સુવર્ણ સિદ્ધિ

મિત્રો, આજે આપ સહુ સ્વયંસેવકોના અથાગ પરિશ્રમ અને અવિરત યોગદાનનાં વણથંભ્યા ઉત્સાહને કારણે જુલાઈ ૨૦૦૪માં જન્મેલું આ આપણું વિકિ, એક વર્ષથી પણ ઓછા સમયમાં આશરે ૫૦૦માંથી ૧૦,૦૦૦ લેખો સુધી પહોંચીને આપણું આ બાળક ગુજરાતી વિકિપીડિયા એક પરિપુખ્ત યુવા સ્વરૂપે પહોંચી શક્યું છે. અહીં યોગદાનકર્તા સહુ સભ્યોનો હું અંતઃકરણ પૂર્વક આભાર માનું છું, જેમનાં નિસ્વાર્થ યોગદાન વગર આ ભગિરથ કાર્ય અસંભવ હતું.

આપણા આ વિકિપીડિયાને આ સ્તરે પહોંચાડવામાં સૌથી વધુ યોગદાન સતિષચંદ્ર, અશોક મોઢવાડીયા, જીતેન્દ્રસિંહ, સુશાંત સાવલા અને મહર્ષિ મહેતાનું છે. આ પંચક જો ગુજરાતી વિકિમાં ના બેઠું હોત તો, આજે આપણે આ દિવસ ના જોવા પામ્યા હોત. આશા છે કે આપ સહુ સભ્યો અને મુલાકાતીઓ મારી સાથે આ સભ્યોનો આભાર વ્યક્ત કરવામાં સહભાગી બનશો. --પ્રબંધક (ધવલ વ્યાસ)^{ચર્ચા/યોગદાન} ૧૨ ઓક્ટોબર ૨૦૦૯.

Indian Govt nod to HITS

2009-11-13T18:02:00.001+05:30

The Union Cabinet on November 12, 2009, approved the proposal of the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting to issue policy guidelines for Headend-in-the-Sky (HITS) operators. The policy guidelines provide for a framework for HITS service providers. However, the policy does not mandate for either the cable operators or subscribers to necessarily obtain signals from a HITS platform/ network, the subscribers and cable operators can continue with the existing system. Hence, the cable operators have liberty to switch over to HITS provider network if so desired. Thus, it has a basic difference from the areas notified for CAS (Conditional Access System), which is mandatory.

HITS services have been allowed in both C-Band and Ku-Band. HITS operators can uplink from Indian soil only and will have to install SMS and encryption system.

The Government has allowed total direct and indirect foreign investment, including FDI, up to 74 per cent. Prior FIPB approval will be required if the FDI in beyond 49 per cent.

The cross media holding restriction of 20 per cent of total paid up equity has been prescribed for various segments of broadcasting services. These restrictions have been provided to avoid vertical integration and to promote competition.

There is, however, no restriction on number of permissions. All those found to be eligible and fulfil the terms and conditions can apply for license.

Existing permission holders of HITS will have to comply and migrate to new policy regime within three months failing which their permission shall be cancelled.

HITS would help a subscriber with a wide choice of digital channels, better picture quality and value added services at affordable price. HITS would provide greater channel capacity from the present limited capacity of channels placed in prime/non prime band.

SWINE FLUE (H1N1) Guidelines By WHO

2009-08-17T12:11:00.001+05:30

This is the Guidelines for SWINE FLUE by WHO.

What can I do?

What can I do to protect myself from catching influenza A(H1N1)?

The main route of transmission of the new influenza A(H1N1) virus seems to be similar to seasonal influenza, via droplets that are expelled by speaking, sneezing or coughing. You can prevent getting infected by avoiding close contact with people who show influenza-like symptoms (trying to maintain a distance of about 1 metre if possible) and taking the following measures:

avoid touching your mouth and nose;
clean hands thoroughly with soap and water, or cleanse them with an alcohol-based hand rub on a regular basis (especially if touching the mouth and nose, or surfaces that are potentially contaminated);
avoid close contact with people who might be ill;
reduce the time spent in crowded settings if possible;
improve airflow in your living space by opening windows;
practise good health habits including adequate sleep, eating nutritious food, and keeping physically active.

What about using a mask? What does WHO recommend?

If you are not sick you do not have to wear a mask.

If you are caring for a sick person, you can wear a mask when you are in close contact with the ill person and dispose of it immediately after contact, and cleanse your hands thoroughly afterwards.

When and how to use a mask?

If you are sick and must travel or be around others, cover your mouth and nose.

Using a mask correctly in all situations is essential. Incorrect use actually increases the chance of spreading infection.

How do I know if I have influenza A(H1N1)?

You will not be able to tell the difference between seasonal flu and influenza A(H1N1) without medical help. Typical symptoms to watch for are similar to seasonal viruses and include fever, cough, headache, body aches, sore throat and runny nose. Only your medical practitioner and local health authority can confirm a case of influenza A(H1N1).

What should I do if I think I have the illness?

