STRAWBERRY ICE LOLLIES

STRAWBERRY ICE LOLLIES

Ice lolly is basically fruit juice converted to flavored ice. I realized that it’s a good way to make children have fruits. Fruits can be included in your kid’s diet by presenting it in a fun and creative way.

We have been buying ice lollies from supermarkets since ages but imagine making them at home. Fresh, pure, unadulterated and it definitely tastes better. It’s simple to make at home, you just need fresh fruits (here I have used strawberries), Ice lolly moulds and a deep freezer that’s it…so…simple. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare and few hours to freeze. So plan early if you want to present this dessert to guests or to your kids.

Ingredients

Strawberries – 500g

Water -100ml

Castor Sugar – 100g

Method

De-stem and wash the strawberries and chop the strawberries into pieces. Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until it becomes one uniform mixture. Pour the mixture into the ice lolly moulds and freeze until solid.

You can avoid sugar from this recipe if the fruits are already sweet. But since strawberry is sour I added sugar to the recipe.

Makes about 10 -12 ice lollies, depending on the size of the moulds.

Rettaisuzhi Movie Review

Two groups of children locking horns with each other and at the same time two old men behind these two groups. In comes a love story which unites them all and the enemity is forgotten in the end for a happy ending. Does the above mentioned storyline seem all too familiar? Yes, it is nothing new but a slight change made to the hit film "Pasanga". The only difference between "Pasanga" and "Rettaisuzhi" is that the former was a fresh idea while the latter is a copy which fails to even qualify to be compared.

The team that made "Rettaisuzhi" can boast of big names like K Balachander, Bharatirajaa, Director Shankar, Karthik Raja etc but they were no match when compared to the small names that made an interesting film in "Pasanga". Ramasamy (Balachander) and Singaravelan (Bharatirajaa) lock horns 40 years ago due to an election result. The enemity continues and ardently followed by the tiny tots in the village.

Suseela (Anjali) a relative of Singaravelan is the school teacher in the village and her love interest happens to be Moorthy (Debutant Ari) who happens to be brought-up by Ramasamy. The fighting tots in the village forget their enemity to join the lovers and they plan to bring the two old men together. There is enough scope for twists and entertainment in a story like this but director Thamira has failed to understand the plot and it seems that he has been backing the acting of the two legends of tamil cinema to sail through in the movie.

The disappointment is how did Director Shankar accept to produce this movie? Probably, he might have been busy with "Endhiran" which would have made him give the nod without even listening to the story. In terms of acting Balachander fails squarely whereas Bharatirajaa has proven his class. Anjali after "Angadi Theru" does not have the requisite scope for acting while Debutant Ari looks like an one-film actor. Music by Karthik Raja is a disappointment but nothing as bad when compared to the man at the helm Thamira.

Rettaisuzhi - a movie to be forgotten at the earliest.

Sun as you have never seen before - NASA Picture

Forget Iceland's volcano. If you want to see a really big eruption, you need to head to the Sun.

This astonishing image - captured by a new Nasa space telescope - shows a ferocious solar flare looping out the Sun with the power of 100 hydrogen bombs. The ring of fire, heated to tens of millions of degrees, stretches out tens of thousands of miles  - and is so big it could contain more than 100 Earths.

It is just one of the spectacular images from a new satellite which it says could give fresh insight into how the Sun works.

The pictures were taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which is the most advanced spacecraft ever designed to study the Sun.

Some of the images show never-before-seen detail of material streaming outward and away from sunspots. Others show extreme close-ups of activity on the Sun’s surface.

'These amazing images, which show our dynamic sun in a new level of detail, are only the beginning of SDO's contribution to our understanding of the Sun,' he said.

 

Ring of fire: Known as a 'prominence eruption', this is a loop of gas heated to an extremely high temperature. Twisted magnetic fields on the Sun's surface cause the gas to be shaped like this. This image was captured by the satellite on March 30

 

 

 

 

Full power: An extreme ultraviolet image of the Sun shows different gas temperatures - reds are about 59,727C, blues and greens are about 999,727C

 

 

 

What is thermonuclear reaction in sun?

Nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is a reaction between two nuclei that combine together to form a heavier nuclei. The sun shines thanks to fusion reactions that turn hydrogen nuclei into helium.

GREEN ZONE

WEAPONS OF MASS-DESTRUCTION : Does this phrase ring a bell ???

OH !! Of course it must ,this was the very agenda used by the U.S political heavyweights to invade IRAQ ,Have they ever succeeded in finding such weapons ????

Obviously the answer is a BIGGGGGGG "NO" ,everyone in the right senses knew from the onset of the IRAQ WAR that there would never be any such weapons there ,then why did they ever invade that nation ???

I feel very SORRY for all the poor souls who believed that the U.S politicians were invading IRAQ to get rid of SADDAM HUSSEIN & help the people ,its OIL my dear poor souls ,its the one & only reason why IRAQ was invaded.

PLOT: " An American chemical weapons officer decides to discover as to whats really happening in IRAQ after he finds out that there no chemical weapons there. "



If you ever wanna see a film that would enlighten you about the facts on the Invasion of IRAQ then look no further ,this film delivers all the knockout punches to the U.S administration's role in this so-called WAR.

"GREEN ZONE" directed by Paul Greengrass of Bourne Ultimatum fame is an edge of the seat action thriller from the start & sustains its momentum till the end.

I was very impressed by this film's trailer that i was waiting for the film's release for a looong time & my patience was well worth because the film effectively brought out the harsh ground realities in IRAQ.

Being a film revolving around the military & political circles of the U.S ,its ambience was one of the best i had ever seen.A perfect sync i should say ,the attitude & body language of the cast to fitted perfectly.

The casting was a major assest to the film ,all of them contributed.Credit must be given to the director for extracting the cast's potential.

Matt Damon was impeccable in his role ,he has lived up to the expectations i had on him.Carrying out his role with ease ,he fitted the fill role completely.

Adapted from the book by Rajiv Chandrasekaran ,the screenplay was very racy & at the sametime did not loose out on the issue in hand ,the writers too had done their part well.

Thanks to the use of hand held cameras the action taking place in the film was very real ,i felt like sitting in the middle of a battlefield ,we can actually feel the tension & adrenaline that would happen within a soldier.

The various facets of the U.S administartion were clearly portaryed here ,with each & every department having ugly secrets of their own ,its the soldiers who pay the ultimate price.

The issue of anguish & hardship that the soldiers face in IRAQ while the bureaucrats enjoy the luxuries inside their hotels will were very disturbing for the families of soldiers who had lost their loved ones there.

There are lots of countries in the world where people face untold sufferings but for the people of IRAQ their sufferings were heard by the U.S administration because the people of IRAQ had what they wanted ,its "OIL".

SO is "OIL" really the weapon of mass-destruction that U.S politicians were talking about ???????

• Director : Paul Greengrass

• Writer : Brian Helgeland , Adapted from the book by Rajiv Chandrasekaran

• Cast : Matt Damon , Brendan Gleeson , Yigal Naor , Greg Kinnear

• Rating : "PG" for some war violence.

P.S: "Many of the soldiers in film were actual Iraq War and Afghanistan War veterans, not actors. "

10 Simple Google Search Tricks

I’m always amazed that more people don’t know the little tricks you
can use to get more out of a simple Google search. Here are 10 of my
favorites.

1. Use the “site:” operator to limit searches to a particular site. I
use this one all the time, and it’s particularly handy because many
site’s built-in search tools don’t return the results you’re looking
for (and some sites don’t even have a search feature). If I’m looking
for WWD posts about GTD, for example, I could try this search: GTD
site:webworkerdaily.com.

2. Use Google as a spelling aid. As Rob Hacker — the WWD reader I
profiled last week — pointed out, entering a word into Google is a
quick way to see if you have the right spelling. If it’s incorrect,
Google will suggest the correct spelling instead. Additionally, if you
want to get a definition of a word, you can use the “define:” operator
to return definitions from various dictionaries (for example, define:
parasympathetic).

