Art lies in nudity only....( what are they trying to proove?)

(Well i like to write most in hindi cause i can't explain it in english perfectly)

Where do my fine-arts(BARODA) friends, wants to took the society to? what do they want to contribute to the generations. does art means represent one's perverted thinkings, and try to make it common tradition, (maanav ke vikaaro kon samaaj me samaanya bananaa chahte he. art ka matalab badal ke sirf nudity kar diya he.)

it's like interfering some one's personal life. no one have rights to disclose Devi-devata's sexual life. do try to aware and understand your responsibilities to the socieaty and the use of the gift of art, given to you by the same god, whom you people making naked. (jisne tumko kala bhet di, useeko tum sare aam nanga kar rahe ho. waaah...... kala ka matlab kisi bhi chiz ki khubsurti dikhana he, nagnata nahi). art means try to find and represent the best of it's beauty. not representing the nudity.(Lajjaa dikhao, nirlajatta nahi. Asli kalakaar aisi taswir dikhate samay yeh dhyan rakhte he ki kahi pe bhi nirlajjata jalke nahi, aur jyada se jyada sharm aur bhaavna hi dikhaai de.)

The fine art student are protesting for the artist, they may. but what does it mean? where even KAAM-DEV was not succeed to escape from lord shiva's punishment to him, because of interfering in his sexual life. who is that guy. he should be punished also. but the protest should be only for give him forgiveness. it will be okay. but they people are not apologizes, and still thinks that as an artist they are independent to show anything they like. (apni swatantrata ka upyog krupiya samaaj ke uddhaar ke liye kijiye). Itni sadiyo ki human rights ki jung isliye nahi ki gayee he ke, aap uska upyog is tarikese kar sake. swatantrata ka upyog hame samaaj ke kalyaan ke liye karna chahiye. vyaktigat swaarth ke liye nahi. aur samaaj ke liye kuchh na kar sako to koi baat nahi. samaaj me ashlilta ko saamanya karne ki koshish kripiya karke mat kijiye.

With concern of VHP, me unka paksh nahi le raha, jaruri nahi woh jo kare ya bole woh har baar sahi he, but kuchh unke views galat bhi nahi he. ha tarika galat ho sakta he, agreed. but the aim is considerable sometime. Talibano ki baat na kare, agar aap talibaan me hote, to aapko itni swatantrata to kya.... aaap ko yeh sochna bhi sajaayee-mot ho jati. you can not even think like this. apne desh me kaafi accha mahol he, usse savaar ne ki koshish kare. na ke uska galat upyog kare.

This things apply to all of the youngsters, who taking the generations to bold life. bold hona achhi baat he, but boldness me ashlilta nahi honi chaahiye. be bold so no one can steal your freedom only. All the youngsters should be aware for their responsibilities to the society and to the country.

videshi log bhi apne desh walo se jyada hamari sanskriti ko chahte he, aur uska sanmaan karte he. hum yahaa apne hi logo se is baat ke liye jagad rahe he. yeg is desh ka durbhagya hi to he.

Ashlilta aam baat nahi honi chaahiye.

if someone have problem with my language used to explain the things, then i am sorry for it. and welcomes all the views on it.

What Is Maturity ( Stolen, but i like )




What is maturity ? Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence or destruction. Maturity is patience. It is the willingness to pass up immediate pleasure in favor of the long-term gain. Maturity is perseverance, the ability to sweat out a project or a situation in spite of heavy opposition and discouraging set-backs. Maturity is the capacity to face unpleasantness and frustration, discomfort and defeat, without complaint or collapse. Maturity is humility. It is being big enough to say, "I was wrong." And, when right, the mature person need not experience the satisfaction of saying, "I told you so."
Maturity is the ability to make a decision and stand by it. The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities; then they do nothing. Maturity means dependability, keeping one's word, coming through in a crisis. The immature are masters of the alibi. They are the confused and the disorganized. Their lives are a maze of broken promises, former friends, unfinished business, and good intentions that somehow never materialize. Maturity is the art of living in peace with that which we cannot change, the courage to change that which should be changed -- and the wisdom to know the difference. what you think about it.....

Free Pizza?

Recently in The Times of India there was an article / advertisement about Pizza delivery Companies which guarantees you free pizza if they fail to deliver within the specified time (like 30 minutes). Have you ever wondered who pays for the free pizzas??

