Potpourri!

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??....

The title may sound weird! But registering ones death is of great importance. The first question that springs in the mind is where to head to fetch a death certificate.
I came across a one stop website which caters to the death certificate queries of the citizens of all the states right from Virginia to Texas! So thought this info would be helpful for all those confused with death certificate procedures and hence am sharing it.

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!!
