Stage of Grace

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to sat that maharastra is a state with a split personality. On the one hand is its best known fact, the city of Mumbai-cosmopolitan, pulsating with life, always vibrant and restless. On the other is a varied landscape that hides in its folds a million secrets-720 km of stunning coastline, forbidding forts, roaring rivers, quiet hill stations, and varied crafts and cultural traditions. And then there are the rich expressions of folk art, cinema and theatre for which the state is legendary. You may think you know mostly everything there is to know about maharashtra, but at every step, there something new to discover. Most people think of Mumbai as chaotic and it is! But there’s also a different Mumbai-easy going, always ready for fun. Cricket is almost a religion. Fortunately, there are still some open maidans, like this one in front of the Bombay municipal corporation, whare die-hard cricket fans can play.

About Kohima

A new report says that the ancient city of Aizanoi which is located in Turkey might have had the world's first stock exchange. They found a round building which might have served as a functional stock exchange as there were copy of price lists on the partly repaired walls. The building was used as the food market in the second part of the 2nd century AD. The building had detailed lists that meant a physically strong slave could be the same price as two donkeys and one horse could be worth three slaves. Kohima has a pleasant and moderate climate - not too cold in winters and pleasant summers. December and January are the coldest months when frost occurs and in the higher altitudes snowfall occurs occasionally.
During the height of summers, from July-August, temperature ranges an average of 80-90 Fahrenheit. Heavy rainfall occurs during summer. The Nagaland State Museum is a one-stop treasure house where you can get a glimpse into Naga culture through history. The main items exhibited are gateposts, statues, pillars, and jewelry. A ceremonial drum which looks like a dug-out war canoe is exhibited in a separate shed. The basement of the museum has birds and animals of the North-Eastern hill states.

Depp, The Great

Johnny Depp is one of the very few actors whose movies you can definitely watch and enjoy. Each one of his movies are really good. And that would be one the biggest reasons why I like his movies. Even in the 90's he acted in some mysterious movies like Sleepy Hollow and Secret Window. Most of his movies are fantasy related and many are a bit dark and eerie. He is also a very humurous person and his comic side can be perfectly noted in movies like The Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy. I have always been a very good follower of his movies right from the time when he acted as an investigator in Sleepy Hollow till now. His recent work, Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, needs very special mention and it's surely one of his best movies ever. I also heard that Johnny Depp sang his own songs in the movie. I think that's pretty incredible. His character in the movie sends cold shivers down the spine and the movie is very artistic and mysterious. Adopted from a play in Broadway, Tim Burton, as he always does, has made the script into a fantastic movie that will stay in your mind for a long long time. I think Depp is the perfect guy for Tim Burton to make movies with. Together they have made Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd and much more than what I know. I feel that Depp is very stylish too. He is quite fantastic isn't he?

Direct Descendant

They've found the direct descendant of the bunch of people who migrated from Africa to form India's first family. They've been hunting for the M130 gene for more than five years it seems. A little trace of the gene was found in many people across the south eastern countries like Malaysia and Singapore. Why M130? Well, that is believed to be the gene that was carried by the first settlers of India. What exactly is M130? Honestly I have no idea except that it's some gene. Why worry, M130 sounds a lot better than heirohyperglycemia doesn't it? Back to the first family thing. What happened was, the bunch of scientists who were hunting for the DNA ended up in a little village near Madurai in South India where all inhabitants of the closely knit community seemed to have something very close to the actual gene that these guys were looking for. And thus they cornered Virumandi, a systems engineer, and conducted a research for the next five years. The guy cooperated well with the scientists and they finally came to the conclusion that Virumandi is the direct descendant of India's first settlers. This news created waves in local newspapers and media and the guy became a little popular. Now that's pretty cool. But what's cooler than being the direct descendant of the country's first family? He would be really proud of his lineage. The articles about this were quite interesting to read but I got mad when a group of guys at work mistook Virumandi to be the world's first man. There was this guy who asked whether Adam was an Indian! Another one wondered why the bible didn't mention this. Oh my..they took the fun out of it. Anyway, it's pretty good that they've actually successfully found the descendant among of billions of people out there. Must have been real hard. I hope they're right.

Be Safe In Foreign Land

If you are visiting a foreign country you check on the following things. Find out the addresses and phone numbers of your country's embassy. This has to be done before you are starting from your country. If something bad happens to you, they are the only person you can contact. Try to be polite and have good manners. This goes a long way, no matter what country you are in. If you are polite, locals will also be. Don't draw attention to yourself. Don't draw attention to yourself, so dress ostentatiously and don't wear flashy jewellery.
If you are planning on staying in a particular place for sometime, keep alerting your routine. Don't leave or come back to your hotel every day at the same time and don't take the same route everyday. Your wallets and purses attract attention. Keep your money in a safe place like a money-belt under your clothes or an ankle-belt that is worn under your socks.

