2009- The hottest year in Indian History!!
Every Indian would have felt the peak of heat in 2009 and here is the evidence which says that 2009 is the hottest year in Indian history. The average temperature of the year was around 25.55 degree Celsius, which was 0.913 degrees higher than the long term average 24.64 degree Celsius(Courtesy Times of India). Discussions are going on around the world about the climatic change and the effect of it. This is yet another evidence which clearly suggests that some serious thought have to be put on before it gets out of our clutches.
As the technology grows more quickly than ever, it posts yet another challenge even before we start reacting to already posted challenges. By the time we realize that we have to act we would have already lost most of the gifts of nature. Globe is not warming nowadays, it is boiling!! If at all we need to preserve ourselves from extinction, we need to react to this climate change faster than ever.
Human Extinction is on the cards if we react late!! It is already late but we let's hope it is not too late.
Is Partitioning a Solution??
Most fancied word of the year 2009 and may be 2010 will be "Partition". It all started in 1969 when this huge crisis started to lift its heads up. Telengana is one of the three primary regions into which the state AndraPradesh was divided after independence. After 60 years of independence, this region is alleged to be underdeveloped even now. Sources say that the main reason behind this is the government is not taking much care about this region and it has not taken any steps for its development compared to the other parts of Andra. This agitated the people of telengana to demand for a new state and thereby hoping to get their region developed.
Although the reason behind the furiousness of the people of telengana is acceptable, the solution that they want for their struggle is worth pondering about. It is not the partition that matters for them, but the development. I can only see politics mixed up in this whole agitation. Some politicians make use of people's strength and unity to achieve power. Even if the people of telengana get their own state, if the politicians are not good, they are going to end up getting a horrible government again. What this partition (if happens), will do is to induce people all over India to demand a separate state for their own region and it will not be good for the country as well.
The ideal solution for this is to give preference to the people of telengana in various fields to improve their standard of living. Fix an agenda of the action items which are to be carried out by the government in the coming year and the expected development in this region. After all they need actions from government not excuses!!
Waiting list – A virtual confusion!!
Even if we have reserved a ticket two or three weeks back,
we would get only a ticket under waiting list. Daily we would check the status
of the ticket noticing only a no change. After a great frustration, we would try
other ways out to make the ticket confirmed. A list of our railway friends and
relations would come to our mind and a dilemma occurs as to whom to approach.
True Love - Is it a Paradox in the modern world??
The epitome of this particular article is obvious from the title. This article is about the two contradictory words (or made to look contradictory rather) TRUE and LOVE which are used together in the modern era. Love is one of the very few feelings which is common among all creatures in the world. If someone asks me to list the top five words in any language, I will certainly keep Love at the top. We have seen some fabulous love stories in the past and through the writings of Shakespeare. I have always admired those, not because it was written by Shakespeare, but because it delivers one of the most beautiful feelings within us whenever we read it.
Yes Love was the greatest in the past. But is it the situation in the modern world?? As centuries went by, we kept changing the definition of love according to our convenience and now we are in a situation where we really do not know what exactly Love means and how great is it to be loved by someone. To be frank, the modern day love has become like a T20 cricket. While T20 may last for 6 hours or so, this may last for a day as far as I know. I have not seen anything quicker than this yet!! We do not discipline our mind and that is the reason it always searches for the better even though we already got the best. I have also seen some people love for money. Believe me, which is the worst respect you can give to this FOUR LETTER MAGIC.
I do not attempt to correct this world through this article. If one person who reads this article can make a life long commitment towards his/her love, I have done my part pretty well.
That is why it is an attempt to mold things not people!!
Memories are indeed precious!!
I went to cafe with my next door uncle and his wife and their cute new born baby. While surfing, he wanted to show their family Digital Photo Albums to me. Although I was not a great supporter of maintaining albums, the word DIGITAL kindled my interest. He logged on to his account in a site and opened his Family Biography only to surprise me. I was astonished by the growth of technology which made people to maintain their memories online with at most clarity and can be accessible anywhere in the world.
He continued to show me the various photos which he had uploaded and also some of the precious moments of his life. I saw a divine enthusiasm in his face when he explained each and every photo to me. Certainly those are precious moments because which bring back the much covert smile in his face. This continued for two hours and it appeared like two minutes to me. Immediately I registered in the site to start capturing my Biography.
Memories are indeed beautiful!! I realized it for the first time.
After 45 years, Ring of Fire can be watched from India On Jan15!!
