The World After Osama

Will the world be safer with Bin Laden dead? The answer, in my view, is yes - over the long-term. Al Queda will be less powerful without its leader. To the degree that its power is minimized, the world will be safer, which is good for stocks.

In the short-term, however, there is a risk that his followers could try to avenge his killing. Any attempted retaliation could send stocks down and push up the price of precious metals. There has also been debate among analysts on whether Osama’s death would have any economic impact on the world’s economy.

Amidst celebrations  announcement of Osama bin Laden’s death, the Dow Jones industrial average, the Standard & Poor’s 500 and the Nasdaq composite rose by 0.3, 0.2 and 0.2 percent respectively. The US dollar also strengthened briefly on May 1st before declining later on Monday.Globally, most major stock markets reacted positively to the news of Osama’s death. Meanwhile both oil and gold prices fell slightly in the immediate aftermath of announcement.This seems like a gut reaction to what the West views as a happy event. A lot of times we see markets move on happy news that in reality has nothing to do with the market, and I think this is one of them,”

In Indian prospect the hawala market and the so called  money financed by the underworld in real estate and films will be recalled that could bring a low to the market as well as otherwise booming property market in India but it could be a short term phenomenon.India should and will try to mount pressure for Dawood and Company .India should also try to strengthen relations with US .Pakistan is most likely to become a US base now .And ofcourse the terror threat cant be ruled out.

As we look at the political instability in the Middle East, we struck by the fact that Al Qaeda appears to be a nonfactor. we did not see pictures of Osama or placards for Al Qaeda in the coverage of Egypt, Lybia ,Seriya ,Egypt  or even Iraq. Osama may have been the Devil, but he has not been a key driver in the political revolutions in the Arab world.

Still, it is worth watching how this evolves, especially in his home country of Saudi Arabia. If Al Qaeda becomes more active, this could be a negative for oil prices and the stock market. But right now, there is no way to handicap whether this will occur. The fact that he’s gone doesn’t significantly change the geopolitical situation,” Roubini said. “I think the death of bin Laden doesn’t significantly change that.”

Missing Dorjee

The politicians should take a lesson ,that they should drop the habit of grabbing the poor men's money as money and wealth is not everything .It is the good deeds and welfare measures which count on the dooms day.
"The only CM  ranks with more than Rs 10 crore is the 56-year-old Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, Dorjee Khandu. The Congress leader, his declared wealth added up to almost Rs 23 crore in 2009. Khandu owns a little fleet of cars—three Scorpios and three Santros—and can count on Rs 46 lakh in cash for a rainy day".says a website on account of wealth.BUT of no use on a stormy rainy day when he went lost three days back with his chopper !

The Indian Air Force yesterday said the “weather” and not the wealth could have been a factor behind the missing Pawan Hans helicopter carrying Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Dorjee Khandu and four others. It added that “an aircraft-like something” has been detected in an area in Bhutan.

Expressing concern over the missing chopper, Eastern Air Command Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Air Marshal K.K. Nohwar, said: “Sukhoi 30s with recee pods and ISRO have managed to pick up something which has been given for assessment. The data (from Sukhoi and ISRO) is being corroborated with the ground situation.”

“Our helicopters have made attempts to go to certain areas in Bhutan. Whenever the weather permits, the helicopters which are kept on standby at Tawang, Tezpur and Guwahati would be pressed into service,” Air Marshal Nohwar said.

So the wealth didn't helped even .

The US took 11years to trace osama and god know how many days will Indian army need to find out missing Dorjee !

From wikileaks to AIEEE paperleaks

Yesterday while surfing I came across a page on facebook which said Welcome to a Facebook Page about I wish Wikileaks would leak our Exam paper. ...


leaking has become a trend these days ....the wikileaks set a trend by exposing the classified papers to public and sensationalize the news market for its own TRP and the poor people loved to know how they were deceived by there leaders they made a lot .


yesterday the Kanpur based coaching center  managed to get hand on the aieee entrance test paper .Everyone is aware that today we have a whole lot of coaching centers and each one is dying hard to excel by giving the best result .In this race of becoming the leader people who leaked the paper put the future of 12 lakh students on stake !


one student in udaipur was just 5 mins late yesterday for AIEEE and thus she was denied to enter the exam center .
The atmosphere in country today is in a critical, tense situation because everyone wants shortcut by TIKDAM and JUGAAD but where will they take us have anyone tried to find out ?
The students who are willing to pay in terms of money  for there success should think that where will they lead this country into ?



Now the bottom line here is  THINK AND ACT SENSIBLY .

