Why aren't Chidambaram and Madhavan Nair treated equally? -Article TV shenoy ( source : Rediffmail) Industry, Impartiality, Integrity' runs the motto of the Central Bureau of Investigation. George Orwell hit closer to the truth: 'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.' Consider the manner in which the Government of India [ Images ] treats Pinarayi Vijayan, G Madhavan Nair, and P Chidambaram, and you will see just how some are 'more equal'. Pinarayi Vijayan is in trouble because of a contract with the Canadian firm SNC Lavalin, to renovate and modernise the hydro-electric stations at Pallivasal, Sengulam, and Panniar. The deal was initiated when Kerala's [ Images ] Power Minister was G Karthikeyan, a Congressman. Just months later the Congress-led United Democratic Front government lost power in the 1996 assembly elections, and E K Nayanar's [ Images ] Left Democratic Front ministry assumed office. Pinarayi Vijayan, the power ...

Their ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak... The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit." Then Peace's flame slowly diminished and went out completely. The second candle said, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable." Then Faith's flame slowly diminished and went out completely. Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer." "People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them." And waiting no longer, Love went out completely. Suddenly... A child entered the room and saw the three candles no longer burning. The child began to cry, "Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end." Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy, "Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles....

In fact, sex can benefit your health in many ways. Here are seven reasons to give and get a little love – not just this special day, but any time. Good for the heart Sex is good for your heart. Like any physical exertion, sex is a form of cardio-exercise, which gets your heart pumping faster and helps it stay in shape. What's more, studies have shown that men who have sex two or more times per week cut their risk of a fatal heart attack by half. Helps you lose weight Like any form of exercise, sex helps you lose weight. Having sex for 30 minutes can burn off 85 calories. To put that in perspective: 15 minutes on the treadmill could burn up to 200 calories; 42 of these half-hour sessions, then, could shave a pound off your weight. Boosts your immune system While it's possible to contract a wide range of diseases, both from sex and from simple contact with others, safe sex between healthy partners can make you better equipped to fight illness. Those who have sex once or twice a w...

Keeping children safe is the main concern of every parent. Image Credit: Supplied Dubai: The recent alleged sexual assault of a four-year-old girl by her school bus driver and two conductors has raised fear among parents, along with many questions about how to protect a small child against a similar attack. Keeping children safe is the main concern of every parent, and according to Dr Raymond H. Hamden, Clinical and Forensic Psychologist at Human Relations Institute, there are eight points to keeping your child safe, and the first is educating them about sex. "Even at a very young age like two or three, you can tell them when you wash them that only mom and dad can wash you, but no one else," Dr Hamden said. Secondly, talk to your child about sexual matters. Tell them to beware people who may try to touch them, he said. The third point is sex education in the school system, which must be taught by a physical education or science teacher along with parents and clergy, who shou...

Corporate Lesson A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he saw a dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back again. So, he goes near the dog and noticed that dog has a note in his mouth. He takes the note and it reads "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please". The dog has money in his mouth, as well. The butcher looks inside and, lo and behold, there is a ten dollar note there. So he takes the money and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth. The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decides to close the shop and follow the dog. So off he goes. The dog is walking down the street and comes to a level crossing, then dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button and waits patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and he walks across the road, with the butcher following him all the way. The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking...

Suhas Gopinath When 14-year-old Suhas Gopinath started Globals Inc ten years ago from a cyber cafe in Bengaluru, he didn't know that he had become the youngest CEO in the world. Today, Globals is a multi-million dollar company with offices in the United States, India, Canada, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, Australia, Singapore and the Middle East and has 100 employees in India and 56 abroad.

He is also recognised as one of the 'Young Global Leaders' for 2008-2009 by the prestigious World Economic Forum. Suhas is the youngest member ever i...

That's how the men's list of wants turned out to be when we asked them. Here they are, but not in any order of importance: 1. Money, money, money. Put '10 crore or so in his account and never hassle him with tax issues - and voila, you have one happy man." Sure, it should all be in white. Men love the colour of money and they love it even more when it is white," says Tajinder Dogra, who responded to our previous article on " 30 simple things women want". Khitij Chawla, a biotechnology student, says: " Enough money to support all our frivolous expenditure, savings, EMIs and investments." 2. Six- pack, eight- pack, whatever. These may be trends set by our Bollywood pin- up boys, but if they can do it why can't their fans? So men now want to pack some muscles into their abdomen. " Six or eight - anything would work for me," says Debanjan Chakraborty, trying not to sound too fastidious. However, some men wish they could be proud of th...

The Salary of MP has being increased Three times. The problem with the current debate over the salary and allowances for Members of Parliament (MPs) is not the extent of increase that the government has proposed or a few parliamentarians have sought. The increase proposed by the government is reasonable by any yardstick -- a three-fold rise takes their salary and allowances to around the compensation level enjoyed by a secretary to the Union government at present. There is nothing wrong in that. The problem lies elsewhere, but first let us place the debate in the right context. There are some members, primarily those belonging to the Left, who are not happy deciding on the increase in their own salary and allowances. That is a valid point. Should MPs be approving their own salary? Would you be comfortable running a company where the employees decide by vote what salary they should get? Members of Parliament are the people's representatives and should not fix their own salary. The g...

The manager of a large corporation got a heart attack, and the doctor told him to go for several weeks to a farm to relax. The guy went to a farm, and after a couple of days he was very bored, so he asked the farmer to give him some job to do. The farmer told him to clean up all of the cow manure. The farmer thought that to somebody coming from the city, working the whole life sitting in an office, it will take over a week to finish the job, but for his surprise the manager finished the job in less than one day The next day the farmer gave to the manager a more difficult job: to cut the heads of 500 chickens. The farmer was sure that the manager will not be able to do the job, but at the end of the day the job was done The next morning, as most of the jobs in the farm were done, the farmer asked the manager to divide a bag of potatoes in two boxes: one box with small potatoes, and one box with big potatoes. At the end of the day the farmer saw that the manager was sitting in front of...

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups. Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and c...

Over the years, I’ve been teaching kids about a simple but powerful concept: the Ant Philosophy. I think everybody should study ants. They have an amazing four-part philosophy. Here is the first part: Ants never quit. That’s a good philosophy. If they’re headed somewhere and you try to stop them, they’ll look for another way. They’ll climb over. They’ll climb under. They’ll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy—to never quit looking for a way to get where you’re supposed to go. Second, ants think winter all summer. That’s an important perspective. You can’t be so naive as to think summer will last forever. So ants gather their winter food in the middle of summer. An ancient story says, “Don’t build your house on the sand in the summer.” Why do we need that advice? Because it is important to think ahead. In the summer, you’ve got to think storm. You’ve got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. The third part of the Ant Philosophy is that ants th...
