Above list just does not show different names but shows that :
1. Corruption is not specific to any department or state.
2. Young officers have the courage to face the corrupt people even if the system is not supportive.
3. All state government took some action to show that they will not spare the culprit but is punishing one culprit is enough ? should not they do more to avoid such occurrences ?
4. Central/state Governments does not have policy/regulation in place to protect the honest officers.People can say that we have :
- RTI( where RTI activists are killed) and
- CVC(Mr. P.J. Thomas) where top official of the country's highest anti-corruption watchdog seems to be an accused on bail.
- Legal system - where 2/3 laws are obsolete,thousands of cases are pending.
Such incidents lower the morale of honest officers and, in many cases, political interference helps the culprits to escape capital punishment. Unless these are checked, criminals will continue to rule the roost.So what action is needed :
1. Anti-corruption Legislation from Central government with severe punishment for guilty or even guilty probable. After Raja,Kalmadi,Ashok Chavan,P.J. Thomas PM is in desperate need of such legislation to save his face(if not Kursi).This is the high time* when Dr. Singh can invite a special anti-corruption session in parliament where all national level parties unanimously pass this bill.
( * When )
2. Absolute Fast-track courts for corruption cases.
3. A Wikileak type of online interface where people can lodge corruption-proof anonymously.
I wish no mother will lose his son to such pathetic system.
Why Neem Honey should be used more for healthsake ?
My niece has comparably weaker immune system and thus she is susceptible to cold. On my recent visit to India , one of the experienced KGMC,lucknow doctor told me to give her the some natural things to improve his immunity.One of those things was Neem Honey.He asked her and us to use it in our daily life as it is full of Vitamins & Minerals. I did some efforts before I finally got a bottle of Neem Honey at matabadal pansari,Aminabad.
Later I tried to explore the goodness of Neem Honey and surprised to know that it is one of the finest Honey type for everybody.It is obtained from the Neem tree. So Neem Honey is natural blend of anti-inflammatory+anti-tussive+antiseptic qualities of Neem plus antiviral and faster curing properties of Honey.As per the records :
1. It is good for improving eye sight.
2. Harmless for diabetic patients.
3. Good Blood Purifier.
4. Improves complexion of body.
5. Natural tonic for kids.
Best Usage: One Teaspoon before bedtime or once a day in the morning before breakfast.
Note : Do not mix with anything HOT as this will destroy the live enzymes in the honey and cause some of the venom to evaporate.
Some more points for Honey in general :
Ancient Greek athletes consumed honey to boost their energy and performance levels during Olympics events as it contains glucose and fructose, known to produce tremendous reserves of glycogen in the liver.1-TS in night can support our brain function. The fructose is stored as energy reserves in the liver, ready to fuel the brain overnight.
Colds are caused by viruses and honey is a natural antiviral. In a Pennsylvania State College of Medicine study, a spoonful of honey outperformed over-the-counter cold remedies.,Research in 2007 by Shone Blair at Sydney University concluded that honey dressings for superbug wound infections should be used as a 'first choice'.
Honey supports friendly gut bacteria, aiding digestion, and is good for those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and thrush. According to previous studies, one should consume 2 TS , 3 times a day for gastric ulcers.
Honey boosts the immune system and has an antibacterial effect internally and externally, helping the body to heal.

