Drunken Driving

It’s very unfortunate that so many incidents of drunken driving, which results in serious casualties are taking, place frequently.




I’m sure this would continue to happen despite efforts from the government in sending the message through bill boards etc as after a couple of drinks, the youngsters think they are George Bush to some extent.

I have a simple suggestion to make. The people who love to have their drinks should.

a) Leave their cars behind when they know they are going to a wild party and cab it out when returning.

b) Ensure they have a sober friend who would be driving and dropping them home.

A drunken driver is a potential murderer as he cannot perform his tasks without risks and endangers road safety. Drunken driving an illegal act should be governed by stern laws which entail not only levying hefty fines or revocation of license, but also prosecution, same as a criminal offense. Usually, driver escape from the scene as the public gets involved in getting the injured hospitalized rather than snitch the drunken driver and teaching him a lesson.

Drugs Raid an Eye Wash

A drug, broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function.There is no single, precise definition, as there are different meanings in drug control law, government regulations, medicine, and colloquial usage.


In pharmacology, a drug is “a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being.Drugs may be prescribed for a limited duration, or on a regular basis for chronic disorders.

The cops are just trying to put up an act by catching the kids and letting the big fish go Scot free. Drugs are available freely and the cop knows it best. I agree that consuming drugs is a crime and the guilty (the youngsters caught) need to be punished.


But its common knowledge that drugs enter the city with the help of the cops in most cases due to the high level of corruption and due to the huge amount of money involved in drugs.

Terrorism: India’s Unending War

While we understand the inefficiency of the politicians, it’s high time to question the change of system.

It is a given fact that the voting system has failed miserably. There is no point in sacking politicians and replacing them with more incompetent politicians. Approximately 90% politicians are hopeless with only handful good ones like P Chidambaram, Manmohan Singh and a few others.

Therefore it would make lot of sense to have the military rule for the time being till terrorism is tackled. The politicians were always shamelessly selfish and would continue to be. There is no point in having faith in them. Its high time we do away with them at least for now.

Trust




Trust in women went out of the window
When my first girl friend walked away
Then had so many girlfriends in a row
But still cant help disbelieving what women say?

When its so difficult to trust..
Fall in love but only if you must


I doubted all my girls
Never gave them the benefit of doubt
Spoiled so many good relations
Out and out and out!

When its so difficult to trust..
Fall in love but only if you must


I’m still at the cross roads
Still I fall in love though I’m married
I still doubt the girls
With whom I get carried

When its so difficult to trust..
Fall in love but only if you must


Its time to hang the boots
And be a loner
Coz there is no point in carrying on
And be a goner

When its so difficult to trust..
Fall in love but only if you must

Wife Battering


Why do women opt to put up with wife battering?

Few reasons:

a) They are not financially independent. Therefore they have no choice as they depend on their husband for their next meal.
b) They are not aware of the laws prevalent with regard to the issue
c) They worry about their kid’s future without their husband.
d) In some cases the wife may be educated, employed, still she would not opt out as she is used to certain luxuries like a holiday abroad annually, car, etc
e) Some wives may not opt out as in an Indian society its difficult to settle down again as people look down on separated women unless she is rich or a celebrity.



Few precautions for married women:

a) It’s a must be financially independent. And this is not only to take care from wife beating but also in case of uncertainties like husbands premature death etc
b) Be aware of the rules by talking to a lawyer friend
f) If they have to worry about their kids future, then they must realize that by living in such a disturbed environment the kid would be more affected than by living with a single parent
c) Be practical while taking the decision and rely on reasons like luxuries
d) Please do not care what the world might say as it’s your life at stake and only you should be responsible for your decision. This looking good factor in front of the world cost many of us to suffer just to please the world .

Molestation: The Reasons Behind

In my opinion following are the various factors why such incidents occur:



1) Women have become successful in their own fields
2) Women bosses are very common these days
3) Women have become fiercely financially independent
4) Men are frustrated and jealous because of the above points
5) The ugly side of men come out in such situations


The above points coupled with the fact that promiscuity is on the rise these days add flavour. The men then under situations wherein the women are skimpily dressed and intoxicated take advantage and other men who would not have the guts to do do also join in the fun.

