YAHOO ANSWERS - TWIN OF GOOGLE

I'm sure everyone would have used this new service provided by Yahoo ! Yahoo answers has become more popular now a days with their custom categorized areas under which anyone can post their questions. The traditional yahoo answers was good and it has been enhanced ever more by adding innovative features like "Vote" and " Best answers". Every time you answer a question you earn points and reduced points for asking a question. This way users can climb the ladder from Level 1 to higher levels.It also has the feature of IM's so that users can connect with each other and form a network. There are also RSS feeds which the user can take advantage of. As far as I've known Yahoo answers has become another secret search engine by itself with its wide database of questions and answers. Any question you want to ask would already be asked and you will just have to search and read the answer infact the best answer would do. If you don't find the question atleast you would get some related question for your search result which would help us in some way. I feel that Yahoo ! Answers is becoming a twin page of google search where you can find anything under sky. Who knows we may soon even get things beyond scope of imagination through these pages !!

OBAMA Vs. LITTLE RICHARD

At at a recent rural elementary school assembly in East Texas,

Obama asked the youthful audience for total quiet for a moment.

Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every

few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.

Then he said into the microphone, "Children, every time I clap my

hands together, a child in America dies from some sort of gun violence."

Then, little Richard Earl, with a proud East Texas drawl, pierced the

quiet and said: ''Well, dumb-ass, stop clapping!'

A SPECIAL POEM FOR SPECIAL PERSON

Lets pretend that we were in a movie,
I'll be the hero and you'll be the young girl i fall in love with
In the end we'll be happy
holding hands in the mountain
dancing in the rain, watching the sunset,
singing that happy song , living each day with
the same kind of passion that has held us in this strong chain
the strong chain called love
and has given meaning to that four letter word
the four letter word that has made the world
the four letter word that contains the hopes and dreams of everyone
the four letter word called Life.

This is how i picture my life
my happiness, my sorrow, my fear, anger
my tears, my strength, my weakness
everything to circle around you

If all this is just fantasy then
well i dont mind being in this throughout my life

I want to live my life only with you
I Love you.

A THOUGHT IN MY MIND

A gentleman once visited a temple under construction where he saw a
sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying
nearby.

Surprised he asked the sculptor, "Do you need two statues of the same
idol?"

No," said the sculptor without looking up, "We need only one, but the
first one got damaged at the last stage."

The gentleman examined the idol and found no apparent damage. "Where is
the damage?" asked the gentleman.

"There is a scratch on the nose of the
idol."said the sculptor, still busy with his work.

"Where are you going to install the idol?"

The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar twenty feet
high.

"If the idol is that far, who is going to know that there is a scratch
on the nose?" the gentleman asked.

The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman, smiled and
said, "I know it and God knows it!"

Moral - The desire to excel should be exclusive of the fact whether
someone appreciates it or not. Excellence is a drive from inside, not
outside.

Excel at a task today - not necessarily for someone else to notice but for
your own satisfaction.

123 AGRREMENT

Nuclear Agreement between India - USA :MUST READ BY EVERY INDIAN

There are lot of talks about 1 2 3 Agreement between India & USA and it

almost led to the topple of Central Government. In this mail I am trying

to explain the commercial & technical aspects relating to this Agreement

which I have read and sharing with you.

What is 123 Agreement?

This is called 123 Agreement because this comes under USA's Atomic Power

Act Section 123.

Let's see how India's (Indians?) Sovereinty & Independence are

pledged...

(1) After this Agreement USA will supply all fuel, machinery / equipment

& technology to India for producing Nuclear Power.

(2) All these days from about 22 Nuclear Power Plants, India is

producing power as well as Atom. It's a high security / secret that

from where which is produced, how much is produced, where it is

supplied, what research is being done with that, etc. to anybody. But

if we sign this Agreement, we have to disclose these secrets and also

agree to 14 of our Nuclear Power Plants to be under the scanner of

International Atomic Power Organisation.

