Say No To Fire Crackers.

Let us say no to Diwali Firecrackers.  It is like burning money and wasting it all.  It gives us nothing but pollution.  When I was a kid, I did burned crackers unknowingly but as soon as I grew up and knew about the amount of pollution it spreads I decided not to buy or support crackers ever after.  I am having a very bad time trying to compromise with the loud noise my fellow citizens are creating.  They even bursts noisy crackers late at night when everyone sleeps.  What is shocking is that it seems no one bothers to complain.  That means people are OK with it.  I want to know where in India people do not celebrate Diwali and I want to spend my Diwali in that city.  At least I will be able to walk on the street safely.  Here in India on a Diwali night chances are that you might get hit with a firecracker and get yourself badly burnt.  I remain indoors on every Diwali and never celebrate this day because other people just do not care about those persons who do not like firecrackers. 

Enjoy Durga Puja 2010 with Rains

Durga Puja celebrations may be hampered by rains.  Weather report shows cloud formation over Bay of Bengal and Orissa.  There will be thousands of people on the roads.  Rains will create traffic jams.  Even accidents can happen.  Sometimes, there are potholes on the roads as well as on the footpaths of Kolkata (Calcutta).  A little rain will cause flood like situation on the roads.  That means people may accidentally fall into those potholes.  Sometime manholes are kept open so that the water drains out into the sewage system.  People can fall into those open manholes and have a major accident. 

Therefore, we need to be careful when we go out during the rains.  Always carry an umbrella with you in case you are trapped.  Recharge your mobile with sufficient balance so that you can communicate with others in any kind of emergency situations.  Use public transport instead of your own vehicle.  This will eliminate the problem of parking as we all know that in Kolkata (Calcutta) we do not have much space of parking.  And not to mention there will be car & bike thieves here and there watching you. 

Reliance Industries & The Indian Stock Market

I do not know what has happened to Reliance Industries in the past few months.  What I can see is that the stock price is gradually falling down from Rs.1094.00 to Rs.980.00.  Even the Indian Stock Market is dull past two months.  Reliance Industries is the leader of all stocks and moves whenever the bulls come in.  But now nothing seems to be moving.  Experts predicted that Reliance Industries will cross the Rs.1200.00 mark but this seems to be not happening so soon.  I hope speed will pick up in the Stock Markets as I believe that the bulls cannot stay out of the markets much longer.  They will not make much money if they keep their money in fixed investments.  They have to invest in the markets or else they loose out if they are waiting for bottom fishing.  Lets hope we see some action in the next comming weeks.

Install Cameras around the runway

Plane crash happens often in the world.  Some of them are even video taped.  In the case of Mangalore plane crash, there is no video footage of the actual crash landing.  Had there been a video footage from any angle, then the cause of the plane crash could have been determined by experts.  Money is being spent in the name of airport security and CCTV cameras have been installed inside as well as outside the airports.  However, we still do not have cameras to cover the whole runway so that every take-off as well as landing can be video taped.

Most plane accidents happens either in mid-air or during take-off & landing.  Video footage of mid-air mishaps totally depends on the public who may tape the whole incident.  What about mishaps during take-off and landing?  If small cheap cameras in multiple numbers are installed around the runway, then every accident that happens on the runway can be documented and investigated by experts who can take action and prevent such accidents from happening in future.  In the case of Mangalore plane crash, experts have to depend on the remaining evidence like black box, voice recorder and may be some witness like survivors.

My eBay Business - How I started?

I started my eBay business in 2006.  It was not a business at all.  But just a casual selling.  The first item I sold on eBay India was a Tintin Comics.  I auctioned it for 7 days and got a good price.  Though the customer paid eBay online, I was paid by eBay via Demand Draft.  After receiving the money I shipped the item via courier.  eBay has a good presence in the United States.  Most people there who sell online use eBay regularly.  However, here in India, eBay is yet to make a difference in the online sales and marketing world.  I can see that they are trying very hard by improving services to its customers as well as launching new ads for television.  There are many issues regarding eBay which I will post in my blog in the comming days.

Happy New Year (2010)

First of all, I wish all my readers A very Happy New Year.  So, now we are in 2010.  And today is the first day of 2010.  What do you think, how will this year be for us?  Any of you planning to go for a family picnic?  So far I have not planned anything.  Last night around midnight I was watching the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace on Star Movies.  I did not switch to the news channels or any other hindi channels like Star Plus, Zee TV or Sony, etc.  I did not go out to see although I heard a lot of fire crackers bursting loudly at the stroke of midnight.

I woke up late today as the stock markets in India we closed.  I had rice and chicken in my lunch.  I really need to eat some hot chicken as its too cold here.  I will be going out now and have a walk nearby shops and see how others are enjoying this new day of this new year.  Please write something in the comment box.  This will help me write more.  I also need to understand the choice of my readers.  Please do share with me your thoughts on this blog post.  Thankyou.