The solar eclipse famously known as Ring of Fire can be seen from southern part of India on Jan 15. On November 23, 1965 the eclipse was viewed from India. After 45 years, this eclipse on Jan 15th can be seen from southern part of India in cities like Rameshwaram, Kanyakumari , Madurai, Tanjavur and also in some parts of Kerela.
The annular solar eclipse happens when the moon covers the nuclear part of the sun leaving the outer part exposed. This happens mainly because the earth will be comparatively closer to sun and hence the moon will not be covering the whole sun. As a result of this the central part of sun will be darkened and the edges will be shining like a ring of fire and hence the name. The eclipse which is about to happen on Jan 15th is comparatively the longest one which stays for about 10 minutes and 7 seconds. The time duration is between 1:17 pm and 1:25 pm says Birla planetarium director Debi Prosad Duari.
So, let's watch this beautiful event with care!!
Never outshine your master!!
This is the first law from the book “48 laws of power” by Robert Greene. Why did this one occupy the first place among the other 47 laws? Everyone will have this question in mind and I had the same question in my mind too. But on a deep analysis this law seems to be the most important in a person’s life. A general thought – Acting smart and intelligent than the master can yield higher levels. Things are the other way around instead! It will create hatred in your master towards you and a possibility to search another person in substitute for you (who is not much wiser than your master).
A Resolute Resolution to start this New Year!!
We stay awake to have a blast when both hands of the clock hug together!! We go to bed fully tired and wake up in the morning only to receive phone calls. We get messages from numerous people wishing us Happy New Year. We receive messages from a lot of unknown numbers and we ask who this is. When the reply comes, we realize those are the people whom we missed a lot for quite a while. Suddenly, an exchange of love through the wonderful invention called Mobile Phone. A meet, a date, a get together and a party. Wav!! That is what New Year is all about. That is why Jan 1st of every year is expected with at most curiosity.
Apart from partying, we do take resolutions during every New Year. No matter whether we follow it or not, everyone will take some resolutions or other. We get the first step right by taking a resolution, but we don't take the second step to follow it in spite of any tribulations. Have we ever thought why?? We know answer for a 100 billion dollar question when we watch the program on TV. But had we been in the same hot seat facing the same question, we would not have answered correctly. Have we ever though why?? FAITH is the answer. We don't believe ourselves hundred percent. We are ready to accept Albert Einstein as a genius and we are not at all ready to encourage the genius within us. Why because we don't believe ourselves.
We can start finding the root cause of any problem but I am sure the root is always same!! So, why can't we take a resolution to believe ourselves irrespective of any situation? Suggestion is mine and decision is all yours!!
Remember this famous quote from a poet "But soon or late the one who wins
Is the one WHO THINKS HE CAN"
Wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year ahead!!
Some interesting tidbits to feed your appetite!!
Angelina Jolie, the evergreen beauty is named the Beauty icon of the Decade. The poll was conducted by Superdrug which is Britain's second largest health and beauty retailer. It was alleged that the survey included answers from 3000 people and Angelina Jolie's strong character, pout and thick hair were the primary reason for her winning the contest. Nevertheless, it is a great credit to be complimented as the Beauty icon of the Decade, isn't it??
The second tidbit in our agenda is rather funny and weird one. This tidbit is about an Israeli man who divorced his 11th wife recently. When asked whether he was unsatisfied with all those previous marriage relationships, he astounded everyone with his answer. He alleged to have said that his custom is to divorce his wives every two years and look for a new bride immediately thereafter. He was reported to have said "I throw out a hook and the fish come on its own".
I forgot to mention one more thing about this Israeli. He is 50-years old and he has already started his hunt for a new bride!!
World's Fastest Train started its journey from Saturday!!
Japan has been more successful in manufacturing high speed trains over the past few years. These trains can travel at an average speed of 243 kilometer per hour. France has got its own high speed train which can travel at an average speed of 277 kilometer per hour. Amazing speeds for a train isn't it?? But keep yourself ready to amaze again. This time it's China who joined this club by manufacturing a train which can travel at an average speed of 350 kilometer per hour. This is the average speed of that train which means that the train can travel at a maximum speed of 394 kilometer per hour.
On Saturday, this newest child in the history of high speed trains was introduced and on its inaugural run, the train covered 1068 km between Wuhan in Central China and Guangzhou in the South China in 2 hours and 45 minutes!! This train is expected to reduce the travel time by at least 6 hours. The technology behind this high speed line was developed in cooperation with Siemens, Bombardier and Alstom.
What next to amaze us?? Let us keep our fingers crossed