(3) The fuel utilised to produce Atomic Power can be recycled for reuse

and this plant will be under direct supervision of IAPO.

If India does nuclear test, this agreement gets cancelled. But

(1) USA will take back all the machinery / equipments / technology

supplied to India thus far.

(2) Those 14 plants will continue to be under scanner irrespective of

the status of the agreement.

On the other hand, if any of the commitments given by USA is breached by

them, then there is no clause for cancelling this agreement.

The agreement is apparently like this... USA can either hug India or

slap India. India will not ask why are we hugged or why are we slapped.

On the other hand, India cannot hug or slap USA for breach of agreement.

This is only capsule so that easy to read and digest.

Subject: India Pledged.... Part 2

Requirement of Power

The most important requirement for India's Economic Growth in the coming

years will be the power & infrastructure. The argument put forth

favouring the 123 Agreement says that we need Nuclear Power Production

to be increased to meet the demand.

Power Production in India

Presently following are the figures:

Thermal Power 66%

Hydel Power - 26%

Solar & Wind Power- 5% - Presently Rs.600 Crores are spent for producing

this power.

Nuclear Power - 3% - If this is to be increased to 6%, it

requires additional Rs.50,000 Crores.

Naturally it will be wise to increase other 3 modes of power production

rather than the expensive & dangerous Nuclear Power. Isn't??

URANIUM

We used to import Uranium from various other countries. After the

Pokran Test, we are not getting it. To augment the supply, we need to

sign the 123 Agreement to get Uranium from USA. But we will have to

declare to USA from which power plant India takes raw material for

producing Atom Bomb. Why should we disclose our internal secrets to

those rascals ? Will any one allow an outsider to continuously monitor

what's happening in your Hall & Kitchen of your house? Other study

reveals that Uranium is available in India aplenty. Only hurdle is the

acquisition of land. To produce Atomic Power & Bomb in the next 40

years, the requirement of Uranium is 25,000 MT whereas the availability

is 78,000 MT across India.

PLUTONIUM

Presently 35% of Plutonium is used to produce Atomic Bombs. After

signing the Agreement, we will be allowed to use only 10%. Who are those

rascals to restrict the usage of our natural resource ? That is though

you are capable of cooking & eating 10 idlis as your breakfast, you are

allowed only 3 idlis henceforth. How can it be? Why should we accept

this?

THORIUM

As told by Dr.APJ, we have abundant Thorium. In fact we are the 2nd

largest producer of Thorium next only to Australia. India has to

explore this further for producing power. For your information, in

South India - particularly around Kanyakumari, the availability of

Thorium is abundant.

INDIA-IRAN-CHINA

USA does not like the amicable relationship between India-Iran and also

India-China. If India-China relationship gets stronger, then both these

can rule the Eastern Part of the Globe which USA wants to break as per

their divide & rule.

By signing this agreement, USA wants India to depend on it for producing

power which is going to be a crucial factor in future. There is a talk

of bringing Natural Gas from Iran to India with a big pipeline project.

USA doesn't like this proposal.

Atomic Power Technology

Whether power is produced or Bomb is produced, using Atomic power

without spoiling the infrastructure and without allowing the radiation

is always under threat. Moreover preserving the wastes coming out of

Atomic Power Plants is expensive & unsafe.

There was an accident in Three Miles Island in USA. To close this plant

nearly USD 200 Crores spent with tons & tons of concrete but yet to be

fully closed.

In an another accident at Soviet Union's Serbia Plant, even the next

generation child are affected due to the radiation.

It will be very very expensive to defuse & close down an Atomic Power

Plant than its construction cost.

France

France has got 56 Nuclear Power stations producing 73% of the country's

total power requirement. They are catching up the problem of

eliminating the wastes / emissions from out of those plants at the same

time increase the power production capacity. Government of France is

now thinking how to reduce the power consumption in the country.

