Chandrayaan-1, that lifted off Wednesday morning from Sriharikota, is India's first and the world's 68th mission to the moon, the earth's closest celestial body which has fascinated children, scientists and poets alike.
"Through the ages, the moon, our closest celestial body, has aroused curiosity in our mind, far more than any other objects in the sky," says the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on its maiden moon mission.
The world's first moon mission was by the then Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) on Jan 2, 1959, followed two months later by the US on March 3.
Between them, the two countries have sent 62 missions to probe the moon with the US stealing a march over the then cold war rival USSR by landing a man on the moon on July 20, 1969.
Japan broke the monopoly of the two superpowers on Jan 24, 1990 by sending its spacecraft Hiten to orbit the moon. The European Space Agency launched its probe in September 2003. China sent its spacecraft Chang-e last year.
The first hard landing on the moon was on Sep 12, 1959 by Soviet Union's Luna 2.
The first photos from the moon were taken by Oct 4, 1959 from the Soviet spacecraft Luna 3.
On Jan 26, 1962, the US Ranger 3 missed the Moon by 36,793 km.
The Soviet Union's Luna 6 did worse on June 8, 1965 missing the moon by 160,000 km.
Luna 9 made up for it on Jan 31, 1966 by becoming the first spacecraft to soft land on the moon.
The Indian mission to the moon was proposed at a meeting of the Indian Academy of Sciences in 1999.
Then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee announced the project was on course in his Independence Day speech on Aug 15, 2003.
The Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft is cuboid in shape, weighs 1,304 kg at launch and 590 kg at lunar orbit. It will carry 11 payloads, including six from abroad.
A canted single-sided solar array will generate required power for the spacecraft during its two-year mission. The solar array generates 700 watts of peak power. During eclipse the spacecraft will be powered by Lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries.
The spacecraft employs an X-band, 0.7-metre diameter parabolic antenna for payload data transmission.
The Telemetry, Tracking & Command (TTC) communication is in S-band frequency and scientific payload data transmission in X-band frequency.
The spacecraft has three Solid State Recorders (SSRs) to record data from various payloads.
SSR-1 will store science payload data and has capability of storing 32 GB data.
The 8 GB SSR-2 will store science payload data along with spacecraft attitude information, satellite house keeping and other auxiliary data.
The third SSR with 10 GB SSR is for storing M3 (Moon Mineralogy Mapper) payload data.
On the ground, Chandrayaan-1 will be tracked by the Deep Space Station (DSN), Spacecraft Control Centre (SCC) and Indian Space Science Data Centre (ISSDC).
The spacecraft will blast off on an upgraded version of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, built first in the early 1990s by ISRO.
PSLV is ISRO's workhorse launch vehicle. The upgraded version, PSLV-C11, has a liftoff weight of 316 tonnes.
Chandrayaan-1 costs Rs.3.86 billion (about $76 million): Rs.530 million (about $11 million) for Payload development, Rs.830 million (about $17 million) for Spacecraft Bus, Rs.1 billion ($20 million) for Deep Space Network, Rs.1 billion ($20 million) for PSLV launch vehicle, and Rs.500 million ($10 million) for scientific data centre, external network support and programme management expenses.

India reached Moon
India's maiden moon probe crashed on to the lunar surface at 8.31 p.m. Friday, sending a wealth of data to its mother spacecraft Chandrayaan-1 during the 25 minutes of its useful life. India became the fourth country to send a probe to the moon.
The moon impact probe (MIP), which has the Indian tricolour painted on its four sides, will remain for all time to come on the Shackleton Crater region of the lunar south pole. It will never corrode due to the lack of atmosphere on the moon.
"We have given the moon to India," a beaming and excited chief of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) G. Madhavan Nair said minutes after the MIP landed. "The moon has been very favourable to us all through. We have travelled all the way to the moon," Nair told a crowded press conference at an ISRO base here as his fellow space scientists applauded.
The MIP has already sent "beautiful images with high resolution of the moon and their analysis will now begin", Nair said.
The around 35-kg MIP with three instruments took the images as it drifted towards the lunar surface detaching from India's first unmanned lunar spacecraft Chandrayaan-1 at 8.06 p.m.
The crash landing of the 375 mm x 375 mm x 470 mm MIP, a honeycomb structure carrying a radar altimeter, a video imaging system and a mass spectrometer, raised a cloud of dust that will be analysed by the scientists, yielding a host of data about the composition of the moon.
But well before that, the video imaging system and the mass spectrometer had obtained data that will enable the scientists to analyse if the moon has water, if it has anything that can be used as fuel for nuclear fusion, hopefully even the age of the moon.
Scientists at ISRO waited impatiently for the first batch of data sent by the MIP to Chandrayaan-1, as the spacecraft went behind the moon for an hour after the landing, while orbiting the Earth's natural satellite from 100 km above.
The landing of the MIP comes 50 years after the first man-made object landed on the lunar surface. The other countries that landed probes on the moon are the former USSR, the US and China.

