That was the first time i watched "The Big Fight" show in the NDTV- India's most popular news channel other than the CNN IBN. Later i got enticed by the show. Cogent arguments were made. The topic they were discussing was the Financial Crisis around the world. It is known to all, but a related topic was roped into it and it was on the home loans in India and the US. I thought it was a less known fact and thereby making it much visible here...

The Difference!!

The basic and the most vital difference between the home loans in India and the US are based on values. But on what value?? The answer - The US home loans are based on the land value and the Indian home loans are based on the individual's earning capability!!

Well, to dig in deep, an US citizen can take more home loans when his land value rises. And regarding the Indian home loans, the individual can borrow home loans when his earnings increase.

Which well has water??

To discuss about the benefits i would with some reasons support the Indian home loan fundamentals. The reason is with its its fundamentals. An individual, in general, always climbs up the ladder. To be specific, he always has increments. Only a few experience decrements and thats not the scenario!! Thus the decision arrives holding a valid argument with Indian home loan fundamentals that an individual can always burrow more loans as his earnings ar always incremented.

On the other pan, the US home loans stating the land value has a slight disadvantage over the Indian fundamentals, may over the rest too... Land values are mostly restricted to the cities and towns. The people living in the rest are never benefited. The land value can rise if its situated near a celebrity home or near a tourist spot or something else. Only people who live on or near such places are the benefactors and that makes the rest move to the hard corner.

Any refute??....

Rome was (and still is) one of the greatest cities in the world. The famous saying "Rome Was Not Built In A Day" reveals the greatness and splendor of Rome. Their are many places of architectural and historical significance in Rome.

Dan Brown's Angels and Demons sheds light on some of these important monuments. Although the story is the product of author's imagination, the places and monuments described in the novel actually exists.

Here we take a look at the "Four Altars Of Science" as described in the novel.

They are:

1.Habakkuk and the Angel:




According to the novel, Habakkuk and the Angel is the first altar of science situated inside Chigi Chapel. It is a tribute to "Earth" one of the 4 fundamental elements.

2. West Ponente:




According to the novel, West Ponente is the next altar of science situated at Saint Peter's Square. It is the tribute to the second fundamental element "Air".

3. The Ecstacy Of St. Theresa:



According to the novel, the Ecstacy Of St. Theresa is the next altar of science situated inside Santa Maria della Vittoria. It is a tribute to the third fundamental element "Fire".

4. The Fountain Of Four Rivers:




According to the novel, the Fountain Of Four Rivers is the last altar of science. It is situated at Piazza Navona. It is a tribute to fourth and final fundamental element "Water".

Apart from these, there are various other historical places of interest depicted in the book, which will be explored later.

This post is a sequel to the "Tom Hanks Special" post, and as promised I pen down my admiration for some of his masterpiece performances! First I start with the film that me a Tom Hanks fan, Cast Away!!


Watch it, and I guarantee you'll fall in love with his histrionics! You have no other choice but to watch only Tom for most part of the movie! But believe me, it surely isn't boring... Tom carries the movie forward single handed, along with his companion Wilson (a volley ball) with which he does most of the talking! It is distinctly visible that he had bent over backwards to alter his physical frame as the storyline proceeds! At the beginning he seems portly but I was really shocked to see his frame at the end of his stay in the island, miserably shrunk! And his emotional battles during the climax will move any human! Great effort indeed!



Wilson, the lone companion!















Adversity brings the best out of anyone!!

Late leaders like Indira Gandhi, M.G.Ramachandran and few remarkable persons are still the most respected among the people of India, when it comes to the area of Politics and Nobility. But modern day politicians, except few, are a burden to the people. Neither the ruling party nor the opposition party are perfect, or atleast the least perfect. Sometimes the ruling party, of course, to sustain its popularity has to implement so called people beneficiary plans. The opposing party always mocks down the plan and criticizes them. In the end, the people get affected. The parties in general debate over the ineffective issues and waste people's money. They even waste the valuable columns of the newspapers preventing the valuable news from appearing big too.

