Mahatma Gandhi – A real hero for India

The last day of Gandhiji’s life. Gandhiji handed over the LSS draft to Pyarelal Nayyar to go through as he had written under tension and maybe there were some mistakes.
Gandhiji weighed 109 pounds. He had gained two pounds since he finished his last fast 12 days ago but was still suffering from a terrible cough.

Gandhiji began his Bangla lesson. During his Noakhali visit in 1946, he had started learning Bangla. Meanwhile, the killers were giving final shape to their conspiracy to assassinate the Mahatma. Nathuram Godse came up with a idea to go to the prayer ground wearing a black shawl and with an old-styled camera so that he could shoot Gandhiji while pretending to take a picture. They went down on the street to search for a camera but then they came to a conclusion that the plan was bad as hardly anyone used the old-styled cameras any longer.
Then they come up with the idea of buying a burqa and that Godse would pretend to be burqa-clad Muslim woman and thus could get in for a close shot. They bought the burqa but Nathuram found it very uneasy when he wore it. He thought firing from under might lead him to miss the target. So even this idea was dropped.
Finally Narayan Apte came with a simple but deadly plan. They decided that Nathuram should wear a loose and long shirt so that he can hide his pistol in the pocket of his trousers and so went to the market and purchased it.

At Birla House, Gandhiji was meeting many visitors. But the most important meeting was yet to take place. A meeting which would save a split in Congress and which would bridge the differences between his two disciples Nehru and Patel. Gandhiji had convinced Vallabhai Patel to withhold his resignation and that three of them (Gandhiji, Home Minister Vallabhai Patel and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru) would sit down together and thrash out the differences.

While Gandhiji was talking to Vallabhai Patel to avoid the split, Abha, came with his evening meal of goat’s milk, boiled vegetable and orange juice. After his meal, he sat on his spinning wheel, still talking to Patel. Nearby, the killers were wandering in the gardens beyond the room where Gandhiji turned his wheel.

Gandhiji was late for his prayer. Abha and Manu were scared to interfere in their conversation but finally Manu gestured at his watch. Gandhiji glanced at his old watch and said to Patel, “It’s time for me to go God’s meeting”. With Abha and Manu, his two great grand-nieces and walking sticks, Gandhiji went towards the prayer ground. Gandhiji was upset for the delay and said to them, “You are my watches, why should I consult a watch? I do not like this delay at all. I cannot tolerate even one minute’s delay for prayers.”

Godse was nervous but determined to accomplish his task. Manu saw an advancing stout young man in a khaki dress. Godse took the pistol from his pocket and bowed to touch Gandhiji’s feet. Manu thought he wanted to touch Gandhiji’s feet, and so she gently came in the way and murmured, “Brother, Bapu is already ten minutes late”. At that instant, Godse pushed Manu aside and before she could recover, he pulled the trigger three times. All the three bullets passed through the slender body of Gandhiji. The idol of non-violence could only gasp, “He Ram!” before slumping on the ground. It was 5.17 pm January 30, 1948.

An All India radio broadcast simply said: “Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated in New Delhi at twenty past five this afternoon. His assassin was a Hindu.” The last sentence was included on order from Lord Mountbatten. With this, the slaughter had been avoided and it now remained to India to mourn.

Gandhiji had fought a lifelong battle for a free and united India; and yet, when the country was divided, he urged that the two parts respect and befriend one another. Other Indians were less forgiving. The assassin, who surrendered afterwards, was a Brahmin from Pune named Nathuram Godse, the editor of an extremist Hindu newspaper who had denounced Gandhiji as “an appeaser of Muslims”. Gandhiji’s death led to an extraordinary outpouring of grief, with rich tributes being paid to him from across the political spectrum in India, and moving appreciations coming from such international figures as George Orwell and Albert Einstein

The ashes of Mahatma Gandhi were split in portions and sent to all states of India to be scattered in rivers. Part of Gandhi’s ashes rest in Raj Ghat, near Delhi, India. Part of Mahatma Gandhi’s ashes are at the Lake Shrine in Los Angeles.

The nation remembers and pays its respectful homage to Gandhiji on his 64th death anniversary today, 30th January 2012. Gandhiji was shot dead by a Hindu fanatic on this day in 1948, almost 6 months after India won Independence under his leadership. At 1100 hours today, the entire nation pays homage by standing still and observing silence.

