Cylinder - Rs. 2000, Petrol Rs. 140 !!!
Cost of any product depends on its demand in market !!! When demand goes up, naturally cost goes high !!! Number of vehicles in London is multiple folds than the number of vehicles in India - even then we pay more for fuel !!!
Now coming to the topic - a single LPG cylinder is sold for Rs. 2000 and one litter of petrol is sold for Rs. 140 !!! This is the price in Manipur - a state in North Eastern India !!!
As I said, when demand is directly proportional to value of the product !!! People have blocked National Highway road connecting manipur to rest of India to show their protest !!! They want Sadhar Hill area to be declared as revenue district !!!
Is this a good move !?!?!?
Of course fighting for their right is never wrong !!! And most importantly I have no idea about their problems, so I am in no position to comment on their purpose of protest !!! But all what I feel is for the way they protest !!!
It is like cutting the branch of the tree on which we are sitting !!! They themselves terminated their connection with rest of India !!! The commodities in the state are gradually decreasing !!! People don't realize it !!! Black marketers are benefited by these protest !!!
The same petrol which is around Rs. 71 in other parts of India is around Rs. 140 there !!! LPG are also sold at very high price !!! Now my question is are they pressurizing Government or themselves ?!!?!?
Really we have to learn the art of protesting from Japanese !!!
Assume there is an issue regarding salary hike of employees !!! Our labours may call for strike and will sit outside the factory !!! Hence demand of the product will raise and also company owner will assume that he has a vacation to enjoy !!! Because he knows that he could increase the price once strike is withdrawn !!!
But in Japan, People enter the company and keep on working !!! They keep on working till the management accepts to their demand !!! Suppose it is a shoe company, they will manufacture Left leg shoes during strike period !!! That too in huge quantity !!! What will company do with left shoe alone ?!?!
Now the management is forced to make some decision !!! They also fear that the demand for their product may go down because their products are available in huge numbers in market !!!
Now it is up to us to decide the way we protest !!!

Action Vs Reaction !!!
Action is a process produced by nature or itself !!! Reaction is an idea evoked by some experience !!! In short action is independent !!! Reaction is dependent !!! Scholars says that it is always better to act to an situation than to react !!!
Reaction adds to frustration and anger !!! Let us take a small example of how things changes because of this !!!
I am to attend a conference today !!! I got ready in my favourite dress !!! Mom invites me for breakfast !!! By mistake, she spills sambar in my dress !!! Now I have two options !!! Act or React !!!
If I want to react, I have to scold her !!! After scolding she may get hurt !!! I may spend few time in scolding and then changing dress - which will make me late to conference !!! When I am late, I drive more faster than I do usually !!! So I may meet with accident !!! I may forget few point to be discussed, because of tension !!!
When I come back home, my Mom may not be casually talking with me !!! I may miss my Mom's love and care for some time, which is invaluable !!!
If I choose to act, I will just go to my room and change the dress !!! May be I can just ask her to be more careful from next time !!! This will also make me a successful person all over !!! I will be on time, I will be presenting better and most importantly my Mom will be happy !!!
Going in detail, these reactions degrade our body and mind !!! They make us tensed !!! Our blood pressure raises and we become more emotional !!!
Because of reacting, we forget an universal truth that - "Everything happenings in this World cannot be controlled by us" !!!
Also by reacting, we cannot avoid the happening, because reaction is itself the action taken after a happening !!! The two second time period after any process decides whether we are going to act or react !!!
These two seconds is very crucial !!! Sometimes it may even lead to disaster !!!
On this, World Heart day I wish all people to have a healthy heart !!! For that the crucial decision we should make is either to act or react !!!

