As we rush through life!

In Washington, DC, at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, this man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes.  During that time, approximately 2,000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. About 3 minutes: The violinist received his first dollar.  A woman threw money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk. At 6 minutes: A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again. At 45 minutes: The musician played continuously.  Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while.  About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace.  The man collected a total of $32.  After 1 hour: He finished playing and silence took over.  No one noticed and no one applauded.  There was no recognition at all. No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world.  He played one of the most intricate pieces eve

IT Industries - The Savior



The social sites or dating sites are gaining more and more popularity by every passing days. People with access to internet mostly engaged themselves with these sites when they are free. In fact movies or TVs became popular as they offered a space in day to day life that is monotonous. The world of fantasy or depicting realty helps escape viewers for some time cutting down their stress level. Not that they are not popular any more, they still are firm in their place albeit with little intensity. Now the new entrant internet has replaced the movies or TVs at least with those having easy access to it.
In fact internet overtook the movie or TV shows in terms popularity because it offers to interact. This interaction has drawn the vast internet users to dating or social sites like Google’s Orkut or Tagged, Persoft and many more. These sites truly opened new vistas for millions of internet users all over the world. Now it is quite usual that a person sitting right in a .remote village of Myanmar is connected through internet to another in Los Angles, USA. He can chat with him, exchange ideas , explore business feasibilities across the globe. Earlier Hollywood movies might have brought the stars on the screen before the Myanmarees; now it is possible to interact! So, truly the internet has turned our planet to global village.
The immense potentials of internet in terms of data and information making available to anyone is revolutionary. Even during the current global meltdown, when the economy in most big economies are in a bad state, industries have slowed down their production due to lack of demands; workers are being laid off; unemployment and recession have overcast its shadow in vast part of global economy. Experts believe the current depression can match only with great depression of 1930s; that took no less than twenty years to recover and its recovery became faster due to Second World War, thanks to Hitler and associates!
As the great depression of last century could shorten its term due to devastation of world war II; as it offered the stupendous scope to rebuild that required many fold increase of industrial production, so this time it is going to be internet or the information technology. It too offers the great scope of expansion throughout the world and that requires the multi fold increase of IT related industrial production. Though there is hiccup in the information technology industries evident currently but there are signs of recovery already. In fact this industry so far has been proceeding forward with innovation; that demanded much investment on research and study. Now with the global recession setting in, it can go for expansion since that would absorb the excess manpower. There is a tremendous scope for these industries in the entire third world. Next to power, the entire third world is waiting for the exposure to this new technological revolution.

A "Bullet proof" of our trueself !

The recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai has raised another question. It is not from the public in general;in India public,s voice is not suppressed but simply ignored. Our great politicians with their hide that could put Rhinos ashamed have learnt the best art of governing in a way that can match a dictator but unfortunately with democracy! This time it is no lesser than a cabinet minister Anatuley; who raised the question about those bullet proof jackets , what mocked its name presenting us the bullet ridden bodies of it's wearers. That too, a man like Karkare, a man of principal and unearthed the skeletons of Malegaon massacre masterminds, digging the moral grave of our politicians. The other question is who the man was to order all the three of them together, who were shoveling the Malegaon episode! That too, they were sent to a comparatively far less hazardous terror spot. Who killed them? It reminds me inscriptions on the back of highway trucks "My India is great"

DARJEELING - THE HISTORY

“DARJEELING”, the very name of this hill station in India reminds you the colonial days and tea. Because it was the British colonizers; who were constantly on look out for cooler places, obviously in India it uses to be in hills what would remind them their home. The temperature in tropical countries, particularly in summer months use to be unbearable for them for mercury touching anywhere between 35 to 44 degree Celsius! In India Shimla and Darjeeling earned their reputation for hosting the colonial administrators with their staffs with families during summer months for running colonial administration for years. Though with English rulers, gone are the colonial days and prestige of Darjeeling, but it still holds name in world for its tea. It still the producer of world number one flavored tea and sold at a price, unthinkable for we ordinary mortals! Off late, a new hue for Gorkhaland is raised time and again. It stared in the decades of 90s, lot of agitations, number of strikes call

MAHA NEPAL OR GREATER NEPAL -- The Latest Craze in Nepal; PART - I

Parvez Iqbal Siddique; a correspondent in north India, wrote back in 2005 an article citing the boiling Nepalese’s sentiment for ‘Maha Nepal’. The new Maoist government in Nepal is all the way supporting the demand for ‘Maha Nepal’ that should chunk out a good portion of Indian territory covering the area between Nepal’s border and the Tista valley in east and up to Kangra ( Sutlej river) in west. However, this news grossly escaped the notice of Indian politicians and policy makers keep afar the Indian citizens. No furor rose anywhere in this issue.  Many articles are published since past two decades in various Nepalese newspapers and magazines in this issue. In support of this claim, the promulgators of ‘Maha Nepal’ are citing history.  They claim the ancient Nepal was far bigger than what it is now, though that goes without any historical evidence. During the regime of King Prithvi Narayan Shah, in 1744 Nepalese army went on war for re-integration of its lost territory. The war bro
