- Dravid the Great- Dravid the Great
March 17th 2007 is the historical event in India cricket history. India lost to Bangladesh in world cub league round. It is also an historical milestone to Banglaesh Cricket History. For both countries, it is a day which cannot be forgotten for another 1 or 2 decades. But both have their own feeling, for India it is the worst day and Bangladesh it is their best day.
What we expect if come true, that will not have strong impact. What we have not expected if come true, that will have strong impact. Unexpected result is more powerful than expected result. For both India and Bangladesh, it is a day of Unexpectation.
- Global warming- Global warming is a natural cause
Global warming may be a cause due to changes in sun.
-----------
Today, environmentalists are creating awareness about Global warming and Green house effect. Global warming, they say, may lead to extinction of living beings from earth; melting of ice berg causing cutting of land size –leading to lot of socio-political and cultural issues.
What is the cause for Global warming? Scientists say many things as the reasons - Industrialization, de-forestation, smoke from the vehicles/ industries, etc. Whatever things, causing to increased carbon monoxide level in atmosphere, will increase warming. Ozone depletion, gases like chloro-fluoro-carbons from air conditioner and fridge are also causes for Global warming. Even in agriculture, Paddy (rice) fields produce more methane gas equivalent to industries.
- Strength of India- Strength of India is Unity among Diversity
India is one of the oldest and traditional countries in the world. It has its prolonged history since Stone Age. Though it has various diversities such as land, temperature, raining, races, type of agriculture and etc all are blended in a thread of unity. From Kashmir to kanyakumari, it has unbreakable bondage.
During the progress of history, we can find the rulers are not satisfied with their limited suzerain. They wanted to rule from Himalayan to tip of the Bay of Bengal. Though people are differing in their physical appearance, language, tradition but they are united by the continuous land. From north to south boundary of India there is no gap. The land is raining consistently. Vindhya satpura mountain range was not a barrier to early people of this land for interactive with one another. From ancient time all are interacting with each other, having the feeling of neighborhood like people of same home head like sons of same mother.
- Social Networking site used to capture a criminal- Social networking changing their face
Social networking is booming in internet. Everybody is aware of its use. Gathering friends. Making online commutiy, etc. But now they are changing their face or usage. It is evident in the case of Khoushambi and Manish in India. Manish murdered Khoushambi. They developed their relation thru orkut, a social community portal.
Detective Usage
Orkut used to capture the killer. Police traced the scrap book of Khoushambi, and found who scrapped her and captured Manish. Orkut is used in detective. Luckily Manish was convicted. If Manish was not captured, the scenario will be different for all the orkut users who have scrapped for her. Police has to ‘inquire’ all the scrappers. Whether you are true and honest or evil and criminal, you have the chance of getting into trouble if scrap to a person who died in a doubtful manner. Whatever you scrap, which is a written proof of your intention.
- Why India becomes Nuclear State- Why India becomes Nuclear State
Last May in this terrific summer India successfully got through its nuclear test. This Nuclear explosion stirs this whole world. Through being a country of struggling for global peace and stressing non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. India has been declared as nuclear state. It comes under the category of nuclear power nations.
India could have exploded its nuclear test earlier even before few years. But for the sake of world political scenario it had kept its nuclear stability under the carpet. India could have avoided nuclear explosion, if world neighborhood politics have not worsened. India’s eastside neighbor has already attained the nuclear power status. It should be noted that, India and China have already waged war against each other.

Chennai house rent and sale price is hiked from 50% to 100% in the last two years. Especially in south madras (Chennai).
India holding the largest middle class population in the world. But its metro cities seem to be not suitable for middle class dwelling. Cost of living in metro cities especially like IT hubs like Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai are going beyond the purchasing power of middle class people. Chennai is slowly pushing the middle class people to out skirts of Chennai. You may be eliminated from Chennai anytime.

A woman goes to Italy to attend a 2-week, company training session.
Her husband drives her to the airport and wishes her to have a good trip.
The wife answers : "Thank you honey, what would you like me to bring for you?"
The husband laughs and says: "An Italian girl !!!" The woman kept quiet and left.
Two weeks later he picks her up in the airport and asks: "So, honey, how was the trip?"
"Very good, thank you." "And, what happened to my present?"