3. Use Google as a calculator. Google has a built-in calculator — try
entering a calculation like 110 * (654/8 + 3). Yes, your computer also
has a calculator, but if you spend most of your day inside a browser,
typing your calculation into the browser’s search box is quicker than
firing up your calculator app.

4. Find out what time it is anywhere in the world. This one’s really
handy if you want to make sure that you’re not phoning someone in the
middle of the night. Just search for “time” and then the name of the
city. For example, try: time San Francisco

5. Get quick currency conversions. Google can also do currency
conversion, for example: 100 pounds in dollars. It only has the more
mainstream currencies, though — if you’re trying to see how many
Peruvian nuevos soles your dollars might buy, you’ll be out of luck.
If you would like to convert minor currencies, be sure to be specific
about the country. So, if you want to find out how many nuevos soles
your dollars might buy, you could try: 100 dollars in Peruvian nuevos
soles.

6. Use the OR operator. This can be useful if you’re looking at
researching a topic but you’re not sure which keywords will return the
information you need. It can be particularly handy in conjunction with
the “site:” operator. For example, you could try this search: GTD OR
“getting things done” site:webworkerdaily.com

7. Exclude specific terms with the – operator. You can narrow your
searches using this operator. For example, if you’re looking for
information about American Idol but don’t want anything about Simon
Cowell, you could try: “american idol” -cowell

8. Search for specific document types. Google can search the web for
specific types of files using the “filetype:” operator. If you’re
looking for PowerPoint files about GTD, for example, you could try:
GTD filetype:ppt

9. Search within numerical ranges using the .. operator. Say, for
example, you want to look for information about Olympic events that
took place in the 1950’s, you could use this search: Olympics
1950..1960

10. Area code lookup. Need to know where a phone number is located?
Google will let you know where it is, and show you a map of the area,
too. For example: 415

Top 10 extraordinary people in the world

1. Kim Ung-Yong: Attended University at age 4, Ph.D at age 15; world’s highest IQ

This Korean super-genius was born in 1962 and might just be the smartest guy alive today (he’s recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as having the highest IQ of anyone on the planet). By the age of four he was already able to read in Japanese, Korean, German, and English. At his fifth birthday, he solved complicated differential and integral calculus problems.. Later, on Japanese television, he demonstrated his proficiency in Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, German, English, Japanese, and Korean. Kim was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records under “Highest IQ”; the book estimated the boy’s score at over 210.
Kim was a guest student of physics at Hanyang University from the age of 3 until he was 6. At the age of 7 he was invited to America by NASA. He finished his university studies, eventually getting a Ph.D. in physics at Colorado State University before he was 15. In 1974, during his university studies, he began his research work at NASA and continued this work until his return to Korea in 1978 where he decided to switch from physics to civil engineering and eventually received a doctorate in that field. Kim was offered the chance to study at the most prestigious universities in Korea , but instead chose to attend a provincial university. As of 2007 he also serves as adjunct faculty at Chungbuk National University .

2. Gregory Smith: Nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize at age 12

Born in 1990, Gregory Smith could read at age two and had enrolled in university at 10. But “genius” is only one half of the Greg Smith story. When not voraciously learning, this young man travels the globe as a peace and children’s rights activist.
He is the founder of International Youth Advocates, an organization that promotes principles of peace and understanding among young people throughout the world. He has met with Bill Clinton and Mikhail Gorbachev and spoke in front of the UN. For these and other humanitarian and advocacy efforts, Smith has been nominated four times for a Nobel Peace Prize. His latest achievement? He just got his driver license.

3. Akrit Jaswal: The Seven Year-Old Surgeon

Akrit Jaswal is a young Indian who has been called “the world’s smartest boy” and it’s easy to see why. His IQ is 146 and is considered the smartest person his age in India —a country of more than a billion people.
Akrit came to public attention when in 2000 he performed his first medical procedure at his family home. He was seven. His patient — a local girl who could not afford a doctor — was eight. Her hand had been burnt in a fire, causing her fingers to close into a tight fist that wouldn’t open. Akrit had no formal medical training and no experience of surgery, yet he managed to free her fingers and she was able to use her hand again.
He focused his phenomenal intelligence on medicine and at the age of twelve he claimed to be on the verge of discovering a cure for cancer.. He is now studying for a science degree at Chandigarh College and is the youngest student ever accepted by an Indian University

Jamieson then started to promote the show, printing glossy invitations and placing ads in the magazines Art Almanac and Art Collector, featuring the abstract work. Only then did he discover a crucial fact about the new artist: Aelita Andre is Kalashnikova’s daughter, and was just 22 months old. Jamieson was shocked and embarrassed but decided to proceed with the exhibition anyways.

