Mobile Phones - The Teenage Obsession.


Teenagers are obsessed with mobile phones and carry them to schools, tution centres and other public places, a study released here Sunday said.
The study, conducted by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham), attributed this to socio-economic factors such as excess pampering by parents, easy access to pocket money, absence of parental monitoring and urbanisation.
The survey "Toy to Tool" found that 88 percent of adolescents aged between 15 and 18 years possess mobile phones. Over 66 percent of them between 16 and 18 years want to carry mobile phones to schools, it said.
The survey, conducted in Mumbai, Goa, Cochin, Chennai, Hyderabad, Indore, Patna, Pune, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Chandigarh and Dehradun, interviewed 2,000 parents and 2,500 students. It observed that many children were using their phones not only for talking but also for sending SMSes and MMSes and chatting.
Assocham secretary general D.S. Rawat said that despite school structures and policies, the ground reality is that more than two-third of teens confessed that they use cell phones inside the school premises when they should not.
The survey states that if the tendency of increased dependence on mobile phones prevails among teenagers, it could develop into their habitual addiction.
Mobile phone handsets are taking centre stage in the lives of metropolitan teenagers, who often send or receive dozens of emails a day while eating, attending school or even taking a bath, highlighted the survey.
The survey said the teenagers who excessively use cell phones are more prone to abnormalities like disrupted sleep, restlessness, stress and fatigue.
The study found that 71 percent of teens want their handsets to be equipped with MP3 gadgets to play music, while 70 percent want camera phones. They use their phones to send emails to their friends, to read books, listen to music and surf the internet.
Over 90 percent of the parents said they bought mobile phones for their children so that their kids indulge in their own world and not disturb them.
"In fact, they are also concerned that their children should not mix with bad company but play with mobile handsets," the survey said.
Parents also find it convenient to contact their kids any time through the mobile phones. However, some of them are not fully aware of the evils of a cell phone and they feel that their children be allowed to use a handset with them.
However, 56 percent of the parents felt that students should not be allowed to carry mobile phones, especially during classroom sessions.
According to the survey, even the telecom operators have launched low priced vouchers starting from Rs.10 as their marketing strategy to attract children who only send and receive messages.
The survey said that around 20 messages were sent by each student per day while 56 percent of teenage girls almost text 50 messages every day.

Longest and darkest total lunar eclipse of century!


The longest and darkest total lunar eclipse of the century will occur tomorrow, giving sky enthusiasts all over the country an opportunity to witness the event.
An unusually long lunar eclipse with the Moon immersed deeply inside the umbral (darker) shadow of the Earth will occur tomorrow, Nehru Planetarium Director N Rathnasree said.
"The total phase of this lunar eclipse will last 100 minutes. The last eclipse to exceed this duration was in July 2000," she said.
The next such eclipse will only take place in 2141.
The total lunar eclipse will begin at 00:52:30 IST and end at 02:32:42 IST. While the partial eclipse will begin at 23:52:56 IST and end at 03:32:15 IST.
The eclipse will be visible completely in Africa and Central Asia. It will be visible rising over South America, Western Africa and Europe, and seen setting over Eastern Asia, and Australia, C B Devgun from Science Popularisation Association of Communicators and Educators (SPACE) said.
The magnitude of the one of the relatively rare total lunar eclipse will be 1.70 magnitude, N Sri Raghunandan Kumar of Planetary Society of India said.
The next lunar eclipse to be viewed in India will be in December this year.
Also, a star named 51 Ophiuchi will be occulted during the eclipse.
Sky enthusiasts can witness the whole sequence of the occultation in the zodiacal constellation of Ophiuchus.
At 11:29 PM tomorrow, the Moon will occult (hide) behind the star 51 Ophiuchi. The star will reappear after 90 minutes at 01:01 AM of June 16.

Dunbar's no, the new yardstick on Facebook, Orkut

You may boast of having an impressive list of friends on social networking sites likeFacebook and Orkut, but a new study suggests that your brain can't handle more than 150 friends.

