how resilient we indians are?

shubham_utsav — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 06:38:18 -0400

it's just a simple question to every individual but first i would like to place a few instances in front of you:

1. how many of us remember the 350 crore rupees corruption in case of the 12 helicopters bought by the indian government from Italian company Finmeccanica. the last we heard was about the pime suspect Mr Tyagi, what happened to it ??

2. what happened to the convicts of Nribhaya's rape case which was declared as rarest of the rare case, as per my knowledge one of them was considered as a juvenile, the other committed suicide and the case is ongoing on the rest 4 of them. if this is the the progress report of such a high profile case in a fast track court, what more can we expect from the Indian judiciary.

these are the two very important issues which have been nothing but imprinted as history.

we tend to blame the system, the society, the government but the question is " ARE WE NOT RESILIENT TO THESE INCIDENCES " ?

Engineering in India !

Mmrityunjay — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 23:55:09 -0400

Engineering ! Engineering ! and Engineering !
There was a day when B.Sc was taken as a simple graduation course and engineers were at a hike. But by the course of time things changed and now engineering is getting down to a graduation course. People are getting in to diverse fields after their engineering. The reason may be
1. Shortage of engineering jobs,
2. The education they are getting are not up to the level in this competing world,
3. Or Graduates have started following their passions & interests rather than running behind a conventional crowd.
As an engineering student I personally feel that all the three points are reasonable for the issue .
But the strength of No.1 & No. 2 reason is pretty high than the No.3 . The third point literally shows the evolution and really a sign of improvement. But first and second points need to be settled down.
So let's take 1st point. Why shortage happened ?
The answer is so simple. The rate of new jobs introduced in to market is very low in comparison with production of new engineers in India.
Secondly the colleges are more concerned about Business and Status of college rather than focusing on quality of teaching and other inputs.
Private Colleges/Universities are taking extra students beyond their intake capacity ( especially through donation quota ). So here arises a situation of sharing. Students have to share everything from benches to lab apparatus. So definitely the quality has to go down.
Another issue with engineering in India is it's syllabus, education system, poor faculties, infrastructure and of course the governing bodies. If you go deep you will see the engineering education system/syllabus in India is much more theory based. Improvement of practical knowledge are not addressed in colleges. This is one of the vital reason that we are incapable of producing quality engineers. If we take the scene of faculties in engineering colleges then we may observe that these are by products of failed education system. Except a few, maximum teaching faculties are inexperienced with inadequate qualifications. Many students join the same college where they graduated from as faculty after their engineering just because not getting any other job. So they are in the teaching profession not by choice. So how a person could execute efficiently when he/she is not made for it ? Here we can't blame the students and can't question their capabilities. Of course they are way capable of bringing dreams in to realities. But the question is " How did they fail to do so ? " and the bitter fact is they are even doing the same with the fresh students. The good students easily get a quality job of his/her choice after the course.And very few among them choose education field as profession. So a lot of vacancy floats in this field and someone has to take these places. Hence the students poor in studies have to fill these places no matter what their aim or goal is ! In this scenario the rate of opening of new Engineering colleges/universities in India needs to make a halt. Lately but everybody is getting these facts and a good decision has been taken by AICTE that not to approve new
engineering colleges from the academic year 2013-14 after being inundated on
demands from several State Governments.
But still we have a lot of existing problems to repair...
So, what we could do to rectify the system ? Where should we start from ?

Aamir Khan in Talaash vs Satyamev Jayate

Harleen — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 07:08:14 -0500

Aamir khan in Satyamev Jayate on one hand advocated against age old in-human illogical customs and social beliefs and on the other hand worked in a movie that roots for the existence of the supernatural. The entire structure of our social framework is fuelled by the existence of the supernatural and he actually conveyed to the audience that he believes in ghosts.

Aamir khan is known to choose his movies intelligently because of his social standing. I'm confused now about his intention behind doing Talaash.

Do marks really matter?

ashi05 — Sun, 05 Aug 2012 08:06:56 -0400

Should the youth join politics

Daphne — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 04:55:16 -0500

With so many reports on politicians corrupting our country and the youth sitting and critisizing, shouldn't we make a difference by joining politics and strive for something good for this country, Afterall no matter how much we, the youth's opinion is taken or put into force, there still seems no involvement done except voting.

