An ear in Patna

Indian Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav’s mind is bordering on depression since his Rashtriya Janata Dal’s defeat in the Bihar Assembly elections. Gone are his frequent one-liners to newsmen. The same applies to his zest and swagger. In Parliament, he leaves it to his minister of State, R.Velu, to answer most of the queries.

These days, Lalu is spending more time in the central hall, than in the House, a mobile phones glued to his ear. Who does he keep talking to? It seems he has made an arrangement with an RJD MLA in Patna (capital of Bihar), who sits in the Assembly and dials Lalu’s number so that the leader can know about the going-on first hand!

NOBEL HEROSE

Barry Marshall
Robin Warren
Yves Chauvin
Richard R. Schrock

It’s that time of the year again. When the Nobel Prize winners are announced there’s a lot of goodwill and cheer in the air, a bit of he-didn’t deserve-it and a pinch of scandal. So when Australians Barry Marshall and Robin Warren were told they had won the Nobel Prize or medicine, they greeted the news with disbelief. After all, though it has been 23 years since the duo proved that the H. pylori bacteria causes peptic ulcer, skeptics still hung on to the old causes: stress and spicy food. Receiving the Nobel Prize is the last word in this argument, as it is for French scientist Yves Chauvin and Americans Robert H. Grubbs and Richard R. Schrock who share the prize for chemistry. It is an acknowledgement of their work in perfecting metathesis, a method of organic synthesis, which has helped make the manufacture of plastic and pharmaceuticals a greener option.

Roy Glauber
John Hall
Robert J. Aumann
Thomas C. Schelling

Space travel will get that futuristic edge thanks to Roy Glauber and John Hall to the US and Germany’s Theoder Haensch who created a measuring stick to measure time and distance with extreme accuracy. Perhaps, the strangest combos of joint winners are Israeli Robert J. Aumann and American Thomas C. Schelling, who were awarded the prize for economics. Aumann is a mathematician who loves dabbling in the technical while Schelling in the typical conventional economist; both, however, believe that the game theory (where a group of people take decisions that affect each other) is pivotal to society.

Mohammed EIBaradei
Harold Pinter

Now, to the controversies. When the International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohammed EIBaradei got the Nobel Peace Prize, there were those who questioned his eligibility for the award. But the fact remains that EIBaradei has manoeuvred through sticky situations: irking the US by persisting that Iraq had no nukes and taking Libya through disarmament. The award acknowledges the courage of a man who says Atoms are for peace, not war, and work to ensure it. Then there’s the prize for literature, which after much deliberation went to British playwright Harold Pinter. Meanwhile, Knut Ahnlund, a member of the Swedish Academy (which decides the prize), is not done with spilling venom on last year’s winner, Elfriede Jelinek. He termed the author’s work a mass of text that appears shoveled together without a trace of artistic structure. The other big prize for literature, the Man Booker, was also awarded amid much drama. Critics panned winner John Banville as being plain lucky and faulted the jury for not going for stronger contenders like Julian Barnes.

There is another post below, about Miss World 2005.

Miss Iceland win Miss World

A 21-year old anthropology and law student Unnur Birna Vilhjalmsdottir from Iceland crowned as Miss World 2005. Unnur Birna Vilhjalmsdottir was chosen from among 102 contestants at a ceremony on the southern Chinese resort island of Hainan.

The dark-haired winner was born in the Icelandic capital Reykjavik, but grew up in a small town called Seltjarnarnes. Unnur spent her summer holidays working as a police officer at an Icelandic airport. Her motto was: 'you are what you do' or 'you are what you make.

Second place went to Dafne Molina Lona, 23, from Mexico. Ingrid Marie Rivera Santos, 22, from Puerto Rico, came third after tens of thousands worldwide had voted per e-mail, SMS and per telephone. Viewers had selected two candidates from six regions of the world for the final. Three more candidates reached the final round from additional contests.

The 55th Miss World beauty pageant was broadcast live from the Beauty Crown Theatre to about two billion viewers in 200 countries across the globe. Actress Angela Chow, who is famous in Hong Kong, and U.S. television star Tim Vincent, presented the two-hour show.

Miss World 2005 final today

Will Miss India Sindhura Gadde be the new Miss World? Sindhura is making her last-minute preparations to put up a great show for the nation at the 2005 Miss World pageant. A total of 115 beauties represent their countries in Miss World 2005 being held in Sanya in China. With a record number of contestants, Miss World 2005 is expected to be the most lavish extravaganza in the pageant’s 54-year history.

Story: WHINING & DINING

Mosquito spotted Iguana basking near the pond. She flew up to him and said, Hey, Iguana, I just saw a farmer digging up potatoes that were as big as me!

Iguana was annoyed at being disturbed and snapped, What’s a mosquito compared t a potato? I’d rather be deaf than here such nonsense! And he stuck twigs in his ears and stomped off.

When Python saw Iguana pass be, he said a friendly Hello. Iguana seemed not to hear. Iguana is angry, thought Python. I better hide, and quickly slithered into Rabbit’s hole.

Rabbit was so startled she jumped out of her burrow and hared away. Crow saw her and cawed loudly in alarm. Monkey heard Crow and leaped from branch to branch, shrieking disaster.