If you feel unwell, have high fever, cough or sore throat:

stay at home and keep away from work, school or crowds;
rest and take plenty of fluids;
cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing and, if using tissues, make sure you dispose of them carefully. Clean your hands immediately after with soap and water or cleanse them with an alcohol-based hand rub;
if you do not have a tissue close by when you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth as much as possible with the crook of your elbow;
use a mask to help you contain the spread of droplets when you are around others, but be sure to do so correctly;
inform family and friends about your illness and try to avoid contact with other people;
If possible, contact a health professional before traveling to a health facility to discuss whether a medical examination is necessary.

Should I take an antiviral now just in case I catch the new virus?

No. You should only take an antiviral, such as oseltamivir or zanamivir, if your health care provider advises you to do so. Individuals should not buy medicines to prevent or fight this new influenza without a prescription, and they should exercise caution in buying antivirals over the Internet.

Warning on purchase of antivirals without a prescription [pdf 35kb]

What about breastfeeding? Should I stop if I am ill?

No, not unless your health care provider advises it. Studies on other influenza infections show that breastfeeding is most likely protective for babies - it passes on helpful maternal immunities and lowers the risk of respiratory disease. Breastfeeding provides the best overall nutrition for babies and increases their defense factors to fight illness.

When should someone seek medical care?

A person should seek medical care if they experience shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, or if a fever continues more than three days. For parents with a young child who is ill, seek medical care if a child has fast or labored breathing, continuing fever or convulsions (seizures).

Supportive care at home - resting, drinking plenty of fluids and using a pain reliever for aches - is adequate for recovery in most cases. (A non-aspirin pain reliever should be used by children and young adults because of the risk of Reye's syndrome.)

Should I go to work if I have the flu but am feeling OK?

No. Whether you have influenza A(H1N1) or a seasonal influenza, you should stay home and away from work through the duration of your symptoms. This is a precaution that can protect your work colleagues and others.

Can I travel?

If you are feeling unwell or have symptoms of influenza, you should not travel. If you have any doubts about your health, you should check with your health care provider.

India

2009-08-12T10:25:00.001+05:30

India, officially the Republic of India (Hindi: भारत गणराज्य Bhārat Gaṇarājya; see also other Indian languages), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the west, and the Bay of Bengal on the east, India has a coastline of 7,517 kilometres (4,700 mi).^[14] It is bordered by Pakistan to the west;^[15] People's Republic of China (PRC), Nepal, and Bhutan to the north; and Bangladesh and Myanmar to the east. India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Indonesia in the Indian Ocean.

Home to the Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history.^[16] Four major religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism originated there, while Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam arrived in the first millennium CE and shaped the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by the British East India Company from the early eighteenth century and colonised by the United Kingdom from the mid-nineteenth century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by widespread nonviolent resistance.^[17]

India is a republic consisting of 28 states and seven union territories with a parliamentary system of democracy. It has the world's twelfth largest economy at market exchange rates and the fourth largest in purchasing power. Economic reforms since 1991 have transformed it into one of the fastest growing economies;^[18] however, it still suffers from high levels of poverty,^[19] illiteracy, disease, and malnutrition. A pluralistic, multilingual, and multiethnic society, India is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats.

Creativity Quotes for Advertising

2009-08-05T18:19:00.001+05:30

A. A. Milne:
One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.

Abraham Maslow:
The key question isn't "What fosters creativity?" But it is why in God's name isn't everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? I think therefore a good question might be not why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate? We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.

Alan Alda:
The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.

Albert Einstein:
You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.

Albert Einstein:
I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts.

Albert Einstein:
Technological change is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.

Albert Einstein:
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Arthur Koestler:
Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.

Beatrix Potter:
Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.

Buckminster Fuller:
When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.

Buckminster Fuller:
There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.

Carl Sagan:
It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science.

Carl Sagan:
If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.

Edward de Bono:
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

Edwin Land:
Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity.

Erich Fromm:
Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.

Erich Fromm:
Conditions for creativity are to be puzzled; to concentrate; to accept conflict and tension; to be born everyday; to feel a sense of self.

Franklin D. Roosevelt:
Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.

Georg C. Lichtenberg:
Eveyone is a genius at least once a year. A real genius has his original ideas closer together.

Henry David Thoreau:
The world is but a canvas to the imagination.

Lillian Hellman:
Decision by democratic majority vote is a fine form of government, but it's a stinking way to create.

Linus Pauling:
The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.

Linus Pauling:
The best way to get a good idea is to get a lot of ideas.

Margaret J. Wheatley:
The things we fear most in organizations -- fluctuations, disturbances, imbalances -- are the primary sources of creativity.

Marie Antoinette:
There is nothing new except what has been forgotten.

Martin Luther King Jr.:
Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.

Monica Baldwin:
The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.

Niels Bohr:
Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true.

Nietzsche:
You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.

