Mother in Hindi is “MAA” where :
M-Mamta (Maternal Love).
A-Anant (Never Ending)
A-Adwitiye (Unparallel)

When God created Earth and his creatures he could not reach everywhere. Then he created Mother whom he sent in every home of his world as his form. As God creates creatures, a mother also creates life. Mother like God does not discriminates between its children and Both irrespective of whether their creations care for them give them unconditional love.
If we care for and respects our mothers God also loves us. Therefore, the easiest way to reach God is serve our parents.

Earlier the street vendor or the local grocery shop was the supplier of all that we needed. But as times changed,the change from Grocer to stores happened. This is a recent change,if I may say,just four yeras or so. That is purely in the Indian context. The local grocer or vendor could be seen haggling with the womenfolk over prices,qualities and requirements. They would prefer men over women for men would pay whatever demanded and ladies...Anyways,men would venture out with wifey dear to buy household stuff.

In Delhi near our house, in Karol Bagh many Russian tourists used to come. After some years one saw some signs in Russian come up in many shops and also people were talking fluent Russian around there. Selling makes one learn new and new languages and things.

Here is an interesting kid who sells his peacock feathers in (I am assuming in Calcutta) - he speaks in Japanese, French, Italian, Arabic, Persian, Russian, and of course English. He is probably not too perfect but at his young age he has mastered the bit that matters to him. I am sure he uses that to great effect.

A Must watch!!

Recent times have been a period of quiet retrospection ,for God had made his presence felt and to stressing that it is he who destines man to live life as he thinks fit.When Man who seeks freedom of soul and body, he is but only seeking what God has given to all his creations as a birth right.I am reminded of two such great writings which intrigue me the nore i read them.So I decided to share them with one and all:
First as stressed in the upanishads:

Freedom
Transliteration

Uru nastanve tan
Uru ksayaya naskrdhi
Uru no yandhi jivase

Music Director : Sankar Jaikishen; Lyrics: Shailendra; Singer: Mukesh

This is one of my all time favorites of Mukesh. I can listen to this again and again at one stretch. The emotions and pathos of the character has been very well brought out by Mukesh in this song..

Her name is Jill Price. Her disease is called hyperthymestic syndrome (from the Greek thymesis, for remembering, and hyper, meaning well above normal).

She can remember EVERY detail from the age of 14. Every means every detail! Like what time she got up, who she met, what she did, what she ate. It is so bad that she cannot sleep as every memory keeps her awake. Every smell and thought or event or place brings the memories flooding in.

Institute of Sensory Analysis and Marketing Consultancy in Göttingen (ISI) and the Oberhausen-based specialist for interactive services Convisual, announced the patent for the smart card-sized chip on Tuesday. So, now soon, you would be able to send not just SMS but also some scents.

The customers would have 100 prefabricated scents to choose from. These scents could now accompany the MMS and SMS. This chip has been in development for 8 years.

What this means is something interesting - that Chemical structure is created from electrical impulses. Now, that sounds very interesting. It is something akin to delibrately changing the matter into energy and then back into matter.

What do you think? Will you be sending some of these scents messages? What would you use it for and most importantly, what scent would you be want?

Switzerland's Large Hadron Collider - cost between $5-10 billion - will be ready this year and the world may never be same again.

The believers in the many dimension explanation for Quantum Physics are increasing. And there is some belief - if not acceptance - for the String theory. There are are many who now believe that there might be 11 dimensions to this creation.

Einstein made one spacetime continuum and we already had 3 space dimension. So how will these dimensions look like? One way to understand is to understand how you understand something. Lets take a product - like marketers do - and assess it on 5 dimensions: User Friendliness; Features; Quality; Cost; Looks. Some would give a score of 5, 6, 3, 6, 4 on a scale of 10. So that is akin to how we find the coordinates of something on the 3 space dimensions and the time dimension.

If you thought that Global Warming itself was the worst thing aroung harming the environment - think again! There is one other thing that is harming the liveable environment very clearly specifically in South Asia and no one is quite talking about it! Its the top soil erosion. After population growth, top soil erosion is second biggest factor affecting the Climate.

Annually the earth loses 1% of topsoil mostly due to agriculture. According to the National Academy of Sciences the cropland in the U.S. is being eroded at least 10 times faster than the time it takes for lost soil to be replaced. The situation is even worse in developing and poor countries. In his book "Plan B: Rescuing a Planet Under Stress and a Civilization in Trouble" - Lester R. Brown says:

As soils erode, land productivity falls. An analysis of several studies on the effect of soil erosion on crop yields in the United States concluded that for each 1 inch of topsoil lost, wheat and corn yields declined by 6 percent. A 1982 USDA Natural Resource Inventory, which measured the loss of topsoil from U.S. cropland at 3.1 billion tons per year, found that excess erosion was concentrated on a small share of the land. It set the stage for the landmark 1985 Conservation Reserve Program.9

Ethiopia, a mountainous country with highly erodible soils on steeply sloping land, is losing an estimated 1 billion tons of topsoil a year. This is one reason why Ethiopia always seems to be on the verge of famine, never able to accumulate enough grain reserves to provide a meaningful measure of food security.

Most of the terrorists in South Asia are using cell phones to carry out their discussions and plan their moves. Now, in the age of technical expertise, its easy to not only locate where a person is.... but also listen to what is going on around and with that person through a stealth way that turns the cell phone into a microphone/listening device - so YOU can listen to what is going within the ear shot of that cell phone.. UNBEKNOWNST to the cell phone owner!!

So, here is how it works:

1. Locate where the cell phone holder is:

You don’t have to plant a CIA-style bug to conduct surveillance any more. A service called World Tracker lets you use data from cell phone towers and GPS systems to pinpoint anyone’s exact whereabouts, any time — as long as they’ve got their phone on them.

Now Google has added Hindi Translation to its translation functionality. I think it was long due and now, I am sure other Indian languages will join in as well! Have you tried this? Just one thing - this translation functionality assumes that the person knows the devanagiri script - and if that be true, then would you need translation? In some cases perhaps for difficult words.. in any case, its a boon for the Hindi knowers!

Last night Obama won North Carolina (56/42%) and lost Indiana (51/49%). He leads in the Super Delegates tally and the delegates. Now, he looks like the favorite to win. Even if Hillary won all the remaining states by 65-35% (something that she has never been able to do), she will still fall short of the delegates count against Barack Obama. So Hillary Clinton despite her injection of $6.5 million of her own money is set for a loss.

Now, this happened AFTER the mess of Rev. Wright with Barack Obama. I thought he was gone last week. Obama was really tired and angry with this idiotic person called Wright. Idiotic because he knows that the media is taking him to town and using him as a weapon. As for his utterings, I am not sure how is that any different from what Pat Robertson - who has been guiding Bush and backed Rudy Guiliani and he says pretty much the same things although with a different standpoint as Wright said! Billy Graham was even worse when it came to being racists and a fundamentalist! In fact Wright, if taken in the correct perspective cannot be compared to these evangelist nuts! He is very fair in religious discussion for most part. His way of speaking is a little melodramatic and I guess its just a cultural thing for Black Churches vs White Churches. (Disclaimer: I have never ever attended any Church ever)