Lion-hearted cricketer
The third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series between India and Australia was meandering towards a tame draw and attention was gradually shifting to the fourth and final match of the series at Nagpur starting on November 6. However, an unexpected announcement by one of cricket’s legends – Anil Kumble – changed all that in a hurry, as the former India captain shocked the cricketing fraternity by stating that he would retire at the end of the Delhi Test.
However shocking this announcement may have been, it was delivered with the same poise, elegance and class that became synonymous with Kumble through his 19-years long international career. Kumble will go down in the record books as a gentleman cricketer, which is by no means an ordinary feat in the modern era. He will also be remembered as a lion-hearted player and a star performer who never backed down from challenges or was fazed by the criticism that was directed his way.
Citing Kumble’s impressive statistics at the international level really aren’t needed to prove the value he brought to the Indian team – but for the record, ‘Jumbo’ as he is called by his teammates, took more than 1,000 international wickets in his long and distinguished career.
Kumble finished his Test career with 619 wickets in 132 matches, and in doing so became not only the first Indian bowler to take 600 Test wickets but also had the satisfaction of being the second-most capped player for his country in the longest version of the game.
These numbers are the best answer that Kumble could have given to those detractors who wrote him off throughout his career for either not being a turner of the cricket ball or the fact that he was a medium-pacer in a spinner’s garb! It is a tribute to the man’s dedication to the game and his self-confidence that he went back to the drawing board and worked on his action and deliveries until he turned himself into a silent assassin on any pitch across the world. If Sachin Tendulkar has borne the pressure of shouldering India’s batting fortunes for most of his career, Kumble was a match-winner with the ball for the country – his performances won India 43 of the 132 Test matches he featured in — as he turned his arm over and over again despite the body niggles and injuries. Who can forget the inspirational sight of Kumble bowling with a fractured jaw in the Caribbean as he tried to bowl his side to an elusive win in the West Indies and took the prized wicket of Brian Lara in the process?
Kumble was successful not only as a bowler, but was also more than a useful lower-order batsman, who didn’t really do justice to his talent with the bat. But, he did make one Test century and the delight on his face and that of his teammates when he achieved that feat will be one of the indelible memories that will be etched in my mind.
‘Jumbo’ had always harboured dreams of captaining India, and that wish came true late last year when he was appointed India’s Test skipper. If one thought Kumble was Mr Cool and carried himself with self-assurance and commanded respect from opponents and teammates alike, the grace with which he handled himself during India’s acrimonious tour of Australia earlier in the year, only reinforced that fact. He came out of the episode with renewed confidence in his abilities as a cricketer and a leader, and also with the increased respect of is teammates.
However, in recent times, Kumble was feeling the heat as his abilities to take wickets appeared to hit a brick wall. To compound matters, there were increasing calls for him to quit international cricket, and allow Mahendra Singh Dhoni to take over the reins of the Test team as well. Kumble hit back at his critics through his syndicated newspaper columns in which he said he will go on his own terms. Well, that’s exactly what he did on the afternoon of November 2, as a country of a billion people began to understand the implication of that decision.
And, to be honest, I was one of Kumble’s critics, who felt he was overstaying his welcome, not because of his age but mainly because of his loss of form with the ball. But, the sight of Kumble being carried around the Feroz Shah Kotla ground in New Delhi was a reality check in that the team would now be without a champion bowler who had shouldered the burden of carrying India’s bowling fortunes all these years. India does have replacements for Kumble in Amit Mishra and Piyush Chawla, but the duo would know they have huge shoes to fill.
Kumble leaves behind a legacy of not only being India’s most successful Test bowler, but through his stellar career he demonstrated that there is no substitute for hard work, self-confidence and determination, and more importantly that one can reach record-breaking heights without resorting to under-handed tactics on the field. As he bids adieu to the international stage and leaves a void that will be hard to fill, we have decided to make Kumble our Cricketer of the Week as a salute to the lion-hearted cricketer from Karnataka, who was respected and admired not only by his teammates and Indians around the world, but also by the global cricketing fraternity. Thank you for the memories, ‘Jumbo’!