6. Saul Aaron Kripke: Invited to apply for a teaching post at Harvard while still in high school

Watch Out for These Criminal Tricks

(1) Today I passed by a building which has an ATM machine. There was an old man looking at me. Suddenly, he called me. He said he did not know how to read, so he gave me his ATM card and asked me to help him withdraw money from the ATM machine. I answered ‘NO! If you need help, ask the security to help you.’ Then he said ‘never mind…’ and continued to find other people to help him…
REMEMBER: ATM machines have CCTVs. If you help him he will later claim that you have robbed him or stolen his ATM card. Besides, his ATM card could be a stolen one. So please be careful of these tactics.

(2) Suddenly your house lights go off. From your window you find that your neighbours still have their lights. So you go out of your house to check the Meter Box. But once you open the door, a knife will be pointing at you and preventing you from closing it. This is when you will be robbed and injured.
REMEMBER: Even though your electricity suddenly goes off, DO NOT opens your door immediately. Look around to see if there is anything unusual or if there is any noise around.

(3) This is another incident. You may have heard about it before; it is about a lady who saw a kid crying by the roadside. When she spoke to the kid, the kid told her he was lost and wanted her to take him home. The kid even gave her a paper with his house address. So she took him home. But when she rang the door bell, she had an electric shock. Later when she woke up, she was naked in an empty room.
REMEMBER: Being such a compassionate and helpful person might not be a good thing these days. Girls, please be careful. DON’T BE TOO KIND!

(4) One day, there was an old lady outside my house holding two packets of sweets. At first I thought she was our neighbour and wanted to give us these packs of sweets as a gift. But then when she spoke, I realize that she was foreigner. I could not understand what she was talking about. I guessed she must be asking for money. I sensed there was something wrong and immediately closed the door and ignored her. Later, I found she and an accomplice robbed someone else down the road.

(5) I was at the ATM machine to withdraw some money. Behind me, there was an old lady. She asked me whether I was able to withdraw my money because she said she had problem with the machine. Suddenly a small girl came up beside me. The small girl was tugging and squeezing in front of me. I thought she was just naughty and playful. But then, the small girl placed her hand inside the tray of the ATM machine where the money was being dispensed out; ready to take away my money. I sensed something wrong and immediately pushed her away. Later I realized that the small girl and the old lady worked hand in hand together. She was trying to steal my money while the old lady was trying to distract my attention by asking me questions!
REMEMBER: BE VERY CAREFUL when you are at an ATM machine and be alert. Look out for anyone suspicious around you!

(6) My parents are retired and stay at home most days. One afternoon, a young stranger went to their house and said his motorcycle had no more fuel and the petrol station was too far away, for him to push his bike there. So he asked my parents for an empty coke bottle to buy some petrol. He said he will pay RM2 for the bottle. So my mum gave one coke bottle to him. He really took out the money from his pocket, but it was a RM 100 note. He told my mum he had no small change and asked my mum to give him the change. Luckily my mum was smart. She just told him to take it for free.
REMEMBER: obviously that note is fake! Who would want to pay for RM2 for an empty coke bottle! It’s very OBVIOUS that that stranger was a trickster.

(7) This happened in Bali. A newly married couple was having their honeymoon at the hotel. When both were in the changing room, the wife suddenly went missing. The husband was very anxious and went around finding her. He asked the hotel staff to help him find her. Then he thought his wife was just playing hide and seek. So he went back and waited for his wife. After a few hours, he decided to call the police. Three weeks passed and there was still no news about his missing wife. So he went back and was very disappointed and sad. A few years later, he came back to Bali, to watch a ‘FREAK SHOW’ in an old house. He saw a dirty and rusty metal cage. Inside there was a lady without limbs. Her body including the face was full of scars. When he had a closer look at her face, he was shocked to find out that she was his missing wife caged there and used for begging.

