Horse Trading at Capital :((

Yesterday at a press conference, Communists wanna prove their Clean Image by saying Congress and UPA is Horse Trading to get as many as MPs from various parties and Independents. Of the meeting there where talks about 25 Cr + a Ministry was promised per MP... Though they havent disclosed how much they were paid for supporting UPA for past four year :)))))

I am have my own doubts about this horse Trade at capital:

1. If every MP is paid Rs 25 Cr and they need atleast 60 MPs to be comfortable! means 60 X 25 = 1500 Cr.

2. Even If they pay this much totally they can stay at power for only max of 10 to 12 months because tenure completes. Then why do they spend this much amount?

3. Spending this much for the sake of holding power for 10 months is showing how much they can earn out of this 10 months?? It should be more than they spent for sure ??!!

4. From where they get this Funds from?

5. Playing this Trade just for Nuclear Deal means, is somebody really funding for someones benefit?

I am really worried about our Democrac(Z)y !!! I don't see an End for these kind of Trades in the near future.... :((

Save Earth & Save fuel - Tips

Under inflated tyres create more resistance when your car is moving, which means your engine has to work harder, so more fuel is used and more CO2 emissions are produced. Simply check and adjust your tyre pressures regularly and also before long journeys. This will also help to increase the life of your tyres. Remember, a car with a heavier load may need different air pressure in the tyres. Junk in your boot is extra weight your engine has to lug around. By removing it, you could reduce your engine's workload. This will burn less fuel and cut your CO2 emissions so unload any items you won't need for your journey before you set out. Speed limits are the maximum lawful speeds which may be driven in ideal circumstances. Drivers should never exceed the speed limit. Staying at or within the speed limit increases driver safety. It also reduces CO2 emissions and saves money on your fuel costs. At 110 Kmph speed you could be using up to 9% more fuel than at 95kmph and up to 15% more fuel than at 80kmph. Every time you stop then start again in a traffic queue, the engine uses more fuel and therefore produces more CO2. Keep an eye on the traffic ahead and slow down early by gently lifting your foot off the accelerator while keeping the car in gear. In this way, the traffic may have started moving again by the time you approach the vehicle in front, so you can then change gear and be on your way. Revving up like a Formula 1 car in pole position only wastes fuel and increases engine wear. Using your gears wisely by changing up a gear a little earlier can also reduce revs. If you drive a diesel car try changing up a gear when the rev counter reaches 2000rpm. For a petrol car change up at 2500rpm. When the engine is idling you're wasting fuel and adding to CO2 emissions. If you're likely to be at a standstill for more than 3 minutes, simply switch off the engine.

Please follow these tips and tricks to Save Costly Fuel and Save the Earth as well.

Sad Note: Who will instruct these things to our Chennai City Bus Drivers :(

Faith and Attitude

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.
From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?


To this Arthur Ashe replied:
world over -- 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis,
500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals,
when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'.
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?'

"Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing, but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going...