Conclusion

In view of the above danger, rather than signing the agreement and

pledging India to USA, it will be prudent to increase the Solar & Wind

Energy and more importantly Hyder Power Production can be increased by

linking all rivers across India and by constructing DAMS. (Ofcourse Dam

construction projects can be given to L&T's B&F Sector:-)

The whole process of this Agreement started in the year 2005 when

Manmohan visited USA. In a span of just 2 years a major decision of

signing this agreement has taken place with political motive. On the

contrary, neither this Government nor any other earlier Central

Government could not amend the Constitution thereby nationalise the

rivers across the country thereby effectively utilise the water

resources for both Agriculture purpose and producing Hydel Power. What

an irony?

Whenever someone is helping the needy, you can't expect the TERMS AND

CONDITIONS BETWEEN THE needy and the helper to be EQUAL??? BUT

(1) the helper's ulterior motive should be seen with broad eye because

he is capable of digging a grave behind you and

(2) better to be self-sufficient and explore new avenues with available

resources.

Another Problem with Custom Domain

Uff.. ! Im so bugged and pissed with the custom domain transition. I was happy everything was working good. Suddenly today morning i saw that my site was not opening. I didn't know what to do. They blog was displaying "404 error". I thought it should some prob with my computer and checked from my office. There it was different. The blog opened but none of the links were working. If i click on any link, i get the "Page cannot be displayed" error. I decided to google it a bit and found few suggestions like switching quickly between blogspot and custom domain once in the settings tab. Even this did not work out. I thought for a while and took a guess that it should be the problem with the Domain service provider ( Sify ) and not blogger, because when i use the blogspot domain to publish the blog it looked to be workign perfectly. I called up the support team and after trying a few times i spoke to them. I also checked that my domain DNS settings were changed by the support team people which is supposed to be pointing to the ghs.google.com. I was confused how all this happened and let them know that this was the problem. She then compared my blog dns settings with another guy who had also bought the domain from sify and she did the settings change for me. She said things should be fine withing an hour. It dint happen like she said. I decided to hold up and wait longer. It was about 6 in the evening that my blog was back. All again ! But now another problem was that it was not opening in firefox, Only IE was opening. But this time i solved it by myself just by clearing the cookies. Now things are back ! Uff !

Body Building with Steroids ?

Still looking at the pics above ? Its normal. Everyone wants to have a good shape and muscles. I know my friends who work out a lot of time at the gym because they feel that they need to have a good shape which is found to be very attractive. Even girls are following this trend. But you will need to think and take some thoughts before you use other unsuccessful ways of body building.

Steroids are hormones related to the hormone testosterone. They help for protein synthesis and muscle building. Using this in body building has become a believed fact that it helps in quick muscle building and attractive looks. Its true that you can build muscles with this. But do you know what are the dangers that you are likely to face in the future ?

Now it is time to see this pic :

This guy is 21 year old and from Germany. He wanted to build his muscles that he started using Steroids for it. Soon he started developing ulcerating sores on his chest. He got them removed with the therapy but still the scars are found to be deep and scary. He eventually stopped but by then it was found the steroid abuse had also caused a low sperm count and shrunken testicles. Steroids could pave way to a lot of other diseases and decrease the immunity of the body system.
Doctors were scared to look at this severity of the scars. Many sports organizations have banned this drug from use. But still it is very common in the social life where people have not realized the serious illness this drug could cause in the long run.

Please advise your friends on the same.

Cheers

My Dream Job

Everyone has a dream and some would have their dream job in mind. For me it was this dream job to work in an airport control room. I can tell you how it all started off. It was during my engineering life that we were taken for a trip to the Airport Authority of India (AAI) Office. I dint know what they would do there and just went there as lazy as i could be. We got down from the bus and we were guided to a tower which was no different than a watch tower or a light house near the sea. We were checked with metal detectors and a lot of other security issues before we entered. It took some five minutes to reach up while we witnessed a lot of big computers and monitoring systems on the way.

