Net Neutrality

एक पब्लिक पार्क है जहाँ लोग पांच रूपए फीस देकर अंदर आते हैं और अपने मन मुताबिक जो करना होता है करते हैं , अब अचानक नगर पालिका ये नियम बना दे की पार्क में आकर जॉगिंग करने वालों को एक रूपए एक्स्ट्रा देने होंगे , अपनी गर्लफ्रेंड के साथ आकर बैठने वालों को 2 रूपए एक्स्ट्रा देने होंगे , पार्क में बैठकर कचोरी खाने वाले को तीन रूपए एक्स्ट्रा , वहां बैठकर अनुलोम विलोम करने वाले को चार रूपए एक्स्ट्रा तो सोचिये आपको कैसा लगेगा ?
इंटरनेट भी एक पार्क जैसा ही है , जहाँ आपसे ये कोई नहीं पूछ सकता की आप अंदर जाकर क्या करना चाहेंगे , यही आज़ादी इंटरनेट की सबसे बड़ी शक्ति और USP भी है , अब टेलीकॉम कंपनियों के लालच के चलते TRAI ने एक प्रपोजल जनता के सामने रखा है और लोगों से राय जाननी चाही है जिस प्रपोजल में फेसबुक, ट्विटर , व्हाट्सऐप और दूसरी OTT (ओवर द टॉप ) सर्विसेज के लिए आपको आपके नेट प्लान से एक्स्ट्रा पैसा देना पड़ेगा !! कुछ बातें जो इस सन्दर्भ में समझने के लिए महत्वपूर्ण हैं :-
१. टेलीकॉम कंपनिया सिर्फ डेटा करियर हैं और उन्हें कोई मतलब नहीं होना चाहिए की हम उनसे डेटा के पैसे देने के बाद उस डेटा का क्या इस्तेमाल करें !!
२. आज ये बहस सिर्फ कम्पनियों के मुनाफे और लालच तक सीमित है , जबकि इसके असली आयाम इंटरनेट को रेगुलेट करने के छुपे हुए मकसद तक जाते हैं , कल को आपको टेलीकॉम कम्पनियों की मर्ज़ी पर अपना इंटरनेट उपयोग तय करना होगा, आपकी ब्राउज़िंग हिस्ट्री टेलीकॉम कम्पनियों के हाथों में होगी जोकि इंटरनेट आज़ादी के लिए विनाशकारी होगा !!
३. एक बात ज़रूर है , व्हाट्सऐप के VOIP कॉल जैसी सुविधा से टेलीकॉम कम्पनियों को बहुत भरी घाटा होने का अनुमान है , उनका एसएमस धंधा तो चौपट हो ही चूका है , इसलिए जरूर उन कम्पनियों के हित में कुछ सोचना होगा !!
४. VOIP कॉल देश की सुरक्षा के लिए भी बहुत बड़ा खतरा सिद्ध हो सकते हैं क्योंकि इन्हे ट्रेस करना लगभग असंभव है , इसके अलावा आज हर प्रकार के अपराधों में लगभग सौ फीसदी बार पुलिस अपराधी की लोकेशन उसके द्वारा उपयोग किये गए टावर पर निर्भर होती है और ये पुलिस का सबसे कारगर हथियार सिद्ध हुआ है , अब VOIP कॉल (व्हाट्सऐप ) से आप बिना किसी सिम को एक्टीवेट किये अपने घर के इंटरनेट कनेक्शन से किसी को भी कॉल करें आपको कोई ट्रेस नहीं कर सकता !! ये बहुत भयंकर दुरूपयोग में आ सकने वाला फीचर है जिसपर रेगुलेशन होना चाहिए !!
५. इस बहस का और फ्लिपकार्ट और एयरटेल की डील का सीधा कोई सम्बन्ध नहीं है (कुछ लोग इसे इस बहस में घसीट जरूर रहे हैं ) , यदि कोई टेलीकॉम सर्विस बाजार की प्रतियोगिता में अपने ग्राहकों को बिना डेटा प्लान खरीदे मुफ्त में कोई वेबसाइट इस्तेमाल करने की छूट दे तो इसमें क्या आपत्ति होनी चाहिए ? ये बाजार की प्रतियोगिता का फायदा है जो ग्राहकों को मिलना ही चाहिए !!
और हाँ, सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात याद रखिये , ये सिर्फ एक प्रोपसल है जिसका TRAI की वेबसाइट पर जाकर विरोध दर्ज किया जा सकता है ताकि वह आपके हित में फैसला ले सके , किसी भ्रामक प्रचार में मत पड़िये जो कहता हो की सरकार ने ऐसा कोई निर्णय ले लिया है !!