Oscar Levant:
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

Pablo Picasso:
All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

Peter Senge:
New insights fail to get put into practice because they conflict with deeply held internal images of how the world works ... images that limit us to familiar ways of thinking and acting. That is why the discipline of managing mental models -- surfacing, testing, and improving our internal pictures of how the world works -- promises to be a major breakthrough for learning organizations.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:
A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some sort becoming a tree; or draw a child by studying the outlines of its form merely . . . but by watching for a time his motions and plays, the painter enters into his nature and can then draw him at every attitude . . .

Ray Bradbury:
Life is "trying things to see if they work."

Rene Descartes:
Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it.

Rita Mae Brown:
Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.

Robert C. Fuller :
Spirituality exists wherever we struggle with the issue of how our lives fit into the greater cosmic scheme of things. This is true even when our questions never give way to specific answers or give rise to specific practices such as prayer or meditation. We encounter spiritual issues every time we wonder where the universe comes from, why we are here, or what happens when we die. We also become spiritual when we become moved by values such as beauty, love, or creativity that seem to reveal a meaning or power beyond our visible world. An idea or practice is "spiritual" when it reveals our personal desire to establish a felt-relationship with the deepest meanings or powers governing life.

Rollo May:
Creativity arises out of the tension between spontaneity and limitations, the latter (like the river banks) forcing the spontaneity into the various forms which are essential to the work of art or poem.

Saul Steinberg:
The life of the creative man is lead, directed and controlled by boredom. Avoiding boredom is one of our most important purposes.

Sharon Welch:
Injustice can be eliminated, but human conflicts and natural limitations cannot be removed. The conflicts of social life and the limitations of nature cannot be controlled or transcended. They can, however, be endured and survived. It is possible for there to be a dance with life, a creative response to its intrinsic limits and challenges ... [A Feminist Ethic of Risk]

Theodore Adorno:
A successful work of art is not one which resolves contradictions in a spurious harmony, but one which expresses the idea of harmony negatively by embodying the contradictions, pure and uncompromised, in its innermost structure.

Unknown:
[C]reative ability and personal responsibility are strongest when the mind is free from supernatural belief and operates in an atmosphere of freedom and democracy.

V. S. Naipaul:
I have trusted to my intuition to find the subjects, and I have written intuitively. I have an idea when I start, I have a shape; but I will fully understand what I have written only after some years.

Victor Hugo:
An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.

Virginia Woolf:
Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.

Virginia Woolf:
It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything.

Will Rogers:
If stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?

William Golding:
Marx, Darwin and Freud are the three most crashing bores of the Western World. Simplistic popularization of their ideas has thrust our world into a mental straitjacket from which we can only escape by the most anarchic violence.

William James:
Genius means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way.

સુવિચારોનું સંકલન

2009-08-05T17:58:00.000+05:30

[અગાઉ રીડગુજરાતી પર મૂકાયેલા સુવિચારોનું સંકલન ]

સાચું બોલવાની પણ એક રીત હોય છે. તે એવી રીતે બોલાવું જોઈએ કે તે અપ્રિય ન બને.
–મોરારજીભાઈ દેસાઈ

મન પંચરંગી છે. ક્ષણે ક્ષણે તેના રંગ બદલાય છે. એક જ રંગના રંગાયેલા કોઈ વિરલા જ હોય છે.
–કબીર

જગતમાં માણસ સિવાય જેમ બીજું કોઈ મોટું નથી, તેમ માણસના ચારિત્ર્ય સિવાય બીજું કાંઈ પણ મોટું નથી.
–ડબલ્યુ એમ. ઈવાર્ટસ

બધે જ ગુણની પૂજા થાય છે, સંપત્તિની નહિ. પૂનમના ચંદ્ર કરતાં બીજનો ક્ષીણ ચંદ્ર જ વંદનીય ગણાય છે.
–ચાણક્ય

પરાજય શું છે ? એ એક પ્રકારનું શિક્ષણ છે. કાંઈ પણ વધારે સારી વસ્તુ, સારી સ્થિતિ તરફ જવાનું તે પહેલું પગથિયું છે.
–વેન્ડેલ ફિલિપ્સ

હંમેશા હસતા રહેવાથી અને ખુશનુમા રહેવાથી, પ્રાર્થના કરતાં પણ વધારે જલદી ઈશ્વરની નજીક પહોંચાય છે.
–સ્વામી વિવેકાનંદ

બીજા કોઈ પણ સદગુણ કરતાં બીજાની વાત શાંતિથી સાંભળવાનો સદગુણ ઘણા થોડા માણસોમાં નજરે પડે છે.
–ડેલ કાર્નેગી

સુંદર સત્યને થોડા શબ્દોમાં કહો પણ કુરૂપ સત્ય માટે કોઈ શબ્દ ન વાપરો.
–ખલીલ જિબ્રાન

કળા એટલે પ્રત્યેક ચીજને, એટલે કે વિચારને, વાણીને, વર્તનને તેના યથાયોગ્ય સ્થાને મૂકવી.
–જે. કૃષ્ણમૂર્તિ