The Hindu's recent advertisement about India to behave itself the youth is watching, with this generation knowing every possible should initiate to change divert this behavior. The earlier generation's behavior cannot be changed, it is drilled in the. We instead are flexible in thinking, behavior and mannerisms, thus it is possible for us to bring about a change in the democracy of the country.

Revolutionary & Affordable Business Site That Will Make BUSINESS DREAMS Come True Of A Lot Of People

payaled — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 03:41:52 -0500

While surfing the net the other day, fed up of my professional failures and not having a clue as to how to get into a business that I had been eyeing for years, I came across this business website www.bizitiz.com (I love this name) which I found to be based on a revolutionary concept and will change lives of a lot of people who really do not know how to make their business dreams come true.

1. INVESTMENTS: Entrepreneurs who have a business plan in mind often are unable to fund their own business ventures and there are investors across the world, which are constantly on the lookout for potent business plans. This is a meeting platform for such entrepreneurs and investors where they can openly communicate with each other and reach to a mutual business arrangement amongst them.

2. COMMISSIONS: We all know that every business in this world basically revolves around commissions from sales or services. That’s the basic fundamental of every business. Bizitiz.com offers people to get into a commission based business association between business associates and business owners from across the world. Appointing business associates results in the sales graph steeping upwards and the business associates earn a handsome commission for bringing business, with no investment whatsoever.

3. MERGER & ACQUISITION: A scary financial term which we hear a lot in the movies, but www.bizitiz.com has presented this in a very subtle manner. Established businesses are put for sale daily and across the world. But getting the proper worth of it is a rather herculean task for the owners. This platform provides established business owners to put up their businesses for sale and get a global exposure of their posting. Business Buyers are browsing all the time, looking to buy out potential businesses and are ready to pay a handsome price for it. Therefore it is definitely worthwhile to put up your business details here as it costs almost nothing for it.

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SALE & PURCHASE: This is where www.bizitiz.com gets extremely interesting. Patents, trademarks, copyrights or simply business ideas can be sold through this portal to buyers who are looking for it from across the world. Patents, trademarks etc qualify as intellectual property of a person and indeed is as precious, if not more, than real estate. Earn Royalties for generations to come.

FREE POSTINGS & WHAT TO INCLUDE: The postings on www.bizitiz.com are totally FREE and you can create all your posts and let the whole world see it for FREE. The subscription or the payment is required only to establish contact or to allow people to approach you. The most ultimate part of creating a post is that you can add a YOUTUBE VIDEO, you can upload ATTACHMENTS, you can upload RESUME, you can share your WEB URL or any other information that you may wish to share. Inbuilt Youtube player runs very effectively and shows your creations to others in a very slick look.

NO COMMISSIONS: The most amazing part that the creator of the platform has come up with is that there are no commissions charged for any association that are formed through www.bizitiz.com, which is very unlike most of the financial services website where the commissions range from 2% – 10% of the amount funded, which can really be a huge setback for the entrepreneurs.

AMAZINGLY, YOU CAN EARN TOO: Another superb idea that the founder of www.bizitiz.com has come up with is the opportunity for professionals to earn side income. They have very nicely broken this category down into 3 different fields – Business Planning, Company Formation & Background Check. You are even allowed to quote your own fee for your consultancy and these experts are totally freelance, which means, there are no commissions payable towww.bizitiz.com for any consultancy done or fee charged. Any of the registered users can approach the experts seeking his assistance and make an independent association with him. This is really cool..!!

ROCK BOTTOM COSTING: The costing of these services offered on the website is simply unbelievable. They are so affordable and are low as INR 15/- per day which is really in line with their title – Bringing Business Opportunities At Your Doorstep. Now this is something which even a common man can afford in order to try and get into a fruitful business association

CONCLUDING REMARK: Finally, I must say that I am really impressed with the concept that the founder of www.bizitiz.com has come up with. This website is really going to give way to people’s business aspirations and hopefully, it will make this world A LUCARATIVE PLACE TO LIVE… I am impressed Mr Rajat Duneja (Founder).. you have done brilliant work.

what do you say about the attendance bug in DU?

Humanitarian30 — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 01:53:06 -0500

I think DU has taken wrong step towards attendance. If attendance is not upto 67%, then the person is liable to be detained. What about the students future? You've just spoiled one year of a student without knowing his/her circumstances. How much it's important for them to graduate early as possible.

