Pyramid for success 4) Base or foundation :- Philosophy or Planning :- Must be long term should emphasize over Patience, Customer Satisfaction, Right way for doing things and Trusting workers. Going for One flow process in which one process triggers other so no overproduction no ideal time 3) 1st Middle Support :- Process :- Crucial to eliminate waste 2) 2nd Middle Support :- People :- Must be qualified for the job; Respect, Challenge and Grow them 4) Top :- Problem Solving :- For continuous improvement of people and process Waste is anything consuming resources and not having corresponding value associated with it. Worker, Machines and process all must be treated as Customers; as all as some demands and gives revenues

8 Wastes we must avoid 1) Overproduction :- leads to waste of materials,space,money. Going for batch approach rather than Just In time. With today's fast moving world, JIT approach exceeds Batch by a long distance. 2) Waiting :- Waiting for some resource , some person. In industries workers not having work in the hours define for working. 3) Unnecessary Movements :- Transportation, Moving here and there to ask a thing. Movements of parts by company from one facility to another. 4) Over-processing :- Adds extra step into the process, with no improvement to anybody or anything. 5) Excess Inventory or Excess work :- Leads to waste of time , workers and money. Taking too much work for a short time approach will hamper long term planning as will include more of everything, which will be difficult to layoff in longer periods. 6) Defects/Rework/Scrap/Replacement :- All these are results of not having a process to follow, having too much work , fast decision making. 7) Unused Employee Creativity :- Losing ideas,skills,money by not having appropriate work for a employee which he/she is hired for. Not having regular meetings to discuss problems or new approach with employees i.e non-involvement of people by management 8) Overlapping of work :- Thinking of peer to be less qualified from you for that job.

8 Principles for success 1) Think Long Term 2) Have a Process Flow :- for every small or big thing which you do in your life. 3) Never overburden :- yourself, your machine etc , leads to wear and tear or breakdown which causes waste due to ideal time 4) Stop to fix problem to get quality right :- rather than going for temporarily patch or just make shift as it increases the severity of problem 5) Use technology :- it is all around ourselves, for any type or size of problem or work try to use technology as lessens waste and increases turnaround period 6) Grow people Respect people :- every person can be used in some way, thinking of mainly your peers as less qualified then you disrupts the team working , also leads to overdoing of work 7) Decision Making - SLOW; Implementation - FAST :- Take time to analyse and finding blue print solution of a problem, but implement it fast. The blue print must be accurate so that later overwork can be avoided. 8) Use of PULL :- Work must be objective in nature, so that it can be divided into small and independent quantities. This will lead to non failure of process if one unit fails.

Who is alone...me or the god...or all of u who are living or just us the homo sapiens? lots lots lots of things we do, work,paint,dance,sports..each and every day we tend to make something new...but for whom , for what and why? Are we trying so hard to do something so that we can escape this all nonsense of not knowing who we really are, what we want? We make money, fall in love, dreams and try to turn it into reality, but even then we never had a moment in our life where we can stop, because as soon as we stops we starts fallin into a grt void, a abyss. How hard we try to live our life, we had invented and discovered a thousand things but of no use. Still we are no great than the animals or birds or any "livin minus homo sapiens" out there. We are eat, shits, loves and dies. Then why can't we just stop and let roll into the flow of nature. Is god also so lonely(if he is?)? Are we his sons, or just his toys. We like video games, we like them more when they seems more real. We are creating robots, trying to find out new forms of lifes, petting all living creatures. WHY? ...because we like something to entertain as with its randomness....we like to be masters but even then we like a spark of rebel in our followers or slaves, but just a spark not the fire. So is it same with god..he created us because he is lonely. Is the mountains, plains, oceans are just animation to him. Does he also simply reboots his machine when things goes little bit out of control. Are we trapped in Schrodinger equations? Encaged in a invisible box called dynasty, within which we can roam a little, but can't leap out of it, as it requires a huge amount of energy.. and when someone is able to pull it off, we called him GENIUS. Is the world around us is real? is it same as we sees it? ....forget it does we look like as we appears in the mirror..or its just some illusion..what if we are 4,5,6 D creatures , but are eyes converts it to 3D. The GITA seems so true, that this whole world is a JAAL OF MOH MAYA. Running here and there , losing weights - gaining weights, loading layers of make up, reading books - writing books, trying to find more and more beautiful partner, tryin to became more rich , tryin to become a marvel. But why all this? Since we don't know who are we, what we should do, how to stop this spinning earth?

well well well ...once again i get fucked. this time in love . too much of anythin is dangerous or to say "TOO HOT TO HANDLE". same applies for love , forget those crap lovestories of sharukh khan ...where everythin comes well at the end. here nothin was well at the end. well so much i m fed up with ending of everythin good associated with me , that i went to end of the story even before i begin with it. well what happened was i and she were new to a company(MNC). got into same project and kind of geled together. also our rented houses were close , so even we started to come and go together. Slowly friendship flowered into love , well since it was my first love , i want to give it all from my side. I think i give it too much. well what happened was i used to regard her happiness before mine , i even let her make some decision even though i know there were not good for the situation. but love blinds u. but i used to get angry afterwards , well i should have acted like MALE in the first situation. But i used to take it as default and thought she should be able to understand it . what the f**k...whether she was an alien or a clairvoyant ? well my bad. but actually that is not so hard ...since i used to understand a lot even when she doesn't speak abt it ...when she wants somethin, when she want to go for chicken ...she and my roomie are born chicken killer. and also when she wants to stay with me . I also get rid of lots of bad habits of mine ... but alas nothin worked. well one thing i come to know that , u really sud say/listen to one another ...its not like movie ..where eyes says everythin... I think honestly , i should have been more vocal ...also little bit i feel she should rather than justifying herself on every occasion , sud have said sorry (even if it was not her fault).....love is not about war or some case which is fought in the court ...love is more abt finding happiness in other person ...which i was trying to do when i let her do what she wanted....but i think love is also not letting someone get spolied . it is very delicate , very pure , it doesn't require anythin ...not a spark ..if it has to happen , it happens .....the more i think abt it in peace , actually listening to music in office , more i don't know what happened , why our relation ended....u don't know whether it ended or not ...since it happened 2-3 times before , where i thought i m free now , but i felt more deeply in love ...but till this time i feel different ...may be since i m able to put my mind to somethin else......thats a great trick ...if u want to forget someone or somethin , just let ur mind think anythin else...get rid of anythin associated with him/her ..... so this was all i want to say .... FYI :- having a bacardi blast party(me alone) in my room today , not like devdas but just to celebrate my freedom again ......love u all ...since i can now share my lov

What a name to give to a story , well the name suits the story and no other name wud hav don the justice. Story or reality , I am confused , as what i am going to reveal happens rarely with a person . I was posted at bangalore in an IT company. Life was goin fine , untill the day I see her again . Things like this makes you believe in something more powerful than you. Life in IT company sucks , if you do not want to lose ur "virginity" , by this I mean the inheritant "mba" person in us.your day starts with something like ajax,.net,ado and ends with mojo ,pojo and other "MAKING CODER LIFE EASY TECHNOLOGIES". So , i was talking about the day when i again meet her. She still look the same , with a small bindi on her forehead , wearing a green kurta and white churidar , her left side of face hiding in her hair . I only get a peep at her , that too just from the side , but a feeling told me it is her . I felt my heart getting heavier , my eyes getting wet , my voice losing power . I felt happy and sad , lucky and shamed at the same time . I lost sense of everything and fainted . I heard people voices , sensing someone calling my name . I regained my conscious . Thanked the person who helped me , right in those people , I heard her voice asking me " are you alright". The voice was the same , eyes same but still something changed . was it the effect of the time or she changed , I was confused. I said i am fine . She smiled and said "ok" in same peculiar fashion as she used to do at our time of training. But still , something doesn't seems to be at his place. I asked her name ....Vidhi Vyas ... Naa ..my memory can't be so weak....I remember the first time she told her name , when it was induction program going in Outfosys...Priya . I thanked her and boarded my train . It was 1-AC , with no one else in my room or cabin which 1-AC has.The fellow passengers( a family of three) which are in my room will board at bhopal . I was going to delhi to visit my family . The train started and I changed to shorts , plugged my laptop and start reviewing the project I was working on . After half an hour , The TT came to my room , checked the ticket and called someone saying " YAHAN AA SAKTI HO , JAB TAK KAHIN KHALI NAHI HOTA". I planned to tell him , this is not the correct thing to do in AC compartment , he can't simply do his JUGAD in here , but as always the pusillanimity succeeded to show up . A suitcase enterd my room , followed by the girl (vidhya vyas ). I was startled , but managed to utter an inaudible Hi , but she would have seen my hand movement and responded. So , our journey started , she was just looking out of window and I into a window(lapi os). Suddenly I heard her saying will u raise volume a little bit . a song was playing in the lapi , and it seems to be her favourite , same song was priya's fav. After that song , in the playlist "OUR OUTFOSYS SONG WAS THERE " it started. I quickly changed the song . After sometime she asked Am I working in Outfosys. I said yes. She just nodded her head. After sometime I asked her , Is she is also in Outfosys , she giggled and said she is still studying and is in last year of her college . I asked her any plans of joining Outfosys. She momentarily get sad , and said no. I felt hugely shamed , however ur company is , u don't expect people to say like that. She said sorry realising I was hurt . I said no problem , the company isn't for everyone . She may hav got the anger in my voice and said she is sorry again . I said ok and asked abt her college . She was from mit jaipur . I asked abt the college ambiance and placements . Outfosys is like dream company there she told . I can't help to ask her then why she said no , wheter she hate IT jobs or planning for higher studies . She got sad and with little moisture in her eyes she told her sister was in Outfosys and she is no more . Suddenly as if world stop spinning , everything felt in place . She is priya's sister , whose voice I hav heard many times priya was speaking to on phone. I asked her if her sister's name priya. She said yes , do u know him ?. Know , I loved her , she was everything i ever cared abt .

