FYI..........
Hello,
I would like to share some information about e-Tax Refund
Yesterday, I could find an email in my yahoo inbox from Income Tax Department of India – Tax Refund. I was just surprised to see this email asking for my bank accounts & Card details with ATM PIN.
For your Information, the intimation emails cannot be sent from any of government websites to any particular person. Later, I could find this email was Fake & the source of this email was from outside INDIA.

To me,it is a surprise to see that IIT Madras receives patent for drug FOSEAL it is stated to be very useful for kidney diseases. Earlier treatment using aluminum hydroxide and calcium carbonate is already banned. It is gel-like drug
and there is no metal involved.
It was a project between doctors and engineers initiated by IIT-M. Last week ,the Government of India has not approved to start medical courses (MMBS) in IITs.
I feel the Govt. of India should allow IITs to start UG medical courses ,since it will avoid
to go to medical college for research assistance.

Here's a piece that I'd written for my law school student mag...
Has anybody made the connection between genes and the principal-agent problem? Richard Dawkins wrote a whole book about how we are but machines to reproduce genes, and in Genome, Matt Ridley quotes Bill Hamilton saying that the genome is like “a company boardroom”. But I haven’t ever seen the analogy being made explicit, so I’ll go ahead and do it right now.
The way to think of your genes is as principals, and yourself as the agent. Their objective is to make copies of themselves. To accomplish this, they create you as a vehicle to make more of themselves. So far, the analogy is genes=shareholders, you=management, and genes increasing their presence=return on investment.
What’s missing? Incentive alignment! In the corporate world, this is done through executive compensation, and will theoretically work best with stock options. How do our genes make sure that we’re keen and eager to achieve their objectives? A whole bunch of things that make the process of gene propagation enjoyable – making sex fun, making babies look cute, so on and so forth.
It is not the end-result of our genes getting propagated, but the actions we take to do so that make us happy (1). The purpose of sex is not to have babies, but to have orgasms (2). So when you have the orgasms without the babies, you get to act like the CEOs who give themselves executive jets while shafting the shareholders and driving down the share price. It’s an awesome life.
You might feel a sense of responsibility, and be tempted to propagate your genes keeping in mind all that they have done for you. Resist the temptation! Whatever they have done is for their selfish ends. The fact is, your genes are bastards. They don’t care about you. Some of them are actively trying to make you suffer a painful and agonising death. Yet others are trying to make other people suffer painful and agonising deaths, and as such are responsible for the ills of society. So if the selfish little buggers are too stupid to align incentives properly and they make it possible for you to get the benefits without delivering results – for example, by having sex with contraceptives, cooing over other peoples babies, or even puppies instead of babies – then they’re only getting what they deserve. Go ahead and behave like a 1980s American conglomerate vice-president – you know you want to.
(1): This is remarkably Bhagavad-Gita-ish. Honestly, you could see the Bhagavad Gita too as an exploration of the principal-agent problem, with Krishna as the principal and Arjun as the agent. After trying to align incentives for seventeen chapters, Krishna finally reveals his vishwaroopam and tells Arjun clearly who the principal is, who the agent is, what the objective is, and that Arjun had better get cracking. You know, I should get down to reading Gurcharan Das’s The Difficulty of Being Good.
(2): Or as Laurensolivius would put it: “Orgasms! Orgasms! We want orgasms!”

Aaron Ramsey the Gunners midfielder injured with a broken leg. The stoke city player Shawcross was red card'd but I dont really think he could have done anything. The tackle was agressive but these things I guess happen in a football field. we just have to see how many months if not years Ramsey's going to take to come back from this.
Arsenal went on to win the game against stoke to secure 3 more points and close the gap to ManUnited.
Chelsea meanwhile suffered a crushing defeat against city means its a three way battle for the title.
now that top 3 positions are almost settled the fourth and last spot for the next years champions leagues is heating up nicely between city, liverpool , tottenham and Villa.
This years premier league is once again set to be a tight finish I just hope its not ManU this time too.

Yes, even 30 years back, some people saved his baby's stem cells from thoppul kodi's small piece kept in a tiny golden box and held with black rope (arana kayar), looped around baby's hip.
The golden box is called "Nakasu", gold smith (Gold shops) knows about that.
Mostly in the purana kalam Indians were able to know or invented a lot.
Now we can say all things are discovery.