'The Sporting Spirit'

Likitha — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 07:38:53 -0500

People say that sports, especially international sports, bring about goodwill among nations. How true is this? Today, sports have become so competitive! Countries like India and Pakistan, England and New Zealand, India and Burma, are concrete examples that international sports are almost like battle-fields. If there is a cricket match between India and Pakistan, how many of us will be awaiting it as a sport and how many of us will be looking at it as another Indo-Pak war? Are international sports tests of national virtue?

Praising God at all times

chris_2012 — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 03:50:43 -0500

‘I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth.’ (Bible) God is worthy to be praised as he has done mighty things in the world. The worlds were framed by the word of God. The winds and the lightning bolts of thunderstorms are the agents of God’s purposes. The orderly cycles of the life on earth, which are governed by the moon and sun, are all God’s creations and his design. God has placed boundaries so that the seas or other water bodies may not overflow into the land. Man is God’s special creation who has been made in his own image to praise and worship him. When God takes away man’s breath, he dies and returns to the dust. He giveth food to the hungry and raiseth up those who are bowed down. God is near to all those who call upon him and he heals the brokenhearted. He is alpha and omega, the beginning and the end of everything. He is the omnipotent, omnipresent and Almighty God who is our peace, our provider, our victory and our healer. He designed the human body and put breath into it. He created plants, animals, birds and fishes for man, to feed and sustain him. The Bible says that ‘let everything that has breath praise the Lord’. So lets take time to praise our creator and father each day.

what is a more serious crime - Rape or Abortion?

prolife — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 23:13:10 -0500

The violence of abortion parallels the violence of rape.
One woman says, “When a woman exercises her right to control her own body in total disregard of the body of another human being, it is called abortion. When a man acts out the same philosophy, it is called rape.

Rape is so horrible that we easily transfer our horror to the wrong object. We must not impose the ugliness of rape or incest upon either the innocent woman or the innocent child. The woman is not “spoiled goods”-she is not goods at all but a precious human being with value and dignity that not even the vilest act can take from her. Likewise, the child is not a cancer to be removed but a living human being.

What does FREEDOM mean to you?

lodha_mridang — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:07:06 -0500

Well Freedom is probably the most disturbing as well as comforting issue to most youngsters, irrespective of which region, sex, caste or class they belong to. Conflicts rise in demand of freedom, and are settled easily by providing one. But the most difficult aspect is who defines freedom? I might believe that the freedom of speech is important, other might feel the freedom to choose your life partner should be given, whereas some others still might believe that freedom to drink and smoke is essential. So lets get to know how versatile freedom can be and WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU! Don't restrict yourself! Be Free!

Should there be restriction on Facebook, Twitter and blogs?

anshultewari — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 10:53:02 -0500

The High Court today told Facebook and Twitter to comply with rules of removing inflammatory content. Do you think the restriction is a fair move?

I am the way, the truth and the life

chris_2012 — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 07:03:43 -0500

‘'I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man commeth unto the Father but by me''

This was a pivotal piece of teaching bequeathed by the Master Jesus when He walked your earth plane, yet no man truly understood its meaning. Man was not sufficiently ready to receive this truth then and is scarcely ready to receive it now. Yet it is significant that during these auspicious times when the planet is about to enter a new cycle of life where dimensions anew are to be experienced and earned, man must awaken to a higher understanding of himself and he can only do so if he understands Me. Milestones have been achieved by mortals in terms of advancement, yet spiritually they fail to attune themselves to a great truth that if understood could change the tenor of their existence and path of soul evolution. I come again this day to effort to explain this simple yet understated Truth.

I am the Way means that I am your ticket to a new destination. The ticket is only dispensed when a choice is knowingly made. You must choose Me through belief and active seeking and you will be given directions that will enable you to plot the coordinates that shall keep you on the path as you create an enduring alliance with Me. When you are able to make this choice you will clearly see that I Am the Way out of the illusion of mortality into the reality of immortality.

So we have primarily established that I Am the Way to eternal life. Yet eternal life can only be guaranteed for those who can find and free their inner God presence. It is I who shall direct you ones on the course that you must adopt to achieve this feat for first you must know Me before you can know yourself and be inclined to liberate that which is divine within you.