જેની પાસે ધૈર્ય છે અને જે મહેનતથી ગભરાતો નથી; સફળતા તેની દાસી છે.
–દયાનંદ સરસ્વતી

આયુ, કર્મ, સંપત્તિ, વિદ્યા અને મરણ આ પાંચ – જીવ ગર્ભમાં રહે ત્યારે જ નિશ્ચિત થઈ જાય છે.
–ચાણક્ય

જો માનવીને સુંદર ઘર બાંધતા આવડે તો તેવા ઘરમાં સુંદર રીતે જીવતાં કેમ ન આવડે ?
–બબાભાઈ પટેલ

પ્રભુ છે અને સર્વત્ર છે. આ તથ્ય આપણે બોલીએ તો છીએ, પણ આપણું આચરણ એવું છે કે જાણે પ્રભુ ક્યાંય છે જ નહિ.
–રવીન્દ્રનાથ ટાગોર

જો તમે મગજને શાંત રાખી શકતા હશો તો તમે જગને જીતી શકશો.
–ગુરુ નાનક

માણસ ચંદ્ર લગી પહોંચ્યો. પણ પૃથ્વી પરના મનુષ્યના હૃદય સુધી પહોંચવાનું હજી બાકી છે.
–ઉમાશંકર જોશી

કોઈનો સ્નેહ ક્યારેય ઓછો હોતો નથી, આપણી અપેક્ષાઓ જ વધારે હોય છે.
–હરીન્દ્ર દવે

જે મિત્ર નથી, તે શત્રુ બનતો નથી પણ જે મિત્ર છે તે જ એક દિવસ શત્રુ બને છે.
–ડૉંગરે મહારાજ

ધનસમૃદ્ધિ માણસને બદલી નથી નાખતી, પણ માણસનું અસલ સ્વરૂપ પ્રગટ કરી દે છે.
–થોમસ પેઈન

ભૂલોને આવતી રોકવા બધાં બારણાં બંધ કરી દેશો તો પછી સત્ય ક્યાં થઈને આવશે ?
–રવીન્દ્રનાથ ટાગોર

હું ભવિષ્યનો વિચાર કરતો નથી, કારણ હું વિચાર કરું એ પહેલાં તો એ આવી જાય છે.
–આલબર્ટ આઈન્સ્ટાઈન

જ્ઞાન એ દોરો પરોવેલી સોય જેવું છે. દોરો પરોવેલી સોય ખોવાતી નથી તેમ જ્ઞાન હોવાથી સંસારમાં ભૂલા પડાતું નથી.
–શ્રીમદ્ રાજચંદ્ર

આ દુનિયામાં ઘણી સહેલાઈથી છેતરી શકાય તેવી વ્યક્તિ જો કોઈ હોય તો તે આપણી જાત છે.
–લાઈટૉન

દાન આપતી વખતે હાથમાં શું હતું એ નહિ, પણ દિલમાં શું હતું એ જોવાનું છે.
–ફાધર વાલેસ

આ જગતમાં પરોપકાર સિવાય કોઈ ધર્મ નથી અને બીજાને દુ:ખ આપવા સમાન કોઈ પાપ નથી.
–સંત તુલસીદાસ

બે ધર્મો વચ્ચે કદી પણ ઝઘડો થતો નથી, જે ઝઘડો થાય છે તે બે અધર્મો વચ્ચે થાય છે.
–વિનોબાજી

વગર લેવેદેવે કોઈને કાંઈ સૂચન કરવું કે કોઈને સુધારવા મંડી પડવું એ અહંકારની પેદાશ છે.
–શ્રી મોટા

જીભ એ બુદ્ધિના ખજાનાની ચાવી છે. ચાવી લગાડી ખજાનો ઉઘાડો નહિ ત્યાં લગી કેમ ખબર પડે કે અંદર શું છે ?
–શેખ સાદી

મિત્ર પાસેથી ઉધાર પૈસા લેતા પહેલાં એ વિચારો કે તમને બંનેમાંથી કોની જરૂરિયાત વધારે છે ?
–ગોનેજ

આત્મવિશ્વાસ જ અદ્દભુત, અદશ્ય અને અનુપમ શક્તિ છે જેને આધારે જ તમે તમારા ધ્યેય તરફ આગળ વધો છો. તે જ તમારો આત્મા છે, તે જ તમારો પથદર્શક છે.
–સ્વેટ માર્ડન

જીવન શાંતિ માટે છે, જ્ઞાન માટે છે, પ્રકાશ માટે છે, સેવા અને સમર્પણ માટે છે.
–ધૂમકેતુ

કાંટાળી ડાળને ફૂલો જેમ સુંદર બનાવી શકે છે તેમ એક સંસ્કારી સ્ત્રી એક ગરીબ માણસના ઘરને સુંદર અને સ્વર્ગ જેવું બનાવી શકે છે.
–ગોલ્ડ સ્મિથ

