Young Indians Saving Jallikattu

Young Indians Saving Jallikattu

Supreme Court had banned conducting jallikattu in 2014 and further struck down the Act passed by the State government. The protestors upheld banners and posters and raised slogans against PETA, demanding government to act on their demands.

The importance of resuming the sport, after it was banned by a 2014 Supreme Court order there is no similarity between the Spanish sport of bull fighting and jallikattu. In Spanish sport of bull fighting the bulls were harmed and killed in the sport festival in Spain but the bulls are treated like gods in Tamil Nadu.

jallikattu is about taming the bull and not causing any physical harm by breaking its horns or other part.

Air Marshal Arjan Singh, the only officer of the Indian Air Force to be promoted to five-star rank, paying tribute to Dr APJ Abdul Kalam – “The Missile Man of India”. I believe there can’t be a picture better than this which describes the true model of secularism this country deserves.

The Indian nation of more than 80% Hindus bows down in respect looking at an Indian Sikh offering his salute to an Indian Muslim. Dirty politics divided India in the name of religion and cast but this great son of Indian soil tied us together.

we salute you sir.

Rest In peace Dr APJ Abdul Kalam

 

How Tsunami warning withdrawn after Massive earthquake struck IndonesiaHow Tsunami warning withdrawn after Massive earthquake struck Indonesia

All countries including India has finally withdrawn the tsunami warning that was reported earlier. It was reported around 28 countries issued tsunami warning earlier.  National Disaster Management Authority Vice President Sashidhar Reddy told that there is no specific threat. There is no likelihood of any tsunami in the Indian Ocean region.

Why there is no Tsunami in 2012 but in 2004?

Tsunami 2004

Tsunami 2004

Reason: In case of 2004, tsunami is caused due to vertical displacement plates or large body movement. In 2012, There is no tsunami after Major Earthquake struck Indonesia because of horizontal displacement plates or large body movement.

Tsunami occurs due to Vertical Displacement Plates

How Tsunami is caused due to Earthquakes?

TsunamiOcean

Tsunami Ocean Effect

Tsunami are caused by the abrupt vertical displacement of a large volume of a body of water, usually from natural sources of kinetic energy. These forces produce a wave that shifts not just a few meters of surface water, but the entire column of water from the floor to the surface.

Tsunami contain enormous amounts of energy. Earthquakes that cause tsunami often occur offshore at tectonic plate subduction zones.

As the sea floor snaps up in response to the tectonic plate movement and subsequent earthquake, the tsunami wave is formed and moves out from the source of the displacement.

The wave increases in height as it enters more shallow waters close to land.

In CM Felicitation Function The Actor Ajith Kumar simply stunned the crowds with his speech. Taking everyone by surprise, after thanking the CM for his support of his fraternity, he made a plea and ardent request that art and films must not be mixed with politics. It is Very often most of our actors are threatened by few personalities in film industry to get connected with political issues. Now and then, lots of protests are held by the members in union. I request everyone to let the actors get on with their profession and save them for the best.

Ajith Kumar(thala) got a Standing applause from Super star RajiniKanth for his Speech In CM kalanigar Karunanidhi Fuction and the audience in the gallery were Stunned.

Now Ilaya Thalapathi Vijay has come out in support of Ajith Kumar. The sources reveal that Vijay has reportedly talked to V C Guhanathan for Ajith.

Vijay had apparently said to FEFSI President that Ajith is an open book and he never speaks anything with hidden motives. He always speaks from his heart. The non-issue was blown out of proportion only by media.

Vijay also has requested V C Guhanathan to let the issue go and not take any further actions by FEFSI.

Congress leader E V K S Elangovan has safeguarded the stand of Rajinikanth and Ajith on the issue of actors being forced to attend public functions.

He quoted that the two stars Rajinikanth and Ajith only expressed their wish that their freedom should be protected. So, it is not proper to threaten them and try to create an image that they are against Tamils.

Such threats are against Tamil culture. Besides, they also have a right to freedom of speech. He expressed the hope that the State government would take action against those trying to curb their right to freedom of expression.

India’s largest airport In Delhi will be Ready in March 2010India’s largest airport In Delhi will be Ready in March 2010

The developers claim this will be the sixth largest terminal in the world when it opens. This terminal will be able to handle 27 million next year and capacity would be enhanced to 34 million by 2012. And going by the understanding reached with the government, it should reach 100 million by 2026 the last phase of this construction effort. With 78 aerobridges, of which 71 are already installed, the new terminal will be one of the few in the world to service all aircraft through aerobridges. The terminal building covers an area of about 5 million square feet just the area of its roof accounts for 20 acres.

Once inside the departure hall, there will be six check-in islands with 168 check-in counters. This will be an integrated terminal for both domestic and international flights, which will make it easier for transit passengers. A multi-level car parking facility for 4,300 cars is well on course to be ready by next year. Over 20,000 workers are working round the clock everyday among them 100 foreign nationals working in the planning and construction effort to give wings to one of India’s most ambitious projects. About 82 per cent work is over and its developers the GMR group and Fraport (Frankfurt Airport) are confident the airport will be ready in the next four months.

While the developers have to get the terminal ready by March 2010, it may get operational only by July after all the certifications are in place. Once the new terminal opens, the plan is to keep the current international terminal (T2) as a buffer, which can be used to step up capacity during special occasions like the Commonwealth Games.

Airport Council International, Geneva, is said to have been rating the under construction terminal every quarter. Its marking is 4.2 while the quality standard set by the government requires a minimum of 3.5.

Glorious 20 cricketing years of Sachin TendulkarGlorious 20 cricketing years of Sachin Tendulkar

About Sachin Tendulkar by Cricketing Greats:

Former Australian skipper Steve Waugh paying him the ultimate tribute by calling him the Bradman of our times.

The last time I watched Sachin was last week when he was on his way to a spectacular 175 and once again I felt that I was watching a player who comes but once in a century.

It can be said that he is the Bradman of our times and I do feel privileged to have played a lot of cricket against him.

Australian skipper Ricky Ponting, The number of innings of his I have been able to sit back and watch, I think he is an amazing player. Look at his stats and records and it’s quite incredible for someone to have stayed in the game for 20 years. He has set benchmarks for guys like me to chase him and get as close as we can. If I had to last 20 years, I would probably be batting in a wheelchair.

Former West Indies captain and batting legend Vivian Richards said there are few better role models in modern cricket than Tendulkar. when he is full flow, the mild-mannered boyish cricketer can look extremely intimidating. If there is a resonance, I find of myself in his batting, it is in that intent that he communicates. Sachin was a more committed individual. He was more consistent in his commitment to the team. Sachin is also the more disciplined cricketer.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Saturday described the Mumbai maestro as the greatest batsman of his generation.

First I want to congratulate him on completing 20 years in international cricket which is phenomenal. Starting at the age of 16 and going on to play for 20 years with this intensity is unbelievable.

Probably Sachin is the best batsman I have seen. He just amazes me. He just keeps going on and on. We hope he carries on some more years.
