VizhiNjam port

noreply@blogger.com (Crazy Engineer) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:15:00 +0000

Why vizhinjam port..?

Proposed project aims to fulfill the need of providing Transshipment on Indian Coast (at present there is no existing Container Transshipment Terminal in India to cater to this need. Annual Container Traffic close to 4 Million TEUs is currently originating or destined to India through Sea route with CAGR of 14% during the last decade).

Vizhinjam is an all-weather port and the international shipping line is just one nautical mile off Vizhinjam coast.

The proposed site is on the INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING LINE, very close to the EAST-WEST SHIPPING AXIS.
The proposed site is endowed with natural depth of 24 m (which is by far the best compared to other ports in the world) as close as one Nautical Mile from the sea coast. There is no littoral sedimentation and due to natural depth availability, the site needs no dredging or minimal capital dredging requirements and thus low costs (as compared to the any other port in India within a reasonable distance from the East-West Shipping axis).

The depths at ports in New York, Southampton, Singapore, Dubai, Colombo, Hong Kong is 15 meters and requires dredging
It has more advantages compared to Colombo port and if developed can harbour even Panamax class and futuristic vessels. It also satisfies the physical and hydrographical parameters of modern seaports, the memorandum said.

The proposed site has minimal Littoral drift and as such would hardly require any maintenance dredging during the years of operation. This will result in low O&M Costs.
The proposed port is a Green-field project, away from urban/city limits, and thus can be master planned and shaped by the professional and experienced developer as per his own efficient designs and needs. The Port can turn out to be an efficient, modern and highly productive port with design, expertise and experience of the successful developer having international experience in such ports.

The port can attract large share of the container transshipment traffic which is now being diverted to Colombo, Singapore and Dubai. It can also ensure the badly needed economic development of India other than opening up immense job opportunities.

THE proposed deepwater international container trans-shipment terminal at Vizhinjam is expected to bring down the total costs of movement of containers to and from foreign destinations, according to the Container Shipment Economics Study.

At present, India's port capacity(12 major Indian ports) is a meagre 4.61 million TEUs/annum compared with China's capacity of 50 million TEUs, almost 11 times that of India's. Vizhinjam Port alone will have the capaciy of 4.10 million TEU/annum.

Nuclear AgrEEment Between india and USA

noreply@blogger.com (Crazy Engineer) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:15:00 +0000

MUST READ BY EVERY INDIAN

Nuclear Agreement between India - USA

There are lot of talks about 1 2 3 Agreement between India & USA and italmost led to the topple of Central Government.

What is 123 Agreement? This is called 123 Agreement because this comes under USA 's Atomic PowerAct 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 isproducing power as well as Atom. It's a high security / secret that from where which is produced, how much is produced, where it issupplied, what research is being done with that, etc. to anybody. Butif we sign this Agreement, we have to disclose these secrets and alsoagree 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 reuseand 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 / technologysupplied 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 bythem, then there is no clause for cancelling this agreement. The agreement is apparently like this... USA can either hug India orslap 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 2Requirement of Power The most important requirement for India 's Economic Growth in the comingyears will be the power & infrastructure. The argument put forthfavouring the 123 Agreement says that we need Nuclear Power Production to be increased to meet the demand.

Power Production in IndiaPresently following are the figures:

Thermal Power 66%
Hydel Power 26%
Solar & Wind Power 5% - Presently Rs.600 Crores are spent for producingthis power.
Nuclear Power 3% - If this is to be increased to 6%, itrequires additional Rs.50,000 Crores.

Naturally it will be wise to increase other 3 modes of power productionrather than the expensive & dangerous Nuclear Power. Isn't??

URANIUM

We used to import Uranium from various other countries. After thePokran 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 tothose rascals ? Will any one allow an outsider to continuously monitorwhat's happening in your Hall & Kitchen of your house? Other study reveals that Uranium is available in India aplenty. Only hurdle is theacquisition of land. To produce Atomic Power & Bomb in the next 40years, 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 thoserascals to restrict the usage of our natural resource ? That is though you are capable of cooking & eating 10 idlis as your breakfast, you areallowed only 3 idlis henceforth. How can it be? Why should we acceptthis?