Timing of the year : January end/February

Popular as :Vasant Panchami

The Festival
Sarawati puja or Vasant Panchami, the festival of goddess of learning, is celebrated by Students, artists and professors. This ‘Panchami’ is also known as Saraswati Day, because it is believed that on this day, goddess Saraswati was born.
Time of the year
The puja of Ma Saraswati is held at a time when the winter comes to an end and spring begins. It is the time of the beginning of ‘Basanta Kaal’. In this time of the year, the weather remains fantastic. The weather is neither too cold, nor it is too hot. In other words, it remains pleasant. There is no need to put on a sweater, in our midst amidst this pleasant weather. So performing the puja creates no problems at all.

The mythological History
In the Vedas, Saraswati was a water deity and was revered for purifying, fertilizing and enriching powers. The next stage in Saraswati’s mythological history was her identification with the holy rituals performed on the banks of river Saraswati. She is said to have invented Sanskrit, the language of the Brahmins, of scriptures and scholarship. It is also believed that it was her who discovered soma or amrita in the Himalayas and brought it to the other gods. Later myths diminished the powers of Saraswati. She was said to be identical with Viraj, the female half or being created out of the substance of Purusha or Prajapati and thus the instrument of creation. As Brahma’s wife, she provides the power to execute what Brahma has conceived with his creative intelligence. She is the goddess of all the creative arts and in particular of poetry and music, learning and science.

Goddess Saraswati represents the union of power and intelligence from which organized creation arises. Saraswati possesses all the learning of the Vedas, scriptures, dancing, music and poetry. She is wisdom, fortune, intelligence, nourishment, brilliance, contentment, splendor and devotion. She is depicted as a gracefully seated or standing goddess, holding a veena, a musical instrument, a rosary and the scripture. The ‘bahon’ are the ‘rajhansa’ (swan) and the ‘mayur’ (peacock). The instrument symbolizes knowledge of the arts held in high esteem in Vedic tradition. The rosary points to the meditative qualities necessary to acquire knowledge. The scripture is knowledge in itself. The swan signifies discrimination between right and wrong, while the peacock points to the mundane, the unstable.

Celebration of Saraswati Puja
Saraswati Puja is also known as Boi Puja ( a worship of books). The puja starts early in the morning with aarti. The chanting of various monsters begins after the ‘aaroti’. Ma Saraswati is the goddess of learning, so those associated with the performance footsteps of Ma Saraswati in order to receive her special blessings. It is particularly popular among the students community. Basically students fear studies most. The puja is celebrated in all schools and colleges.

Families dressed in bright yellow gather together before the idol of Saraswati and pray for the blessing of knowledge. Flowers and wild berries are offered to the goddess and students place their books before the deity and do not do any reading or writing that day. An elaborate puja, with sandalwood, ghee, joss sticks, and incense is done to the sound of shlokas, conch shells, and drums. On this day, people eat vegetarian food and initiate children into the world of the written word. Traditionally, priests make children write the word ‘Om’.

All the young people gather in the pandal to celebrate the festival. Puja is performed by pujari or pandit, after puja, prasad is distributed among all the people present. Saraswati puja is also the day of eating plums.

Regional Celebrations
Saraswati Puja is celebrated in all over the country. Across the country, educational institutions celebrate the festival with great enthusiasm.

*from the sources

Subhas Chandra Bose was born on January 23, 1897 in Cuttack, Orissa. His father Janaki Nath Bose was a famous lawyer and his mother Prabhavati Devi was a pious and religious lady. Subhas Chandra Bose was the ninth child among fourteen siblings.

Netaji Independence Movement: He was popularly known as Netaji and was a legend in the Indian Independence movement. Bose was elected president of the Indian National Congress for two consecutive terms in 1938 and 1939, but had to resign from the post following ideological conflicts with Mahatma Gandhi and after openly attacking the Congress’ foreign and internal policies. Bose believed that Mahatma Gandhi’s tactics of non-violence would never be sufficient to secure India’s independence, and advocated violent resistance. He established a separate political party, the All India Forward Bloc and continued to call for the full and immediate independence of India from British rule. He was imprisoned by the British authorities eleven times. His famous motto was “Give me blood and I will give you freedom”.

Netaji INA: In Singapore he took over the reins of the Indian Independence Movement and organised the Azad Hind Fauj (Indian National Army) comprising mainly of Indian prisoners of war. Azad Hind Fauj proceeded towards India to liberate it from British rule. Enroute it lliberated Andeman and Nicobar Islands. The I.N.A. Head quarters was shifted to Rangoon in January 1944. Azad Hind Fauj crossed the Burma Border, and stood on Indian soil on March 18 ,1944. He is presumed to have died on 18 August 1945 in a plane crash over Taiwan. However, contradictory evidence exists regarding his death in the accident.