Middle East is the new market for India's small IT firms
Dubai: With the financial crisis hitting the US economy badly, the Middle East is emerging as a key market for the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of India's IT sector as they seek to reduce their dependence on the US market.
"The US accounts for almost 76 percent of India's total IT exports, but with the slowdown in the US economy, it is very important that we look at alternatives to the US market to diversify the basket," Sunil Vachani, vice-chairman of the Electronics and Computer Software Export Promotion Council (ESC) of India, said.
He is here for the ongoing Gitex-2008, the Middle East's largest technology show.
Thirty-five Indian companies are participating in the show under the ESC banner. India's Consul General in Dubai Venu Rajamony inaugurated the ESC section of the show here Monday.
Stating that the current global financial crisis is going to hit India's IT exports, Vachani said ESC was trying to reduce dependence on the US market.
"The Indian companies have to be proactive and diversify to other countries and reduce their dependence on the US market so that they are not badly affected (by the economic crisis)," he said.
"That is why we are looking at the Middle East as one of the major markets."
Apart from the Middle East, Europe, South America, Japan and southeast Asia are now the focus markets of the ESC, he added.
Over 2,300 SMEs in the IT sector are members of the ESC.
Of India's total IT exports of $46 billion in 2007-08 - around $43 billion in software and over $3 billion in hardware - the Middle East accounted for $1 billion, an increase of 17 percent from the previous year.
"Of this $1 billion, software exports accounted for $600 million while electronic hardware's share was about $400 million," the ESC vice-chairman said.
Electronic hardware comprises IT hardware, consumer electronics and electronic components.
"In the Middle East, we are now looking at a growth of 25 percent," he said, adding: "At Gitex, we want to showcase that there is a huge strength in India's small and medium IT companies also."
Compared to the share of IT biggies in India like Infosys, Wipro, Satyam and Tata Consultancy Services, SMEs have also emerged as significant players when it came to exports.
"Of India's total IT exports (in 2007-08), SMEs accounted for 40 percent of the total electronic hardware exports and for software, the figure is 30 percent," Vachani said.

Yahoo to announce more job cuts next week
Los Angeles: Yahoo is expected to announce more job cuts when it would present its third-quarter earnings next week, officials said.
The Internet portal giant is likely to lay off at least as many employees as it did in January, when it sacked 1,000 workers, people familiar with the industry said on Saturday. Yahoo currently has around 14,300 employees.
Leading online auction and shopping website eBay announced earlier this month to lay off 10 percent of its 16,000 workers, while search engine giant Google reportedly has been quietly trimming its contractor workforce.
Google has a total workforce of around 30,000 people, including around 10,000 contractors. However the company declined to disclose how many contractors it has let go.
Industry analysts said that the Internet companies, which typically have large overhead and staff numbers, are bracing themselves for a tough economic situation in fears of a global recession.