Crack! A branch broke under Monkey’s weight. It fell into Owl’s nest, crushing one of her babies. When Owl returned, she was overcome by sorrow and stopped hooting. The Sun did not rise the next day as he depended on Owl’s wake up call.

Lion summoned all the animals. He asked Owl why she hadn’t woke the Sun.

Monkey killed my Owl, she said sadly. I am in no mood to awaken the Sun.

When Monkey was questioned the entire chain of events was revealed. It was iguana who had caused all the trouble! Iguana, of course, didn’t hear a thing because he still had twigs in his ears Lion pulled them out, chuckling.

Now, iguana, what ‘s all this? Python says you snubbed him this morning.

What! I never…I never even heard him! Stuttered Iguana. It was Mosquito! She narrated a tall tale that spoiled my whole morning!

When Owl heard they’d found the culprit, she let out a loud hoot. The Sun rose and the animals cheered.

That’s better! said Lion. But where is Mosquito? She must be punished! All the animals looked around eagerly. But Mosquito was nowhere to be found. She had been eavesdropping all the while and felt so wretched, she dared not show her face. To this day, she suffers a guilty conscience. She buzzes and whines in people’s ears, even as she dines on their blood: “Zeeee zeeee…. Is everyone still angry with me?”

And an irritated slap is all she gets for an answer!

- Adapted from an African folktale retold by Verna Aardema. This story was made into a 9-minute animation film in 1984 and is used in classroom project all over the USA.

Aaru

Click to see big

This is a Photoshop, photo

Saran, successful director has turned into a producer. Gemini Productions, launched by him has produced Aaru. Aaru has different meanings an abbreviation of Arumugam, which is another name for the god Subramaniam, a number, a river or a signal to cool down.

Suriya plays the role of Aaru, turbulent and angry young man like an overflowing wild river, who cares little for consequences, does what he pleases, as he likes, and who needs to cool down. Obviously and expectedly, the movie promises to be an action flick. My Favorite Trisha is the heroine, and she is upbeat and excited about her performance in this movie. Much of it has been shot in and around Chennai, unlike most of Hari’s earlier movies. Direction is by Hari, music by Devi Hari Prasad. The music is already hitting the top charts and will boost the movies image and popularity. I like the song Thottutae Thottutae...

In Ghajini, Suriya had the half-crazed look of a person with a short memory span, and he was covered with writing, tattoos, etc. In Aaru, Suriya’s hair-style was designed in London to provide the exact touch to his character in this movie. Since the super success of Ghajini, much is expected from Aaru.

Aaru is Releasing this Friday December 9th.

No Cash, No Credit Card, only Mobile Phone

What’s new? An electronic wallet on your mobile phone

The very usage mobile phone could become an anachronism soon, with the kind of features added on to that beeping device in your pocket. Today, the device has become a personal communicator camera, email, text, organiser, chat, MP3 player and a video recorder. Add to this a revolutionary new task, an electronic wallet.

Airtel recently launched its mChq service, a first-of-a-kind credit card on the mobile SIM card in Delhi and Mumbai. It is a payment option between customers and retailers using, not your card, but your mobile phone. With the launch of this new service mobile phones now turn into virtual wallets and there is a chance that the entire concept of payment may change. It completely transforms the way people shop. This is the first time technology is taking off for civilian use in the country, though it has had varying degrees of success in the Philippines, Japan and South Korea, where it was first introduced.

So how does it work? With the help of a special software-embedded SIM card which is enabled to conduct cash transactions like a credit card. Airtel plans to replace the SIM cards of its subscribers with the mChq-enabled smart card, free of cost. Once the card is in your phone, it can work as your mobile wallet at shops, cinemas or services, which have signed in to the service.

For example, if you are buying a movie ticket for two for Rs 300, once you request for the tickets at the counter, the sales executive will issue a message to the back-end with the number of the customer and the payment amount. While the central computers of the service provider authenticate the merchant and the amount, a message is sent to the customer’s phone telling him about the shop (in this case your cinema hall) and the amount to be charged. To confirm the transaction, the customer has to punch in his four-digit password and send a Yes or No reply. If Yes, Rs 300 is debited from your account and confirmation is sent to the ticket counter, which then issues the ticket.

The whole transaction takes less than a minute, just like the credit card swiped at a shop counter.

Airtel is offering the service in tie-up with ICICI Bank and Visa card. The entire process applying for a smart SIM with mobile wallet, determining a person’s credit limit and the type of payment option (debit or credit) would be simpler for Airtel customers who also hold accounts or cards with ICICI Bank, since the account limits can be determined immediately. While the options will first be limited to upmarket bookstores and malls. For this, it plans to tap two kinds of markets: remote merchants with huge customer bases, like electric supply companies and large chain stores. It’s a technological and a mindset breakthrough. Airtel officials claim that the customer has to pay only for the message he has to send to confirm a transaction. The money sharing between the mobile operators, the bank and the credit card service provider with the merchant will work like the arrangement between credit card companies and retailers. Airtel officials refused to divulge the percentage of sharing agreed with ICICI Bank and Visa.

In Mumbai, State Bank of India plans to launch SBI Visa Pre-Paid cards on the mChq platform. This card will first be introduced only for Airtel subscribers at IIT Mumbai, where the idea of mChq was born under the guidance of Dr Deepak Phatak. Students, faculty and staff of IIT and people living in surrounding areas can pay for their purchases with their Airtel mobile phones. The service will be available to all Airtel subscribers who have an SBI Pre-Paid card on and around IIT campus at Powai. This service will extend to other IIT campuses in the country soon. With this technology, it is a easy way to changing the concept of money and payment.