THORIUMAs told by Dr.APJ, we have abundant Thorium. In fact we are the 2ndlargest producer of Thorium next only to Australia . India has to explore this further for producing power. For your information, inSouth India - particularly around Kanyakumari, the availability ofThorium 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 thesecan rule the Eastern Part of the Globe which USA wants to break as pertheir divide & rule. By signing this agreement, USA wants India to depend on it for producingpower which is going to be a crucial factor in future. There is a talkof 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 powerwithout spoiling the infrastructure and without allowing the radiationis 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 plantnearly 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 nextgeneration child are affected due to the radiation. It will be very very expensive to defuse & close down an Atomic PowerPlant than its construction cost. FranceFrance has got 56 Nuclear Power stations producing 73% of the country's total power requirement. They are catching up the problem ofeliminating the wastes / emissions from out of those plants at the sametime increase the power production capacity. Government of France is now thinking how to reduce the power consumption in the country.ConclusionIn view of the above danger, rather than signing the agreement andpledging India to USA , it will be prudent to increase the Solar & WindEnergy and more importantly Hyder Power Production can be increased by linking all rivers across India and by constructing DAMS. (Ofcourse Damconstruction projects can be given to L&T's B&F Sector:-)

The whole process of this Agreement started in the year 2005 whenManmohan visited USA . In a span of just 2 years a major decision ofsigning this agreement has taken place with political motive. On thecontrary, neither this Government nor any other earlier Central Government could not amend the Constitution thereby nationalise therivers across the country thereby effectively utilise the waterresources for both Agriculture purpose and producing Hydel Power. What an irony?

Whenever someone is helping the needy, you can't expect the TERMS ANDCONDITIONS BETWEEN THE needy and the helper to be EQUAL??? BUT

(1) the helper's ulterior motive should be seen with broad eye becausehe is capable of digging a grave behind you and
(2) better to be self-sufficient and explore new avenues with availableresources.

INDIA-CHINA-USA

India is very rich in Culture, follow Religions, Value Ethics, Level ofEducation is Very Good. China is also rich in Culture, follow Religion, better disciplined.USA does not have Culture, does not have Ethics, only want power overothers. Particularly wants a firm footing in South Asia . Remember theintroduction EURO by European Countries and it is stronger than Dollar? So their "DAL" cannot be boiled at " EUROPE ". They are trying in Indiaas already Pakistan is in their clutches.

Above is only a capsule of information. If you have a different opinion on this you are welcome..Lets discuss..!! lets try to know more and better on this issue coz it could turn around our future in either of the ways..!!

6th Crossing Over in DUBAI>>>!

noreply@blogger.com (Crazy Engineer) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 12:42:00 +0000

16 March 2008

DUBAI - The new Garhoud Bridge was officially inaugurated yesterday by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), giving the motorists a much needed breather.Shaikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, inaugurated the bridge which consists of 14 lanes, seven in each direction.He also gave the green signal for the construction of the 6th crossing over the Dubai Creek, which will be named Shaikh Rashid bin Saeed Crossing.

The implementation of this project is part of RTA strategy to keep pace with the urban growth and cater to the current and future requirements of development and demographic expansion through provision of roads network and advanced transport facilities.By opening the new Al Garhoud Bridge, the number of lanes crossing Dubai Creek rises from 19 to 48. The new lanes are added following the completion of the 13-lane Business Bay Crossing, the six-lane Floating Bridge, widening of Al Maktoum Bridge from 9 to 11 lanes and opening the 14-lanes Al Garhoud Bridge.

Engineers engaged in the New Garhoud Bridge project were confronted with three main challenges: the first was to work within a marine habitat, a matter which required temporary construction of the bridge over pads containing giant waterproof containers.The second was to provide two marine navigational lines to allow for ships and boats passage across the Creek.The third challenge was to fix 12-metre-high pillars supporting the bridge and casting them as one lot within 48 hours by adopting an advanced method to avoid cracks resulting from high temperature levels.