Rising from the ashes ... Again !!!!!
Am jus referring to Ganguly here....
When Sourav Ganguly was left out of the Rest of India squad for the recent Irani Trophy tie against Ranji champions Delhi, a few cricketing experts started predicting the end of the road for ‘The Prince of Kolkata’. But, as is his wont, Ganguly proved his detractors wrong yet again when the new selection committee headed by K Srikkanth named him in the Indian squad for the first two Test matches against Australia – at Bangalore from October 9-13 and at Mohali from October 17-21.
Many of Ganguly’s supporters felt that the former India captain was made the fall guy for the team’s Test series loss in Sri Lanka, when in fact the rest of India’s Fab four – Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman – failed to do much with the bat either. But, this was just another instance when Ganguly had the right to feel aggrieved.
Ganguly was one of India’s most successful batsmen in 2007 – the year in which he made another of his comebacks to the team and scored 1,106 Test runs at an average of 61.44 and 1,240 runs in one-day internationals at 44.28. Ganguly was the second highest run-getter in Test cricket and the fifth highest run-scorer in ODIs last year. Though Ganguly is no longer a part of India’s ODI team, he still has a bit to offer to the Test side, and will be looking to prove a point to his critics in the first two Test matches against Australia.
Ganguly has made a habit of making his detractors eat their words, and he has achieved this not only because of his cricketing talent, but also thanks to his mental strength and character. He is a very proud and self-confident individual, and these traits have stood him in good stead when faced with tough situations.
Ganguly’s inclusion in the team for the Tests against Australia led to speculation that this was done to give him a honourable exit from Team India and he would be the first of India’s senior cricketers to take up BCCI’s so-called “VRS” offer. This was a most preposterous suggestion, and has been dismissed as such by India’s Test captain Anil Kumble. And, Ganguly himself has rubbished reports of such a suggestion. It is ironic though that Ganguly, who is India’s most successful captain ever, is now made to feel unwanted.
But, when it’s time to get down to business, one can be assured that Ganguly will not only be looking to prove a point to the critics, but he would also want to prove to himself that he still has a lot to offer and deserves to play international cricket....

In Indian Cricket "Source" is the ruler and king !!!!
It was a day like any other day in Indian cricket. The media squeaked, croaked, screamed and did everything possible to be the first with the news.
It was a day when the Indian team for the Australian series was also to be selected. The ubiquitous source, that trusted friend of ours, who never lets down those in need, was being quoted in great detail on why Sourav Ganguly will not be dropped from the team.
The reports said that there has been a quid pro quo, and Ganguly will be picked on the condition that he retires after the series is over.
Reporter after reporter on almost every TV channel spoke with that "know-all" look that suggests that the person must have been an eyewitness to this 'deal'.
Some better professionals even made you feel that they may have played an important role in striking the 'deal'. Not just Ganguly, all the seniors will now get a decent "burial", we were told.
They just have to choose the time and place. For many, if this deal story was true, it meant humiliation of the seniors, though everyone agrees that there has to be a gradual phase-out. This series may not be the right time to execute that plan but it has to be done, sooner or later.
But to follow a VRS is not the right way to go about it, as it does give the impression of a favour being done to the players. That is why most of us reacted in indignation.
Ganguly must have been feeling the most aggrieved, wondering why he should always be the first to be targeted. His has been a story right from the day he made his debut, of a man whom no one ever wants but can't do without.
By the evening, this "deal" theory was being spoken of in muted tones with Ganguly dismissing it with uncharacteristic indignation in front of the cameras.
Finally, it was left to Anil Kumble to tell the world that they had heard nothing of it. His was a voice of reasoned sanity. "Put us under scrutiny but do it respectfully" he was forced to say.
The Indian Board, whose lack of transparent ways, has made this "Source" acquire monstrous dimensions, was in action the next day again, being quoted everywhere, this time to deny the story.
The truth? Well for that you would have to read IS Bindra. He wrote almost a tome in praise of the administrators who have given a new "direction to world cricket".
From Sharad Pawar to Lalit Modi, we were told how great they are.
They sure must be, but unless a 'source' tells us that, it can't be true.

A day full f xperience !!!!
Things started when v, around seven f our frens, met in a marriage reception of co-fren’s bro dis Sunday. We were actually discussing how v try and kill time (indirectly abt our vettiness) and discussing abt our DOJ’s.Suddenly struck wit an idea of joinin any BPO r Call Centre, until we get our DOJ…
So plans were made to get into a BPO.Now d search for an actually gud BPO began. I got a reference thru ma coz who’s been wit a popular BPO for almost 6 years. And v,5 f us, planned to attend the interview process on Tuesday…
V wr asked 2 b der by 11.30.Once v reached d place, with the help f ma coz v got into d reception and submitted our resumes wit some reference person’s name headin each f our resumes…
It all began at dat stroke.V wr waitin 4 d so-called Online registration alone 4 almost an hour. Aft registerin ourselves thru online, v wr given an application no. and again wr asked to wait…
Dis time v r given seats to at least prevent our legs from aching. Aft another 30 min, v wr all called in. A lady, who’s postin says HR, but appears to b a lower rank candidate wit her communication gav us a topic lik “Speak on ur fav fruit” and asked each f us to hav our say…I don how she evaluated us based on 3-4 sentences v spoke…
She categorized us into Voice and Non Voice.2 f us wr into Voice and 3 wr into Non voice. (It’s ridiculous to segregate ppl based on d topic which almost 80% ll hav d same thought).V preferred to hav Voice kinda CS 4 all f us. Then on, v wr asked to meet another HR...
Again a lady, dis time indirectly instead f makin us wait, asked us to hav our lunch n return. Again another hour passed, the clock struck 3, v checked in.Dis time I was clld in first.