THE G FAMILY : PART 2

2009-10-18T01:35:00.001-07:00

2.5 G

2.5G is a stepping stone between 2G and 3G cellular wireless technologies. The term "second and a half generation" is used to describe 2G-systems that have implemented a packet switched domain in addition to the circuit switched domain. 2.5G provides some of the benefits of 3G (e.g. it is packet-switched) and can use some of the existing 2G infrastructure in GSM and CDMA networks. GPRS is a 2.5G technology used by GSM operators

International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000), better known as 3G or 3rd Generation, is a family of standards for mobile telecommunications defined by the International Telecommunication Union, which includes GSM EDGE, UMTS, and CDMA2000 as well as DECT and WiMAX. Services include wide-area wireless voice telephone, video calls, and wireless data, all in a mobile environment. Compared to 2G and 2.5G services, 3G allows simultaneous use of speech and data services and higher data rates (up to 14.0 Mbit/s on the downlink and 5.8 Mbit/s on the uplink with HSPA+). Thus, 3G networks enable network operators to offer users a wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network capacity through improved spectral efficiency.

The new services which we will get from 3g are Fast Communication, Internet, Mobile T.V, Video Conferencing, Video Calls, Multi Media Messaging Service (MMS), 3D gaming, Multi-Gaming etc

TERMS TO GET CLEAR

NARROW BAND AND WIDE BAND

2G OPERATES IN NARROW BAND AND > 3G OPERATES IN WIDE BAND

Wireless systems can be classified according to whether they have a narrowband or wideband architecture. Narrowband systems support low-bit-rate transmission, whereas wideband systems support high-bit-rate transmission. A system is defined as narrowband or wideband depending on the bandwidth of the transmission physical channels with which it operates

The coherence bandwidth is defined as the frequency band within which all frequency components are equally affected by fading due to multipath propagation phenomena. Systems operating with channels substantially narrower than the coherence bandwidth are known as narrowband systems. Wideband systems operate with channels substantially wider than the coherence bandwidth. In narrowband systems, all the components of the signal are equally influenced by multipath propagation. Accordingly, although with different amplitudes, the received narrowband signal is essentially the same as the transmitted narrowband signal. In wideband systems, the various frequency components of the signal may be differently affected by fading.

In wireless telecommunications, multipath is the propagation phenomenon that results in radio signals reaching the receiving antenna by two or more paths. Causes of multipath include atmospheric ducting, ionospheric reflection and refraction, and reflection from water bodies and terrestrial objects such as mountains and buildings. The effects of multipath include constructive and destructive interference, and phase shifting of the signal. This causes Rayleigh fading.

THE G FAMILY : 0G 1G 2G 2.5G 3G , PART 1

2009-10-17T19:24:00.000-07:00

In this article I am going to give a brief intro of G family , i.e 0G 1G 2G 3G , how they work and later economics related with 3G auction in india.

The 0G or early mobile telephone systems can be distinguished from earlier closed radiotelephone systems in that they were available as a commercial service that was part of the public switched telephone network, with their own telephone numbers,rather than part of a closed network such as a police radio or taxi dispatch system.

These mobile telephones were usually mounted in cars or trucks, though briefcase models were also made. Typically, the transceiver (transmitter-receiver) was mounted in the vehicle trunk and attached to the "head" (dial, display, and handset) mounted near the driver seat.

IMTS AND RCC were the technlogy which were used. In public switched network, suppose two caller wants to talk , then the operator of respective caller will secure a common line and let them talk , and till these users don't end their talk the line will remain busy.

1G (or 1-G) refers to the first-generation of wireless telephone technology, mobile telecommunications. These are the analog telecommunications standards that were introduced in the 1980s.

The main difference between two succeeding mobile telephone systems, 1G and 2G, is that the radio signals that 1G networks use are analog, while 2G networks are digital.Although both systems use digital signaling to connect any two radio towers (which listen to the handsets),but to the rest of the telephone system, the voice itself during a call is encoded to digital signals in 2G whereas 1G is only modulated to higher frequency, typically 150MHz and up.

technologies used AMPS,NMT,RTMI and TACS

Started in 1991 , it has three primary benefits over their predecessors ,that phone conversations were digitally encrypted, 2G systems were significantly more efficient on the spectrum allowing for far greater mobile phone penetration levels; and 2G introduced data services for mobile, starting with SMS text messages.

2G technologies can be divided into TDMA-based and CDMA-based standards. GSM is TDMA based, therefore we generally hears only about cdma and gsm phones.Also a third technolgy is FDMA which is generally used in combination with these

0G 1G AND 2G ALL WERE CIRCUIT SWITCH NETWORKS

TERMS TO GET CLEAR

1 CIRCUIT SWITCHING AND PACKET SWITCHING

In packet switching , the users data is grouped into packets of definite sizes generally in bytes . it is these packets which have to be switched between users ,whereas in circuit a definite route or resource or path is held by users ,and these are switched. we can take a example of trains to understand it . Suppose there are three parallel tracks , in case of CS the train will run over them ,so only three users can be connected at a time , whereas in PS ,the coaches of train are considered as packets , so more users can connect at a time ,as each train has number of coaches which are reserved by users

2 CDMA TDMA FDMA

FDMA stands for frequency division multiple access , we know that mobile works within a given spectrum ,which is range of frequency ,in FDMA it is divided b/w users , like a highway is divided into lans , but here on a lan one user at a time

TDMA stands for time division multiple access , it can be best understood by considering the that on the lans described in FDMA , we are setting a time interval of users that is from morning 9 to 11 mr sharma on lan 1 , from 11 to 12 mr bhaskar on lan 1 . but as you can see even now road is not fully utilise and idle times are present in between

CDMA stands for code division multiple access , it is little bit difficult to understand as in it we have to consider that the lan sizes can change with the car being use i e code , so what hapens is that depending whether a cycle is coming or truck is coming we can change lan size , that this is also what happens on roads , but like roads the fear of losing packets or accidents increases with increase in number of users

EL NINO

2009-10-14T21:39:00.000-07:00

El Nino is a shift in ocean temperatures and atmospheric conditions in the tropical Pacific that disrupts weather around the world. It is a poorly understood recurrent climatic phenomenon that primarily affects the Pacific coast of South America, but has dramatic impacts on weather patterns all over the world.

Pronounced ‘El-Ninyo’, it means ‘the boy’ in Spanish and was named so by Peruvian fishermen after the Christ child since its effects are generally first felt around Christmas. It is a periodic warming of the Pacific Ocean that leads to terrible extremes of weather

El Niño and La Niña(LATER IN ARTICLE) are defined by sustained differences in Pacific-Ocean surface temperatures when compared with the average value. The accepted definition is a warming or cooling of at least 0.5°C (0.9°F) averaged over the east-central tropical Pacific Ocean. When this happens for less than five months, it is classified as El Niño or La Niña conditions; if the anomaly persists for five months or longer, it is called an El Niño or La Niña "episode."Typically, this happens at irregular intervals of 2–7 years and lasts nine months to two years.