The RTA also screened a documentary on Shaikh Rashid bin Saeed Crossing, which is one of biggest projects undertaken by the RTA. The bridge links Al Jaddaf at Bur Dubai with the road separating the Lagoons project and Dubai Festival City. It provides entry and exit points for the Creek Island on which Opera building will be constructed.The project will be constructed over four years and contains eye-catching pillars and distinctive beautiful arches adding architectural marvel to the Crossing, as well as a three-metre-wide pedestrian walkway.
Shaikh Maktoum was also briefed about the new crossing which will consist of 12 lanes, 6 in each direction. The Bridge will be 1,600 metres long and 64 metres wide. The mega arch will rise 205 metres and will extend 667 metres. This will be the longest arched bridge in the world.

The bridge will rise 15 metres above the sea level enabling free navigation 24 hours a day. The Green Line of Dubai Metro will pass across the median of the bridge.Officials said that the Bridge will serve Dubai Healthcare City, Sama Al Jaddaf, and Culture Village at Bur Dubai, and Dubai Festival City, Lagoons Project, The Global City, and The Design Center at Deira.

HDIL CYBER CITY..!! @ Cochin

noreply@blogger.com (Crazy Engineer) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 11:44:00 +0000

Kerala Industry Minister Elamaram Kareem laid the foundation stone for the Rs 40-bn ‘Housing Development Infrastructure Limited Cyber City’ here yesterday even as Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan (pictured) kept off the occasion of the “most important” private sector investment in the state. Much is being read into the absence of the chief minister, especially in the wake of the allegation that Hindustan Machine Tools did not have the mandate to sell “lease-held” land to another party.

However, district collector Mohammed Haneesh clarified that HMT had full right on the land since it hadn’t been a leasehold property. The State Government had given 100 acres unconditionally to the central PSU in 2000. Brushing aside innuendos, Kareem said the project aimed at generating 60,000 direct and 150,000 indirect employment opportunities in the IT/ITES sectors.

He was upbeat, citing the raft of investments coming to the state, so far a laggard among the rest of the Indian States. Among projects on the anvil are Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone Authority’s SmartCity, Shobha Hi-Tech City, both in Kochi, and an integrated industrial complex to be set up by Malaysian company SIDP, in Kozhikode.

Thiruvananthapuram-based Kerala Hi-Tech Industries Ltd (KELTEC) had been taken over by BRAHMOS, which would facilitate the first defence production unit in Kerala. Another important development was the Petronet LNG Terminal project, which would be completed by 2011, providing the much-needed supplies for domestic and industrial use.

HDIL Chairman Rakesh Kumar Wadhawan said the Cyber City would be Kerala’s first integrated IT township, comprising IT/ITES companies, residential apartments and villas, schools, shopping malls, a multiplex, a club house, serviced apartments and a star hotel.
Kochi has been ranked as the second most favoured IT/ITES destination by National Association of Software and Service Companies. Top IT companies from the country and abroad planned to set up offices at Kochi here in the next three to five years.

Besides generating employment for the local youth, the project would yield more than Rs4.25bn for the state government by way of stamp and registration duty and employee welfare and village tax.

Wadhawan said a German desalination water plant and power backup systems would be put up as part of the cyber city. “We do not want Kochi to go the Bangalore way, where the original city and culture have been virtually killed by the IT industry,” he said.
HDIL director Ashok Gupta said 70 per cent of the cyber city would be earmarked for IT/ITES, while the balance would be used for other purposes. HDIL is one of the largest real estate development companies in India with a market capitalisation of nearly Rs250bn ($5bn).

Housing Development and Infrastructure Ltd (HDIL) develops a A Rs 4000 crore Cyber city project for the IT/ITES sector nearby Kalamassery, which will be Kerala's first integrated IT township.HDIL is one of the largest Real Estate Development companies in the country. The Cyber city, spread over a 70 acre land acquired from the Public sector Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT), will have besides IT/ITES, residential apartments, villas, schools, shopping malls, multiplex, club house, service apartments and a star hotel, Rakesh Kumar Wadhawan, chairman, HDIL, told reporters here.