Self Confidence by some Simple Rules

Self confidence gives us the freedom to commit mistakes and cope with failure without making us feel worthless. If only we have confidence in ourselves, can we gain confidence of others? After all, most people are reluctant to back a project that’s being pitched by someone who is nervous, fumbling and overly apologetic. On the other hand, you might be persuaded by someone who spoke clearly, who held his or her head high, who answered questions assuredly, and who readily admitted when he/she did not know something.

So where do you rate yourself on the scale of 1-10 for your confidence level? Do you think you fall in the low confidence bracket? Here is some good news for you. And the good news is that self-confidence can be learned and built on.

Let’s start the process of building self-confidence. Remember there is no quick fix solution for it. Nonetheless, practice makes a man perfect. So all you have to do is try and implement the following given tips in your day to day life.

Recognize your insecurities: We all have insecurities in life. It can be anything from acne, to regrets, to friends at school. Giving a name to the things which make you feel unworthy, ashamed or inferior helps to combat them. You can try to pen down your thoughts and you will find that it makes you feel much lighter and happier. Remember that no one is perfect. The man or woman sitting next to you might have the same amount of insecurities as you have. If writing doesn’t come easily to you, you might want to talk it out with your friends or loved ones. Sharing your thoughts will help relieve the burden you have been carrying all alone.

Identify your successes: No matter how insecure you might feel, God has blessed each one of us with some talent. Discover the things you are good at and then focus on improving them. Give yourself permission to take pride in your talents. Give yourself credit for your successes. Inferiority is a state of mind in which you’ve declared yourself a victim. Do not allow yourself to be victimized.

Be thankful for what you have: A lot of the times, at the root of insecurity and lack of confidence is a feeling of not having enough of something, whether its emotional validation, good luck, money, etc. By acknowledging and appreciating what you do have, you can combat the feeling of being incomplete and unsatisfied. Finding that inner peace will do wonders for your confidence.

Be positive: Avoid self-pity or sympathy of others. Never allow others to make you feel inferior they can only do so if you let them. If you continue to loathe and belittle yourself, others are going to do and believe likewise. Instead, speak positively about yourself, about your future, and about your progress. Do not be afraid to project your strengths and qualities to others.

Dress sharp: Although clothes don’t make the man, they certainly affect the way he feels about himself. When you don’t look good, you don’t feel good. It changes the way you carry yourself and interact with people. This doesn’t mean you need to spend a lot on clothes. Rather than buying a bunch of cheap clothes, buy half as many select, high quality items. In long run this decreases spending because expensive clothes wear out less easily and stay in style longer than cheap clothes.

Walk faster: Your gait tells a lot about your personality. Is it slow? Tired? Painful? Or is it energetic and purposeful? People with confidence walk quickly. They have places to go, people to see, and important work to do. You can increase yourself confidence by putting some pep in your step. Walking 25% faster will make to you look and feel more important.

Compliment other people: When we think negatively about ourselves, we often project that feeling on to others in the form of insults and gossip. Refuse to engage in backstabbing gossip and make an effort to compliment those around you. In the process, youll become well liked and build self confidence. By looking for the best in others, you indirectly bring out the best in yourself.

Take the front seat: Back benchers might seem to have a lot of fun in schools and colleges but that does nothing to boost their self confidence. Don’t be afraid to get noticed. By deciding to sit in the front row, you can get over your irrational fear of getting noticed and build your self confidence.

Speak up: Its a general observation that many people are afraid to speak or ask questions in a group discussion or a public gathering. They are afraid that they might be judged for saying something stupid. Generally, people are much more accepting than we imagine. In fact most people are dealing with the exact same fears. By making an effort to speak up at least once in every group discussion, you’ll become a better public speaker, more confident in your own thoughts, and recognized as a leader by your peers.

Work out: A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. If you are fit, you are surrounded by positivity and energy. If you are out of shape you feel unattractive. This leads to demoralization. Just a little discipline in your life can help shape up your self confidence in a big way.

Smile: Last but not the least; try to smile as much as possible. People are always appreciative of a smiling face. You will be welcomed by anyone who comes in your contact. A smiling face is always received with warmth and affection. Acceptance and recognition from others helps in building self confidence.

