Dark Knight - a movie of class

There are superhero movies that thrill and excite and keep the viewers reverted to their seats for the duration of the movie and then there are the superhero movies that break every single stereotype you’ve ever come across and pave new roads into cinema, raising the bar to impossible heights. The Dark Knight falls into this latter category. Director Christopher Nolan, Who gave us Batman Begins, takes the Batman, franchise into a quasi-realistic realm with stories and scenarios that could well have been picked up from life as we know it today. So there’s Batman – Christian Bale, in a career redefining role- who’s torn between his vigilante life and the need to live like a normal person with someone he loves. Gotham city is divided in its opinion on Batman: should they support this vigilante and pave the way for fascism where one man dictates the law or should they outlaw him and let the white knights- here, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) who’s the District Attorney determine to root out crime along with Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal) the deputy DA and Bruce Wayne’s love interest – take over the crime fighting? Heath Ledger, as everyone now knows, is the joker, that laughable bad guy from the Batman comics who Ledger now turns into not just any character but a force of nature. The joker is not interested in being evil, he only wants to spread anarchy; chaos is his bedfellow and he tells Batman, “I don’t want to kill you. You complete me” for without batman, his crusade would have no teeth. The film grapples with the issues of good and evil, the fine line between right and wrong and the basic nature of society and will leave you reanalyzing your stand on morality and what it really means. Go watch this movie; it’s worth every single penny. It’ll give you a new perspective of life.

HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF FROM GIRLS WHEN IN TROUBLE

In the first blog you would have seen how a girl is when she is angry. This conversation sums up my response to my friend. This is how I managed to justify my point and reply to my friend in a strong manner thereby not getting into any trouble.

Me: Listen (Anu). I tried to call you up several times but you didn’t pick up the call and every week I had to go to my hometown to see my family. I had my own personal work. I have been in Bangalore only on two weekends. In that one weekend I had to go meet up my cousins staying here.

Anu: So…. You had the one more weekend right…

Me: Exactly… That weekend I tried calling you up but you didn’t pick up my call (Actually I gave a missed call but … this is how you say it!). So I planned it with my roommates.

Anu: Hmmm….!!!

Me: We both are having awkward office timings… When I work from morning 8 to evening 6 you work from evening 8 to morning 6. So meeting on weekdays is not possible and we are not in same office (by the way... isn’t her office five minutes walk from my office???!!!).

Anu: Hmmm… (Only Hmmm from her… cause it’s my turn to talk and her turn to listen to…)

Me: I’m not doing everything purposefully but it just happens that I get really busy.

Anu: I’m really upset because you have been (once…? been…?? Now am I still her friend or not??) a great friend and now its a different picture that I see from you.

Me: (harsh words to follow up soon with lengthy dialogues...) Do u think that I don’t care for my best friend? Do you think I am happy for that? And do you think you are the only one who is upset?? You know I don’t call anyone that often. Ask Raji (one of our common friend) how many times I called her and spoke about you. Every time she calls up and she once asked “You like Anu more than me right” and I keep thinking about you. Reason... We used to hang out frequently in Ahmadabad if you can remember. Raji has even told me that she is jealous of our friendship, do you know that? Think how angry you were with me for the last few days... And how you responded to me when I messaged. I knew what you were thinking so I didn’t utter a word when you blasted (All censored words...) me off. Think how many times you would have hurt me … (I’m really good at this… right??)

Anu: Hmmm…. I don’t have a problem with you talking with Raji.

Me: No… I know that but you should also know what’s happening from my side so that you will get a clear picture. Mistakes are on both sides and more on my side… but it’s not a known mistake. Things made it happen that way.

Anu: Ok. I forgive you for that. Tomorrow I am coming to you place.

Me: Okay. Hey… Where exactly is your house (Finally… I asked the question...Phew…)????

