US: Take Action to Stop Violence Against Women

Every day, millions of women and girls across the world are beaten and abused. They are someone’s mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends. Many are abused in their homes by members of their family or community. Others are raped or harassed by the very security forces that are meant to protect them. Some victims of gender-based violence are employed outside their homes, some are not. Some are rich, some are poor. Some are literate, some are not. They have only one thing in common: they are female, and they are abused because of it.

The International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) is a major step in the effort to end violence against women and girls across the globe. It directs the U.S. government to create a comprehensive, 5-year strategy to reduce violence in 10-20 diverse countries identified as having severe levels of violence against women.

a ticket to God's house!

Ever thought about buying an entry ticket to reach God? Well here is your chance now to bribe or bid for the best seat at the God's house.

Last year I planned to take a tour of some famous temples in South India. my first stop was at Tirupathi Balaji...one of the greatest all time Balaji's Temple with all the modern and comfortable facilities for all the thousands of worshipers who drop in daily. I was bowled over by the excellent 24-hour service with they provided, with tranquil availability of all the basic needs for the worshippers, from guest rooms as low as 50re/day, to serving free food in form of maha-prasadam to the massive flock of temple devotees.

Okie! You havent heard anything yet. How about an automated system at the temple? Yes, am still at Tirupathi Balaji Temple, a very hi-fi system of maintaining all the devotees with its computerized system of ticketing for darshana, and allocating all the services to meet the basic needs in no time. You would really agree that God is the 'Super-Computer' of all technologies till date. And mind you, did you know that at Tirupathi Balaji majority of devotees sacrifice their hair to the God as a token of their wishes being granted, and this is one of the biggest temples in South India which earns lakhs of rupees daily by selling those hair abroad. Now I salute the temple for providing free services to the genuine devotees.

Happily departing Balaji, my next stop was at Rameshwaram. To my greatest astonishment, where I always longed to have visited, the place where Lord Rama have once been, is now a commercialized spot for ripping off tourist. The usual 50re to take an entry ticket into the temple is the first main point looting. And as you would take a tour around the temple, there are several wells believed to have holy water which if sprinkled will bring prosperity and good health. But before falling into this trap, one should be fully prepared to empty their pockets into to receive prosperity. Each well has someone standing there and pouring holy-water unto you, and in return its a must to pour several coins.

And as I moved around I got more shocking experience, and very disheartened to the exploitation of God's house by His own sons and daughters.

Anyways, when remembering my very own Indo-fijian temples and worship houses, I felt a sense of pride from within, atleast here I dont have to buy a ticket to the God's house.

Happily arriving home, started worship with great pride and strength. But not for very long. Heard that the tickets are being dispersed freely over here as well... the saints and sages whom I have known to be immensed in the worship of God are now themselves are an advertisement for a ticket to God's house.

God! Are u listening? Are u watching? Why is it getting expensive to worship you? We'll soon go under a bankruptcy but reaching u is getting even harder. Please do something.

How true is this???

I came across these articles, very surprising indeed. There are so many undiscovered talents and truth which may take another few more centuries to fully discover. But am still wondering how true is this article because so far I have been able to fins any related news sites reporting on this article. Have a read and see!

India is the richest country in the world now. How?
Shock for the Nation!!! (Believe it or not)
Do you know that India is the richest country in the world! Right now, India is the richest country in the world! Wondering how? It's really amazing. It's due to Mr. G Vaidyaraj, who donated all his Wealth, about which he actually did not know.He is a descendent of Raja Krishnadev Raya from Mysore district.
For the last 300 years or so, three stones were worshipped in his house.But nobody tried to see what it was, except this person, who is a lawyer by profession.One day, when there was nobody in his house, he took the stone out to see what it was that they worship. Due to the dust deposited on it, from many many years, it looked only like a simple stone.But when he touched it, some portion of the stone was cleansed.
And he saw a bright ray of light.He saw something which attracted his attention. And he was amazed when he cleaned all of them.The whole room was filled with light.
He discovered they were diamonds of about 4600 carats each.He informed the Govt. of IndiaUK .
India can buy virtually 7 developing nations. Even World Bank does not have enough money to buy it. One diamond costs thrice the debt of World Bank over India .
One such diamond can buy 10 Bill Gates to you. And the World Bank has proposed the Indian Govt. that it can pay India in Installment if it wishes to do so. India 's GDP is 34.25 billion dollars. Bill Gates property is 95 billion dollars approximate so that is the way "nature changes". Mr. Manmohan Singh has refused to sell it.
He said it will be sold or mortgaged for credit when we need it. Otherwise right now we have no problems.You can go through Times of India with a small column on it a week ago. Star TV presented a 115 min documentary on it about 15 days ago. The Hindu with its half page article in it. After that it was censored as classified. and the news is censored with its security. It's now deposited in a Swiss Bank.The cost of single diamond exceeds the GDP of USA +

Another good news...
is that in the Desert of Thar a deposit of Oil and Natural gas have been found. This stores what Kuwait has in its stomach. India can go with this ONGC energy reserve with another 30 years. And moreover it can export it to other counties. It's incredible!! But true.