Swami Vivekananda’s inspiring personality was well known both in India and in America during the last decade of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth. The unknown monk of India suddenly leapt into fame at the Parliament of Religions held in Chicago in 1893, at which he represented Hinduism. His vast knowledge of Eastern and Western culture as well as his deep spiritual insight, fervid eloquence, brilliant conversation, broad human sympathy, colourful personality, and handsome figure made an irresistible appeal to the many types of Americans who came in contact with him. People who saw or heard Vivekananda even once still cherish his memory after a lapse of more than half a century.
In America Vivekananda’s mission was the interpretation of India’s spiritual culture, especially in its Vedantic setting. He also tried to enrich the religious consciousness of the Americans through the rational and humanistic teachings of the Vedanta philosophy. In America he became India’s spiritual ambassador and pleaded eloquently for better understanding between India and the New World in order to create a healthy synthesis of East and West, of religion and science.

In his own motherland Vivekananda is regarded as the patriot saint of modern India and an inspirer of her dormant national consciousness. To the Hindus he preached the ideal of a strength-giving and man-making religion. Service to man as the visible manifestation of the Godhead was the special form of worship he advocated for the Indians, devoted as they were to the rituals and myths of their ancient faith. Many political leaders of India have publicly acknowledged their indebtedness to Swami Vivekananda.

The Swami’s mission was both national and international. A lover of mankind, he strove to promote peace and human brotherhood on the spiritual foundation of the Vedantic Oneness of existence. A mystic of the highest order, Vivekananda had a direct and intuitive experience of Reality. He derived his ideas from that unfailing source of wisdom and often presented them in the soul-stirring language of poetry.

The natural tendency of Vivekananda’s mind, like that of his Master, Ramakrishna, was to soar above the world and forget itself in contemplation of the Absolute. But another part of his personality bled at the sight of human suffering in East and West alike. It might appear that his mind seldom found a point of rest in its oscillation between contemplation of God and service to man. Be that as it may, he chose, in obedience to a higher call, service to man as his mission on earth; and this choice has endeared him to people in the West, Americans in particular.

In the course of a short life of thirty-nine years (1863-1902), of which only ten were devoted to public activities — and those, too, in the midst of acute physical suffering — he left for posterity his four classics: Jnana-Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga, Karma-Yoga, and Raja-Yoga, all of which are outstanding treatises on Hindu philosophy. In addition, he delivered innumerable lectures, wrote inspired letters in his own hand to his many friends and disciples, composed numerous poems, and acted as spiritual guide to the many seekers who came to him for instruction. He also organized the Ramakrishna Order of monks, which is the most outstanding religious organization of modern India. It is devoted to the propagation of the Hindu spiritual culture not only in the Swami’s native land, but also in America and in other parts of the world.

Swami Vivekananda once spoke of himself as a ‘condensed India.’ His life and teachings are of inestimable value to the West for an understanding of the mind of Asia. William James, the Harvard philosopher, called the Swami the ‘paragon of Vedantists.’ Max Müller and Paul Deussen, the famous Orientalists of the nineteenth century, held him in genuine respect and affection. ‘His words,’ writes Romain Rolland, ‘are great music, phrases in the style of Beethoven, stirring rhythms like the march of Handel choruses. I cannot touch these sayings of his, scattered as they are through the pages of books, at thirty years’ distance, without receiving a thrill through my body like an electric shock. And what shocks, what transports, must have been produced when in burning words they issued from the lips of the hero!’

Resume is a French word, meaning “summary” and signifies a brief account of one’s education, employment & other skills, used in applying for a new position. But, if you are a fresher,then the bottom line is: To look good on paper.

Freshers Resume Writing:

Top 10 Tips for Fresher Graduates

Going by the saying “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”, let’s decode some of the tips & tricks to construct an eye-grabbing resume.

1.    Own the Format:
•    There is no one correct resume format. A resume is essentially a way to showcase your profile in your very own personal style. Highlight what You think makes a more impressive statement.

2.    Include the Basics:
•    Objective – in about 2-3 lines to highlight your focus in life, amalgamated with your skills & job requirement, in order to attract the employer.
•    Contact Info – Relevant, Current & Correct.
•    Education – Mention both, the degrees as well as the credentials, in a complete fashion. Also, specify any certifications undergone for that extra edge.
•    Experience – This includes both, the job responsibilities held so far and the crux of projects undertaken during training (for fresher).
•    Skill-Set – List all the technologies you have worked in & other buzz words that describe your potential best.