The V-Day plan

Valentines Day is nearing and this day is always special to me. It not only marks the day as lover’s day but it is also my best friend’s birthday. Valentine’s Day is universally celebrated all over the world. It’s the day when all the lovers woo their valentine with special valentine gifts and make their day very special and romantic. This year is going to be a special year for me as I have planned many things to be done for my valentine. It’s a special day for me because this is my first year with my valentine. I have made some plans for the Valentine’s Day. There are few things that i am planning to do to make her heart flutter.

I am planning to take my valentine in my new bike (Yamaha R15) to the most romantic place in the world, the beach, in the evening. I have booked a table for two in the nearby sea view restaurant. I have planned for a typical candle light dinner with my girl. In the restaurant, I will give my handwritten, romantic and heartfelt love letter to my girl. It’s always good when you give a love letter to your loved once expressing how much you love her. Along with the love letter i will place a bouquet of roses. Flowers come in very handy to any lover for that matter, and on this special day, flowers make them even more romantic and special. My girl likes perfumes, so i have placed an order online for one of her favourite perfume. Along with that I have also placed an order for a designer wear dress for her. After the romantic dinner, for the final finale, i have made arrangements for an orchestra for some romantic dance with her and I have also arranged for a private movie show, just for my girl. At the end of the movie show I’m planning to kneel down in my knees and say the three most beautiful worlds “I Love you” to my valentine. I hope everything will go smooth and if all this is successful, my day will turn out to be a special day to be remembered for lifetime.

ARSENAL INTO MY LIFE

It was in the year 1998 wherein I started to play and watch football. At that time I didn’t even know how to play properly. Only thing I knew was to hit the ball into the goal. The passion and excitement in me for this sport grew even more when I watched the FIFA world cup 1998. At that time I knew only Brazil and France. The way France played the world cup made me to change the sport that I watch and play. From then on I started watching football, especially English premier league, because that was the only one that was telecasted in our cable channel. I barely knew any clubs in that league. I didn’t no which team was powerful and which team was popular. That time I saw this team, Arsenal, that caught my attention the most. The style of football that this team played was entirely different and it entertained me a lot. The movement with the ball, the passing, the pace of the game which Arsenal controlled, everything just amazed me so much that I became a fan of this club. At first, I thought that the manager of the club, Arsene Wenger was the reason for this club to be named as Arsenal. But later I found out that I was wrong. There was a player named Thierry Henry, who inspires me the most in that club. I learnt many things from the club, the manager and from Thierry Henry. Henry was a natural winger position during his times at his previous club but Arsene Wenger made him take the centre forward role which turned out to be his best position and it worked really well for the manager and the club. They clinched FA cup in 1999 and year after year they grew even stronger. I grew more passionate to this sport and to this club. The club managed to clinch the premier league title in 01-02 and 03-04.I used to stick my head into the TV when they play. The year 2003 turned out to be a record breaking year for Arsenal as the club won its title in some style. It was the only premier league side which was unbeaten for 49 games that includes a full season. I was literally on tears when they took the premier league without any defeat. I couldn’t control my emotions as I was jumping up and down , kissed my dad’s cheek in joy , went out and shouted “yes we won we won”. It was like as if I have achieved something special in my life. At that time I realized how much this club has influenced me in my life. After that I stopped watching other sports and was fully focused on football. Arsenal club became very close to my heart and soul and I became a die hard fan of this club. Arsenal club was then branded as “Beautiful football”. Till now I support Arsenal and I don’t even miss one game. Hail football and Hail Arsenal.