My name is MONEY

Let me introduce myself ,
My Name Is MONEY!!!...
I have a simple look, my physique is also weak, but I am capable of rearranging the world order.
I am also "capable" of changing the 'Behaviour & even Human Nature' because the humans idolize me. Many people change their personality, betray their friends, sell their bodies, in fact even abandon their religion, for my sake!
I don't understand the difference between the righteous & the depraved, but men use me as a standard for status, deciding whether a person is rich or poor & honorable or lowborn.
I am not Satan, but people often commit trangressions because of me.
I'm also not a third person, but many husbands & wives are separated because of me. Many children & parents are at loggerheads because of me.
It is also obvious that I am not God, but mankind worship me like a God, in fact often times the servants of God are honouring me more than God, whereas u have been advised, don't be slaves to money.
I'm supposed to serve mankind, but mankind instead wants to be my slaves!?
I have never sacrificed myself for anyone, but many people are willing to die for me.
I need to remind, I can only be an instrument of payment for ur prescription drugs, but I cannot extend your life.
If one day u are being called by God, I will not be able to accompany u, let alone to be the redeemer of your sins..., u have to face it yourself with your Creator & then accept His Judgment.
At that time, the Almighty will certainly deal with u & ask u concerning me. But I am asking u this now ARE YOU IN UR LIFETIME USING ME well, or HAVE U MADE me as GOD???

A last information from me:
I will not be THERE IN HEAVEN !!!
Don't look for me there ...o

Teachings that Ravana gave to Laxman on his deathbed

When the demon king Ravana was attacked by Lord Rama and was nearing his death, Rama asked his brother Lakshman to go to him and learn something which no other person except an erudite Brahmin like Ravana could ever teach him.

The story goes that after shooting the fatal arrow on the battlefield of Lanka, Ram told his brother, Lakshman, “Go to Ravana quickly before he dies and request him to share whatever knowledge he can. A brute he may be, but he is also a great scholar”.

At this Ravana said that if you have come to me as a student then you must sit at my feet because teachers must be respected and you want to learn lessons.

Ravana also told Lakshman about politics and statesmanship:

1- Do not be the enemy of your charioteer, your gatekeeper, your cook and your brother, they can harm you anytime.

2- Do not think you are always a winner, even if you are winning all the time.

3- Always trust the minister, who criticises you.

4-Never think your enemy is small or powerless, like I thought about Hanuman

5- Never think you can outsmart the stars, they will bring you what you are destined to

6- Either love or hate God, but both should be immense and strong.

7--A king who is eager to win glory must suppress greed as soon as it lifts its head.

8--A king must welcome the smallest chance to do good to others, without the slightest procrastination.

His ten heads were Kama (lust), Krodha (anger), Moha (delusion), Lobha (greed), Mada (pride), Maatsyasya (envy), Manas (mind), Buddhi (intellect), Chitta (will) and Ahamkara (the ego) -all these ten constitute the ten heads.

Ravana is of all the ten qualities. Such is the wisdom of Ravana, no wonder Ram asked Laxman to learn from him.

Ravana said, he had learnt these lessons through bitter experience. Greed arises from attachment to the senses and catering to them. Put them in their proper place; they are windows for knowledge, not channels of contamination.

World Cooking Time per week

People in India and Ukraine spend just over 13 hours a week cooking, compared to the international average of less than six and a half hours each week, a study revealed on Monday.
They are followed by South Africa, where its citizens, on an average spend nine and a half hours on culinary activities, Indonesia where people spend more than eight hours a week and Italy seven hours a week.
The research, conducted by Germany-based market researcher GfK, said the countries where people spent the least amount of time cooking each week were Brazil (slightly more than five hours), Turkey (slightly less than five hours) and South Korea (less than four hours), possibly due to the popularity of their inexpensive street food carts.
The research was conducted by interviewing over 27,000 people aged 15 and above in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine and the US.
The study further said globally 29 percent of people claim to have great knowledge and experience about food and cooking -- but this was again led by women at 34 percent, compared to just a quarter (25 percent) of men.
"Breaking this down into individual countries, South Africa and India top the list, with around half of people (50 and 48 percent, respectively) agreeing, or agreeing strongly, that this applies to them.
"Also in the top five are Turkey and Ukraine at 40 percent each and Indonesia at 38 percent," the study said.
It further revealed that women spend over seven and a half hours per week for preparing the dishes while men spend five hours a week.
