THE DYNAMIC MUMBAI CITY

Mumbai is a place where everything is possible especially, the impossible.
it is place where-
Where lovers love-but never marry
Where there is a place for every tom, dick and harry.
Where telephone bills make a person ill.
Where a person cannot sleep without pill.
Where carbon-dioxide is more than oxygen.
Where the roads are full of men.
Where college canteens are full & classes are empty.
Where attendance scares between 0 to 20.
Where skyscrapers overlook the slums.
Where houses collapses as the monsoon comes.
Where doordarshan tries to compete CNN.
Where policeman acts a businessman.
Where people act first & then think.
Where there is more water in pen than ink.
Where roads are leveled when the ministers arrive.
Otherwise it is like a roller coaster ride
Where roads become seashores in monsoon.
Where the beggars become rich soon.
Where a person is praised after he dies.
Where the food is reserved sometimes enriched with flies.
THIS IS MUMBAI , MY DEAR
BUT DON'T FEAR , & DO COME HERE,
YEAR AFTER YEAR.

HOW STUDENTS FAILS IN THEIR EXAMS

It's not the fault of the student if he fails, because the year ONLY has 365' days. Boring Lecture

Typical academic year for a student:

1. TV Sundays - 52, Sundays in a year, you know Sundays are for rest. Days left 313.

2. Melting Summer holidays - 50 where weather is very hot and difficult to study.Days left 263.

3. Sleepy 8 hours daily sleep - 130 days GONE. Days left 141.

4. Swinging 2 1 hour for daily playing - (good for health) means 15 days. Days left 126.

5. Munchy 2 hours daily for food & other delicacies (chewing
properly & swallowing) - means 30days. Days left 96.

6. Gossip 1 hour for talking (man is a social animal) - means 15 days. Days left 81.

7. Cheater Exam days - per year at least 35 days. Days left 46.

8. Presents Quarterly, Half yearly and festival (holidays) - 40 days. Balance 6 days.

9. Sneez For sickness - at least 3 days. Remaining days=3.

10. Movie Theater Movies and functions - at least 2 days. 1 day left.

11. That 1 day is your birthday. Make A Wish

How can you study on that day??????!!!!!!!!!!

Balance = 0

"Then how can a student pass ??"

HOW TO SAVE ELECTRICITY ?

My guide is different. I not only give you meaningful tips for slashing your electricity consumption, I give you the tools to figure out exactly how much you're saving as well. Finally, I've answered countless questions from readers about saving electricity. If you have a question, it's probably answered here already.

Maybe you didn't know that there are environmental consequences to using electricity? That's certainly understandable. After all, when you plug something into the wall, it seems clean enough -- you don't see or smell any pollution, like you do with your car. But the pollution is there -- it just happens at the power plant. Most electricity is generated by burning coal and running nuclear power plants. Every time you turn on the lights, you create a little pollution. (See the sidebar.) So saving electricity doesn't just put money in your pocket, it helps keep the air and water clean, too.

Note also that as fossil fuels become scarcer (we've already used more than half of the oil that exists on the planet), our energy appetite puts more pressure for utilities to build dangerous nuclear power plants.

Thinking about going solar? There's good news and bad news. The bad news is that unless you're very proactive about reducing your consumption, a solar system can probably supply only 1/3 of your energy use. The good news is that there's a new program that installs the system for free (you just pay a 23000 deposit), and then you pay for the energy it generates, locking your rate in for up to 25 years.

Before we get to the tips on specific appliances, remember one simple thing: You'll save more electricity by dealing with the biggest electricity-guzzlers rather than worrying about items that don't use much electricity. Worrying about whether it's better to boil a cup of water on an electric burner or in a microwave, or whether you wear out your lights quicker by turning them off rather than keeping them on, is a waste of time and misses the point. Such trivia won't make a dime's worth of difference in your electric bill. It's the bigger things that matter.

A typical desktop computer uses about 65 to 250 watts.
Add another 80 watts for a 17" CRT monitor, or 35 for an LCD monitor.When your computer sleeps ("standby") the the computer uses 1-6 watts.
while the monitor uses next to nothing. You can set your computer to sleep automatically after a certain amount of idle time. Setting your computer to auto-sleep is the best and easiest way to save on computer energy use. In Windows XP go to Start > Control Panel > Power Options.
Laptop computers use about 15-45 watts, far less than desktops.

Make a fridge that uses 93% less electricity than a normal fridge.
The trick is to just use a chest freezer as a fridge, after installing a new thermometer to turn the freezer off when the temperature drops too low. Chest freezers are more efficient than fridges because they have more insulation and because the cold air doesn't spill out when you open the door, because cold air falls down, not up.