Considering that mobile phone usage increased from 3.3 to 5.9 crore last year, there are tremendous possibilities for a quick pick-up. While other cellular operators are also in a race to match the new facility, Airtel officials claim they have at least a three-month lead.

I have put a new post (Sing on Ice) in 2050.

World Disability Day December 3

The annual observance of the International Day of Disabled Persons, 3 December, aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well being of persons with disabilities. It also seeks to increase awareness of gains to be derived from the integration of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life. The theme of the Day is based on the goal of full and equal enjoyment of human rights and participation in society by persons with disabilities, established by the World Programme of Action concerning Disabled Persons, adopted by the General Assembly in 1982.

The World Health Organization estimates that there are 600 million disabled people worldwide, about 10% of the world population. It is also estimated that about 80% of all disabled people worldwide live in developing countries. More and more, disability is seen as a social issue, which is not only based on medical reasons. The organization Disabled Peoples International defines disability as the interaction between the person with impairment and environmental and attitudinal barriers he or she may face. Therefore the reasons for disability are always complex and can only be understood within the context of societies and cultures.

World AIDS Day December 1

World AIDS Day is an annual health campaign aimed at raising global awareness of HIV and AIDS. As well as tackling the stigma and ignorance that continues to surround HIV and AIDS, organizations such as the National AIDS Trust aim to highlight the fact that no one has been cured - despite recent advances in HIV drug treatments.

About HIV and AIDS

HIV is one of the biggest social, economic and health challenges in the world. It is a global emergency claiming over 8,000 lives every day. In fact 5 people die of AIDS every minute. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. This is the virus known to cause AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). If someone is HIV-positive, it means they have been infected with the virus.

A person infected with HIV does not have AIDS until the virus seriously damages their immune system, making them vulnerable to a range of infections, some of which can lead to death. HIV is transmitted through body fluids in particular blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk, in fact there are only four ways you can become HIV positive.

In 2005, over 3 million people acquired HIV, which means there are now over 40 million people living with HIV and AIDS. Despite best efforts from governments, non-profit organisations and healthcare practitioners around the world, HIV and AIDS is still having huge global impact. In the UK, there are fewer people dying of AIDS but incidences of HIV in the UK. With testing and proper treatment, through anti-HIV drugs, many people in the UK are now able to halt or delay the damage caused by HIV.

How is HIV transmitted?

You can become infected with the HIV virus if you have unprotected vaginal or anal sex (without a condom), or share a needle with a person who is HIV positive. The HIV virus lives in blood, sperm and vaginal fluid.

Other routes of transmission for HIV include HIV-infected blood product or donated organs, and from mother to baby (a women who is HIV-positive may pass on the virus to her unborn child during pregnancy or birth, or while breastfeeding). It's important to point out, however, that there are a number of steps a pregnant woman can take to reduce the chance of passing on HIV to her child, and blood products and donated organs are routinely tested for HIV in the UK. HIV can't be transmitted through kissing, cuddling, shaking hands, insect or animal bites, using a public toilet or swimming pool, or by sharing food or drink.

Diagnosis and treatment

HIV is usually diagnosed using a blood test that detects antibodies to the virus. It may take up to 12 weeks after infection for these antibodies to be made, so an HIV test may initially be negative. However, all children born to infected mothers receive some of their mother's antibodies to HIV across the placenta. These may persists for up to 18 months, making antibody tests inaccurate. Newer blood tests can detect tiny quantities of the virus in the infant's blood, giving an accurate diagnosis in about 95 per cent of HIV-infected infants by three months of age.

AIDS is defined as a positive test for HIV combined with either an opportunistic infection (an infection that only occurs when your immune system isn't working properly, such pneumocystis carinii pneumonia) or an abnormally low level of a type of white blood cell called a CD4 lymphocyte (a count of 200 or less is abnormal - normal levels range from 600 to 1,000). Drug treatments, using a combination of several drugs known as highly active antiretroviral therapy, have greatly improved the outlook in AIDS. But drugs can't cure the infection and side effects and drug resistance are still a major problem. Other therapies can greatly improve quality of life.

Prevention

The risk of transmission of the HIV virus from a mother to her child can be greatly reduced by using a combination of antiviral drugs. Choosing an elective caesarean delivery and, when possible, avoiding breastfeeding may also help to reduce the risk.

Some interesting discoveries that happened this month

November 1 may be remembered for a remarkable and horrifying human achievement: For, in 1952, the U.S. detonated the first hydrogen bomb. They also set off the first underground atom bomb test on November 29, 1951. Alfred Nobel patented Dynamite on November 25, in 1867. Later, of course, he decided to institute the world's largest prize for the cause of peace.

On November 2, 2000, the first residents of the International Space Station entered. November 3 is also associated with a Space first: Laika, a Siberian husky, became the first living creature, when she was launched into orbit in 1957. Many years later, on November 13, 1971, Mariner 9 became the first spacecraft to orbit a planet other than our earth: Mars.