ઘરનાં સભ્યોનો સ્નેહ ડૉકટરની દવા કરતાંય વધુ લાભદાયી હોય છે.
–પ્રેમચંદ

દરેક નવજાત શિશુ પૃથ્વી પર એવો સંદેશો લઈને આવે છે કે ભગવાને હજી માણસને વિશે આશા ખોઈ નથી.
–રવીન્દ્રનાથ

ચિંતા ચિતાથી પણ વધારે ખરાબ છે. કારણ કે ચિતા તો નિર્જીવ વસ્તુને બાળે છે પણ ચિંતા તો સજીવ શરીરને બાળે છે.
–રહીમ

ખરો વિદ્યાભ્યાસ એ જ છે કે જેના વડે આપણે આત્માને, પોતાની જાતને, ઈશ્વરને અને સત્યને ઓળખીએ.
–ગાંધીજી

જે મનુષ્ય ઘરને તીર્થ ન ગણે તે ગમે તેવા તીર્થમાં જાય તોય હૃદયથી ઠરે નહિ.
–કાંતિલાલ કાલાણી

મૌનના ફળરૂપે પ્રાર્થના અને પ્રાર્થનાનું ફ્ળ શ્રદ્ધા. શ્રદ્ધાનું ફળ પ્રેમ અને પ્રેમનું ફળ સેવા.
–મધર ટેરેસા

માણસની આંખ જીભ કરતાં અનેક વાર વધુ કહી આપે છે; અને સાચું કહી દે છે. એના સંદેશ વાંચતા શીખીએ.
–ફાધર વાલેસ

મનુષ્ય તો કેવળ વચન જ દઈ શકે છે. તે વચનને સફળ કરવું જેના હાથમાં છે તેના પર જ ભરોસો રાખવો સારો છે.
–રવીન્દ્રનાથ ટાગોર

તારું જો કશું યે ના હોય તો છોડીને આવતું, તારું જો બધુંયે હોય તો છોડી બતાવ તું !
–રાજેશ વ્યાસ ‘મિસ્કીન’

જીવન એક આરસી જેવું છે. તેના તરફ મલકશો તો મોહક લાગશે, તેની સામે ઘૂરકશો તો તે બેડોળ લાગશે.
–એડવિંગ ફોલિપ

કોઈની ટીકા કરીએ ત્યારે આપણી ઓછી અક્કલ કે અજ્ઞાનતાનું માપ ન નીકળી આવે તેની ખાસ તકેદારી રાખવી જોઈએ.
–મોરારજી દેસાઈ

હિંમત એટલે શું ? એનો અર્થ એ કે પરિણામની પરવા કર્યા વિના તમે કાર્યસિદ્ધિ માટે મથ્યા રહો.
–ચાલટેન હેસ્ટન

માનવીની મહત્તા એમાં નથી કે તે શું છે, બલકે તેમાં છે કે તે શું બની શકે તેમ છે.
–ડૉ. રાઘાકૃષ્ણન

વિશ્વાસ એવી શક્તિ છે જે માનવીને જીવિત રાખે છે. વિશ્વાસનો અભાવ જ જીવનનું અવસાન છે.
–વિલિયમ જેમ્સ

દુ:ખ અને મુશ્કેલી એ માનવીને શિક્ષણ આપતા બે શ્રેષ્ઠ ગુણ છે. જે માનવી સાહસ સાથે એને સહન કરે છે એ પોતાના જીવનમાં સફળતા મેળવે છે.
–લોકમાન્ય ટિળક

દરેક બીજ એ ખેડૂતને મન ધાન્યભંડાર છે, તેમ દરેક પળ એ જ્ઞાનીને મન જ્ઞાનભંડાર છે. જે પળ આપે તે કોઈ ન આપે.
–ધૂમકેતુ

આપણે જેમને સહુથી વધુ ચાહીએ છીએ તેમનામાં જ આપણને વધુ દુ:ખ આપવાની શક્તિ રહેલી હોય છે.
–જોન ફ્લેયર

જેવી રીતે સ્વચ્છ દર્પણમાં મુખ ચોખ્ખું દેખાય છે એવી જ રીતે શુદ્ધ મનમાં જ્ઞાન પ્રગટ થાય છે.
–શંકરાચાર્ય

જીવન ટૂંકું છે અને જંજાળ લાંબી છે. જંજાળ ટૂંકી હશે તો સુખરૂપે જિંદગી લાંબી લાગશે.
–શ્રીમદ્ રાજચંદ્ર

ઉત્તમ વસ્તુની ઉત્પત્તિ ઉચ્ચ સ્થાનોમાંથી જ થાય છે. ચંચળ ને ચમકતી વીજળીની ઉત્પતિ પણ ધરતીના તળિયેથી થોડી થાય છે ?
–કવિ કાલિદાસ

જે આનંદ આપણે મેળવીએ છીએ તેનો થાક લાગે છે, પરંતુ જે આનંદ આપણે બીજાને આપીએ છીએ તેનો થાક લાગતો નથી.
–આરિફશા

એક મનુષ્ય બીજાના મનની વાત જાણી શકે છે તો માત્ર સહાનુભૂતિથી અને પ્રેમથી; ઉંમર અને બુદ્ધિથી નહીં.
–શરત્ચંદ્ર

