World No Tobacco Day

World No Tobacco Day is observed around the world every year on May 31. It is meant to encourage a 24-hour period of abstinence from all forms of tobacco consumption across the globe. The day is further intended to draw global attention to the widespread prevalence of tobacco use and to negative health effects, which currently lead to 5.4 million deaths worldwide annually. The member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) created World No Tobacco Day (WNTD) in 1987. In the past twenty years, the day has been met with both enthusiasm and resistance across the globe from governments, public health organizations, smokers, growers, and the tobacco industry.



Lets take a pledge to create awareness about this and save our friends.
For More information on this check out Wikipedia for World No Tobacco Day

Thank You.

Athene's Theory of Everything



Athene's 'Theory of Everything' doesn't only refer to the scientific concept of a unified field theory, but also to the scope of his research, which encompasses everything that has deep significance regarding the way science can affect our views on life, death and reality, ranging from neuroscience to particle physics.

Being an engineer, I was really happy to see no sensationalized or metaphysical claims in the documentary. On the contrary, it was great to see how he rigorously took the scientific method to heart in all aspects of his work, without making any of the esoteric correlations that modern quantum theorists sometimes resort to. Chiren's writing, which the documentary is based on, looks to science with respect for its roots in openness and skepticism..

As with all new ideas, I imagine not everyone will agree with his views on things. Regardless, the documentary will undoubtedly quickly become popular, as it deals with the subjects of reality, quantum mechanics, neuroscience and human psychology. And who knows, perhaps it will even win the heart of the scientific community (in the event the findings are verified).

Check out the documentary here -

Jai Bolo Baiman Ki..!!!!

दसियों साल पहले लिखी यह कविता, आज भी खरी उतरती है |

मन, मैला, तन ऊजरा, भाषण लच्छेदार,
ऊपर सत्याचार है, भीतर भ्रष्टाचार।
झूटों के घर पंडित बाँचें, कथा सत्य भगवान की,
जय बोलो बेईमान की !


प्रजातंत्र के पेड़ पर, कौआ करें किलोल,
टेप-रिकार्डर में भरे, चमगादड़ के बोल।
नित्य नई योजना बन रहीं, जन-जन के कल्याण की,
जय बोल बेईमान की !


महँगाई ने कर दिए, राशन-कारड फेस
पंख लगाकर उड़ गए, चीनी-मिट्टी तेल।
‘क्यू’ में धक्का मार किवाड़ें बंद हुई दूकान की,
जय बोल बेईमान की !


डाक-तार संचार का ‘प्रगति’ कर रहा काम,
कछुआ की गति चल रहे, लैटर-टेलीग्राम।
धीरे काम करो, तब होगी उन्नति हिंदुस्तान की,
जय बोलो बेईमान की !


दिन-दिन बढ़ता जा रहा काले घन का जोर,
डार-डार सरकार है, पात-पात करचोर।
नहीं सफल होने दें कोई युक्ति चचा ईमान की,
जय बोलो बेईमान की !


चैक केश कर बैंक से, लाया ठेकेदार,
आज बनाया पुल नया, कल पड़ गई दरार।
बाँकी झाँकी कर लो काकी, फाइव ईयर प्लान की,
जय बोलो बईमान की !


वेतन लेने को खड़े प्रोफेसर जगदीश,
छहसौ पर दस्तखत किए, मिले चार सौ बीस।
मन ही मन कर रहे कल्पना शेष रकम के दान की,
जय बोलो बईमान की !


खड़े ट्रेन में चल रहे, कक्का धक्का खायँ,
दस रुपए की भेंट में, थ्री टायर मिल जायँ।
हर स्टेशन पर हो पूजा श्री टी.टी. भगवान की,
जय बोलो बईमान की !


बेकारी औ’ भुखमरी, महँगाई घनघोर,
घिसे-पिटे ये शब्द हैं, बंद कीजिए शोर।
अभी जरूरत है जनता के त्याग और बलिदान की,
जय बोलो बईमान की !


मिल-मालिक से मिल गए नेता नमकहलाल,
मंत्र पढ़ दिया कान में, खत्म हुई हड़ताल।
पत्र-पुष्प से पाकिट भर दी, श्रमिकों के शैतान की,
जय बोलो बईमान की !


न्याय और अन्याय का, नोट करो जिफरेंस,
जिसकी लाठी बलवती, हाँक ले गया भैंस।
निर्बल धक्के खाएँ, तूती होल रही बलवान की,
जय बोलो बईमान की !


पर-उपकारी भावना, पेशकार से सीख,
दस रुपए के नोट में बदल गई तारीख।
खाल खिंच रही न्यायालय में, सत्य-धर्म-ईमान की,
जय बोलो बईमान की !


नेता जी की कार से, कुचल गया मजदूर,
बीच सड़कर पर मर गया, हुई गरीबी दूर।
गाड़ी को ले गए भगाकर, जय हो कृपानिधान की,
जय बोलो बईमान की !

Petrol Price Hike



Some friends here feel that the petrol price hike was inevitable and its not linked to corruption - the truth is, it wasn't and it is! There are a few points one should ponder upon before jumping to quick conclusions:

1. Fuel prices in India are already much more than in many other countries due to a numbers of taxes and levies. Why doesn't the Govt consider lowering these taxes before allowing the hike in fuel prices?

2. Why is it that diesel is still being subsidised when several recommendations have been made to bring diesel prices at parity with that of petrol? Isn't it in effect, collecting the money from middle class in form of petrol price hike and bribing the farmers and SUV/MUV owners?

3. Delhi based industrialist Bharat Ram says, "There are mainly two large manufacturers who produce primarily diesel vehicles and, through the automobile associations, they have a strong lobby to keep status quot. Only one out of 10 vehicles was running on diesel "some years ago" . At present, there is a gap of Rs 20.62 a litre between the price of the two motor fuels in Delhi."http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-10/india-business/29527886_1_petrol-and-diesel-litre-diesel-vehicles

4. There are lakhs if not millions of Govt vehicles plying on the roads, ferrying NETAS and BABUS. Who pays for the fuel in these vehicles? Why hasn't the Govt. considered moving to cleaner fuels like CNG? Their vehicles still run on precious petrol and diesel?

5. A lot of people say that hiking the price of petrol is beneficial for the environment. Have you ever asked the Govt. why urban mass transport systems (in most cities) are in complete disarray and inefficient? Do you feel people travel by own expensive transport out of choice? Why don't we have an efficient metro rail in all metro cities and efficient mass transport in other cities? Isn't this a deficiency in governance and complete disregard for the people?

6. We would not like to reveal the source but we have been told that the petrol prices are being hiked to bring the price to a level to make it profitable for private operators to enter the fray again, they quit the business few years back since they could not compete with the subsidized fuel sold by Govt owned companies!!! Not possible without greasing a few palms and really big ones for that matter!!!

7. Why is the Govt not taxing these private vehicles heavily and investing the money on efficient public transport systems? Instead what we get is, several new car launches every month, That is the only way to cut down the consumption of fossil fuels!!!
