In a city with over 20 millions' population cannot be judged based on couple of incidents. We have far greater incidents against men in the same city but no one cares to write about them.

Travelling by bus or other public vehicle also helps to control over pollution. Use cars and other small vehicles when you find no alternative.

I relax by staying at home and talking with my family members. I live in joint family. Just have fun with the kids and watch television with all family members.

Sounds good, payment through online transfer is quicker than cheque. You will get amount instantly when you reach minimum threshold.

The idea of 'Like' button was conveyed by admin himself, as far other changes like instant publishing etc, that was based on my discussion with admin. It was the same in case of restarting the cash for points. Now, the site is all ready to pay CC 25/ for each 500 points. Let's hope something more will come in near future.

In Bangalore I have seen car pooling executed in a successful way. Though many of them holding high positions, they are for car pooling. If the members are more there with the same destination , number of taking turns will be decreased.

@usha manohar Yes, I know that and I have clarified my intention. Well, I don't know which moderator has warned me but now, when the doubts are getting cleared then I will definitely abide by the rules.
@suni51 Thanks for the clarification and, what about the question and answer section? May I answer as many questions as I want one after the another?
@sofs Yes, I agree that we all make mistakes, we all must help each other and in the process we all will learn.
You can answer any number of questions but only once.
You can post in any number of forum discussions at the same time but use only one box at a time until someone else has posted in the same discussion.
I hope this clears everything.

Ways of prayer may be different. But the main objective of prayer is neither requesting nor demanding. It's a serene submission to God or whatever people call to express gratitude to the creator.

That is the best description of what prayer really is so far I have come across!
True, they say faith moves mountains and prayer is an extension of that faith and it is different to different people depending on the situation and what their perceptions are .

Prayer cannot be taught and Prayer need not have a procedure like kneeling down and joining hands. Just closing the eyes not get distracted. And prayer can be done in any place except a noisy place

The beauty of prayer is that nobody can teach others how to pray or what to pray. It just happens. It comes from within; and the communion takes place in a transcendental level. The famous short story “The Three Hermits” by Leo Tolstoy is a classic example that reminds me of the sanctity of prayer, where the bishop who tried to teach the hermits how to pray finally realized that prayer cannot be taught, but should come from the heart.

Rulers are of course horrible when it comes to India and anything related to India.But I have had many tourists both Indians and foreigners telling me that even the major cities like Islamabad , Karachi,Lahore,Peshawar , Faislabad etc are much cleaner than our cities ..

Some people use car or bike to show their status. Some use car or bike to travel even small distance. It is time to change our mentality. Either we should share the vehicle or use bicycle to go to places nearby. If possible just walk as walking is good for health.
Vehicle sharing or car pooling is done in most cities where 4 or 5 people living in nearby areas get together and travel by one car, they take turns , each one driving for a week or a certain number of days. Many major IT companies provide vehicles for pick up and drop which also reduces vehicular emission.

Please give me the links where moderators have given you those hints, thank you in advance!
While responding to my own thread pertaining to Instant approval to the articles, you said all the changes will take place after the up gradation of the site. In addition to this big exercise of changing the look of this site and adding new features like " Likes", i understand that the site is on its way for many sweeping changes. Of course this is my guess.
If I took it in a wrong way, I may please be pardoned.