I would like to explore with you a different perspective of what it means when I say 'I AM the ‘'Way'.' The ‘'Way'' cannot be separated from the ‘'Light'' as the light brings clarity of purpose and engenders a clear path to the destiny of choice. The ‘'Way and the ‘'Light'' therefore go hand in hand. I say that the Way is the Light and I am the Way and therefore the Light.

Yet another perspective of the ‘'Way'' shall I offer to you. Did I not birth my creation from love, being the reason and root cause? Did I not create by way of electric light waves of motion from the stillness of my mind? Is it therefore not true to say that stillness motivated by love to create by light is the ‘'Way''? Can you therefore not see that the ‘'Way'' is Love and Light and that when you choose Me you choose Love and Light? If Love and Light is the foundation of your earthly journey you will have found the ‘'Way''.

Did I not think my creation into being? Am I therefore not within my creation? Is the ultimate goal not to return to Source? If I am my creation and within my creation then the only way back to the Source is through Me. Does this make sense to you ones who need to rationalize ME?

I AM the Way, I AM the Light and I AM the Love manifested in my creation. I created from a point of stillness through Light motion. Does this not mean that if you choose the ‘'Way'' you too can create all which you desire to create? The ‘'Way'' enables you to reflect and be all that the ‘'Way'' is for are you not also the ‘'Way'' through Oneness with Me? The Way you shall become when you find and know Me.

I AM the Truth.

Man fights amongst himself seeking to have his truth rendered as superior to another. Yet hardly do men know what Truth is. You cannot know Truth unless you know Me- The ‘'Way''. For the ‘'Way'' shall always lead to the Truth. Man has belittled the Truth by tainting it with his personal agendas. The Truth is never influenced. It is impartial. It is inexplicable and beyond rationalization. The Truth must be known and that knowledge comes from knowing Me. Man's truth mostly is generated by that which is external, seldom reconcilable with his inner knowing and void of inner validation.

The TRUTH JUST IS AND IS JUST. That which is Truth knows only balance. It is as still, steadfast and immutable as the Creator. There lies no mystery or magic in Truth. I can say no more except to remind you that Truth emanates from within you because its origin is divine.

When you choose the ‘'Way'', you choose the Truth and it is the Truth when known and accepted that shall lead you to attain the divine promise of eternal life. For at this point in your understanding you shall accept without hesitation that I AM THE LIFE, that which is eternal and so shall you be also when you can know this.

Beloveds the life I speak of is not of mortal orientation. It is life immortal to which I refer. Life resides only in the spirit not the flesh. The spirit is All- its longevity is guaranteed by the promise of eternal life. Yet eternal life is always a choice as much as a gift/promise. For I will never force my children to choose Me; they must freely make this choice. I can say to you that many have chosen to be uncreated instead of choosing Life. I wish to emphasize that even in your sphere of reality which is earth plane, you are eternal. Mortal death is merely a transition to allow the soul to take stock in order to determine the next level of experience needed along its ascending path.

You on earth during your incarnation must understand that your life on earth does not give you the freedom to do that which you please without being accountable or responsible. You do not, contrary to popular belief have one life to live. When you can understand that I am the Life and so too are you, then you will realize in your incarnation that what you do will always impact on the evolution of your immortal soul.

racial harassment of indians in abroad

arnab — Sun, 09 Sep 2012 06:03:08 -0400

today , 9th september 2012,sunday, there is a news in anandbazar, the leading newspaper of india. the news is that priyanka chpra, the famous bollywood actress was called "browny" by a white student while she was studying in boston. this is a sort of insult almost regularly done to indian students studying abroad. the result is an obvious fight between priyanka and the white student. and the most unjust consequence was that priyanka, the victim of the harassment was suspended instead of white student. before priyanka, aishwariya rai, another bollywood starlet and miss universe was also insulted by white people.

now the question is why such harassment? is it the obvious consequence of studying abroad? before, in sydney, australia, angry white mob broke loose on innocent indian students. nobody was punished for that. killing indians is a regular phenomenon in the US and nobody was punished for that. what these white people think ? they are the lord of the world and rest are nothing ? although american govt. and its paid media always barked about liberal views but they just want to suppress this reality. it seems as if we have done a big crime by going to their country for study.

or is it that we undervalue ourselves? we think that india cannot provide for better education and life.so lets go to abroad. there you have everything. is it so? is it right? while looking at the real world i don't think this is the case. the way we indians are treated there clearly shows that we are wrong. we never offend any foreign visitors who visit india. have we ever? our understanding and culture, i think, as it appears from reality, is far more superior than theirs. then why should we go to their hellish country? just to be offended? i think we should create a heaven in india rather than looking for heaven elsewhere.

these are my views and opinions.

i would invite others to share their views on it.