The molestation can be compared for the sake of analogy with public lynching when a car accident take place. Most of the crowd are persons who are frustrated as they are not rich enough to own a car. And they remove the frustration on well off men who own cars and have committed an accident.

Principles of Adult Learning

Definition of Learning: learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior that is the result of experience.

Adult Learning : Adult learning is the practice of teaching and educating adults. This often happens in the workplace through extensions and continuing education in secondary schools, universities etc. This practice is often referred as “Training & Development” It is also referred as “Andragogy”.

Various Modes Of Learning

Characteristics of a adult learner : 

1) Educating adults differs from educating children’s in several ways. One of the most important difference is that adults have accumulated knowledge and experience that can add or under the learning experience. Another difference is that the most adult education is voluntary therefore the participants are highly motivated.

2) Adults frequently apply their knowledge in practical fashion to learn effectively. They must have a reasonable expectation that the knowledge gained will help hem for future goals.
Example: The proliferation of computer training course which was introduced in 90’s in which adults who were working in companies had to enroll the themselves as to be updated thus the course would teach the basic computer operation.

3) Adults have accumulated life experiences. They tend to favor practical learning activities that enable them to draw on their prior skills and knowledge. They are realistic and have insights about what is likely to work and what is not.
4) Adults have established opinions, values and beliefs which have been built up over time and assumed at following experiences of families, relationships, work community etc thus their views cannot be dismissed but respected.

5) Adults are intrinsically motivated learners They are motivated by the relevance of the material to be addressed and learn better when it is related to their own needs and interests. For learner to be fully engaged in learning their attention must be carefully focused on material presented.


6) Individual differences: Adults learn at various rates and in different ways according to their intellectual capacities, educational level, personality, cognitive learning, learning styles.

7) Adults learn but in a democratic, participatory and collaborative environment. They need to actively involved in what to learn and how to learn.

The Unfortunate Sex Life of an Apple

The apple tree was perhaps the earliest tree to be cultivated,and its fruits have been improved through selection over thousands of years.
A really interesting story of an Apple one that has survived through the centuries due to the humble application of selective breeding by diligent humans.


The humble Apple almost seems like a miracle of nature. Colorful , nutritious, and much cherished by children . It has a favored position in the planet’s fruit bowls. The proverb “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”, addressing the health effects of the fruit, dates from the 19Th century Wales.Research suggests that apples may reduce the risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. Compared to many other fruits and vegetables, apples contain relatively low amounts of vitamin C, but are a rich source of other antioxidant compounds. The fiber content, while less than in most other fruits, helps regulate bowel movements and may thus reduce the risk of colon cancer.
Apples appear in many religious traditions, often as a mystical or forbidden fruit. One of the problems identifying apples in religion, mythology and folktales is that the word “apple” was used as a generic term for all (foreign) fruit, other than berries, but including nuts, as late as the 17Th century. For instance, in Greek mythology, the Greek hero Heracles, as a part of his Twelve Labours, was required to travel to the Garden of the Hesperus and pick the golden apples off the Tree of Life growing at its center.
In Germany, during medieval times, a man who ate an apple that was steeped in the perspiration of the woman he loved was very likely to succeed in the relationship.Throughout history, apples have symbolized pleasure, love, and fertility.Of course, all of this does not prove that the sin of Adam and Eve had anything to do with sex. But it is a strong indication that many interpreters throughout history did believe their sin was a sexual transgression.
Its cheerful appearance hides a fatal flaw— one that threatens its proud place in the grocery basket. The apple's problem can be summed up in a single word: sex.


How to Generate Traffic on Your Website

My traffic-building strategy isn’t based on tricks or techniques that will go out of style. It’s mainly about providing genuine value and letting word of mouth do the rest. Sadly, this makes me something of a contrarian today, since I happen to disagree with much of what I’ve seen written about traffic-building elsewhere. I do virtually no marketing for this site at all. My visitors do it for me, not because I trick them into doing it but simply because they want to.




Is your content worthy of being read by millions of people? Remember that the purpose of content is to provide value to others. Do you provide genuine value, and is it the best you’re capable of providing?



