Know your personality with Finger Print

It is already an accepted fact that every single person in the world has a different set of fingerprints. The Chinese have devised a way to read personality & destiny traits by studying the waves and the circles that appear at the tips of everyone's fingers - indeed so convinced are they that in the old days the fingers of prospective daughters-in-law were carefully scrutinized by prominent families to ensure they did not unwittingly welcome women who had fingers that showed alternate circles and waves on their fingers, as it was commonly believed that such women would bring trouble into the family, being particularly difficult to control and usually very aggressive.

Here, we bring you some indications of destiny & personality traits based on the circles and waves on the five fingers of each hand. Guys should examine their left hands while women should look at their right hands.

Here are the two different patterns of circles and waves seen on every finger. To make a reading, look at your thumb print first, then your index finger, your middle finger, your ring finger and then your little finger in that order. This is the sequence that offers clues to your destiny & fortunes of your life.
For ease of reference we shall refer to circles as Os and to waves as Ws.

Shape: OOOOO (all Circles)
Means: This person is very confident, has a strong character and a hot temper. He/she is an independent person. The luck of this person changes dramatically in life from one period to the next. The undoing of this person will be his/her hot temper so it is vital that this person must learn to be patient and calm.

Shape: WWWWW (all waves)
Means: This person is a straightforward honest person who goes with the flow. The fingers indicate someone very sensitive, who is especially suited to design and creative work. People with these fingerprint patterns tend to be shy and uncomfortable in social situations, so are not suited to work in PR, politics or any kind of work requiring them to meet people.

Shape: OWWWO
Means: If you can choose a prestigious working career, you will be very successful. However, you should avoid the tendency to get big-headed and you must never take your career for granted. You should also watch your back, as you tend to attract jealousy into your life and could get betrayed. Always look for long-term benefits.

Flaws of our own

A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the House, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. And miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.


After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said.

The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?
That's because I have always known about your flaw. So I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house?
Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. Remember to appreciate all the different people in your life.

Onionspecial

Hi friends :),

I got this, its interesting.. Please have a look, who knows it may work with us too :)

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu.

Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died..

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ... She said that several years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick.. It must work.. (And no, she is not in the onion business.)
The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in bowls around your home. If you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under your desk or even on top somewhere. Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.

If this helps you and your loved ones from getting sick, all the better. If you do get the flu, it just might be a mild case..

Whatever, what have you to lose? Just a few bucks on onions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:

Weldon,thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmers story...but, I do know that I contacted pneumonia and needless to say I was very ill...I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion put one end on a fork and then place the forked end into an empty jar...placing the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said the onion would be black in the morning from the germs...sure enough it happened just like that...the onion was a mess and I began to feel better.

Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.

A bitter experience with Sony Ericsson service Centre

I had a bitter experience with one of the authorised (!!!) service centers for Sony Ericsson mobile phones.

I have a k850i mobile. The warranty period has ended for the same. When I had a touch screen problem I got it serviced in Fourgen Communication Pvt. Ltd. I was mentioned that the keypad need to be changed for the problem. I agreed and they changed the same along with the software and charged me Rs.965

When checked with them during the service, I was told that they are using the original Sony spares only. No details about the warranty period of the spare was discussed during the repair. I got the mobile repaired and I checked for the condition, it was working fine.

Within a month from the date of repair, my mobile had the problem again with the touch screen. When I went to the service center and inquired, I got a reply that the part changed comes with only a week's warranty and as I am coming after a month with the same problem, they will charge me again. I never heard of any original Sony parts coming with only a week warranty!!!

I argued with the person-in-charge Mr. HARISHANKAR (9094188789) he rudely replied that it was me who has done something to the mobile. He did write about the one week warranty in the bill I received for the repair while I went asking for the repair again. I am not sure how to deal with this as I never heard of any spare part coming with a week's warranty.

Has any one faced such issues with any other service centers of SE???