Well, the delivery boy is made to pay for the pizza. They are paid such low wages and the price of the pizza is deducted from their monthly wages which can amount to up to 60% in some months (It becomes difficult to run their family). To deliver the pizzas the delivery boys take high traffic risks as delivery becomes their priority. Their life and safety risks are neither looked into by the Pizza Shop Management nor the Pizza Delivery Boy himself. (They are more concerned to avoid the deduction from their salary).

If this type of exploitation is carried on in your city's pizza logistics we should stop availing the home delivery system, because to deliver our pizza one person may be risking his life. Is the life of an Indian citizen so cheap and of no value? In case he is late in delivering the pizza, we are enjoying the free pizza at the hard earned money of a poor delivery boy.

Is it fair or right on our part to do it?

As a human, please think and if you feel that this is wrong, please spread the message and stop having the so called FREE pizzas delivered at home.

I VOTE NOBODY...

Section 49-O of the Constitution
 
Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the
1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth,
confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding 
election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!
 
Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly
notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O". 
 
Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a
candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has
received "49-O" votes more than 123, then that polling will be 
cancelled and will have to be re-polled. Not only that, but the
candidature of the contestants will be removed andthey cannot contest
the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on 
them.
 
This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine
candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way,
of our whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why the 
election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public....
 
 
 
Please spread this news to as many as you know... Seems to be a
wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India... show your power, 
expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful
than voting... so don't miss your chance.
 
 
 
So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info
on...
 
"Please forward this mail to as many as possible, so that we, the
people  of India, can really use this power to save our nation"
 
Use your voting right for a better INDIA.

Punish your Microsoft developer

So there I was looking for to put a name to the implementor this JScript “feature” and it seems Microsoft have come up with a better solution . ;)

What NDTV or so-called Secular Channels don't Show to Public

Flaring up communal feelings? NDTV did not show 18 temples demolished under courts Order. The double standards of our third rate Indian Media.Please Fwd to all conscious citizens of this nation. Visual media did not show 18 temples demolition

NDTV and allied channels are repeatedly showing the old shots of Vadodra violence. Why it did they not SHOW THE DEMOLITION OF TEMPLES? IN MADURAI SEVERAL TEMPLES WERE DESTROYED (see the photographs above). DID THE MEDIA SHOW IT TO THE WORLD? NO. One Darga is being repeatedly shown. See the type of irresponsible media we have. NDTV should be held responsible for such irresponsible action. Muslims never honour any courts decision and come to streets. When so many temples were demolished, no violence took place but for a single Darga there is so much of violence. NDTV is spraying fuel on fire as elections are going on in various States, so the Communist agenda is to be implemented. The "secular" English media kept silent when Temples were demolished in tamil Nadu

http://www.india-forum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=110&st=90

An estimated 40 Hindu temples, some as old as forty years, were demolished in Tamil Nadu in Feb. 2005. This demolition spree continued for more than three days. The bulldozers, (remniscent of Israeli bull dozers) went about in razing to ground all the temples. One of these temples was 50 years old. The "secular" English media however kept silent. The news was reported by the Madurai edition of the local Dinamlar in the front page. For some of the snaps of this gruesome incident, check out

http://dinamalar.com/2005feb17/imp1.asp

Nothing happened when the temples were brought down, but disturbance started when the dargah was demolished. Why?

Ref: Disturbance in Baroda against the demolition drive undertaken by the Baroda Municipal Corporation. The drive resulted in tearing down of 4 temples and a dargah so that the roads could be widened. While nothing happened when the temples were brought down, disturbance started when the dargah was demolished. Why?

There were orders to demolish any kind of encroachment, temple or a mosque or any illegal construction

http://in.rediff.com/news/2006/may/01guj1.htm

While giving chronology of the events, Swaroop said, "The demolition drive has been on for the last 15 days, as per the master plan of the city. There were orders to demolish any kind of encroachment, whether it's a temple or a mosque or any illegal construction in the house of a senior officer." He added, "As per the order, some temples, too, have been demolished. Swaroop said, "I used to pray at a Sai Baba temple right across from my house. Even that was demolished a few days back and I could do nothing about it. Today it was the turn of the dargah of Rashidudin Rahimtullah, a Sufi saint."