The construction of the Kariba High Dam across the Zambesi River began on November 6, 1956. This dam altered the pulsing (seasonal flooding cycles) caused by the river, with many associated adverse effects on the ecology and estuary downstream. The Suez Canal was opened in Egypt on November 17, 1896.

Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-rays on November 8, in 1895. Gottlieb Daimler unveiled the first motorcycle on November 10, 1885. Patents awarded include the electrical hearing aid (patented by Miller Reese on November 15, 1901), and the first zoom lens (patented by F. G. Back, on November 23, 1948). France witnessed the first balloon flight, which took place in Paris, on November 21, 1783. The world's first tidal power station also opened in this country, on November 26, 1966. The world's first videotape broadcast was aired on November 30, in 1956.

Afghan missed to save an Innocent

It was clear from the beginning that unlike the kidnappers of three Indian workers in Iraq last year, Maniappan Kutty’s abductors didn’t want to negotiate. Despite Indian opening every channel to talk to them the kidnappers didn’t leave any call-centre number for India to reach them.

The gave a 48-hour deadline to the Border Roads Organization, a Defence ministry organization that builds strategically important roads in border areas, to abandon its work and go home. Even the abduction and the subsequent news of Kutty’s murder were conveyed through a news agency on November 22, three days after he was abducted. They weren’t after ransom money. They just wanted us out and the road work to stop. Taliban-linked violence in Afghanistan has claimed 1,400 lives, including that of Kutty, this year. Kutty, who has been with the BRO for 16 years, was abducted along with three others. The incident raised a big question about the security of India’s overseas strategic interests. The BRO was involved with the construction of the 219-km road linking Delaram in Afghanistan with Zaranj in Iran. The road will provide landlocked Afghanistan an access to the Iranian ports of Chabahar and Bandarabbas. The road is also important for India, as Iran is the only entry point for India into Afghanistan.

It was this road and not Kutty who hails form Alappuzha district in Kerala that the kidnappers were after. Though New Delhi authorized Rakesh Sood, Indian ambassador to Afghanistan, to talk to the kidnappers, no one came forward to negotiate. Since the kidnappers left no number to call, Delhi had no option but to leave it to the Hamid Karzai government in Kabul to trace Kutty or his kidnappers. The kidnappers would have spared Kutty’s life only if India abandoned all its strategic interests in Afghan. However, it also appears that the abductors overplayed their cards. Undeterred by the cowardly and brutal murder of a brave Indian, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Conveyed to President Karzai India’s unshaken resolve to assist Afghan in rebuilding the country.

On the home front, the Central government promised Kutty’s family a Rs10-lakh compensation. His children’s would get free education up to the secondary level. Kutty’s wife would get a liberalized pension for life and a job in a public-sector undertaking. (This money and pension will not give them happy; it’s very hard to live without father). Meanwhile, in Afghan, work on some stretches of the road link has been suspended because of their isolation. But officials say the project will continue. Lt.-Gen. K.S. Rao, director-general of BRO, would soon leave for Afghan to inspect of his men, which is entrusted with the governor of Nimroz.

As many as 290 Indians are working on the road project alone. Many more work in scattered projects such as education, police training, hospital and civil transport. In fact, in some places like Mazar-e-Sharif, Heart, Shebargan and Kandaher, the only decent hospitals are those run by small Indian teams of four to six doctors, nurses and paramedics.

Our Indian went to Afghansitan to help them on the Development works; it’s the duty of Afghan government to give security for them, but they have failed to give security. When the Iraq militants kidnap 3 Indians the Central government take full action for there release, but this time terrorist dint give much time to think, so they have missed to take action.

Help Please

It has gone a month the Earthquake hit Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir, but many people in Pakistan occupied Kashmir and J & K dint get any Relief. In Pakistan alone above 90,000 people have been died, thousands of people are injured and some are now also very series, what is the reason for very series, because they dint get proper medical treatment. They dint get any proper painkiller and medicine for infectious disease. In remote areas, people life was very pity. They have loss all there connection for the Global and live like an Island people. They dint get any food rightly, now there future is question?

The state Jammu and Kashmir is in India? I don’t know. I think, we all forget the People of J&K. And the people in Pakistan also our people, before our independence we all are Indians. Now our people are suffering in the Earthquake, they dint get proper relief. When the Earthquake attack Maharashtra in 1995 and Gujarat in 2000, when the Tsunami affect South India last year, we all give many relief to them, through Money, thinks clothes and food, Now the Quack attacked out J&K and Pakistan. What we people did for them? Nothing. This incident reminds me that we dint give much thing for our people.

When some incidents like Earthquacks, cyclones and Tsunami’s affect. The Satellite Channels and newspaper collect Relief funds and things, but now they also forget our people. Why we for get this incident? I am worried about our people, when they return to there normal life. I request all of you to help our people who are affected by earthquake, in Jammu & Kashmir and Pakistan. Please.

India will Vote on Nuclear deal in IAEA?

It is not just a race against time, but also a race over a hundred hurdles. Both India and the US would like to see the nuclear deal inked when George Bush comes to Delhi early next year, but the going seems to be tougher than anticipated. For once, it is not just the rhetorical left or the atomically small pacifist community who are crying foul, but even hawks in the far right.