I dint know it was such a nice place to work. We reached the top when we were taken to a room which just looked similar like the room which comes in Oceans 11 movie were all the dollar notes were secured. Everything seemed to be automated here and i realized that this place had a lot of security systems to enter in. I still dint know that we were being taken for a trip to the control room.

At last we entered the main room were people were sitting before a screen almost 3 times their size. It had a radar kind of display in it which i have only seen while i played the game recoil when i was half-adult. We were taken still closer to the giant screen when one guy came to us and started explaining what they were all about. We were given a chance to listen to what the pilot who is flying somewhere above the clouds trying to tell a person sitting here on earth. The screen had a show up of all the planes which were guided to reach their destinations or landing. The whole atmosphere was really nice and i got a craze for this work. I still have it with me. I don't know if it would ever come true again in my life. I wish it should.

At the end of the visit, we were taken to the roof of the tower which had a glass window through which we could see the runway and approaching flights. It was the most awesome place i would ever been.

This is mine. Everybody has a dream. I know that !!

I was using stumble and suddenly came across the picture you are seeing above. There were few lines below the picture which made me think a lot and write few words here. The lines read -

" My step-father asked me to take this picture of him after he regained consciousness in CCU. He lost the fight with lung disease (Asbestosis, COPD, and Pneumonia) Friday morning April 18, 2008.

On behalf of my family and me, I would like to thank my friends, family, contacts, strangers, everyone who sent this to a web site, or forwarded it to a smoker. Through responses we have received via comments and e-mails, we know the message was heard around the world. It brings tears of joy to our eyes to know that it was viewed more than 150,000 times, with the blessed result of helping some to decide to quit. Mere words can not express what that has meant to us, nor how the overwhelming response has touched our lives. I just want to hug each and every one of you. It is with a tear in my eye and love in my heart that I say THANK YOU!!!!!! "

Juorney from Blogspot to Custom Domain

Hi , This journey from blogspot to custom domain was really a tedious one. I had a lot of doubts and difficulties from the moment i started this work. I am sure there would be a lot of people in the future who would want to make this journey. I thought i could put down some points and then help them in some way.

If you are a real techie and you know everything about DNS, Host, WWW, re-direction, IP's then great. I'm sure you wouldn't face much problems like me. So here are the steps to go on about the transition.

1. Decide if you would really want to change from blogspot to your own custom domain. Custom domain has its own advantages over the blogspot URL. For instance, my alexa ranking for blogspot url in social spark was around 3.5 M and once i set up my blog in my custom domain, it skipped all the numbers between and became 1.5M overnight. There are a lot more advantages which can be read from here.

2. Now you have decided to make it a custom domain blog. Next step is to select a domain service provider. Domain registration can be done at a very cheap rate. I spent about $10 and it is the same money almost which ever domain provider you opt for. Blogger gives you a list of its preferred and recognised domain providers here. GoDaddy is mostly used and it is said that the support team is really kind to help you 24*7 .

When i tried to register my domain with GoDaddy, everything went right until i reached the payment page. My VISA credit card was not getting accepted. I tried with Master card but still there was no use. I kept getting the error " " Your current payment method is not valid Please enter a new payment method to complete this purchase ". I mailed the support team but it dint really make much difference. They were just making me run around and put me on automated voice service listening to a boring music all the time.

3. Now i thought i should think of some other domain provider as i know there are many out in the world. I decided to see within my country ( India ) and i got Sify. Sify is a very recognised company and i thought i will go on with it. I also saw some other providers like Indiatimes. Going on with Sify, the registration process was pretty simple and my credit card went through and everything was fine. Succesfully i registered a domain now.

4. Now comes the process of changing the domain names. I really dint know what they meant and what i should do. Google Groups helped me a bit to understand but it was all with respect to GoDaddy and nothing was looking alike in Sify. I googled a lot and found that there were many other people in the past who were not happy with the Sify domain and were struggling a lot to get their custom domain. Luckily i found one guy Krish who helped me a lot to set up my site.