The first signs of an El Niño are:

1. Rise in surface pressure over the Indian Ocean, Indonesia, and Australia

2. Fall in air pressure over Tahiti and the rest of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean

3. Trade winds in the south Pacific weaken or head east

4. Warm air rises near Peru, causing rain in the northern Peruvian deserts

5. Warm water spreads from the west Pacific and the Indian Ocean to the east Pacific. It takes the rain with it, causing extensive drought in the western Pacific and rainfall in the normally dry eastern Pacific.

Normally, easterly trade winds blow from east to west, across the Pacific, pushing warm surface water away from the South American coast towards Australia and The Philippines and west asia(note here consider on map america on east and europe on west).Trade winds actually come from poles towards equator due to pressure difference because of warm and cold water,but due to earth rotation they deflect so the northern pole wind comes from north towards equator sliding to west (DONT GET CONFUSE BY THIER EASTERLY NAME).Similarly for southern pole . In eastern pacific along coasts upwelling begins mixing of deep sea cold water with upper layer water(which also causes nutrients to get mix). The easterly winds causes the warm water movement to western globe , so now we have a pressure diffrences in eastern and western pacific , so rain clouds come over western parts

During El Nino, the trade winds gets weaken . This allows warm water to recede to eastern pacific and a reversal of pressure situation causing droughts in western globe and floods in S America, further upwelling stops or happens at slow rate causing the nutrients produced by the upwelling of cold water to significantly come down, leading to the killing of plankton and other aquatic life such as fish and the starvation of many seabirds. This is called the El-Nino effect.

The El Nino increases drought in Africa, India and Australia, heavier rainfall in South America, extreme weather in Britain, including warm and cold spells.

La Nina

This phenomenon generally follows an El Nino. La Nina (pronounced Lah Nee-Nyah) is the cooling of water in the Pacific Ocean.

It is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific, compared to El Nino, which is characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific. Typically, La Nina occurs roughly half as often as El Nino.

The impacts of La Nina impact on the global climate and ocean temperature tend to be opposite those of El Nino. In the US, winter temperatures are warmer than normal in the south-east and cooler than normal in the north-west during a La Nina year. temperatures are warmer than normal in the Southeast and cooler than normal in the Northwest.

Snow and rain is experienced on the west-coast and unusually cold weather in Alaska. During this period there are higher than normal number of hurricanes in the Atlantic.

DISASTERS

A wide variety of disasters have been blamed on the El-Nino effect including a famine in Indonesia in 1983, bush fires in Australia arising from droughts, rainstorms in California, and the destruction of anchovy fishery off the coast of Peru. During 1982/83 it is said to have led to the death of some 2000 people worldwide and caused losses amounting to approximately 12 billion dollars.

The impact of the 1997/98 spell of the phenomena was very damaging. Floods devastated the Americas, storms hit China, drought parched Austria, and forest fires burnt parts of South-East Asia and Brazil. Indonesia experienced the worst drought in the last 50 years and in Mexico, the town of Guadalajara saw snow for the first time since 1881. In the Indian Ocean, it affected the movement of the monsoon winds.

INDIA AND EL NINO

India's economy is hugely dependent on agriculture, which in turn depends on rainfall. The June-September monsoon provides about 80 per cent of the annual rainfall in India.

Agriculture, which accounts for about 17 per cent of India's gross domestic product (GDP) will be severely hit due to the drought. The production of rice, sugar and soyabean are already badly hit.

The developments are a matter of great concern for states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan. These regions have been hit hard and do not benefit from the reverse monsoon or the north-east monsoon.

About 65 per cent of the sown area would bear the brunt of the drought. The fall in monsoon will also hit the already power-starved nation as the water levels in almost all reservoirs have fallen below their 10-year average.

The government's Food Security Act, which plans to offer 'food for all' for prices as low as Rs 2-3 for rice and wheat could also be hit as food stocks get depleted faster than expected.

GOOD THINGS

El Nino has a few positive aspects. Due to the change in wind patterns, a hurricane formation in the Atlantic will be prevented. This in turn will help oil production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico, bringing down the probability of an oil price hike.

This will also help orange, sugar cane, coffee and cotton plantations in Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica and the southern United States.El Nino usually brings a warm winter to the northern USA. Warm winters would reduce energy consumption, which is another positive impact of the El Nino.

END OF FRILLS TO NO-FRILLS ACCOUNTS

2009-10-14T09:56:00.000-07:00

Unrestricted usage of third-party ATMs will ends from 15 oct 2009, whereas only from April 1, 2009 ,Reserve Bank of India had made banks to provide free third party withdrawal

Banks have complained that the number of transactions had increased dramatically since then, while the ticket size of each withdrawal had reduced, resulting in increased interchange expenses for banks. Every time a customer uses another bank’s ATM, the customer’s bank has to pay the acquiring bank an interchange fee of Rs 18 to 20.

But from now,every transaction carried out on another bank’s ATM could cost an savings account holder Rs 20 and withdrawals will face a limit of Rs 10,000, with maximum of 5 free withdrawals per month

Current account holders can be charged the fees, which ranges from Rs 18 to Rs 20, from the very first transaction.

BANKS STARTEGY

HDFC Bank is allowing its salary account and premium customers an unlimited number of free third-party ATM withdrawals,while restricting savings-account holders to five free withdrawals. HSBC is also waiving ATM charges for its Premier and PowerVantage customers.Axis Bank, which has the third largest ATM network in the country, has chosen to break ranks and not charge any customer for third-party withdrawals. Informed sources said this is a part of the bank’s strategy to attract low-cost current account and savings account (CASA) customers. The bank was seeing positive interchange flows even when the free ATM rule was in place and is thus in a position to offer this facility to its customers.

SBI has the largest ATM network with 5,700 ATMs and ICICI Bank has the second largest network of 2,200 ATMs

RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT 2005

2009-08-16T11:51:00.000-07:00

The law was passed by Parliament on 15 June 2005 and came fully into force on 13 October 2005 .The law gives right to the citizen of india to question any central or state body(EXCLUDING JAMMU AND KASHMIR) ,also it covers private sector ,judiciary and bureaucracy . But there are certain organisations within them ,whose information is vital for country or for that particular organisation and can't be disclosed by the law.Previous to this , the information disclosure was hitherto restricted by the Official Secrets Act 1923

Freedom of Information Act

The first attempt to draft a national-level bill was done in 2000 under H D SHOURIE.But due to strong criticism of the bill, it never came into force.

STATE LEVEL LAW

Besides this law many states has their own law for right to information .In case of conflict , national law supersedes the state one .

STATES HAVING THEIR OWN LAW

Tamil Nadu (1997),Goa (1997), Rajasthan (2000), Karnataka (2000), Delhi (2001), Maharashtra (2002), Madhya Pradesh (2003), Assam (2002) and Jammu and Kashmir (2004). The Delhi RTI Act is still in force. Jammu & Kashmir, has its own Right to Information Act of 2009.

TIME LIMITS

If the request has been made to the PIO, the reply is to be given within 30 days of receipt.

If the request has been made to an APIO, the reply is to be given within 35 days of receipt.

If the PIO transfers the request to another public authority (better concerned with the information requested), the time allowed to reply is 30 days but computed from the day after it is received by the PIO of the transferee authority.

Information concerning corruption and Human Rights violations by scheduled Security agencies (those listed in the Second Schedule to the Act) is to be provided within 45 days but with the prior approval of the Central Information Commission.

However, if life or liberty of any person is involved, the PIO is expected to reply within 48 hours

Since the information is to be paid for, the reply of the PIO is necessarily limited to either denying the request (in whole or part) and/or providing a computation of "further fees". The time between the reply of the PIO and the time taken to deposit the further fees for information is excluded from the time allowed.

If information is not provided within this period, it is treated as deemed refusal. Refusal with or without reasons may be ground for appeal or complaint. Further, information not provided in the times prescribed is to be provided free of charge.

