STORY OF GAJRAJ

What comes to your head when you think of the largest animal of our planet? There is no predator strong enough to challenge this mighty animal. Even baby elephants weigh 120 kgs (260 lbs) at birth.One of the smartest animal on the planet, elephants are knows for their skills with which they use tools. Some elephants, when trained, can use a paintbrush and paint pictures better than art zeros like me. They are also one of the only animals on the planet to have mirror self recognition skills.Such an amazing animal but do you know how elephants die? To understand that, you need to understand how they eat their food. Did you know, 60% of all the food that an elephant eats lives its body undigested. An adult elephant can easily consume anywhere between 140 to 270 kgs (300-600 lbs) a day. Their diet consists of leaves, bamboo, twigs, tree branches, etc. To crush this food, elephants use molars (their set of teeth at the back of their mouth). Elephants, unlike other mammals, do not grow baby teeth which mature into permanent teeth. They have cycles of tooth rotation through out their life. Think of molar as a conveyor belt which crushes everything on the back of elephants tongue.The elephant molars wear down with use and the remains fall out. When an elephant becomes very old, the last set of teeth is worn to stumps, and it must rely on softer foods to chew. Very elderly elephants often spend their last years exclusively in marshy areas where they can feed on soft wet grasses. Eventually, when the last teeth fall out, the elephant is unable to eat and dies of starvation.I was shocked to learn this about elephants but thats how mother nature manages life on this planet. How else would an animal so huge (known to take down rhinos, known to have no natural predators) die? Another great lesson from mother nature which, like always, does not fail to impress.I clicked this picture with my Nikon point and shoot camera at the Singapore Zoo on my most recent visit. I am hoping to learn photography and eventually move on to a DSLR camera and have much more control on the photo's elements. Please feel free to leave a comment or tips if you have any.I love elephants. I hope we all can do our bit to save the elephants.

My Thoughts On A Exclusive Topic

The Indian state of Uttar Pradesh said that female students would be banned from wearing jeans and other Western clothes .
Means this is the only solution to stop crime against women and sexual harassment by male classmates?And now the new regulation for Girl who choose to wear jeans will be expelled from the college.
But i am not agree with them .Banning any clothing will certainly never solve the issue of crime against womans.
I Think it was yr 2002 or 03 whenThe all school was imposed a strict dress code for girl students to wear Eastern dresses such as shalwar- qameez or loose trousers. Dupatas was made mandatory.Once again a new "fatwass" for college girls.Let me state the facts first. Ironically, this ban of jeans and other ‘provocative dresses’ has been imposed in the ‘only girls colleges’ where boys stand at the gates and pass comments especially those girls who wear jeans and other ‘provocative dresses’.Of course, i will not think of shooing away the men, (after all it would cost them a good gatekeeper ) so get the girls a dress code!
Will these people understand that men who letch around are mentally sick and they are pervert by nature and their psyche is immune to the dress code of a girl?
This gentleman,(a professor or some educationist) who was on ‘Live India’ TV Channel supporting the ban and tried to argue with a student union member…….here it goes….


EDUCATIONIST : “Jeans are provocative in nature and distract men”

GIRL: “But the ban has been imposed on girls studying in only-girls colleges

EDUCATIONIST : “But men stand outside the gates”

GIRL: “Men are there all over the world; where all will you go about imposing bans?”

EDUCATIONIST : “Colleges are supposed to be a decent place and jeans are not!”

GIRL: “You cannot impose your thoughts on others, let the students and parents decide”
“This is illogical, there is no co-relation”
The anchor interrupted, “sir, all this cannot be said is today’s age anymore.”

EDUCATIONIST : “Well, we are concerned about the safety of the women, hence all these steps”

Then there followed a hell lot of debate with everyone accusing this man (I guess he is into active politics as well and a mother of a daughter asked him to concentrate on other policies that might benefit the nation.)
And out man decided to play the game once again.

EDUCATIONIST : “All I am saying is that these jeans are not hygienic also! And that is the main reason. They are tight and not good for the body. They might cause some serious problems.” (Let him submit a report on this.)
GIRL: Sir, you cannot talk in these terms because you are a public figure yourself and I have seen you in western clothes.

The phone line got disconnected! No prizes for guessing who banged it!!