India's Einstein
An Indian boy in his 12th standard has disproved Einstein's "Theory of Relativity". Shocked? Read on...
Sudarshan Reddy has theoretically proven the existence of a sub-atomic particle, which can travel at speed greater than that of light, thereby challenging one of the fundamental postulates of the "Theory of Relativity". In his recent research paper submitted to the Institute of Advanced Physics (IAP) at Trieste ( Italy ), Sudarshan has proved the existence of a class of sub-atomic particles called "leptons",which can travel faster than light.The international physics community is shocked bythis discovery. Dr.Massimo Martelli, President of the IAP has this to say about the paper submitted by Sudarshan."After long, careful and critical analysis, I can confidently say that Sudarshan's re search papers show tremendous leap in our understanding of physics. His investigation mounts up on "leptons". His work builds substantially on the work of Einstein and others in the field of relativity." When physicists from Princeton University tried to measure Sudarshan's IQ with an IQ-meter (at the American Embassy in Delhi ),the meter broke down. Sudarshan, incidentally, is the brother of Madhu Reddy, the Indian whiz kid who developed an operating system superior to Microsoft Windows. We should all be very proud of these boys.

Uselessly Confused!

Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Week and Months. Passing like eons...
I want to build myself,
but I am still small.
I want to help my friends,
but I am still poor.
I want to keep everyone happy,
but I am still sad.
What is the meaning of LIFE?
I want to know this,
but I seem to forget this word very often!

why sweet memories are painful?

I have always been wondering about this statement...'why sweet memories are painful?' Some may agree with me, or not but this is exactly what I think.

Morning I woke up with my best pal's sms... "Y al seem vr unhappy who finished mys uni? Was der some kind curse? I don understand whomever I talk they al complain abt life, cry from unhappiness, r u happy? ?" This is what Moon wrote to me! Well to answer this, I would say NO! But we have to evaluate this No, and ask why the answer is NO! Why all students whom we know in Mysore University are not happy after finishing their courses and going back home? We all should be happy because we have successfully completed our mission and are once again back with family and friends, right? It took a lot of time to evaluate this.
Remembering the days how we cried and longed to be back home soon, and hating our so-called temporary home like anything. And now why do we want to go back to the same suffering again? Why do we now tend to like that creepy place we used to call?
The answer is because at home we were living in a support-zone where we knew we are being backed-up with friends and families. Where we had nothing to worry about. Had family, friends, home where you have grown up, your very own people and the familiar surrounding where you can freely move about. And all of a sudden finding yourself in a zone where everything is alien, shocked us to such an extend that we never noticed the beauty in it, but just the negatives which with no-doubt all the country has. M I right?
While having this feeling, we became close to people who also had such feelings so that we could tittle-tattle as much about the place. And thats how we comforted ourselves and started to live.
But slowly without even realizing we even started enjoying the same atmosphere in each others company. We made news family and friends from across the globe. Shared our feeling, lifestyle, language, food and smile. Than we realized that Mysore University is just too awesome, it was just our loneliness which was bothering us, and it is actually a very beautiful place with a wonderful culture and tradition. But unfortunately it was too late to realize as it was time to say bye and go back to our real homes.
Now that we all are home, as a typical human behavior, we are still living in our past. We are now missing the wonderful memory which we all created together and missing our days back at Mysore University. And why we are finding it difficult to get out of this so-called unhappy mood soon like we adjusted in the alien land? Its because as back at our own homes, we don't have anyone else to share the joy which we have experienced as a foreign community at Mysore University. Bet no one would ever understand the insane bunch of our memories, but its only us to cherish and love it forever.
Hope Moon I have answered your question. The only thing we can do now is to cherish that memory and live with the present, which yet again as a human its very hard to follow, but one has to take control over mind.
When memories are painful, it definitely means is has been sweet, because if u have an enemy, you would want to forget them as soon as you can and take them out of your life. But for a memory so sweet and happy, we would not want to miss it even for a glimpse, maybe thats the reason for sweet memories to be painful!
