Spritualism

SPRITUALISM

Every human being on this planet is attached to some super power in form of spiritualism. In India spiritualism is very big industry & in past decade it has seen tremendous growth and changes. According to some estimates this industry is of 2000 crores. The hub of this industry is religious places like Haridwar, Mathura, Vrindavan etc. Religious leaders and trusts are using the modern technological resources in a very good way to spread their messages to everyone. They organize camps, distribute VCD, Books, medicines, periodicals, etc. Promotions are done through satsangs and live shows on various TV channels. The main advantage available to this industry is most of the income is tax free and pilgrims are hungry to pay/donate.

It is also a very source of income for many peoples and they are fully dependent on it for living their life.

Is all this true and good for us, please post your views.

ENVIRONMENT OF OUR PLANET

Environment of our planet is loosing its strength by every passing day since last few decades because of rapid increase in industrialization without following pollution norms, cutting of trees on large scale without re-plantation, increasing population and desire of human beings to do something new without thinking about its impact on environment. Due to above mentioned reasons pollution spreads in various form like air pollution, noise pollution, water pollution, land pollution, etc. Pollution had crossed all its limit and increasing at a very very high speed with every passing day which in turn creating issues like global warming, climate change etc. now all developed and developing nations of our world are concerned about environmental issues and United Nations celebrates 5^th June as Environment Day all over the world and promotes ways and methods to save our environment. Every individual not only speak about it but apply the rules in his/her regular routine.

Please post your ideas to deal with environmental issues.

CORRUPTION IN INDIA

On scale of corruption India’s rank is 72^nd in the world as per the report of Transparency International India a Berlin based non profit organization. Corruption is directly linked with poverty and mis-governance. A survey shows that more than 75% of respondents in the National Capital Region do not have faith in the government. Every where we go found corruption whether it is railway reservation, allotment of land, filing of taxes, etc. From top to bottom corruption exist everywhere. Politicians, bureaucrats find new ways to fill up their pocket by misuse of public assets. To remove corruption we should made systematic reforms in governance and remove some bad traditional points like presenting gifts. We need to change our election system, so that fair politics can help to improve India. Recently some big & fair decisions had helped India to reduce corruption like declaration of assets by candidates before filing for nomination. Right To Information Act have a powerful tool to fight against corruption. E-Governance could be another useful path to follow. Let’s come together and put our whole hearted efforts to remove corruption from our country.

Please mention all other methods which should be adopted by everyone of us in our regular life to remove corruption from our society.

INDIAN ARMY UNDER STRESS

INDIAN ARMY UNDER STRESS

Indian army, the second largest army (with 1.13 million soldiers and officer) in the world after china is facing problem of STRESS among its officers and soldiers. Many of its officers and soldiers are committing suicide or they attack their colleagues and seniors. In such incidents army lost twice the number of soldiers compared to dies in action /battle field.

Soldiers are stressed because of relentless counter-insurgency operations, posting in far flung areas of J&K, North East on bayonet edge. They have to fight with heavily armed militants and don’t get proper sleep/rest followed by lack basic amenities, poor accommodation facilities and very little salary. They also feel helpless to solve their problems faced by their due to their posting at far-flung areas. Seniors themselves takes the leave, enjoy good facilities and other benefits while soldiers are even not getting a part of it.

Defence Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR) study says denial of leave, humiliation and harassment by seniors, absence of leaders. Currently Army is facing leadership crisis at middle level because an average middle Indian gets the double starting salary compared to the salary of Army personnels.

To overcome the stress problem DIFR recommended that the psychologist to soldier ratio should be at least 1 : 1000 and as a long term step separate cadre of psychologists should be created in army.

As of now soldiers are allowed to frequency call their families regularly and list of Do’s and Don’ts to also handle psychological problems.

Company commanders had also been given manual which will help them to identify soldiers who are stressed.

Army says that it is a “testing time” for the force and it will pass because foundations are strong.

