Navagraha keerthanais
I do not know, how far this helps, but my wife sincerely hears these songs everyday, in this order. First the Navagraha sthothram and then the respective Graha's song on the respective day. She says she is adding Raahu and Kethu on the days attached with the Lord of the day according to her horoscope. For example, Raahu or Kethu is with Chandran in her horoscope she hears the respected song also on Monday. I do not know whether it gives any benefit, but I am finding her very happy and peaceful and does this systematically. If you believe, why don't you try, since this is in sanskrit and it can be heard by anybody irrespective of their mother tounge.
Please post your experience and comments

Myths
- Ice water is certainly not thirst quencher though it may provide relief during the summer months. During summer months pot water is the best.
- Jaggery, contrary to what many people think, is not devoid of calories. Though it does have micro nutrients, one must consume it judiciously, because calorie-wise itis as much as you'd find in refined sugar.
- Water melon is summer is soothing, refreshing fruit. You do not catch cold by eating it.
- Curd and Ice cream are perfectly alright to have it in any weather. If only one have allergic condition, it should be avoided.
- Lime with a dash of ice can really perk you up in a warm summer day. It is a fallacy that you catch a cold if you drink it.
- Pulses except chenna and rajma are okay to have even if you have loose motions. When you are having the runs, protein is important. Even plantain is good as it has soluble protein, which is an important binding agent.
- Tomotoes, guava, and fruits with seeds do not cause kidney or bladder stones. There is absolutely no scientific basis to this commonly held view.
- Cucumber is a wonderful summer vegetable. To say cucumber should be avoided in the summer months is not doing justice to this vegetable. It is also low in calories.
- It is important to remember there are no "hot" and "cold" foods according to any scientific classification.

Is India Shining?
Is
I am writing this not against any religion. It is purely looked into from economic point of view.
We had a funny situation in our country during this week. From1
This is because 12th and 13th being Saturday and Sunday, 14th Monday was Dr. Ambedkar’s birthday and hence it was a holiday. We worked only 15th, 16th ,17th and 18th was declared holiday due to Mahavir Jayanthi and 19th and 20th are again Saturday and Sunday.. Those experts in our Governments who talk about man days, have ever calculated how many man days we are losing on account of these liberal holidays?
According to Indian Government the total percentage of Muslim in
The total number of Christians in
Most of the holidays declared as holidays are being celebrated only for few hours of the day. Who is going to bell the cat? This problem of excessive holidays should be looked into as loss of man days/power, than religious sentiments.
Is not India shining
| Instead they prefer India due to booming employment prospects |
“It is well known that graduates from IIT, popularly known as IITians, have historically preferred to move to the U.S. or other countries to pursue higher studies and explore more attractive career opportunities. However, preferences have changed during the last few years,” says a recent study conducted by a leading global research and analytics’ firm, Evalueserve.
Prepared after a survey of 677 IITians, the study points out that among IITians, who graduated between 1964 and 2001, 35 per cent moved to countries other than India, while 65 per cent preferred to stay back. However, among IITians who graduated in 2002 and later, only 16 per cent went abroad, while 84 per cent remained in India. “Recent graduates also believe India will be the most promising geography for IIT graduates in 10 years,” it says.
According to the study, among IITians, who graduated during 1964 and 2001, 60 per cent believed that when they were graduating, the U.S. and other developed countries provided better opportunities, while the remaining said it was India which provided job prospects. However, among those who passed out of the IITs between 2002 and 2008, this number dropped to 51 per cent who believed that developed countries would provide them better opportunities.
Interestingly, the point of “inflexion” arrives with the graduating class of 2002, where these changing trends became more pronounced. This correlates with the growth of India’s economy, the study points out. It also notes that better academic opportunity was the primary reason among IITians for choosing the U.S. over India.
However, there were other reasons too that resulted in IITians not going to the U.S. — stringent visa norms after the 9/11 terrorist incident, high cost of living, limited scholarships, high tuition fees, and the perception of reduced employment opportunities and a poorer life in the U.S.—, the study says.
While the reasons behind IITians preferring to stay back included their desire to be closer to their homes, culture, and family; limited number of “significantly attractive” job offers overseas; and substantial increase in job opportunities and improved standard of living in India; and significant entrepreneurial opportunities in India.
Interestingly, when asked “10 years down the line, which geography do you think will hold the most promise for success?”, 72 per cent IITians chose India, with only 17 per cent opting for the US, 5 per cent for Europe and 2 per cent for China, the study adds.
The Evalueserve study also points out that IITians are also expanding their career choices beyond the traditional engineering and technology opportunities.
“There has been a noticeable shift towards consulting and financial services as well as continued interest in entrepreneurial aspirations. This shift is related to the buoyant Indian economy, a surging Indian stock market, and the increased earnings potential in these areas,” it adds.
