Rafael Nadal about Roger Federer

Very true..appreciate the humility of Rafael in admitting the fact!..I feel Roger may lose to anybody but nobody ( at least in contemporary players) can win against Roger Federer.

ENSO warm phase (El Niño) another dangerous global warming effect

Monsoons are late and no rains yet even after monsoon arrival. In countries like India where major % of farmers plan their crop cycle basing on monsoons , effects of ENSO can be very costly especially in monsoon dependent countries like us .Picture explains better than me what ENSOs can cause to various parts of world ( source is search in internet :) - My knowledge is limited though but my concern is rather large)

So all the points in

Good growth ;)

Recent surveys done by few Boston based universities indicate that there is a decay in US and Canadian youth's interest on drugs and overmuch drinking...same there is a considerable increase in girls between age 14-17 for abortion to hospitals in India ( Highest in Mumbai as the number is in thousands and constitutes to nearly 30% of abortions done in last year)... great growth indeed :)...West is learning and is becoming " narrow minded" and India is getting broad minded and civilized ;)..Awesome!

Plantation of non-native trees will not help

As a friend brought it in the mean while discussion, I realized that planting a non-native trees and continuing deforestation / unnecessary landscaping will not help. Like in cases of Utharakhand disasters , native plants are deodars but not shaal trees. Deodars would greatly prevent such and keep the hold tighten on mountain and hills where as shaal trees would not be able to help. Hope Govt listens to these concerns of many who are already working on bringing awareness about this , properly educates all the needed and takes proper measures.

Not only about disaster control but lot more things like life time of those plants, survival of various species which are natives of that land would be interrelated and connected to this factor. Nature designs everything as per climatic conditions there and facilitates a balanced ecological cycle at all places, I believe.


Would not that be a great day to see Indian Govt being really concerned about potential disasters that are going to occur in coming 15-25 years due to all these?

Watched Edge of tomorrow

Watched two movies Edge of tomorrow and Ulava Charu Biryani last week end... Very intelligent script and Brilliant screen play for Edge of tomorrow but may not cater to Indian audience :) ..
First half of Ulava Charu Biryani is good ..A sensible attempt and good enough execution of what ever they thought of making though we may not get connected ...

 Thanks

Finally a temple traced back to Dwapara yuga is being refurbished

In my Schooling days, I have read in some books in library that Arjuna got astras from Indra and from Lord Shiva on the hill in Vijayawada . Hence the hill is named after Indra as " Indra keeladri" and as Arjuna got Vijaya ( Victory) the place became Vijayavatika which later became Vijayawada. After Arjuna got astras and darshan of Lord Shiva and Indra, pandavas built a small temple there as a memory .

I wondered how I could miss that and asked many concerned and finally got to know from some one that the temple still exists and is in top of hills covered by woods and rocks and is not accessible. I always wished that it should be brought to the lime light ..

Finally today some endowment officers sent recommendations to th concerned authorities about  refurbishing the temple and making it accesable and they agreed verbally to sanction 2crores for the same. Happy!

Though small its a cultural heritage of us forbidden for long. We hardly have temples /monuments of thousands of years of age and that is a defnite need to protect such.