ZAP Gaming Center

I was taken to a small place by my friend called Zap gaming center. I had no clue that it was near my house. It was in a ground floor and it had dim lights. As soon I as I went in, the first thing that caught my eyes was the people gathered for gaming. People of age rang from 8 to 30 were in that gaming center playing various games, most famous being Counter Strike, Age of Empires and FIFA. Apart from this it also had high speed internet connection for browsing and chatting. The center was not that big and it had 25 systems to play games, with two Television for playing Xbox and PS3. It costs 30 rupees per hour for playing in system and 40 for playing in television. I am not a game freak and I don’t like first person shooting games too. I play only football but still my friend forced me to join Counter strike game. Many unknown gameaholics joined this game and I didn’t know how the time went by. Everyone was engrossed in it. I even started to shout whenever I won and this was the general ambience in that place. People get so involved into the game that they shout while playing the game. To add things, it also had “zap” food centre next to it. So when people are playing they can even order food from their system and it will be served to their place itself. Mostly of the school going kids come to this place as this place is located in-between four school zones. Kids keep coming every time in the day and they also have night gaming. So it’s by far the most happening gaming centers in my locality and I can’t image how much money he will be making in a month. This gaming center is an addiction to many young kids who spend hundreds of rupees per day. Yet it gives you so much of fun that you will feel that spending hundred for this is worthwhile.

Winning Goal

When I opened my eyes from sleep I saw myself in bed with an unknown girl. I was really surprised. I didn’t no what happened on the previous night. I was all naked. I jumped out of my bed and put my clothes and went out to balcony to find a sea side view. It was really strange for me. For two minutes I didn’t know where I was and the house was also not mine. I went out and I saw Aston Martin DB9, Ferrari Enzo and a Pagani Zonda parked in the garage. I was totally surprised and shocked. Suddenly I heard a phone ringing. I went inside the house again to pick up the call and it was my mom who asked me to go to the training ground. I had no clue on what I was and I didn’t have even the slightest idea why my mom wanted me to go to the training ground. I drove my Ashton Martin and I managed to find the route to the training ground which was just a mile away. Suddenly there was a loud shout at me saying “You are fifteen minutes late “. To my surprise I saw Raymond Domenech saying those words to me. I just walked to him with no clue and he said “practice hard boys. This is your big chance “. I saw my idol, Thierry Henry, practicing some of his usual tricks. On the wink of my eyes I was in a stadium with a huge crowd and wearing a France jersey. It was the world cup final against Italy. The match got started. I managed to skip past one but a defender tackled me in the penalty box. I got a penalty for my country. Zidane calmly converted the penalty. Soon after that Italy managed to equalize our score. Before the end of normal playing time Zidane got himself a Red card for head butting Matarazzi. The match went to penalty shootout and it was tied at four all. It was my turn to step up and take the penalty. I went towards the goal, took the ball and kissed it and I told myself “come on you can make France proud”. I moved three steps back and the whole crowd became silent and was at their edge of their seat. Many were even praying to god. I closed my eyes for a second to decide which way to hit the ball inside the goal. I came charging towards the ball and someone shouted my name from the crowd and asked me to clean the tank. Suddenly everything wiped off in a flash. Before I could score a goal my mom woke me up from the bed. The question that taunts me still is “Did I make the goal or not? “And “Was I David Trezeguet? “

Inter Milan Vs Rubin Kazan

It was match encounters that was about to be played in UEFA Champions league on the first week of December and all eyes were on the teams who had matches that would decide their stay in the Champions league, especially the Intermilan-Barcelona group. There were many articles that quoted about Jose Mourinho’s stint over Champions league last sixteen group stage. It was the deciding match for both Intermilan and for Rubin Kazan as they met each other. Win for any team would take them to the last sixteen stages.

Rubin Kazan who walked in as the under dogs in Barcelona, stunned the whole football world by beating them. They now face the San Siro music. I was all excited to watch this match. Mourinho’s inter who were knocked out of last year’s champions league are desperate to lay their hands over the trophy and I personally feel Mourinho has good leadership qualities as he has already lead Porto to win the league. The Russians, Rubin Kazan, however are in very good form as they lifted the Russian league for the second year. This team is very hard working and are having very good team work skills. It would surely be a challenging task for Mourinho’s Intermilan and also to Rubin Kazan to make or Break their way to the last sixteen and I can’t wait to hear the result.

