Bad Pitch - Light Problem - What is happening with India?

What is happening with India nowadays? Lights of Eden Gardens, Kolkata are suddenly getting dim and close to off while the cricket match is going on. Thank God the match was not called off that day.

Again, the pitch of the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground, New Delhi is being declared unfit after the match is half way on. The match got called off.

What is all this happening with India? Is this a conspiracy to demean India's image? What do you say friends?

Made up story of Raja and Rani over gtalk

Last day one of my good friend SC and I were chatting over gtalk and all of a sudden I wrote: -

My friend SC wrote: -

Thus we created a story. I wonder this is how the stories of the modern day Saas Bahu Serials are created otherwise it difficult to believe how the dead characters of these soaps come alive after some days, again they die and again they come alive.

Charulata - Star Jalsa - New Serial - Payal

Kolkata, 3rd December, 2009: Keeping pace with viewers’ expectations, STAR Jalsha, the No 1 Bengali General Entertainment Channel spices up its prime time offering with the television adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore’s classic ‘Noshto Nirh’ called ‘Charulata’. Premièring on Dec 7, Mon-Fri at 9.30 pm, Charulata on STAR Jalsha will present the tale of ‘Charulata’, as modern day housewife as against Tagore’s 19th century protagonist, making it more contemporary and relevant.

• Watch live Star Jalsha Kolkata Bangle TV Channel Online >
  

Charulata, the character almost synonymous with the novel, remains the protagonist in STAR Jalsha’s adaptation of the tale. She is a 23 year old, educated, beautiful & modern woman hailing from a well to do family, who, unlike other girls of her age & time, does not wish to focus on her prospective career and rather chooses to get married & settle down with Rudra who is an IIM graduate and pursuing a high-flying career of an investment banker. In Charulata, he sees a great wife who will make his parents proud and whom he can present to the world. Also Charulata finds in Rudra, a handsome young man who can give her a married life she has dreamt of. But what lurks behind this apparently happy, picture-perfect marriage is the undying loneliness of a modern day housewife.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Yubaraj Bhatatcharya, Creative Director, STAR Jalsha said, “Noshto Nirh, a literary piece in early 19th century, is a story that people will relate to even today. Though Charulata’s character became iconic with Tagore’s Noshto Nirh, the 21st century adaptation on STAR Jalsha aims to take it to greater heights.”
Directed by Srijit Roy & produced by Spell Binder Production, Charulata captures the hidden loneliness of urban housewives who live a forlorn life behind the shadows of husbands’ high-paying job, domestic chores, social commitments and doting in-laws.

Payal will be play ‘Charulata’ and the character of Rudro will be played by Rapul. Charulata will also showcase an assortment of fine actors like June Maria, Pijush Ganguly, Nandini Ghoshal, Soumitra Basu.

To know more, tune in to STAR Jalsha from 7th December’09, Monday to Friday at 9.30pm

Why is the winter chill setting in early this year in Kolkata?

Why is the winter chill setting in early this year in Kolkata?

This is simply because there is low levels of pollution in the sky of Kolkata this year. The Government of West Bengal had been quite instrumental in pulling off old buses and old auto rickshaws (more than 15 years old) from the roads of Kolkata which used to run in kaata-tel (burnt oil) and thus increase the levels of pollution vastly. They have also been successful in converting the oil run auto rickshaws to green auto (Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) run autos). They have also increased new volvo buses that cause less pollution and are fuel efficient.

Thus due to the constant efforts of our West Bengal Government and other authorities the levels of pollution could be reduced to a large extent. So this made pollution levels come down. So the suspended particles (that used to trap the heat every year inside the city sky) was not present this year. Special thanks to Mr. Subhas Dutta for creating awareness among the people of Kolkata about the rising levels of pollution. Thus the heat escaped this year and as a result the winter chill set in early this year in Kolkata.

New JNNURM Volvo Buses - Kolkata

After coming back to my town Kolkata from Bangalore on the month of June, 2009, I had written about the Red Coloured Vajra Buses that ply on Bangalore streets from Bangalore International Airport to different parts of the city. At last the West Bengal Government has been instrumental in launching similar buses in Kolkata under the funds from JNNURM ( Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission) Trust. (see the picture below)

New JNNURM Volvo Buses (more pictures to arrive soon)

New JNNURM Volvo Buses that have been launched at Kolkata (on 19th September 2009) are Volvo buses but they charge the same Rs 4, Rs 6, Rs 7 and Rs 8 from travellers. They are a signature of comfortable travelling at the least cost in the World. Such Volvo buses are the answers to the Minibuses and the White Coloured Mini buses that ply on Kolkata which are very uncomfortable. They had only one door and 15-16 passengers were enough to make the buses jampacked. These buses were dark, dirty and very uncomfortable. The blue public buses and the government buses though dirty were much better when it comes to spacious interiors.

While in comparison these Volvo buses are more neat and tidy, spacious, airy, with first-aid boxes, comfortable sitting arrangement. I just loved the progressive way West Bengal Government has launched them with progressive mindset and my salute to Mr. Ranjit Kundu the Honourable Transport Minister of West Bengal to have given the green signal for plying such comfortable buses at the same rate which is quite cheap compared to the same buses in other cities of India. I have heard form sources that more 1000 such buses are going to be launched in the streets of Kolkata in the coming months. Love Live Mr. Ranjit Kundu Sir and West Bengal Government. We are always with you.