I have put an online complaint in complaints.com "&http://www.complaints.com/2009/december/28/Sony_Ericsson_autorised_service_is_poor_in_Chenna_223451.htm"

Complaint # 223451

Address of the service center:

Healthy diet: Do's & Don'ts

Just recommendations!!!

Did you know that you should avoid consuming dairy products along with with citrus foods? Or that starving yourself actually makes the body retain fat? These simple dietary tips can make a big difference to your wellness, so sit up and take notice.

Try to eat your breakfast within one hour of waking up, as it will help speed up your metabolism. Metabolism slows down during the night and breakfast helps kick-start it up again. If you wait longer, your body begins to go into starvation mode and your metabolism begins to slow down even more.

Eat bread along with the crust, as the crust contains 6 times more antioxidants than the light-coloured innards of the bread.

Drink lemon juice and honey in warm water early in the mornings, it reduces water retention and helps in digestion.

Avoid drinking cold water or cold beverages after a meal, as it leads to indigestion: Drinking cold water after the meal solidifies the oily food that you have just consumed. This slows down the digestion. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

Eat water-filled foods like cantaloupe (kharbooja), watermelon, pineapple, spinach and cabbage as they are low in calories and will make you feel fuller.

Eat fruits and vegetables with the skins, as there are many nutrients just under the skin. Skins also add fibre and texture to your food. Also, it's healthier to have a fruit instead of its juice -- the juice gives you no fibre.

Add 1 teaspoon of wheat bran (chokker) per roti in wheatflour to increase insoluble fibre in your diet. Most people think of fruits and vegetables when they think of fibre, but actually it is the fibre in wheat bran that weight loss specialists talk about when they suggest fibre intake. The fiber in fruits and vegetables, though quite useful, is in much lesser quantity.

Wash vegetables before cutting or chopping to minimize nutrient loss.

Eat slowly, as it prevents overeating. To slow down, put down your cutlery after every two bites. And chewing well helps to digest food better than just swallowing it -- it helps you avoid overeating.

Try an occasional fast, as it gives the digestive system a rest and refreshes the senses, mind, and consciousness. According to the Ayurveda, fasting strengthens both will power and bodily health.

When breaking a fast, avoid eating lots of heavy foods as they can cause water retention, blood pressure fluctuations and toxin accumulation.

Eat moderately, as the stomach needs working space -- fill it half with food, a fourth with liquids and leave the rest for air.

When you feel the urge to snack on something, have a sugar-free chewing gum -- it can help to control the appetite, decrease cravings for snacks and reduce calorie intake, while helping to maintain alertness and energy levels through the afternoon.

Avoid eating fatty foods before a workout, as they are slow to digest and remain in the stomach for a long time. Fat content in the food will pull blood into the stomach because that aids in fat digestion. This can cause cramping and discomfort while working out.

Avoid eating too many types of food in a single meal, as conflicting foods like dairy products and citrus fruit may upset the digestion.

Vegetables should be lightly sauted (a method of cooking using small amount of fat in a shallow pan over high heat) to preserve nutrition.

Honey should not be cooked, as it slows digestion that way. The molecules become a non-homogenised glue that adheres to mucous membranes and clogs subtle channels, producing toxins. Adding honey to a cup of hot tea (not boiling) or salad dressing is acceptable.

Do not combine iron-rich foods with dairy products like paneer as that leads to nutrient loss. To increase your iron levels, have a lot of citrus fruit -- Vitamin C adds to the iron absorption.

Consuming too much red meat can lead to hypertension and heart problems hence should be had sparingly.

Non-vegetarians should avoid dairy products like cheese and paneer along with meat intake. Non-veg food is high in cholesterol, hence it's important to avoid other foods which can have an additive effect on one's cholesterol, like dairy products.

Choose brown rice instead of normal rice, it helps in weight loss.

Avoid starvation at all costs, as this signals your body to get into famine mode and it retains fat more effectively.