સુખ પતંગિયા જેવું ક્ષણિક છે એની પાછળ પડો એટલું વધારે દોડાવે; પણ જો તમારું ધ્યાન બીજી બાબતોમાં પરોવશો તો આવીને હળવેથી તમારા ખભા પર બેસી જશે.
–કવિ કલાપી

એવું કોઈ પણ માણસ જગતમાં જન્મ પામતું નથી કે જેને માટે કોઈ પણ કામ નિર્માણ ન થયું હોય.
–લોવેલ

સમર્થ માટે કોઈ વસ્તુ ભારે નથી, વ્યવસાયીને કોઈ પ્રદેશ દૂર નથી, સુવિધાવાનો માટે કોઈ વિદેશ નથી અને પ્રિય વાણી બોલનાર માટે કોઈ પરાયું નથી.
–ચાણક્ય

આપણી અડધી જિંદગી જૂની પેઢીને સમજવામાં જાય છે અને બાકીની અડધી નવી પેઢીને સમજવામાં જાય છે.
–અર્લ વિલ્સન

જો બીજાએ તમને ઈજા કરી હોય તો એ ભૂલી જજો, પણ તમે જો કોઈને ઈજા કરી હોય તો એ કદી ભૂલતા નહિ.
–ખલિલ જિબ્રાન

જો કોઈ ચીજ આપણી થઈને આપણી પાસે રહેતી હોય તો તે છે બીજાને આપણે જે આપ્યું છે તે.
–લૂઈ જિન્સબર્ગ

આક્રમણ કરવાવાળા શત્રુથી ન ડરો પણ જે તમારી ખુશામત કરે છે તેવા મિત્રથી ડરો.
–જનરલ એબ્રગોન

ભગવાને આપણને ઘણું સુખ આપ્યું છે. જે દુ:ખનો ઈલાજ નથી તે યાદ કરીને દુ:ખી થવા કરતાં ઈશ્વરે જે સુખ આપ્યું છે તે માટે તેનો પાડ માનીએ.
–સરદાર પટેલ

જીવન એક બાજી છે, જેમાં હારજીત આપણા હાથમાં નથી, પણ બાજી રમવી આપણા હાથમાં છે.

પ્રભુભક્તિમાં જેમ બને તેમ તત્પર રહેવું, મોક્ષનો એ ધુરંધર માર્ગ મને લાગ્યો છે.
-શ્રીમદ્ રાજચંદ્ર

મારો શિષ્ય એક જ છે અને તે છે મોહનદાસ ગાંધી. એને કેળવતાં અને કાબૂમાં રાખતાં મારો દમ નીકળી જાય છે. બીજો શિષ્ય કરવા ક્યાં જાઉં ?
-ગાંધીજી

જે પ્રેમ નિત્ય નવીન નથી હોતો, તે એક આદત અને છેવટે એક બંધન બની જાય છે.

હે પરમાત્મા, મારી વાણી મારા મનમાં સ્થિર થાઓ અને મારું મન મારી વાણીમાં સ્થિર થાઓ.
-ઐતરેય ઉપનિષદ

દરેક વ્યક્તિમાં અનંત શક્યતા છે. આપણામાંના પ્રત્યેકમાં કોઈક એવું બીજ છે જેમાંથી વૃક્ષ પ્રગટી શકે.
-પ્રે. મહાદેવ ધોરિયાણી

તમારી આકાંક્ષાઓ એ તમારી શક્યતાઓ છે. જેવી આકાંક્ષા તેવી સિદ્ધિ.
-રોબર્ટ બ્રાઉનીંગ

જેણે મનને જીતી લીધું છે, તેને ટાઢ-તડકો, સુખ-દુ:ખ, માન-અપમાન બધું સરખું છે.

-સ્વામી વિવેકાનંદ

પહેલાં ઈશ્વર પ્રાપ્ત કરો. પછી ધન કમાઓ. આથી ઊલટું કરવાની કોશિશ ન કરો. જો આધ્યાત્મિકતા પ્રાપ્ત કર્યા પછી તમે સાંસારિક જીવન ગાળશો તો તમે મનની શાંતિ કદી નહીં ગુમાવો.
-શ્રી રામકૃષ્ણ પરમહંસ

પાંડિત્ય પુસ્તક વાંચવામાં છે, પુસ્તક-સંગ્રહમાં નથી. શૌર્ય તલવાર વાપરવામાં છે, કેડે લટકાવવામાં નથી.
-કાકા કાલેલકર

જેની સિદ્ધિનો આધાર બીજા ઉપર છે, તેવું કર્મ કદી ન આરંભો. પણ જેની સિદ્ધિનો આધાર પોતાની જાત પર જ છે તે કર્મ અવશ્ય આરંભો.

