National Blog Posting Month


Remember National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) back in November? You all used the opportunity to take a swing at churning out a 50,000-word novel on your blogs in only one month — some with great success!

There’s also NaBloPoMo, which has nothing to do with post-modernism, but with blogging! It stands for National Blog Posting Month.

It’s an even more fitting occasion for posting regularly to your blog on the topics that interest you. And maybe the best part is that it starts whenever you want it to! The only objective is to post every day for a month. So why not begin with July? To make it official, sign up here. It’s open to anyone with a blog, anywhere in the world.

The NaBloPoMo team provides a theme for each month, which isn’t mandatory, but is a nice way to gain inspiration that can kick off your daily updates.

Not into that? Then we suggest sticking to the stuff you’ve been blogging about all along — the things you experience and love — with the added caveat of keeping it on the regular.

If you run out of steam, you can always find ways to blog about the dozens of weird celebrations and holidays that take place in July, in addition to Independence Day in the U.S. — like Ice Cream Soda Day, Video Games Day, or Bugs Bunny’s Birthday.

To plug the WordPress community into your endeavor, we suggest using NaBloPoMo09 as a tag on each post you publish to your blog. They’ll show up on the tag results page, which is also a great place to get inspired by your fellow bloggers.

A note: Please refrain from commenting with questions about NaBloPoMo in response to this post. It’s not a WordPress project. Instead, check out their FAQ to learn more about its objectives and requirements.

Happy (daily) blogging!

Time for Rickshaw Puller Community to Get Organized
Related to country: India

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

It is estimated that close to 10 million cycle rickshaws ply on the Indian roads carrying about 55-60 billion passenger-kilometers/year. They provide employment to more than 10 million rickshaw pullers; in fact they are the only means of living for 10 million families. They are very maneuverable, completely non-polluting and hence environmentally friendly means of transport. In the narrow lanes of towns and cities probably they are the only transport system to provide point to point travel.

Currently, 90% of India’s 10 million rickshaw-pullers rent their vehicles and the vehicle owners who generally have a fleet of anywhere between 10 and 1,000 Rickshaws charge them anywhere between INR 30 per day to 50 per day depending upon the city. The cost of the manual Rickshaw is around INR 7,000 (150US$), thus if the Rickshaw puller with a daily earning of around INR 150 -200 (US$ 3-4) can get a loan at 15% per annum, he can easily be a proud Rickshaw owner within a year’s time.
Just imagine the current scenario where a fleet owner is charging such a daily fees paying which one can easily own a Rickshaw in a year’s time. Shocking, isn’t it?

My idea is to systematize the working of all Rickshaw pullers by bringing them under one roof and to modernize the cycle rickshaw pulling sector (which contributes 30% in urban transport) with small but innovative changes.

For the overall Community development we will take the following initiatives-
1) Micro-Finance for the Rickshaw pullers to buy their own Rickshaws and break the circle of poverty.
2) Proper schooling for their children and coaching classes by NSS-PEC student members, so that they can get better education, break the social barrier and can get better jobs.
3) Micro-Finance for the female member of the family, engaging them to community initiatives like pickle making, stitching etc that can be marketed for overall community development and upliftment.
4) Propagating Community Cooking for better food and availability of pure drinking water.
5) Making the families bankable, opening of Joint Savings bank accounts for each family and ensuring adequate insurance coverage for the family.
6) Educating the overall community about the various government benefit schemes and how to avail them.
7) Investing in low-cost sustainable housing model and educating the people about sanitation and cleanliness.

The project intends to cater to all spheres of life, from education to nutritious food and pure drinking water to enough income generating opportunities for overall development of the a particular community that has not acquired a descent status despite of years of drudgery-the Rickshaw pullers. We intend to bring the following technology and grassroot innovations-
Providing low-cost battery operated Rickshaws on finance with innovation like advertisement space, selling of mineral water, juices etc for additional income source.
Forming of self help groups among the female youth that can produce marketable products.
Community cooking initiative for ensuring proper nutritious diet and access to pure drinking water.
Ensuring proper education of kids that will lead to better job opportunity leading to better status in the society.

“Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come”!!

Print to console without using semi colon

I got this question from my friend : “How can one write to console without using semi colon in Java ?”.
I tried many work-arounds . Even Googling did net help much .

I thought i should raise an exception some how thats it some thing will be written on the console., its did not work well.

Then a stupid workaround was to enable the verbose argument , thats it every class loaded in the JVM is traces on console.

The some how i tried real tricks to print my name on console ,

This is what i got,


public class Tek {

public static void main(String a[]){

if ( System.out.append("Teknoturf") instanceof Object ){

}
}
}

You might be wondering , why i did not use System.out.println() . Because it does not return anything , So it can not be compared in if block.

Training Children to think
About this commitment: Talk with kids about things that matter

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Clotaire Rapaille in his book "The Culture Code", says experiences through strong emotions are imprinted in a person till seven years of age. So, children need to be taught good things and also made to experience the good so that they are imprinted in their memories for life.

Thomas A Harris, in his book, "I am OK, You are OK", says that there are three states of Ego in each normal person - Parent(Nurtured), Adult(Inquisitive) and Child(Emotional). If children are made to ask intelligent questions, they are being made to develop their Adult ego, which goes a long way in their lives to solve many problems of self and others. Then,they should be taught to observe good and learn i.e. learn to use parent ego - much needed for knowing people & situations. They should also be encouraged to appreciate humor, feel their emotions,etc so that they learn to use their Child ego also. faulty use of any of these three states renders the person either a tyrant, criminal, or mentally retarded.

Mother implants the seeds of imagination in the child when it is still an embryo.

But Father can be the best of all teachers because having him beside encourages the child to take his steps confidently. The child loves to imitate his father most of the time. So, father should spend more time with children, teaching them the ways of the World, good habits, showing them the world and teaching them how to think. Children trained by their fathers often have become great achievers.

Women workers working without dignity!
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I have seen them everywhere; working -in laying of roads, construction of bridges, buildings, agricultural fields and then inside our Alumina refinery Plant doing technological cleaning jobs, lifting heavy rods, working incessantly. I have had interaction with a few smiling but shy women. I asked them how they managed their families, cook food, look after children, etc. Though I could not understand what they mumbled in return, from their physique it was apparent that they rose before the Sun, cooked the meals for children, spouse & themselves, and walked for work which started for them at 8 A.M.and ended at 5 P.M. Then they would hurry back for becoming the light of their homes.

Their work is admired by the contractors who employ them as they never shirk work or organize strikes. But these women are having a serious problem- they have n't been provided with refreshment rooms. Regular employees make fun of them when they are found attending nature calls by the shade of a tree or beside a huge installation. Fun for one, pain and shame for the other!

The recognized Union people chanced upon me for some suggestions regarding welfare activities inside our factory. the first point I raised was about the women workers and proper toilet rooms for them. The Union people raised this point when they met with our top Management, which promised to look into the matter and take appropriate action.

Most of the affluent have eyes yet are blind, have ears yet are deaf to others suffering; When will people wake up and work for dignity for all. I am rather very selfish in wanting everyone I see to be happy and prosperous and in turn myself feel the anguish at the reality - sorry state of the poor, especially women!

Mirroring my Mind

Despondency - Matthew Arnold

The thoughts that rain their steady glow
Like stars on life's cold sea,
Which others know, or say they know--
They never shone for me.

Thoughts light, like gleams, my spirit's sky,
But they will not remain.
They light me once, they hurry by;
And never come again.

Sims 3: Game Review

This post was originally published on Digimantra

On June 2nd, 2009 EA released the next chapter for one of the most popular gaming series – The Sims. The Sims 3 brings a lot of new stuff to the table, while improves on what was already there. We have a look how.
The pivotal change brought about in the series by The Sims 3 is the opening up of the neighbourhood. Never again will you go claustrophobic looking at the same set of walls every day. There is more to life than being stuck at home isn’t it. Well, that’s what EA decided and delivered a gamers’ delight. Yup! Ten minutes of Sims 3 later you will wonder how you ever played the game without the neighbourhood.