An all-protein diet with the exclusion of carbohydrates can mess up your digestive system, leading to kidney and liver disorders. Non-vegetarians should eat foods rich in enzymes such as papaya and pineapple to help in the digestion of proteins.

Instant acidity remedy: Try eating chilled banana, chilled sabudana (sago) pudding or chilled curd. If these foods are unavailable to you then drink lots of water and eventually the acidity will subside.

High blood pressure home remedy: Eat a clove of garlic each day.

If you are on a diet and feel like having a snack, eat an apple. If you aren't hungry enough to eat an apple, you aren't hungry enough for a snack.

Don't have fruit immediately after a meal. It will bloat your stomach with air. It is advisable to have fruits at least one hour before a meal.

Don't bathe immediately after a meal. Blood flow to your hands and legs increases, reducing the circulation around stomach and slowing down digestion.

Don't have tea immediately after a meal. Tea after a meal makes protein digestion difficult.

Do not substitute water with other fluids like coffee, soda, tea and juice. All these contain caffeine which is a known diuretic and will cause fluid loss. Also, the best time to drink water is 1.5 hours before and 1.5 hours after meals. Adjusting water intake to meal-times prevents the blood from becoming concentrated. Concentrated blood draws water from the cells around it.

Uncooked cabbage restricts the conversion of sugar and carbohydrates into fat and hence helps in weight reduction.

To decrease the craving for sweets, pop a small piece of jaggery in your mouth after meals.

Saunf (aniseed), methi (fenugreek) powder and laung (cloves) help to balance the blood sugar and control hunger. These spices are also a good source of bioflavonoids that are antioxidants and protect the liver from getting damaged.

Skipping meals is bad if you are in your 20s and worse if you are in your 30s or beyond. During the 20s, skipping meals doesn't affect your body as your metabolic rate is high and you tend to lose weight faster. But do keep in mind that you will lose out on essential nutrients and your haemoglobin levels will drop. After the age of 30, skipping meals to lose weight has a reverse effect, as your metabolism slows down.

It's not advisable to check your weight morning and evening everyday, as you will tend to get obsessed about it and start bingeing because food is constantly on your mind. Fix a time every few days or once a week, and monitor your weight. Make it a point to weigh yourself at exactly that time each time.

For people who are anaemic, cook food in iron pots to increase iron content. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in oranges, grapefruits, tomatoes, broccoli and strawberries increases iron absorption, so incorporate these into your diet. Tea or coffee inhibits iron absorption; so avoid having them with meals.

Drink a lot of Water. Contrary to popular belief, excess water does not lead to water retention.

Choose wine, whisky, vodka and rum over beer. Team them with water or soda, not aerated drinks and juices.

Frequent small meals are better than large meals at long intervals. Having frequent small meals will help you decrease your food cravings and also decrease acidity. Long gaps in meals aggravate acidity and thus you tend to put on weight.

Avoid tinned foods to keep your weight in check. Processed and tinned foods have high fat content and contain larger amounts of salt and various chemicals added for longer preservation. All of these lead to obesity.

Avoid excess salt at night, it is harmful for hypertension and even aggravates water retention.

Pick roasted food over fried food.

Munching while watching television is the worst thing you can do to yourself. Not only do you eat wrong, you also end up eating much more than required. If you tend to munch, then opt for healthier alternatives like fruit

Self Confidence - As you call it!

A businessman was deep in debt and could see no way out. Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.

Suddenly an old man appeared before him.

"I can see that something is troubling you," he said.

After listening to the executive's woes, the old man said, "I believe I can help you."

He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand saying, "Take this money.
Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time."

Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.

The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000 signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world!

"I can erase my money worries in an instant!" he realized. But instead, the executive decided to put the uncashed check in his safe.

Just knowing it was there might give him the strength to work out a way to save his business, he thought.

With renewed optimism, he negotiated better deals and extended terms of payment.
He closed several big sales. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the uncashed check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. But just as the executive was about to hand back the check and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man.

