Proud to be an Indian - ISRO launches IRNSS

PC: http://www.gps.gov/

India is going to launch  IRNSS-1D, the fourth Indian regional navigation satellite on  March 9.

IRNSS (Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System) is going to be India’s own Global Positioning System.

Approximately Rs. 1,400-crore has been spent on it   It can do what a U.S. military system can do and much better than that at a local level.

It will help the sat-nav team of ISRO to explore more of GPS in subcontinent.

Four satellites out of the constellation of seven are said to be the minimum the scientists need to check out signals and accuracy.

S.K. Shivakumar, Director of ISRO Satellite Centre in Bengaluru, told The Hindu that IRNSS-1D would finetune the details being provided by its earlier three siblings. The next three navigation satellites, he said, would take this to the targeted precision levels and make it easy to pinpoint required positions for many users. (http://www.thehindu.com/)

They will use the PSLV launcher to put IRNSS-1D in the orbit on February 28 at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The first IRNSS-1A was launched in July 2013.

How Rupee evolved

PC: Wikipedia

The history of the rupees traces back to 6th century BC.

Ancient India was the earliest issuers of coins in the world, along with the Chinese wen and Lydian staters.

The word rūpiya is deived from a Sanskrit word rūpa, which means "wrought silver, a coin of silver".

Another meaning being "shapely", with a more specific meaning of "stamped, impressed", whence "coin".

It is derived from the noun rūpa "shape, likeness, image".

The word rūpa is being further identified as having sprung from the Dravidian.

There is no evidence of transmission to Indo-Aryan from Dravidian and textual evidence dates to well before any references in the later Dravidian.

Arthashastra, written by Chanakya, prime minister to the first Maurya emperor Chandragupta Maurya (340-290 BCE), mentions silver coins as rupyarupa, other types including gold coins (Suvarnarupa), copper coins ( Tamararupa) and lead coins (Sisarupa) are mentioned.

Rupa means form or shape, example, Rupyarupa, Rupya - wrought silver, rupa - form.

Sher Shah Suri, during his five year rule from 1540 to 1545, set up a new civic and military administration and issued a coin of silver, weighing 178 grains, which was termed the Rupiya.

The silver coin remained in use during the Mughal period, Maratha era as well as in British India.

Among the earliest issues of paper rupees include the Bank of Hindostan (1770–1832), the General Bank of Bengal and Bihar (1773–75), established by Warren Hastings, and the Bengal Bank (1784–91).

The Indian rupee was a silver-based currency during much of the 19th century, which had severe consequences on the standard value of the currency, as stronger economies were on the gold standard.

During British rule, and the first decade of independence, the rupee was subdivided into 16 annas. Each anna was subdivided into either 4 paisas or 12 pies.

So one rupee was equal to 16 annas, 64 paises of 192 pies.

In 1957, decimalisation occurred and the rupee was divided into 100 naye paise (Hindi/Urdu for new paisas). After a few years, the initial "naye" was dropped.

For many years in the early and mid-20th century, the Indian rupee was the official currency in several areas that were controlled by the British and governed from India.

Areas such as East Africa, Southern Arabia and the Persian Gulf also has rupee as their currency.

Kakki Sattai Review

     This time our marina hero turns into action hero in cop saga.  Siva karthikeyan join hands with Sri divya once again after blockbuster Varuthapadatha valibarsangam for this mass masala entertainer.  Emana annachi and Iilaya thilagam Prabhu are also adds up weightage to the film.

     The movie starts with sivakarthikeyan in kakki uniform entering into the screen wantedly.  As usual the movie comprises of comedy and romance in the first half.  Eman annachi and siva comedy combination worked well in this movie.  Anirud's BGM is topnotch. Last 10 minutes of the first half ends with a fight sequence where you will feel worth paying the money.  Also the hero becomes mass hero here only.