Master of the sky!
India has purchased 6 C-130J-30 aircraft from the Government of United States of America (USG) through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) route at a cost of US $ 962 million which includes the cost on account of training, role and support equipment, spares, warranty and US Government administrative charges.
Equipped with India-unique operational equipment, including an infrared detection set (IDS), the aircraft for the first time will provide the IAF an ability to conduct precision low-level flying operations, airdrops and landings in blackout conditions.
The C-130J Super Hercules is the only airlifter with the range and flexibility for emerging theaters and evolving concepts of operation. This tactical transport aircraft has already proven itself in many kinds of missions, many in the harshest operating conditions possible.
The C-130J is an all-new aircraft. Major improvements include a state-of-the-art, computer-controlled digital flight deck designed for two-pilot operation and equipped with twin mission computers.
The aircraft can also be configured with the "enhanced cargo handling system". The system consists of a computerised loadmaster's station from where the user can remotely control the under floor winch.
The aircraft is equipped with air-to-air receiver refueling capability for extended range operations. Lockheed Martin will integrate this equipment and other capabilities into the Indian configuration as agreed between the governments.
Everest faces rocky future as ice melts!
Climbers and custodians of Everest say rapid climate change could soon make for an ice-free ascent of the world's highest mountain.
Their warning comes amid a new international effort to gauge the effects of climate change in the Himalayas - and shield local people from potential hazards.
A US-funded mission, led by the Mountain Institute, opened a meeting in Kathmandu at the weekend aimed at finding practical solutions to the threat of catastrophic high-altitude flooding from lakes forming at the foot of melting glaciers.
Anecdotal evidence suggests the climbing experience is now far different from that Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay faced in 1953. However, scientists acknowledge they have yet to form a complete picture of the changes under way in the Himalayas.
The task of offering a definitive scientific account of the extent of melting is daunting - and not just because the area is so vast and inaccessible.
Scientists are still working to recover from a PR disaster early last year when it emerged that a United Nations report on climate change had claimed - wrongly - that the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035.
But growing anecdotal evidence from climbers and local people suggests climate change is making a strong impact even well above the 8000m line, with signs of melting ice on the southern approach to Everest.
"When I climbed Mt Everest last year I climbed the majority of ice without crampons because there was so much bare rock," said John All, an expert on Nepal glaciers from the University of Western Kentucky.
"In the past that would have been suicide because there was so much ice."
He said the terrain he crossed was very different from the landscapes described by earlier generations of climbers. Historical photographs of the Everest region show a longer and deeper covering of ice.
All added: "I wonder when Mt Everest will finally become a rock climb rather than an ice climb."
Everest Base Camp has undergone similar changes, said Tshering Tenzing Sherpa, who has overseen rubbish collection at the site for the past few years.
The summer monsoon months brought several deep new crevasses in the black ice beneath the rocks, Tenzing said. "Everything is changing with the glaciers."
Mancini knows Munich milestone!
Manchester City will reach the latest stage of their remarkable journey in Munich on Tuesday night with manager Roberto Mancini insisting one game alone against the legendary Bayern "cannot change" a club.Since Sheikh Mansour completed his multi-million pound Blues buy-out in 2008, City's long-suffering fans have become numb such is the frequency with which they have had to pinch themselves.From the day it all began and that British record £32.5million purchase of Robinho, through the arrival of Carlos Tevez from Manchester United, last season's FA Cup triumph and top-three finish, City have hauled in the heavyweights above them.
"For the supporters it is an important moment," Mancini said.Now, with so much less distance to travel, the strides are shorter. Some are still very significant.When they walk out at the Allianz Arena to face a team that were Champions League runners-up as recently as 2010, knocking Manchester United out along the way, and have four European Cups in their trophy room bearing testament to their status in the game, for those who have loyally followed the Blues through decades of underachievement another marker will have been passed.Mancini added: "Life changes sometimes.
Now we are a top club. But one result or one game cannot change everything. As a club, a team and a squad we have improved a lot this year and hope to do so in the future. But it is clear that it is an important game for this group. If we win it will be very important."That a club who only 13 years ago were spending their midweeks dreaming of victory over Macclesfield are now taking on Bayern as equals is remarkable in itself. Yet a quick check through the names who might represent the Blues in Germany emphasises Mancini and his boys are not travelling to Bavaria to gaze around at a world-famous stadium and wonder in amazement at it all.
Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure, David Silva, Joe Hart. This City squad stands comparison with any potential foe in this competition, including a Bayern outfit who can boast Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and Manuel Neuer in its ranks."Playing against Bayern Munich is always difficult for an English team. But the same is also (true) for them," said Mancini."It will be a difficult game. When you play against this team you can lose. But we are not a small team. We are a good team. We play against them without a problem. We have a lot of respect for them. They have a great history. But we want to do a good job."

