India is not safe for Women

India is not safe for women!!! You may think that I gone mad or I am just giving hype to the title and trying to increase my traffic. Whatever it is, this is true.

Female foeticide, child marriage and trafficking are the major reasons behind this ranking. Home secretary Madhukar Gupta stated that...

How Teachers teach in Rural India?

 I recently saw a video in Facebook and as we do usually I too just clicked on it and watched it casually keeping myself relaxed on my chair. The video was titled , "How teachers teach in rural India-sad". At first I just thought the there will be a error with the mode of teaching, which means instead of explaining the concept the teacher might be just reading the book. This is what happening in most of the schools in rural India where the teacher himself/herself lack the essential knowledge to teach. They just take it as a profession to earn for their living. But when I saw the video I was shocked even more, the teacher even doesn't know the spelling of Sunday and she teaches it as "Sande". Who is the one who is supposed to be blamed? Even after 63 years of Independence we...

Baba Ramdev - Good or Bad !!!

 Popularity gained over night is something which I have seen in movies and read in books. Probably people who took sports and acting as a career can be given exception to the above said statement. But now we could able to see many such incidents happening all of a sudden all in the name of the so called 'Patriotism'. Are they really patriotic or just taking advantage of the trigger of a loaded gun. The one who is now in the headlines is the yoga guru Baba Ramdev. The one who is familiar only to particular group of people or in a particular region is now talk of the entire nation. Not only in the media, he is also topping the search...

DMK and AIADMK Election Manifesto 2011 – Will these freebies improve the quality of life in Tamil Nadu?

 The temperature in Tamil Nadu is increasing, not just because of the arrival of summer but also because of the upcoming state assembly elections. The heat is increasing drastically among the political parties as the polling day is not too far. The present heat felt is not only because of the short span of canvassing given to the parties, but also the optimum measures taken by the election commission to curb malpractices which are against the rules and regulations of the commission. With all these factors under consideration and futuristic plans to get the throne, both the ruling party (DMK) and opposition (AIADMK) have declared their election...

Please ! Intha Puthagatha Vaangathiinga ! - Gopinath

Title : ப்ளீஸ் ! இந்தப் புத்தகத்தை வாங்காதீங்க ! (Please Don't Buy this book!) Author : Gopinath Brief Description  This is one of the self-development or personality development books available in the store. This has nothing extra or special in context to tell about, but the way it is presented and easy language makes it attractive. You can see the same essence which you see in 'You Can Win' or those of Dale Carnegie's collections. If you are some one who is lazy to read hundreds of pages, then this is for you. Review  When asked about the negative title given to the book, the author have beautifully told that this book has nothing  new and what others have told before is being re framed with catchy ingredients. Yes, I would say that there is nothing...

Cash for Votes – Not Just For People Alone

 The assembly elections for three states Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Kerala are proposed to be conducted on April 13, 2011. The election commission is taking various measures to suppress cash and gifts in exchange of votes. It is also believed that sudden announcement of the election commission to finish the elections quickly may help to avoid the cash for vote to some extent. If this is the condition here, the present Wikileaks exposures have rocked the parliament. According to Wikileaks, the ruling Congress party has bribed MPs to vote in favor of them during the confidence vote in July 2008 for the Nuke deal to be cleared.
