It is reported very prominently that the Chennai floods were to a large context caused by apathy of officials in opening the waterways for evacuation.

people resist any thing that is made compulsory. Encouraging people to vote is better policy. In fact the per cent of voters is on the rise every election.

vijay replied to the topic Birth anniversary of Bollywood star Dharmendra.
Dharmendra was a very handsome and physically well built actor who always was a pleasure to watch on the screen. Today also he has retained his physical charm. He famously once said that it is safe to be No 2 as everyone is busy dislodging the No 1. May he live long a happy life,

So we should vote for NGO's and not for political parties next time.

vijay replied to the topic Lesser known facts of Indian history - Shivaji Maharaj was indeed the greatest of all!.
Before the advent of Islam the hundreds of Hindu kingdoms were used to fighting between themselves and did not feel alienated as the victorious king also was a Hindu. After Muslim invasions these mini kingdoms were easy targets for them. Complacent Hindu kings perhaps did not keep abreast with changes in West Asia and paid the price for it for the next 900 years, In between a Shivaji or a Prithviraj or a Ran Pratap, all great warriors offered resistance and as rightly stated by @MGSingh became our heroes in absence of real warrior heroes.

In modern management certain amount of conflict is permitted or induced in relationships to bring out the solving capabilities in the officers and colleagues and enable them to face various adverse situations organizations can face.

In developing countries like India people want knowledge to earn bread and butter and submit themselves to irrational beliefs. Yes if it does not affect any one it is Ok, especially when almost the whole society is homogeneous in this regard.

vijay replied to the topic Even and Odd Numbers of the vehicles.
Many years back it was reported that in most of the industrial projects, the cost of equipment needed to control emissions causing pollution is around 5-10% of the project cost. Due to less awareness, lower pollution levels, the industrialists would not incur the cost to install pollution abatement equipment. Pollution boards were set up and usually the Chairman would be a politician or a pliable retired bureaucrat whose job was to keep the industry safe from vigilant and NGO groups and the parties in power would be adequately compensated. I speak from first hand knowledge and we were aghast at the deliberate disregard for the environment and the citizens. Most of the powerful politicians and retired bureaucrats stay in large houses and feel they are protected even in a polluted environment. I would blame the lack of civic responsibility of our industrialists for causing avoidable pollution in connivance with authorities. Today when the dam has burst solutions are being made in panic conditions. We citizens are also to be blamed because of our legendary tolerance power.

Fasting intermittently allows the body to use fat as it's primary source of energy instead of sugar.. Fasting helps in losing your weight, Intermittent fasting makes you eat lesser calories and optimizes some hormones related to weight control

There seems to be a wish for an ideal opposition party but do we have an ideal ruling part, today or in the past. The affected in politics make noise and the rulers make excuses. The game goes on.

But the Congress party is not the one to know what it's doing. It's carried away by the short time success in Bihar. Challenging the Judicial system is nothing short of digging its own grave.

Alternative methods to curb the Air pollution and other factors that contribute to the deterioration of environment are the need of the hour. I agree with you. But I'm afraid that the decision of the Delhi government in this context was taken in a haste. Kejriwal too said, if the decision causes inconvenience to the people, the Delhi Government is going to withdraw the rule.

The behaviour of Rahul Gandhi and Mrs.Sonia Gandhi shows that the success the Congress Party got in Bihar is misleading them to threaten even the judicial system. They are not above the law and must be ready to shoulder the responsibility if they have made some wrong.

Environmental pollution and industrial development vs vehicles - in case we want development, we need to have industries and for the industries, we need power and mobility. Power, presently available through thermal power generation on the cheap rates, for mobility, we need vehicles to come from our residences to the factory sites and for transportation of the goods too. Power generation and vehicular movement create environmental pollution which is harmful to healthy life. Somewhere we may have to compromise. But we can exercise some controls to reduce the harms. The orders for even and odd numbered vehicles and shutting down the power generaion units might have been taken in that direction but seem to have been taken without much preparation before hand. That is why they did not get appreciation much because they may create some public inconvenience. They must be implemented but in absence of the facilities being provided by them, some alternative arrangements should be made. Better, it could have been arranged in some phases. If we control the vehicle pollution, we may introduce battery operated vehicle or make the public system better. If we need to shut down thermal power generation units, we may arrange solar power or atomic power in their place. Sudden shut downs can enhance public inconveniences.

Of course what better can one expect from a party that has made corruption and sycophancy its agenda ...They would now go on and on about vendetta while one can see that there is reason for doubt regarding the National Herald issue, why not let the courts go on with what is needed to be done. The way they are behaving it looks very suspicious especially the way in which the mother and son are behaving in such a immature manner !

That's exactly the case, there is large gap between factory and other colonies, say 1 km or more but the carbon particles discharged in the process reach to far flung areas. The colonizers should have known the after effects but they did not care neither the shopkeepers took this in account. Now just to make things complicated at the direction of opposite industrial groups or factory labor unions sacked by the management the drama goes on. If the government issued a licence and gave pollution clearance then it's no fault of factory.