This is HDIL's fourth such project in India. The project's foundation stone will be laid by Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan on January 19. Cybercity would provide 60,000 direct and 1,50,000 indirect job opportunities at Kochi and is expected to be completed over a four-year period.The HDIL cybercity will have a built up area of 80 lakh square feet and is the company's first flagship IT project in Kerala.The cybercity will be developed into various zones of residential, IT, Commercial, Hotel, Social and Infrastructure amenities, he said.

The project would generate a revenue of Rs 425 core to the state government by way of stamp and registration duty and Employee Welfare and Village tax. Lower cost for IT space, huge pool of talent and qualified manpower had made the company prefer Kochi to Bangalore and Hyderabad.

The search for a Mass Rapid Transport System (MRTPS) for Kerala’s booming commercial capital of Cochin is back to square one with the state government planning to shelve the metro rail project. The government had earlier dropped the skybus project mooted by the Konkan Railway Corporation (KRC) following doubts over its technical viability.

Govt of kerala has already taken steps to initiate the commissioning process for the implementation of metro rail project in Kochi City...

As we al know kochi is the stategic and commercial hub of kerala and a major tourism And IT/IIES destination.

After finding the feasibility study from DMRC, promising one Keral govt have invited the tenders for desighn, procure, finance, build, operate and maintain A smart kochi metro rail from eligible parties with finacial qualification and prior experience.

The proposed metro rail project will have a total lenght of 25.253 Kms from 'ALWAYE' to 'PETTA'. the two way metro line will have 21 stations and will be built on raised plat forms on pillars

The project was supposed to be accomplished in the year 2010. And as per the latest studies and reviews the authorities say that the project shall be completed within three years..The negotiations and discussions with the land, building owners has already been initiated..

The project is on the begining satge and it will be in active participation with Delhi metro rail coorporation.

17 Feb 2008

KOCHI, Kerala: Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) officials inspected the proposed route of the elevated metro rail project here and held discussions with the Ernakulam District Collector A P M Mohammed Hanish.
The team of officials of DMRC led by Chief Project Director Kumar Keshav and Executive Engineer B C Koshi inspected the proposed alignment from Aluva to Tripunithura, according to official sources here. DMRC will be the implementing agency and the project would cost approximately Rs 3,000 crore. The 25.3 km project will connect Aluva with Pettah near Tripunithura in the city and will pass through Kalamassery, Edapally, Madhava Pharmacy junction, M G Road, Ernakulam South and S A Road. After the discussion, Hanish said that DMRC officials had made it clear that they have no plan to change the present alignment. The financial matters in connection with the metro rail project was under the consideration of the Planning Commission, the sources said. Approximately 41 acres of land has to be acquired for the project along the route, which lies in seven villages. The district administration was expecting to complete the land acquisition process in seven months, the sources said.

19 FEB 2007 Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan visited the Delhi Metro on Monday and said the Kochi Metro Rail Project would be completed within four years and the mode of management would be decide upon after examining all options. The Chief Minister, who travelled in the Metro from Central Secretariat and back, was accompanied by E. Sreedharan, Managing Director of the DMRC. The journey that lasted an hour-and-a-half passed through Rajiv Chowk, Karol Bagh and Chawri Bazaar. Speaking to mediapersons, Mr. Achuthanandan said all opposition to the Kochi Metro Project would be firmly dealt with. Reiterating the benefits of having the Metro in Kochi, he said, it would reduce travelling time and allow commuters to escape traffic jams. He said while the State would rely on the expertise and experience of Mr. Sreedharan, funds for the construction would be sought from the Centre. Mr. Achuthanandan also said that introduction of suburban trains in Kochi, Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram were on the agenda and discussions with the railway authorities were under way.