The SINGUR issue !!

Here is an incident that happened in recent as a proof to the above said. Singur, a town in West Bengal, does not know what an industrial revolution mean! The renowned TATA motors had surprised the business world with its innovative creation called "NANO". The Chief of the TATA groups, Ratan TATA, had announced the NANO's delivery at Singur. The company had acquired thousands of acres of farming land from around 12000 farmers. The West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, had assisted the company in the land acquisition with a reasonable compensation. Some 3000 farmers had opposed it, and this brought in the villain to the scene- She is the Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee. Eying the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, she lead the agitations against the TATA motors forcing them to stall the project for a while. The Chief Minister, if he had given the reason to settle the issue, would have surely solved the cased. The farmers would have gained more compensation. But the resistive opposing leader, pretending to care for its leaders has paved the way for the TATA's to exit the state. The state suffers a terrible loss now. Why?


The ill fate !!

West bengal is one of the states, where industrial revolution is less recognized. The state needed some investments and industries to be set up for a much need growth of its self! The announcement of the TATA's about the NANO brought in hopes for the land. The industry, if it had succeeded well would definitely lift the state's efficiency and adaptation. But due to the ill fate and the reckless oppositions, the state has lost its golden opportunity, infact its inevitable prosperity.

The TATA's would certainly offer jobs to the Singur residents. In the end, its the people of the town who are benefited! But the opposition has no ears to such reasons that they simply want to be focused. The TATA,s have shifted their base to Gujarat. The farmer's have no manure now!! The oppositions have lead to the downfall of the state's growth rate. What do they have to now answer its people?? Its all upto the Trinamool Congress Leader to reply this.

This is an example of how Indian politicians behave on serious issues. It is in the hands of the people to find the golden goose for the golden egg!!

General knowledge is essential for all. It helps man to to stand tall among the rest possessing infinite knowledge. Trust me, Knowledge help you earn respect.

Well guys, will be posting more on this general facts section. So do look in frequently.

Sometimes people get unknown calls. They may be sales calls or wrong calls. People feel good when they can get some information about such calls as they are very much keen in knowing them. Where to get such information?? or where can you feed such information?? Here is a solution. Report annoying phone calls and help other users to know more about them. You can also provide tips on the expectations over the call. The site Report phone numbers have found a solution to the never ending problem with sales or wrong calls.

Broadly speaking there are two kinds of people in this world- the ones who hit the sack early and are up and running before the sun is over the horizon (Also called nerds or shall we say freaks!!). The second group of people are those cool ones who burn the proverbial mid night oil watching latest flicks in Dvd's or hanging around in pubs and having a pint of beer or two.

The sane working world seems to have been tailor made for the morning larks. A typical day for a working professional starts early in the morning leaving no time for those poor night owls to catch some well deserved rest. As the result, they turn up at the work place with puffy and burning eyes. Their work efficiency takes a beating and they are often over looked for "the long hard climb up the corporate ladder". And whats worse? The firm wherein the night owls work wind up for the day just as the owls tune up to work at their full efficiency.

True, there are many factories and other work places where in shift system is being followed where the owls can work at their preferred hour. But in most of the firms, the owls start the race from the pit lane and therefore are at a dis advantage right from the word go. Gone are those days when people followed the age old proverb- "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man wealthy and wise". The companies should introduce staggered timings so as to ensure that both the owls and larks are given equal opportunities to work at their preferred work hours. This will also increase their productivity and efficiency.

We had written about difficulties the animals had and have been facing at the Vandalur zoo. The authorities don’t really care about the animals. Here is a news that is an authentication to the above said point. Yesterday (10^th of September), the zoo lost three of its wards (cause they care for them). A female lion, a baby bear which is just 3 months old and a rare and nearly extinct Gharial crocodile died due to some reason. The zoo authorities were not able to speak out the cause and as usual they left words saying that the reason was to be investigated. This incident would surely prove the inability of the zoo to maintain animals. The concerned officials or some organization must come up to put an end to this or at least save the animals kept in captivity. Hope they are cared more from now onwards....