Infosys Firing - An interesting observation
There has been a buzz in the IT industry about the firings in the top Indian IT Companies. I had an interesting observation to share with you.
Try the following search term in google.
tcs firing
wipro firing
satyam firing
infosys firing
You would get the following screenshots
As you can see from the last snapshot by searching Infosys firing in google, you can see a red circle in the snapshot, here google says Did you mean “Infosys Hiring”. ( From Google Help page - Google’s spell checking software automatically checks whether your query uses the most common spelling of a given word. If it thinks you’re likely to generate better results with an alternative spelling, it will ask “Did you mean: (more common spelling)?”. Click the suggested spelling to launch a Google search for that).
It has got very significant meaning that Infosys has never been a hire and fire company, and it is a great achievement for a company and it is not a true news that infy firing
Well infy is not in mood to fire;
And going completely against the tide is Infosys, which is actually planning to hire 25,000 people this year and is also contemplating recruiting about 1,000 more in China over the next two to three years..
The reason is coz Infy has bought three new companies at UK each for 4 million pound...
Proud to b an Infoscian !!!!
Lets hope that the current situation of firing employees in top companies goes away fast..

Superstar Rajini back in action!
Rajini films have always been surrounded by pre-release hype and hoopla! "Enthiran - The Robot" is no exception at it! Though Rajini's previous venture 'Kuselan' bombed at the box office, it was no fault on his. The producers should never have marketed a film in which he makes only a guest appearance as a full length Rajini film! Past is past! Now, he's back in a totally new avatar!
The poster released recently shows a clean shaved metallic Rajini sportin' a rose. Moreover, there are added attractions in the form of the brilliant director Shankar and the most elegant music director of all times, A.R. Rahman! The last time the trio got together was "Sivaji: The Boss" which was a massive blockbuster! So, when the trio gets together again, obviously so much of hype gets into the act. Moreover, this film is said to have the costliest budget in the Indian Film Industry so far!
A full length Rajini film with a solid screenplay and excellent direction never bombs at the box office. Moreover, the female cast includes the beautiful Aishwarya Rai and the haute Deepika Padukone. So, the glamour quotient will also be on a high with the beautiful ladies around! The shooting for the slick flick has already started on September 8 in the USA and is scheduled to be released in 2012. I'm sure it will rock and haunt the Indian film Industry for years to come and put overseas film-makers rave like anything! Its the first full-length sci-fi movie to be made in India! Rajini roxxx! Hope he's fully successful with this venture!

Captain courageous
Sourav Ganguly’s tryst with Indian cricket has seen more ups and downs than a drive across the Western Ghats.
He came into the side as a lazy Prince, grew into the Maharaj who believed in treating opposition as the scum of the earth and his own boys as God’s gift to cricket.
Ganguly may have made more enemies than friends and his style of captaincy may have found more detractors than supporters amongst the cricketing fraternity, but his fans and friends couldn’t care less.
He has been the ultimate captain for Indian cricket, a man who made his team believe that the rivals were sent only to be flogged on the field and sometimes off it as well!