Why Norway is warmer than other similar places of Northern hemisphere
I did not know answer to above so .....
The Gulf Stream* is the reason why the temperatures in Norway are 5-8°C warmer than at comparable latitudes elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere.
*The Gulf Stream is a powerful, warm, and swift Atlantic ocean current that originates at the tip of Florida, and follows the eastern coastlines of the United States and Newfoundland before crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
The Namesake - another revisit
After 3 years,A watched the The Namesake , a movie that has more meaning and substance to the Indians settled abroad.I also looked at Nikolai Gogol to unearth the hidden treasure about him as well.Somewhere I am deeply touched with the events portrayed in the film and experienced the deja vu.I guess the real credit goes to Jhumpa Lahiri for writing such a great novel and then to Mira Nair and her team for the remarkable film. It perfectly shows the :
1. Indian immigrant family experience
2. Emotion of Indian parents and relatives.
3. Generational gap between NRIs and their foreign born kids
I wish kids of all the NRIs/PIOS and their kids watch this movie and love and respect the culture( irrespective of the problems and issues that we face in India ).
I wish in future,my kids ( if they stay in foreign land for rest of their life) watch this movie and understand the feelings of Indian parents and culture.
Advice - Healthy and cheap food(Norway)
I found the Following advice on the norwegain health directorate website(http://www.helsedirektoratet.no)
- Look for cheaper brands that offer products in all the basic food groups.
- Save money by providing more space for vegetables and potatoes on dinner plates and less room for meat. Beans and lentils are healthy, and you save money if they replace the meat.
- 1 kg frozen vegetables can be inexpensive and suitable for many dishes.
- Traditional vegetables kårot, carrot, onion and leek are mostly reasonable all year round and can be the basis for many dishes - baked, or as a base in soups and stews.
- Follow the seasons when it comes to fruits and vegetables. Do you have storage capacity is autumn a good time to buy large quantities of fruit, berries, vegetables and potatoes.
- Save money by replacing French fries with potatoes.Baked potatoes can be an easy and exciting option.
- Fish fillets, such as pollock, is an affordable alternative to meat.
- Lean ground beef is not necessarily more expensive than regular ground beef.
- Eat more bread and cut thicker slices. There are cheap varieties of bread keeps you full longer. Bread is also much cheaper than an order.
- Healthier cereal is usually cheaper than products with a lot of sugar.
- Milk with Keyhole that extra light and skimmed milk is rarely cost more than light and whole milk.
- Lean meats, like ham or turkey fillet, cost is not necessarily more than meats with higher fat content.
- Do not throw away leftovers. Use residues to order (fried fish) or in casseroles and omelets the next day. Residues may also be suitable as supper or freeze.
- Mager quark is a healthier alternative to sour cream and not expensive. Quark can also be used to make different kinds of dip.
- Fruit and vegetables as snacks are cheaper than chocolate and crisps.
- Water is the best thirst drink. Choosing water instead of soda reduces both the intake of sugar and monetary costs.
- Compare the price per kilogram. It can be found on shelf labels.
- Look at the ingredient list.Foodstuff contains most of what is first.
- Look for good deals.
Manisha Mandir : Home for Destitute girls
Reading the story of lovable daughter Manisha's sad and untimely demise, I could feel the nature of pain that Dr. Sarojini Agarwal had when she faced God's decision.Only a can mother knows how the kids feel when they don't have MOTHER in their life.The work being done for the destitute girls by Dr. Agarwal thru her organization Manisha Mandir,Lucknow shows that if you do anything with heart and soul , it can really make a difference in society. Looking at the website of the organization I am sure that :
- In spite of initial hurdles(e. finance,space and family responsibility) she made Manisha Mandir a success story.
- Manisha Mandir is well connected with the people who are in power and can help the organization.
- Manisha Mandir has a clear vision and plan to succeed in society.
I wish :
- Girls coming out of Manisha Mandir take confidence and self-dependence qualities for Dr. Agarwal and be role models for others.This will exponentially spread the work of Dr. Agarwal in supporting other such kids.
- More and more people connect themselves with her mission and vision and there will be more such initiatives in other part of Lucknow.

Mr. Gulam Nabi Azad ..are you mistaken ?
I read that Union health minister Sri. Ghulam Nabi Azad feels improving use of any form of contraceptives is only way India can stabilize the population by 2060. Previously he set this target to be achievable by 2045.
This is so pathetic......I am sure he understands and knows that population is no. 1 enemy to the all round development of nation but not doing enough in this direction......I am 1000% sure India will not get this target even by 2060 as just preaching villagers and illiterate people to use contraceptive is not sufficient as they have their own reason to disobey Azadji's suggestion. eg :
1. If people like Kalmadi and A. Raza who sits at top position can not be patriotic when doing their work how can we expect our fellow citizens ( with little insight) to be patriotic and stop breeding( sorry for this word)
2. Why country like China tried to curb it through legislation ? Did not they thought about what Mr. Azad is thinking now ?
3. I just checked the site of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) and found that they do not have any M&E parameter where their progress is monitored on the basis of child birth control. i.e distribution of contraceptive will be just add-on responsibility for them...so why they will give this as prime importance ?
http://mohfw.nic.in/eag/MONITORING%20AND%20EVALUATION.htm
I request people not to link population growth as Hindu/Muslims issue but a national issue.

