Like everybody else I too can remember every little incident that made an impact on me, one obviously cannot remember day today events. In fact I doubt if people can remember what one did a month ago on a particular day unless there was some special event or something unusual happened that made an impact on your mind .

Besides the time factor and expenses , we still do not have proper outlets in smaller cities for Visa application for all countries .You have to either go to the state capital or the larger city or depend on agents , which further adds on to the delay.

Yes if one wants to extend a visit or go at very short notice then visa free countries are helpful. Getting visa does take time and costs.

Visiting places that are off the beaten track has advantages - you don't find them over crowded , you can shop and get the best deals for your stay. Not many European countries let you travel without a valid visa and if you want to travel quickly, Visa can become a block since it normally takes one week to 2 weeks to procure one after application is submitted ...
Georgia is one country in Europe which was part of the USSR , which is also VISA free for Indian Passport holders ..Georgia is one of the most ancient countries of Europe, has many medieval palaces and other attractions as well..

Yes I do agree elections are like business now. People start the party and sell the tickets and purchase the votes of the best rates. Politians even sell their party also.

Now more than ever, people and planners realized the importance of water conservation. Additionally depletion of ground water levels also made the planners ponder. More and more efforts are being directed by the planners to link the rivers. Presently linking of rivers of South India is on the cards.

Elections are an unrecognised form of industrial ventures run by families or group of persons. So to create liquidity they have to sell the right of their logo during election time. The one who buys it is in fact entering into a business venture by investing a high price which he naturally wants to recoup later on. This is the franchise model. When parties collaborate than it is the Joint Venture model. When they go all alone it is 100% manufacturing model. Smaller parties do business by import or export of members. Voters are the market place where these operations take place under the watchful eyes of the Election Commission. Any problems?

Oh... Quite an impressive array of different kinds of business models. I could get an insight into this, hitherto unknown to me.

True. Yoga is not the only way to boost memory. Once you suggested Acronym way of memorizing suits all. Personally I preferred Yoga and reaping the fruits of strong memory. A question of choice and suitability.

I agree Vijay. Awareness in the user can reduce the addiction and sales of such products can help. Blanket banning creates more addiction.

Water is going to be a precious resource both for human, agriculture and industrial consumption. Any method by which water availability can be ensured will have to be explored including river interlinking.

There is a temple in Punjab where devotees as an act of thanksgiving for getting a visa donate planes of all sizes except of course a real plane.

Meditation and yoga are not for increasing retention power of the brain. I also remember almost everything from the age of 3-4 onwards and are miles away from both. Let us not praise yoga sky high for no rhyme or reason and do a disservice to it. My two 90+ relatives have excellent memories but have some physical problems and both have never done yoga.