MS Dhoni: The inspiration behind India’s success
It is only fitting that the first Indian cricketer to be named MSN India’s Player of the Week is Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the country’s ODI and T20 captain.
Dhoni has already achieved so much in his career that sometimes it is hard to realise that he is only in his fourth season of international cricket!
Dhoni’s most recent achievement was leading India to its first-ever ODI series triumph in Sri Lanka last week. India had wrapped up the five-match series with a game to spare, and though the Men in Blue lost the dead rubber, they won the Idea Cup Series 3-2. It was a series that for a change was dominated more by ball than the bat because of the conditions in Sri Lanka at this time of the year.
Partnerships are important in any form of cricket, and this was best exemplified in the Idea Cup, where only a handful of batsmen from either side looked to be comfortable in the middle. Dhoni found an able partner in Suresh Raina for most of the matches as the duo put on stellar partnerships to take India to a winning position in these games.
One of the most striking features about Dhoni’s batting after taking over the captaincy is the maturity that he has shown in different situations. When he burst on to the scene, Dhoni was an out-and-out attacking batsman who tore opposition bowling attacks to shreds. The main difference in Dhoni’s batting over the last year or so lies in his approach, wherein he plays each ball on its merit in the early part of his innings and hits the big shots only after he has got his eye in.
This changed approach helped the team’s cause a great deal in Sri Lanka as Dhoni played a couple of match-winning knocks as he finished as the top-scorer in the Idea Cup, scoring 193 runs at an average of 38.60.
Dhoni the captain has been as important to India’s success in recent success as Dhoni the batsman. The wicketkeeper-batsman from Jharkhand has shown time and time again that he does not shy away from challenges and follows his gut instinct. In the Idea Cup Series, Dhoni reposed faith in young Virat Kohli and backed middle-order batsman Rohit Sharma despite his repeated failures in recent matches. The Indian captain also made effective use of his bowling resources as he juggled his bowlers around with the air of a seasoned campaigner, and the likes of Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh ensured that they supported Dhoni to the hilt as they picked up wickets at regular intervals.
Dhoni has moulded India’s ODI and Twenty20 teams into a winning unit with help from the support staff. However, the captain himself has truly been an inspiration for the Men in Blue’s success in these two formats of cricket over the last year.
By his success in Sri Lanka as a captain and batsman, Dhoni has justified his decision to opt out the Test series in the Emerald Island. Dhoni’s decision at the time earned more brickbats than bouquets, but by winning the Man of the Series award in the Idea Cup series, the Indian captain has given the best possible answer to his critics.
A memorable week for Dhoni was capped when he was conferred with the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award – the highest sporting award in India. Dhoni is only the second cricketer after the legendary Sachin Tendulkar to be bestowed with this honour.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is one of the best things to have happened to Indian and international cricket in recent times and this inspirational leader will be hoping to lead his team to many more memorable conquests in the years ahead.

How do I make others feel important !!!!
Life should not be a race. Let's try to make it a Journey of Love, Peace & Harmony…
"Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, 'Make me feel important.' Never forget this message when working with people." If practiced, this could be one of the most life-changing pieces of advice. In any relationship, whether it's a spouse, child, client, colleague, or casual acquaintance, the best way to make a lasting impression is to take the time to make others feel genuinely valued.
Here are four simple things that I follow to make others feel more important.
1. I Greet everyone I meet with enthusiasm.
Have you ever called someone on the telephone - or met them somewhere -- and they greeted you with such energy and enthusiasm that you felt they must truly adore you? A greeting of ardent and genuine enthusiasm sets the tone for your entire encounter.
It's such a simple skill (the hardest part is remembering to do it) but if you CAN remember, it will enliven all of your relationships. This skill can be particularly life-changing when practiced with your thick and thins.
2. I take the time in conversation to really listen,while someone is talking.
Relax and listen before responding. As you practice this form of deep listening, work on identifying the other person's needs. Put your own needs aside during the conversation and focus on determining what *they* need today. Imagine that each encounter is like a brief interlude in what may otherwise be a hectic day. Slow down and savour the connection you can make with another person, even in a casual conversation.
3. I Work on remembering the details of past conversations and encounters.
Ask about the things they confided to you.Hwz all at home ?.Hwz ur bro studies goin ?.It's often helpful to make little notes to remind you to ask about something or someone the next time you meet. This simple skill shows people that they are important to you.
4. I Appreciate the small things that people do for me and never pass up an opportunity to say thank you.
It doesn't have to be anything fancy...a few kind words or even a simple note is plenty. As you go through your day, be thinking of how you can take a step toward recognition and appreciation.
When you make the people around you feel important, you create a climate of trust and mutual appreciation, which can change your life in ways large and small. Try it today.
Remember:
People will forget what you said ...
People will forget what you did ...
But people will never forget how you made them feel ...

