First of all let us get one thing clear. The best site (superior technology) for watching videos on the Internet is YouTube. The slowest speed which YouTube supports is 240 Kbps. If your connection is below that (the connection feeds below 240 Kbps to your computer i.e. download rate) be ready ready for lots of buffering. Anyway, here are some simple tricks that will help in watching videos

The Bharatiya Janata Party is in a bad way. It had only a handful of well-read intellectual men. And it is losing them. The sidelining of Yashwant Sinha, the expulsion of Jaswant Singh, the 'resignation' of Sudheendra Kulkarni has weakened it. Not that there are no educated folks left in the BJP. But the problem is that these are men and women with a narrow Hindu vision for India. No leader with

What are the signs and symptoms of this virus in people?The symptoms of novel H1N1 flu virus in people include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.

"We need to work out a public-private partnership between the hospitals to tackle the flu. We need to take the people, doctors and media into confidence so panic does not spread,"-- Indian Minister of State for health, Dinesh Trivedi"The virus is still around and ready to explode. We're potentially looking at a very big mess."-- William Schaffner, an influenza expert at the Vanderbilt University

The Indian Prime Minister cracked the auspicious coconut on the hull of the country's first made-in-India nuclear submarine.The occasion gives us many reasons to pat ourselves on the back. Firstly, of course, is that we made nuclear submarine ourselves. Also, a nuclear submarine can stay underground and sail on for many thousand miles without the need of refuelling. Thus it can go into action

"For filling up 344 jobs, 4800 people turn up"This might sound like a newspaper headline in an Indian newspaper in the bad old days of pre-liberalised India.It is not. It is a news item carried by the Indian Express on 31st July, 2009.And the 344 vacancies are not for a high paying job but for porters for Allahabad railway station.Among the hopefuls were 27 women. One is pregnant. Another is a MA

I am seeing the effects of global warming here in Saurashtra ( a region in Gujarat). That is where I have been living for the last few years. And I am seeing climate change.Saurashtra is supposed to be a dry arid area. The average rainfall is about 18-20 inches annually. Seeing the rainfall statistics for Rajkot for the last 35 years I see in many years the rainfall has been 7 inches. The pattern

The Indian middle class are like the Chinese. They love Chinese food. And they are so busy running after money that they have given up their political rights. Even on voting day they go off on a picnic.The country has been left to politicians. And they have screwed it up. Indian politics hit a new low when the illustrious daughter-in-law of H.N.

They say capitalism is the best system of all. Oh no! It is as screwed as the rest. Only that it the only one standing. Communism collapsed two decades ago. Rule by the Church proved itself to be lousy centuries ago.Coming back to capitalism. A system that makes a man a wreck cannot be good. I talk of Michael Jackson. He had real talent. But he was corrupted by the money. His music suffered first

The monsoons are playing truant again and the people and government are worried. The met department had predicted a normal monsoon this year in April. The reality is that rains are deficient by as much as 35% in North West India. In an Alistair Maclean novel (it was Guns of Navarone, if I recollect correctly) the weathermen have been described as the "jokers". Wonder how the Indian met department

Is it stupid to be sensitive in today's world? The conclusion I am hastily reaching is yes. It is unwise to be sensitive. People like me have no choice. We are born sensitive. Emotional. Kind. Empathetic. We can't change. I can't change. I am that way.And I am suffering because of that. Being sensitive 'weakens' you. It makes it difficult for you to be selfish and cruel. And to achieve anything

The image of Australia as a student's paradise has taking a severe beating with the recent reported attacks on Indian students. Other things apart, Australia cannot afford to let the attacks continue. Indians constitute half of the foreign students in the country. The Australian international education business is estimated to be at 15 billion dollars.No wonder the Rudd government is bending

Pakistan army chief Gen. Kayani was worried. He had called Gen. Mushtaq, the head of the dirty tricks department of the ISI.Kayani was exasperated with Mushtaq. He was the chief of the army but even he did not know what the ISI was up to.But the Taliban creeping into Buner had him worried and so he called Mushtaq for a meeting."What on earth is going on in Swat?, Kayani demanded indignantly."

While Josef Fritzl was convicted, another case hit the headlines; this one from Mumbai in India. Kishore Chauhan raped his daughter for nine years because a mumbo-jumbo godman told him that this would bring him prosperity. But this case differs from Fritzl's in the sense that there was a wife who egged the husband to rape their daughter. Anjana Chauhan had been having sexual relations with Rathod

Agreed abortion is a dicey question in the US. The policy on US governmental aid to international agencies who do or inform about abortion has see-sawed between the Republican "nos" by Reagan and Bush on the one side and the emphatic "yes" by Democratic presidents like Clinton. Obama is only following the Democrats' tradition.But note one thing. The opposition to abortion is not so obvious as it