Researchers, led by Prof Robin Dunbar of atOxford University, have carried out the study and concluded human beings cannot develop close bonds with more than 150 people, the 'Daily Mail' reported.

Indeed, so intense has been Prof Dunbar's research of the magic number that it has earned him a measure of fame. It is now referred to as "Dunbar's Number", a term ironically coined on Facebook among fans of his work.

"There was a discussion by people saying, 'I've got too many friends -- I don't know who half these people are'. Somebody apparently said, 'Look, there's this guy in England who says you can't have more than 150'," Prof Dunbar said.

He has researched societies and businesses around the world and has found that 150 is the optimum group for social cohesion and interaction.

From African and Native American tribes to successful companies, a typical community is about 150 people. The reason 150 is the optimal number for a community comes from our primate ancestors, according to Prof Dunbar.

Dunbar's Number, of course, does face certain modern day complications.

He said: "You grow up somewhere, you go to school on the other side of the country, you get a job, you go to Europe for a bit -- it's much harder for us to keep those relationships working and good when they're that distributed."

As for the workplace, the study has shown that in companies smaller than 500 people "there's a very strong tendency for colleagues also to be your friends".

I love my dog.

Tears drop from my eyes,
Nobody can hear me crying.
Standing still, I watched him go.
He was with me, just a while ago.
Now, I am alone,
Where have you gone?
Memories.
Those beautiful moments have passed away,
when we played together, through out the day.
Once, I had you and you had me;
Now, I have tears and please, let it be.
I Remember,
Your angelic feathers,
Silent talks,
And,
those, so memorable walks.
How?
Those days quickly went by?
Why?
Dark grey clouds have invaded the sky?
How could you leave me?
I don't know.
I plead, Please don't go!
Since whole night, I am crying.
left with no other signs.
Life played so many games,
And you always made them framed.
Now, I am wondering, where is that?
You were my brother, my child..., my friend.
And you know?
I thought and thought,
with my mind, I fought.
I searched everywhere,
it has to be somewhere;
A reason to stop you,
a chance to be with you.
Dear, you are my nearest,
then why did you act like a guest?
Do you know?
I am still standing there, baby;
I am waiting for you here.
Because,
When tears drop from my eyes,
No one else can hear me crying.

My German shepherd. <3

Love

You are peaceful, positive, colorful.
You are my sky & you are the land below.
Need no shadow, they tells the body around.
Wide white silence.
Darkness? Does it exist?
I heard rumors,
Are they true?
Are they really killing?
Serve them mercy.
Do I need to tell,
You are me,
and I am you?

This world may be round,
but for me, it's shape is you.
I don't bind up,
when its the show time.
STOP.
I'm performing,
Where the only art I wholly know,
is to find you in the audience.
Still, do I need to tell,
You are me,
and I am you?

Do I want to feel?
Yes, I want to feel.
Feel, like a bubble,
light and short lived;
Filled entirely with,
only peace & you.
And then lost in love.
Mixed in the river.
And,
hold grip in the mud of a new birth.
To be lost again in you my love.
Still, do I need to tell,
you are me,
and I am you?


No, I don't need to tell you my feelings, I believe you know it all. :)

Daughters rock! Give birth to girls, cut crime

We revere our ‘mothers’, worship
Goddesses Lakshmi, Saraswati,
Parvati, Durga, Kali, claim they
represent wealth, intelligence,
strength and power and then offer
prayers for a boy child, or worse still,
want to abort a girl child!
Absolutely hypocritical and
shocking! The female to male ratio
has just dipped to 914 women to a
1000 men. We are a country that has
had a woman prime minister, a
woman president, we have
witnessed Kalpana Chawla going
into space... and closer to home,
seen women working shoulder to
shoulder with men, excelling in their
fields and being on par as earning
members. Why then, this ridiculous
bias against a girl child being born?
If you give them equal opportunity
and education, they are just a
capable of earning, being strong, self
sufficient, resilient and the bread
winners for the family. Every time I
read about rape, sexual abuse and
molestation it angers me because
men are perpetrators of such crimes,
not women. But gender disparity
ratios anger me doubly because it
denotes a woman ’s consent in
aiding the death of girls.
When you read about deranged,
sexually frustrated men raping and
molesting girls that are just two
years old to women in their 70 ’s it’s
because given dwindling numbers,
that many of these men are unable
to find their own women. If you
want to keep your mothers, wives
and children in a safer world... it lies
with you to keep our society gender
balanced, and to give birth to more
girls.

