New Air Tankers For India

       

           Indian Air Force ordered 6 new Air Tankers for mid-air re-fueling. Air Bus(Europe) won the contract over Illyushin(Russia). Boeing(USA) and Lockheed Martin(USA) left the bid early at 2010.

Actually Illyushin was at the top of the bid due to its lowest bid price but, officials selected Air Bus due to its low maintenance and fueling costs.

           Indian Air Force(IAF) is already operating six IL-78 tankers for mid-air re-fueling and intends to buy new 12 ones. Only six ones are ordered now and remaining six to be ordered later. Either a new bid will be started or the remaining six will also be ordered to the winner of the current bid, that is the Air Bus.

Italian sailors escape

    Italian high commissioner should be jailed if Italian sailors fail to return to India before the deadline of march 22 given by the supreme court of India. They have fooled us once but don't let them do it again. Travel ban to Italian high commissioner Manchini should not be removed. They have killed our brothers and don't let them slip away. They should be punished according to our law. 

      My brothers and sisters don't  forget the fact that, this is not a new phenomenon to us. When the world's largest industrial accident occurred, that is when Bhopal gas tragedy occurred, the chairman of Union Carbide Factory escaped from India. After effects of that tragedy still continues today. Until now, we have failed to bring him in front of our law and justice and punish him. He is still leading a happy life abroad.

     Don't let history to repeat again. Somehow those italian criminals should be brought back to India. Italian high commissioner is our only way left. Don't let him away. Think!

Apple Patents Smart Shoes

         Apple preparing for patenting Smart Shoes. Smart Shoes are equipped with sensors, which sense wear of the shoes and warn the user via Wi-Fi when time for new kicks. Patent claims that, "as the shoe wears out, the support provided by the shoe decreases. When support provided by the shoe decreases to a significant level or when the shoe wears out to a significant level, it may not be visible clearly. But the sensors sense the reduction in support and warns the user via Wi-Fi". 

Air Pollution; 7/10 for China

          Air-pollution in China is increasing lightning fast, just like their GDP. Asian Development Bank along with Tsinghua University recently released "National Environmental Analysis", which reported that among the top 10 most air-polluted cities in the world, 7 of them are in China. They are Taiyuan, Beijing, Urumqi, Lanzhou, Chongqing, Jinan and Shijiazhuang. NY times reported that the air-quality monitoring device on top of United States Embassy in Beijing had recorded the highest levels. Last year, about 700 flights were cancelled due to smog and low visibility. Reports suggests that hospitals in cities like Beijing, Jinan, Shijiazhuang,  Nanning etc are flooding with patients.
      This is not only happening in China, but all over the world. Nature has already started warning us about the danger! Still we are ignoring them. Due to financial as well as technical reasons, developing countries will not be willing to respond to such situations efficiently. So in my opinion, the developed countries should go green first and thus become a model for others. That's the only way we can save our "Home".

Energy drinks and Health problems

energy drink, a ticking time bomb

            People world wide have raised questions on ingredients of energy drinks, such as amount of caffeine and their influence. Many health problems and fatalities have been reported world wide in relation with their usage. Investigations are initiated on such cases. Many brands have responded to such cases by saying that, these products are not meant to be used as beverages. They claim that they don't advertise these products as a regular drink nor as a beverage. But now its sure that energy drinks are not good for our health. So guyz, BEWARE! Have this in mind whenever you wish to have one.

Delhi Gang Rape

a poster from a protester

         A 23 year old paramedical student was gang raped and tortured in a moving bus in Delhi by 6 f**king a** h***s. Protests are raging through out the country. Only four of them are arrested and police is searching for the remaining two. The picture above, is from a protest in Delhi. Now, the girl is under medical treatment and is in a critical stage. The accused, deserves the maximum punishment for committing this crime. But they should not be killed quickly. They should suffer to the maximum, before dying. My opinion is to cut off all four limbs along with their d**k from their body and then allow them to live for a few years. It would be an everlasting reminder/warning for committing such brutal activities.

Indian Inflation and Price Hike

No way to live here! Inflation has affected Indian economy severely. Price for every commodity is sky rocketing. Price for necessary commodities like rice, wheat, etc are already very high now. Don't know what will happen to them as Christmas closes. One liter of Petrol/Gasoline cost more that 70 Indian Rupees and one liter Diesel cost about 50 Indian Rupees. In Kerala, the situation is even worse. Kerala depend other states like Tamil Nadu, Andhra etc for commodities like rice, vegetables etc. They are transported 100s of Kilometers everyday to reach Kerala Market. Thus, Oil prices affect Kerala Market seriously. Actually, income to almost every family is not enough to survive today's challenges. Anyway, lets hope for the best.
