Our National Anthem... (A Must Read)
This is interesting. .....and shocking..... ........
'Jana Gana Mana' - Just a thought for the National Anthem! How well do you know about it?
I have always wondered who is the ' adhinayak'and' bharat bhagya vidhata',whose praise we are singing.. I thought might be Motherland India! Our current National Anthem 'Jana Gana Mana'is sung throughout the country.
Did you know the following about our national anthem, I didn't.
To begin with, India 's national anthem, Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka, was written by Rabindranath Tagore in honor of King George V and the Queen of England when they visited India in 1919. To honor their visit Pandit Motilal Nehru had the five stanzas included , which are in praise of the King and Queen.(And most of us think it is in the praise of our great motherland!! !)
In the original Bengali verses only those provinces that were under British rule,i.e . Punjab, Sindh,Gujarat ,Maratha etc. were mentioned. None of the princely states were recognized which are integral parts of India now Kashmir, Rajasthan, Andhra, Mysore or Kerala.
Neither the Indian Ocean nor the Arabian Sea was included, since they were directly under Portuguese rule at that time. The Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka implies that King George V is the lord of the masses and Bharata Bhagya Vidhata is 'the bestower of good fortune'.
Following is a translation of the five stanzas that glorify the King.
*First stanza:* (Indian) People wake up remembering your good name and ask for your blessings and they sing your glories. (Tava shubha name jaage; tava shubha aashish maage, gaaye tava jaya gaatha)
*Second stanza*: Around your throne people of all religions come and give their love and anxiously wait to hear your kind words..
*Third stanza:* Praise to the King for being the charioteer, for leading the ancient travelers beyond misery.
*Fourth stanza: *Drowned in the deep ignorance and suffering, poverty-stricken, unconscious country? Waiting for the wink of your eye and your mother's (the Queen's) true protection..
*Fifth stanza*: In your compassionate plans, the sleeping Bharat (India) will wake up. We bow down to your feet O' Queen, and glory to Rajeshwara (the King).
This whole poem does not indicate any love for the Motherland but depicts a bleak picture. When you sing Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka, whom are you glorifying? Certainly not the Motherland. Is it God? The poem does not indicate that. It is time now to understand the original purpose and the implication of this, rather than blindly sing as has been done the past fifty years.
So they can as well play Vande Mataram, which is a far better composition in praise of our Dear Motherland India.
I AM PROUD TO BE INDIAN

Tips to Search better in Google
This is an old one, but very important: Put quotes around phrases that must be searched together. If you put quotes around "electric curtains," Google won't waste your time finding one set of Web pages containing the word "electric" and another set containing the word "curtains."
Similarly, put a hyphen right before any word you want screened out. If you're looking up dolphins, for example, you'll have to wade through a million Miami Dolphins pages unless you search for "dolphins - Miami."
Google is a global White Pages and Yellow Pages. Search for "phonebook:home depot norwalk , ct," Google instantly produces the address and phone number of the Norwalk Home Depot. This works with names ("phonebook: robert jones las vegas, NV") as well as businesses.
Don't put any space after "phonebook." And in all of the following examples, don't type the quotes I'm showing you here.
Google is a package tracker. Type a FedEx or UPS package number (just the digits); when you click Search, Google offers a link to its tracking information.
Google is a calculator. Type in an equation ("32+2345*3- 234=").
Google is a units-of-measuremen t converter. Type "teaspoons in a gallon," for example, or "centimeters in a foot."
Google is a stock ticker. Type in AAPL or MSFT, for example, to see a link to the current Apple or Microsoft stock price, graphs, financial news and so on.
Google is an atlas. Type in an area code, like 212, to see a Mapquest map of the area.
Google is Wal-Mart's computer. Type in a UPC bar code number, such as "036000250015, " to see the description of the product you've just "scanned in."
Google is an aviation buff. Type in a flight number like "United 22" for a link to a map of that flight's progress in the air. Or type in the tail number you see on an airplane for the full registration form for that plane.
Google is the Department of Motor Vehicles. Type in a VIN (vehicle identification number, which is etched onto a plate, usually on the door frame, of every car), like "JH4NA1157MT001832, " to find out the car's year, make and model.
For hours of rainy-day entertainment, visit http://labs. google.com . Here, you'll find links to new, half-finished Google experiments- like Google Voice, in which you call (650) 623-6706, speak the words you want to search for and then open your browser to view the results. Disclaimer: It wasn't working when I tried it. (Ditto a lot of these experiments. )

India's new missile is able to attack China's Harbin
India's Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL) has made its forthcoming Agni-5 missile highly road-mobile, or easily transportable by road, which would bring Harbin, China's northernmost city within striking range if the Agni-5 is moved to northeast India.
The Agni-5 is similar to the Dongfeng-31A presented in China's National Day Military Parade in Beijing . India is going to test-fire the missile in early 2011.
The ASL, which develops India's long-range, nuclear-tipped missiles, enables the Agni-5 to reach targets far beyond its stated 5,000-km range by quickly moving closer to the target. Therefore, from various places across India, the Agni-5 can reach every continent except North and South America.

