Corruption in Common wealth games

Common wealth games are very close-by. Its one of the biggest event to be happen in a developing country like India. The whole world is watching keenly how well India is going to host this International event. But now our own people have made us feel so ashamed after media brought few things into limelight.

First, Corruption in Common wealth was made as a hot topic. So Kalmadi stated that there was no corruption and everything was going on very perfectly.He and his team were working hard on it.

Since this issue turned up to be big and he left he himself might have to resign, he made a member in his committee to resign.

Second,an issue started that the money was not sufficient to host the games. So they might need an 100 more crores for this for completing the pending work.

Third, even at the peak time of only one month remaining, no stadiums was up to the mark. Many were under construction. Many stadiums were waterlogged. When media questioned Kalmadi he said everything will be fine when the event begins.

Fouth, the major insult came when four international teams declared that Common Village as unlivable. What else is left to make Indians feel ashamed of ?

Added to this the over bridge near Jawaharlal Nehru Statidum collapsed injuring many which added masala to all the happenings.

Only now the Indian government has considered this to be a serious issue and have held up some meetings to discuss the progress and other pending work.

Its now too late to react. If Indian government had a overlook on these , things would have not gone so worst.

Now the whole world knows India is not fit to handle something like this.

Because of few corrupted Indians, all of us now embrassed before the whole world.

Jai HInd!!!!

India glittering start at Common Wealth Games Opening Cermony

After all the hitches and news on India being unfit to host a huge event like Common wealth 2010, India has proved its metal.

This inaguration cermony was held at Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, Delhi on 3rd of Oct  (Sunday) and and Prince Charles and his wife were the chief guest of this great event.

The entire stadium was jam packed with around 60,000 people in it. Programs like yoga, Indian railways which depict the common man's life in India , displaying of different form of dance and last but not the least A.R Rehaman's song made the cermony very interesting.

India has made the whole world to turn back and have a look at the cultural and traditional values of Indian people.

Some snaps of the opening cermony:












Being a developing country, India has given a blazing start for the common wealth games. Hats off to all who have worked so hard to make this event turn out something great. Really proud to be an Indian.

Jai Hind

Science on life after death

In 1991, Atlanta, Ga. resident Pam Reynolds had a near-death experience (NDE). Reynolds underwent surgery for a brain aneurysm, and the procedure required doctors to drain all the blood from her brain. Reynolds was kept literally brain-dead by the surgical team for a full 45 minutes. Despite being clinically dead, when Reynolds was resuscitated, she described some amazing things. She recounted experiences she had while dead -- like interacting with deceased relatives. Even more amazing is that Reynolds was able to describe aspects of the surgical procedure, down to the bone saw that was used to remove part of her skull.

What's remarkable (although not unique) about Reynolds' experience is that it is the combination of an NDE and an out-of-body-experience (OBE).Science, too, has made its own headway toward explaining these weird phenomena. Two studies on the separate aspects of Reynolds' experience were conducted in 2007. Each seems to explain how a person can have an OBE or a NDE, but do they hold up in explaining experiences like Reynolds'?

­As many as 18 percent of people brought back from death after a heart attack said they'd had a NDE . While many religious adherents might not be surprised by these accounts, the idea that human consciousness and the body exist distinctly from each other flies in the face of science. A brain-dead person should not be able to form new memories -- he shouldn't have any consciousness at all, really.

A study from the University of Kentucky has quickly gained ground among scientists as possibly the best explanation for NDEs. Researchers there theorize that the mysterious phenomenon is really an instance of the sleep disorder rapid eye movement (REM) intrusion. In this disorder, a person's mind can wake up before his body, and hallucinations and the feeling of being physically detached from his body can occur.

The Kentucky researchers believe that NDEs are actually REM intrusions triggered in the brain by traumatic events like cardiac arrest. If this is true, then this means the experiences of some people following near-death are confusion from suddenly and unexpectedly entering a dream-like state.

This theory helps explain what has always been a tantalizing aspect of the mystery of NDEs: how people can experience sights and sounds after confirmed brain death. The area where REM intrusion is triggered is found in the brain stem -- the region that controls the most basic functions of the body -- and it can operate virtually independent from the higher brain. So even after the higher regions of the brain are dead, the brain stem can conceivably continue to function, and REM intrusion could still occur [source: BBC].

BURNT BISCUITS !!

Hi friends,
          Good Evening.. Let me narrate you a  short and cute story about relationship...

"Understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or siblings or friendship! "Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - keep it in your own."
 
Let me start off with the story "Burnt Biscuits"...

When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad.


      I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!

      When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned biscuits."

        Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides - a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!"

        Life is full of imperfect things.....and imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. 

       But what I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults - and choosing to celebrate each others differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

JOKES!!!!!!

 Hi friends,

          Here are some jokes to make you cool........


A foreign tourist hired a guide to take him around Delhi and Agra. At the
Red Fort at Delhi, he admired the architecture and asked how many years it
took to build.

Twenty years,. replied the guide.

You Indians are a lazy lot,. the tourist said. .In my country, this could
have been built in five..

At Agra he admired the Taj's beauty and asked how many years it took to
build.Only ten years,. said the guide.

The tourist retorted: .You Indians are slow! We can construct such
buildings in two-and-a-half..

In this fashion the tourist claimed that every building he admired could
have been built in his country in quarter the time.

Finally, when they reached the Qutab Minar, and the tourist asked what it was, the guide replied: .I don.t know. It wasn't there yesterday evening..

German Parking Garage!!

Hi friends,

How's this for an engineering feat?
 
GERMAN  PARKING GARAGE in   Munich ,  Germany 

This is pretty amazing!
Can you imagine how all this operates? 

How do they lock each  car in its cubicle for safety?
WHO CARES?
NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND COULD GET IN IT HERE.
(But believe me, the Germans WILL LOCK THAT CAR!)

Talk about German efficiency!  The two photos above were taken at a new parking garage in  Munich .  The actual space that the facility occupies is approximately only 20% of a comparable facility with the traditional design that is used primarily in the  US .

 Not only is the German structure less expensive to build, but vehicles are also 'retrieved' in less time and without the potential of being damaged by an attendant

Googly From today's Mid-Day Mumbai


Hi friends,

         

Like others, this man too, had a dream.

Like  others , he too pushed his way into the crowded train

Like others, he too wanted to get going before he got delayed

Unlike others, he slipped and fell in the gap between the train and the platform at Kandivli station.

And eight bogies went over him


Find out what happened to this man on

The man obviously has a guardian angel and supportive bystanders who told him exactly what he shouldn’t do — move. And so, the man lay absolutely still as eight bogies of the train passed over him — centimeters from his head. Within seconds the 12-coach train passed and the man clambered out, unaided, unhurt, but too shocked to speak to us after his near-death experience