Messi to play in Kolkata in September

Want to scream "Messi, Messi!" like the rest of the world when his magic unfolds before your eyes? This September, you can do it in Kolkata -- and all for just Rs 1,000. 

Lionel Messi and mates in the colours of Argentina will clash with fellow South Americans Venezuela at the Salt Lake Stadium on September 2 in a FIFA-sanctioned friendly, and the Rs 1000 is the lowest denomination ticket for an event that is sure to cause a stampede in the football-mad city. 

That Messi and Argentina - and yes, Venezuela too -- will indeed be playing in the city was confirmed here on Monday by Celebrity Management Group (CMG), the exclusive licensee of the match. Ending doubts over Messi's Kolkata trip, CMG insisted that according to their contract with the Argentina Football Association, Manchester City star Carlos Tevez will also be accompanying the side, which is likely to be led by Messi's Barcelona teammate Javier Mascherano. 

Following the Kolkata match, the Argentine contingent will fly over to Dhaka to play a friendly against Nigeria on Sept 6. Incidentally, the Nigeria-Argentina game played on June 1 in Abuja has come under FIFA's scanner for alleged fixing. Nigeria won 4-1. 

The ticket prices which range from Rs 1,000 to around Rs 5,000, could come as a culture shock for Kolkata's football fans who have, for years paid not more than Rs 40 to 50 for games between the top clubs Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. Ironically, just across the city at the Eden Gardens, the sports fan has not been averse to paying anything between Rs 400 to Rs 9,000 to watch Kolkata Knight Riders in the T20 IPL. 

Outlining their programme, CMG revealed that they were also planning to sell tickets for Argentina's practice session. 

"We plan to do this at a much cheaper price so that those who can't afford tickets for the match get another chance for a dream date with the Argentina footballers," Bhaswar Goswami of CMG said. 

As things stand now, the Argentina squad is scheduled to arrive in the city on August 30. The match apart, the squad members will be involved in a number of other events, including a clinic with kids and a charity programme, during their four-day sojourn. 

A group of CMG officials will be in Argentina from June 26 to July 7 to chalk out with the AFA the logistics and itinerary for the squad. 

The hurdles over bringing Messi and the rest having been cleared, the organizers are bracing up for another challenge: Doing up the venue worthy of an international match. State sports minister Madan Mitra stressed that work is being done on war footing to make the Salt Lake Stadium worthy of the world's best footballer. 

"Our cause for concern is: Who is coming and where is he coming? It's regrettable to say that Messi will be playing in a stadium which is in a mess. That's how the Salt Lake Stadium is now. Hopefully we will be able to set the house in order, provide basic amenities to the spectators as well as clean up toilets, dressing rooms and other essential areas of the stadium. It's after all a matter of prestige for all of us," Mitra maintained.

RA.ONE! The Indian Superhero Flick

Ra.One (Hindi: रा.वण is an upcoming Hindi science-fiction superhero film directed by Anubhav Sinha. The film, which features Shahrukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal, will be produced under Khan's production company, Red Chillies Entertainment. Originally scheduled to release on June 3 2011, the film was pushed back due to extensive post production work and is now set for release on October 26, 2011. Ra.One's first look was unveiled during the First Quarter Finals of the 2011 Cricket World Cup whilst the theatrical trailer was released three months later.
During an appearance on the chat show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Khan stated that Jackie Chan was "approached for a role in the film". Khan had reportedly sent Chan the detailed script of the film, along with the action sequences and a brief synopsis of his character; it was later confirmed that Chan would not be part of the project.In July 2010, Khan announced that Chinese-American actor Tom Wu would be part of the film.