(8) This happened in Shanghai. A few years ago, a lady reported to the police that her cousin sister was missing in the shopping complex. But after five years, one of her friends found her cousin sister begging at the road side on one of the streets in Bangkok, Thailand. The worst thing was that her cousin sister had no more limbs and her body was tied to a lamp post with a shackle (metal chain).

(9) Let’s just shorten this story. DO NOT open your house door when you hear the sound of a BABY CRYING! It might be a trap! Women in the house must be alert to this form of trick. The police said it is the work of a robber or murderer using the recording of a crying baby to attract your attention. This normally happens at night and when you are alone in the house.

(10) I read an e-mail that was sent by my friend. Her friend, known as A, went to Luo Hu Commercial City with 2 friends, B and C. Luo Hu Commercial City is known as the Shenzhen counterfeit goods distribution center. There are many people there. It’s also near to the Shenzhen train station and Hong Kong’s Luo Hu Port. C went to the toilet at the shopping centre while A and B waited outside. After waiting for a long time they felt uneasy and went into the toilet to look for her. When they went in, there was nobody inside. Both were scared and they called C’s phone. There was no reply. So they reported to the police. The police asked them whether they had seen anybody suspicious going into the toilet. Both said there was none and it’s impossible to bring a person out of the toilet without them noticing! Then I remembered seeing a cleaner pushing a trolley in, and then coming out of the toilet. The police told them that were not the first time such a thing happened there. The police suspected a gang of criminals who were always attacking women in the toilets of shopping complexes. They use cleaners to kidnap people to harvest their organs for sale.
REMEMBER: please be careful when using the toilet. Do not go to the wash room or toilet ALONE! Please at least have a partner with you.

Save Fuel - Driving Tips

Do not use the clutch too much.


Switch the vehicle off at red light stops.

Drive in gear corresponding to the speed.

Get your vehicle serviced regularly.

A poorly tuned engine can increase fuel consumption by up to 50%

Driving at 90 kilometers an hour rather than 100 can reduce fuel consumption by 10%

Under inflated tires can increase fuel consumption by 5%

A loaded roof rack will increase fuel consumption by as much as 5% in highway driving.

Even an empty roof rack can increase consumption by 1%. If the carrier is not attached to the vehicle, remove it when not in use.

Avoid "Jack Rabbit"(fast acceleration of a motor vehicle from a stationary position) starts, not only do they increase fuel consumption, but are hard on your tires. Anticipating stops and avoiding abrupt stops will decrease fuel consumption and increase the life of your brakes and tires.

Avoid unnecessary steering wheel movement since each sideward movement of the tire causes fuel-consuming drag.

Maintain a steady speed.

Accelerate slowly on gravel or slippery roads.

Avoid unnecessary braking.

Reviving the engine just before turning off the ignition costs extra fuel and may cause engine damage.

Take advantage of rolling resistance rather than heavy braking to help slow you down. This deceleration technique is one of the best for fuel saving.

Avoid using the air conditioner at lower speeds.

Changing spark plugs regularly can save a lot.

How Joint Home Loan can help save more tax

A home loan often means all the more caution with money management and monthly budgets. It also means some smart thinking on the part of the individual who is taking up the home loan.
Apart from things like evaluating fund flow, future job prospects, negotiating a pay hike, understanding loan eligibility, maintaining a good credit score and getting the best interest rate in the market, one also needs to consider the possibility of opting for a joint home loan.

Who can opt for it?

Banks insist that all co-owners of the home must be co-borrowers in a joint home loan.

• One could team up with parents or the spouse to be able to maximize the benefits of a joint home loan.
• Some banks allow brothers to take a joint home loan provided they opt to become co-owners of the property.

The exceptions are sisters, friends or unmarried couples living together as most banks generally don't allow them to opt for a joint home loan.