The main problem is lack of clarity about the details of the deal. Even senior officials, including those who negotiated the July 18 joint statement, are giving their own spins to the deal, throwing both the strategic and the scientific communities into confusion

The problem started when the non-proliferation hawks in the US Congress pointed out that the US was changing its laws once and for all whereas India was only making an executive decision from which it could backtrack any time. The state department then tried to pacify the Congress, saying India would first separate its military programme from the civilian programme. These are preconditions [before we] actually present this agreement to the Congress, the state department spokesman said. But the Indian Parliament and public had been told that there would be no preconditions. The joint statement had mentioned that the process of identification of civil and military facilities would be in a phased manner. The US was now asking India to first execute the separation, submit the civil installations to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards, and then ask the US to change its export control laws.

The Indian strategic community saw this as an act of arm-twisting. The trouble was that India, by filing its civil facilities before IAEA, would be making an international commitment, from which it could never go back. And still there was no guarantee that the US Congress would agree to change its export laws. As the criticism on the deal spread, Ambassador David Mulford did some firefighting. There is some misunderstanding on the eve of his departure for Washington to lobby for the deal with Congressmen. India [only] has to prepare a plan [of separation]. If the US [administration] finds the plan credible, it will take the legislation to the Congress. The actual separation and opening-up to IAEA will be required only after the US amends its laws.

Thus the who-does-what-first has been sorted out for now, but there are a lot more issues threatening to wreck the deal. For one, would India have the freedom to decide which facilities would be civil? A token separation will not be acceptable. "We can’t commit till they show the plan, which will be examined by US nuclear experts. There is total confusion on this. The July 18 joint statement had said that India would place its civilian facilities voluntarily under IAEA safeguards. This was interpreted to mean that India would decide which all facilities to be opened up. But US experts expect all our civilian facilities to be put under safeguards. Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran who, in a lecture at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, said complicated the issue, I see no reason why India should not put all its civil nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards.

The concern is that the US would not allow India to retain any major facility in the military list. The nuclear powers have placed only 11 centres [six of them in the US] under safeguards, pointed by national security advisers, whereas the Carnegie Endowment has already listed about 60 Indian facilities as civilian. So if the separation plan does not include a good number among the 60, the US is likely to call it a token separation. That would also mean, from the critics’ point of view, that India is not getting the same benefits and advantages as other such states, as promised in the July 18 statement. The five nuclear powers have the freedom to commit only a handful of there hundreds of nuclear facilities to IAEA, whereas, India would be opening the entire civil nuclear spectrum to inspection.

Another hurdle is about reversibility. The US view is that what we put under safeguards are forever, The US is allowed to sign an IAEA safeguards agreement on a list of civilian facilities of their choice, and the US government can withdraw any of these facilities from the list any time they wish. This option, the US has clarified, will not be given to India. Which means that the deal would tie the hands of any future Prime Minister. In case a hostile neighbour builds more bombs, India still would not have the freedom to acquire more plutonium to build more bombs, if all the civil facilities are put under safeguards.

Mulford, who is trying to salvage the deal, did not have much to offer here. The plan has to be shown to the Congress. Once these are put up under safeguards list that is permanent. Critics are also not happy with the commitment on no further testing. After the Pokharan tests of 1998, India declared a unilateral moratorium on testing. But by committing to continue, India’s unilateral moratorium on nuclear testing, India is now making it a multilateral commitment. This is seen as tantamount to restricting future governments from developing the arsenal in case need arises.

However, experts fears, If the moratorium is violated, even the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) can act against us. That means even the civil nuclear programme, which would be dependent on uranium supplies by the NSG, would go for a toss. Given the fact that India wants to develop 30,000 mw of energy from nuclear sources, this would send the economy into a tailspin. There is criticism even from the strategic far right. Defence analysis believes that the US has made India fall into a uranium economy trap. Since imported uranium will enter India’s nuclear fuel cycle at an early stage, all the facilities down the line will have to be put under safeguards. The US has wanted us to get into the uranium economy. If we get into plutonium economy, we are independent. Now with the deal, we are hampering the plutonium economy too. Experts believe that instead of trying to salvage the deal, India should let it collapse. Let the damn thing fail in the US Congress. That is our only hope.

Incidentally, here the left also agrees. Both the CPI (M) and the CPI have warned the government not to vote against Iran at the IAEA governing body meeting on November 24. If Manmohan Singh, to save his government, listens to the warning, an angry US Congress would refuse to legislate nuclear cooperation with India. Happy ending!

At 12.00am they came, when he call me 5 days back, he gave me a test, when they too come to meet me, I should identify him who is aatma and arjuna. But I failed in his test, one time when I put my photo on the blog he told, I will be very dark than you, with that, I imagine him different. The aatma was light darker, so I thought he should be Arjuna.

Arjuna was look like a foreigner. It was a very happy meet; they too are very friendly and very enjoyable persons. It was a very fun. They too look smart; it was very nice chat with them. He brought me chocolate, I think he had thought me as a small kid. :) We took photos, and we exchange our words, Arjuna told about his love, he had loved atleast 13 girls!! including Asin Now he had changed his love, because all of them have a love with Asin, including me. Arjuna is very nice guy, i ask him did u saw all places in U.K., he told he will go to collage and come to home,(vedu vitta collage and collage vitta vedu) he had not much places.