Honor To Sports Team

Honor To Sports Team

For Indian Cricket Team the T-20 World Cup Win has came after 24 years, a glorious moment for whole country. Chak De (the film with hockey team) is the theme song for victory but still we forgotten our National Game “HOCKEY” and our Hockey team who won the ASIA Cup and did not got any respect, award shows that only marketing works because only Indian Cricket Team got much recognition from Media, Society and various State Governments (Maharashtra, Haryana, Jharkhand and Karnataka) as well as Central Government. I truly support the comments of Hockey team when the call “step motherly treatment” from society and government for them. The only exception for Indian Hockey team is congratulation letter from President Kalam on their victory. They have been promised some minor rewards after their protest but it is not the right way to honor. Aslam Sher Khan, the Former Indian Hockey Captain says even British Ruler valued their game. Our hockey team and anyone of us is not against the victory of T-20 World Cup but why to ignore our National Game Hockey. National chief coach Joaquim Carvalho comments for State Governments and industry (SAHARA Group, sponsor of Cricket and Hockey team) is very true. And for all this Media is also responsible because they did not highlighted the victory of Asia Cup. If this will continue it will be major setback for our future sports-persons.

Indian mobile users crossed the figure of 200 million mark in August. More than 8 million wireless subscribers are added in august according to the release by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and this target has been achieved by India four months ahead of its deadline.

Indo-US N-deal

Indo-US N-Deal

In last few months too much of events happened with regard to this 123 deal especially because of resistance by LEFT parties. LEFT parties wants that deal should be cancelled but they themselves are not united over this issue. Many of its leaders think that India could not survive without N-Power as it is the source of energy in future decades. But some points like relation of deal with Hyde Act and other US domestic laws, cost of nuclear plants, equipment and others.

Government have given a note to the Left parties telling them that India’s nuclear agreement is better than the agreement between China & US, Japan & US. Now the government has started discussion with IAEA which is very good on part of India because of positive signals given by IAEA.

Indian Cricket

WHY RAHUL DRAVID RESIGNS FROM CAPTAINCY

Again in the politics of BCCI one more good Captain (Mr. Cool) got bowled. In Indian Cricket history many times this has happened that due to non cooperation, less resources, and wrong internal tactics against players and Captains. Being a gentleman Dravid only said that he wants to focus on his specialty i.e batting. As per some news it has been told Dravid is not comfortable because of many of BCCI officials who do not have technical specialty for the game or even they are not former players, instruct the Dravid DO & DON’T as a captain. Many time BCCI official comment for team even without discussing it with players and Captain. Before going to media they should discuss it with Captain.

The record of Rahul Dravid as a captain is very good and following table shows this :

	As a captain			As a player
	Mts	Runs	Avg	Mts	Runs	Avg	Change in Avg
Dravid	79	2658	42.19	244	7755	39.36	2.83
Ganguly	146	5082	38.79	153	5923	43.87	-5.08
Tendulkar	73	2454	37.75	322	12971	45.83	-8.08

Even in selection of team his voice did not get recognized and not even a full time coach after the world cup.

To improve the Indian Cricket team we should apply Australian system. We should appoint former players, coaches as a part of selection committee while in case of India it has more number of politicians, bureaucrats and others. And it is the main reason that Indian team is not the Best Team of World.

So to make the Indian Team a Best team of World BCCI should remove, corruption, politics, bureaucracy and all other issues and works with a true spirit of sports organization.

Ram Setu

From last few days there is so many things has happened over Ram Setu Project. The Congress government is saying that there is no Ram or Ramayana and Ram Setu is not a man made structure. Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) also submitted the same report and said that it is a natural formation. Somewhere it shows that Congress party is working to develop or maintain particular class of vote bank. Even before submitting the affidavit the government even did not think about that it will hurt the Hindu sentiments and in view of terrorism, government should not take this step.

A little violence step by TERRORIST could create a law & order problem in country.
Even if we go through scientific facts in a professional manner then many environmentalist object over this project as this setu (natural formation) saves us from Sunami. And all of we knows how much we have suffered from Sunami. A major earthquake hits the INDONESIA and in view of the above Indian Home Ministry issued advised Andaman and Nicobar Islands administration to monitor the situation. A TSUNAMI alert was issued on Wednesday to Andaman and Nicobar islands and withdrawn after 3 hrs.
If the construction of canal is important then we should look the alternative ways by which the project could be completed.