Key advantages of a joint home loan

a. Banks do not allow a person to borrow to an extent where their EMI exceeds more than around 40-50% of their monthly income. This ensures that there is no stress on an individual's monthly budget. Hence, when the incomes of all the joint applicants are combined to decide the loan eligibility, the result is a better loan amount for a better home.

b. All co-applicants are eligible for simultaneous tax rebates under Section 80 C for principal repaid and under Section 24 for interest repaid. However, these tax deductions are capped at Rs 1 lakh (Rs 100,000) for the principal repaid and Rs 1.5 lakh (Rs 150,000) for the interest repaid. Do note that this is applied for each individual loan applicant thus maximizing the tax benefits on the home loan.

If you and your spouse earn similar incomes, then its best to opt for an equal co-ownership of the property and split the tax benefits of the home loan equally as well.

In case one of you fall under a smaller tax bracket, it is good to let the partner with the higher pay make a higher contribution towards the home loan resulting in a better tax benefit collectively. This would help you optimize the benefits from the tax exemption on principal and interest repaid.

For instance, let us say the principal and interest repayment on your home loan for a given year is Rs 2.4 lakh (Rs 240,000) and Rs 3.5 lakh (Rs 350,000) respectively.

Now, under Section 80C, you can get a maximum tax deduction of Rs 1 lakh on principal repaid and under Section 24 you can get a tax break of up to Rs 1.5
lakh on interest repaid.

However, if you and your spouse have opted for a joint home loan, you would collectively be able to claim a deduction of Rs 2 lakh (Rs 200,000) and Rs 3 lakh (Rs 300,000) on the principal and interest repaid.

Do note that the tax benefits are according to the proportion of the loan. That is, if the ratio of the loan is 70:30, then a loan of say, Rs 50 lakh (Rs 5 million) will be split as Rs 35 lakh (Rs 3.5 million) and Rs 15 lakh (Rs 1.5 million), respectively, and this ratio will be applicable while calculating tax benefits on the interest and principal repaid on this loan.

Also keep in mind, that tax slabs might change according to new budget specifications each year and there could be changes in the gross income as well, not to mention changes in the total principal and interest repaid in every new year of the home loan.

In this respect, the interest repaid will become considerably lesser and the principal repaid will become higher during the latter years of the loan.

For tax purposes, it is best to procure a home sharing agreement, detailing the ownership proportion in a stamp paper, as legal proof for ownership.

So taking a joint home loan has the significant twin benefit of increasing your loan eligibility and maximizing your tax rebate. 

Do remember that though the banks insist that all co-owners of the property should also be co-applicants in a joint home loan, the reverse need not be true.

Bringing back MF Hussain to India.

Something worth reading
Bringing back MF Hussain to India.

* This is a Letter to the Editor of The Hindu, from a practising Christian lady who was Professor in Stella Maris College, Chennai till recently; now settled at Baroda, regarding an Edit in The Hindu in favour of bringing back MF Hussain to India.
Dear Ram,

I have taken time to write this to you Ram-for the simple reason that we have known you for so many years- you and The Hindu bring back happy memories Please take what I am putting down as those that come from an agonized soul. You know that I do not mince words and what I have to say I will-I call a spade a spade-now it is too late for me to learn the tricks of being called a ‘secularist’ if that means a bias for, one, and a bias against, another.

Hussain is now a citizen of Qatar-this has generated enough of heat and less of light. Qatar you know better than me is not a country which respects democracy or freedom of expression. Hussain says he has complete freedom- I challenge him to paint a picture of Mohammed fully clad.