3.    Entice with Specifics:
•    If you are multi-talented or are seeking jobs in different sectors, then you must modify your resume suiting the needs of that particular job.
•    Highlight your expertise and strength in that field to appear the most deserving of that spot. In such cases, you can neglect other irrelevant details, which otherwise may be vital.

4.   Important Pointer:
•    One interesting & efficacious thing to mention in your resume is the Volunteer Professional activities. These not only demonstrate your leadership, commitment & hardworking abilities but, also diversify your interest & skill set.
•    Now, one thing you can easily omit from your resume is References. Include them, only if asked.

5.    Advertise Yourself:
•    Don’t sell yourself short. You must have read it at multiple instances. But, it surely is an aspect worth noting. Be concise. Flaunt all your valuable assets, even if they don’t seem to fit, mention anyways. Your resume is like an advertisement, sell yourself well.

6.    Reverse It:
•    You must always list your qualifications & experiences or anything that has a chronology, in a reverse order. Last – first meaning, in order of relevance, from most to least and current to previous.

7.   White Spaces:
•    Being a fresher is an advantage in resume-writing. Due to ample paper space, try to highlight your key skills by surrounding them with White Spaces. This helps in easy scan & non-cram presentation of your resume.

8.    Formatting Counts:
•    Use of appropriate fonts (Times New Roman, Arial etc.), margins (1.5 inches preferably) & indentation is a key to a presentable resume. Don’t make a fancy sheet overloaded with creativity.
•    Also, always make a .doc (Word Document) with a size within 100Kb or maximum 2 pages with, a decent file name.

9.    Fresh-eye proofreading:
•    Apart from essential spell-check, grammatical anomalies & punctuations make sure to get your resume proofread by people attentive to details and do consider their objective critiques.

10.   Viewability:
•    Especially for fresher, an important aspect is to target the recruiters best-suited. To market your resume & make it viewable, use right sources & right networking.

Apart from these above mentioned thumb rules, you can always refer some pre-designed resumes for help. But, always try to own it!

Some Promise which have to be been done in this year

New Year’s Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It’s a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. Did your New Year resolutions make our top ten lists?

1. Spend More Time with Family & Friends

Recent polls conducted by General Nutrition Centers, Quicken, and others shows that more than 50% of Americans vow to appreciate loved ones and spend more time with family and friends this year. Make plans to meet up with friends for an evening of camaraderie at a favorite Pittsburgh restaurant or take the family to one of these popular Pittsburgh places for family fun. Work shouldn’t always come first!

2. Fit in Fitness

The evidence is in for fitness. Regular exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything else known to man. Studies show that it reduces the risk of some cancers, increases longevity, helps achieve and maintain weight loss, enhances mood, lowers blood pressure, and even improves arthritis. In short, exercise keeps you healthy and makes you look and feel better. Why not make this the time to start getting in shape for one of these popular Pittsburgh Area Charity Walks, Runs or Rides?

3. Tame the Bulge

Over 66 percent of adult Americans are considered overweight or obese by recent studies, so it is not surprising to find that weight loss is one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions. Setting reasonable goals and staying focused are the two most important factors in sticking with a weight loss program, and the key to success for those millions of Americans who made a New Year’s commitment to shed extra pounds.

4. Quit Smoking

If you have resolved to make this the year that you stamp out your smoking habit, over-the-counter availability of nicotine replacement therapy now provides easier access to proven quit-smoking aids. Even if you’ve tried to quit before and failed, don’t let it get you down. On average, smokers try about four times before they quit for good. Start enjoying the rest of your smoke-free life! Even Allegheny County is trying to go smoke-free, and it’s taken them a few tries as well. Locally, there are a variety of free support services, hotlines and smoking cessation classes to help you kick the smoking habit.

5. Enjoy Life More

Given the hectic, stressful lifestyles of millions of Americans, it is no wonder that “enjoying life more” has become a popular resolution in recent years. It’s an important step to a happier and healthier you! Consider one of Pittsburgh’s holistic healing centers for products designed to bring balance to your body, mind and soul. Or just get out and try something new! Take up a new hobby or try your hand at skiing. Go to a theater performance, or head to the local spa. Pittsburgh offers a wealth of artistic and recreational activities to meet just about anyone’s wishes.

6. Quit Drinking

While many people use the New Year as an incentive to finally stop drinking, most are not equipped to make such a drastic lifestyle change all at once. Many heavy drinkers fail to quit cold turkey but do much better when they taper gradually, or even learn to moderate their drinking. If you have decided that you want to stop drinking, there is a world of help and support available. Pittsburgh Alcoholics Anonymous offers meetings throughout the greater Pittsburgh area. There is also a Pittsburgh group for Parents of Teenage Alcohol and Drug Abusers. There are also a number of treatment-based programs, as well as support groups for families of alcoholics.