Jan 06, 2006KOCHI: The Metro Rail project is expected to usher in a fresh pattern of travel for commuters in Kochi. The project, estimated to cost more than Rs.2,000 crores, is to be completed around 2010. As the cost involved is on the high, the project is to be taken up on Build Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis with Government participation.
A relevant question being raised by some experts is whether this mode of financing will be ideal for the project. The doubt is being raised in the wake of the experience after building a bridge at Mattancherry on BOT basis when the toll issue spiralled into intense opposition that cast a shadow on the very mode of finance.
The financing pattern for the Metro Rail project is unclear, said Dinesh Mani, former Mayor of Kochi. He expressed scepticism over the BOT system. "The BOT model that emerged out of the Mattancherry bridge has not been positive," he said. The cost escalation would require a close watch. Development projects should not turn out to be a burden for the people, he said. He also pointed out that three bridges of the Goshree project were completed with funds from a consortium of banks. Nevertheless he admitted that the State Government would not be in a position to raise funds for projects like Metro rail that require substantial investment.
Is the BOT system untouchable? Not at all, says V.J. Kurien, Managing Director of Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL). Referring to the Mattancherry bridge toll issue, he says: "It was an aberration." The opinion comes from the man who was keenly involved in the CIAL project right from its conception to raising funds and proved to the world that a major project could be taken up with people's financial support.
The Metro Rail project could be taken up on similar lines, but it needs dedication and a missionary zeal, Mr. Kurien said, recalling his experiences in the creation of CIAL. Significantly, the Government is the single largest investor in the CIAL. It is doubtful whether the Government would be able to finance a larger project like Metro Rail, he said. As the fare structure had already been projected in the present scheme, there is no cause for concern over escalation as had happened in the toll at Mattancherry, he said.
Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) Chairman Antony Isaac exuded confidence in executing the Metro Rail project on BOT basis. The full funding by the Government would be almost out of question. "Delay in executing the project as in the case of construction of dams will not be advisable," he said. He is confident that the project would generate good revenue.

DEC 05, 2006 'Kerala Govt has accepted DMRC report on metro rail' Kochi, Dec 5. (PTI): The Kerala Government has accepted the detailed project report of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) with regard to the proposed metro rail system in this city, a top official of the DMRC said here. In his keynote address at a function organised by the Kerala Chamber of Commerce and Industry here, DMRC Managing Director E Sreedharan said the Government had engaged DMRC on December 28, 2004 to carry out studies for the metro system. DMRC has already urged the Government to appoint a dedicated full time official on special duty to implement the project. "It was accepted by the Government and a decision on the matter is expected very soon, he said. He said, the report had had recommended a 'Light metro rail for Kochi' in the first phase from Aluva to Petta. Extension to Tripunithura could be considered after roads in the town were widened, he said. The advantages of a metro system are that it would meet transport demands now and in the future. "It is the fastest mode of urban transport with an average commercial speed of 40 kmph and comfortable, reliable and safe, with no pollution problems," he said. The total estimated cost at May 2005 prices, without taking into account the taxes and duties, was Rs 1966 crore. "On completion by the year 2010, it will be Rs 2239 crore, without taxes and duties," he added. Sreedharan said, the proposed system will have a total route length of 25.253 km, of which 24.078 km would be elevated. There will be 21 stations between Aluva and Thripunithura, he said. "The train coaches will be lightweight with a stainless steel body, fully air conditioned, vestibuled with pneumatic suspension," he said. Initially it would be a three coach train, which could later be increased to a six coach train. Maximum speed will be 90 kmph and the average, 40 kmph, including stoppages. On funding for the Kochi light metro, the BOT (Build, Operate, Transfer) model has been recommended, he said. The State Government had engaged DMRC as prime consultant to execute the project. Expression of Interest has already been called for and three concessionists have been shortlisted, he said. Tenders for the project would soon be floated, he added.

Dec:22, 2004

The Kerala government on Wednesday approved a proposal to develop a light metro rail system for Kochi and decided to entrust the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation with the work of drawing up a Detailed Project Report (DPR).
Though the specifics of the project would be known only when the DPR is completed, the system is expected to cost roughly about Rs 2,000 crore, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy told reporters after a cabinet meeting. The cost of preparing the DPR itself has been pegged at Rs 75 lakh.
The metro rail is meant to ease traffic congestion in Kerala's commercial hub. It would cover a distance of about 35km with 27 stations in between.
The surface-level metro system is to be developed on Build-Own-Transfer basis. Work is expected to begin in 2005 and be completed in 2010.The government had held several rounds of discussions with experts on what would best suit Kochi - a metro rail or a sky-bus system – before opting for the former.