FEES AND PROCESS

Fee of Rs. 10 for filing the request, Rs. 2 per page of information and Rs. 5 for each hour of inspection after the first hour. If the applicant is a Below Poverty Card holder, then no fee shall apply. Such BPL Card holders have to provide a copy of their BPL card along with their application to the Public Authority.Under the Act, all authorities covered must appoint their Public Information Officer (PIO). A person have to submit a request to the PIO for information in writing. It is the PIO's obligation to provide information under the Act. If the request pertains to another public authority (in whole or part) it is the PIO's responsibility to transfer/forward the concerned portions of the request to a PIO of the other within 5 days. In addition, every public authority is required to designate Assistant Public Information Officers (APIOs) to receive RTI requests and appeals for forwarding to the PIOs of their public authority. The citizen making the request is not obliged to disclose any information except his name and contact particulars.

REDEMPTION (short story 2)

2009-08-13T12:29:00.000-07:00

Aug 1990

My son was born, it is said god is present in newborn, that's true . Never i had been more careful then at that moment, when I picked him,never did my wife looked more beautiful then at that moment, and never did the hatred in her eyes. My mother's death has changed my father and my son birth mine. Never I remember to had buy something from the market for the home, never before i had gifted something to my wife.I took leave from my company , faternal leave , and later quiet the job when they didn't extened my leave .My wife was little apprehensive regarding the change in me , as I had when my father changed .She was afraid of me , as i m fattening the sheep before slaughtered. I started to do houshold chores , make her to rest whole day.I took her to multiplex for the first time . but whatever i do , there was a invisible barrier between us from her side

Humans are odd. when u r wrong but not ask for forgiveness, others are impotent in front of u, but if the same person accepts his or her mistakes,then we seek pleasure in not forgiving him, letting him burn in his fire of guilt. Humans are like rubber , they stretch ..stretch ..strecth .untill reached there elastic point , from where they can't reach back to their original state , and some reaching their breaking point , breaks.My mother was at the breaking point of her life, for her life was a burden,carrying it as if asking god for forgiveness of her previous life's sins. My wife ,was at the elastic point. wheter wheter on left of it ,or right ,i didn't know. i prayed for the second time , first time when my child was born , to forgive me ,to restore my family , to heal my wife's heart.

But god is mysterious person , odd like man . He also not punishes you till you are doing wrong ,but when u want to be good , u want to live a sincere life , u want to be his follower , he puts obstacles , he test , he punishes .When you ask his forgiveness , he makes u to walk miles . Why didn't he open his gates , why didn't he accept you in first place.

April 1992

It seemed to me,that god has absolved me .My wife was laughing again,started to go out. Human never knows what interest does the god calculates over your sins. I had paid my principal ,but interest was still remaning.

I came to know about my wife's affair , the whole rosy picture of world which has been conjured in my mind was shattered. Again the devil inside me started lurking outside. I took the gun from my drawer , went to my wife's room .My son was there , I sent him to play outside .

I asked my wife about his affair, the glow of her cheeks faded away, and in place of it redness came , the bood redness....

The revolt , the complaning , her opposition to my oppresion which i had always wanted , has came now , when I didn't want it. She yelled about my atrocities ,she cried about her pains , her broken dreams , her hate for me , murder of her soul.

She told me that she meet her lover in hospital , when my kid was in her womb. This is god's justice , the time when I changed ,he changed everything, a doctor , the doctor , the same doctor who give life to me (my kid) from one hand, taken it back from other.

I now came to know that even when I am not able to forgive my father , after so many years , and all he had done to restore my life ,how can I be acquitted so early .

.June 1992

I had given divorce to my wife , because only it can put her on the left side of elastic point . Also my son is her son now , though she wanted me to keep him , I doesn't wanted him to be devoid of mother's love and care , which I never had . I meet the doctor , he 's a nice and caring man.

.Tomorrow i will go to my father , to forgive him .....to free him from debts.....

REDEMPTION (short story 1)

2009-08-13T11:45:00.000-07:00

June 1992 tuesday 3:00 am .... ,

I am not able to sleep from the past two days, even sleeping pills are not of any help.Every time i tried to close my eyes , my past life flashes before me.

April 1992 ,

I met with an accident, that changed my life.

April 1962 ,

I was born ,ordinary in every ways but not in an ordinary enviroment.My father was a manager in some company,his salary was just enough to supporthim,not us(me and my mother).My mother was a primary school teacher.

May 1967 ,

I had recieved my first beating.It was my first day at school.The teacher gave a list of books ,which had to be brought in the class everyday.I gave the to list to my father, and he in return given me some blood, a swollen eye and the first chapter of the life,after that these types of chapters were part of my regular studies.

Aug 1990 ,

It was for the first time , I come to realise the power of love .first time , to acknowledege that my wife is so beautiful, first time , about the devil I am.It was second time ,when i was reborn and my first child born.

April 1992 ,

I came to know about my wife's affair . the devil inside me was again ,reborn. I picked up my revolver from the drawer.Life has once again started plotting against me .

Jan 1988 ,

I am having a feeling of power,a sadistic pleasure .It was first time ,when i had beaten my wife . I don't know , but i was enjoying it .I was feeling complete and ,a sense of peace was prevaling in me.

May 1968 ,

I had just returned from school , barely 3 years old ,when i noticed a large crowd gathered around my home . As i made my way through it, I saw some policemen talking to my mother .They were asking about the mark on her ankles and faces ,her swollen eyes.My mother without speaking went inside , the police turned attention to my father, asked him to come to policestation.I went inside , my mother was crying seating aorund a corner ,with her saree covering her face. I went to my room changed my clothes ,had food and slept.Cries of my mother woked me , I went to my mother's room , my father was back , he was again beating my mother.His eyes turned to me and then he start beating me . I don't know when , I had lost my feelings of love,hate,pride ....

I was like a death , unable to feel emotions , even continuos beating , no longer evoked any tears.

My mother died on Aug 1978 . Had she followed the teachings of hers,which she used to teach her students,she may have not got the tittle of typical indian wife, but would have certainly not died.

Died is wonderful thing , who dies ,who lives no one can tell .My mother death brought a change in my father, he no longer used to drink , no beatings ,always lost in redeeming his sins,but no longer his repentance can change anything.

I got married on DEC 1987,don't know why some one had agreed to marry me. I was working in a MNC ,drawing 12 lakhs per month , may be that would have been a reason.The girl or my wife was average -looking. It was my father who had taken care for all ceremonies and rituals , maybe he had arranged it,thinking it may change my way of life. My wife was more like my mother , never asked anything , never questioned me. She used to took my apathy to be mistakes on her part , even left her job , to provide more time to home ,which was for me just a shelter.

I remember her love-making and the sex first time we had.It was sunday evening , 2 months of our marriage ,were watching a movie , when the reel-life chemistry between actors sparked our real-life encounter.It was fascinating , the dam which was helding my emotions broke out. But as stagnant water gets putrid, so does restrained emotions. It unleashed hatred, frustations ,shame , anger from me and the target the girl.

The shame of not shaving my mother, not be able to stand beside her,the frus tation of young kid devoid of love ,the anger of taking revenge .

Humans are queer creatures , they give pains to those ,who love them.They tried to seek justification from them ,of deeds of others .

I transformed into my father, same cruelty same barbarity......the thing which i used to hate most , start loving it.

My wife never used to complain and that further used to provoke me , I always wanted her to raise voice , beat me , leave me . Her submission , her feeling of helplessness with which my mother used to succumb to my father atrocities, abhored me , and when the same was done by my wife ,I used to feel defeated in front of her.

WHO AND H1N1

2009-08-06T23:54:00.000-07:00

WHO has two main indicator , when it dealt with influenza virus outbreak.

The first one is Pandemic Alert Level,which defines the stages of a pandemic, outlines WHO's role and makes recommendations for national measures before and during a pandemic.The chart is given below

WHO Pandemic Influenza Phases (2009)
Phase	Description
Phase 1	No animal influenza virus circulating among animals have been reported to cause infection in humans.
Phase 2	An animal influenza virus circulating in domesticated or wild animals is known to have caused infection in humans and is therefore considered a specific potential pandemic threat.
Phase 3	An animal or human-animal influenza reassortant virus has caused sporadic cases or small clusters of disease in people, but has not resulted in human-to-human transmission sufficient to sustain community-level outbreaks.
Phase 4	Human to human transmission of an animal or human-animal influenza reassortant virus able to sustain community-level outbreaks has been verified.
Phase 5	Human-to-human spread of the virus in two or more countries in one WHO region.
Phase 6	In addition to the criteria defined in Phase 5, the same virus spreads from human-to-human in at least one other country in another WHO region.
Post peak period	Levels of pandemic influenza in most countries with adequate surveillance have dropped below peak levels.
Post pandemic period	Levels of influenza activity have returned to the levels seen for seasonal influenza in most countries with adequate surveillance.