"I'm so glad I caught him!" she cried. "I hope he hasn't been bothering you.
He's always escaping from the rest home and telling people he's John D. Rockefeller. "

And she led the old man away by the arm.

The astonished executive just stood there, stunned. All year long he'd been wheeling and dealing, buying and selling, convinced he had half a million dollars behind him.

Suddenly, he realized that it wasn't the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around.
It was his newfound self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after

Love Story!!!

This is a story of Parul and Rahul. Parul, a 25-year old workaholic who is working in a software firm. Parul came to office at 9 or 10 in the morning and left at 11 or 12 at night. Even on weekends she would come down to office. She had no social life, no friends. The only people she use to be with were her project mates. But there was no assurance that she would be having her lunch or tea with them. Basically she was all a loner. There was no love life in her life and she had no time for love. All her time was devoted to work

Rahul, use to be a workaholic like Parul 2 years back. But now things had changed. He was no more workaholic but still he use to stay in office. Office had become home for him.

One night while Parul was all alone and working at the office a mail popped up in her mailbox. The name of the sender was Rahul Mehra. She had not met him, never heard about him. Just out of curiosity she checked his mail. The content of the mail was

Hi Parul,

I see you every night sitting in the office till very late. Don't you have friends? Don't you feel like talking to your roommate?
You should not sit very late in the office. this is a genuine advice from me.

Thanks,
Rahul Mehra

After reading the mail, Parul was very angry on the sender. She simply deleted the mail and said to herself "who is he to give me any advice?". She again got back to her work.

After that night, every night Rahul would keep sending her mails and Parul would simply delete them without even reading the content of the mail. But one fine night the subject line attracted her and she had to open the mail. The subject line of the mail was "Hi Gorgeous"

Hi Gorgeous,

Yes today you are looking very gorgeous in this red saree. I know you don't read my mails as you don't like the advices I give you.
So today I wont give you any advice, I will just say that I am love with you. You know you are very beautiful and if you take care of yourself many men will fall in love with you.
I am sure someday you will also fall in love with me. And then we will go out for a date.
Oh before I end the mail I must tell you that the best thing about is that smile. Or is it those intense which needs some sleep at the moment.

Take care dear.
Love you.
Rahul Mehra.

After reading the mail she was shocked. A person she had never met, never seen, never spoke to was saying that he was in love with her. She started thinking was this always in his mind. How did he get her id? Where had he seen her? Many questions like this came in her mind. Finally she thought of giving a warning and replied to his mail.

Hi Rahul,

I don't want to spoil your career but if you don't stop sending me mails I will raise an ASHI against you.

Thanks and Regards,
Parul Jain

After this mail, the mails from Rahul stopped coming in Parul's inbox. She thought that finally Rahul has got scared and wont be mailing her again.
After several nights, Parul was resting on her chair and her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes she saw Rahul's mail in her mailbox.

Hi Gorgeous,

With your closed eyes you were dreaming about me, right? Oh sorry for not sending any mails in the last few days.
I was a little busy. I am sure you would have missed me a lot.
One more thing before I forget I want to say that I am not scared of ASHI. An ASHI cant be a reason to stop loving you.

Love you.
Rahul Mehra

Parul was twisting her hair and putting them behind her ears. At that moment itself another mail came from Rahul,

Now stop playing with your hair and leave the office. it is very late.

Love.
Rahul Mehra

Parul was shocked as to how did this person know what she was doing on her desk. She got up to check whether anyone was there in her floor but could find only empty cubicles. She thought maybe he made a wild guess
and decided to leave the office. before leaving she saw another mail from Rahul.

Hi Parul,

Searching for me??? You have started falling in love with me. J

Love you.
Rahul Mehra

Parul was shocked and scared to hell. She simply switched off her machine and ran outside the office. in the next few days she would not open any mails sent by Rahul. One night a mail with subject line "Don't be scared of me" came to her mailbox. First she thought to ignore the mail then she thought lets see what has Rahul written this time.