Well, these unhygienic jeans will not harm the men, right? They can continue wearing jeans! Men shall not be asked to stop letching at women, they can continue doing so. i think what that "educationalist" has said is quite true ! ... girls wearing "jeans" surely is a distraction for boys !
ab dekho naa ... yeah zaalim jawaani ki kartoott ... kudiyaa to bahut "manmoohak" hoti hai jeans main ... to zaahir hai, ladke apne aapko samhaalye to kaise???
...then please it's request that do girls get distracted when they see boys wearing jeans ?? ... if yes ... then it should be banned for boys also !
As far as the girls are concerned, I am sure all of us have heard these silly arguments so many times that we really do not care. Then why did I care to write this crap?
But really i want to say

MY THOUGHTs..........On A breaking news

Bollywood actor Shiney Ahuja has been questioned in connection with a rape case. Ahuja's teenaged maid has filed a complaint alleging that the actor had raped her while they were alone at the actor's flat on Sunday.
It's really a breaking news for me......He's one of mine favorite on his acting.How can he do this?
Shiney Ahuja (born 15 May 1973) is an Indian actor, who won Filmfare Best Debut Award for Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi in 2006.
Ahuja was born in New Delhi. His father was in the Indian army and mother hails from Kerala.His early schooling was at St. Xavier's School, Ranchi, whereafter, he studied at The Army Public School, Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi. His initial plans were to join the armed forces. While studying at Hans Raj College University of Delhi from 1992-1996, he was attracted to Theater and joined the Barry Johns Acting School in Delhi. Sometime after 1996, he moved to Mumbai.Ahuja is married to Anupam Ahuja and has a daughter.
But what's wrong with this man........ohh i am sorry "What's wrong with his maid.she was born in MUmbai and only 18-19 years old.she have neither army nor well educated family background.
when i shaw guy's comment on Ahuja's current news i was totaly shocked yar the commnet was something like that"shahini aisa nhe kar sakte.ye os nokrani ke 100% koi chal hai.ek baat ye ke shahini ke liye kya koi ladkiyo ki kami thi jo ke vo os nokrani ka rape karega.vo nokrani shahini se paise hadap karna chahte hai.shahini lagta hai tumhare upar sani dev bhgwan ka prakoop ho gaya.juldi se sani dev ko khush karne ke liye koi prsad chdhao ".
Every pepole ca'nt understand a woman's feelings and her moral.
I do'nt know who is the lier Ahuja or his maid.Now this case have running in the court and media.
But i think so a rapist should get capital punishment for this gruesome crime, especially if he is a celebrities.

I Do'nt Think so.....

finally i had complited my graduation in B.Com (honrs.) with 1st class.
wednesday I woke up early and i know that today will be a brand new day for me.Firstly i would like to say "ThankS GOD" And a big thank-you goes to my parents who have been more than supportive and encouraging throughout this whole ordeal.

MY THOUGHTs ..........On Tantra Mantra

One night I had awaken from a terrible dream. After a few seconds from awakening, I opened my eyes and saw this white figure that looked to be a little girl. I had closed my eyes in fear and when I peeped them open once more, she was in a different position! I was too afraid that if I opened my eyes again that she would be right next to my bed! So I kept my eyes closed and went back to sleep. The next morning I told my sister and mother what had happened, even about the dream. They didn't believe me and said I was just seeing things and that from having that dream I was imagining the figure.
That night, I had again awaken but not from a dream... My body can feel things and when it feels there is a spirit around my body will wake me, I saw her again! I was terrified! I didn't know what to do so, once again, I closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't, not with the fear I was feeling. Once I heard my mom was awake, I told her I was seeing her again and she said "it's ok just try to go to sleep please". So I tried and it worked. But believe it or not, I kept seeing her! So the next night, after seeing her for three nights in a row, my mom and I prayed to that girl to leave me alone, and she did.
My mother said "Maybe God asked her to come to heaven...". I agreed, it made a lot of sense if you ask me! So that night I prayed to that girl to leave me alone and that I never wanted to encounter her again. Ever since then I haven't had any sign of her being here but I do know she is watching over me."LAST saturday my mother was forced me to go for temple 'PISAACH MOCHAN" AND a guru give me a black thread. Now my life has been better with out her encounters and I'm becoming happier and more safe. But I'm still afraid of spirits.

Ganga continues to face pollution

The condition of the Ganga is deteriorating by the day. There is more sand in it. Though it is declared a 'National River', no efforts are being made to clean it. If water is released from the dam, then only the water level will increase in the river.

Problems for the River Ganga are far from over. It remains immensely polluted. Filled with chemical wastes, sewage and even the remains of human and animal corpses, it poses major health risks to around 400 million people living by its side and all others who benefit from it.

"GANGA MAA"

The holiest of all the rivers, Ganga or the Ganges is a perennial river, which is held in high regard by the Hindus. The Ganga river has an exalted position in the Hindu ethos.
Ganga, the heavenly river was brought down to the earth through the efforts of the ruler BhagirathI.


The Ganga has an exalted position in the Hindu ethos. It is repeatedly invoked in the Vedas, the Puranas, and the two Indian epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.

Haridwar in the foothills of the Himalayas and experience the Aarti to the Ganges, when the entire riverside is lit up with the glow of hundreds of lamps.

The Indian system of beliefs is based on an intimate relationship with nature. An offshoot of this is the reverence accorded to rivers as a gesture of acknowledgement of their life sustaining abilities in primarily agrarian societies.

