Usha, the problem is, no matter what we do or how we hard we try to keep things clean, ultimately we have to have support and an active interest from the admin, which unfortunately, I have to admit is completely lacking. Our moderator bonuses have been stopped for a long time now and without any kind of notice or word, even then we did not question it but kept working as always. But the indifference and inactivity on admin's part is putting us off.

suni51 liked the topic Is there any hope for some changes here .
Last week there was some expectancy with regard to changes in the functioning and rules of the forum. But now with Sunil's post about having resigned from his posts as moderator and editor and even the other moderators probably not being able to do anything much , one very much wonders what exactly is going on here ? Does'nt the admin want positive changes that would help the forum and its members ? or is there some other issue that I and other members are not aware of ?

Money and greed for more money is the cause of degradation for many. Murdering unknown people for money is bad enough but killing own parents or children is an evil that is on rise. A horrific incident that happened in Pune two days ago in which a young lady who was pregnant was befriended by a couple of women on the pretext of helping her claiming they were Anganwadi sevikas. These ladies gained her trust and when she finally delivered the baby, they told her they would help her get some kind of government compensation and also polio and other vaccines for the baby. They took her along with her baby to one these women's home, killed her and kidnapped the baby which was just 25 days old.They were trying to sell the baby when they were finally arrested! I totally lost my appetite and my sleep since then!
This is pathetic. Actually, such an act is unimaginative for the people who are not evil minded but for evil minds it's quite natural. Life is miserable now with such people around us. No one knows when one may become a victim of such evil trap.

Yes it is optional.Some people are habitual of opposing all things. For some peoples it is program of political party. Yoga is for better health of all humans. Today I read that Muslims are also supporting Yoga. They said that we can speak Allaha in place of OM. I think noting wrong in it.
Yoga has nothing to do with religion. Modi said,Yoga is not a religious practice, but a science for better mental health. UN Secretary General Ban Ki moon said, Yoga is must for harmony, Country's largest border guarding force BSF will soon send a 1900 personnel-strong contingent to advanced training in Yoga exercises and skills by Ramdev at his facility in Haradwar.
Only and only problem with yoga, that it is associated with Hindu and Hidutav, just like Ayurveda.
Why should its association with Hindu and Hinduism be termed as a "problem"?
How can one relate health related activities or nature to religion, Yoga is as doing some exercises, and ayurveda is treating diseases by natural products. So religion has nothing to do with yoga or ayurveda.
You are right but we can do when some person is seeing only saffron in each thing. It is saying that Sawan Ke Andey Ko Hra Hi Hra Dikhta Hai. At present BJP is rulling party so some person can only see saffron.

You are right both are capable person but situation which India was facing at the time of Independence, Patel may be proved better than Nehru.

I wonder why Maverick has not bothered to revive the site because there is a lot of potential in this site and if proper care is taken and some incentives introduced like the article writing competition etc I am sure it will attract a lot more older and newer members as well. As it is there are not many Indian forums that pay for both articles and discussions .
What I am reading here disappointing me. At present it is only site for writing and discussion. EK closed and My lot is not paying good amount. We all writing here about out problems. If adm. have any problem than they must be write here.

I for one don't see any reason for harboring optimism on this count given to the woe-begone state of affairs of this site.It may have seen its best days! I am yet to figure out as to who runs its affairs, who is its owner and what are his or her motives or objectives and more importantly credentattitude!!rlier whenever I used to intervene pointing out the soft underbelly of the site a senior would always rush to defend the administration!
The administration possibly has done all and everything to kill interest of members actively demotivating them! My sympathies are with those members whose dedicated and tireless efforts have enabled the owner to taste success of advertisement revenues these days. Very condemnable and deplorable attitude

Came across this quote from Albert Einstein - "Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value."
Charles Darwin - "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."
I guess success is not about making money or gaining power or perfection but also about survivial !
I really like both the quotes, it is so important and hard at the same time to stick to your values in the pursuit of success because success earned the hard way is the one that stays longer and also helps one to survive through thick and the thin.
Absolutely Kalyani, I like to hear success stories of common everyday people rather than the rich and famous and celebrity figures..The small time success stories touch your heart because of the hard work and dedication that has gone into it..