अग्नि-5 की चिंता से दुबला हुआ चीन
नई दिल्ली, [जेएनएन ]। अरुणाचल प्रदेश से लेकर दलाईलामा तक के मामले में भारत के लिए सिरदर्द बन रहा ड्रैगन यानी चीन अब इस चिंता में दुबला हो रहा है कि हम उसके हर कोने तक में मार करने वाली मिसाइलें विकसित कर रहे हैं। देश की मारक क्षमता में कई गुना इजाफा करने वाली बहुप्रतीक्षित अग्नि-5 मिसाइल का परीक्षण 2011 के शुरुआती महीनों में किया जाएगा लेकिन चीन अभी से इस भारतीय ब्राह्रास्त्र से भयाक्रांत है। अग्नि पांच की आंच से पैदा हुई चिंता की लकीरें उसके ललाट पर स्पष्ट देखी जा सकती है। चीनी कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी के मुखपत्र 'पीपुल्स डेली' ने इस आशय की खबर प्रकाशित की है।
बुधवार को पीपुल्स डेली में 'भारत की नई मिसाइल चीन के हरबिन तक हमले में सक्षम' शीर्षक से प्रकाशित खबर में चीन की चिंता साफ झलक रही है। अखबार के अनुसार आसानी से सड़क माध्यम से एक स्थान से दूसरे स्थान तक ले जाने में सक्षम इस मिसाइल को भारत के उत्तरीपूर्वी इलाके से छोड़ने पर चीन के सबसे उत्तरी छोर हरबिन को भी तबाह किया जा सकता है। अखबार ने भारतीय गांडीव में शामिल होने जा रहे इस अचूक ब्रह्रमास्त्र के बारे में लिखा है कि यह चीन के राष्ट्रीय दिवस पर परेड में शामिल की गई मिसाइल डोंगफेंग-31ए के टक्कर की मिसाइल है।
एडवांस्ड सिस्टम्स लेबोरेटरी हैदराबाद द्वारा विकसित की जा रही लंबी दूरी की अग्नि-5 मिसाइल अपनी कई खूबियों के चलते अनोखी है। इस मिसाइल को आसानी से सड़क के रास्ते ले जाकर देश के किसी भी इलाके में तैनात किया जा सकता है। इस खूबी के चलते पूर्व निर्धारित पांच हजार किमी की इसकी मारक क्षमता बढ़कर सात हजार तक पहुंच जाती है। इसको आसानी से इस तरह समझा जा सकता है। स्वीडन की राजधानी स्टाकहोम को बंगलोर से निशाना नहीं बनाया जा सकता क्योंकि बंगलोर से वहां की दूरी सात हजार किमी है लेकिन जब अग्नि-5 मिसाइल को अमृतसर से दागा जाएगा तो स्वीडन की राजधानी को भी निशाना बनाया जा सकेगा। देश के विभिन्न भागों में इसको तैनात करके कमोबेश पूरी दुनिया अग्नि पांच की जद में हो जाएगी। केवल उत्तरी और दक्षिण अमेरिका को छोड़ दें तो अब वह दिन दूर नहीं जब दुनिया का हर कोना हमारी अग्नि-5 के निशाने पर होगा।
अग्नि-5 मिसाइल: एक नजर
श्रेणी-अंतरमहाद्वीपीय बैलिस्टिक मिसाइल (आईसीबीएम)
इंजन: तीन चरणों वाला ठोस ईंधन
मारक क्षमता- 5000 किमी
प्रक्षेपण- 2011 के शुरुआत में
खूबी:
-दुनिया का कोना-कोना निशाने पर (उ.और द.अमेरिका छोड़कर)
-आसानी से सड़क द्वारा एक स्थान से दूसरे स्थान पर तैनाती
-देश की पहली कैनिस्टर्ड मिसाइल
-3 से 10 परमाणु अस्त्रों को ले जाने की क्षमता
- प्रत्येक अस्त्र से अलग-अलग निशाने तय किए जा सकने की खूबी
-एंटी बैलिस्टिक मिसाइल सिस्टम भेदने की क्षमता