The Ganges River has always been known as a religious icon in the world. The River is known as a spiritual center because the people of India rely on the river for most life functions in the area.

The Ganges is the ultimate adventure point as far as river rafting in India is concerned. And the major rafting site from where any experienced rafter as well as an amateur one would love to start of his rafting trip in India is Rishikesh.

The uses in India for the river are nearly endless; the main functions of the river are Agricultural use, Industry, as an energy source, transportation, Drinking, bathing, and baptisms.

Along the river there are also many industries such as textiles, paper, leather, and many more who use the water for power, cleaning, etc. Power, which is used by industries, is also used by the common population.

Babies are baptized in the river because they believe it cleanses the child, also when a person dies and is cremated their remains are released into the river for the same reason, because they believe it cleanses the soul.

In Hinduism, the river Ganga is personified as Goddess and holds an important place in the Hindu religion. In Hindu mythology, it is believed that bathing in the river Ganga causes the remission of sins and facilitates the attainment of salvation or nirvana.

This deep-rooted truth is proved by the fact that people travel from distant places to immerse the ashes of their kin in the waters of the Ganga at Varanasi or other places located on the banks of this holy river.

The Ganga, especially, is the river of India, beloved of herpeople, round which are intertwined her memories, her hopesand fears, her songs of triumph, her victories and herdefeats. She has been a symbol of India's age-long cultureand civilization, ever changing, ever flowing, and yet everthe same Ganga.

The water of Ganga (called Gangajal) is stored in most Indian homes as "sacred water" and fed to those on death-bed as the "last meal" on earth.

Ganga is revered as daughter of Meru, as the mother of Bhishma, and Jahnavi (emerging from the thighs of sage Jahnu).

HAPPY LABOUR DAY ON MAY 1st....

Working and Living Conditions Of Woman Workers in India .....

Most women workers in factories in India are in their early to mid-twenties, and many are the first generation in their families to leave home and seek employment. Most have very little schooling, usually 10 years, with older workers having as little as 5 years of schooling. They are for the most part untrained and when they begin working in factories, often begin in the ‘Helper’ category and pick up skills on the job. Very few factories offer comprehensive training programs for new workers.

Women account for a small proportion of the formal Indian labor force, even though the number of female main workers has grown faster in recent years than that of their malecounterparts.The 1991 census shows that the number of male main workers increased 23 percent since the 1981 census while the number of female main workers increased 40 percent. However, women still accounted for only 23 percent (64.3 million) of the total.

With the shocking and huge number of cases that we read in the daily newspapers, we do not see any local citizens brought to justice for committing such abusive acts".Sadly, the plight of domestic workers has been ignored not only by the State, but also by civil societies in Bahrain and the Gulf; they have become invisible to society due to the social stigma attached to their status as low-income earning migrants.

ELECTIONs Vs POVERTY.......

THE elections to Assemblies are almost over. Reports and discussions in the media, including on the small screen, give the impression that no major issues of public concern have been covered by the political parties. It seems the anti-insurgency issues are prominent, but these are not the sort of issues that economists might consider important.

Caste factors were also highlighted in the discussions, and it was noted that every party sought to widen its base by fielding candidates from several castes. Minorities appear to be getting places in the lists of candidates of different parties. All this is okay, but should not political parties highlight what is happening to the economies of these States? Should they not lift the discussions to a higher level by projecting connected programmes and plans in these States for the next five years?

Let us now look at the rankings of poverty in 1999-2000. Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana were at the top. Gujarat had slipped down, and Uttar Pradesh continued to be in the lowest of rankings, at No. 12. Orissa, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Assam ranked lower, in that order.

What do the rankings convey? Clearly, Bihar, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, UP and, now, Assam are problem States from the point of view of high poverty levels. Uttar Pradesh's ranking has been moving down, if we take 1977-78 as the reference point. Between 1993-94 and 1999-2000, Uttar Pradesh had a low ranking.

Should not this point, which is so important for economic well-being, have been highlighted by the media and political parties?
After all, poverty alleviation is a responsibility of the State governments, given the pressures they can exercise on the Union Government. After all, there is no reason to believe that the Centre is biased in the matter of measures, direct and indirect, to reduce the pressure of poverty in the different States.

What is most distressing is that none of the political parties seem concerned about the deteriorating performance in UP with respect to poverty alleviation. What is power meant for? Should not the level of discussion among different parties be lifted to a higher level to encompass issues such as the State governments improving the lot of those below of the poverty line? What are the National Sample Survey results meant for?

There is some consistency between the relative worsening of UP's ranking in alleviating poverty and the sliding agricultural output and growth rate.

Also, UP's efforts in containing the rate of growth of population has not been satisfactory. It continues to have one of the highest population growth rates in India.
Clearly, per-capita-wise, UP's economy is not improving. The media, including the small screen, has a great responsibility in educating those in political power and forcing political leaders to focus on what really matters to the common man.