Since from time immemorial man has always been fascinated by gadgets and strived to improve his life style by inventing new "kewl" gadgets which made his life easier.

To say about the birds at the Vandalur Zoo, they are cared better than the animals. May be for the reason they are small. :) Anyways!! The zoo has a lot of birds and a lot of variety among them. The Peacocks welcomes us to the birds section. The Blues and the white species are separately preserved. The Peacock being the National animal of India has no trouble at the place. The Pheasants are displayed in the next section. There are a variety of Pheasants; I don’t remember their names actually, so please excuse me for that!! Gray color Pheasants, red color Pheasants and a 3 color Pheasant like bird were in display. Some more Pheasants were there but they resembled more like the ordinary Chickens.

The next section had parakeets; I love these kinds of birds a lot!!! I didn’t know there are so many kinds of them. There were round red necked parakeets, yellow necked parakeets, long tailed parakeets and many. The zoo even had a Scarlet Macaw, and it was just beautiful as a rainbow!! Prettier than Scarlet Johnson… :) And there were little birds like the lapwings, cockatoos, partridges, cockatiels too. They were the ones that can make people feel cool
under the hot sun!!

And there were two huge parrots in one cage… Guess they were Mountain Parrots. Those two were eating Bread and Red Chilies and were happily singing. Bladezz and I were recording that in a mobile and we whistled at them to grab their attention. The birds reacted to our whistle and

sang back in the same tone. We were amazed. We didn’t know these birds have had such good talents!! And bladezz has that video but he is in Bangalore right now!! So will post the video as soon as he comes… till then take care….

Well, I have been learning to drive a two wheeler for the past two three weeks (though it was very late for my age). I get to drive only for half an hour, sometimes for an hour too!! Now am happy that I have thoroughly learnt to ride a bike, but I got to practice in the traffic. But something pretty interesting has happened and is happening during the course time. I dint get a chance to drive the bike for around 6 times (6 days) and I noticed that it coincided with something else. I go to my uncle's place everyday in the evening (he gives his two wheeler for practicing) by my cycle. I get transformed to a kid whenever I am in my cycle and just love my driving, making curves in the road and cutting other vehicles. So naturally I don’t notice the banners on the roadsides.

But I sometimes see a banner of a beef shop that has the WWE superstar "The Rock" in it. It was only in the third time I realized that I couldn’t get a chance to drive whenever I see that picture of "The Rock". Today I saw that picture again and just slowed my cycle and thought whether I would not get a drive. Alas!! The same happened. My uncle had an important work, so he flew away with the bike and I just spent the time in his house watching an excellent innings from Owais Shah who scored 96 of 102 balls in the county cricket (saw the highlights) .Well, if it was for only one time then it would have been an ordinary miss. But it had happened for six times and am still puzzled about it!! If anyone could figure out the reason, then do tell me!!

Lion-tailed Macaque:

The Lion-tailed Macaque is a sociable creature found only in the Western Ghats of South India and is listed in the endangered species. There number in the wild comes to around 2500. Efforts have been taken to improve there number. Perhaps this animal is the most nursed one at the Vandalur Zoo. Protein rich food is provided. We had a chat with the keeper of these animals and he said that they were given boiled eggs every day. Only this animal is fed with boiled eggs whereas others are provided with the raw ones. The Lion-tailed Macaque is a soft animal and is nearing extinction.

Chimpanzee:

There are two Chimpanzees at the zoo. I have seen them for years. Of course Chimps are long living ones. These Chimps play a lot and are most attractive among the animals. The Chimp does its human stuffs and amazes the visitors. It even folds its legs to sit like a man. But there are no watchers for this animal. People shout at these animals and some even throw stones. They bully the animal and it hurts. People will never realize that it is wrong. And may be for this reason or so one of the animal had preferred its stay at a man made rest i guess!!

Some Facts:

• Chimpanzees share more than 98 percent of the human DNA.
• Chimpanzees are vulnerable to many human diseases