5. Here i mention the steps to change the custom domain settings for Non - GoDaddy users.

• Go to manage domain ( Some users might have different menu such as DNS management etc)
• Look under the option Sub-domain and select CNAME from the link list.
• In the page that opened enter the Host name as WWW and the url as ghs.google.com
• Click ok and open your blogspot account in blogger.
• Click on Settings and publishing - Now click on "publish in custom domain ".
• Click advanced settigns and enter the url you registered with Sify.
• Click on the check box - Redirect domainname.com to www.domainname.com
• Click save settings.

6. I guess this is the most basic step to do and now you can relax a bit for about 24 - 48 hours. Come back and check if you're Custom domain is working and it shows your blog content. But remember that the transition takes about 72 hours to work completely and perfectly. After 30 hours , you could see that your blog will be seen on both your Old blogspot address as well as the custom domain address. Dont worry, as i said the transition takes 72 hours. At the end everyting would work prefectly and now you got one more thing to worry about. Your blog might work only with WWW prefixed before the Custom domain URL. To solve this problem you need to have your support team from the domain service provider and ask them to re-direct it to to your domain url.

I am attaching few thumbnails below for your easy understanding.











7. If you have any other doubt regarding this, feel free to mail me or contact me here. I would be glad to help you. Remember i am still not a techie and i can help you with the knowledge what i have though its just little.

Cheers !

Why not Cricket in Olympics ?

Cricket has been my favourite game and will continue to be so. Any cricket fan would love to see his /her game go global even though it is already global, may be i could say beyond global. One way of taking this classic game beyond boundaries is to include this in Olympics. It would definitely take this game to a totally new horizon where the standards and structures of this sport can be greatly increased and differentiated.

Cricket still needs more motivation like Basketball or Tennis to reach heights. The truth is that the quick crores made in events like the IPL, the excitement of ODIs or T20 World Cups or even the battles of classic five-day Tests count for little when leading athletes from all parts of the world are seen struggling for Olympic medals.

It is said that cricket received "recognition status" from the International Olympic Committee only last year and would be a part of the 2010 Asian Games in China. The thrilling moments of T20 matches would add more glory and greatness to Olympic games and it would also enable all the cricket fans who are very large in number through out the world to involve in the Olympic games.

Adam Gilchrist, has come up with this idea of including T20 in Olympics and he said he would really be thankful if it really happens. This idea has received Thumbs Up from a lot of other cricket players including Ganguly, Steve Waugh and Stephen Fleming.

For any person, an Olympic gold medal dangling on someone's chest to the strains of their national anthem is an experience no amount of money can buy. If this gold medal would be for the reason cricket, i don't know how happy i would really be. I hope i see cricket and my favourite players in Olympics soon.

Cheers !

Chennai PTC bus

This object called PTC Bus , so called bus, is not new to people who stay in Chennai or Tamil Nadu. Painted with the trademark green for more than 20 years, anyone could recognized a Chennai government bus just by looking at it or atleast the crowd it carries everyday. I have been traveling by bus recently to work and only now i realize the condition of these buses. I feel that the brakes n clutches just work by luck and no one knows when the whole engine system would crash. No maintenance for these vehicles. I unluckily got to sit near the driver seat and thats where the whole engine system is actually placed. I was just looking at the poor condition of the bus and suddenly saw that there was a rusted hole in the base of the bus. I could see the road and few wires hanging down lane the bus. I was wondering if it is a bus or a airplace cockpit or something like that. May be these officials tried to make a fire exit or something with such a design i dont know. It just looks worse. Though few new buses and luxury vehicles have been introduced in the city, the condition of these PTC buses is still the same. I hope the government will make some move to replace these rusted vehicles with some cushioned crafts.