GIRLS ATTITUDE

Understanding a girl is the kind of a difficult task. In fact it’s an impossible task I should say. Things go awry when they are angry at you. Here is one good example of conversation that pretty much sums up “GIRLS” when angry at “GUYS”. This happened yesterday between me and my friend Anu.

Me: Hey you heard aarya2 songs its awesome girl!! I am planning for the movie. Interested in joining me??

Anu: Hmmm... Let’s see. Let me know when!

Me: Mostly by this weekend.

Anu: Oh weekend eh? Then no I have to meet some of my friends!

Me: Hmmm..

Anu: Anyway you let me know when u book tickets.

Me: Okay!

Anu: (sudden mood swing)… and BTW (by the way) I’m sorry I will not come for a movie with you at all. Forget it. You properly dumped me.

ME:!!!???!!!???!!!

Anu: You came near my place and didn’t even have the courtesy to call or even tell me. GET LOST!!

Me: (CLUELESS!!!) What? Now what did I do.?? I came there to Dominos with my friends at night 9 and how will you expect me to call you up??

Anu: I didn’t need your invite. You could have at least given me a call. You are such an ass!!! (Now that’s what I call “blaspheme”)

Me: Listen (Anu)!!! I seriously didn’t know that your house was near dominos. Else I would have definitely called you up.

Anu: That’s what even I am telling you. You didn’t know where my house is. You didn’t even bother to ask and I don’t care where you went. That’s not my business anymore. I once (once..!!!??!!) called you my best friend and now I get so upset with you for everything cause you turn me down every time .

Me: But..!!! (Couldn’t even utter a word as she threw words like a jet)

Anu: I have been meaning to talk to you, but I am not, because the end of the day I am the one who gets hurt. You don’t realize that. Probably the fault is mine. But do u know how unresponsive (unresponsive…? me…?) you are with me.

Me: (speechless… saving it all for me to release!)

Anu: Think!!! The fault is probably mine (here is the answer followed by but to defend the criticism) but still you bloody stay 5 km away from my place and you are here for the last 4 months. You don’t know where I live. Shame on you!!

Me: Listen!!! I am sorry for not knowing where you live. I will surely come to your place tomorrow itself.

Anu: You don’t need to just because I said so. Ok!

This was one half of the conversation that shows how girls are when angry. You might be thinking what would have happened after this. It’s my turn to talk, to defend, to blast, to criticize. The second half of the conversation will be my next blog on HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF FROM GIRLS WHEN IN TROUBLE!!

Mother Nature

I have always wondered

Now Nature has my woes alleviated

Offering an anodyne to my being

When my thoughts are perturbed

And my soul is anguished.

Sometimes, When I’m bound by invisible fetters

And my goals seem distant and mazy

I take refuge in the panoply of the stars, the moon

And in the verdure under the sky

Instantly, peaceful thoughts take over my listless reverie

I listen to the paean of the birds,

Smell the fragrance of the flowers

And how can I not feel the beauty, the wonder

That suffuses happiness into every cell of my body

In front of me are endless possibilities

And life has so many opportunities

A smile quickly lights upon my face

Mother Nature always has a balm

To soothe every disturbed feelings of mine

I come out of thoughts of enervation

And go into a deep halcyon repose

I open my eyes and find a renascent myself

My troubles seem evanescent

And I wonder why I ruminated

Instilled with confidence and hope

I’m ready to chase my goal

Oh mother Nature! I exalt at your beauty

I do not find anything that could replace

Your care and nurture

And imitation would merely be an epigone

How can I express my obeisance

For the countless ways you abet mankind

And help them find the true meaning of life.