-હજરત અલી

મનુષ્યનું જીવન શ્રદ્ધા અને વિવેકથી ચાલે છે. વિવેક ન હોય, પરંતુ શ્રદ્ધા હોય તો બીજાના વિવેકથી લાભ ઉઠાવી શકાય છે. બીજાના વિવેકથી લાભ ઉઠાવવાની યોગ્યતાનું નામ ‘શ્રદ્ધા’ છે.
-સ્વામી અખંડઆનંદ સરસ્વતી

જીવનમાં નિરંતર તાજગી અને અતૂટ દિલચસ્પી ત્યારે જ મળે છે કે જ્યારે આંતરિક વિકાસ નિરંતર થયો હોય.
-શ્રી અરવિંદ

-કનૈયાલાલ મુનશી

-મહાત્મા ગાંધી

કેળવણી બે પ્રકારની છે. એક કેળવણી માણસને માણસાઈનું ભાન કરાવે છે. બીજી કેળવણી માણસની માણસાઈ લઈ લે છે.

-ફાન્સિસ બાઉડિર્ણાન

જેમ કાંટાળી ડાળને ફૂલ સુંદર બનાવી શકે છે તેમ સુશીલ સ્ત્રી ગરીબ માણસના ઘરને સુંદર અને સ્વચ્છ સ્વર્ગસમુ બનાવી શકે છે.

સાચુ બોલવાનો આગ્રહ રાખનાર માણસ બિલકુલ નિર્દોષ હોય તો પણ દુ:ખી થાય, એવો રુગ્ણ સમાજ આપણે કહેવાતા ધર્મની ઓથે રચી બેઠા છીએ.
-ગુણવંત શાહ

દુનિયા આપણે માનીએ છીએ એટલી સાવ ખરાબ કે દુષ્ટ નથી. એ છે ત્યાંથી જલદી બહુ ઊંચે આવતી નથી, એટલી જ દુ:ખની વાત છે.
-કાકા કાલેલકર

સર્વ મનુષ્યોના અંતરમાં ઈશ્વરે જે બધાં સત્ય અને સૌંદર્ય મૂકેલાં છે, તેનું સતત દર્શન કવિતા આપણને કરાવતી રહે છે.

"If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it."

Lord Kelvin

How much does it cost to leave your TV on all day? What about turning your air conditioning 1 degree cooler? Which uses more power every month — your dishwasher or your washing machine? Is your household more or less energy efficient than similar homes in your neighborhood?

Its nearly impossible to make informed choices about electricity. This is a problem but also a huge opportunity for us all to save money and help the environment by reducing our power usage. Studies show that access to your household's personal energy information is likely to save you 5–15% on your monthly bill. Even greater savings are possible if you use this information to see the value of retiring your old refrigerator, installing a new air conditioner or insulating your home. The potential impact of large numbers of people achieving similar efficiencies is even more exciting. For every six households that save 10% on electricity, for instance, we reduce carbon emissions as much as taking one conventional car off the road (see sources and calculation).

At Google we're helping enable a future where access to personal electricity information helps everyone make smarter energy choices. Google PowerMeter shows consumers their electricity consumption in a secure Google gadget. Today we are testing the product with utility partners in the US, India, Germany, and Canada.

We think Google PowerMeter offers more useful and actionable feedback than complicated monthly paper bills that provide little detail on consumption or how to save energy. But Google PowerMeter is just a start; it will take a lot of different groups working together to create what the world really needs: a path to smarter power.

Partners

Our initial partners include a variety of utilities (large and small, rural and urban, privately held and municipally run) and one of the largest meter manufacturers. They all have one thing in common - a desire to serve their customers by providing access to detailed information that helps customers save energy and money. For now, Google Power Meter is only available to a limited group of customers, but we plan to expand our roll out later this year. Our partner utilities are helping to lead the charge to make the electricity grid smarter and we look forward to working with them and others.

Capital Expenditure: It consists of payments for acquisition of assets like land, buildings, machinery, equipment, as also investments in shares etc, and loans and advances granted by the Central government to state and union territory governments, government companies, corporations and other parties.

Capital Receipt: The main items of capital receipts are loans raised by the government from public which are called market loans, borrowings by the government from the Reserve Bank of India and other parties through sale of Treasury Bills, loans received from foreign governments and bodies and recoveries of loans granted by the Central government to state and union territory governments and other parties. It also includes proceeds from disinvestment of government equity in public enterprises.

Central Plan: It consists of the government’s budget support to the Plan and the internal and extra budgetary resources raised by public enterprises.

Consolidated Fund: It is made up of all revenues received by the government, loans raised by it, and also its receipts from recoveries of loans granted by it. All expenditure of the government is incurred from the Consolidated Fund and no amount can be withdrawn from the Fund without authorisation from Parliament.

Contingency Fund: It is an imprest placed at the disposal of the President and is used by the government to incur all its urgent and unforeseen expenditure. Parliamentary approval for such expenditure and for withdrawal of an equivalent amount from the Consolidated Fund is subsequently obtained and the amount spent from the Contingency Fund is recouped to the Fund.