Ganesha Subramanya
Ganesha and Subramanya had a race as to who could go round the world faster. Subramanya immediately jumps on his peacock, which is the fastest thing in the world, and instructs it to go round the world as fast as possible. He makes it in a reasonable amount of time.
Ganesha thinks different. “It’s a small world”, he reckons, “and my parents will be impressed if I tell them that they are my world”. So he just goes round his parents, and wins the race.
Most companies are like Subramanya. Got a tough deadline? They hire the best peacocks and flog them in order to do a quick job. Great companies are those that follow the Ganesha paradigm – they get a good reason, and take the easy way out!
Brahma
Each minute of Brahma is supposed to last several thousands of human years (I’m not too sure of the exact number). Similarly if someone says “this job should take only a few minutes”, you should quickly understnad that it is a “few minutes” according to Brahma Standard Time. Similarly, you have “I’ll get back to you in a minute” or “I’ll join you in a minute”. All according to Brahma Standard time.
The Hanuman Principle
Only one story here, and I’ll keep it short. Hanuman was asked to bring the Sanjeevini herb which grew on a particular mountain in the Himalayas in order to cure Lakshmana during the Battle of Colombo. The god he is, he decides that it is less effort to carry the whole mountain back than to search for the herb. So he carries the whole mountain to Sri Lanka.
As for Hanuman, I have figured out during the last three months (of this job) that it sometimes takes less effort to do more than what is actually asked for! Especially when I research, when my boss asks me to provide research for say 2-3 groups, I find it easier to pull out the data for all groups of items! And do it. Yeah, the boss does have the task of finding the “herb”, but they now have many more herbs, which they would have asked me to fetch anyways.

It was a Sports Stadium.
Eight Children were standing on the track to participate in a running event.
* Ready! * Steady! * Bang !!!
With the sound of Toy pistol,
All eight girls started running.
Hardly had they covered ten to fifteen steps,
when one of the smaller girls slipped and fell down,
Due to bruises and pain she started crying.
When the other seven girls heard the little girl cry they stopped running, stood for a while and turned back.
Seeing the girl on the track they all ran to help.
One among them bent down, picked her up and kissed her gently
And enquired as to how she was..
They then lifted the fallen girl pacifying her.
Two of them held her firmly while all seven joined hands together and walked together towards the winning post........ ..
There was pin drop silence at the spectator's stand.
Officials were shocked.
Slow claps multiplied to thousands as the spectators stood up in appreciation.
Many eyes were filled with tears
And perhaps even God's!
YES.!! This happened in Hyderabad [ INDIA ], recently!
The sport was conducted by
National Institute of Mental Health.
All these special girls had come to participate in this event
They were spastic children.
Yes, they were Mentally Challenged.
What did they teach the WORLD.?
Teamwork.?
Humanity.?
Equality among all.??
Successful people help others who are
slow in learning
So that they are not left far beh ind .
This is really a great message... Spread it.!
We never do this because we have brains !!!!

In India, it is estimated that 20% of population affected by mosquito related fever.
The general diagnosis will be malaria,fileria, dengue,chikkunkunia and lot more.
To avoid mosquito bite, the people all long using various methods, like net, coil, hit spray, allout liquid,odomas cream.
In a closed bedroom with AC or near dining table ,we can find only few mosquitoes left, for that electric bat is found to be very useful.
It works with a chargeable battery and cost around Rs.120. and easy to use throughout our house.
I feel everyone should have a bat at their home to avoid the dangerous fever.

While standing in line waiting rather impatiently for my dinner at Shalini’s reception on Sunday, I was thinking of strategies that one can employ in order to get one’s food quickly in places where there are long lines. I’d faced the same question a couple of weeks back at another friend’s wedding, where again the lines were insanely long. On both occasions, I think I managed to figure out reasonable solutions.
The thing with most guests at functions like these is that they tend to approach the food in linear fashion. They start from one end and go through the whole line taking little bits of everything on the menu. Most people I know, especially from the older generation, don’t go back for a second helping. And so this means that they need to get everything the first time round.
The key to cracking the puzzle is to approach things in a non-linear fashion, as I realized at both functions. Like for example, on Sunday I managed to break down the queue into various sub-queues and with quick mental analysis understood the bottlenecks, and decided my diet for the night based on that.
For example, today I noticed that the main queue was for one table where you got the plates, sweets and some salads. These things had all been arranged around a table which seemed non-intuitive to a lot of people because of which the crowd was heavy. And I realized that just to pick off the plate from the stack and scoot off, I could break the line without being impolite.
Next, analyzing the main course queues, I realized that one main line was at the Chaat counter, and decided to forego it in the interests of getting my food quickly. Again I quickly ran this optimization algorithm in my head which told me that it was best to have rotis (involved a small wait) and curries in the first round and then rice in the second. It worked beautifully, and I had a hearty dinner without ever standing in line!
At the earlier wedding too I had managed to spot and exploit arbitrage opportunities. For example, I realized that people never stood in queues to get second helpings, and that I could peacefully get around the line by taking the plate from the hardly-crowded salad counter and then going to the main line looking like I was going for second helpings.
And if you find yourself at a buffet which has lots of oldies, I really pity you.

An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, you're an engineer - You're in the wrong place."
Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day God calls Satan up on the phone and says with a sneer,"So, how's it going down there in hell?"
Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."
God replies, "What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake - he should never have gotten down there. Send him back up."
Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him."
God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue!"
Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are you going to get a lawyer?"
*this was in my friend's post.