7. Get Out of Debt

Was money a big source of stress in your life last year? Join the millions of Americans who have resolved to spend this year getting a handle on their finances. It’s a promise that will repay itself many times over in the year ahead.

8. Learn Something New

Have you vowed to make this year the year to learn something new? Perhaps you are considering a career change, want to learn a new language, or just how to fix your computer? Whether you take a course or read a book, you’ll find education to be one of the easiest, most motivating New Year’s resolutions to keep. The Community College of Allegheny County offers a wide variety of “lifelong learning” courses, and local YMCA’s offer great recreational training for beginners of all ages. Most local colleges and universities offer distance and adult education programs. Or if the arts are more your thing, places such as the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts offer adult studio classes

9. Help Others

A popular, non-selfish New Year’s resolution, volunteerism can take many forms. Whether you choose to spend time helping out at your local library, mentoring a child, or building a house, there are many nonprofit volunteer organizations that could really use your help. The Pittsburgh Cares organization makes it easy by connecting volunteers with projects to fit practically any schedule. Or if your time is really in short supply, maybe you can at least find it in you to donate the furniture, clothing and other household items that you no longer need, rather than leaving them out by the curb to fill up our landfills.

10. Get Organized

On just about every New Year resolution top ten list, organization can be a very reasonable goal. Whether you want you’re home organized enough that you can invite someone over on a whim, or your office organized enough that you can find the stapler when you need it, these tips and resources should get you started on the way to a more organized life. Pittsburgh has quite a few professional organizers who can help you reduce the clutter in your life and find peace in your home. Professional Pittsburgh organizer Patty Creamer even offers a six-month But I Might Need it Someday! Recourse.

*See how Lokpal Bill can curb the politicians (Circulate it to create awareness)

Existing System

1.No politician or senior officer ever goes to jail despite huge evidence because Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) and CBI directly come under the government. Before starting investigation or initiating prosecution in any case, they have to take permission from the same bosses, against whom the case has to be investigated.
2. No corrupt officer is dismissed from the job because Central Vigilance Commission, which is supposed to dismiss corrupt officers, is only an advisory body. Whenever it advises government to dismiss any senior corrupt officer, its advice is never implemented.
3. No action is taken against corrupt judges because permission is required from the Chief Justice of India to even register an FIR against corrupt judges.
4. Nowhere to go – People expose corruption but no action is taken on their complaints.
5. There is so much corruption within CBI and vigilance departments. Their functioning is so secret that it encourages corruption within these agencies.
6. Weak and corrupt people are appointed as heads of anti-corruption agencies.
7. Citizens face harassment in government offices. Sometimes they are forced to pay bribes. One can only complaint to senior officers. No action is taken on complaints because senior officers also get their cut.
8. Nothing in law to recover ill gotten wealth. A corrupt person can come out of jail and enjoy that money.
9. Small punishment for corruption- Punishment for corruption is minimum 6 months and maximum 7 years.

System Proposed by civil society

1.Lokpal at centre and Lokayukta at state level will be independent bodies. ACB and CBI will be merged into these bodies. They will have power to initiate investigations and prosecution against any officer or politician without needing anyone’s permission. Investigation should be completed within 1 year and trial to get over in next 1 year. Within two years, the corrupt should go to jail.
2. Lokpal and Lokayukta will have complete powers to order dismissal of a corrupt officer. CVC and all departmental vigilance will be merged into Lokpal and state vigilance will be merged into Lokayukta.
3. Lokpal & Lokayukta shall have powers to investigate and prosecute any judge without needing anyone’s permission.
4. Lokpal & Lokayukta will have to enquire into and hear every complaint.
5. All investigations in Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be transparent. After completion of investigation, all case records shall be open to public. Complaint against any staff of Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be enquired and punishment announced within two months.
6. Politicians will have absolutely no say in selections of Chairperson and members of Lokpal & Lokayukta. Selections will take place through a transparent and public participatory process.
7. Lokpal & Lokayukta will get public grievances resolved in time bound manner, impose a penalty of Rs 250 per day of delay to be deducted from the salary of guilty officer and award that amount as compensation to the aggrieved citizen.
8. Loss caused to the government due to corruption will be recovered from all accused.
9. Enhanced punishment – The punishment would be minimum 5 years and maximum of life imprisonment.