The second is PANDEMIC SEVERITY INDEX The index focuses less on how likely a disease will spread worldwide-that is, become a pandemic-and more upon how severe the epidemic actually is.The main criterion used to measure pandemic severity will be case-fatality ratio (CFR), the percentage of deaths out of the total reported cases of the disease.The table is given below

Category	CFR
1	less than 0.1%
2	0.1% to 0.5%
3	0.5% to 1%
4	1% to 2%
5	2% or higher

H1N1 & HIS BROTHERS

2009-08-06T22:54:00.000-07:00

THE HORRORS

H1N1

The Spanish flu, also known as La Gripe Española, or La Pesadilla.avian influenza, a viral infectious disease, that killed some 50 million to 100 million people worldwide over about a year in 1918 and 1919. It is thought to be one of the most deadly pandemics in human history

Russian flu of 1977–1978 flu epidemic caused by strain Influenza A/USSR/90/77 (H1N1).

On June 11, 2009, the WHO declared an H1N1 pandemic, moving the alert level to phase 6, marking the first global pandemic since the 1968

H2N2

The 1889 pandemic, known as the Russian Flu, began in Russia and spread rapidly throughout Europe. It reached North America in December 1889 and spread to Latin America and Asia in February 1890. About 1 million people died in this pandemic

The "Asian Flu" OF 1956 was a category 2 flu pandemic outbreak of avian influenza that originated in China in early 1956 lasting until 1958.worldwide death estimates 1-4 million.

H3N2

The Hong Kong Flu was a category 2 flu pandemic caused by a strain of H3N2 descended from H2N2 by antigenic shift, in which genes from multiple subtypes reassorted to form a new virus. This pandemic of 1968 and 1969 killed an estimated one million people worldwide

THE NOMENCLATURE

Influenza, commonly referred to as the flu, is an infectious disease caused by RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae (the influenza viruses), that affects birds and mammals. The name influenza comes from the Italian influenza, meaning "influence" (Latin: influentia)

In virus classification the influenza virus is an RNA virus of three of the five genera of the family Orthomyxoviridae:

* Influenzavirus A
* Influenzavirus B
* Influenzavirus C

Influenza viruses are classified as type A, B, or C based upon their protein composition.Types A and B have 8 RNA segments and encode 11 proteins. Subtype C has 7 RNA segments and encodes 9 proteins

Influenzavirus A several subtypes, labeled according to an H number (for the type of hemagglutinin) and an N number (for the type of neuraminidase). There are 16 different H antigens (H1 to H16) and nine different N antigens (N1 to N9).

hemagglutinin is found on the surface of the influenza viruses. It is an antigenic glycoprotein. It is responsible for binding the virus to the cell that is being infected.The name "hemagglutinin" comes from the protein's ability to cause red blood cells (erythrocytes) to clump together ("agglutinate")

neuraminidase is an enzyme on the surface of influenza viruses that enables the virus to be released from the host cell

The 1,2,3... classification of H and N is because they are protiens,are made of amino acids ,it is the difference between these constituents acids which make them differ.

RIGHT TO EDUCATION PART 2

2009-08-05T08:10:00.000-07:00

Though the bill has been passed , but the implementation is going to be tough, the fact why the bill was so important is when we talk of ourselves to be world's next superpower, the education system and its depth provides a abysmal picture. In india of every 100 children attending elementary school only 12 reached the graduation level; in Europe it is 50-70 (students reaching college from the elementary level) and the global average 27. The Centre wanted to increase India’s average to 15 by 2012 and to 30-35 by 2020.

GLOBAL SCENARIO

The right to education has been universally recognised since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 (though referred to by the ILO already in the 1920’s) and has since been enshrined in various international conventions, national constitutions and development plans. However, while the vast majority of countries has signed up to, and ratified international conventions (such as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) far fewer have integrated these rights in national constitutions or provided the legislative and administrative frameworks to ensure that these rights are realised in practice. In some cases the right exists along with the assumption that the user should pay for this right, undermining the very concept of a right. In others, the right exists in theory but there is no capacity to implement this right in practice. Inevitably, a lack of government support for the right to education hits the poorest hardest. Today, the right to education is still denied to millions around the world.

EDUCATION AND 4 As

For education to be a meaningful right it must be available, accessible, acceptable and adaptable. The concept of these 4 As was developed by the former UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education, Katarina Tomasevski, and it is one of the best ways to assess and act upon the situation.

RIGHT TO EDUCATION BILL

2009-08-05T07:23:00.000-07:00

HISTORY

At the time of independence, the creators of the Constitution of India wanted every child up to the age of 14 to enjoy the right to and have enrolment in education by the 1960’s. Yet this intent was passed as Article 45 under Directive Principles of State Policy, which “are not enforceable by the courts”. The original Article 45 of the Constitution “seeks to provide free and compulsory education for all children up to the age of 14”. Although the Constituent Assembly of India said we would be “cheating the nation” by not providing education to all, 60 years down the road we yet are to accomplish this fundamental goal.

As Article 45 did not accomplish providing education to all children up to the age of 14, the year 1968 saw education again on the agenda with the formulation of the National Policy on Education of 1968 that laid out guidelines for ‘status, emoluments, and education of teachers’ and ‘development of languages’ and also ‘equalisation of educational opportunity’ etc.

Then in the mid eighties, then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi set up a committee to review elementary education. This committee drafted the “Challenge of Education: A Policy Perspective” which was the forerunner to the “National Policy on Education 1986 (NPE)”. If this policy had been enacted in 1986, “every child of 11 years in 1990 and of 14 years in 1995 would be in school”. The NPE had a detailed ‘programme of action’ for each clause in order to accomplish the goal of providing elementary education to every child.

In the early 1990’s then Prime Minister VP Singh set up a new committee under the chairmanship of Acharya Ram Murthy, which reviewed the 1986 NPE. This committee made cosmetic changes to the 1986 NPE but did “extend the deadline of providing education to every child by the turn of the century.” This was not accomplished.

Next, BJP introduced the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, which said all children would complete eight years of schooling by 2010, but for that goal to be accomplished all children would have had to be enrolled by 2003. In 2002, BJP drafted the Right to Education Bill, 2002, which did not get passed in Parliament.

Then during UPA tenure , the bill is reviewed by a the committe set up for it,it provided a modified version of the bill , which was presented in rajya sabha in 2008, but was not able to be get passed.

THE OBSTACLES

Since it was put in directive principles of constitution , which are not enforceable by court , and these principles are generally taken for granted by both central and state goverment , thinking it as responsibility of other, the right to education was not meet . The NPE(rajiv gandhi) was not sucessful as there was a change of goverment.

For later , the factors, were the insistence of some academics that the Bill is not ready to be passed because the quality of education being assured is not “perfect to the T”. A concern of the government has been regarding the “justice-ability” of the Bill. Along the way there have been changes in the Constitution. While the original Article 45 mandated compulsory education to all children up to the age of 14, the 86th amendment to the Constitution mandated compulsory education to children between the ages of 6-14.(adding of article 21a) To protect the 0-6 age group, the early childhood care and education (ECCE) was established but only as a directive for states wherein they would “endeavour to provide” pre-schooling to the 0-3 and the 3-6 age group.(article 45th changed)

CURRENT SCENARIO

Key provisions of the Bill include: * 25% reservation in private schools for disadvantaged children from the neighbourhood, at the entry level. The government will reimburse expenditure incurred by schools. * No donation or capitation fee on admission. * No interviewing the child or parents as part of the screening process. The Bill also prohibits physical punishment, expulsion or detention of a child, and deployment of teachers for non-educational purposes other than census or election duty and disaster relief. Running a school without recognition will attract penal action.

It will be known as ‘The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Bill, 2009,’ The Rajya Sabha passed the Bill on July 20 2009.Once the President gave assent to the Bill, getting education would be a fundamental right of the child.