Hi Parul,

Don't be scared of me. I can say that you are scared of me because of the way you ran out from the office the last time you read my mail.
I know few minutes back you had gone to have coffee. You are thinking how I know this because I can feel you around me.
Only once you also start feeling me you will know that I am near to you. Very near. Just sitting next to you.
I will wait for the night when you start having the same feelings for me.

Will always love you.
Rahul Mehra

Now Parul started thinking was Rahul really in love with her? What he was saying was it true? But how could he know so much about her? How could he say what she was doing and what not? Parul thought lets give a try and see whether Rahul is always in love with her or not. From that night she also started replying to his mail.

Hi Parul,

Do you feel bad if I call you gorgeous?

Love you.
Rahul Mehra

Parul's reply:

Yes Rahul. I don't like this word.
You can address me as Parul, isn't it short and simple. and I love my name a lot.

Thanks and Regards,
Parul Jain

Rahul's reply:

Point noted Parul. But when I am happy, excited I would call you with some special name at that time.

Tomorrow you have your certification so all the best for that.

Love you.
Rahul Mehra

Parul was again shocked as to how does he know about her certification. She had never told him. She replied

Rahul,

Who is the person who is giving you details about me? I had not told you about my certification how do you know it?

Thanks and regards,
Parul Jain

Rahul replied back to her

I know it because I in front of you. Cant you see me? Cant you feel me close to you?
I also know that after 3 days you have your appraisal. Now this you have not told anyone. Just your PM knows about it.
Do you think your PM will give me all these details?

Love you.
Rahul Mehra

Parul not sure of the answer. She knew her PM would not have told Rahul all this but how did Rahul know so much about her was a mystery for her. Finally she thought she will talk to her PM, Rohan.

Next day, she went to her PM's desk. "Hi Rohan. I wanted to ask you something".
Rohan:- "Sure Parul. are you having any issues?"
Parul:- "No. actually I wanted to know about a person named Rahul Mehra."
Rohan was shocked on hearing that name. PM:- "How did you come across this name. has anyone told you about him?"
Parul:- "No one has said anything to me about him. Few days back he started sending me e-mails. First I ignored but then he would give such details which I did just few minutes back. He even knows my appraisal
date."
Rohan (even more shocked):- "Are you sure you got mails from Rahul Mehra only?"
Parul:- "Yes very much. But why do you looked shock?"
Rohan:- "Because Rahul Mehra died 2 years back. He use to sit at the same place where you are sitting. How can a dead person send mails to you."
Parul was shocked. She didn't know how to react to this.
Rohan:- "If you don't believe me then you can try finding his name in the telephone directory. Maybe someone told you about him and because of work stress you started imagining that he is sending you mails."
Parul:- "I am not imagining anything. He has really send me a mail. I can show you in my mailbox."
Rohan:- "Okay Parul I believe you but still I think you should take a break and go home."

Parul was still in shock with the news she got from Rohan. She just did a search on telephone directory for a name with Rahul Mehra and page returned no records. She again checked the mail id and employee number details. She did a search many times that day by putting various combinations but the search page displayed the same message "No matches found for the given search criteria". She could not believe that someone could hack the system and send mails to her from a non-existing id. She attached the mails sent by Rahul and sent it to Rohan as a proof that she was not dreaming.

On seeing the attached mails even Rohan was in shock. He came to Parul's desk. Rohan :- "I think by mistake his id has not been deleted and someone who knows about it is playing with it."

Parul:- "But I checked the details on telephone directory there are no records available for this id."
Rohan:- "Talk to the CCD people and see what they have to say."

She called up the CCD people. They took control over her system and looked at the mail sent by Rahul Mehra. The mail was sent from the from the same computer which Parul was using. The time stamp at which the mails were sent Parul had logged in. Also there was no evidence that a remote desktop connection was made or mail was sent through web mail. Even the CCD people were clueless as to how a mail has been sent from a non-existing id and from Parul's system itself. There were no viruses or Trojans or any other kind of threats on Parul's system. Her anti-virus was up to date. The whole day was gone in finding a loophole as to how did Parul get such a mail in her mailbox. Parul was tired from the day's happening and so she decided to leave early from the office that day.