भारतीय राष्ट्रीय ध्वज का डिज़ाइनर कौन था?
फ़्रांसीसी क्रांति और उसके नारे स्वतंत्रता, समानता और बंधुत्व का भारतीय राष्ट्रवाद पर गहरा असर पडा. सन् 1831 में जब राजा राम मोहन राय इंग्लैंड जा रहे थे तो उन्हें एक फ्रांसीसी जहाज़ पर फ़्रांस का झंडा लहराता दिखाई दिया. उसमें भी तीन रंग थे. 1857 की क्रांति ने भारतवासियों के दिल में आज़ादी के बीज बो दिए.
बीसवीं शताब्दी में जब स्वदेशी आंदोलन ने ज़ोर पकड़ा तो एक राष्ट्रीय ध्वज की ज़रूरत महसूस हुई. स्वामी विवेकानंद की शिष्या सिस्टर निवेदिता ने सबसे पहले इसकी परिकल्पना की.
फिर 7 अगस्त 1906 को कोलकाता में बंगाल के विभाजन के विरोध में एक रैली हुई जिसमें पहली बार तिरंगा झंडा फहराया गया. समय के साथ इसमें परिवर्तन होते रहे लेकिन जब अंग्रेज़ों ने भारत छोड़ने का फ़ैसला किया तो देश के नेताओं को राष्ट्रीय ध्वज की चिंता हुई.
डॉक्टर राजेंद्र प्रसाद की अध्यक्षता में एक ध्वज समिति का गठन किया गया और उसमें यह फ़ैसला किया गया कि भारतीय राष्ट्रीय कांग्रेस के झंडे को कुछ परिवर्तनों के साथ राष्ट्र ध्वज के रूप में स्वीकार कर लिया जाए, ये तिरंगा हो और इसके बीच में अशोक चक्र हो.

भारत की राजधानी कोलकाता से दिल्ली कब लाई गई. ?

सन् 1911 में. 1772 में कोलकाता को ब्रिटिश इंडिया की राजधानी बनाया गया था और भारत के प्रथम गवर्नर जनरल वॉरैन हेस्टिंग्स सभी महत्वपूर्ण कार्यालय मुर्शीदाबाद से कोलकाता ले गए थे. लेकिन फिर सन् 1911 में दिल्ली को फिर से राजधानी बनाया गया.

भारत रत्न से सम्मानित प्रथम व्यक्ति कौन थे, राधाकृष्णन या राजगोपालाचारी ?

1954 में सबसे पहले तीन व्यक्तियों को ये सम्मान मिला, डॉ सर्वपल्ली राधाकृष्णन, चक्रवर्ती राजागोपालाचारी और डॉ सी वी रमन. भारत रत्न भारत का सबसे बड़ा सम्मान है और राष्ट्रीय सेवा के लिए दिया जाता है. ये सेवा कला, साहित्य, विज्ञान या सार्वजनिक किसी भी क्षेत्र में हो सकती है.
इस सम्मान की स्थापना 2 जनवरी 1954 में भारत के राष्ट्रपति द्वारा की गई थी. फिर इस मैडल के डिज़ायिन को बदलने के लिए नियमों में परिवर्तन किया गया. अब मैडल की शक्ल कुछ ऐसी है. तांबे के बने पीपल के पत्ते पर प्लैटिनम का चमकता सूर्य है जिसके नीचे चाँदी में लिखा रहता है भारत रत्न

जिस तरह भारत में वर पक्ष द्वारा वधु पक्ष से दहेज लिया जाता है क्या पश्चिमी देशों में भी वैसी प्रथा है ?

पुराने समय में लड़की के माता पिता, लकड़ी के एक बक्से में दहेज की चीज़ें जुटाया करते थे और शादी के वक्त ये बक्सा, लड़की के साथ जाता था. अब भी वे अपनी हैसियत के हिसाब से अपने बेटी दामाद के लिये तोहफ़े ख़रीदते हैं लेकिन भारत की तरह नहीं. इसका एक कारण ये भी है कि यहां माता पिता द्वारा शादियां तय नहीं की जातीं, लड़के लड़की स्वयं चयन करते हैं. यूं तो शादी का अधिकतर ख़र्च लड़की वाले उठाते हैं लेकिन किन्ही रस्मों का ख़र्च लड़के वालों के ज़िम्मे रहता है.