The world's most expensive cities

London is the most expensive city in the world due to the UK capital’s high cost of renting accommodation. If rents are excluded, Oslo, Copenhagen, Tokyo and Zurich are among the most costly cities in the world. In terms of living costs, Oslo remains the most expensive of the 71 cities surveyed, now followed by Copenhagen, Tokyo, Zurich and London. A basket of goods and services assembled in line with western European consumer habits (excluding rents) costs 15.5 per cent more in Oslo than it does in Zurich – over two-thirds more than the global average. If we include rents in the comparison, the differences from city to city are even more pronounced. The most expensive places to live in this respect are London, Oslo and New York. There have been some significant shifts in the top places since the 2003 edition: Copenhagen has gone from sixth to second-most expensive city, while Hong Kong has fallen from second spot and no longer ranks among the world’s most expensive cities. Our basket is still cheapest in Mumbai, Karachi, Buenos Aires and the eastern European cities of Kiev, Bucharest and Sofia. The cost in these cities is a third or less of the price in Zurich.

The Marine Drive Refurbishmentation


Hello friends,
Last saturday I visit MarineDrive, and found that it was not the good time to visit it. the reason is as explained below:

Image of Marine Drive

Click here to enjoy a Flyby video of Marine Drive!
(For Broadband users)

The Task

REFURBISHMENT OF MARINE DRIVE with the intent to Brand & propagate the ‘place’ as a landmark

The Approach

ARC-CGL believes that Place Architecture is too important to be left only to the architects!

It believes that place architecture must go beyond function, aesthetics and beauty into creating true landmarks with cultural & economic overlays.
It is with this philosophy that ARC-CGL has approached this project of national importance that is significant to Mumbai and, in turn, to other metros of the country.
Our endeavor is to take the project ‘beyond beauty’ and have it transform Marine Drive into being a global landmark. This can be achieved through place branding by creating ‘experiences’ within the project scope.

Why the name : Rang De Basanti

Actually, reporters asked this question to Aamir in a press conference. What he told was pretty interesting...

In the crew of the film unit, there was a person called GNAR (Russian Artist). He was a giant of 8'2" in height and 130 kilos of weight. He was the person, who lifted and threw Aamir, in the title song.

The producer of the movie asked by some pundit to name his film after 11 days of shooting is completed. On 11th day of shoot, all crew had a heated discussion and argument on what should be the name of the movie. They decide to put chits and all stuff, but nobody agreed to one name. At that time Gnar was not feeling well and he was sleeping in his camp tomb (It was an outdoor shoot on the mountains). The pundit was on sets and they suggested that the crew will visit Gnar and whatever will be first word(s) every person will speak after entering his camp - will be the name of movie. If more than one choice then the word(s) mostly spoken will be selected. And that will be the last chance of titling the movie.

Scene-2: All of the crew people walking towards GNAR's tent and opens the veil and ... All of them were surprised... Gnar twirling and trying to sleep on a 4 feet long bed. Everyone was shocked and in unison they shouted "ITNA SA BED GNAR"..... silence...long silence.... It was said... and by all... They had to keep this name of the movie.

But the producer and Director were very upset over the kind of name finalized. They lost all enthusiasm and even thought of dumping the project...Then came the advice from the great GNAR... The advice which was accepted by the producer with most happiness... He Said, "Why don't you reverse the title text....

Software servicing will soon attract tax

Seeking professional help to fix a software bug is set to become an expensive jot. The government is set to bring maintenance, repair and servicing of all computer software under the service tax net. The revenue department today informed the industry chambers of its intention to levy tax on this service. A circular to this effect would be issued soon after consultation with the industry.

At present, maintenance and repair of software products, branded or otherwise, does not attract service tax. A revenue department notification of August 21, ’03, had exempted the maintenance or repair of computers, computer systems or computer peripherals from tax.

The change in position follows a Supreme Court ruling last year in the case of Tata Consultancy Services where the apex court said that sales tax would have to be paid on off-the-shelf software products. The apex court had upheld an Andhra Pradesh HC order classifying such software as “goods” under the Sales Tax Act.

More specifically, SC had said that software and the media that holds it cannot be split. Software is transferred in a floppy disk or CD, and sold like a branded product. Where it was an unbranded or customised software, the supplier needed to use a media to transfer the intellectual property and upload it on the customer’s system.