The Land of the Netherlands

The land of the Netherlands,

Water, hardly below the lands,

A land, by virtue of strong dikes,

And almost inundated with bikes,

Strips of water amidst the land,

Indeed land and water hand in hand,

It is banal to talk about its canals,

For they are deep in its annals,

Numerous old big windmills,

Making up for the absence of hills,

Strikingly beautiful tulips,

The fields filled with so many lips,

Here it constantly rains,

Occasionally the sun shines,

Attractive are its parks and museums,

On which one can pen symposium,

Its capital, Amsterdam, symbolizes prosperity,

Not to miss also its notoriety,

Its people are know as the Dutch,

So is the language Dutch,

Biking hard, they grow tall,

From high standards they hardly fall,

They may starve without Bread-n-cheese,

They holiday on the mountains of skis,

How they speak, is strange,

Conversation filled with rage,

To anything there must be consensus,

Their discussions, blunt and lacking pretenses,

Holland covers a small part of the world,

Netherland is magnificent as they told.

Have you swayed to Celtic tunes?

Remember James Cameron’s eleven academy award winning movie, Titanic. This critically acclaimed movie carried a scene where Leonardo Dicaprio takes Kate Winslet to a much livelier party with an impromptu dance going on! Ever wonder what form of dance that is or what it is called?

Ceili (meaning party), a traditional Gaelic social dance, originated in Ireland and Scotland, and is now common throughout the Celtic Diaspora. It is often called a figure dance because of the pattern that the dancers make. There are a few basic steps and each dance combines these steps in different ways. The principle dance forms are jigs and reels, involving a certain number of steps, generally in three or sevens. Some dances are performed, with a partner, in circles, some in lines and some in groups of three or four.

I was so eager to learn this form of dance. I and my friends joined a dance school which conducted a ten day class. At the beginning of the ceili, the caller (dance instructor) names the dance and invites volunteers from the group to demonstrate the reel or the jig. The dancers are then requested to invite a partner up to dance. We danced to the ‘Haymakers’(jig), ‘Siege of Ennis’ and other progressive dances like ‘lonsi na hisi Ballai Luimni’, Which is step hop 1 2 3 (jig). We thoroughly enjoyed this form of dance. The ten dance was the most enjoyable recent moment in my life.

Narrow Path of life

It always a challenging and exciting feeling when your stand on your own, with pride and with high hopes eyeing for success in your path. But life doesn’t only show the path of success but also gives you the bitter task of failure too. This i learnt when I stood on my own without the help of my parents. Far way from my parents, I went eagerly awaiting to meet new people and challenge my life. Leading life without the parents help was not an easy task at all. I had to do all my work on my own and carried lot of responsibilities (since I started to work). Right from washing my clothes, till getting a new dress I always looked forward to my parents and now it’s not the same. I was on my own all the way though. Even though it was really challenging and had a sweet taste of happiness add to it, it reminds me of my old days where I was even happier under my parents shelter. This I realized when I was helpless, bedridden due to fever. There was absolutely no one to help me out as I stayed with bachelors. At that very moment I realized how important my parents were in my life and how much I missed them. For those who are with parents, you are damn lucky and for those who are all alone, im sure you will also feel the same, don’t you??

eBook now in iBook

Little did i know that the iPhone, I recently bought, can be used to read eBooks. I always love to read book and when my friend told about reading books in iphone i was thrilled. But i didn’t have the knowledge on how to get eBooks for my iPhone. So i browsed the internet to find out the details about it. While browsing I found an interesting article that gave me a clear picture of how to feed my eBooks to my phone. An application named Lexcycle lets you to copy the eBook to your Iphone wirelessly.

There also some online store which offer eBooks in PDF format. With my iphone in my hand i don’t need to go to library or a bookstore at all. Technology has taken our world entirely into a new dimension.

