Rambabu it is not fair that to say that all politicians are power hunger, most of politicians are power hunger. I think no need to say again and again why some one in India join politics. Politics is know not a means of public service it is profession. Shortage of any thing is only for common person, for these high profile every thing is available in enough quantity.

The whole country is reeling with water shortage with some areas so badly hit that they use any water they get for drinking but do our leaders care ? We had a minister get the helipad drenched in Latur, which is one of the worst hit areas. In Karnatalka which is facing severe water shortage, the CM is all ready to welcome IPL, does not matter if they have to waster a few lakh liters of precious water. The ministerial bunglows are kept cool and green by watering the lawn all through the day using sprinklers.
In UP it was Akilesh Yadav who was seen having water strewn on helipad to keep it nice and cool! It is the same with Chandra Babu Naidu the CM of Andhra Pradesh has always been insensitive , be it spending astronomical sum on his personal vehicle or have grandoise plans for a new capital, now insists that helipad be kept watered so that dust does not get into his eyes and AP too is facing terrible water shortage. But do these ministers care? Honestly each one of these insensitive ministers regardless of what party they belong to should be shown the door .

Religion like any other institution has its uses and just because one is not a follower or believer, does not give the right to be judgmental of other peoples beliefs and practices. One may derive the same kind of satisfaction after doing puja that a person derives out of meditation or yoga. So, how can one have any superior views about one's own practices and put down others? It just gooes to show how self centered people are . In fact Aethists and rationalists are some of the most irrational people because they have no tolerance nor do they try to analyse an issue dispassionately and see why such a practice exists . In life what is most important is personal happiness and one can derive it any way one wants as long as it does not harm others..
I think these type of peoples are very few. May one in lacs. People forgot that no one saw God, but it is true that God is with us all time.

Of course Religion is just another business venture for some and when unshakable faith and belief comes into it and people are ready to contribute towards their so called faith, there is no stopping them !

Religion is also used as a means of control and infuence to gather wealth from the gullible believers.

Not everyone is mentally strong and for those who are unable to cope with a difficult situation religion,faith and belief gives strength to cope. This is where upbringing plays a vital role, teaching children to become independent thinkers and strive hard to achieve what they intend to, not giving up easily and developing their self confidence, makes them become less dependent on others..It is only those who have no confidence in their ability that look for outer source and inspiration.

usha manohar answered the question Live Happily or Live Healthier. Which one sounds better?.
Health and Happiness go together..If you are healthy you are happy , so also one is happy only when one is healthy...So, health is more important since without health nothing brings you happiness.

usha manohar replied to the topic Amitabh Bacchan and Ashvrya Rai Bacchan hide their black money.
As for as the latest reports, Amitabh Bachan seems to have had links with at least two of the companies mentioned in Panama Papers. He has had telephonic board meetings and was part of the organisations during the nineties..Whether these are legally relevant will be known only after all the facts come out.

I am listening first time about the time limit. It is right that peoples also don't want that case is decided. Any person, specialy crimenal case, get any decision against him in lower court and he/she submitte appeal in upper court, always wants that case never decided.
There is definitely a time limit which is never followed because no one questions it. Since everyone wants to delay the process it goes on for years together.

usha manohar replied to the topic Criteria for promotions - merit or seniority ?.
There is definitely a change in the attitude of the employers which has become more capitalistic in its preference , more an American concept where the capacity of a person to impress and bring in business becomes the most preferred qualification. But this has its own short comings in the long run. A senior experienced person need not always have old fashioned ideas, he or she may be with the times and know what exactly is needed for the betterment of the company, given a chance ! It is normally youngsters with a few years of experience that get the best of jobs.

vaishnavi took the quiz Know about the Skeletal system.
The three main parts of the skeletal system are the bones, cartilages and the joints. The skeletal system is the base over which the body is bulit. Bone and cartilages are forms of connective tissue, the difference being bone is very tough and rigid but it is not the case with cartilages. Joints provide mobility to the human body. With this introduction, it is time for you tol know ,more about the skeletal system.
