RAM NAVAMI - The Birth Anniversary of Ram [January 10, 5114 BC]

According to Ramayana 1.18.8,9
Rama was born on the 'Navami Tithi' of 'Shukla Paksha' of 'Chaitra Masa' (9th day of the increasing phase of the moon in the loonar month of 'Chaitra'). At the time the naxatra was 'Punarvasu' and Sun, Mars, Saturn, Jupitar and Venus were in Aries, Capricorn, Libra, Cancer and Pisces respectively. Lagna was cancer and Jupiter and moon were shining together.
[and many say this repeats every 10,000 years]
So the conditions summarized are as follows

Valmiki has recorded in Bal Kaand Sarga 19 and shloka 8 and 9 (1/18/8,9) that Shri Ram was born on the ninth tithi of Chaitra month when the position of different planets vis-a-vis zodiac constellations and nakshatras (visible stars) was as under :- 1 Sun in Aries ii) Saturn in Libra iii) Jupiter in Cancer iv) Venus in Pisces v) Mars in Capricorn vi) Lunar month of Chaitra vii) Ninth day after no moon viii) Lagna as Cancer (Cancer was rising in the east) ix) Moon on the Punarvasu (Gemini constellation & Pollux star) x) Day time (around noon)

This data was fed into the Planetarium software. The results indicated that this was exactly the location of planets/stars vis-a-vis zodiac constellations on January10, noon time in the year 5114 BC. As per the Indian calendar, it was the ninth day of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month and the time was around 12 to 1 noontime. This is exactly the time and date when Ram Navmi is celebrated all over India till date.

"Obama Experiment" Results in Professor Failing the Entire Economics Class ??!!

copied from : http://www.reboilroom.com/2012/01/obama-experiment-results-in-professor.html

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. 

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.. 
The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. It could not be any simpler than that. 
Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:


1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Kidney Stones and homeopathy !?

Why is it a sin to pay beggars in india ?

 There is a small house which is being constructed right in front of the 1bhk where i am staying as a tenant. The construction workers are paid 500Rs/day as on 5/2/2013. These workers work from 9am to 1pm and then from 2pm to 5pm or 6pm. So that is 8 to 9 hours. This money is untaxed of course and they earn about 15,000 INR a month. My neighbor is an MBA graduate and his rent is almost the same as mine and he pays around 7.5k per month as rent and his pay per month is 12k to 14k as on 5/2/2013 and he pays taxes.
Let us consider another indian who too earns money by threatening to show off his genitals if you don't give him or her, your money. Meet 'lalbagh' the pride garden of bengaluru. Here you can find some cross dressers and transsexuals who will approach the couples who are sitting cozily in a park and ask for money. If you do not pay they just lift their saree and skirt and expose their unshaved genitals and fearing this the guy will pay the ransom, otherwise you will be embarrassed in front of your date and that might be your last date with her. These 'hijdas' (eunuch) don't even leave those families who have come there for a time out and they just want the money.These cons are not just in gardens but they are almost in every circle where you have a signal which stops vehicles. I have seen such pinheads making as low as 8,000 to 10,000 in 2 to 3 hours and once such amount is made they give this money to their money handler in the park whose sole job is to transport that money to a safe place and come back for more.
There was a report of an incident which supposedly happened in chennai, a young boy was kidnapped from a neighboring state and his sex was changed to a girl and was made to beg and used for prostitution by gangs who specialize in all this. Today indian government provides free food at government schools but still you see kids on the streets asking for money to eat and they say they are starving?! These are those kids employed by such gangs using some or the other kind of illegal force and method to make them beg in the day and use them for sexual purposes at night. There have been various reports of people abroad coming to india for some pedophilic activities who usually have contacts of those who lend such (forcefully orphaned sometimes by kidnapping at a very young age) orphaned kids for such activities.