My parents compel them to have lunch, but they have eaten some prasadham in Baba temple, that one is worry for me. Arjuna was a food lover. Aatma was a soft person, but Arjuna is opposite to him, (just a joke, don’t take it series Arjuna) Arjuna is a devote of Sri Satya Sai Baba. Aatma and Arjuna teasing each other and enjoying their life. Aatma is leaving to Vellore today evening to see his parents. Arjuna is a big fan of Captain Vijayakanth, when he see a vijayakanth film in TV he was tried to Wisely, he was telling about his thalaivar praise.

Taj Mahal Released

More than Rs 100 crores has gone into Akbar Khan's Taj Mahal-An Eternal Love Story is at last releasing Today worldwide along with its dubbed version in Tamil. Sarya Jehan (granddaughter of the melody queen Noorjehan), a half French and a half Pakistani actress, plays the role of Mumtaz, the symbol of eternal love. Zulfi Syed and Kabir Bedi play the young and old Shah Jahan, one of the greatest lovers in history.

It took four years to complete this epic. Taj Mahal has haunting music by veteran Naushad. Choreography by Saroj Khan and costumes by Anna Singh are the other highlights of the film, which was shot in the Mehrangarh fort in Jodhpur, the Dal Lake in Kashmir and Mumbai studios. Taj Mahal is an eternal favorite with the audience. The first film on the subject, which came in the 1950s, was a hit. Akbar Khan is proud that he has been able to recreate the Mughal era in all its splendour.

Happy Children’s Day

Jawarharlal Nehru


November 14 is celebrated as Children's Day. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was born on this day in 1889. He was a great statesman and possessed a remarkable, charming and multi-dimensional personality. His affection for children was well known. Even in the midst of a hectic and relentless schedule, he always found time for children. He liked to mingle and play with them. They enjoyed his company as much as he enjoyed theirs. Every year on November 14, he used to meet many children at a mammoth rally. The children affectionately called him Chacha Nehru.

Nehru was born in an aristocratic family in Allahabad. His father, Motilal Nehru, was a lawyer and freedom fighter, and his mother was Swarup Rani. His ancestors were from the Kashmir valley. His father engaged Brooks, an English tutor, to coach him at home. After his early education, he went to England for further studies. He was educated at Harrow and later joined Trinity College, Cambridge. He was in the college for three years. At the same time, he came under the influence of socialistic ideas, the impact of which shaped his future political philosophy. In 1910, he graduated from Cambridge. He wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and joined the Inner Temple, London to pursue studies in Law. In the summer of 1912 he was called to the Bar and in autumn the same year he returned to India and joined the Allahabad High Court for legal practice.

He joined the Congress and was influenced by nationalists and freedom fighters like Annie Besant, Balagangadhar Tilak and Gopalakrishna Gokhale. Later, in 1916 he met Gandhiji who soon became not only his mentor but also his friend, philosopher and guide. Gradually, he was drawn deeper and deeper into the vortex of the freedom struggle.

The British imprisoned him many times but his jail terms proved a blessing in disguise highly productive in terms of creative writing. During his stay in prison he wrote Glimpses of World History, Discovery of India and his Autobiography. He presided over the destiny of India during the most tumultuous and turbulent period of its history. The post-Partition communal carnage witnessed unprecedented violence and mayhem. As the Prime Minister, he faced the greatest challenge of his life.

But he deftly handled sensitive issues like Partition of the country and tackled critical situations with a fair but firm hand and the nation, as Gandhiji had predicted, remained safe in his hands. He died on May 27, 1964. Though 40 years have elapsed since he left this world, Panditji continues to live in the hearts and minds of millions of children across the country.

Delhi Blast a View Part 2

Investigators believe that the blasts were meant to be a reminder of the ones in Mumbai in 1993, thereby indicating a far too obvious-for-comfort Pakistan-connection. The Mumbai blasts and the latest one in Delhi are similar in execution, aimed at fuelling communal tensions and even the explosive used RDX may be the same.

In Sarojini Market, the bomb was placed near a gas cylinder for maximum effect and in the DTC bus the seat where the bag was kept is said to be above the CNG cylinders. Iron nails and screws were packed into the bomb, a feature of the explosives used in Mumbai in 1993. (In the first major success in an extradition battle, the CBI today brought back one of India's most wanted terrorists Abu Salem, a prime accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts along with his girl-friend Monica Bedi after a three-year legal process in Portugal.)

But, in the Mumbai blasts, Dawood Ibrahim’s and Tiger Memon’s boys made crucial mistakes and a grenade went off accidentally in a vehicle carrying explosives. In the Parliament attack, the cell phones found on the body of one of the dead led the Special Cell to the others. This time the Delhi Police, with no specific clues, have adopted the only strategy they are left with: sweep every inch of the floor. On the night of the blast, the police called for dossiers of criminals linked with Kashmir-based groups and visited Zakir Nagar, a Muslim-majority locality near Jamia Milia University, for information about new tenants.

The walled city also had visitors from the Special Cell. More than 20 Kashmiri youths were taken for interrogation to the Civil Lines camp, but, Special Cell, denied having detained them. In-between, Kashmir-based Islamic Inqilab Mehaz claimed responsibility for the blasts. This group was set up in 1996 with Lashkar-e-Toiba connections. They dint take there words seriously. A possible lead is some cell phone numbers, which were active in the blast sites minutes before the incident. Some of these calls were made to Pakistan. One immediate lead was a man in Saharanpur in western Uttar Pradesh who had made a call to Pakistan. But it turned out that he had a relative there.