WWE

I started watching this eye washing entertainment sports called World Wrestling Federation which is now popularly called as World wresting entertainment. At that time my dad used to watch this game and he made me also to watch it. First I though it was too bad as people beat each other out but it later turned out to fascinate me and I etched closer to get addicted to this sports. The tombstone by Undertaker, the sharpshooter by Hitman, HBK’s super kick, Stonecold’s stunner and the Rock’s Peoples elbow were my favorite moves. I really thought they were fighting for real and I have even played some of these moves with my friends and cousins. Later I came to know that these are not real fights but just a ‘role-play’ type fights wherein they pretend to get hurt with blooding oozing out from their head when hit by a chair. Amazing are the wrestlers who do this form of entertainment for the people. In fact there is always a fan following for this entertainment sports all over the world. Some of the children’s still have John Cena and other latest wrestlers as their superheros. They even tend to imitate them like how I did. I personally have seen many persons getting affected by doing what these wrestlers do even though the wrestlers warn the people and kids not to try this at home. After knowing that all are fake stunts in wresting I have stopped watching this entertainment game. I still laugh at myself for doing all the acts done by the wrestlers during my young age. One personal message to everyone, please don’t try to copy what these wrestlers do at home or any place else.

Health is Wealth

Have you ever thought of trimming down you fat for years? Do you really believe you can reduce your weight without going to gym. For people who say yes, it’s true. Fatness is caused dues to various aspects of our food habits. Having junk food is the main reason to put on fat. If you can stop having junk food you can reduce your weight gradually. Try to have healthy food that gives more carbohydrate than fat to your body such as bread, raw vegetables and egg. Most of the people who are fat have this habit of not having their course of food at the right time. This can also increase your fat content in your body. Eating lots of sweets increases your appetite and reduces the fat burning capacity. So try to avoid eating sweets and chips. Researches has show that people who have excess fat in the abdominal content and the area beneath the breastbone is unhealthy and can very well lead to many serious health problems. Walking and jogging are one of the best medicines to keep yourself healthy and reduces your fat. Early to bed and early to rise improves your health. By doing all these you can surely be fit enough and the unhealthy fat will gradually reduce off to healthy strong muscles.

Book of art

Among the many forms that art has taken from paintings to installation art, none is more unique than artist’s books or book art. To loosely define it, it is described as works of art realized in the form of, or something resembling, a book. But this would simply be doing the art a grave injustice because book art by its very nature eludes a straitjacketing definition. The very term artist’s book is under some dispute, with some artists preferring the term book art while others arguing about the placement of the apostrophe. Although this form of art has been around centuries, it found its peak manifestation in the late 20th century.

Artist’s books are not, as may be commonly mistaken, a catalogue of works by an artist or a portfolio or a tome. Every facet of the artist’s books is intricately bound with the theme of actual work, so the raw materials used, the bindings, the form it takes- whether book or scrolls or loose pages in a box, even it’s distribution and dissemination, every aspect is controlled by the artist and are all parts of the artist’s expression.

Today’s, book art is recognized as a separate gender and much effort has gone into creating a separate space for it. Many colleges now offer book art degree and artist’s books have become prized collector’s items. Because of the varied form of book of art, it is less a display-worthy creation than collector’s piece and as a result it is limited to being a premium pursuit of the art cognoscenti. Art metro pole in Toronto and Printed Matter in New York are the two exclusive stores that specialize in book art and double as galleries for the same.

Windows Vista

After just a year of joining my work, i was given a office laptop to work. It was the first time that i used a laptop. It had windows vista OS installed to it. I wasn’t aware of windows vista, as I have always used Windows XP at my home. Windows vista was a lot different from Windows XP. I browsed the internet to find out more details about Windows Vista. Windows Vista had a very different desktop interface, right from the start menu till the recycle bin icon. The start menu of Windows Vista was very unique as it automatically vanishes when the cursor is removed from it. The themes in Vista are more creative and the control panel is different from the normal Windows XP control panel.

The search menu of Vista was really the highlight feature as you can directly type anything that is available in your system and it gives you the appropriate search result as and when u start typing letter by letter. Apart from that you can also create shortcuts and Windows Vista has a feature to remove the unused desktop icons. The browsing experience in Windows Vista is way better than Windows XP. There are also many similarities in Windows Vista operations with Windows XP. The new Vista is sure to dominate the current computer Operating Systems.