In September 2010, reports indicated that Khan had signed Hans Zimmer to compose the background score for the film. However in early 2011, the director of the film dismissed it as a rumor. Vishal-Shekhar will work on the background score and Akon would be recording two songs for the film. The singer arrived in India on March 8, 2010 and recorded two songs with Vishal-Shekhar. On May 29, 2011, it was reported that one of the two songs composed by Akon was leaked on the internet.

On March 10, 2011, it was announced that the television broadcasting rights for Ra.One had been sold to Star India for a record sum of Indian Rupee symbol.svg 40 crore, officially surpassing the previous record of 3 Idiots for Indian Rupee symbol.svg 33 crore, to become the highest-sold Bollywood film ever.

Apple iOS 5-powered iPhone 5 – playing catch up or beating Android?

Apple iOS 5 powered iPhone 5 may not be debuting after all at Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) next week, leading people to wonder whether the next generation smart phone will be playing a catch up game or whether it is prowling for the right opportunity to reveal itself and blast its rivals into oblivion.
Steve Jobs will make a rare public appearance at WWDC as the keynote speaker starting June 6 in San Francisco, Calif. Moscone Center. People are wondering what Jobs, who took a medical leave last January, will produce on stage this time. The last time when Jobs made a public appearance in March, he introduced iPad 2.
While rumors suggest that the much-awaited next generation of iPhone (dubbed iPhone 5) may not be unveiled this time, breaking Apple’s three-year trend of introducing a new iPhone every June, Apple announced in a press release Tuesday that they will present iOS 5, the new software platform that will support mobile devices such as iPhones and iPads. The press release also mentioned Mac OS X Lion and iCloud, but no iPhone 5 was mentioned.
This led some analysts to believe that the next iPhone will be focusing on software upgrades rather than major hardware boost.
There are no details on what will be included in iOS 5 yet, but Mac users are hoping for a better navigation system, automatic sync system that runs on background, easier file organizing system, near-field communication (NFC), and some widgets on unlock screen to name a few.
iPhones have been praised for their slick design and usability but their functionality has been criticized, turning frustrated fans to Android OS-based smartphones instead. With these new software improvements, however, will Apple be able to triumph over its rivals?
It is a little skeptical at the moment.
Even with the new iOS 5, people say iPhone 5 will not surpass the capability ofAndroid phone and the likes. Most of the rumored updates on iOS 5 are already available on Android phones, which means the next generation iOS-powered iPhone will simply be playing a catch-up game.
For instance, the turn-to-turn navigation system is not available on iPhone under current operating system unless one downloads a GPS app (usually not free) or jailbreaks. However, this is available for free on Androids.
Also, iPhone users are not allowed to customize the unlock screen the way they want (again, of course, unless one jailbreaks), something which Android users already can do.
If Apple indeed plans on trumping its rivals both on design and function, iOS 5 should include groundbreaking updates.
Otherwise, Apple will have to hope that Steve Jobs' showmanship can convince people that the next generation iPhone is as good as the latest Android phones, if not better

MY NOTHINGNESS!


We often forget about the soul that is, 'I' and 'ME'. By a change from light to darkness or from darkness to light; it is only the soul that can be seen without any difference. Neither any force can defeat it nor the universe. And If I say this live energy is me, I refer it to my god.

Reasons, they all want.
Perfection and accuracy they talk about.
Hard to describe the 'I', in this body;
the soul of my mine is lost in itself.
Its not a pet or some property,
its me, "white pure soul";
like a child crawls laughing out with no teeth,
and like the water flows down knowing the depth of the stream;
I lost in my nothingness.

Car stops with discordant sound,
rubbing it's tires on ground;
The body will stop the same way,
But the clarity of my vision and
of my voice that recites,
your name, will never die.
The sky fill with the clouds,
And they rain down for us.
No fake thing, I've to display;
only red blood to flood away!
Also the lane is too long;
and all I've is;
Innovation on my mind,
imagination right behind;
I'll cover the distance,
And yes, Its a commitment.
In every home and in every land
we'll fly together;
I dream and I pursue,
the course that takes me,
Higher and higher.
I stand and look at peace inside,
it is beautiful and it also dance.
Disappear;
till the only wonder remains for the world to wonder;
I'll be lost in *MY NOTHINGNESS*.

INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE : CSK crush RCB to keep the Crown!


A century partnership between openers Michael Hussey (63, 45b, 3 x 6, 3 x 4) and Murali Vijay (95, 52b, 6 x 6, 4 x 4) followed by off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin’s three-wicket haul, saw the Chennai Super Kings completing a 58- run win against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final of the Indian Premier League, here on Saturday.

The Super Kings, in retaining the trophy, outclassed the Royal Challengers after making 205 for five and then checking the visitors to 147 for eight and cap an eight-match winning streak at home this season.

As well as Vijay and Hussey batted to provide a great launch pad for the Super Kings, it was Ashwin’s dismissal of the two danger batsmen, Chris Gayle (0) and Mayank Agarwal (10) by the third over that turned the tide firmly in favour of the hosts.

Virat Kohli (35 off 32) offered some resistance, but his exit in the 10th over, virtually ended the Bangalore challenge that tonight was not good enough to trouble the Super Kings who did just about everything right on the field.

Late in the innings, Saurabh Tiwary (42 not out) only delayed the inevitable as the Super Kings dropped a couple of catches.

Gayle, in his brief stay, never looked comfortable, unable to fathom the turn and bounce that Ashwin extracted, and the Jamaican powerhouse lasted a mere three balls before thin-edging to Dhoni.

In his next over, Ashwin struck again, rattling Mayank Agarwal’s off-stump with a straight delivery and the Royal Challengers were reeling at 16 for two in the third over.

Kohli and AB de Villiers put together a 32-run stand for the third wicket, but the South African, not in best of form this season, departed, missing a pull off left-arm spinner Jakati and trapped plumb in front.

Jakati struck another blow in his next over, accepting a simple return catch from a clueless Luke Pomersbach who lead-edged, playing for the turn that wasn’t quite there.

With four gone for just 62 in the ninth over, the Royal Challengers were staring at defeat and even more so when Kohli fell leg before to Suresh Raina, while skipper Daniel Vettori was dismissed in the next over, offering an easy catch to Ashwin.

The Royal Challengers never recovered from these body blows despite some late blitz by Tiwary as the Super Kings then cleaned up the tail to author a memorable victory that was founded on the Vijay-Hussey classic.

It was one of the finest batting exhibitions in the IPL this season as both Vijay and Hussey complemented each other, both in shot making and running hard between the wickets.

The run-making was a glorious mix of power hitting, elegant strokes and some deft placements, as the pair, with just two half-century partnerships this season, prospered, growing in confidence all the time.

It was not long before Hussey and Vijay opened up with a series of well-timed sixes and the Super Kings had the early momentum they had missed in the previous games.

The Royal Challengers bowling and fielding flagged as the runs flowed freely and at a good clip. Neither Hussey nor Vijay were unduly hassled on a pitch that afforded true bounce, but very little lateral movement.

For all their dominance, the Super Kings openers stuck to the basics, taking the singles and twos when presented even as they peppered the ropes to provide their team a solid platform.

The heat and humidity eventually got to the batsmen as first Hussey departed, holing out in the deep in the 15th over with the score reading 159. Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni then played a cameo while Vijay too left, out to a tired shot, just five short of a century.

Thereafter, left-arm seamer Sreenath Aravind picked up two wickets off consecutive balls before Gayle emulated that feat in the final over only to see his West Indian counterpart Dwayne Bravo slamming a six off the last ball to put 200 on the board and the Super Kings firmly in the saddle

Exclusive! Chelsea Football Club Latest News : Transfers! Neymar, Sneijder and Kaka!


Brazilian Starlet Neymar, often dubbed as the 'Pele of 21st Century' is excited about Chelsea's Interest in him!
The Brazilian, who turned down the Blues last summer, hopes the Premier League side renew their interest and admits he has spoken to David Luiz and Ramires about living in London.