The revenue department has taken advantage of this ruling which classifies software as goods to bring repair and maintenance under the purview of the 10.2% service tax levy. The tax on software maintenance would prove to be a growing stream of service tax revenue given the rising penetration of computers in homes.

Notepad user

This is really cool for people who use notepad to write down any info on day to day basis...
In Notepad -
Create a blank text file with .LOG as the first line of the file,
followed by a carriage return. Save the file with any .txt extension.
Double-click the file to open it and notice that Notepad appends the current date and time to the end of the file and places the cursor on the line after.
Type your notes and then save and close the file.

Each time you open the file, Notepad repeats the process, appending the time and date to the end of the file and placing the cursor below it.

Hope this helps some of you!!!

PHP6 gets a COMEFROM statement

One of the more controversial additions to PHP6 is the GOTO . Some have argued it flys in the face of many years good programming sense but there are valid use cases, when running performance critical operations such as parsing, where the overhead of making PHP user function calls becomes significant. Anyway GOTO seems to have opened the gates to some more radical language modifications and recent discussion a revolved around adding a COMEFROM statement to PHP, which led to an initial patch...

Original fight club

The mundane existence of a product liability evaluator and insomniac, who is addicted to self-help groups, is turned upside down when he meets a sado-masochistic anarchist who is secretly plotting to overthrow civilization. As their friendship grows, they become increasingly involved in a secret society of "fight clubs" where men act out their aggressions and violently beat one another to a pulp. In the meantime, the evaluator falls in love with a woman who is also addicted to self-help groups, but is unable to act on his desire for her.

Searching For Link Partners on MSN

MSN has a very cool new feature described at SEOMoz.org that allows you to see whose linking to your competitors but not to you.

For example a search for:
(linkdomain:amazon.com.com linkdomain:bn.com) (-linkdomain:borders.com)
Will provide a list of all sites linking to Amazon.com and BN.com but not to Borders…
This is a great way to find potential link partners, as well as to find areas of the web where your visibility is low compared to your competitors.

Tallest statue of Lord Subramaniya unveiled KUALA LUMPUR


About 30,000 Hindu devotees and visitors came to witness the official unveiling of the country's tallest Lord Murugan statue on Jan 29, 2006 (Sunday) and the garlanding of the golden statue.Temple officials were now hoping to get the 42.7m statue, located at the Sri Subramaniar Temple at the foot of Batu Caves, into the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest Lord Murugan statue in the world. Hundreds of balloons floated into the air and a shower of flowers fell from a hovering helicopter as Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu officially launched the opening ceremony about 6.15 pm on Jan 29, 2006. A crane lifting the giant chrysanthemum garland to put over the statue of Lord Murugan at the Sri Subramaniar Temple in Batu Caves. As darkness fell, a pectacular 20-minute display of fireworks lit the RM2.5mil statue made of 1,550 cubic metres of concrete, 250 tonnes of steel bars and 300 litres of gold paint brought in from Thailand. Fifteen Indian sculptors had worked on the project for three years. A cultural performance by local artistes and singers from India continued till midnight. Yesterday morning, just as many people turned up again at the temple to witness a giant garland being placed on the statue - two weeks before Thaipusam. The RM15,000 flower garland, which was 43m long and weighed about atonne, was made of chrysanthemums which will last less than a week under the hot sun. "A total of five days without sleep and 18 men was what it took to prepare this enormous garland," said Sri Kertanas Floral manager, Mahendran Shanti. "One hundred and fifty people had to carry the garland to the temple. "We needed another 20 men to help lift it to the crane so it wouldn't sway and hit visitors," said Mahendran, who was among those who had carried the hefty garland. It was a complex operation and it took about an hour to hook the garland to the crane and for the crane to place the garland on the statue. "But all the hard work was worth it as we had hoped to have the statue as well as the garland ready before haipusam," said Mahendran's wife, Shanti. V.Malarvanan, who had sponsored the garland, said the flowers were brought in from Cameron Highlands. "Although I wasn't involved in the making of the garland, I was there the whole five days, to give them a little support so they wouldn't get side-tracked," he joked. "I also hope that this giant garland will make it into the Malaysia Book of Records, following the successful entry of the statue into the archives," he said.