Water bottles !!!
Water is the elixir of life !!! We all depend on water for survival !!! Is our drinking water pure and safe !?!? We just have an idea that all bottled water are safe !!! This post is to give you a basic ideas about the water bottles used in our house !!!
We people have a perception that drinking in a water bottle is stylish !!! Probably it may give you a rich look, but in now ways it is better !!!
There is no water bottle which is 100% safe (there are very few exemptions and those water bottles are not at all used in India) !!! We people generally use the water bottles of Aquafina, Bisleri or any packaged water bottle for storing water bottle !!!
If you just take a close look at it, you will realize the problem !!! Those bottles are intended for one time use !!! They are just made of petroleum products, which are highly dangerous to our health !!! When we use that bottle in extreme cold or hot conditions, there are more and more probability to get affected !!!
Increase in usage of these bottles result in price hikes of petroleum products !!! We people never worry about this !!! To be honest, many of us are not aware of these factor even !!!
Generally PET bottles are recommended for storing water !!! But we just avoid them, because of the cost involved in them !!! These bottles costs bit more than cheap plastic bottles !!!
Many of us would have experienced a smell in water !!! This happens mainly due to storage of water in cheap plastic bottles !!! These bottles release some chemical components which easily reacts with water, producing odour !!!
Even shocking news is that, many restaurants uses water bottles which were scrapped !!! They collect water bottles from garbage even !!! This could be avoided only when we avoid using these bottles !!!
How many of us crush the bottle after use !??! Probably one out of ten !!! Others just throw the bottle out !!! There are also some middle class people who are unaware about the properties of bottle !!! These people used to collect the bottle with them for future use !!! These people are direct victims !!!
Studies says that, using these water bottles for prolonged period could even result in cancer !!! Because there is a carcinogenic substance present in these water bottles, which could easily involve in reaction with water !!!
This is all for the day !!! Now ball is in your court !!! When ever you go for purchasing water bottles, think about the hike in petroleum products and also carcinogenic threat !!! The other alternative in your hand is purchase a PET bottle and fill it when ever you get a chance !!!

Vettel hails 'incredible year'!
Sebastian Vettel stopped short of conceding what he has achieved this season is magical, but under the lights of Singapore he was certainly dazzling.
Vettel produced another stunning drive to claim his ninth win this year, 19th of his career, and 15th from pole - the latter statistic drawing him level alongside the legendary Jim Clark. The 24-year-old led every single lap of the race to leave him one point shy of becoming the youngest back-to-back and double world champion in Formula One history.
Asked if this season was a magical one, Vettel said: "Magic? I don't know, maybe for some people. It has been an incredible year for us, an incredible record for both of us (team-mate Mark Webber) in terms of reliability."
He added: "We have had no problems with the car, the engine has been perfect from start to finish, so touch wood, nothing has gone wrong so far this year.
"It does need a lot of small things to come together to make sure you have an incredible season like we have had so far.
"It's been very enjoyable. Everyone has been extremely disciplined in a way, target-orientated and we've all enjoyed it.
"Those things sum it up pretty well, but of course we hope to carry on like that, carry the momentum into the next races, and into next season as well."
Not even a safety car for a crash involving seven-times champion Michael Schumacher in his Mercedes, at a time when Vettel held a 19-second cushion over Jenson Button on lap 30, halted his charge.
Come the end, Button finished just 1.7secs adrift, although Vettel insisted he was "in control" of the situation.
Behind the leading duo Red Bull's Mark Webber was third, Fernando Alonso fourth, whilst Lewis Hamilton was fifth after yet another incident involving Felipe Massa.