BALUCHISTAN ISSUE

2009-08-03T03:02:00.000-07:00

Baluchistan is one of the 4 states/provinces of Pakistan. It constitutes roughly 40-43% of the land mass with only 5%-7% share in the population. It has the richest mineral and natural resources in the country, yet, is the most improvished area of Pakistan with the lowest literacy, health and infrastructre indices

HISTORY

Let me start with a bit of history. The region was largely under Iranian kingly control and the autonomous principality of Kalat. The British wrested control away from the Khan of Kalat in the early 1840s and it became the staging ground for the various Afghan-British wars (the Great Game) in the later half of 19th century. The 1876 treaty between the Khan of Kalat and Robert Sandeman accepted the independence of the Kalat as an allied state with British military outposts in the region. After the 1878 Afghan War, the British established Baluchistan as a provinicial entity centered around the municipality of Quetta – Kalat, Makran, and Lasbella continuing to exist as princely realms. The British interest in the region was largely to use it as a land-mass bulwark against Central Asian encroachments. Besides a train track, the development and settlement of British holdings excluded most of the tribal population. The administrative and legislative reforms of late 19th and early 20th century India overlooked Baluchistan. Around the 1930s, Baluchi nationalist parties emerged to contest for freedom from British rule. They took the princely state of Kalat as the focal point of a free and united Baluchistan. Iqbal’s vision of autonomous federation of Muslim state included Baluchistan but the Khan of Kalat never brought into the Punjabi nationalist paradigm, arguing that the Kalat had special treaty powers. Baglar Begi Khan declared the independence of Kalat on August 15, 1947. He assured the neo-state of Pakistan that Kalat will participate in the defense and infrastructure but will be autonomous. That didn’t go over well at all and the Pakistani army entered the region to occupy the area immediately. On Mar 27, 1948, the Khan of Kalat gave in to the State of Pakistan and his old attorney M. A. Jinnah. His brother Abdul Karim Baloch refused to surrender and revolted until his arrest in 1950. Baluchistan was put under Governor General control and no elective body formed in Baluchistan until 1973. After Partition, the threat of E. Pakistani – read Bengali – hegemony (55% of population at the time), forced the Punjabi military and civil elite (in 1947, Punjabis made up 77% of the army being only 25% of the population) to consitute W. Pakistan as One Unit in the 1956 Constitution. This was done presumably to guarantee equal representation for W. Pakistan but the measure was highly unpopular in Sindh, Baluchistan and NWFP because it meant rule of the Punjabi over their regional interests. Separatist, sub-national movements triumphing local languages and cultures and protesting Punjabi hegemony arose in all the three states. Especially in Baluchistan, the Khan of Kalat led a stringent opposition to the One Unit. But the wave of military dictatorships quashed all such designs. In 1970, Yayha Khan dissolved the One Unit to appease E. Pakistan but the horrific damage done by the army in soon-to-be-Bangladesh proved too much. After 1971, the sub-nationalist movements in Sindh and Baluchistan demanded their fair share of the nationalist pie. With Bangladesh’s independence, Punjab became the most populous and richest state in the country. It had 58% of the population while Baluchistan had 4%. Led by Bhutto’s central populism, Baluchistan had its first elected body in 1972. The National Awami Party won the majority of the seats in Baluchistan and started making noises about state rights. In 1973, it was clear to the NAP that Baluchistan was the least developed province with the majority of civil and military bureaucracy coming from Punjab. They, quite correctly, saw this as a colonial exploitation. The discovery of natural gas reserves at Sui had made the area incredibly vital to Pakistan and Iran’s developmental programs. The refusal by the Bhutto’s central government to allow NAP internal autonomy escalated a tense situation into an outright revolt. Bhutto dismissed the Baluchistan assembly and re-instituted Governor’s rule. The Baluchi nationalists launched an all-out military resistance. From 1973-1978, roughly 60,000 Baluchi tribesmen and militia have faced off against the Pakistani army. Iran, eager to quell any similar uprising in its bordering area, has contributed airforce and personnel to the Pakistani efforts. They bombarbed Baluchi villages into submission. Bhutto’s ouster, via Zia’s military coup, forced a calm onto the situation as Zia launched into his One Pakistan Through Islam program. The Afghanistan war, the Iranian revolution and the Zia’s policies made Baluchistan into an island of outsider activity. US/UN aid for Afghani refugees poured into the metropolitan areas. During the 90s, the Benazir/Nawaz Sharif governments did little for Baluchistan as the Baluchi nationalist parties floundered in exile. After The General landed into power (get it?), he tried to foster new relationship with Baluchistan. Over the last three years, the Kachhi Canal, Mirani Dam, Gwadar Port, Makran Coastal Highway, Saindak Copper Project and Quetta Water Supply Scheme were announced by Islamabad. Over 300 percent increase was made in the national budget for development programs in Baluchistan. Yet, all these things have failed to materialize from paper into concrete. These latest incidents emerge from the same calls for Baluchistan’s equal share in the national programs and right to self-administer. The catalyst seems to be the assault on a female doctor, Dr. Shazia Khalid, by a gang of employees of the PPL at Sui. The company management, along with the local police, tried to quash the issue while the central authorities ignored all pleas to intervene. This caused the initial attack on the Sui facility. Nawab Akbar Bugti, the leader of Democratic National Party Baluchistan, clearly stated that the attack was borne out of frustration on the lack of action against the employees who did the assault and was NOT a nationalist struggle for freedom by the tribals. The General, on the other hand, is going to play this as another internal/extrenal threat to Pakistan and seems determined to carry out a military response. His pointed reference to the 1973 uprising is meant to warn the Baluchi tribals that he will not negotiate on his terms. Today’s actions by the tribals and the military response in Baluchistan can be understood within the context of the acrimonious central-regional relationship in Pakistan. The rights of states, the rights of minorities, the rights of individuals are all negotiated within the vaccum of Islamabad military power-brokers. Having no access to that, the aggrieved parties find no alternative except violent struggle. The history of MQM, of Sindh, of Waziristan and, of Baluchistan provide ample attestation to that reality. I hate to say it again but here it goes: there is no way out except a democratically elected and constituted assembly that will re-imagine Pakistan as a federation with a secular and civil Constitution at the helm.

P M IN BALUCHISTAN

2009-08-03T02:23:00.000-07:00

A lot of hue and cry is been raised by the opposition and media, over the baluchis -tan issue . Opposition is again raising demanding , resignation from the PM . THE ISSUE

The whole thing began with the joint statement of india-pak issued at Sharm el-Sheikh (Egypt),at the 15th NAM summit. the chief point of guidelines were The prime ministers 'considered the entire gamut of bilateral relations with a view to charting the way forward in India-Pakistan relations' and agreed that the foreign secretaries should 'meet as often as necessary and report to the two foreign ministers' who would meet on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Both leaders agreed that that terrorism is the main threat to both countries.' In response to the PM's call to bring the perpetrators of 26/11 to justice Pakistan Prime Minister Gilani stated that they would 'do everything in its power in this regard', that it had given an updated status dossier on investigations into 26/11, and that it sought additional information/evidence. PM said that the dossier was under review. the comment is by a former Indian high commissioner to Pakistan and former deputy national security adviso (Comment: The PM's demand was, unfortunately, minimalist. It was restricted only to seeking satisfaction on 26/11 with no call for dismantling the infrastructure of terror or even an assurance, as given by Pakistan in January 2004, that the territory under its control would not be used for terrorist attacks against India. Pakistan's response was also minimalist and not even in the nature of a cast iron guarantee that those responsible for 26/11 would be brought to justice. Moreover, the ball is now in India's court, in respect of 26/11, as we are yet to respond to the dossier given to us). Both prime ministers agreed that they 'will share in real time credible information on any future terrorist threats'. Prime Minister Gilani mentioned that 'Pakistan has some information on threats in Baluchistan and other areas'. (Comment: This is the first time that an India-Pakistan joint statement hints at Indian involvement in Baluchistan and in 'other areas'. It is myopic to see no harm in this as it equates India with Pakistan as a perpetrator of terror. The international community, which hitherto was convinced of our bona fides on this account will now begin to have doubts. Finally, this will be used to discredit the Baluchistan freedom struggle and harsher measures against it by the Pakistani authorities are on the cards. * Both the prime ministers recognised that 'dialogue is the only way forward. Action on terrorism should not be linked to the composite dialogue process and these should not be bracketed'. The PM added that India was ready to discuss with Pakistan all issues 'including all outstanding issues'. 'Prime Minister Singh reiterated India's interest in a stable, democratic, Islamic Republic of Pakistan'. (Comment: It ill behoves the prime minister of a secular country to espouse an interest in the religious labelling of any State. What would be his position if tomorrow the democratic forces in Pakistan decide that it should be a secular state?

The thing to which most people are concluding is that it is case of bad drafting. Also some sees it as result of american pressure .Also the delayed support to Manmohan singh by the question raises suspicion that congress , may not be too happy with his statement.