Cancer has been the number two cause of death since 1938,[17] But, at the turn of the 20th century, it was only #8.[17] Cancer is definitely considered the number one Disease of Civilization. There are more than 150 different kinds of cancer and many different causes. Top 5 Cancers (Incidence) in USA [16] MEN WOMEN Prostate (40%) Lung (18%) Colorectal (12%) Urinary Bladder (08%) Skin (05%) Breast (40%) Lung (17%) Colorectal (12%) Uterus (08%) Thyroid (05%)

Problems Persist

Good morning,the magical word everyone says atleast from the day he/she starts going to school and make it a habit .But do we know how many in India get the previlage to go to school .The number of children attending school has gone up many-fold since the time of India’s Independence – increasing from around 19.2 million in 1950-51 to 113.8 million in 2000-01.Although poverty is often cited as the cause underlying child labour, other factors such as discrimination, social exclusion, as well as the lack of quality education or existing parents’ attitudes and perceptions about child labour and the role and value of education need also to be considered. In states like Bihar, Mizoram, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, 60 per cent or more girls dropped out before completing their five years primary education.Trafficking of children also continues to be a serious problem in India. The nature and scope of trafficking range from industrial and domestic labour, to forced early marriages and commercial sexual exploitation. Existing studies show that over 40 per cent of women sex workers enter into prostitution before the age of 18 years.  But several problems persist.

Several million more suffer from multiple episodes of diarrhoea and still others fall ill on account of Hepatitis A, enteric fever, intestinal worms and eye and skin infections caused by poor hygiene and unsafe drinking water.

Despite the Government and UNICEF’s best efforts, diarrhoea remains the major cause of death amongst children, after respiratory- tract infections. Unhygienic practices and unsafe drinking water are some of its main causes. More than 122 million households in the country are without toilets. Even though toilets are built in about 3 million households every year, the annual rate of increase has been a low 1 per cent in the past decade.

Among the many contributing factors is the quality of the physical space that children inhabit.

Of India’s 700,000 rural schools, only one in six have toilets deterring children especially girls from going to school, and if enrolled, in remaining there.In addition are cultural factors: continuing discrimination against the girl child plays a crucial role in creating resistance around sending girls to school. Government efforts have been intensified in recent years following the launch of various programmes including the District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) in 1992, the Minimum Levels of Learning (MLL) initiative and more recently the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (or the National Programme for Universal Elementary Education). 

 
UNICEF is an active partner in the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan supporting its objective to ensure all children complete five years of school and have access to good quality education.

Road Accidents

In India, according to the World Bank reports, about 1 Lakh people were killed in road accidents in the year 2007 and among these about forty youngsters died every day. The toll is not just on life but also on the country's economy. The World Bank report estimates that road accidents cost India about 3% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP).Road accidents place a tremendous expense on health care services, costs of providing rehabilitation, value of lost household services, lost earnings of victims, and lost income of survivors in the respective families. These costs directly impact the country's economy by burdening the financial resources of the country.Road fatalities are considered a serious public health issue and are gradually overtaking deadly diseases like tuberculosis and AIDS. Due to the widespread impact, the issue of road accidents has been termed a global epidemic.

Safety beings at home.Right from the birth ,human beings develop a sence of safety to protect themselves from the environment.Safety is not only necessary for the individual but also for the socity on the whole.The population now has grown up to an alarming level.Earlier,when there was no much pressure on the land,man was free to movefrom place to place at his will.
The main cause of the car accidents are drivers distractions,drunken drivers,driver fatigue,using cellular phones while driving,speeding,aggressive driving,mechanical failure,road conditions and weather.Usually the most affected in car accident is driver,but the passengers and the pedestrians are also affected by it.Road accidents are the biggest cause of death among 15 to 24 year olds.The past couple of months alone have seen several horrific fatal crashes .
Seat belts ,speed limits ,sensible driving,tool roads,proper zebra crossings,correct lane driving anything that makes drivers safer will benefit everyone on the road.

Kamal कमल (Nelumbo nucifera) -- Lotus

The (red) lotus has pride of place in Indian literature. The national floweris another universal favourite of the Gods, and its beauty is often used in in similes for the beauty of heros/heroines: "face as beautiful as a blooming lotus" or "eyes shaped like lotus petals". A woman's beauty may be compared to that of a pond full of blooming lotuses (Nalinī, padminī) or her slender frame to that of a lotus stem. A famous couplet ascribed to Kalidasa describes a woman's face as a miracle of flower blooming within a flower: her beautiful eyes are like dark blue lotuses blooming in the pink lotus of her face!
The goddess Lakshmi sits on a red Lotus, and Sarasvati, on a white one. The Lotus is associated with Lord Brahma, who was created sitting on a lotus arising from the navel of Lord Vishnu. The lotus has esoteric and sacred significance in spirituality. The Mother Goddess (Devi) is called Kamalāmba or "Lotus Mother": she resides in a thousand-petalled lotus said to be located in the Sahasrāra Chakra in the head. Raising the serpent power kundalini to this place leads to Realization, which is the aim of the practitioners of "Sri Vidya Upasana". Lotus symbols are central in yantra patterns, and form part of many designs of decoration in more secular contexts. The lotus blooms at day and closes at night: so the sun is referred to as the "Friend of the Lotus".