Technology Trap !!!
Technology is growing in a rapid phase !!! We are so happy in enjoying positive side of this, at the same time it is necessary to have an idea about where we could be trapped !!!
Many of us use Debit Card !!! Nowadays ATM card itself acts as debit card and hence this card is almost everyone's hand !!! But banks like ICICI questions the security of these cards !!!
Are you aware that your debit card never asks for pin number while swiping in malls ?!?!! Many of us never sign in the strip given backside !!! None of the shop keepers bother to check for the sign and compare it with the one in Customer's copy too !!!
Banks says this is to speed up our shopping process !!! But what would happen if I misplace my card ?!?!!?
Experts says that banks do so to force customers to shift to credit card !!! In credit card, pin number is mandatory !!! We all hear a lot about credit card everyday !!! Recently one of my known person was trapped !!! He was asked to pay Rs. 35000 as credit card bill !!! The fact is till date he has not received the card even !!!
Now come to internet banking !!! There are few sites which pretend to be original !!! Always it is must to ensure a lock symbol and https keyword in your address bar before entering confidential details !!!
Recently I came across a page of RBI !!! It was a fake one !!! Page has a heading of "Check your ATM provider" !!! The page asks for your card number, name, expiry date, date of birth, pin number, account number, bank name, bank branch etc !!! Once you enter all these data, be sure your account is gone !!!
One more recent problem experienced is trapping of ATM cards in ATM machines !!!
A trap made of X-ray film is placed in ATM machine's card slot !!! Once you insert your card - it gets stuck inside !!! Person who sets the trap approaches as a gentle man to help you and tries to get your pin number by asking you to enter it !!! Once it is done, he begins convincing you that card will not come out and you need to report bank about it !!!
Once you leave the place, he removes the trap !!! Card comes along with the trap !!! He is now aware of your password too !!!
In case if your card gets trapped, just check for some trap sort of thing in the slot !!! Probably you may find the glued area and retrieve your card !!!
Everyone has a reason for theft !!! Everyone needs money !!! Our desire towards money makes us use our science and technology against wise deeds !!! It is advisable to be careful from our side !!!

Stories which were impressive !!!
Thanks to electronic media !!! We receive many good information via emails, nowadays !!! I received some short stories from some of my friends - which I thought of sharing here !!! Forgive me, if you are already familiar with these stories !!!
We all are familiar with stories from the beginning of our life !!! Most of us grow us by hearing stories, indeed !!! Now without any delay, let me share the stories !!!
1. There was a professor, who came to class with a empty flask (transparent) !!! He wanted students to listen his activities and answer his questions !!! He firstly, put 5 - 6 golf balls inside the flask and asked the students, whether the flask is full !?!?
Everyone agreed "Yes, it was" !!! Then he added small pebbles in the flask and again raised same questions to the students !!! This time also he got the same answer !!!
Now, again he poured some sand followed by 2 cups of coffee in the flask and asked the same question !!! Indeed, the response was same for all the questions !!!
The students laughed at the professor for this questions !!! This happened, till professor framed an analogy between life and the jar !!!
Golf balls are our important things - Family, God, Children, Friends, Health etc !!!
If nothing else is there is flask also, the flask remains full !!!
Other things like pebble, sand and coffee are our small angers, emotions, fear etc !!!
If we prioritize these small things, there won't be enough space left to fill the golf ball (that is your family, friends and health) !!!
Decision is yours - fill what you deserve more at first !!!
Let me finish this post with one more small story !!! Japanese were fond of fresh fish !!! But they were not able to get it !!! They used to export fish from greater distance, which made the fish cold and old !!!
They even tried about transporting the fish alive with water !!! But this too can't satisfy them !!! Do you know what they did to solve this problem ?!?!
They simply put a small shark in the container along with many fish !!! Now the fishes were running for their life and hence they were fresh !!!
Even fishes remain fresh, when exposed to challenge - How about us ?!?!?!
Nothing in life is a trouble !!! Take everything as a challenge and come out with flying colours !!!