THE PM REPLY IN PARLIAMENT :EXCERPTS

An interpretation has been sought to be given to the Joint Statement that we will continue to engage in a composite dialogue whether Pakistan takes action against terrorism or not. This is not correct. The Joint Statement emphasized that action on terrorism cannot be linked to dialogue. Pakistan knows very well that with terrorism being such a mortal and global threat, no civilized country can set terms and conditions for rooting it out. It is an absolute and compelling imperative that cannot be dependent on resumption of the composite dialogue. In the Joint Statement itself, the two sides have agreed to share real time, credible and actionable information on any future terrorist threats. When I spoke to Prime Minister Gilani about terrorism from Pakistan, he mentioned to me that many Pakistanis thought that India meddled in Balochistan. I told him that we have no interest in destabilizing Pakistan nor do we harbour any ill intent towards Pakistan. We believe that a stable, peaceful and prosperous Pakistan living in peace with its neighbours is in our own interest. I told him then, and I say it here again, that we are not afraid of discussing any issue of concern between the two countries. If there are any misgivings, we are willing to discuss them and remove them. I said to him that I had been told by the leadership of Pakistan several times that Indian Consulates in Afghanistan were involved in activities against Pakistan. This is totally false. We have had Consulates in Kandahar and Jalalabad for 60 years. Our Consulates perform normal diplomatic functions and are assisting in the reconstruction of Afghanistan, where we have a large aid programme that is benefiting the common people of Afghanistan. But we are willing to discuss all these issues because we know that we are doing nothing wrong. I told Prime Minister Gilani that our conduct is an open book. If Pakistan has any evidence, and they have not given me any and no dossier has been given, we are willing to look at it because we have nothing to hide.

BHARTI AIRTEL AND MTN

2009-08-02T21:31:00.000-07:00

MAY 2008

BHART AIRTEL and MTN sat down to ink a deal .which would have created world 6 largest mobile company, with with a network of 130-million subscribers -- 68-million from MTN and 62-million from Bharti -- that would dominate two of the world's fastest-growing cellular markets, India and Africa.Bharti proposed buying MTN at R165-175 per share, which would have valued the Johannesburg listed company at $41bn-$44bn. It would have set a record for a cross border acquisition by an Indian company.

However, after intense negotiations, MTN began to worry that a takeover of one of South Africa's most successful post-apartheid companies would be politically unacceptable. It proposed that Bharti's main shareholders instead swap their stakes for stock in MTN. This would have made Bharti an MTN subsidiary - a proposal the Indian company said on Saturday would have "severely compromised" it. So the talk was not able to walk.

THE RCOM DRAMA

After the talks with bharti failed , Rcom come into the picture .It agreed to the subsidiary thing , but it has its own share of troubles due to brothers fight(ambanis). So , even that failed .If the deal had been done,then the combination of Reliance and MTN could put the merged entity into the top tier of telecoms groups, which include China Mobile, the world's largest mobile operator by market capitalisation, and Vodafone, the largest wireless company by revenue.

MITTAL'S PROBLEM ANIL'S COMFORT

The reliance and mtn preferred model was on a reverse take-over, under which Mr Ambani could swap most or all of his 66 per cent stake in Reliance for a stake in MTN of up to 34.9 per cent. Under Indian rules, MTN would also have to make a tender offer for a further 20 per cent of Reliance. That arrangement would be acceptable to Mr Ambani because he would end up by far the largest single shareholder in the enlarged group - the existing leading investors in the South African company would collectively hold only 23-24 per cent after the deal. Mr Mittal would not have enjoyed the same comfort for two reasons. First his family owns a 26 per cent stake in Bharti Airtel, according to analysts at JPMorgan, and would have ended up with a smaller stake in the enlarged group. He also would have had trouble with Indian rules restricting foreign ownership to 74 per cent of telecoms companies. Bharti is already 65 per cent foreign-owned compared with just 10 per cent of Reliance.

TALKS RENEWED IN CHANGED SCENARIO

Bharti is now the third largest single-market operator in the world, after China Mobile and China Unicom, while South Africa-headquartered MTN is one of the MEA region’s strongest players, with operations in 22 countries. Combined, the two carriers would rank third in the world in subscriber terms, behind China Mobile and Vodafone. The proposed deal would see Bharti acquire 49 per cent of MTN and MTN acquire 36 per cent of Bharti, of which 25 per cent would be held by MTN with the remainder held directly by MTN shareholders, Bharti said in a statement.

Still everything is hazy , will this time sunil mittal will be able to ink the deal is yet to be seen

WHY INDIANS PLAYERS NOT GIVING WADA TO WADA

2009-08-02T21:05:00.000-07:00

The current power tussle going between BCCI and ICC+WADA is getting bigger day by day. Can ICC beat BCCI using WADA as its bramastra.The recent appointment of WADA by ICC to follow the anti-doping laws prevalent in sports world now a days , is givin nightmares to players.

THE UNACCEPTABLE ISSUES

It requires players nominated by the sport's parent body to submit to random testing. These players have to inform ICC at the start of every three-month period of a location and time that they will be available for an hour each day for testing. A player needs to update the nodal officer on any changes in schedule either online or through SMS. If the player is not present at the specified location and time, a 'strike' will be recorded against his/her name. Three strikes would mean suspension for up to 2 years from the game.

THE INDIAN SIDE

BCCI AND INDIAN PLAYERS BELEIVE the clause with regard to whereabouts of cricketers is unreasonable for three reasons. First, some (Indian) cricketers have security cover, and when you have such cover, you cannot disclose your whereabouts to a third person. Second, the privacy of individuals cannot be invaded. Third, the Indian constitution guarantees every citizen his privacy .The indian players are not against the dope-test, even BCCI is saying that for random testing it can call players anytime told by WADA

THE HORRORS

1)The most likely thing on the cards is that BCCI has to comply to the norms.
2)The WADA has told the cricketers that they run the risk of being banned for at least a year and maximum of two if they stick to their stand and do not fill the 'whereabouts' form. Missing the deadline thrice in a span of 18 months means an automatic ban , and indian players had missed one deadline 31 july
3)Cricket can never be a part of olympic and asian games , untill and unless it all playing nations abide wada norms.

THE AMBANIS RIVALRY PART 2

2009-08-02T20:28:00.000-07:00

2009

The current ongoing bone of contention is the supply of gas from the k g basin by mukesh's RIL to anil's led reliance natural resouces. The battle has taken a new turn with petroleum industry also coming in between.

BONE OF CONTENTION

In 2005 , when the agreement was reached between the brothers there was a clause , which used to saying that mukesh has to supply " 28 million cubic meters of gas per day to his brother's company Reliance Natural Resources Ltd (RNRL) at 2.34 dollars per million British thermal unit (mBtu) for 17 years". now after 4 years the goverment fixed price is 4.21$ per mBtu.

Mukesh is saying that he will only sell gas to anil after the goverment nod , as goverment is sole responsible in establishing price of gas. Anil is claiming it to be preposterous , claming that mukesh R energy have enough gas left with him after providing to goverment own plants that it can sell it whatever cost he chooses

Though the matter had been put before the mumbai high court , which told mukesh to respect family clause

THE GOVERMENT ANGLE

The petroleum ministry is saying that natural resoures are goverment and people's property , therefore it is not for brothers to decide about price,it is demanding the supreme court to quash the family pact.Energy analysts worry the fight over the gas price could cast a shadow over the next round of the government’s “new exploration licensing policy”. Oil companies are allotted exploration blocks under the condition they are allowed to exploit any discoveries at market prices.

IMPORTANT FACT "Assuming 80 mn cubic meters per day of gas supplies for a year as a whole, India could save $ 8.3 bn annually," Moran Stanley said in a research note on RIL for its clients. RIL, which is currently producing 31-32 mmcmd, is likely to touch 80 mmcmd in next six months. This peak output could replace close to 26 million tons of crude oil, which is as much as ONGC produces domestically, or about 17 per cent of current demand in India, the report said. "We estimate 20 mmcmd of gas would go to the fertilizer industry and most of the rest to the power industry. This implies that as much as 13 million tons or 50 per cent of the country's fertilizer production, and about 12,500 MW of power, or 8-9 per cent of overall power produced in the country, can run on RIL's gas." RIL stated gas production from KG-D6 fields on April 2 and has signed contracts with 15 fertilizer plants to sell close to 15 mmcmd gas. Additionally, it has contracted over 25 mmcmd to 19 power plants and 3.3 mmcmd to steel plants. Morgan Stanley report stated that 5 mmcmd more gas could go to fertilizer plants and identified power plants that can take more of KG-D6 gas.