My friend tells me about the lady near his house who is a professional beggar. this old lady goes to a different area in her normal clothes and begs, she is begging in that area from 30 years and now she has her own house, she has given the other 2 houses for rent, her 2 kids have property in dubai. I am not saying all beggars are the same, but i am saying that if you really want to help them then direct them to a nearest NGO, school or orphanage or to a place where they have some work but do not pay them and be a reason for their demise which will essentially and eventually cause the society's demise. There are many who have enough self respect to work for money, inspite of being physically challenged. I have stopped paying any beggar no matter what, even a begging lady with a crying baby with her won't get a penny from me since most probably as always the baby is a hired toddler from a fellow beggar whose mother lend's her kid to others who will pinch them in public to make it cry so that we see the kid and pay some money.
My uncles are farmers and many of the times they have had a big shortage of workers in their farm that they are not getting workers for even triple the regular pay, if only all these beggars, cross dressers, snake charmers and other fraudsters go and find some work.....but it seems their current profession to these people is more profitable due to our ignorance than working at a construction site for 15,000 a month or working at a farm for similar money + free grains or vegetables from the farm. Just imagine if a tea shop owner behind our office who also sells some indian fast foods like bajji, vade and idli, makes a profit of nearly 20k to 25k; the mini moving cart hotel which only makes rotis and 2 curries, makes a profit of 20k to 25k but these people do not want to do that, either because they are completely satisfied begging on the streets under the harsh sunlight for money or its way too profitable or anti social elements are forcing them to beg. None of these 3 reasons are valid enough for me to pay them money. Sorry it is just my opinion and if yours is different then let's agree to disagree, shall we?!

SelfKill of government sectors in india

Government knows that government sectors are a burden to the government and may not be a good idea for progress in india. Unlike private sectors government sectors like BSNL (Bharath Sanchar Nigam Limited), BEML and HAL etc., have the responsibility to satisfy all religions, castes and subcastes when they are hiring employees for their sector based on reservation quota set by government. They also have to pay pension to the retired employee. Many of the sectors also provide houses for stay till you are employed like HTM, HAL etc., Today if an employee of HTM has to rent the house that has been offered for free to him by the govt. sector then it would cost him more than his salary in a town like bengaluru. There is a saying in India which goes somewhat like this 'govt. job is like a god's job, only god should come and do it'. Govt. sector employees are known to be rude especially 10 years ago where there were no private banks, the bank employees use to behave with you as if they are doing us a favor by keeping our money but now after the entry of private sectors a lot has changed.

Private sectors offer you a job based on your qualification where as govt. sectors offer you jobs based on your birth, politicos recommendations, bribe and influence and thus the quality of the workforce at govt. sector is low with high maintenance where as with private sectors it is the opposite. If you go to govt. sector bank today you will see that the dress sense, the behavior and the way these 50+ year old employees work are rude and unprofessional where as a private bank will have young employees whose pay might be tagged to the way they work, their courteousness and their achievements unlike govt. employees. When a private sector and a govt. sector in the telecom industry (ex: BSNL Vs Airtel) are competing with each other then Airtel will obviously have an advantage since their customer care executives were hired because they have good communication skills where as in BSNL you will be hired because you have some political affiliation or your religion/caste is under reservation quota. If you ever call BSNL and report a problem you will know that apart from their opening statement they cannot speak a word of english and they want you to speak in a language which they speak rather than the language of your preference. Even If i speak to them in Kannada (regional language of Karnataka) or Hindi (unofficial national language of India) they cannot speak these language fluently too and most of them will be outright rude to you as if they are doing you a favor by giving you a mobile phone connection and they will never even ask you to stay with them if you say that you will leave their network and move to Airtel. This all happens because there is a very unfair high level of job security which has given to these govt. employees for granted and they are allowed to literally take their jobs for granted. It is almost impossible or highly unlikely for a govt. employee to fired for non performance because almost none of the govt. sectors have parameters to measure performance. Almost all govt. sectors in india have been trend followers at the verge of extinction rather than taking a step forward and do what is necessary. It was private sectors like Citibank which forced the govt. sectors like SBI to open up ATMs since citibank started taking away their customers with their superior facilities like same day account opening, credit card, debit card, check book facility where as in a SBI bank we still have to get a referral from an existing SBI account holder, then apply for an account, open account after standing in queue for hours and taking your application through multiple tables you will have an account. Then your debit card will be shipped to your address a week after, your ipin will be shipped a week after that, then you need to apply for a check book separately so that you can write cheques. You can only apply for e-banking separately after maintaining a minimum balance of some amount of money for some defined period of time.
Bottom line is, there is no need for the private sectors to compete with the govt. sectors since they have already poisoned by the govt. policies such as reservation which pushes unqualified candidates into the govt. sector and where performance is not a parameter. In private sectors your career depends on your performance and qualification not your age, religion or political affiliation thus the quality of service will always be better than the govt. sectors and in the long run these govt. sectors will be closed. Currently there is a monopoly of government in the transport sectors like railway department and may be thats why indian railways are known as the worlds longest toilets.