Dubai's Internet City will set up the Smart City in Kochi, Kerala. Kerala government announced that they received the letter saying they have decided to set up the Smart City at Kochi. Several states like Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu were after the the Dubai Internet City for the project, and finally Kerala bagged the project.The total project cost would be Rs.15 billion and they would bring in the whole investment. To start with, Kerala government is providing them 200 acres of land in Kakkanadu, near the Kochi Infopark.The smart city will need around 1,000 acres of land when it reaches the final stages of the proejct.The Smart City, expected to create more than 100,000 new jobs in the first stage and around 5 Lakhs jobs directly and indirectly in the last stage, would provide critical infrastructure for IT services and IT-enabled service companies.Dubai Internet City officials visited Kerala during November 2004 to inspect the land and infrastructure proposed by Kerala government. Kerala government already has 200 acres of land in it's posession and the rest will be acquired soon.The smart city gives a great opportunity for Kerala to compete with Karnataka and Tamilnadu in Information Technology and other ITES.

ISS Sannidanandan Eliminated..!!

noreply@blogger.com (Crazy Engineer) — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 07:02:00 +0000

Finally Asianet idea star singer forced to eliminate Sannidanandandan the Idea Star singer fame as its been realised he cant be that competent with other contestants in the quarter and semi finals coming up..,In fact the asianet themselves had agreed that It was the numerous number of SMS's he recieve in the format ISS ..Space.. Sanni...So Asianet just announced the elimination of Sannidanandan..

But the disputes on his name are not ending here...The music director and the One of the popular Judge In ISS famous because of his SANGATHY( or Samgathy) Sarath was saying that before the elimination Sanni was saying that he wanted to quit. His point was that he has only limited talent and and he didnt wanted to blow away the chance of any of his competing good singers and performars. So it was sure that he really had realized that how he survived is just because of the SMS. not the quality of perfomance, voice or perfection in singing..

Thanks to all jobless old aunties for wasting their time and money sending sms...
really hats off to you aunties..im sorry to say this but I am sure noone other than you could send that much sms on that format being fond of worship and bhajans eventhough they are out of track....

The good thing is there came some people to prize him personally...Nearly he got two hundred and twenty five thousand rupees...

I was wondering why these pople cant use this money for the education of some poor children or offer a bread loaf..

Rally people are going crazy and mad day by day...when will all these come to and..who can guide the human with a proper directional advise...

we have to wait and see...

good luck..

$$...jobs/Employment in Smartcity....!!!: Jobs in kerala smart city kochi (Cochin)

Rush your resume..

Smart city is going to be one of the prestegeous projects in kerala and supposed to be emerged as the techno hub for the gods own country..

vallarpadam container terminal is another promising project..Land aquisition procedures are already been initaiated..Multibillion dollars are being invested in real estate and propery..!!
US bussiness giants are glaring their eyes to cochin..Dubai internet city and DP world will be the ones who reaps most of the developmental benefits in kochi as they ghave already invested in lots of projects there including smart city and container terminal./.

But the question is will our educated youth be able to grab the employment opportunities in all these developments..The answer is YES..unless the govt brings the labours and workers from outside northern states..

You know why.. the attitude of the trade unions is a big question mark..it surprises the multinational organisations , how eager our trade unios are to find a reason for a strike every day..!!Our keralite skilled and unskilled workers and labours have to change thier attitude quite a bit..over these period of globalisation..unless their destiney could be un employment and poverty..

so if you want to survive just be care full...proactive..anticipate..otherwise you(we) will suffer..!!

Ideas star singer Elimination, the new Drama

noreply@blogger.com (Crazy Engineer) — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 08:27:00 +0000

This is for all the viewers of the most controversial program of Asianet known as Idea Star Singer Most of you might have thinking what is really happening in ISS? Always good singers are getting eliminated and the worst ever singer like .... Hesham,vani,sanni and the ever worst nasal singer VIJAY are safe always… It's a real facts that 3 out of these contestants are very much related to Asianet and the last one Sanni is there just as the voting machine of ISS. New Elimination : VARUN, NITHN For saving some of the favourite contestants ISS started ranking system-first 5 members in each round will not get eliminated even they don't have any sms!!!You can see that VIJAY is the number 1...what a stupid judgment.. Let us take the example of Vijay. As all of u know that he don't have any sound clarity, but judges always praise him for his"good voice"..real drama starts here.