THE AMBANIS RIVALRY

2009-08-02T20:00:00.000-07:00

2004-2005

It was a shock for the corporate world and shareholders , when the feud between ambanis siblings came in public glare. To settle the ongoing dispute among brothers k v kamath , then icici chairman proposed a 40:30:30 ratio . According to which the whole property will be divided among the brothers in 30:30 ratio , and the rest 40 percent to mother and sisters.

. The result was

mukesh ambani got reliance industries and ipcl (indian petroleum corporation ltd), he renamed it to RIL.
anil ambani got reliance infocomm ,reliance energy and reliance capital,he renamed it to ADAG.
At the time of divide reliance has over 97,000 crore in revenue

2008 rivalry resurfaces

Again the brothers were at loggerheads , when RCOM anil ambani company went to ink deal with MTN , south african giant telecom company.After the failed talks of MTN and AIRTEL (read the article BHARTI_AIRTEL and MTN), RCOM tried to get with MTN , thus becoming a major player both in india and abroad, but mukesh ambani led RIL, raised the issue of RIGHT TO FIRST REFUSAL,which he said was in family contract during the amicable settlement of the dispute.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

According to it suppose MR A has this right over MR B company , MR B wants to havedeal with XYZ, then it is possible only when MR A first refuses to ink deal with XYZ . If without MR A refusal ,MR B goes ahead then he have to face law.

Later on deal was scrapped , with both MTN and RCOM jointly refering to some legal issues. the battle continues see the ambanis rivalry part 2 .

ARTICLE 377

2009-07-16T03:28:00.000-07:00

Most of the newspaper are abounded by the news and images of the gay parades. Suddenly number 377 has assumed significance. Numerological it reduces to 8 which has both masculine and feminine qualities. Also in bible it signifies new begining.

Both of these go hand in hand , as far as GAYS are concerned.Article 377 states that "Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine."

Now the people in favour of it had two main arguments
Religious:- which has nothing to do as far as law in concerned.It is on the morality of the person IT HELPS TO PUNISH PAEDOPHILES:- but nowhere in the article children are mentioned .

Till date it has been generally misused to harass homosexuals.We can have a seperate law to punish padophiles.Also the IPC indian penal code was framed in 1860.At that time our society was backward and more in the claws of supersition. The britishers who were chief architect of it , has themselves accepted homsexuaity.

Also it is no longer a taboo . Brokeback Mountain and Milk the oscar winner movies dealt with the same topic.We have to remeber that when blacks and harijans had fight for equality same relegious dogmas had proved to be impediments.

FREEDOM

4 all who on 26/11 where united.and r going 2 be united only as indians

terrorism is not just spreading of terror
it's more than that
the word is in dictionary
but the meaning not

ask those who hav lost someone,
4 them no terror remains
it's just a sick sadness
which prevails

it's not about bomb,blast and blood
because then it will count every movement of the world

it's rape of humanity,slap 2 a nation
a pathetic act,which knows no limitation

it's not fostered by any religion
or pampered by any state
it grows on just plain hate

the era may not be gandhivian or a nehru one
but their principles r the only solution

be strong from inside,wheter a individual,state or nation
only that can bring a revolution

ext forces integrates u, int ones disintegrates u
it's applicable not only in science,but in all streams
so lets pledge to make our nation a universally united team.

TRIBUTE TO HUMANITY

2009-07-06T06:22:00.000-07:00

On a certain day ,certain month,certain year
thousands were born,all same ,all similiar.
each one just a twinkle of their mother's eye.

Unspoiled by poison of caste,
undifferentiated by boundaries of land
nor proud of their colors.
for them, they all were the same.

Slowly slowly ,unchecked ,undefined
the differences were growing.
caste ,color ,religion,creed
cutting thousands into hundreds,
hundreds into tens,tens into ones.

The growth of his was,growth of his anger.
his knowledge was awarded for making differences.
his society was utopian,but each day getting smaller and smaller.

But again as he starts growing old,
like his days ,his memory starts receding
deserting him,of his differences

Slowly,slowly,unchecked,undefined
the boundaries melted,like his bones
colors of thousands again getting same.
once again for them ,they all look same.

Atlast,
on a certain day,certain month,certain year
the thousands died ,all same ,all similiar
each one just a HUMAN,

no ram,no rahim,nor black ,nor white
undivided by color,united by just a land..........

WEB SEARCH ENGINES

2009-07-01T08:42:00.000-07:00

A lot has been heard about wolfram alpha engine , also microsoft has come with his new search engine bing , so also has google with google squared. Sometimes back cuil was there,developed by ex-googlites. Google and Yahoo has been always there. apart from these many more exist , but unable to mark up their presence.

Starting with Google,it has ability to captivate any new user who even accidentally use it. The simple home page , which now is preference of all new search engines ,was a great idea. In performance it beats all except bing comprehensively.The bing more looks like a cut- copy- paste version of google,but is free from extra burdens which google carries ,labs,apps ,blogs, scholar ,code ...etc.

In order to evaluate all these have tried the following queries.

1) images of shruti hassan,sharon stone,anushka sharma,a girl of my college

In the images displayed Bing scores over Google , the first sets of photo were the lovliest in Bing cases,but only drawback was all the results were displayed on the same web-page,so u have to scroll down.

2) weight of earth

Wolfram scores neatly , plus providing some intersting additional facts

3) author of midnight children , godan and one night at call center.

Wolfram only scores when it has data , in case of salman rushdie , but in other two cases Google, Yahoo and Bing scorse

4) presidents of india, green mile movie

Google squared scores giving data in very beautifully and neatly

5) anushka sharma,deepika,asin,genelia

Google squared scores ,not only does it tell about them but also tells about all other actress

6) movie downloading site

Google and Bing both

7) videos

Here Bing scores , because Google does nothing except turning u to u tube.

8) spelling mistakes

Wolfram alpha gets heavily puzzled .

So in the end Google wins (mainly due to it's first runner advantage), but it closely followed by Bing .

Bing and Google both can be used for most of the searches.But if have to deal with facts and figures turn to Wolfram alpha ,and if wants some inter-related searches Google squared is the best.Cuil gets lost in them .

Important Features

Bing xrank in more tab :-list what is most searched topic in web currently

Google:- the extra burden , because it is fantastic if u are more than a novice googler.

Wolfram :- the additional facts is displays with the query result

Google squared:- it ability to relate ur queries and answering them .

Images

Search results on Squared ,on typing brad pitt

Search results in Wolfram ,on typing da vinci code

CLOUD COMPUTING

2009-06-29T06:37:00.000-07:00

Was going through business world ,when the word cloud computing caught my attention.The world raised my curiosity( a computer eng).So after searching a lot i am able to comprehend what it is all about .

The name cloud computing is mainly because of ,internet equivalence to cloud (since u don't know what is coming and going in internet) and in books cloud is used to depict internet in a diagram.

Cloud computing is readily embraced by companies , as it reduces cost and increases efficiency . It is a approach in which software,infrastructure ,platform are provided as services.

The following case will help to understand it better

A company say SERVER has put some large servers but is able to just use 60% of total resources.Now a small company, a individual and a large company are there , say CLIENT1, CLIENT2 , CLIENT3 .

CLIENT1 is small company and for it installing server at its offices is not cost effective , so it ask SERVER to let him use its resources , so that it can develop applications on their servers(from server side ides' are provided ex amazon web services provides for .net, php ,ruby). This is PLATFORM AS A SERVICE (PaaS),

ex googleapps, amazon web services.

CLIENT2 is a individual , and just uses msoffice ,vimeditor, picassa .. etc for files editing , so rather than installing all the required softwares on his pc ,he urges SERVER to let him use its resources ,so SERVER develops a application in which using a web browser CLIENT2 can do its work on SERVER machine . This is SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SaaS)

ex googledocs,salary.com

CLIENT3 is a large company, and can be a it or non-it company ,and for some uses needs a server or some extra pc ,may be for some limited period of time . So the service provided by SERVER in this case is known as INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE (IaaS). But this doesn't means SERVER will rent its hardware , here will come into play another new technology VIRTUALISATION .

ex amazon web services

The provider charges amount on usage basis rather than for a fixed period of time,and hence it is mutually beneficial for both.