Abhinav Bindra - First Indian Gold Medal - Olympics 2008

Abhinav Bindra is the first indian to get a Gold medal in the Beijing Olympics 2008. He bragged the first place in the 10m air rifle event. Bindra's historic feat makes him India's first-ever individual gold medallist, bettering the silver medal feat of double trap shooter Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore in Athens 2004. Bindra, a Khel Ratna awardee, had earlier won the gold medal in 2002 Commonwealth Games in the pairs event and silver in the individual event. The silver in the event went to Chinese Zhu Qinan (699.7) while Finland's Henri Hakkinen (699.4) had to be content with a bronze.

My hearty wishes to this champion !!

Bush having a ball - Olympics 2008 !

Bush said that he loves beach volleyball. He had come down to see olympics 2008 and few pictures were caputred during his volleyball session with the girls. He seems to be more interested in it which is what i could understand from the pictures taken. LoL ! have fun watching it.













Bush recently said that Olympics is not the place for politics. He seems to be proving that. No politics or election tensions shown here. He seems to be more like feeling himself being in a bay n doing you know what 8-)

Life is what you make it

Don't let no small frustration
Ever bring you down (no no no no)
Just take a situation
And turn it all around
With a new attitude everything can change
Make it how you want it to be
Stay mad why do that give yourself a break
Laugh about it and you'll see

Life's what you make it
So let's make it rock

LYRICS - Life's what you make it


Have you ever thought about this - Is it possible to be happy all the time? For most of us, happiness comes and goes. Life may bring pleasure one day and pain the next. It all depends on how you take it and how you make it. All your life and living is left in your hands and if you could bring out the best of it then your life is certainly gonna rock all the way.

It's time to define your own reality and create the life that will make you happy. This is your life. Create your own standard to measure your success. Many of us have been brainwashed into believing society's definition of success: lots of money, a high-powered job, a picture-perfect family, a big extravagant home and a beautiful body. This might work for some people, but all too often we are left feeling dissatisfied, restless and sad. We can't all squeeze ourselves into the same mold, and we shouldn't want to. Take some time to figure out what you really want out of life and then develop a strategy to achieve it.

Start living this present moment. Forget the past and dont care for tomorrow. No one knows how long is their life. Its all in our hands to live this moment in a better way to make a memory cherished for tomorrow.

Came across this blog called Life Is What You Make It. This was the source for me to think so deep about this. This author has written more about it and if you guys are interested in this, then this blog is a must visit for u all.

Atlast Life is what you make it and not how you take it.

hisam·o·nom·ics

hisam - Wondering what would it be ??

I was wondering as well, until i read this blogger's tag line for his header which gave a crisp sense of what it is and what the blog is all about. It said - The social science that deals with the way hisam thinks(i.e whenever he does). 2.(used with a plural verb) disastrous considerations; comically significant aspects: What are the hisamonomics of such an incident?

Seems interesting rite ?

I continued searching whats new here in this blog. I was amazed that this guy had passion for cricket just like me, but was not able to play it as frequent as possible. Just like me, as a whole as i have mentioned in my earlier post about my cricket passion. The next thing was some nostalgia about his old memories in his college. Again just like one of my post about my college memories.
So many things common between us that i decided to pen down something about this author. I was really impressed about this blog and i recommend my visitors to see this :-)

She had posted some birthday party photos and she seems to be having a ball in her life. A very fun loving friend of mine. Her site looks glorious with all the glitters and other girly stuff. Yeah you know how a girly blog would default look like ;-) . There was this particular post which made me go lol. At the end of it all i found her name should probably be KISTY, surprisingly she had an expansion for her name which read as “Killing Is So Technical, Y’know”. This site is a must visit for everyone around here. It is really good and of a nice kind.

Music Junction !

Guys !

