Rowling's 'The Casual Vacancy'

Finally J.K.Rowling takes that plunge ! It was not unexpected after spending five years without Harry Potters and she (in the meanwhile) becoming more matured with passing years.She is at present probably 47  years old, the ripe age to get herself moving into more serious business in the adult world. Probably that's the reason for keeping a low profile at present !

Sound pollution & Heart patient !

What is the decibel limit for sound in a house where several families, including heart patients, live together ? Wonder how long could a heart patient survive with a loud band being played at the very next room !! Who will be held responsible if the patient dies ? IS ANYONE LISTENING ?

Rural tourism ?

One should not be surprised if one happens to find foreigners mingling with our poor farmers & doing what they have been doing for centuries. Ploughing fields, milking cows, fetching water from wells, kneading dough, making chapatis with desi ghee And eating, drinking and living with them. In fact this, exactly, is what is happening in Rajastan  where farmers are only too happy to have foreigners   as their guests. Of course this craze has boosted their income!

Equity vs Gambling vs Facebook !

Whoever is engaged in Equity Trading,  most often faces  the question which is remotely connected to Gambling. Equity Trading (short term ) is , of course , related to  Gambling since the Luck factor plays a very important role. It is said that only informed brokers & their clients make a kill out of such transactions.. Hence , if Facebook decides to operate a Gambling session -what difference will it make ?

Prize for best comment on Facebook ?

Does  Comments on  Facebook really serve any purpose ? It might probably boost someone's ego or maybe his pride. It might even serve the purpose of consoling oneself that there is a friend who share his feelings. Another purpose of such Comments maybe purely  for its  commercial usage or gain. Whatever maybe the reason -but it might become a Pride for someone whose Comment gets a recognition. Maybe the BEST COMMENT PRIZE !!  Wonder if Facebook already has !!!

American Ship-John Jay 1794 !

Will be interesting to know the Captain's name in the American ship John Jay, which probably sailed towards India around 1794. Owners probably were Ives,Browns & Benson. Who was the captain Olney or Samuel ?

A Philosopher's Stone !

The greatest difference between man and animal is that man can dream. It is through dreams that he could bring  his hopes and desires to splendid realization. Henceforth he could always venture into new life and with his indo- mitable spirit fulfill the vision he has perceived.  Every human being possess a Philosopher's Stone (the creative mind) which, if used with proper knowledge & guidance, could turn   ordinary stones into gold !!