Mission - Obama to Mama : Prithijit Patrik Basu
I salute to the people of like Mr. Prithijit Patrik Basu,Kolkata-born MBBS doctor who is serving at American Liver Foundation,USA. His mission :
Opening up a liver research and treatment centre in Kolkata with budget of 100 cr.
- sub-centres in districts surrounding the Kolkata.
- Each sub-centre will be inter-connected and also linked to the main centre through satellite.
- Institute will have a helipad and helicopter facilities to airlift patients from remote areas.
- Institute will have a doctor exchange programme with medical establishments in the US.
Question : as of now he says 'The institute will cater to poor patients' but this will be matter of future concern as poor in India easily* does not get this kind of facility cheap*.We have Institutes like Apollo, Fortis and Medcity but how much helping or serving the poor people is still a question ?
So good luck to Mr. Prithijit in his noble efforts ....

Kumble ...Man of values
Anil kumble's decision to concentrate on Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) and not to take part in IPL 4 shows the honesty missing in most of the high profile people.This certainly shows the values he posses as compare to the other high profile sports people who holds multiple posts just for fame and money . For eg. Suresh Kalmadi who is president of
- Indian Olympic Association(IOA),
- Asian Athletics Association, and
- Athletics Federation of India simultaneously and also hold the post of Chairman of the Organizing Committee of recently concluded Commonwealth Games.Only God knows how he could manage the time to all these and worked as active congress party member also. He should have learned something from the people like Kumble, who is not so much fame hungry and Money minded and wants to work for betterment of sports. I wish Kumble best of luck in his future endeavours.

Saddest new year of my life..........
This New year-2011 was the saddest New year as I was missing my Mom at this so called 'festive time'.I realized that when she was alive I did not miss her as much as I am missing her now.She was the only person in this world knows me more than me and so I lost my inner soul in outer world.I know that I would never get the shoulder where I can put my head and cry or the person who feels my pain before it people see it in my eyes...I know that I would never get the warmth in my home , when my visit the home again.
But on the other hand I am satisfied and thankful for the GOD as :
1. He gave Mom THE BEST treatment and feeling and took her with him in few seconds.....THANK YOU GOD.
2. He gave Mom chance to do a lot of things that she wanted to do...
3. He gave Mom , the power to oblige so many people whether they belong to my father side or mother side
It does not matter how long you live what matters is how well you live
I Love you Mom as always....
DO NOT eat raw eggs ....
When I was 'young' , we used to see the following ad on national television about the egg.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEDGw8j6EJs
This ad was institutionalizing the fact that Egg is just great and it does not matter how you eat it. Later I read more about it and I must say that one should understand the constitution of egg to know the fact :
Egg has 2 following main parts :
While part - albumen :
...................approximately 15 Calories
...................Majority of the protein (100 per cent complete in all essential amino acids) content is in the egg white, and since it has just 1% fat; it contributes very little calories to the daily intake. Thus egg whites can be had in multiple numbers daily.
Yellow part - yolk :
...................approximately 60 Calories
...................A large yolk contains 200+ mg cholesterol ( daily intake of cholesterol is 300 mg)
...................contain so many B-vitamins, trace minerals, vitamin A, folate, choline, lutein, and other powerful nutrients BUT ALSO 90% fat as well....so decide
Don't : Eating raw egg is not good as protein of cooked eggs is nearly twice as absorbable as the protein from raw eggs.Cooking eliminates the direct threat of Salmonella contamination.Cooked eggs are also easier to digest.