- Global recession - Land Money Maya- Global recession is clouding the whole world. I discuss the land - money myth, which is the main reason for Global recession.
Everybody says, United States goes down, all the major banks closed down, etc. What happened to the money and where is it gone?
Last year my friend purchased a land(tiny bit of land) 100km away from Chennai. He got a loan from XYZ bank for 2 lakhs. Paid the bill to the land and started paying the EMI.
He also 'advised' me to get a loan and purchase a land along with him. Fortunately, I was lazy enough to produce the documents for loan processings. Moreover, I am not interested in 'loan' amd 'EMI'.
- Rights and Responsibility- For Indian bloggers the burning issue may be Ajith's case. Ajith from kerala is charged for defaming Shiv Sena through his forum in orkut. You can read more about it, I am not going to tell the story again. Like Ajith case many more cases may be coming in the near future. The subject here is Violation of Fundamental rights, Freedom of expression.
Rights without responsibility is meaningless. What is right to me, may not be right to others. We are responsible for our actions. The content in the blogs can not be accidental. Everything is a conscious registry.
There is a minute difference between 'eve teasing' and seeing a girl. I may see a girl who just come on my way. If she is beautiful I may stare at her for a fraction of second as a biological reflexes. I continue to go in my way and forget the girl I just met. This may not be a crime. If I 'keep following' the girl and keep on watching her, it may be objected by her and I can be charged under eve teasing. I have to face the trial. I can not say "seeing is my fundamental rights and no law can sue me for keep starring a girl", even after she express her objection.
- Safe Blogging and Risk Blogging- Blogging is a powerful, influential, and 'easily operatable publishing' medium. Anybody can start a blog and write about anything. But many bloggers do not aware of the risk in blogging. Any content we feed to internet may create an impact to its reader or left unnoticed. If it impacts it's reader, the level of impact may vary from slight stir to big bang. At the time of writing we may not know how it is going to reach the readers.
Here I am going to discuss two types of blogging. Safe Blogging and Risk Blogging.
Safe blogging deals with general, entertainment, informative, hobbies, techie info, movie/audio reviews, funny things, comedy and etc. The way content is written and the subject dealt will not hurt anybody or any organization or any entity. It may be interesting or not. These type of content provider or blogger may be a non entity in the society. The content provided is mostly materialistic type, already duplicated or cloned. For example, A.R.Rahman got oscar. Safe bloggers will write about this topic. These type of blogging are not sensational normally. They never face any problem about what they have written. Even they do not have scope for critics.
Risk blogging deals with sensational issues. It is a daring expression of writers opinion about any individual or organization. These type of bloggers believe in something and strongly express their negativity against other type of believers or disbelievers. It is a sort of ideologist content normally. It stirs the emotion of readers. Reader may be in support of what is written or against. Either positively or negatively readers will get stir. Risk bloggers are ideologist. Their content is very hot and sensational. They invite both fame and problems through what they have written.
Example for Safe Blogging and Risk Blogging:
Example #1:
a)"Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest batsman of our century. He is the highest run scorer in test matches and ODI. He is playing since 16 year old boy....". It is a safe content. Nobody can create problem for the above content.
b)Suppose one says, "Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest batsman of our century. Even though he is best as individual, he fails many times in important and pressure full matches. He succumbs to pressure. In this point Lara is a better batsman in pressure handling. He rises to the occasion when situation demands...". This is a risky content, it may stir the public sentiment of Indian cricket fans. Even Sachin or some Sachin devotees may sue for abusing his fame.
Example #2
a)"Terrorism based on any reason should be banned. All countries should work together to stop the terrorism. Talibans moved their base to Pakistan from Afghanistan. It will be threat to India and western countries....". This is a safe content.
b)Suppose one says, "Jihadhi based terrorism has struck the world in the last 10 years. Even the world super power America could not escape from terrorist attack. But for the last 10 years China has no such Jihadhi/islamic based terrorist attack. Chinese are not muslims, all terrorist group based on Islam or Jihadhi should attack China also. But no such incident in china. Is China so powerful as terrorist not able to attack it or the whole terrorism is the sleight of...". This is a highly risky content. China may send a missile to the writer's home.
- Sony IPOD India- Sony IPOD India
I bought a Sony IPOD recently in India. It is the best ipod compare to my previous IPODs. I used one from philips and chinese iphone, etc. In terms of sound clarity and quality, nothing can be par with Sony Ipod. Of course I have not used Apple IPOD. As on date, I prefer its sound quality and comfortable headsets.