Tired of tobacco smoking? Try E-Cigarette
What's E-Cigarette
ECigarette looks, feels and smokes just like a real cigarette, but has none of the harmful substances found in real cigarettes. It emits a virtually odorless vapor that simulates actual smoke, but dissipates quickly in the air.The secret to what makes the E-Cigarettes better than traditional smoking is what is inside this revolutionary product.
The internal structure:
E-Cigarettes are driven by modern microelectronic technology. The actual cigarette body is an integrated structure made up of a cartridge, an atomization chamber, a smart chip controller and built in lithium battery. In the front of the device is an operating mode indicator that lights up when you use it, a bit like a real cigarette. The most interesting part of the E-Cigarettes electronic cigarette is the atomization chamber. This is where the magic happens and this part of the device is responsible for creating the vapor like smoke, very much like a real cigarette. This vapor is a result of the nicotine dilution, that is found in the cartridge, heating up or atomizing. This is what produces the vapor that when inhaled gives the user the nicotine hit that smokers crave, but without the negative side effects of smoking tobacco.
It's important to note that, when you smoke the E-Cigarette, the tip of the cigarette also light up, not by flame but via an LED. The cigarette, for this reason will not produce ash or get shorter. Each cartridge is equivalent to about 20 real cigarettes.
When using the E-Cigarettes, the act of inhaling or smoking it produces the tactile and craving satisfaction traditional smokers seek, and the simulated smoke that is emitted is actually a vapor mist that harmlessly evaporates into the air within a few seconds.
Why E-cigarette
1. Help you quit smoking
If you are one of the millions of Americans each year who try to quit smoking, you know there are many tools out there to help you kick the habit. Tools like hypnosis, patches, prescription pills, just to name a few, are available to help break the cycle of dependence. One of the options out there that many of you have probably never heard of, is an electronic cigarette.
At first glance, images may come to mind that this device may be some kind of shock therapy device. In actuality, however, the electronic cigarette is a battery powered atomizer. When it is placed in the mouth, a small processor detects airflow and injects a small amount of fluid from a propylene glycol/nicotine cartridge into the atomizer which vaporizes the liquid. In essence, the electronic cigarette looks and behaves like a regular cigarette but delivers nicotine without dangerous by-products such as arsenic, carbon monoxide and tar.
By simulating normal smoking, without the harmful side effects, the electronic cigarette could be a stepping stone to a successfully quit smoking program.
2.No tar
Electronic cigarettes use vaporization, not combustion. Burning causes a chemical reaction that can produce many known cancer causing agents including tar.
3.Low cost
Un like tobacco cigarettes, the e-cigarette can be used over and over again. The cartridges are refillable using e-liquid and the battery is rechargeable. This is quite the opposite of a tobacco cigarette which is used up then tossed.
4.Green
No harm to others and No harm to the environment.
Nicotine solution
Nicotine solutions usually consist of nicotine diluted in either propylene glycol or glycerin, both common food additives. They also commonly have a variety of different flavorings added. Nicotine solutions sold separately for use in refillable cartridges are commonly referred to as "e-liquid" or "e-juice".
Solution is available in a variety of different flavors and nicotine concentrations. Nicotine concentrations range from high doses (to mimic the content of regular cigarettes) to midrange and low doses (that mimic the nicotine content of "light" and "ultralight" cigarettes). Solutions are also available which contain little or no nicotine.
For more details, see it at wikipedia..
Happy eSmoking !!~

Different Problems n Different Solutions
Difference between Focusing on Problems and Focusing on Solutions
Case 1
=======
When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found
out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow
down to the writing surface).
To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million.
They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down,
underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and
in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.
And what did the Russians do...?? They used a pencil.
Case 2
=======
One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soapbox, which happened in one of Japan 's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly! line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem.
Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with
high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soapboxes
that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt,
they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.
But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the
same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but
instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial
electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on,
and as each soapbox passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of
the line.
Moral: Always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible
solution that solves the problems. Always focus on solutions & not on
problems. So the end of the day the thing that really matters is HOW ONE
LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM and Resolve early.

Frauds involving GPS and Mobile Phones
This gives us something to think about with all our new electronic technology.
A couple of weeks ago a friend told me that someone she knew had their car broken into while they were at a football game. Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the car included a garage door remote control, some money and a GPS which had been prominently mounted on the dashboard.
When the victims got home, they found that their house had been ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen.
The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then used the garage remote control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house. The thieves knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so they knew how much time they had to clean out the house. It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents..
Something to consider if you have a GPS - don't put your home address in it. Put a nearby address (like a store or gas station) so you can still find your way home if you need to, but no one else would know where you live if your GPS were stolen.
I never thought of this.......
This lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet... Etc...was stolen.
20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago.'
When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number.. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.
Moral of the lesson:
Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list.
Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc....
And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back.
Also, when you're being text by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.
