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.

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

Dates : 5th March, 2010.

Here are few funny statements I have heard that a girl can not do when she has her periods

1. She can’t touch God [ this is the most common one, that everyone knows and most of them believes it ]
2. She is not supposed to touch her husband [ husband becomes weak ]
3. She is not supposed to touch papad (its an Indian food) [ it becomes red when you roast it ]
4. She is not supposed to touch other people in the house [ I guess others will die ? ]
5. She is not supposed to be touched by others [ oh i dont have any reason for this ]
6. She must wash her hair on the third day [ don't ask me the reason... please ]
7. Her clothes are not suppose to be washed with others clothes [ oky I wont give reasons for every sentence ..because thrs no logic ]
8. Even after her clothes are washed .. others wont touch her thm [ thn wht.. are you going to keep her cloths hanging? ]
9. The dish in which she has had her food wont be touched by other till its washed [ c'mon, if you don't touch it, how will it be washed ever ? .. you are as it is not letting her move from one place ha .. ]
10. She suppose to sit in a corner and not move anywhere [ !!!!!!!!! ]
11. She is not supposed to touch the water filter
12. She is not suppose to touch pickle
13. Basically she is not suppose to touch anything in the kitchen
14. She is not supposed to touch plants [ they will die... (what crap?) ]
15. If some one is dead, the girl who’s periods are on must not go near thm, or in that house and near the people in that house [No clue why]

I cant recollect other things .. but i m sure I will … and will update the list of the things girls cant do in periods

Apart from all these stupid things I have mentioned … what I am trying to say is

Its really imp and necessary to educate world that it is biological thing for women and not a curse..
Please please please don’t treat girls as if they have done some sin … set them free… don’t keep your orthodox thinking as it is..
grow up … the world and time is moving faster then anyone can even imagine….

she just thinks that her self and her family is the best and perfect… and rest all is bad ..

this is to you lady -

you are the most pathetic person on this earth, if I get a chance I will get all your family secrets out to your relatives …

thn I will see how you speak about others and how you behave rudely to others …

Ifeel like abusing her like hell and give a tight punch on her face so that she cant speak for the rest of her life…

till now i useto feel that “ooh its so bad that her family is suffering from this pain” , but now i feel its good that she is having this pain , i am actually happy  …

she must be punished this way only … blody people dont see what is in thr house and talk about others …

when they need us they be good to us .. and when we try to be friendly with thm and try to help thm because they need us, they become monster … its not even that we need her … its not that we are living on her money … still she acts like this …

i wish i could write her name and exactly what she is doing .. I would have shown her true face to her whole family ..

she will repay … its said that “You reap what you sow” … she will get good amount of pain in her life …

and thn I will actually tell her .. that this is the return for what you had done in past…

you have tracking ID but www.indiapost.gov.in shows

“The movement particulars of RJxxxxxxxxxGB are as follows:
No data available at present”

And this is the status from the first day.

Now you decide to call and inquire at the Indian Speed Post Office, you find the number from just dial

You get these numbers of Andheri West post office – 26288290/ 26283040

On one of these numbers they ask you to call at foreign post office, Foreign post office number given by them is – 22613780

Now foreign post office gives this number – 22611791 and ask you to talk to Mr.gayakwad or Mr.rane, according to foreign post office people this is their call center [ my first question is , how can you have 2 people in your call center? , anyways ]

And one of those two gives this number – 26156874

Here i get a new kind of information which says .. the post first goes to Delhi and thn comes to Bombay.. and they gave a new number which they say is of Delhis number – 01126882756 … And when you call them on Delhi number…

guess what? 
You get this msg : “This number you have dialed is under shift”

Now you go to the www.indiapost.gov.in again… and you find these two number which are actually mentioned as “Speed Post information, Complaints and tracking problems” and the numbers are – 1800119888 / 26156125.

None of the numbers connects…

Now since its Friday, you decide to wait for the weekend get over

Saturday …

Sunday …

Monday - you decide to call, but at the second thought you don’t call thinking you might get the post today…but you don’t…

Tuesday - you call them, you dial 26156874, 22613780, 26156125, 22611791… No luck… none of the phones connects… and even if they do, all you hear is… tring tring tring tring…

Again you dial 26156874 finally this time someone picks up the phone.. And you get a number 22611791.. Okay this one is the same number you were dialing since long… but its okay… let me dial again…

And guess what? … Someone picks up this time … gr8 … hope I get some information this time …
And the information you get is… dial this number 26156874… [This is the same number who gave me your number dude....]

But before you say this… Your phone is disconnected… [May be the person on the other end is in a meeting with CM...]
You redial and give the explanation…

But in return you get to hear that [rudely] “this is not the place where you will get the information about your documents… you dial the number I have given …. you will get Mr.Borade on this number ask him about the details” [ okay ... this time i have got a new name Mr. Borade along with so many new numbers]

Then you decide to call your sister at London and ask her to send another copy of the document through a private courier because other thn the status of my post i have got lot of numbers and names from our very own Governments so called speed post which is not atall helpful..this is how our Indian Governments Speed Post works, which is not at all speedy.

UPDATE:

and now one of thm at andheri post office is saying .. you wont get any info online or on phone.. you take your Tracking ID and go personally to the post office …

and now we are trying this thing too.. lets c if we get any [at least] info about the post …

UPDATE:

After reaching thr … telling thm the issue.. giving the tracking Id.. they did the same that they asked me to do …

calling on 5-6 numbers of thr different branches..

and in the end they said .. the post goes to Delhi and thn comes to Bombay …[ tell me something new, I am ready for all new crap after a long search operation ]

I don’t expect my post to reach at my place…. my sister has already sent another copy through private courier …

Dear Government,
Your employees thm self cant find something in thr own departments.. even they have to do the same that we do.. anyways I don’t expect anything from you now …

Thank you..

Megha Ganatra.