Demands for Grants: It is a statement of estimates of expenditure from the Consolidated Fund and is required to be voted by the Lok Sabha. Generally, one Demand for Grant is presented in respect of each ministry or department.

Expenditure Budget: It contains expenditure estimates made for a scheme or programme under both revenue and capital heads. These estimates are brought together and shown on a net basis at one place by major heads.

Finance Bill: This contains the government’s proposals for levy of new taxes, modification of the existing tax structure or continuance of the existing tax structure beyond the period approved by Parliament. It is submitted to Parliament along with the Budget for its approval.

Fiscal Deficit: It is the difference between the revenue receipts plus certain non-debt capital receipts and the total expenditure including loans (net of repayments). This indicates the total borrowing requirements of the government from all sources.

Monetised Deficit: It indicates the level of support extended by the Reserve Bank of India to the government’s borrowing programme.

Non-Plan Expenditure: It includes both revenue and capital expenditure on interest payments, the entire defence expenditure (both revenue and capital expenditure), subsidies, postal deficit, police, pensions, economic services, loans to public enterprises and loans as well as grants to state governments, union territory governments and foreign governments.

Plan Expenditure: It includes both revenue and capital expenditure of the government on the Central Plan, Central assistance to state and union territory plans. It forms a sizeable proportion of the total expenditure of the Central government.

Public Account: It is an account in which money received through transactions not relating to the Consolidated Fund is kept. Besides the normal receipts and expenditure of the government relating to the Consolidated Fund, certain other transactions enter government accounts in respect of which the government acts more as a banker, for example, transactions relating to provident funds, small savings collections, other deposits etc. Such money is kept in the Public Account and the connected disbursements are also made from it. Public Account funds do not belong to the government and have to be paid back some time or the other to the persons and authorities who deposited them. Parliamentary authorisation for payments from the Public Account is not required.

Broadly speaking, expenditure which does not result in creation of assets is treated as revenue expenditure. All grants given to state governments and other parties are also treated as revenue expenditure even though some of the grants may be for creation of assets.

Revenue Receipt: It includes proceeds of taxes and other duties levied by the Centre, interest and dividend on investments made by the government, fees and other receipts for services rendered by the government.

Year 2009-10 Budget India

On July 6th, Pranab Mukherjee is all set to present this year's Union Budget, making a comeback as Finance Minister (after more than two long decades). Not even our Indian cricketing ‘comeback’ heroes Mohinder Amarnath and Saurav Ganguly can hope to match that....

It would be an understatement to say that expectations from the upcoming Union Budget are running high. To my mind, the Finance Minister's job is akin to that of a wicket keeper in cricket where you are remembered not for the catches you take, but the ones you drop...

And so, just as every catch cannot always be taken, not everyone can be satisfied with the Budget. Nevertheless, almost everyone has a wish list and capital market participants are no exception.

Quotes on India

2009-06-24T15:10:00.001+05:30

Historians, writers, politicians and other eminent personalities across the Globe have greatly appreciated India and its contribution to rest of the world. Though these remarks are only a partial reflection of the greatness of India, they certainly make us feel proud of our motherland.

"We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made!"

- Albert Einstein (Theoretical Physicist, Germany)

"India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. Our most valuable and most artistic materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only!"

- Mark Twain (Writer, America)

"If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India!"

- Romaine Rolland (French scholar)

"She (India) has left indelible imprints on one fourth of the human race in the course of a long succession of centuries. She has the right to reclaim ... her place amongst the great nations summarizing and symbolizing the spirit of humanity. From Persia to the Chinese sea, from the icy regions of Siberia to Islands of Java and Borneo, India has propagated her beliefs, her tales, and her civilization!"

- Sylvia Levi (French Scholar)

"Civilizations have arisen in other parts of the world. In ancient and modern times, wonderful ideas have been carried forward from one race to another...But mark you, my friends, it has been always with the blast of war trumpets and the march of embattled cohorts. Each idea had to be soaked in a deluge of blood..... Each word of power had to be followed by the groans of millions, by the wails of orphans, by the tears of widows. This, many other nations have taught; but India for thousands of years peacefully existed. Here activity prevailed when even Greece did not exist... Even earlier, when history has no record, and tradition dares not peer into the gloom of that intense past, even from until now, ideas after ideas have marched out from her, but every word has been spoken with a blessing behind it and peace before it. We, of all nations of the world, have never been a conquering race, and that blessing is on our head, and therefore we live....!"

- Swami Vivekanand (Indian Philosopher)

"If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India."

- Max Mueller (German Scholar)

"India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border."

- Hu Shih (Former Ambassador of China to USA)

"There are some parts of the world that, once visited, get into your heart and won't go. For me, India is such a place. When I first visited, I was stunned by the richness of the land, by its lush beauty and exotic architecture, by its ability to overload the senses with the pure, concentrated intensity of its colors, smells, tastes, and sounds. It was as if all my life I had been seeing the world in black and white and, when brought face-to-face with India, experienced everything re-rendered in brilliant technicolor."

- Keith Bellows (Editor-in-chief, National Geographic Society)