The suspect: Mohammad Nawab holding the police sketch


The police are checking whether LeT militant Mohammed Arif’s conviction in the Red Fort attack case the same week was the provocation for the blasts; the Intelligence Bureau and the Special Cell have questioned Arif and his wife. Investigators are interrogating a Mohammad Nawab, who allegedly resembles the police sketch of the man who left the bomb in the bus. This case might take some time to crack. What is worrying is that with terrorists still at large, the possibility of a second wave cannot be ruled out.


On 8th November Police and intelligence authorities in Jammu and Kashmir said they have made the first substantial breakthrough in investigations of the October 29 serial bombing of New Delhi.

Ghulam Mohammad Mohiuddin, an alleged Hizb-ul-Mujahideen operative from the Banihal area of the district of Doda, was detained by troops of the 12 Rashtriya Rifles in a search operation on Sunday. Police and intelligence authorities brought him to Jammu late on Monday night for interrogation. Mohiuddin told to Police that a Banihal area Hizb ul-Mujahideen commander, Abdul Hamid, assigned him to the New Delhi operation. Mohiuddin told his interrogators that his services were requisitioned by the Lashkar-e-Taiba, which said it needed someone familiar with the capital to aid an ongoing operation.

When the Earthquake attack the Kashmir and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, Army and Police of India and Pakistan told all terrorist were died in Quack, what happened now?

Yesterday also The Al-Qaeda Terrorist done a serial bomb blast that targeted three U.S. owned hotels in Amman, Jordan, killed 57 persons and injuring 300 more.

Delhi Blast a View Part 1

It is a big post, so I separate it in Part 1 & 2.

Investigators tracking the Delhi blasts have realized that they are up against the best in the business. The three blasts that rocked the capital on October 29 were perhaps the cleanest leaving almost no clues serial bomb blasts in India. The police do not have a single lead to the culprits.

Synchronized bombing made the work of the police difficult. The bombs went off in three places, the police had to deal with too many other things than catching the criminals. They had to search for explosives at other locations, attend hoax calls, take the injured to hospital and also maintain order in other crowded parts of the city. The city went into panic mode, the terrorists made a quiet exit. Cell phone networks in blast affected areas Pahargunj and Sarojini Nagar were disrupted minutes after the blast. The Delhi Police had jammed the networks so that the bombers would not be able to contact their team members. Given that the lead-time the time the bomber had to escape after planting the bomb was suspected to be about 10 to 20 minutes, the police assumed that the terrorists were in the vicinity of the blasts. The priority was to prevent further incidents that night.

The Pahargunj and Sarojini Market are two of the most congested places in Delhi; it was difficult for people to recall having seen anyone suspicious. These are places where you have to wedge between the people in front of you to move on. The Sarojini Market and Pahargunj investigations seem to be leading towards dead-ends. The police believe the explosives were kept in a cycle-rickshaw in Pahargunj and inside a fruit-juice shop in the heart of Sarojini Market. In Govindpuri (third bomb blast area), the terrorists made a mistake. A third bomber (since the blasts happened in quick succession, it is believed that they were planted by three persons) had boarded a DTC bus and kept a bag on a seat.

When conductor asked him to take a ticket, the man quickly got out. Seeing an unattended bag on the seat, conductor became suspicious and took it to the driver. Driver, who saw wires inside, threw it out of the window immediately. The bomb went off, critically injuring him. The Special Cell sought the help of a passenger who supposedly sat near the bomber and the conductor to draw a portrait of the suspect. By then, three days had passed. The police admit the portrait is not accurate as none of the passengers or the conductor had a good look at the suspect.

Forensic science too did not help much in providing leads. Sources said that only pieces of the battery used in the detonators were found at the blast scene, though bomb squads from the National Security Guard scanned the area for two days. The explosive used is suspected to be RDX but police are not sure. Electronic timers are said to have been used.

Investigators believe that the blasts were… (Continue tomorrow)

Will the Bird Flu affect India?. Is below.

Will the Bird Flu affect India?

India prepares for a possible avian flu outbreak as migratory birds fly in.


The Kadris love to eat chicken daily. But with reports of the possibility of migratory birds bringing the avian flu virus to India and infecting poultry, they are fighting temptation. "Dry chicken is what is eaten these days. Now Kadris eat chicken only once a week.

Well-cooked meat won’t carry the virus H5N1 anyway. What Kadris should avoid is close contact with infected birds, their droppings or the air contaminated with faecal vapours. Kadris is only being extra cautious, like many others around the world these days, in case the virus should jump from birds to humans and trigger a pandemic. Like in 1957, when the H2N2 strain emerged in China and killed around 7,50,000 people worldwide, or In 1968, when the H3 strain showed up in Hong Kong and claimed 7,00,000 lives around the world.

Though some experts believe it may not happen because the virus might become less lethal after mutation, around 30 nations met recently in Canada to discuss the preparedness. In India, 3,207 blood and faecal samples of poultry from various states, sent to the High Security Animal Diseases Laboratory in Bhopal, India, from July to September, have tested negative. But with migratory birds starting to descend on the country, testing times are ahead for the government, which has set up an inter-ministerial task force to watch out and ensure availability of medicine. Government cannot wait for the outbreak to happen, they are coming out with a national strategy as per WHO codes.