The next day when Parul came back, she saw a mail from Rahul Mehra. She didn't know whether she should delete that mail or read that mail. She was scared to open the mail. Somehow she gained some courage and opened
the mail. The context of the mail was:-

Hi Parul,

Good to see that you left the office early tonight. I know Rohan told you about my death.
I was also a workaholic like you. I would sit late in the office, even when no one was around me.
I just being at office. I had no friends, no social life. Even on weekends I would use to come to office.
I missed all the fun in my life. Even my death happened at office while I was working.
My dead body was found by the house keeping guy and the security guard at the reception.
I took a lot of work stress which my conscious mind could not bear that day. I ignored all the health problems I was having.
And finally on that night (20. 10. 07, 11:24 PM) all these reasons became responsible for my death.
Now you know why I am not scared of ASHI.
But yes if I was alive then also I wont be scared of ASHI because I have really fallen in love with you but we cant be together until your death.
Now the choice is yours whether you will kill yourself on your own or whether I need to do the honors.
Waiting for your death. Love you always.

Rahul Mehra

With due respect, again!!!

One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops - a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.

At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a Pathan got on. Six feet four, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the conductor and said, "Pathan doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back.

Conductor didn't argue with Pathan, but he wasn't happy about it. The next day the same thing happened – Pathan got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the next..

This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Pathan was taking advantage of poor conductor. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff.

By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong; what's more, he felt really good about himself. So, on the next Monday, when Pathan once again got on the bus and said, "Pathan doesn't pay!"

The driver stood up, glared back at Pathan, and screamed, "And why not?"

With a surprised look on his face, Pathan replied, "Pathan has a bus pass."

Moral: Be sure there is a problem in the first place before working hard to solve one

With due respect:

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House in Washington D.C. One from Japan, another from India and the third, from China.

They go with a White House officer to examine the fence.

The Japan contractor takes out a tape to measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well", he says, "I figure the job will run about $900.($400 for materials, $400 for my team and $100 profit for me)".

The Chinese contractor also does some measuring and figuring, and then says, "I can do this job for $700. ($300 for materials, $300 for my team and $100 profit for me)".

The Indian contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700."

The official, outraged says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"

The Indian contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from China to fix the fence."

"Done!" replies the government official :)

~~:*:Global Warming and You:*:~~

In the month of December'09 there has been lot of hype and fuss about global warming and Copenhagen climate change summit around the world.

How many of us really know about the global warming alias climate change?
How many of us are really concerned about the causes and consequences of global warming?
How many of us really know the steps to prevent the global warming?



Read on to know the answer for all the above questions.

What is Global warming or Climate change?

Global warming is nothing but, the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's surface air and oceans.

What causes Global warming or climate change?

The major cause of global warming is the emission of green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, etc into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, coals, etc.,. Every year 27 billion tones of CO2 are being emitted into atmosphere from various sources across the world. Among the 27b tones of CO2, 30% of CO2 is absorbed by seas & oceans and another 30% of CO2 is absorbed by trees, remaining 40% of CO2 remains in atmosphere which causes imbalance in earth’s nature. India’s total annual CO2 emission is 1.5 billion tons; by average every Indian is responsible for 1.5 tons of co2 emission annually.

While generating 1 unit (kWh) of electricity, 650 grams of CO2 is being emitted into the atmosphere. Petrol and diesel emits around 2.5 kgs of CO2 per litre.

What are the effects of Global warming?