The man himself has long been linked with Chelsea, and revealed that he turned down a move to west London last summer to stay in Brazil, but has now claimed he would like to play for the Blues in the future and that he dreams of playing in Europe.
Former Chelsea manager Glenn Hoddle believes a player of the creativity of Wesley Sneijder is urgently needed to change the dynamics of the trophy-less club.

If Chelsea want to break into the Barcelona class or topple Manchester United domestically they need far better, more skilful players to do it.

Hoddle says: "Chelsea keep coming closer to winning the Champions League, they have been consistently reaching semi-finals, but right now the squad is lacking a creative element in midfield, to open the door.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid and Brazil Playmaker Kaka has turned down a move away from the Spanish Capital! Kaka has been recently linked up with a possible move to Stamford Bridge after two dissappointing seasons at Real Madrid. But Kaka wants to stay and be a Champion with Real Madrid and win Trophies!

How love keeps you healthy?!

Get in the mood
A fulfilling relationship with your partner helps you overcome your daily challenges-a difficult boss, rush hour traffic, rising prices and random rudeness from strangers-and multiplies your joys. You have something (or someone) to fall back on every day (thank God!). You are calmer and securer. How could that not be good for you? But it's not just that feeling of high, or the sense of security that makes love so wonderful.

There's emerging evidence about the physical benefits of love too: sex, kinship and caring all improve heart health, boost immunity, lower stress and give that wow glow to your skin! In fact, it may not be long before doctors prescribe steamy sex, romantic getaways and compassionate communication in addition to a healthy diet, exercise and sleep. Sounds good? Explore love with your partner to bring on happiness and cash in on the health gains.


Love protects your heart
A 2007 study from the University of Pittsburgh found that women who are in good marriages or relationships have a much lower risk of heart disease than those in high-stress ones. "This is possibly because being in a loving relationship reduces stress, which is a major risk factor for heart disease," explains Dr Anil Mishra,medmedical director and senior consultant interventional cardiologist at Kolkata's BM Birla Heart Research Centre.

Robert Pattinson boasted of 'fake' friendship with Prince William


Robert Pattinson has revealed that he used to pretend to be friends with Prince William.
During a Friday appearance onBBC's The Graham Norton Show, Pattinson recounted his early beginnings as a struggling actor in Los Angeles, reports UsMagazine.
"When I first came to LA, it was very easy to convince people I was a member of the royal family. I hadn't worked for three years -- I was unemployed in London -- and when people asked what I'd been doing, I told people I went to RADA with Prince William," Pattinson said, referring to London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
"People would think, 'You're English, I completely believe you!'" he added.

The One who lost HER! :(


To the one that holds her heart,

This is going to sound so very cliche, but if you break her heart, I will run you over with my car. Now I’m pretty sure you have no idea who I am, but trust me I know all about you. You see, I have many friends, in many places. And I just wanted to make sure that the one who is dating the girl that I love with all my heart is in good hands. Since you have not received any threats yet, I guess you’re an alright guy.

But here’s a couple tips for you, always text her back, she gets really frustrated if you don’t. Don’t ever hang up on her without saying good-bye first, I’ve done that countless times and she gets really pissed off. She has certain days where she has to watch her shows like Pretty Little Liars and One Tree hill, make sure you don’t plan anything on those days. Surprise her, she likes them. She’s only ticklish in some spots and sometime she isn’t ticklish at all. She’s a fighter haha. And if she’s quoting Taylor Swift, either you’re in really big trouble or you’re making her happy.

And when you hug her, remember that you are hugging the most beautiful girl in the world and that you should always hug her back tighter. If she argues with her, argue back. But give in to her sometimes cause she can be a real bitch when she wants to be. Don’t hurt her, that will be the worst thing that you will ever do.

You have no idea how lucky you are to call her yours. So cherish it. You have the honor of holding her hand. You have the privilege to kiss her when you want. You have the ability to make her happy. She isn’t just another girl, she’s that girl that can make you the happiest person ever if you give her the chance. She’s worth everything. Everything. Take care of her.

Sincerely,

The one who lost her