It has after all no effect on a third person but it is socially as well as legally unacceptable while all these wrong things are socially acceptable can't we ever change?will the nation always be a hostage of the conservationists,fundamentalists and chauvinists?

Semester System and the University of Delhi

mridanglodha — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:35:36 -0400

The University of Delhi has changed the way its courses used to function. The semesters have been implemented in almost all the courses, however the acceptance has been low for a lot of reason. Do you think the Delhi university should change to a semester system? Why/Why not? And if at all yes, how should be the transition handled?

Should acid attack victims have seperate laws?

mayanksehgal — Sat, 24 Nov 2012 00:13:12 -0500

The land where there are numerous female goddesses .According to Thomas Reuters Foundation 's survey India is the fourth most dangerous place in the world for women. When I read this in Wikipedia I didn't felt strange. From childhood we see women are treated as secondary citizens.There are countless of times when a mother send his boy to look after his sister when she is stepping out from home in fear that something will happen to her daughter and then we hear news like acid attacks
which mentally freeze us. Here are some images of acid attack victims. Some of you will find these images as inhuman but do remember this was done by humans.

Now I will tell you 2 such cases of victims and you decide whether the full justice was given and whether there should be a separate law or not.

Case 1. Archana Kumari

Archana Kumari from Uttar Pradesh daughter of uneducated laborers , is victim of acid attack .She was returning home when a stalker thew acid on her face which made her blind from one eye and partially deaf .This attack melted her skull and face and restricted her the usage of one hand .In fear of her safety,family didn't lodged complaint .Her family is now bearing all the expenses for her surgery .The acid attack has financially ruined the family.

“While I am getting my basic treatment from Safdarjung Hospital, my family has been funding all additional medical costs (equipments, medicines, tests, medical dressings etc) by either selling my mother’s jewellery or taking loans from people. We have nothing left,” said Archana.

“So far we have spent over Rs. 5 lakh on my treatment, transport, food and stay but now we have reached a dead-end and only the Government can help us from here on,” she said.

When she went to government for help .Our so called great democracy asked her a proof of acid attacks

“The Government has asked me to submit adequate proof of me being an acid attack victim before I could be sanctioned complete monetary support. This has left me and my parents bewildered,” said Archana. “With no money to carry on my treatment we were forced to approach the Government for help recently and this is the response that we have got,” she added.

this was the story of archana kumari

2. Sonali Mukherjee

Nine years ago, three men broke into Sonali Mukherjee’s house, and attacked her with acid that melted her face and and left her almost deaf and blind. Sonali was a 17-year-old sociology student, with big ambitions, and the men who attacked her were her neighbors who had subject her to constant sexual harassment. When she threatened to tell the police, they attacked her. Within three years, the men were out of jail on bail. She says,“Before the attack I was harassed and followed around for nearly two and a half years. Scared and frustrated, I complained to my father, who was a watchman in a mill. My father requested the boys to leave me alone, but to no avail. One night it came in the ugliest form – acid. My younger sister was also injured in the attack but she escaped with major injuries…The worst, however, are the continuing death threats that we are receiving from the attackers. They have now threatened to attack my sister and brother and kill my parents. We have been running like fugitives to escape them.”

Sonali has appealed for medical help from the Indian government, and tougher punishments for her attackers. Or else she wants permission to commit euthanasia. “For the last nine years, I am suffering … living without hope, without future. If I don’t have justice or my health, my only way out is to die,” she said

So here are two cases of Archana Kumari and Sonali Mukherjee . Now you decide was full justice given in above two cases .Shouldn't there be a separate law for such cases where victim should get a medical aid from either government or from accused .At last I would like to end this post with a quote

"Partial justice or half justice is no more less than injustice"

how not to litter

Manikajain — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:12:21 -0500

hii

none of us like dirty roads and we all try or at least try to practise not to littering roads and other public means

but does government provide us with adequate means to keep our city clean?

are we provided with dustbins?

has any municipal corporation in any state provided proper litter bins at the corner of streets to throw waste

in such situation littering of roads is obvious.