A whopping 85-90% of the energy used by a washing machine goes to just heating the water. So you can save a bundle by either lowering the temperature, or getting a machine that uses less water (or both). How much energy can you save by lowering the water temperature? A lot. Here's the cost when your water is heated with electricity:

Cost per year

Hot / Cold

1,547

7130

Warm / Cold

825

3818

Cold / Cold

460


To put in perspective how wasteful hot water is, washing your clothes in hot instead of cold uses more electricity than leaving the refrigerator door open 24 hours a day. (Fridge open 24/7: 180 watts x 13 extra hours day x 365 days/yr. = 854 kWh.)In the typical home, air conditioning uses more electricity than anything else -- 16% of total electricity used. In warmer regions AC can be 60-70% of your summer electric bill. If you're serious about saving energy, address your cooling costs first, since that's what uses the most electricity
A window unit AC uses 500 to 1440 watts, while a 2.5-ton central system uses about 3500 watts. That's a lot of energy. A floor fan uses only 100 watts on the highest speed, and ceiling fans use only 15 to 95 watts depending on speed and size.

PLANET MARS

The planet no. 4 in our solar system. Which has features of planet Earth ,it means in future living beings can live in .Mars is mostly rock and metal. Mountains and craters scar the rugged terrain. The dust, an iron oxide, gives the planet its reddish cast. A thin atmosphere and an elliptical orbit combine to create temperature fluctuations ranging from minus 207 degrees Fahrenheit to a comfortable 80 degrees Fahrenheit on summer days (if you are at the equator). Researchers have recently monitored huge storms swirling on Mars (like this one). The storms are very similar to hurricanes on Earth.
Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos.

Is there water?
Mars was most likely warm and wet about 3.7 billion years ago. But as the planet cooled, the water froze. Remnants exist as ice caps at the poles. A recent image of Mars taken by the Hubble Space Telescope shows evidence of water-bearing minerals in large amounts, and scientists say the deposits may provide clues to the planet's water-rich background.

Is there life on Mars?
It has not yet been proven that there is life on Mars. A NASA announcement in 1996 about microscopic life found in a meteorite has failed to convince skeptics, and the search continues.

Energy and Health Drinks Good Or Bad For Health

March 15, 2006 - Those self-described energy drinks that have flooded the market are loaded with caffeine and should be required to say so on their labels, a group of researchers from the University of Florida contends.
The researchers analyzed the caffeine content of 10 of the best-selling energy drinks along with 19 types of carbonated soda and seven other best-selling commercial beverages.
Many of the energy drinks contained about twice as much caffeine as the typical caffeinated soda beverage, but caffeine content varied widely from brand to brand, and even within brands.
A 12-ounce serving of Coca-Cola Classic, for example contained 29 milligrams of caffeine, compared with 38 milligrams in a Diet Coke and 39.6 milligrams in Diet Coke with Lime.
Pepsi Co's Mountain Dew had the most caffeine of any regular soft drink tested, with 45 milligrams per 12-ounce serving.
An 8-ounce cup of regular coffee typically has 100 to 150 milligrams of caffeine.
Energy Drinks and CaffeineEnergy drinks are wildly popular, and it seems that new ones pop up on convenience store and grocery store shelves each week.
But most consumers aren't aware that the vast majority of these drinks rely on large doses of caffeine to boost energy, University of Florida toxicologist Bruce A.
The caffeine content of energy drinks and commercial coffee beverages is not regulated by the FDA, and the amount of caffeine in most of these beverages tested in the study exceeded the maximum allowance for carbonated cola beverages.
Caffeine and Health Excessive caffeine has been linked to medical complications ranging from interrupted sleep to headaches to women giving birth to smaller babies. Caffeine has also been linked to increasing heart rate and blood pressure, which poses a potential conflict to those with certain medical problems.
Dietitian Cynthia Sass, RD, says caffeine's effect on the body varies from person to person, and that is another reason why clear labeling is needed.
"Some people can have a really strong cup of coffee and go right to sleep and other people get that jittery, nervous, overstimulated feeling from the same amount of caffeine," she says.
Knowing how much caffeine is in a particular product could help people make better decisions about whether or not to consume it, she says.
She adds that just as with other stimulants, using caffeine to combat fatigue may make you feel better temporarily, but you pay for it later.
"When you are fatigued your body needs sleep and you aren't going to function well until you get it," she says. "Using a stimulant like caffeine is a temporary band-aid to the problem."
Labeling Caffeine Content While the FDA requires commercial beverage manufacturers to list the presence of caffeine on their labels, it doesn't require them to list how much caffeine a product contains.
"We think these beverages should be clearly labeled with the caffeine content listed just as other nutrients are listed," he says.
Johns Hopkins professor of behavioral biology Roland Griffiths, PhD, agrees. Griffiths has been studying the effect of caffeine on the body for many years, and he says the stimulant is the most widely used mood-altering drug in the world.
Griffiths says energy drink consumers are being misled by advertising for the products.
"The ads give people the idea that they are getting a cocktail of various ingredients fine-tuned to sarcastically enhance energy," he says. "As far as I can tell, this is bogus. The effects of these drinks are largely due to the presence of added caffeine, and the magnitude of the effect is completely caffeine-dose dependent."
