Tonight 1:30 to 4:30 cosmic rays will be entering earth 4rm mars so kindly switch off your mobile phones tonight – nasa bbc news- please pass this message to all your friends for safety.

Started Googling about it, and found that its a fake message, Friends dont panic or spread such SMS or Email to anyone, NASA and BBC also does not have this news as the headlines or even normal news on their website, so how can just a random person predict such thing?

While searching about this message I tumbled upon a site where I also found that this message is been revolving around since more then a year and after that when I have Googled about it, its become almost 2 years,
So Since 2 Years till today their is no such Cosmic Ray that has yet entered Earth, and I dont think it will come and harm you today too.

So friends, don’t believe such Mails and dont fwd such SMS, the phone companies are making money out of this and you are loosing your hard earned money,

So just press that Delete button for such SMS or Email.

EnjoyYY!!!

I had mentioned this last year [2009] too about Eco Friendly Ganpati, and here want to spread this message once again,

Its about Eco Friendly Ganpati, the festival brings lots of happiness to peoples heart and home, but what about the environment ?

No one thinks about the environment even after told again and again to not to pollute the environment,

Because of Ganpati Immersion our water is getting polluted alot, here you get to see the condition of water,

Source: E-Coexist

and here is what happens to the Fishes because of the chemical they use in making the idol

Source: E-Coexist

Why do you want to drink such water, even though it gets purified and comes to you, but look what you do to it,

Now to stop this, we are the one who can help it, we those who get Ganpati at home, because there are n-number of small Ganpati’s being immersed  everyyear, and we can reduce the polution by buying eco friendly Ganpati and immersing those at the artificial ponds.

To check the idols , just visit the website and you will get to see them. you need to go and book the idol at the place near you.. from the list given above… [we need to book the idol around 2 months in advance]

They make these idols using Clay, they colour the idol with natural colours like  Haldi, Kumkum and Geru

The best part about these idols is that you can immerse the idol at home in a bucket full of water and once its melted, you can just pour the water and clay into your garden or under a tree.

For those who must be wondering if Eco Friendly is costly, then its a big NO to this question, these idols are not so costly, it must be around 100 to 200 Rs more then the plaster idols.

Here is the direct link to the idols : Eco Friendly Ganpati Idol

You can follow them on Facebook also here : E-Coexits on Facebook

To spread the awareness Nirmitee Gallery somewhere in Mumbai had arranged exhibition named Vakratund Mela in 2009, they displayed Eco Friendly Ganpati, and informed the people visiting the mela the importance of being Eco Friendly,

So Friends, lets help our Environment, Buy Eco friendly Ganapati, immerse them at home in bucket or the artificial Ponds near your Home…

It was earlier that we couldnt locate from where to buy an Eco Friendly Idol, but now when it has become so easy that we can Buy these Idols so easily near by our house, THEN WHY NOT ?

If we take one step ahead, others will surly join us.. lets move towards Green and Safe Mumbai.

Just saw second example, one is in my family and other a neighbour, the kid was not interested in studying, but the father must have asked him to atleasst complete graduation

But he didnt do that because he wanted his son to continue his business… the plan was if he doesnt study further, he will continue the family business and name,

And he was successfull.

But now the son is feeling the need of education and want to be a free bird, and arguing with father.

So those kids, who think education is boring, please wake up, get educated, if not anything else then complere the graduation atleast.

And parents, dont stop your kids from completing their studies, even if they want to, please encorage them to study,

EDUCATION IS AN IMPORTANT THING IN TODAYS WORLD.

How can they do something like this to the students right before 15 days of exams, how can  they announce such pathetic news?

Students who has taken tuitions or classes will get the guidance but what about those who are studying on thr own?

How can the University be so irresponsible for announcing such a big thing so late?

Half of the students dont even know what is Old and Revised Syllabus, how are they going to come out of such a big shock ?

This is really a shameful thing on the university’s end, i am really disappointed at the University people, they must not do such thing to the students.

Here is what university has Announced on their site:

UNIVERSITY OF MUMBAI – INSTITUTE OF DISTANCE AND OPEN LERANING (IDOL)
T.Y.B.Com Students will appear old syllabus. All the IDOL Students appearing for T.Y. B.Com Examination, Conducted in April 2010, have to attempt the old question paper, as per old syllabus in the following subjects

2. Financial Accounting and Auditing Paper ? II ( Costing & Auditing)
3. Financial Accounting and Auditing Paper ? III (M.A.)
4. Direct & Indirect Taxes .

Dates : 5th March, 2010.

This actually defines what “Titiksha” is and wants to do.

Titiksha is the NGO formed My Friends group including Me .
The Team is – Dhairya, Nikunj, Jaineel, Kinjal, Virti, Dhara & Megha [Including few more members]

And now when our first projects is almost on the verge to take place, it actually feels so great to be a part of it and feels like the day should come as soon as possible so that we can live those moments

After lots of meetings, lots of discussions, lots of this and that we have our first project with a school called N.M.K Municipal School at Cottongreen [next to Shivri], its a municipal school where poor kids comes to study who has less money to study and could stay back in future because of lack of knowledge after 10th, the school is till 10th standard, and we are having a camp in association with Jetking Institute of computer technology to make the kids aware about the computer hardware.

This small camp might not strike all the kids attending the camp, but if even one kid gets inspiration from the camp and come further to study more and wish to make his/her career, it will be a successful attempt of “Titiksha”

A day to make the kids happy, see smile on thr face, 5th September 07 , Teachers Day is our another camp in the same school , we are having Cultural event with these kids, it will be a 4 To 5 hours event on Teachers day.

BTW if you want to help these kids, you are most welcome to join in Titiksha Team
and if you just wanna be one of the spectators , you are most welcome for that too

let me end the post now, will be updating about the camps once they are over..

Megha Patel.

well i was actually logging in to orkut.. and found this.

so this reminded me of yahoo.. they always have new new stuff on the home page where they play with YAHOO at the left corner on the top of the page … i opened it but they have not updated it with anything related to Independence Day… but i am sure gonna copy that the way i have copied orkut ….

now.. the real gyan….

i stole this thing from wikipedia for everybody…. atleast for the people who has a problem with GK .. hehe mine is very poor… so check this now…

and…

while traveling to airport in a rickshaw… I found these poor kids selling India’s Flag on the traffic signals… and a thought struck my mind… i was wondering if these people even know what is this Flag for ? , or do they even know that 15th August is our Independence Day? , and if yes, do they even know why do we celebrate this day ?

I am planning to find it out.. lets see …. if I did it.. I am sure gonna post about it..

Gyan Over….

BTW….. Happy Independence Day
Megha Patel.

Yeh… made My first Page, I was so proud on my self

I showed it to Boss, he complimented with some suggestions acording to new way of coding, I was so happy

But what is this? .. He said don’t do HTML, do XHTML.

Oh God, then you should have first only told me to learn XHTML.
My first question was what is XHTML?
He said its HTML only..
hehe good answer Boss, I am impressed, but please explain briefly
Ok Megha, The answer is
XHTML stands for EXtensible HyperText Markup Language
XHTML is aimed to replace HTML
XHTML is almost identical to HTML 4.01
XHTML is a stricter and cleaner version of HTML
XHTML is HTML defined as an XML application
XHTML is a W3C Recommendation 

All right, all right
So in simple words XHTML is the updated version of HTML, finish it off in short yaar

hehe
So now I am going to learn XHTML, wish me luck, I hope Boss doesn’t come up with YHTML or ZHTML after this

P.S- The New Job is Fun, The boss is so smart