Blind Faith: Bizarre Babas and their Followers

nehasr — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 06:55:10 -0400

These days you must have heard about various charismatic babas playing on the gulibility of the people. Nirmal baba, who frequently dispenses absurdities in the name of 'kripa' is one of the best examples of the new generation of Indian godmen and the wierdest part is that even the educated lot follows such people. What are your views about such babas ? Is it fine to make money by playing with the problems of the people ?

Think story telling helps a child's development?

GunjanGoela — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 01:13:15 -0500

A Unique Online Concept - Votepiper.com

payaled — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 01:47:12 -0500

After a very long time, a fresh and a new concept in the online industry has emerged in the form of www.votepiper.com

As the name of site suggests, this is a website which is based on a concept where a person has to play his pipe and get others to follow. A concept which perhaps maybe the next rave amongst the younger and the not so senior lot (with due respect).

Online shopping gets combines with contesting and the users stand to get some fantabulous products at prices one cannot ever imagine. Their process is rather simple despite the stringent security and verification measures that they adopt and rightly so, seeing the kind of activities that go on in the internet arena.

One can register and do online shopping, which gets them contest credits with which they can participate in various open contests for huge huge products. The competitions are based on preparing a vote appeal for one's self for which one can write an appeal down or supplement it with a picture or audio or even share a youtube link to it. Not to forget, one can even share his own website link out there and drive some traffic on their websites. Now the fun starts, where a person can share his appeal and gather votes from his friends and of course the visitors of the website for which the website has even integrated an SMS gateway through which one can promote himself by sending SMS. Social media links really promote a person fast and its mindblowing, the way a person can become popular amongst a huge range of society, not only nationally, but internationally, for his talent.

The greatest part about these guys is that they do not allow unlimited competitions and have kept a tab on the maximum number of contestants for each contest which actually is a very fair opportunity given to everyone in order not to get lost in a crowd. Their think tank indeed has done some serious thinking and come up with a beautiful entertaining website where no one loses.

The fame further continues where the website provides a platform for you to gain popularity even after you have won the contest by having collected the maximum votes for yourself, whereby, each winner is placed on their hall of fame, which is displayed on the homepage and better still, the top 10 vote collectors are given a special treatment under their beautiful record breaker section on the homepage itself. Therefore till someone's record is broken, he shall stay on their homepage and the huge number of visitors who come on the site shall see him and has talent till that time.

Ohh and i completely forgot about their unique 100% cashback thinggy. For every contest credit purchased, you get equivalent amount of shopping credits back into your account which you can use to shop online at their shoppe. This is incredible because basically speaking, you are contesting for free and taking away stuff like a laptop or an ipad or something of that sort for just about nothing..!! and still getting free shopping credits in your account (I wonder, are they really going to make money through this ?? ha ha ha ha ha).

Finally, I must say that blogging about this website itself is tempting me to get on to the contesting platform right away, which perhaps ill do just after i finish writing, especially before this thing catches wildfire because as the time progresses, contesting on this site will become more and more tough because people will start getting a hang of it.

If anyone has a hands on exprience about www.votepiper.com, do please share it here as i shall really looking forward to learn from other's experiences too. Anything - about how to, about what to etc etc about the website.

Peace and Happiness

TECHNOLOGY can ensure SAFETY!

rashi1234 — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:42:45 -0400

“Prevention
is better than cure” the famous old saying has gained importance in recent
times. No one is safe anymore in our complex world. The increasing number of
crimes in country is pointing towards the same issue. Need to be safe. Cases
related to mishaps while travelling, sexual harassment, attempts to rape are
getting common places in leading media instruments. Young enthusiasts studying
in colleges and schools are not safe. Ragging is a monster who makes second
home of a student unsafe. Students after completing their studies enters the
earning battlefield of life, again safety issues crops up. Working
professionals, today, faces numerous security threat and hardly few gets the
safe work place environment in early stages of their career. With increasing
complexities of family system senior citizen are bound to stay alone. This
invites troubles in multiple forms. Medical emergency can be one; physical
safety of self is another. All in all with the increase of complexities in
modern world we are bound to face certain uncertainties which bring out the
need for safety mechanism.