I came across this blog called Rhythm Junction. The author of this beautiful blog started this site to have it as a music related blog. Then later decided to expand its horizon and write about other various topics as well. Now this blog is more than a music blog and is really cool. The layout is pretty simple and it adds more value to the blog looks. Not messy like other music blogs with so many play lists and widgets hanging around. The design has been made very neat and pretty. The post about politics titled Is blodd thicker than water in politics was really nice and informative. The author has a collection of Youtube video archive which catered a few of my favourite bands and music. Now for all those music lovers and bathroom singers, if you are looking out for a music blog and a personal blog together, your search ends here. right here.

Exploring Indonesia

The culture of Indonesia has took its current shape molded by several influences that have been prevalent in the land, as a result of the long process of interaction and acculturation between original indigenous customs and a multitude of foreign influences. Like the people on Indonesia's many islands, Indonesia's culture is a wonderful mix. It is colorful, musical, and truly spectacular.Indonesian culture, like Indonesia itself, is a fascinating blend of indigenous, Malay, Hindu, Buddhist, and Islamic elements. Indonesia is a country of great diversity and its national motto is "Unity in Diversity." This diversity is also found in all aspects of culture: language, housing, cuisine, dance and music, artistic expression, etc as each has many local variants.

Nestled between the ancient sea trading routes between Far East and Middle East, Indonesian culture, too a large extent has imbibed much of its daily practices and art forms from the Hindu, Buddhist, Confucianism and Islamic influences. These connections are clearly evident mostly in its many trading cities.

Indonesia is also noted for several distinct and national cultural expressions. These include the Wayang shadow puppet theatre, the gamelan orchestra, Balinese and Javanese dances, batik cloth making traditions, and rice based and spicy cuisine. Indonesia, like much of Southeast Asia, has adopted and adapted the great Hindu epics of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata and uses these stories as the basis of many dance, musical, and puppetry performances


Clothing -

Because Indonesia is made up of so many islands, there is a variety of traditional clothing style. Each region has its own traditional costume.


Dance & music -

Dance in Indonesia is a highly developed art. It is an important part of Indonesian life. Dances are part of celebrations, and mark important times of life such as births, weddings and funerals. They are part of festivities at times of planting and harvesting of rice, and other important events.The various types of dances are

* Court dances
* Martial dances
* Masks

Music life includes the following kinds

* Gamelan orchestra
* Gamelan music
* Angklung music

Also i recently came across this blog about which has more content about the Indonesian Cultures .Mengenai Saya is the name of the author. I was really impressed with the indonesian culture and habitat. I really wanna go there soon.

Women in society

India is a society where the male is greatly revered. Therefore women, especially the young girls, get very little respect and standing in this country. The women of the household are required to prepare the meal for the men, who eat most of the food. Only after the males are finished eating, can the females eat. Typically the leftover food is meager, considering the families are poor and have little to begin with. This creates a major problem with malnutrition, especially for pregnant or nursing women. Very few women seek medical care while pregnant because it is thought of as a temporary condition. This is one main reason why India’s maternal and infant mortality rates are so high. Starting from birth, girls do not receive as much care and commitment from their parents and society as a boy would. For example a new baby girl would only be breast fed for a short period of time, barely supplying her with the nutrients she needs. This is so that the mother can get pregnant as soon as possible in hopes of a son the next time (Coonrod). According India’s constitution, women are legal citizens of the country and have equal rights with men (Indian Parliament). Because of lack of acceptance from the male dominant society, Indian women suffer immensely. Women are responsible for baring children, yet they are malnourished and in poor health. Women are also overworked in the field and complete the all of the domestic work. Most Indian women are uneducated. Although the country’s constitution says women have equal status to men, women are powerless and are mistreated inside and outside the home.

I came across this blog titled secret womens business which talks about the problems that women face in their life and society. Also about womens health, relationships and a lot of other important stuff.