Many of you may not aware about the relations between Vijay and Asianet. His own sister is an anchor of Asianet. Also his cousin sister is an anchor in Asianet plus. They got some good influence in ISS crews and producers. The same producer of ISS produced some programs which were anchored by his sister. Another one is the dramatically elimination of the viewers favourite contestant VARUN J THILAK..All may be aware that he is the ultimate singer in ISS. But by playing a cheap drama he also got eliminated yesterday…what a stupid action.. Another one was the elimination of Krishnajith.even K.S.Chithra raised voice against his elimination. He was not in the list till the previous day of shooting. On the shooting day our great MG changed the list with the help pf sarath and eliminated Krishnajith. Also, very good singers like sudarsan, murali ramanadhan, etc.., are already out of hte competetion and the ultimate winner will be Asianet only, the benefit they get from SMS and sponsors, so stop sending SMS and stop advertising in this program, coz people how know the backstage hate this program now. In an interview our ever favorite K.J.Yesudas mentioned that " I don't know why asianet is taking more than a year to find the good singer-why they are stretching like this?"

By seeing all these dramas now the support of Asianet and ISS is rocketing downwards.They were getting about 40,000 sms votes before these dramas came out. But now they are getting about 15,000 sms votes onl.So dear friends please don't support ISS in any forms…Let us pledge that we wont sent any more sms to ISS and Asianet.. Please forward this mail to all your friends to raise our voice. let us show that Malayalees are not fools… dear friends, reason why varun quit the show......... once during a shooting renjini asked varun 'orupadu girl friends kanumalllo' ennnu...varun replied tellling no.....our MG gave a commment..."achante monallle illathirikkumo' ennu......unfortunately varuns parents were there...his mom started crying there...they stoppped the shooting and continued....later in the green rooom sharath made a sarcastic laugh and told Mg 'MG annna athenikku ishtapetttu....ennu.....so alll others including renjini started laughing.....varun retaliated tellling 'enikku ottum ishtappettilla...if u have to tell me something tell at me...don drag my parents in between '...ennnu..... so there starts the story.....after that incident varun was humiliated sooo much.......

the poooja of the movie "star singer' was conducted...all famous people were there....viji thampi,6 music directors,suresh gopi all 10 contestants who were part of that movie and also the parents.....sureshgopi told varun 'varunte shabdham enikku nallla ishtam...nallla consistency ullla voice' ennu.....sharath paranju ' athey nalla consistency pakshe oru improvementum illla' ennu in front of alll...........he didnt realise he is killing the chances for varun.... didi knew alll this toook varun to sharath and they talked...sharath told 'enikkonnumariyillla' ennnu..........that happened the day before the shooting of his song where everybody enquired about the mood of him......he was crying the whole day before shooting...... and day before yesterday the day before elimination.......all the 14 contestants were asked to sign a contract...it says that 14 of them wiillll not sign any movie,TV or stage shows tilll 1 year on completion of ISS...ie apprx 1 1/2 yrs from now.....many protested....but ellavareyum avar sign iduipichu......people like roshan and nithin were hesitant....but lastly they signed...also vani n tushar....any way somehow they were made to sign....varun told me 'chetta...enne ee roudil illenkil adutha elims il theerchayittum thattum....why shuld i sign such a thing and wait for 1 1/2 yrs' ennu............

Another one

Varun is not eliminated from the show!!!!!!he himself quit the ISS....this is what happened.... News from the true source...varun"s own father.....SBT Manager of Parippally branch... As usual...he went for the elimination round...he got the most SMS...So he cannot be eliminatd...So ISS got a new idea to eliminate him!!!What is that?ISS asked all the 14 contestant...whether they are INN or OUT to sign an agreement for 18 months that they won't sing in any other channels,albums,film songs...etc... varun called his father for opinion.....father advised him...any way you will be out in the next round....then why you want to stick on again in asianet...?so varun just went out....now today i know they will show like that Varun was not presented for the show...so they are forced to eliminate HIM!!!! What an IDEA ashanai!!!!THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN ISS ON SATURDAY.....