Having warned all the Indian states, the government is monitoring 50 bird sanctuaries. So far they have not found any sign of the virus. They are working with the Bombay National History Society. Government are asked to report sick or dead birds, there is a little early to predict as India gets avian visitors till May. The danger areas are the eastern borders and the Himalayan range. While birds coming from China could be a cause for concern for the northeastern states, Siberian birds from Europe could pose danger for Kashmir. In Gujarat, which has five bird sanctuaries and over 20 big wetlands, bar-headed geese, which are believed to carry the virus, could show up in mid-November. The three species great cormorant, great black-headed gull and great brown-headed gull that come to Gujarat will also be watched. Bird watchers and farmers in the state have been told to report to the forest department if birds are found dull and shivering.

However, the Food and Agriculture Organization has discouraged their killing or destruction of their habitats. Destruction, authorities say, would disperse the population but not reduce the risk or change the course of the avian flu infection in poultry. The Bhopal lab has devised a method of testing by scanning the droppings

where the virus can survive for 105 days at temperatures less than 25 degrees C.
Were the flu to spread, experts fear India would be short of vaccines, drugs, hospitals and doctors. There is no specific medicine available, say Doctors. Vaccines are also not fully available in India. Symptomatic treatment is what they can give depending on cough or high-grade fever. Treatments are depending on the quantum of exposure, virulence of the virus and the person’s resistance. Though India is reportedly developing a vaccine, current treatment is to administer neuraminidase (a viral protein that helps release new virus particles from the host human cell) inhibitors, oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir. Since Tamiflu manufacturer Roche has no product patent on the drug in India, there are no legal hurdles for Indian companies to make a generic version of the drug. Other nations, too, are looking at making the drug as the WTO, in 2003, has allowed governments to overrule patents during health crises.

India has banned imports of poultry and poultry products from infected countries. Government set up border check posts and posted quarantine officers at airports. Meat-sellers hope that the avian visitors won’t upset business. So far no virus has been reported even among the birds, and World Health Organization has given a thumbs-up to India’s preparedness. Still, keep your fingers crossed.

New York Marathon 6th November 2005

Known as one of the finest marathons in the world, this is one not to be missed! This truly fabulous marathon is renowned world wide for its overall cosmopolitan buzz and the great atmosphere of its pre and post race celebrations.

Whether you're a first time marathon runner, an old hand or if you just need an excuse to visit one of the most exciting cities in the world then this challenge is for you!

Runner boy

Seven months ago, judo coach Biranchi asked little Budhia to run in the hall at his judo-training center in Bhubaneswar (Orissa, India), as punishment for using bad words. General secretary of Orissa Judo Association Biranchi hoped to check on hi in 15 minutes but forgot about it. When he got back seven hours later, the 3-year-old Budhia was still running.

He thought Budhia might have stopped and resumed running when he saw him coming. But boys in the hostel that Biranchi runs and whom he trains, said Budhia kept running at the same pace through they asked him to stop. Amazed by the child’s stamina, Biranchi took him to a doctor, who found him fit. After this, my wife Gita [who is also a judo expert] and I wanted to make Budhia a marathon runner, says Biranchi. Call it coincidence, but the previous night I had watched a marathon runner from Kenya on TV and found that Budhia had a similar style.

Budhia is a rare child, says Doctor, who examined the boy. He is quite intelligent. He remembers the names of more than 100 judo trainees, says Biranchi. He has picked up some good judo techniques as well. The boy from a Goutam Nagar slum in Bhubaneswar lost his father, last year. His mother, who making Rs.250 a month from washing dishes, sent her two elder daughters to two household as maids and gave Budhia away to a hawker for Rs.800, keeping the remaining child with her. Biranchi, who visits the slum as president of the Kalingaputre Basti Basinda Association, brought Budhia to his center, along with his sister, after paying the hawker.

Of 6,000 boys and girls he trained in his 23-year career, 587-47 of them orphans-have got jobs in the police and paramilitary forces. He can get into the Guinness Book of Records with proper grooming, says Biranchi. Budhia covered the 60-km Bhubaneswar-Puri stretch nine times in the last four months, clocking his best time of 5 hours and 45 minutes. He runs barefoot as shoes cause strain and slow him down, says Biranchi, who plans to put hi in school next year.

Efforts are on to find a sponsor for Budhia. His stamina is unusual, says an IAS officer and president of the judo association. He needs regular health check-ups and a special diet. We want him to represent India in international events. Biranchi, who has declined offers to adopt the child, says the government has not given any help. But, minister for sports, says the government is thinking of supporting him.

Won’t the rigours take a toll on Budhia’s health? Says, a government coach: The experiment may affect the lungs and heart and growth. For marathon, one is trained after the age of 12. Even at that age, the maximum one runs at a stretch is 15km once or twice a week.

Dr.Bibekananda Tripathy, a 60-year-old vet who finished first at the January 16 international marathon in Mumbai agrees. Even if he is gifted he should be given the right load at the right age, he says. Otherwise when the real test comes his love for running won’t be there.

But Budhia seems to be enjoying it. He says he just wants to run.