The future role of women can be looked at more optimistically. Nowadays, there seems to be a recognition of the vital role women play in society and more status is given to women. Overall, excellent progress has been made in education. This has played a powerful role for women self-esteem. It demonstrates women's intellectual abilities to gain expertise in the field of their choice. However, this progress has still to be reflected in the job market. Since a more educated society is good for industry and society as a whole, it is even more urgent for women to gain an acceptable status in their rofession. The message is that women have the ability to change their role and that they will demand to have the means to do it. It is generally accepted by the new generation of young men and women that co-operation and mutual aid are far more productive than the divider camp of men and women. Society is changing and with it the role of women and men. In many fields women have come a long way from just their role as mothers and homemakers. They are that and far more. They no longer think that children rearing and home management is their sole duty.

Area 51 - A mystery

Area 51 is a never seen piece of land for many of us. For those who haven't even heard of Area 51 here i tell you. It is located in the southwestern portion of southern Nevada in the western United States. This place is primarily used by the United states to carry out the tests for aircraft weapons system. This is a highly restricted area and if you try to place your holiday or weekend trip here and if you were ever sighted by an official, they can shoot you as deadly force is activated and allowed here.

No one never knew about this until one of the officials recently accepted before the media that US is carrying out testing and having a primary military base and this area has been named as Area 51. Other names used for this place are Other names used for the facility include Dreamland, Paradise Ranch, Home Base, Watertown Strip, Groom Lake and most recently Homey Airport.

No one knows what is going around here in this place but from google map, one could see that there a lot of sphere shaped wells built in this place. From the bird eye view one could also see that these well shaped spheres are having a high reflective surface on the top which is not understood by general people. The government has refused to tell anymore details about this place as it is a secret.

It is said that Groom Lake was used for bombing and attack during the world war 2. So it is evident that these activities have been going around for a while and only now that we are knowing about this place. It is also seen from google earth that there are a lot of under ground pathways which no one knows where it leads to. Everything is mysterious about this place.

UFO in Area 51 -

Now comes the most interesting part of it. This adds more mysteries to the already existing ones. A lot of UFO's are sighted in this area. It is said that the most number of UFO's have been reportedly seen from this Area 51. Also one of the officials who was working here had written a few entries in his diary. It was recently read by his son Alan Lewis and was brought to the media. In this diary there is a photo attached where his dad has taken snaps with some wierd Alien creatures. They are seen to be having a long head and elongated chin. These features of aliens were also reported from various other places by other witnessed people. This confirms that UFO's were really seen in the Area 51 base.

Your own Website

It is always my dream to have my own website and do my designs and my own layouts for it. It is not such an easy task to make one overnight and market it in an hour. It is a really long task and you will need to put in a lot of efforts to create,design and more than all maintain a website. The first step is to get a host domain which is called web hosting. There are a lot of web hosting services but paid hosting is always the best as you get your own domain name and you could do designs and anything you wish. You also need to pay some renewal amount every year inorder to keep your website active. This amount depends on how much bandwidth your site uses. Usually these are very cheap and does not cost much on a yearly basis. If you could just maintain your site and market it well than who knows you could even become popular in a very few days. As we all know internet and websites are the post powerfull marketing tools which are used now. All you need to have is a lot of hardork, passion and little bit of luck.

Gossips !

I recently read a post from my fellow friend who is a nice blogger. It was all about how gossip affects a persons life. Gossip is something we all do, for good and for sometimes bad. No one can ever claim that they have never done gossip with their friends or partners. Most of the gossip will involve this ugly part of commenting on some one who is nor present there in the gossip session. That is something really bad which most of us do. Talking bad about someone behind is really the most dirty part of gossip and it only proves that you dont even have the guts to face the real guy or girl on face. Comments what so ever be it is best communicated in front of the person whom you are commenting. Back biting is not so a clean habit. Who knows , anyone among your friends might even go and talk crap behind you. You never know who is talkign what and it is highly impossible to keep track of all that. It is wise to stop gossipping bad about others when they are nto present. This would really add more to your living though it sounds to be silly. Please work it out guys. Essence For Better life...(UNIQUE ICON) is the blog which i was talking about. This has a lot of information on how to lead a better life. Remember i said better.