     Second half lags in pace with story on board.  As Haris Jayaraj copies the song, the director copied the yennai arindhaal second half.  Organ theft is the key around which the second half revolves.  Our Protagonist Manimaran (Siva) tried to replace Sathiya Dev IPS but the mannerism comes from Vijay.  No one is there to replace Victor (Arun Vijay) as antagonist.  Some of the comedy dialogues are copied from Santhaanam because of which we can call this movie as mixture masaala.  If you go with your family, then ladies will like ooorvasi's mother sentiment.

     Boys will enjoy SRI DIVYA'S colorful screen presence.  Finally, the movie belongs to once watchable category.  Family audience will enjoy the movie at weekends.

Mark:  2.5/5.

Dedicated to Ajith Fans

            If you like both Ajith Kumar and Trisha Krishnan, then you will like the movie Yennai Arindhaal very much.  It is yet another Goutham Menon’s classy police story even though the movie is not as thrilling enough as Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu.  The movie Yennai Arindhaal should be watched in a theatre where people won’t clap or whistle because the dialogues are most important in the movie.

             Anushka’s introduction song is unnecessary but apart from that her role is significant in the whole movie.

             Trisha Krishnan, the stunning angel has done her role extraordinarily well and we can enjoy the presence of her in the first half.  Goutham must be congratulated for showing Trisha beautiful once again.  Frame by frame you will only gaze at Trisha without any back process running in your mind.

             If you are a girl from the age group 20 to 30 years, then definitely you will gaze and Arun Vijay.  Goutham has to be congratulated for giving Arun Vijay such a wonderful character.  We must appreciate Arun Vijay for his hard work to maintain it physic well and that helped him to score him well.  Apart from his physic and hairstyle, his matured performance in acting is easily visible and he deserves a standing ovation.

             The word gaze must be repeated for the third time because now I’m going to speak about our hero Ajith Kumar.  He comes in three different getups and in all the three he looks awesome.  I will mention only two which will bring a smile and happiness inside you.

Frist is when he encounters the Victor’s boss, he will be with beard and in a grey shirt which is a classy rugged look.  Second is when he was awake the whole night waiting for Arun Vijay, he will be whoring white shirt and gun jacket.  This was the ultimate aura of Ajith in the movie.

            It is one of the typical Goutham Menon’s movie which contains lot many abusing words, wife or lover murder for revenge etc., apart from that I like two things in the movie.  One is the telephonic conversation between Ajith and Arun Vijay which I really enjoyed a lot.  Whenever the conversation between come it was awesome.

          Another is that he has projected a new social issue or otherwise terrible exploitation of human beings in organ stealing.  One mistake what he has done is sending the child to school knowing the risk factor.

            Overall Yennai Arindhaal is a nice movie to watch

UPSC Corner - Government won't repeal Article 370

         

PC: http://www.mapsofworld.com/

          Hours after the BJP sealed its deal with the PDP on government formation in Jammu & Kashmir, the Centre informed the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday that there is no proposal to repeal Article 370 which allows special autonomous status to the State.

          This information was provided to the Upper House by Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary in a written reply to an unstarred question on whether the Government intends to delete Article 370 of the Constitution. “There is currently no such proposal under consideration,” was the Ministry’s reply.

          In its 2014 Lok Sabha election manifesto, the BJP had reiterated its stated position that the party remains committed to the abrogation of Article 370 and would discuss this with all stakeholders. One of the earliest controversies that the Modi Government waded into, in fact, pertained to Article 370. On the day he took charge as Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office in May, Jitendra Singh said the process of abrogating Article 370 had begun and the Government was discussing the issue with several stakeholders in the State. He later retracted his statement when the Government came under attack.

5 Elements for Life

Our body is one of the most sophisticated design made by nature.  It is such that it got self-healing and self-defending mechanism.  In order to assist our body, we need to maintain our body in a healthy condition.