Tendulkar's suggestion for ODIs is worth experimenting: Dravid!
Sachin Tendulkar's suggestion to revamp the ODIs by splitting the format into four innings of 25 overs each may have been rejected by the ICC, however, Rahul Dravid has shown his support to the idea. "It is interesting (suggestion). I don't know why the ICC has rejected it (Tendulkar's suggestion via a letter to ICC), but it's a good idea that Sachin has given and is worth experimenting," Dravid said on Wednesday.
"It has been tried out in Australia (in domestic cricket) and the plus and minus points should be looked into," he added. Tendulkar had written a letter to the ICC to change the format of the ODIs from two innings of 50 overs to four of 25 overs like a Test match but the world council's Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat had rejected it.

First impressions: Blackberry Torch 9860!
Out of sheer curiosity and boredom, rather than the need, I picked up the new BlackBerry Torch 9860 yesterday. I was feeling the Blackberry withdrawal symptoms especially since the Bold 9900 was such a disappointment and I hadn’t owned the berry since.
Instant impressions were great however I don't understand why RIM chose to name this device 'Torch' especially since it clearly follows the 'Storm' format. Just like the 9900 I was quite happy with the hardware build quality. The buttons on front are a welcome change from the recessed 'soft' touch ones we've gotten in the past. The back was curved and the phone felt great to hold. The phone was quite responsive too, in fact this is what the original 'Storm' should have been, the on-screen keyboard was the best I've ever used on any BlackBerry handheld, but I still would rate the Windows Phone 7 keyboard higher.
The phone comes loaded with the hyped OS7. But if you’re excited about this platform, you will be irritated by the lack of OS7 applications available on the Appstore. Even if you use the apps meant for an older platform, for some strange reason many of them will cause issues with the device.
The screen is great but it gets nowhere near the quality of the iPhone 4. It has all the other standard features/options that a BlackBerry has to offer. Although it is a great device, the price-point (Rs28,490/-) at which its sold puts it into direct competition with the likes of iPhone 4 and flagship Android phones like Optimus 3D and EVO 3D. Unfortunately, that makes the phone look rather lackluster and hence ends up being disappointing. I honestly feel RIM should get its act together (and fast) because being a BlackBerry loyalist over 6 years now the PlayBook, Bold 9900 and now the Torch 9860 have been huge disappointments.
Wanna know about pearls?
Pearls are formed when an irritant, such as a bit of food, grain of sand, bacteria or even a piece of the mollusk's 
mantle becomes trapped in the mollusk. To protect itself, the mollusk secretes the substances aragonite (a mineral) and conchiolin (a protein) in layers, which results in a pearl. Depending on how the aragonite is arranged, the pearl may have a high luster (nacre, or mother-of-pearl) or a more porcelain-like surface.

Depending on how the aragonite is arranged, the pearl may have a high luster (nacre, or mother-of-pearl) or a more porcelain-like surface.Pearls may be a variety of colors, including white, pink and black. Any mollusk can form a pearl, although they are more common in some animals than in others. There are animals known as pearl oysters, which includes species in the genus Pinctada. The species Pinctada maxima (called the gold-lipped pearl oyster or silver-lipped pearl oyster) lives in the
Indian Ocean and the Pacific from Japan to Australia and produce pearls known as South Sea Pearls. Other pearl-producing animals include abalones, conchs, pen shells,and whelks.Pearls may also be found and cultured in freshwater mollusks and are often produced by species collectively called "pearl mussels." Some pearls are cultured - they do not form by chance in the wild, but are helped by humans, who insert a piece of shell, glass or mantle into a mollusk and wait for pearls to form. You can read more about this process here.
These are the parts of an oyster inside the shell:
- Mouth (palps)
- Stomach
- Heart
- Intestines
- Gills
- Anus
- Abductor muscle
- Mantle
As the oyster grows in size, its shell must also grow. The mantle is an organ that produces the oyster's shell, using minerals from the oyster's food. The material created by the mantle is called nacre. Nacre lines the inside of the shell.