NB:This was an email circulated on the web. Jibiwilson.blogspot.com doesnt bear any responsiblity of the truithfullnes of the concerned information. and this information is on for public intrest and is not intended to influence on Asianets goodwill on the show.

noreply@blogger.com (Crazy Engineer) — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 11:41:00 +0000

You Know In the mistery of internet the information is the most preciuos thing ever.....There I have seen many posts describing the names of some proxies that can tunnel out the blocking system the authorities have. But what if the system is such perfect inorder to block every proxies that join the net every day.....In that case NOone cant really depend on a particular proxy for the tunnelling and access any of the blocked websites..

The only one way is to buy any software that can change your ip adress and feel the servers which mointors you about your browsing content,The type of images that you are watching and the keywords that you are searching for.....

That software can change your ip just making an impression that you are just a web browser somewhere away from the region and you are done to view whatever you want to..But the question is where you get that software...Im sure that no common user is going to purchase such a software unless if he is convinced by other satisfied customers on the web..but if this kinda software is free to download on net... is'nt it exciting ....?

the steps to access any blocked sites are just described...

1)''type the key word ANCHORFREE in the google search tab on this website..''

2) click the first search result for downloading 'hotspotshield'

3)Click to download

4) Install Anchor free hotspot shield.

5) Run vpn tray.( hot spot shield)

6) Wait Untill pulling connections and Assigning Ip address and get connected.

7) After you are connected Type any websites on your URL bar...

thats it..

you are in....

this One million Dollar worth information is now for public...!! make use of it...

This is a real story of a young college girl who passed away last month in Chandigarh . Her name was Priya. She was hit by a truck. She is working in a call centre. She has a boy friend named Shankar. Both of them are true lovers. They always hang on the phone.You can never see her without her hand phone. In fact she also changed her phone from Airtel to Hutch, so both of them can be on the same network, and save on the cost.

She spends half of the day talking with shankar. Priya's family knows about their relationship. Shankar is very close with Priya's family. (just imagine their love) . Before she passed away she always told her friends 'If I pass away please burn me with my handphone' she also said the same thing to her parents.

After her death, people couldn't carry her body, I was there. A lot of them tried to do so but still cant , everybody including me, had tried to carry the body, the result is still the same. Eventually, they called a person who know to one of their neighbours, who can speak with the soul of dead person, who is a friend of her father. He took a stick and started speaking to himself slowly.

After a few minutes, he said 'this girl misses something here.' Then herfriends told that person about her intentions to burn her with her phone.He then opened the grave box and place her phone and sim card inside thecasket. After that they tried to carry the body. It could be moved andthey carried it into the van easily. All of us were shocked. Priya's parents did not inform Shankar that Priya had passed away.

After 2 weeks Shankar called Priya's mom..... Shankar :....'Aunty, I'm coming home today. Cook something nice for me. Dont tell Priya that I'm coming home today, I wanna surprise her.Her mother replied..... 'You come home first, I wanna tell you something very important.' After he came, they told him the truth about Priya.Shankar thinks that they were playing a fool. He was laughing and said 'dont try to fool me - tell Priya to come out, i have a gift for her. Please stop this nonsense'.Then they show him the original death certificate to him.They gave him proof to make him believe. (Shankar Started to sweat) He said... 'Its not true. We spoke yesterday. She still calls me. Shankar was shaking. Suddenly, Shankar's phone rang. 'see this is from Priya, see this....he showed the phone to priya's family. all of them told him to answer. he talked using the loudspeaker mode. All of them heard his conversation. Loud and clear, no cross lines, no humming.It is the actual voice of Priya & there is no way others could use her sim card since it is nailed.Inside the grave box they were so shocked and asked for the same person's who can speak with the soul of deal perosns) help again. He brought his master to solve this matter. He & his master worked for 5 hours.Then they discovered one thing which really shocked them.
