some selfish leaders promote it to bring a mad unity among masses for self elevation. This madness has massacred many innocents in various communal riots in India. The same madness has destroyed invaluable glorious monuments and constructions. 

The human civilisation began thousands of years ago. It underwent many turmoils and raises and finally resulted in today's societal life. People living in a specified geographical region followed a set of practices. These regions were highly isolated. Each of these specific groups formed one religion. To create a cordial environment, the people in that group set some rules and regulations. They also followed systematic practices. So, logically, religion is a distinct way of living followed by a section of people. 

Wrestling Entertainment WWE

Diwali and T.nagar

One of the most Busiest area in chennai, buzzed with activity, all thro the day, T.nagar PondyBazzar and USMAN road. This place is already famous for slow moving traffic and now during this season the area is been visited by many people around chennai. The Center area for shopping in CHENNAI. Due to this the traffic in the area is moving really very slow. Bridge to an extent has traffic now,but it has served the purpose for parking space for vehicles. For the shops it is the PEAK time which make traffic roads always as in PEAK hour. The quality food courts with big shops make this spot a hot spot shopping center.

No Caste Please

Outlook magazine carries a story on how an attempt to carry out a caste census is being stonewalled by private sector companies.When the OBC quota controversy flared up, people questioned the basis for the 27% quota, saying there was no data to back it up. At the time, it was pointed out that there has been a marked refusal on the part of successive governments to collect the data in the first place. Ok, what is past is past, but surely there is merit in trying to see whether quota policy rests on a sound basis of data? This is what the Outlook story says:
The Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes (KSCBC) is embarking on a
massive caste census for the first time since Independence. Besides covering
1.18 crore households across the state, it will also look at the private
sector—which is where it runs into resistance. The commission has written to 176
companies, including IT majors like Infosys, Wipro, Dell, Yahoo, MindTree, Sun
Microsystems, IBM and HP, asking them to furnish "religion and caste-wise
information" of employees.

But the response has so far been cold. KSCBC wrote to the companies in March this year and set a May 15 deadline for submission of data. But, as a KSCBC official pointed out, "Only 11 companies have provided information, 18 letters were returned undelivered, and three companies have written back that they are unable to furnish the data." Last fortnight, the commission sent out reminders to as many as 154 companies. The report points out that opposition to the survey is not confined to the private sector- many in government would rather not have the facts coming out. Because then we will know who has benefited so far and who hasn't.

Search For Peace

This post is one which I m been trying to write from a long time. Well what is it. When “I” die- will bring more happiness in a person’s life. Human Brain is so biased towards self. It always require people to forgive it when it goes wrong and commands for justice (when other do same thing) when others do wrong or injustice to it. It is always there in a person’s blood to be self-seeking person. This is actually not a mistake to a certain level. Well I am absolutely not an exception to it and no one is exception.Even before this post got a nice comment from my friend on ma topic. When “I” Dies from the person’s mind it will surely have good impact in his life. 

The feeling of “I” increases the materialistic desires present in a person’s life. Well we need to have ambitions desires aims and we need to be focused towards it but the materialistic desires in a person’s life should be reduced. Well being a sensitive issue I cannot dig in it what kind of desires can a person have. Materialistic desires are just egoistic desire. All of us live constantly meeting a variety of experiences, and at each incident, we perceive, react and come to act in the outer field with other people. In this process, we unwittingly increase our egoistic desires. The gap between our subjective mind and objective mind is filled with these egoistic desires. 

When the gap between this objective mind and subjective mind is nullified, is the situation that “I” has died in you. This will increase the happiness in you, providing you with good health all your lifetime. Well from “Bhagawad geeta” If you happen to see a mirror and u don’t see your image reflected , it is not that the mirror is not reflecting, a layer of dust may be covering it that you could not see the reflection, once you clean the mirror the reflection comes alive. So is the coordination between subjective and objective mind is been filled by dirt which has to been cleaned. Which one of the way is spiritualism. Well other is yoga.

Reality, in current turmoil each person in some way considered to be self-seeking by other. Yes it has been a difficult place to survive and fittest will survive, and some kind of symbiotic relationship is needed for one person with other for existence. This will bring in a thought that, that (other) person is self seeking. True on a way and false on the other way. A deadlock. At the end we all lead a life for comfort and luxury forgetting the true comfort. Leaving behind all peace and we all pursue in search for peace.

There cannot be flood & drought at once!!!

 It is that time again when we get to see the Finance Minister and the Industries Minister more on the news channels than cricket or movie celebrities. Arguably the most abused jargon in economics is dominating the headlines all over. Yes, inflation is what it is. Well, it has been hovering at around 7 per cent for a few weeks now and that’s well over 200 basis points more than the comfort level for the RBI.

As alarming as this number is, it does not tell the complete story! We are one of the few countries in the world, which report inflation at WPI (Wholesale Price Index) and not CPI (Consumer Price Index). In a vast country like ours and especially with the fact that we do not have the robust of supply chains, the gap between WPI and CPI is critical. In CPI terms, the impact of inflation on a person in Delhi is significantly different from the impact on a person in Shillong!

Rising inflation

As can be seen on every news channel and read in every newspaper, there is rising inflation in the economy, which means that we have to shell out more than what we used to before for our consumption. Does that mean that suppliers are better off than the consumers?

Logic suggests it should be the case. But amidst the rising prices of wheat, rice, and pulses there are reports of farmer suicides and loan waiver to help save the struggling farmers! I thought only one of these situations could exist at a time.

When the oil prices are soaring sky high, the whole world suffers but surely someone stands to gain and in this case it is the oil producing economies. But what is happening in India is quite inexplicable! Something is missing in this equation. Surely you cannot have a situation in which both consumers and suppliers are worse off — that cannot happen in a free market!

Yes, we do have government interventions in the form of price ceilings and support prices but that is applicable to a very few goods included in the calculation of inflation. By and large, it is a free market, and the market clears at the equilibrium price – meaning the price at which both the supplier and the consumer are willing to execute the trade.

All this even before the RBI has tinkered with its monetary policy to suck some liquidity out of the economy! When that happens, suppliers will be just as bad and consumers are going to be even worse off. How do we explain this dead weight loss?

A structural problem

Admittedly, we need to address shortage in supply of goods but that does not fix the problem completely, we must dig deeper. We cannot have fears of food shortage on one side and farmers moving out of agriculture or committing suicide on the other. This is a structural problem rather than a seasonal or a cyclical one.

If there is a danger of shortage of motorcycles when there is a demand for them in the market, what we would witness is that the Bajajs and the Hero Hondas would be increasing their production and not moving out of their business or declaring bankruptcy! But why is it different with agriculture?

Is this a strong case for our agricultural supply chain to be a value-decreasing phenomenon? Is it the middlemen who are responsible for this dead weight loss? To keep a bunch of middlemen happy, is it fair to make the rest of the country pay the price? Is it not the right time for us to spend more efforts on creating direct sourcing networks? Isn’t e-chaupal a good initiative to be emulated?