When I sit down to write, I sometimes imagine myself standing on an outdoor concert stage before an audience of a million people. Then I ask myself, “What shall I say to this audience of fellow human beings?” If a million people each spend five minutes on this site, that’s nearly 10 person-years total. I do my best to make my writing worthy of this differential. I don’t always succeed, but this is the mindset that helps me create strong content.

Think about the effect you want your writing to have on people. Since I write about personal growth, I want my writing to change people for the better. I want to expand people’s thinking, to raise their consciousness, and to help them eliminate fear from their lives. If my writing doesn’t change people’s thinking, actions, or awareness, then my value isn’t being transferred well enough.


Building a high-traffic website can be very challenging if you’ve never done it before. These tips really only scratch the surface of what you need to know to succeed. Since writing this article, I found an alternative suggestion for those who find it difficult to build substantial traffic and income online.

Time Management for College Students

College days are great fun, especially for those students who are able to make the most of their college days through effective time management. Today, one of the major challenges encountered by a college student is time management. While some students focus merely on their studies, there are others who are only into sports. This is primarily due to their inability to manage time efficiently. We all know that time once lost cannot be recreated. Our inability to manage time properly leaves us with regrets in the years to come, which is why a college student needs to learn the art of time management during the initial years itself.
Unlike the schooling days, parents won’t take the pain to wake you up every morning. After all, there is no immediate punishment for missing a lecture or two. In fact, professors may not even be aware about your presence. While you will enjoy your newborn freedom, chances are that you might regret some of your decisions that may be a result of your newborn freedom. While the key to effective time management is to be your own boss, it should not be at the expense of losing fruitful opportunities or procrastinating important things in life. One should be accountable for their own acts, rather than relying on their teachers and parents. This can be achieved by learning the art of time management.
Students should schedule their time wisely by prioritizing important tasks so that they are completed in a timely fashion. One of the best ways to manage time effectively is to maintain a journal, which includes a list of activities to be performed day in and day out. Students must not only list their daily schedules in the journal, but they should also list their long term goals in the journal along with the due dates. One should make it a habit to list down important appointments, assignments and other tasks. One must religiously work on the listed tasks in accordance to their importance. Students can also add a visual along with the due dates to strengthen their mental ability to fulfill the commitment.
Setting one’s time 10 minutes ahead of the actual time is a proven trick that has worked for truckloads of people out there to attend important events on time. This trick works until the brain gets used to the trick. Students are also advised to use their extra time wisely. This is one of the keys that can help a person accomplish multiple tasks in a particular day, which would otherwise appear seemingly impossible. For instance, one can jolt down topics for the essay or work on their budget, if one has arrived in the class early. Making use of the extra time constructively will leave you with some additional free time, which can be spent for socializing without the need to sacrifice other important activities.
 Students should not refrain from taking help, whenever they feel the need to do so. In fact, there are loads of students out there who end up wasting lots of time on activities that can be easily accomplished by taking a little help from friends, tutors or professors. What these students fail to realize is that most professors and friends are more than willing to lend a helping hand to them. It’s just a matter of asking them, rather than figuring out things on their own that might kill several hours, which could have been used for other fruitful activities.
Having a flexible schedule always helps. Students should give themselves some extra time to cope up with unwanted distractions and interruptions that may potentially make way into one’s life. One should include recreational activities in their schedule to ensure that they don’t lead a boring college life. College days are meant to be the golden days of one’s life. One must make the most of it by planning things wisely. An ideal schedule should include time for study, recreational activities and work (if any).
The fact that there’s always a tomorrow, one shouldn’t worry about not being able to manage endless numbers of things in a given day. With proper planning one can always make up for the lost opportunities or at least ensure that those mistakes are not repeated. Even experts encounter certain odd days, where they miss out on their whole schedule. Students must review their schedules at the end of each week to see what things worked for them and what didn’t work for them, so that they can accordingly plan their next week’s schedule.
The fact that there are only 24 hours in a day, students must necessarily practice the art of time management to ensure that they make the most of the 24 hours. It’s a proven fact that students who are able to manage time effectively not only perform well academically, but they are also able to squeeze some quality time for social life and other recreational activities. Not to forget the fact that they are less prone to stress as opposed to those students who do not take any efforts to understand the importance of time management.
