I am Grateful to YOu My Lord



I am grateful to You My Lord
For granting my prayers,
The helps rendered in needs
And the wonderful life You gave.

I am grateful to You My Lord
For the things I see,Objects I touch
Words I hear,Food I taste
For the scent I smell.

For the touch You send when I,
Cried out for a Motherly care,

The warmth You gave ,When I
Felt discomfort in the freeze.

For the Love You gave,When I
Starved for a drop of love.

The spirit You gave ,When I
Disheartened myself for silly deeds.

The Courage You gave, When I
Scared myself to death.

I extend my hands to Thee, My Lord,
To hold me in Your loving hands.

My heart tremble for Thy presence
May Thy spirit be upon me, Oh!Lord...

New Technique of suicide



Love is so sweet..

Sweet has sugar..

But more sugar means disease.

That means sugar is poison.

Then what are you waiting for..

Just go and find LOVE..

My Dream House.


As a child,I used to dream of a house, My house.. It was not a usual 3 or 4 block building as everyone likes their homes to be. I like to live in a calm and peaceful place where there are people who are like angels..Well, I am not saying that where I live now is a hell, but I wanna live in a more peaceful place ,where I will have all my friends with me,or atleast some friends with me.
I want my house to be a small one ,with 3 or 4 rooms ,surrounded by a big garden. My house will be colored with my favourite green,violet or some other colors that bring peaceful thoughts to mind.There will be a lot of tres in my garden. Even though i dont plant any flowering plants,there will be almost all flowering plants in my garden ,that grew up themselves.There will be birds in every tree making their chirp-chip voices every now and then.There will be no bounds for my house , for there are no thiefs in and around the place. No one will ever go bare handed , who ever comes to my house. There will be places of my interest , lots of places to sit and marvel ,to enjoy the beautiful nature.I want my house always to be a dream house,so that it will remain in my dreams forever.

The beauty that is available in the countryside is out of description. Situated near the Arabian sea,Goa owns a culture that is not its own. The culture of Goa is mixed mostly with the portuguese and the french people. Most of the people residing here are descendents of Portuguese who once ruled the place. The Portuguse who came to India for trade,first landed in Goan shores,establishing their main station there. They conquered the Indian states one by one which were at that time scattered into small states , ruled by weak kings and landloards.



Renowned for its beaches, Goa is visited by hundreds of thousands of international and domestic tourists each year. Goa is also known for its temples and world heritage archtecture including the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa, which makes it one of the biggest Christian pilgrimage sites in Asia.Goa has rich flora and fauna, owing to its location on the Western Ghats range, which is a biodiversity hotspot.

The most popular celebrations in Goa are Christmas,Easter,Ganesh Chaturthi,Divali,NewYear'sDay,Shigmo and the Carnival. Since the 1960s, the celebrations of the Shigmo and carnival have shifted to the urban centres, and in recent times these festivals are seen more as a means of attracting tourists. Celebrations for all festivals usually last for a few days and include parties and balls.
Western English songs have a large following in most parts of Goa. Traditional Konkani folk songs have a sizable following.Manndo, the traditional Goan music which originated in the 19th century, is sung and danced on special occasions.

Some influences from the Portuguese era are visible in some of Goa's temples, notably the Mangueshi , although after 1961, many of these were demolished and reconstructed in the indigenous Indian style.

Environmental Pollution and its control

Pollution can take many forms. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the ground where we grow our food, and even the increasing noise we hear every day—all contribute to health problems and a lower quality of life.

Environmental pollution is on the increase. Exhaust emissions from vehicles are adversely affecting the air quality in cities. Toxic elements have started entering the food chain. Inefficient water management is leading to increase in various communicable and water-borne diseases. Solutions devised to protect and regenerate the environment have not shown any tangible results so far. Industries, power generation plants, automobiles are the major cause of air pollution. Some of the highly polluting industries are metal smelting, cement, dyes, fertilizers, steel, leather, pesticides, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, paper, and refineries

Serious health problems are caused by the presence of fly ash in the air. Since fly ash production is only going to increase rapidly, the situation is only going to get worse. Fly ash is responsible for air pollution and wastage of land that could be used to grow crops. This same fly ash can be put to good use for building roads and pavements. It can be used to fill mines and make cement. Although technology is available to put fly ash to good use it is hardly being used for this purpose. Small scale industries located in residential areas are also major causes of pollution and related health risks. The government should have an incentive scheme for industries that install pollution control devices. Certain areas have crossed the maximum limit for allowable pollution while some areas can bear an additional pollution load. The government should identify such areas and carry out pollution carrying capacity studies of these areas.


Major forms of pollution and major polluted areas


The major forms of pollution are listed below along with the particular pollutants relevant to each of them:

Air pollution is the release of chemicals and particulates into the atmosphere. Common substances that cause air pollution include CO2, SO2, CFCs(chloro fluro carbon), and NOx produced by industry and motor vehicles. Photochemical ozone and smog are created as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons react to sunlight.
Water Pollution is mainly due to surface runoff, leaching to groundwater, liquid spills,wastewater discharges,eutrophication and littering.

Soil Contamination occurs when chemicals are released by spill or underground storage tank leakage. The most significant contaminants are hydrocarbons,heavy metals, herbicides,pesticides and chlorinated hydrocarbons .
Noise Pollution, includes roadway noise,aircraft noise, industrial noise ,high-intensity sonar etc.

Light Pollution, includes light trespass, over-illumination and astronomical interference.
Visual Pollution refers to the presence of overhead power-lines motorway bill-boards, scarred landforms open storage of trash or municipal storage waste.
Thermal pollution, is a temperature change in natural water bodies caused by human influence,like the use of water as coolant in a power plant.