Our body has a separate unit for fighting foreign bodies.  Its function is to stimulate the immune system as the foreign particle enter.  All we need to do is reduce the intake of medication and give time for our body to recover on its own.  When you take the medication, the efficiency of the immune system decreases.

Tonsils have on their surface specialized antigen capture cells called M cells that allow for the uptake of antigens produced by pathogens. These M cells then alert the underlying B cells and T cells in the tonsil that a pathogen is present and an immune response is stimulated. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonsil#Function)

Our body has also a separate unit for healing and repairing the damaged parts.  All we need to do is fetch which required food item (especially protein) so that healing happens properly.  Here also we need to give some time.  To do this we need to follow some simple practice.

Our body has to get energy from 5 different elements of nature.  They are Water, Earth, Fire, Air and Sky.  Acquiring energy from these five elements of nature is not a big deal because this is what we do daily.  After reading this article you will do it knowingly.  When you get these energies on regular basis, your immunity towards sickness and your healing capacity will drastically improve.

        Now let us discusses how to get energy from these 5 elements of nature.  All the mentioned elements of nature are equally powerful and we cannot prioritise them.  So getting energy from all the 5 elements is essential.

Water is instant source of energy.  By water, I mean is here is plain water not hot or cold one.  Water serves two purpose of our human body, one is drinking and another is bathing.

PC: www.villagemagazine.ie/

• By drinking water, we will get energy from vitamins and minerals dissolved in it.  The water we drink also dissolves the harmful wastes from our body and excretes as urine.

• By bathing, we can control and regulate the temperature of the body which will help in efficient working of the internal organs at optimum temperature.

 Earth is the main source of energy that we consume daily.  Food items both vegetable (direct) or meat (indirect) which gives energy are obtained from earth only.  So energy from earth builds us and supply us with power to do work.  When we get food from the earth we need to give attention that we are consuming all 6 type of taste.

PC: www.localrootsfarm.files.wordpress.com

• Sweet – Sugar.
• Salty – Salt.
• Sour – Tamarind.
• Pungent – Chilli.
• Bitter - Bitter guard.
• Astringent - unripe banana.

Consuming all this 6 tastes is essential because all of them are required by the one or the other internal organs we have.

Fire is the energy that we get through the physical activities.  Physical activity is must for us because that will burn out the extra energy consumed by us from any source.  Our body is designed such that consumption and excretion should in optimum level, increase or decrease will lead to disease.

PC: www.nhlbi.nih.gov/

Air, as all we know, is most essential element for supporting our life.  We intake air through breathing.  This supplies us with necessary oxygen that helps in breaking down the food we consume.

Sky supply us lots of energy through sleeping.  Sleeping will remove the tiredness of both our body and mind.

     When we get the energy from all these five sources, we will be healthy for ever.

Cup of coffee - Worth having it

A group of friends visited their old university professor.

Conversation soon turned to complaints about

'STRESS' & 'TENSION' in Life.

Professor offered them Coffee & returned from kitchen with Coffee in different kinds of cups

(Glass Cups, Crystal Cups, Shining Ones, Some Plain Looking, Some Ordinary & Some Expensive Ones.

When all of them had a Cup in Hand,

the professor said:-

"If U noticed-

all the Nice Looking & Expensive Cups are taken up, 

leavng-behind the ordinary ones.

Everyone of U wanted The Best CUPS,

& 

that is the source of Ur STRESS & TENSION.

What U really wanted was 

"Coffee", not the "Cup",

But U still went for the Best Cup.

If Life is Coffee,

Then Jobs, Money, Status etc are the Cups.

They are just TOOLS to hold and contain Life.

Pls Don't Let the CUPS Drive U.

Enjoy the COFFEE..

They give you job to get their work done.

They will give employee benefits to follow the norms.

They will keep the pollution level in control to get ISO certificates

About People:

All the people want a job only to make money.  They need highly paid jobs to get settled soon.  They want to increase their self esteem.  They don't have any concern about the company in person.
