US-Indians Replicate Dandi March!

A group of NRIs, inspired by the historic Dandi March led by Mahatma Gandhi in India's fight for freedom from foreign rule, have organised a 240-mile walk in the US against corruption in India.







Starting at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park, San Diego, California March 12, 'Dandi March II' goes through Los Angeles and ends March 26 at Gandhi Statue, San Francisco. The dates coincide with the dates Gandhi did his historic march in 1930.






Every major city in USA, 10 major cities in India and 8 other countries globally join the movement by organizing supporting events March 26, the organisers said.






Conceived to fight those who seek to plunder and enslave their own country are to push the government to enact Jan Lokpal bill and ratify UNCAC which are designed to free India from the clutches of corruption, and to bring back the hidden money from foreign banks, they said.






'The recent scams involving unimaginably big amounts of money, such as the 2G scam, are well known. It is estimated that more than trillion dollars are stashed away in foreign havens, while 80 percent of Indians earn less than 2$ per day and every second child is malnourished,' the organisers said.






'While this rampant corruption is a cause for serious concern, the good news is that movements against it have arisen all over the country. Dandi March II is the attempt by NRIs to bring together and escalate these movements into a powerful force.'






This effort now has support from the stalwarts in anti-corruption movement and other progressive groups in India such as Lok Satta Party, India Against Corruption, The 5th Pillar (Chennai), Youth For Better India (Hyderabad) Saaku (Bangalore) and Save India From Corruption, the organisers said.






UFO Tracked on Russian Flight Monitors!

Air traffic controllers in Siberia claim to have been buzzed by a high-speed UFO with a female sounding alien speaking to them in an unintelligible cat-like language.







The object had suddenly burst onto flight monitors over the remote Russian diamond capital of Yakutsk, and it was shown flying at a speed of slightly over 6000 mph, and rapidly changing direction.






The UFO was logged at a height of 64, 895 feet above sea level and appeared to interfere with aviation frequencies.






A YouTube footage showed an air traffic controller trying to make contact with the UFO, while a radar showed the UFO moving rapidly through the skies surrounded by planes that were travelling at a much slower pace.






"I kept hearing some female voice, as if a woman was saying mioaw-mioaw all the time," the Daily Mail quoted the air traffic controller as telling the pilot of a passing Aeroflot flight.






The air traffic control monitor automatically designated the UFO as "00000" because it did not have a flight number.






At one point the UFO is shown moving away from Yakutsk at great speed before turning and heading back towards the city. (ANI)

Experience of Kundalini Yoga

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnbzxMsjbIk











BENEFIT OF KUNDALINI






What is Kundalini Yoga?






There are many different types of yoga that are practiced all over the world, and kundalini yoga is one of these types. Basically, kundalini yoga is an ancient form of yoga which has truly only become of popularity in the west as of particularly recently, and which however is continuing to grow in notoriety. In other words, kundalini yoga is a meditative discipline, which comprises of a simple set of techniques which use the mind, senses, and body in order to create a communication between them all.






Kundalini yoga truly focuses on that of the psycho-spiritual growth of a person and as well it concentrates on the body’s potential for maturation and on the psychic centers of the body in order to generate a particularly spiritual power, which is thus known as the kundalini energy. Basically, as with any other form of yoga, kundalini yoga consists of various different positions, and expressive movements, and focuses on taking all of the movements in slow and gradual steps in order to gain the best results.






If you are wondering what to expect in a typical class of this sort, basically there will be a simple warm up in order to get the body going and to stretch the spine and improve flexibility before any actual positions are attempted, and after this there will be a sequence of poses, and then the cool down session.






Basically, this type of yoga is one of the more spiritual out of all the yoga options, and it in fact goes far beyond that of the physical performance of poses with its emphasis being primarily on that of breathing, meditation, and chanting. If you are not into or interested in the more spiritual forms of yoga, then this option is most likely not for you, but if you are, then you will want to try this excellent opportunity out for yourself.






Regardless however of what type of yoga you decide on, you need to remember that the most important thing is the factor of yoga in itself; each and every type of yoga still has the same benefits and advantages, although some slightly more and less than others, but the basic premise is still always the same, and that is to incorporate the mind, body, and spirit into one exercise, and to awaken one’s sense of self and to spiritually enlighten that person while doing so.

Dreaming to be An IAS?

Dreaming To Be an IAS ?







When one pursues a career goal the most important aspect which is involved in it, is choosing the right one.Once you are clear in your mind about the brighter and darker sides of any career, selection of a career would not prove at all difficult. If there is any difficulty it is in the area of execution. To my mind Civil Service as a career should be cinsidered as a goal worth pursuing. Here goes my brief and humble views about the facts and myths around IAS Examination.