All of these events show that we should not play with the nature in a rude manner otherwise it will be harmful for ourselves only.

Terrorism

What do we mean by terrorism? As soon as this word passes through our mind a synonym of the same flash in our eyes. (Osama Bin Laden/Al-Qaida). I think terrorism is nothing but only a fight between two different views and the community who has less support do some violence and try to popularize them and earn support and the other community calls them terrorist. Now a days these terrorist have formed big organization and they are not only using violence as a tool but taking benefit of some social issues like religion, poverty, unemployment etc. Even they spent lot of funds to hire professional to work for them. They give rewards to the person who die for them and tell the followers that their persons are sacrificing their live for a good motive. Terrorist organization setup different groups in various territories and manage their finances with a combination of modern and traditional methods. Many Governments all over world is trying to nab them but to fight with them they need a strong co-operation between them which is still lacking and the second one is taking full benefit of it. Because of the fights between these two groups world is losing its peacefulness. If every person leaves his/her ego and works towards making this world a better place to live.

Suggest your methods for bringing both communities on one platform to solve their conflicts and make this world more prosperous.

Web Marketing

Web marketing is increasingly making its way in our day to day life. It affects every common people regular life. On net we can do marketing by adopting various method and techniques. Some of them are email marketing, affiliate marketing and many other methods also exist the best way to earn online advertising is through Google Adsense which have revolutionized the way of online advertising. We could promote our product and services with the help of marketing in a very cost effective manner and it is more fruitful in comparison to traditional when it comes to the peoples related to Information Technology. Though the web marketing concept has not reached its heights but still covered many miles. I Hope that it will completely take over traditional marketing.

Movements in Pakistan

Nawaz Sharif landing in Pakistan and then flying for Jeddaah is looking like a drama. It seems that his all efforts to lead movements against Pakistan Military ruler Pervez Musharraf have gone waste. It may possible that in the near future it will be fruitful for him but Mr. Nawaz and Mrs. Bhutto share a common platform to fight against militarism and increase co-operation then it will be possible for them to out General Pervez Musharraf. It looks that currently all the power is in the hand of President Pervez Musharraf and he is taking benefit of clash between Mr. Nawaz and Mrs. Bhutto.

Indian Economy

India is a fast expanding economy of Asia on the path of becoming Super-Power with its vast young force. Indians are targeting to become Super-Power by 2020. Various sectors of economy are rapidly growing whether it is IT, Retail Shopping, FMCG, or Banking. Indian business houses are rubbing their shoulders with international players and even having upper hand in comparison to them. But to achieve success India must expedite socio-economic reforms and increase agricultural growth through diversification and development of agro processing. Major rural population is still not getting proper health facilities. There are number of issues where India needs to look on but frankly speaking everything can’t be cured and Indian economy will definitely achieve the top rank in world.

Indian Hockey Team

Indian hockey team gets one more victory against South Korea in the final of Asia Cup tournament in Chennai on Sunday. Previously they had also win Nehru Cup. This victory of Indian Team indicates that the golden time of Indian hockey may have come back and Major Dhayan Chand names flashes through our mind. We all can hope that Indian team will win the next Hockey World Cup.

Blogosphere expansions

In a recent article at a news sites I found that Blogosphere expands 100-fold in three years. 50 million blogs - online multi-media journals - were tracked on the Internet last month. According to a new study published online it has found that English languages sites have 39% jumps with Japanese stand at 31%. Although some of these are spam who passed through the search engine’s filters. If the same speed continues then how many blogs will exist in next decade is hard to predict and as we know that every thing in this world have some good and some bad points so the same thing will happens with blogs. Out of millions of blogs some will come to end as happens in the case of .com era.

It will be very difficult for us to search for useful blogs and we all knows that every human being is having short of time as the world is becoming fast and fast but the positive point is tolls which helps to find relevant information. But I firmly believes that the players having patience for long term will pass all the booms and downs and achieve success.

Malabar Exercise

Dear Friend

In last two-three years Indian Security Forces have various military, air and naval exercises with forces of various countries. Does it indicates that it will lead India to become a part of some group like NATO or something like that because of a fear of growing concerns in Asia. On the other hand we should also see that Asian countries are developing very fast.