An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, probably including expansion of subtropical deserts. Temperatures are already increasing sharply, glaciers are receding at unprecedented speeds, whole chunks of the Antarctic ice shelf are breaking off, warmer seasons are becoming longer, hurricanes are becoming more severe and floods are causing havoc worldwide. Also Global warming will heavily impact food production.
Climate change will force as many as 100 crore (1 billion) people to migrate over the next four decades

Who are going to be affected by Global Warming?

Almost all the countries in the world are going to be affected by Global Warming. However Countries in Indian Subcontinent are going to be severely affected by Global warming because of its geographical location. By the year 2100, the country called Maldives will not exist and same is case of several island nations. Major part of Bangladesh is going to be submerged under the Bay of Bengal; same is the case of several coastal cities and towns in India (No Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata after 2100).

What can be done to prevent global warming?

We are all responsible for climate change and we all must be part of the solution. Reducing our carbon emission allows you to become part of the solution to climate change. The important steps to prevent global warming are Energy efficiency, reforestation and renewable energy.

What is Energy efficiency?

Energy efficiency is nothing but judicious and efficient usage of various forms of energy like electricity, fuels, etc. Energy efficiency can be the most cost effective and practical than many other measures an individual can take.

 Energy Efficiency @ Residence:
Replace the ordinary light bulbs (incandescent bulbs) with energy efficient CFL lamps, which emits same amount of light but saves up to 75% of electricity. A CFL can save up to 66Kwh of power and reduces C 43Kgs of carbon emission annually.
Turn OFF the lights when you leave a room. Turn off the electrical appliances when not in use; don’t leave any electrical appliance in standby mode

 Energy Efficiency @ Work Place:
Switch OFF your PC monitors even if you go out of your seat for 5 minutes; Shut Down your PC before you leave for the day. This will save you 700 kWh of power and reduces 450 kgs of CO2 emission annually. A PC switched ON over a night can consume around 1.5 kWh of power which could emit around 1kg of CO2 unnecessarily.

 Energy Efficiency @ Travel:
Whenever possible travel by train / bus instead of riding in your vehicle. Commuting to office by public transport or car pooling not only saves the fuel & CO2 emission but also a more safer option and also keeps you fresh & relaxed from the chaotic peak hour traffic. This alone could reduce more than 1 ton of CO2 emission annually.

What is Reforestation?

Another important measure to prevent the climatic change is by increasing the GREEN cover (green forest) globally. The Green cover across the world is coming down swiftly however the CO2 emission is going up, which is causing the imbalance in nature. Each year about 13 million hectares of the world’s green forests are lost due to deforestation, in last 100 years the global tree population has reduced by 50%. You are aware that 30% of the Global CO2 emission is being absorbed by the trees.

How can we increase the green cover?

Everyone should contribute in some way towards the increase of green cover. Make it as a habit of planting a tree on your birthday every year

 Save Paper – Save TREES – Save Environment.

Every one of us aware that papers are produced from the trees. Producing one ton of paper requires 3 times its weight in trees. Newly cut trees account for 65% of the global paper supply! This is also a main reason for the deforestation. We can reduce the cutting of green trees by reducing the usage of papers. Save Paper, stop taking unnecessary print outs and whenever possible print on both sides of the paper.

What is renewable energy?

Renewable energy is the energy generated from natural resources such as sunlight, wind and bio-fuel, which are renewable. This is going to be the only source of energy in future.
Solar energy, wind energy are the most cleanest of renewable energies. India has the resources in abundance to produce solar energy, wind energy. Bio-fuel can be produced from the corn, soya beans, sugar cane, etc. Solar energy could be the cheapest and practical among renewable energies an individual can make.

Beware, Indians are going to be heavily impacted by the global warming in future. Hence every Indian should take responsible action to prevent global warming rather than waiting for the government to request you to act. This message is delivered not only for Indians alone, but for the world citizens.

By now we've got our questions about Global Warming answered. We should realize that we are in a new modern era where results does matter, not the reasons. Better living can’t be made without better environment. So Think and act immediately, let us contribute our part for preventing Global Warming

Lets begin making our contribution to save our earth!!!