The civil services examination is basically a test to choose suitable administrators. It tests the candidate right from the stage when one starts the preparation. One common misconception about the prelims is that it is a test of facts and figures. That was never so and specially now. A candidate should have the right frame of mind and the will power to succeed in the exam. A proper action plan is needed for the preparation itself since he /she will be tested for some essential qualities like power of retention, clarity of concepts, ability to identify the correct alternatives with efficiency and accuracy. All this requires a quick decision making power.

 
With the new pattern, more stress is on language skills and analysis and decision making capacities, so work on these on a consistent basis as these are skills that are developed over years and not just in a few months. It would be advisabble to start focusing on your problem solving and language skills as sooon as you decide to take these exams.
Since the preliminary exam in particular is a test of endurance the candidate needs to prepare himself on the physical as well as mental level. The main constraint is the time one gets to answer questions. On an average one gets around 40 seconds for each question. Added to this time constraint is the fact that the exam is conducted in the month of May which is usually the hottest month all over the country. Most of the centres for the exam do not have proper facilities which adds to the stress. One sure way of dealing with this stress is to count numbers or to take a few deep breaths. Meditation and Yoga also help in dealing with stress to a great extent.
Now we come to the actual preparation for the prelims exam. Since it is a multiple choice question paper, it needs a different preparation and a proper strategy. The first thing a candidate needs to bear in mind is that the examination is designed to evaluate certain qualities like a sharp memory and basic retention power. There are ways to increase one's memory like preparing charts. One gets confused when faced with mind boggling facts and figures. Important facts and figures can be simplified and represented on charts and they can arranged in the form of tables or graphs. Another thing to remember is to make short and brief notes on each topic so that the entire syllabus can be revised a day before the exam. It is better to use diagrams and link words which make it easier to understand difficult concepts. One more technique to help in retaining information is the use of abbreviations. Since the syllabus involves exhaustive information abbreviations help you to remember it better. It is a good method to remember dates, facts and figures in a picture format and to break up complex names and places into smaller and simpler words. The last and the most important technique is doing regular revision. This helps in retaining the maximum information. A separate time slot should be given to doing not only regular but multiple revisions like daily, weekly, monthly etc.


Many candidates make a mistake of overloading themselves with lots of information and end up remembering nothing. One should be able to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information. Since the preliminary exam is an elimination round the candidate should also learn to focus only on the information needed and filter out the rest. It helps to discuss with friends and teachers but the most reliable way is to solve past years question papers. One should also keep abreast with current events and information related to them.
An important thing to remember is that for this exam it is just enough to remember information but to understand the concepts well instead of memorizing facts and figures. The questions asked are of 10+2 level. Therefore emphasis has to be on conceptual clarity. Any concept has to be understood with its origin, merits and de-merits, then it needs to be analysed with other relevant topics and lastly it has to be correlated with the events that have taken place during the year.
The preliminary exam requires candidates who have the acumen and the ability to choose the right option of many given options. This needs a proper method of elimination. It is a good idea to go through previous years and model question papers and solve as many as possible. Taking a mock test of a certain number of G.S. questions and maths and general ability questions would be a good practice and help to pick out the most appropriate option.
Each prelims paper is for two hours but a lot of time is wasted in signing attendance sheets etc, therefore there is a lot of need for effective Time Management not only for the exam but in the preparation as well. It is not enough to know the right answer but it has to be marked correctly on the answer sheet. Speed and Accuracy are important, so solving model question papers on a regular basis would be a great help.
A good presence of mind is needed to eliminate the least appropriate options and arrive at the right one. However beware of negative marking so it is better to mark only sure shot answers than making guesses.
Throughout the preparation for the prelims exam, it is important to remember that any topic or concept should not be studied in isolation. It is better to understand and establish a correlation between related concepts from other subjects and current events and happenings.
Even with all this preparation, it is necessary to have a positive attitude and a great amount of will power to succeed to achieve your goal,that of getting through the civil services examination with flying colors!
Please respond with your valuable comments.

Going Beyond Domestic Mutual Fund

All we have the experience of investing in domestic MFs. Have you thought of investing your money in the units of International Fund.It's worth considering for quite a few reasons.When you park all your investments in domestic MFs lacking in diversity.The result or return of your investments would be country specific and if the economic does well the performance of a fund would be commensurate with that.

Why International fund is so special It is special because it allows to partake of the success achieved off-shore.Although investment opportunities in our country are quite substantial but we should not let go of opportunities which lie outside our shore!So think of giving your portfolio some stability by investing money in developed and emerging economies.Some time back the number of such fund was almost non-existent now we have as many as 24 such funds.

Tax Treatment

It is important to examine the tax implication of your income arising out of income from such funds.In India the domestic MF which allocates 65% of its corpus in domestic equities is exempted from long-term Capital Gains .But it is not so in the case of your income from International Fund.