A Place For Summer Vacation

The blanket of greenery that covers chhattisgarh, will, like a long, cool drink of water, refresh the traveler tired of traffic jams and high rises. With 44 percent of the state under forest cover, punctuated by some of the highest, most turbulent water falls in the country, and a reservoir of mineral wealth, chhattisgarh, created only four years ago, glows both with economical potential and as a tourist destination. Its numerous wild life sanctuaries and national parks, of which the kanger valley is the most famous, boast a stunning variety of birds and animals. This park, with its immense limestone caves and a gently meandering river that ends in an unexpected, frothy plunge-the tirathgarh falls-is among the most isolated, serene locations in the country. Chhattisgarh has long been known for the vibrant culture of its people, and while it is harder to get in touch with these traditional communities, the government’s efforts to promote local arts have ensured that visitors are able to get more than a taste of its dynamic culture. With much to be explored and experienced both culturally and geographically, the state has a freshness and intrigue that few destinations can claim.

World Wide Calling

I have a friend residing in USA. Actually he lived here and two years ago he moved over there. When he was he used to call me at least thrice a week but after moving over there he call me only once in a month. He said that international call rates very high over there and so he was not able to call me frequently. But suddenly all changed. He started calling me every day. I asked whether he is doing some illegal business to get more money. At that time only he told me about 3longdistance and their services. I come to know they are providing TEL3Advantage (Dial-Around Long Distance Service) for their customers. With this service, you will be given an access number to dial around the long distance provider to access their low rates. They are also providing cheap long distance calling cards and lowest call rates for their customers. If you want to call UK or if you want to call India or any other foreign countries at low rates then 3longdistance service will help you.

Going out for a road trip with your family is one of the memorable moments in our life. We will be away from our work with our family and we will be out of stress. A small car is enough for this trip. But if you have a big family, think what you will do. You have to find place for your luggage’s, foods and also for your family. Accommodating your big family along with luggages in a small car would make your family members feel exhausted and give them only a little chance to enjoy the trip. At that time we need some trailer homes for our trip. During this road trips we are responsible for the happiness and also the safety of our family.

Be Kind Enough

Kindness not only makes our life happier, but also gives us some self satisfaction about our life. Kindness makes our life longer and makes it sweeter. A research says that the people who have helped someone at some part of their life time lives more number of years than others. A survey asked older couples if they had helped their friend or neighbor just once in the previous year. Five years later, those who had were 50% more likely to outlive those who hadn't.
This Research has shown that social contact is good for us but we won't get in to it properly. It turns out that the benefits may actually be rooted in the contributions we make. Just think a moment! We are not going to donate any organ of our body just show others little kindness. So both the ends can get benefited because of this.

Holy Faith

Middle Path is the holiest of all places for Buddhists. About 15 km from gaya, prince siddharth’s quest for enlightenment was fulfilled more than 2500 years ago under a peepal tree in bodhgaya, and thus was born Buddhism. Historians say that the present tree is probably the fifth descendant of the original tree to be planted at the site. The entire courtyard of the temple is studded with a large number of stupas- all in different sizes but extremely elegant, built 2,500 years ago.
Some other sacred spots in the temple include chankaramana, where Buddha meditated for a week, animeshlochana, where he spent time looking at the mahabodhi tree, and the sacred lotus tank, the sacred tank where he spent a week before he attained nirvana. The quiet, serene village is dotted with a number of other Buddhist temples; like the Tibetan, thai, Chinese, Bhutanese and Japanese monasteries.

Every autumn, the nongkrem dance is held at smit, the cultural hotspot of the khasi hills, to commemorate the evolution of the khasi indigenous democratic states. Another colourful khasi celebration is shad suk mynsiem, a thanks giving festival held during springtime.

Virgins dressed in traditional finery, and men in elaborate costumes, dance to music from drums and pipes called the tangmuri, the queen of musical instruments. A monsoon festival takes place in the jowai and jaintiahills which, apart from religious ceremonies, features a game of football called ‘datlawakor’. This festival is held to pray for a bountifull harvest and to chase away plague and disease.

Before Buying Multimedia Phones

If you are going to buy a new multimedia mobile phone you have consider certain features in it. In multimedia phones you will be getting a music player and an in built camera in it.If you are going to buy a new you have to check the audio quality of the music player and video quality of the camera in the phone. All the phone will be using an Operating system for its operation. You better get familiarized with this OS. You have to check for the for the features like good screen size, memory expandability, Blue tooth, IR, and audio and video quality.
If you are a traveler then multimedia phones will be the right choice for you. But if you are going to buy a multimedia phone then you have to consider it twice because these phones are little bit costlier when compared to that of ordinary basic phones. If you are a shutterbug, phones with high resolution cameras, built in flash and auto focus will make you drool. And if you are a music lover, you would want a phone with a good music player coupled with play list management. A 3.5 mm earphone jack will enable you to use any standard earphone with your phone.
Important features to look out for multimedia phones are A wide range of multimedia phones are available in the market with very stiff competition between the models. Entry level multimedia phones are not the trusted ones as their performances are lackluster. So if you want to buy a good multimedia phone, you got to be willing to spend more.

Start Flirting

According to me it is just a way to express your love. Really there is no age limit for flirting. Exactly I don’t know whether my looks make other persons to get interested in me. But I have noticed many girls often having a quick glance on me. But we can’t directly come to a conclusion that only my looks have given them to spark their interest. But I know the ways to get them interested. Being a guy I am giving tips which will work only for males. Most of the girls like the person who makes frequent eye contact with them. This doesn’t mean that you have to stare at that girl. If you are interested in a girl make sure you talk to her by looking directly in to her eyes. Don’t think it is that much easy to look at her eyes .But if you can, and then that day is yours.
