Hi ! I would like to ask why are his detracters so concerned about his popularity? Incidentally I am not a Bhakta of Modi and have criticized him many times. There is an article on Modi in the cans, read it it when it is published in a few days.
There is no sycophancy in BJP but people who have gotten used to that in the party they support , see it everywhere.! However, no leader has been criticised and maligned like Modi has been and one should admire his strength of character to be able to carry on with his agenda no matter what ..

Best or not, as of now there are very few Indian article writing sites that pay both for articles and forum activities... This is probably the onlly site that has been consistently paying its members since it began to function !

Anil, for the time being I think revenue sharing has been stopped...I guess there are not many members very active here , so the admin must have decided to discontinue it ..
But I think enough member is active. If Admin discontinue it than it is disappointing for active members. Admin continue it or increase member of week amount.
I agree. Good number of members are active these days, admin should try to continue with revenue sharing. It will be add in activity for both new and old members.
The new members definitely need some incentives when they sign up and start becoming active, which would bring in more number of members and this would benefit the site .. It will also be good to have article writing competitions , like we had before !

A normal active person needs around 2000 calories per day and unless one is careful with diet it is not possible to lose weight or calories only through exercise. Walking at a brisk pace for 50 minutes burns 200 calories , that combined with dieting can help you lose 300 or 400 calories per day. which means that you can lose one pound in ten days since one pound of weight is between 3500 - 3800 calories depending on the body structure. Losing one kilogram per month is more than enough because if you lose weight too fast you will end up looking haggard and feel tired easily !
To control my weight and high BP I am taking in these one tea spoon dry amala powder in the morning before breakfast. I am feeling some relax.
Yes I can understand that Anil especially since yu are unable to be physically very active. I have heard of amla being good for the system an I am told that adding a pinch of dry ginger powder to Amla too has health benefits !

In two years Modi government's performance here is zero and it shows that Modi is missing his date with history. No, excuse for it.
This is really creditable if Modi has removed such notorious items from BJP agenda. But I have a feeling that BJP is waiting for getting single party two third majority in center and states. Till then they will keep a low profile. Basically, Vajpayee and Modi are not different. Vajayee had just razor thin majority and BJP as a single party had no majority. So he was liberal. Modi appears hardcore as he has some more majority- single party majority.

If I'm having no health problems even now, it's due to my regular Habits and a healthy food habits. I do lot of physical labor and adhere to healthy eating habits. I'm 5 ft 11 inches tall and my weight remained same for the last 10 to 15 years. I go to market every day by walk to fetch daily necessities. In this process, I'm able to burn enough calories.

True..unless and until it is not made expensive people will use such facilities in a cheap manner and keep dirtying them. Recently I saw the photos of the newly inaugurated Gatiman Express as it looked form inside the very next day and it was hard to believe that people could be so dirty and irresponsible. It was a total mess!
Kalyani, we Indians are a dirty lot and things cannot suddenly change overnight.. No matter what measures the concerned authorities bring in, unless people realise that it is meant for them and take pride in maintaining it , not much can be achieved.

I have a feeling that what Modi promises he delivers...the ground realities are bound to be different and it is difficult to put a time frame. I am sure they are working towards it because Kashmir is an emotional issues for all Indians more so for BJP and it's supporters.

Water scarcity is not there in AP now. But Telangana is experiencing severe water scarcity. Additionally, according to Weather reports, both the states of AP and Telangana will have adequate rains.

With the introduction of New Railway reforms, by Suresh Prabhu, the conditions in all the trains are bound to improve. Of course, the reforms are expensive, but over a period, when the Passengers use the Railways,frequently, the ministry might think of reduction in charges.

Despite discontinuation of many revenue making aspects,I found, the the activity here is quite good. I like your suggestion that the amount for Weekly member should be increased. Hope Administrator acts and does the needful.