Gandhi’s worst fears have come true
The Father of the Nation wanted to disband the Indian National Congress once it had outlived its raison d’etre of driving the British out of India. He felt that the best form of governance for India would be `swaraj’ (self-rule), by which Gandhi meant governance not by a hierarchical government but self governance through political decentralization and community building. But other political leaders of the time were least impressed by Gandhi’s idea of disbanding the INC or adopting Swaraj. Rather, the Congress Party went on to rule India ever since, except for an interregnum of 12 years when non-Congress combinations were in power. Contrary to Gandhi’s wishes, the Congress party’s leadership was usurped by the Nehru dynasty, which held the Prime Minister’s post for 33 out of 49 years when the Congress was in power. You can safely add four more years to the Nehru dynasty’s 33 year’s rule, given the fact that a member of the dynasty, Sonia Gandhi, is now the de facto prime minister, Dr Manmohan Singh being just her `mukhouta’ (mask).
Gandhi considered direct democracy as the best form of governance for India out of his conviction that a nation of India’s diversity, largely illiterate population and sparring leaders (Gandhi himself was heartbroken by the fights between Nehru and Patel) cannot successfully run a parliamentary democracy of the British Westminster model.
Perhaps, the biggest `achievement’ that we can crow about is the very survival of democracy in the country. Though Indira Gandhi suppressed democracy by clamping national emergency in 1975-’77, India never plunged into military dictatorship as Pakistan did.
Our economy is growing at 9 percent, but what is our record on `roti, kapda aur makan’ (food, clothing and shelter) after 61 years of freedom? A 2007 report by an official agency states that despite significant economic progress, 77% of Indians, or 836 million people, live on less that Rs20 per day. 300 million people live below the national poverty line(Rs10 per day). India has the highest rate of malnutrition among children. 170 million people in India live in slums, which account for 63 % of all slum dwellers in South Asia and 17 % in the world. The number of unemployed in the country has crossed 30 crore. India is home to the largest segment of illiterates in the world.
What throws a spanner in the works of the Government’s poverty alleviation and welfare measures is the rampant corruption in administration. Transparency International places India at rank 72(among 146 nations) in the global corruption index. Some Rs21000 crore is estimated to change hands in the form of bribery in India annually. The parallel economy is growing faster than the GDP. Black money not only deprives the government of tax revenues, but also prevents the resources allocated for public welfare from reaching the targeted sections.
The second biggest threat to the body politic, after corruption, is the criminalization of politics. To modify a Samuel Johnson quote, politics has become the first refuge of the scoundrels in India. The will of the people is subjugated by money and muscle power. Criminals gain legal immunity and respectability by getting elected to Parliament and State Assemblies. The politician-mafia nexus has turned the nation into a hotbed of terrorism.
Is this the freedom Gandhi fought for? The freedom to loot the nation’s wealth for personal benefit? The freedom to imperil national security by harboring criminals? The freedom to hold monopoly over wealth creation?
Well, Gandhi would have stirred in his Raj Ghat samadhi had he come to know of how we used and abused the freedom that he attained for us from the British!

My Introductory Blog
Let me tell you something about myself in this very first post of mine.
Me Avinash Jayakumar.Born in Mayiladuthurai,a village near to Thanjavur town. I have a twin sister.
Now to my character,
I'm a lover of discovering new things,exploring new ideas.Of course,am a bit tempered.Hmm thn I luv teaching whatever i have learnt r discovered r heard of....
Usually I try to take things so easily, let it be a Project, Exams, Humiliation,Failures, Backbiting, and so on. I loose my temper easily, when someone misinterprets me, opposes my point ,not listening to what i say, and not letting me finish my point. And I get annoyed if one persists to betray me..Many of my friends and my relatives have this..
I always want the ppl and the place around to be relished in happiness.I even tease my friends and relatives in a funny way,just to keep the environment in a laughing mood.
I love to help my friends. If someone asks me for some help, I 'll do it for sure, atleast not to disappoint his belief in me.
Hope that ll speak about me and me character..