There
are two ways to develop safety mechanisms. Plan your activities well and avoid
risky places as far as possible. Second, develop a mechanism which ensures that
your near and dear ones are alerted as soon as possible and they are in a
position to take necessary action to maintain your safety. A simple smartphone
with a smart application can be the mechanism we need. Download a safety
application which will do the magic. There are few safety applications
available on internet free of cost which caters to either medical emergency or
safety or crisis. One application which is pretty compressive is ‘EYEWATCH’. It
allows you to trigger instant emergency alerts to your trusted contacts,
alerting them about your emergency with location, audio visuals situation and
other critical details.

The
application has the following features: -

line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">o Sends SOS Alerts even if you’re not connected to the GPRS

line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Tracks your location even if you’re inside a building or
your GPS isn’t working

line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"> Instantly captures audio visual information of the emergency
to share with your contacts

line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"> Tracks your family when required in case of an emergency

line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"> Confirms safety to your family without raising an SOS alert

line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Your
pre saved contacts can determine the kind of emergency from the audio/video
footage or phone calls that this application sends. In case of medical
emergency your close one can send an ambulance. They will take any necessary
measure to make sure you are safe.

Find
out your way to be secure. Don’t rely on external authorities to create a safe
environment for you; rather you create your own. Make sure you have mechanism
that will update your closed ones in real time. They will be faster than any
other authorities formulating policies to keep you safe.

how technology is changing dynamics of personal safety?

'We cant fix our government until we fix our Citizenship' Agree or Disagree ?

rohi — Wed, 23 May 2012 15:41:44 -0400

In today's Politics, we can only bring difference if people change.In order to bring change we need 'Strong Leadership' around us.

Leaders should come from us, Its time now to think about our society in which we are living.Leaders are common people like you and me. Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned. Lets redefine leadership in unique way, "Our first responsibility is to define reality and the last is to say thank you.

We are tired of leaders we fear, tired of leaders we love, and of tired of leaders who let us take liberties with them. What we need for leaders are men of the heart who are so helpful that they, in effect, do away with the need of their jobs. But leaders like that are never out of a job, never out of followers.

Do you think it’s right to blame the youth for anything and everything?

'We cant fix our government until we fix our Citizenship' Agree or Disagree ?

rohi — Wed, 23 May 2012 15:44:36 -0400

In today's Politics, we can only bring difference if people change.In order to bring change we need 'Strong Leadership' around us.

Lets know what are the tasks of a Leader:

The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.Leadership must be based on goodwill.It means wholehearted commitment to helping followers.

There are five matters to which a general must pay strict heed. The first of these is administration; the second, preparedness; the third, determination; the fourth, prudence; and the fifth, economy.In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.

You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow,too.The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men, the conviction and the will to carry on. People may ask the difference between a leader and a boss and the answer is "The leader leads, and the boss drives".

So here are the Four rules of leadership If you want to be a 'Honest Leader':

First, no matter how hard you fought for the issue, never get personal. Don't say or do anything that may come back to haunt you on another issue, another day....

Second, do your homework. You can't lead without knowing what you're talking about....

Third, the legislative process is one of give and take. Use your power as a leader to persuade, not intimidate....

Fourth, be considerate of the needs of your colleagues, even if they're at the bottom of the totem pole...

Government is climbing the ladder of success, leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.

So, Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others.

"It is an attitude, not a routine".

How do you know you have won?

You can see When the energy is coming the other way and when your people are visibly growing individually and as a group.

In short, Its not impossible to fix the government if we know what we need to do "Honestly".

Speak Softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.......

Is the FDI good or bad?

mridanglodha — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:36:27 -0400

A lot of concerns have been raised post the FDI relaxation the government has announced for multi-brand and single-brand showroom and retails chains in India. However a lot of people might not be able to see the opportunity cost, while other are not able to see how sustainable will be this growth.

The FDI i think is like a trade off between the qualitative and quantitative growth of the national economy and has a great role to play in the superpower role of India we see in future. The investment is crucial for the growth rate to sustain. The government has been careful enough to provide state governments their due share in decision making and also made provisions that MNCs do not control the domestic Indian market. Hence i feel the FDI is a more great move towards the liberalization of the Indian economy.