गंगाजल काफ़ी दिनों तक रखने के बावजूद ख़राब नहीं होता है जबकि साधारण जल कुछ दिनों में ख़राब हो जाता है, क्यों?

गोमुख से निकली भागीरथी, देवप्रयाग में अलकनंदा से मिलती है. यहाँ तक आते-आते इसमें कुछ चट्टानें घुलती जाती हैं जिससे इसके जल में ऐसी क्षमता पैदा हो जाती है जो पानी को सड़ने नहीं देती. हर नदी के जल की अपनी जैविक संरचना होती है, जिसमें ख़ास तरह के घुले हुए पदार्थ रहते हैं जो कुछ क़िस्म के बैक्टीरिया को पनपने देते हैं कुछ को नहीं. बैक्टीरिया दोनों तरह के होते हैं, वो जो सड़ाते हैं और जो नहीं सड़ाते. वैज्ञानिक शोध से पता चला है कि गंगा के पानी में ऐसे बैक्टीरिया हैं जो सड़ाने वाले कीटाणुओं को पनपने नहीं देते, इसलिए पानी लंबे समय तक ख़राब नहीं होता. इस जल मैं बहुत तरह के जड़ी बूटी के भी अंश बहुतायत मात्र में पाए जाते हैं .

ऑस्कर पुरस्कार में जो मूर्ति दी जाती है वह किस महापुरुष की होती है ?

किसी की नहीं. सन 1927 में ऐकेडमी ऑफ़ मोशन पिक्चर्स आर्ट्स ऐंड साइन्सिस की बैठक में जब ट्रोफ़ी के डिज़ाइन पर चर्चा हुई तो लॉस ऐन्जिलिस के कई कलाकारों से अपने अपने डिज़ाइन सामने रखने को कहा गया. और पसन्द की गई मूर्तिकार जॉर्ज स्टैनली की प्रतिमा. इसमें फ़िल्म की रील पर खड़े एक आदमी को हाथ में एक तलवार पकड़े दिखाया गया है.
1929 से अब तक दो हज़ार से ज़्यादा ऑस्कर ट्रोफ़ियां दी जा चुकी हैं. इनका निर्माण कार्य शिकागो की आर एस ओएन्स ऐंड कम्पनी के सुपुर्द है और उन्हे पचास प्रतिमाएं बनाने में तीन से चार सप्ताह का समय लगता है. शुरु में यह प्रतिमा तांबे की बनती थी क्योंकि विश्व युद्ध के दौरान धातु की कमी थी, लेकिन अब यह सोने का पानी चढ़े ब्रिटैनियम से बनती है. ऑस्कर ट्रोफ़ी तेरह इंच लम्बी होती है और इसका वज़न है आठ पाउन्ड.

DEV ANAND is the ‘Evergreen Romantic Superstar’ of Indian Cinema. Just the mention of his name conjures up images of youthfulness, romance, style, and extremely good looks in the minds of his millions of fans and admirers the world over. After having played the Lead Actor for more than Five Decades in over 110 motion pictures, the awe-inspiring DEV ANAND continues to bestride Indian Cinema today. He has given a new dimension to that magical state known as Stardom. For his exemplary work, he was recently awarded the PADMA BHUSHAN – a Title awarded to a person of extraordinary talent for his outstanding contribution and/or achievements in his discipline by the PRESIDENT OF INDIA.

Dev Anand, one of Indian cinema’s bonafide legends, has died in London.PTI said Devsaab, who millions of his fans felt would live forever, died of a heart attack. He was 89. Devsaab, who had traveled to London for a medical check up, was not keeping well for the last few days, family sources told PTI. His son Sunil Anand was with him when he passed away.

Among his countless hits were Paying Guest, Baazi, Jewel Thief, CID, Johny Mera Naam, Amir Garib, Warrant, Hare Rama Hare Krishna and Des Pardes. For his outstanding contribution to Indian cinema, Dev Anand was honoured with the Padma Bhushan in 2001 and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2002. He co-produced the English Version of Guide with the Nobel Laureate Pearl S Buck (The Good Earth). In 1993, he received a Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award and in 1996 he received a Screen Videocon Lifetime Achievement Award. Of late he was involved in the direction of a new all American film Project Song Of Life – a musical love story which was to be shot in the United States.

He was to play the central character in the film which was to have a predominantly American star cast. Dev Anand is the second of three brothers who were active in Hindi Cinema. His brothers are Chetan Anand and Vijay Anand. Their sister, Sheel Kanta Kapur, is the mother of renowned film director Shekhar Kapur.