Hanuman Chalisa - Lyrics & Download Link

Hindi Lyrics

Shri guru charan saroj raj nij mane mukure sudhaari

Varnao raghuvar vimal jasu jo daayaku phal chaari

Budhi hin tanu janike sumirau pavan kumaram

Bal budhi vidya dehu mohe harahu kalesavikaar

Jai hanuman gyan gun saagar

Jai kapis tihun lok ujaagar

Ram doot atulit bal dhaama

Anjani-putra pavan sut naama

Mahavir vikram bajrangi

Kumati nivaar sumati ke sangi

Kanchan varan viraaj subesa

Kaanan kundal kunchit kesaa

Haath vajra aur dhuvaje viraaje

Kandhe moonj janehu saaje

Shankar suvan kesri nandan

Tej prataap maha jag vandan

Vidyavaan guni ati chaatur

Raam kaaj karibe ko aatur

Prabhu charitra sunibe ko rasiya

Raam lakhan sita man basiya

Sukshma roop dhari siyahi dikhaava

Vikat roop dhari lanka jalaava

Bhima roop dhari asur sanghaare

Ramachandra ke kaaj sanvaare

Laaye sanjivan lakhan jiyaaye

Shri raghuvir harashi ur laaye

Raghupati kinhi bahut badhaayi

Tum mam priye bharat-hi sam bhaai

Sahas badan tumharo yash gaave

As kahi shripati kanth lagaave

Sankadik brahmadi muneesa

Naarad saarad sahit aheesa

Yam kuber digpal jahan te

Kavi kovid kahi sake kahan te

Tum upkaar sugreevahin keenha

Ram milaay rajpad deenha

Tumharo mantra vibheeshan maana

Lankeshwar bhay sub jag jaana

Yug sahastra jo jan par bhaanu

Leelyo tahi madhur phal jaanu

Prabhu mudrika meli mukh maahee

Jaladhi langhi gaye achraj naahee

Durgaam kaaj jagat ke jete

Sugam anugraha tumhre tete

Ram dware tum rakhvaare

Hoat na agya binu paisare

Sub sukh lahai tumhari sarna

Tum rakshak kaahu ko darna

Aapan tej samhaaro aapai

Teenhon lok haank te kanpai

Bhoot pisaach nikat nahin aavai

Mahaavir jab naam sunavai

Naase rog harai sab peera

Japat nirantar hanumant beera

Sankat se hanuman chudavai

Mann karam vachan dyan jo lavai

Sab par raam tapasvee raaja

Tinke kaaj sakal tum saaja

Aur manorath jo koi lavai

Sohi amit jeevan phal pavai

Charon yug partap tumhaara

Saadhu sant ke tum rakhwaare

Asur nikandan ram dulhaare

Ashta sidhi nav nidhi ke dhaata

Tumhare bhajan raam ko pavai

Janam janam ke dukh bisravai

Jai jai jai hanuman gosahin

Kripa karahu gurudev ki nyahin

Jo sat baar paath kare koyi

Chutehi bandhi maha sukh hoyi

Jo yah padhe hanuman chalisa

Hoye siddhi sakhi gaureesa

Tulsidaas sada hari chera

Keejai das hrdaye mein dera

Pavantnai sankat harana mangal murti roopa

Ram lakhan sita sahita hrdaye basahu sur bhoopa

World's Top Economies - A Market Research

Emerging economies are smaller than the developed countries – but they are growing faster and opening up, leading to greater investment opportunities than ever before.

There are two methods of GDP calculation: nominal GDP attempts to compare countries using current exchange rates to give an assessment of their clout within the global market. Purchasing Power Parity or PPP GDP, on the other hand, tries to take into account that one dollar can buy more in some countries and less in others. It is a better gauge of the internal size of each market.

In the nominal GDP method, we can see that the developed world leads the pack, but that China has already broken into this exclusive club.

When we look at PPP GDP, China, India, Brazil and Russia are all within the top 10.

Here is the Top 10, as listed by PPP GDP:

Ranking	Country	Approximate GDP- Purchasing Power Parity
1	United States of America	$13,860,000,000,000
2	China	$7,043,000,000,000
3	Japan	$4,305,000,000,000
4	India	$2,965,000,000,000
5	Germany	$2,833,000,000,000
6	United Kingdom	$2,147,000,000,000
7	Russia	$2,076,000,000,000
8	France	$2,067,000,000,000
9	Brazil	$1,838,000,000,000
10	Italy	$1,800,000,000,000

This map from the CIA World Factbook will help to illustrate the differences between calculating world GDP figures on a PPP or nominal basis.


For an analysis on nominal GDP comparisons read our article on World GDP.

A sectoral analysis of country GDP allows us to understand the paradigm shift now occurring within most world economies. Growth patterns generally show a shift from agriculture to manufacturing and ultimately to the services sector.

The following table shows the percentage of GDP contributed by each sector in the top ten economies of the world:

Country	Contribution of Services Sector in GDP (estimated for 2007)	Contribution of Industrial Sector in GDP	Contribution of Agricultural Sector in GDP
United States of America	78.5%	20.6%	0.9%
China	39.5%	49.5%	11%
Japan	73.3%	25.2%	1.5%
India	55%	28.4%	16.6%
Germany	69.5%	26.9%	0.9%
United Kingdom	75.5%	23.6%	0.9%
Russia	56.3%	39.1%	4.6%
France	77.3%	20.7%	2%
Brazil	64%	30.8%	5.1%
Italy	69.3%	32%	5%

The growth rate of these economies is also an important factor, and is directly related to the overall development of a specific economy. Group of Seven Countries such as the United States, France, Italy and the United Kingdom all typically have smaller growth rates – usually in the region of about 2% per annum.

By contrast, emerging economies such as India and China have growth rates of around 8% to 11%, while the ‘new’ emerging economies may experience even more blistering growth rates. Developed countries have already reached a saturation point, and thus expand less than emerging economies, where possibilities and opportunities are ripe, investors are ready to take risks, and consumers are demanding more goods and services than ever before.