AIDS AWARENESS

AIDS, Acquired immune deficiency syndrome a human immune diseases has awakened human species during the recent years. A sense of fear and ignorance is felt in the minds of the people whenever there is a rupture of this issue. Hence even after its impact on human species for such a long period, the race has not yet understood the adversities of the dreaded killer. As we are in a democratic country, India, we need to make the country safe and efficient place to be in. And starting an awareness of AIDS, a culprit of humans own intervention with nature’s laws of compatibility, will bring us one step ahead for the benefit and protection of people and also of our mother land.

There are many organizations which have been helping hands in increasing the pubic awareness. Red Ribbon Project is the primary one, which emphasizes a hand for a simple support for the people who are living with AIDS and also for their caretakers. Generally Red ribbon acts as a symbol of solidarity of people living with HIV/AIDS.

Education is the primary factor when it comes to such critical circumstances where in people reacts differently for situations which they are unaware of. Constant education in the right path will lead to a better understanding of this disease and we humans can combat it in a fruitful way.

When we think of whom to educate, there comes the vast difference. Teenager's, illiterates are the primary targets and different kinds of people must be handled differently.

Teenagers are the next generation. Their thinking is wide spread, quick and especially on roads to sexual involvement for fun and fantasy. Hence they are more prone to experimenting in sex and drugs compared to an adult. So correct information and skills should be passed on, which are needed to take preventive steps to protect themselves from exposure to the AIDS virus. Education on sex, especially from their parents would be the best way of awareness they can get. They must also be mentioned the consequences and risk of sex and drug involvement in their body and also on others.

Illiterates, here as I would like to mention are the ignorant people of AIDS and its involvement. In such cases education is the key remedy. Activities which maybe fatal include participating in unprotected intercourse, having sexual relationships in which you do not trust your partner, blood transfusion from unknown recipient, and injection of drugs from contaminated needles may lead to AIDS.

Mostly there are 4 ways of the transmission:

• Unprotected sex with the infected partner.
• Sharing needles for injection with infected people.
• Blood transfusion of blood from infected ones.
• Infected Mother to baby during birth or during breast feeding.

Any other means of sharing and caring with HIV infected person doesn't transmit the diseases. You can share a coffee, clothes and also rest-rooms with the infected people. Mosquito or insect bites don't transmit the disease. No one has been infected by hugging people with AIDS or eating with them or dancing or talking with them.

The other important thing is the way we treat people living with AIDS and make them settle with it. Making them face the disease with a healthy mind set will make them ready for other challenges. This is by equalizing them with others. Red Cross committee has always been there and there are also lots of local AIDS organizations which take care of them and help them to live with it, in a positive approach.

The life with HIV / AIDS changes but it doesn't mean to be fear, disturbed and isolated. We must strengthen our inside and outside environment, so that we come out flourished in it.

BE AWARE, BE PROTECTED.

Promote IT

Starting a new business is always a daunting task. It involves lots of hard work, money and knowledge. I always wanted to establish my business through a website as it reaches more people faster. For this reason i had created my own web site to promote my business. One of my friends insisted me to post in web directories in order to popularise my site and develop my business. While i was browsing through Google for business web directory wherein i can add my website, i found out one interesting web directory named jasmindirectory wherein websites of different categories can be posted in their corresponding web directories. So i decided to post my website. To my surprise, i found out that there were lots of links and networks building to my website after posting in jasmindirectory. My web site reached lots of people and my business developed very fast.

As my website became popular i got lots of business clients. In a short duration of time my web site also gained a significant page ranking in Google due to heavy increase in traffic. Today my business and my website are well established and i would suggest people to definitely opt for a web directory in order to popularise your web site and thus result in the rapid growth of your business.