Bible for social entrepreneurship
This is the book which I started reading few months ago....more to come later
Kind of unknown facts about Indian Law
A dear advocate friend of mine , recently told me about the following which I was not aware of ...
- About two-thirds of our laws have not been used in independent India.
- About 10% them can be scrapped right away.
- And most of the 10 % in use currently have so many obsolete and conflicting provisions.
- The oldest law in the country has been in operation for over a century and half. The one sentence 1836 Bengal District Act empowers the Bengal government to create as many zillas as it wants. The Act still exists.
- Under the Indian Sarais Act, 1867, it is a punishable offence for ‘inn-keepers’ not to offer free drinking water to passer-by.
- Only about 40 per cent of our laws are in regular use. Independent India has till now found no conceivable use for the rest.
- While India badly needs efficient laws, the time spent by the law-making body on the job is unbelievably little.
- Parliament spends less than 0.6 per cent of a Lok Sabha day on law-making.
BJP Boss : Austerity for others royalty for us
What a leader N. Gadkari is :
1. Talks about austerity in public and political life.Goto RSS camps.
2. Spends millions on only son's wedding.
I guess he is going to say that this is his personal money i.e money that his family members and he own. Yes off course nobody has right to ask a question about PERSONAL MONEY but as head of family who is head of a no. 2 nationalistic party in India, does this shows a correct moral behaviour?
I think now onwards he has lost all the right to preach others to follow some standards in public life...He should be ashamed of himself and BJP too shares this with him.

Another epitome of Indian spirit...
I would like to tell myself a story of another Indian guy....I will disclose his name later so here it goes...
This Guy was born in the same year as me and but 2 days earlier than my loving daughter. His birth was also celebrated with the highest of hopes for his future(very common in India to have big function when a boy child is born). At younger age he was kind of failed in medical terms as he had severe Asthma,Rheumatoid and 60 % lung damage causing chances of his immune system failure.
His parents looked at the positive(?) side and believed that these terrible early difficulties would only make his success all the more blessed and honourable.He was expected to excel in his studies, to set an example for his younger brother and sisters.Like any other Indian child this guy was also in under tremendous pressure to become highly qualified like his scientist father but he could not find regular studies interesting enough for him and thus he became shame and disappointment for family.
As he was growing day by day , he was finding no fulfillment in life and becoming depressed and at one point of time when he was 16, he thought of one solution - SUICIDE. But he could not do it( as God did not want this). After this his mother ( like any other convinced him to attend a youth retreat as she had desired and there began his journey towards new life.
At this point of time , He got a different direction-GOD.His intellect/heart/brain says that God spoke to him "even though you have BEEN USELESS ALL YOUR LIFE, I NEED YOU NOW AND I CAN MAKE YOU A NEW CREATION.". I personally think that his faith and cirumstances made him to believe in God and led to a fresh start! A new birth! That was all it took to bring about a complete transformation in this lost and hurting young man. He started taking interest in something which fascinated him since childhood- MUSIC. He excelled in Music in very short period of time also invented few variations of Guitars.And now he is most travelled Indian musician in the world. But his humbleness and struggle made him true messenger of GOD and so wherever he goes he says that he is what he is because of 'God' and tell his personal story asking them to have faith in GOD.
Is there anything else one can ask from God....Thank you God for taking people to positive side of life. This Guy is Dr. Benny Prasad Kandukuri.
Telenor supported by Asia
Now a days I am reading and hearing a lot of news about Telenor doing good in Asian market so I just want to mention the following .....
Example- 1: While Uninor is taking leap in India and so Telenor is earning profit from Indian market.On the other side another Telenor is returning the favour by awarding Tata Consultancy Services(TCS) of India a big, multi-year fixed bid contract(for 3 years) to modernise its IT systems in Norway.Financial details weren’t disclosed, but under the contract, TCS will help Telenor Norway with application maintenance and development services and work with the company to update its application portfolio across fixed, mobile, data warehouse and accounting system domains(called DUPLO).This way Indians have important role in Telenor.
Example- 2: Telenor chose Huawei of China to overhaul its Norwegian mobile network infrastructure ahead of European rivals such as Ericsson and Nokia Siemens Networks( 6 year contract ).
Not only this Telenor Key partner(another Telenor group company ) - is primarily supported by Pakistan and Bangladesh. It delivers shared services such as finance, HR, procurement, and Telenor's global intranet for Telenor.
All above examples show the scale of competitive challenge facing the developed world as China,India and Pakistan climb the economic value chain.