There is no second opinion that artists have the Right of Freedom of expression. Is such a right restricted only to Hussain?
* Will that right not flow to Dan Brown-why was his film-Da Vinci Code not screened?
* Why was Satanic Verses banned-does Salman Rushdie not have that freedom of expression?
* Similarly why is Taslima hunted and hounded and why fatwas have been issued on both these writers?
* Why has Qatar not offered citizenship to Taslima?
* In the present rioting in Shimoga in Karnataka against the article Taslima wrote against the tradition of burqua which appeared in the Out Look in Jan 2007.
* No body protested then either in Delhi or in any other part of the country; now when it reappears in a Karnataka paper there is rioting. Is there a political agenda to create a problem in Karnataka by the intolerant goons?
* Why has the media not condemned this insensitivity and intolerance of the Muslims against Taslima’s views?
* When it comes to the Sangh Parivar it is quick to call them goons and intolerant etc. Now who are the goons and where is this tolerance and sensitivity?

Regarding Hussain’s artistic freedom it seems to run unfettered in an expression of sexual perversion only when he envisages the Hindu Gods and Goddesses. There is no quarrel had he painted a nude woman sitting on the tail of a monkey. The point is he captioned it as Sita. Nobody would have protested against the sexual perversion and his orientatation to sexual signs and symbols. But would he dare to caption it as ‘Fatima enjoying in Jannat with animals’?

Next example-is the painting of Saraswati copulating with a lion. Here again his perversion is evident and so is his intent. Even that lets concede cannot be faulted-each one’s sexual orientation is each one’s business I suppose. But he captioned it as Saraswati. This is the problem. It is Hussain’s business to enjoy in painting his sexual perversion.
* But why use Saraswati and Sita for his perverted expressions?
* Use Fatima and watch the consequence.
* Let the media people come to his rescue then.
* Now that he is in a country that gives him complete freedom let him go ahead and paint Fatima copulating with a lion or any other animal of his choice.
* And then turn around and prove to India-the Freedom of expression he enjoys in Qatar.

Talking about Freedom of Expression-this is the Hussain who supported Emergency-painted Indira Gandhi as Durga slaying Jayaprakas Narayan. He supported the jailing of artists and writers. Where did this Freedom of Expression go? And you call him secularist? Would you support the jailing of artists and writers Ram –would you support the abeyance of the Constitution and all that we held sacred in democracy and the excessiveness of Indira Gandhi to gag the media-writers- political opponents?
* Tell me honesty why does Hussain expect this Freedom when he himself did not support others with the same freedom he wants?
* And the media has rushed to his rescue. Had it been a Ram who painted such obnoxious, .degrading painting-the reactions of the media and the elite ‘secularists’ would have been different; because there is a different perception/and index of secularism when it comes to Ram-and a different perception/and index of secularism when it comes to Rahim/Hussain.

It brings back to my mind an episode that happened to The Hindu some years ago.[1991]. You had a separate weekly page for children with cartoons, quizzes, and with poems and articles of school children. In one such weekly page The Hindu printed a venerable bearded man-fully robed with head dress, mouthing some passages of the Koran-trying to teach children .It was done not only in good faith but as a part of inculcating values to children from the Koran. All hell broke loose. Your office witnessed goons who rushed in-demanded an apology-held out threats. In Ambur,Vaniambadi and Vellore the papers stands were burned-the copies of The Hindu were consigned to the fire. A threat to raise the issue in Parliament through a Private Members Bill was held out-Hectic activities went on-I am not sure of the nature and the machinations behind the scene. But The Hindu next day brought out a public apology in its front page. Where were you Ram? How secular and tolerant were the Muslims?

Well this is of the past-today it is worse because the communal temperature in this country is at a all high-even a small friction can ignite and demolition the country’s peace and harmony. It is against this background that one should view Hussain who is bent on abusing and insulting the Hindu Gods and Goddesses. Respect for religious sentiments, need to maintain peace and harmony should also be part of the agenda of an artist-if he is great. If it is absent then he cannot say that he respects India and express his longing for India.

Let’s face it-he is a fugitive of law. Age and religion are immaterial. What does the media want-that he be absolved by the courts? Even for that he has to appear in the courts-he cannot run away-After all this is the country where he lived and gave expression to his pervert sadist, erotic artistic mind under Freedom of Expression. I simply cannot jump into the bandwagon of the elite ‘secularist’ and uphold what he had done. With his brush he had committed jihad-bloodletting.

The issue is just not nudity-Yes the temples-the frescos in Konarak and Kajhuraho have nude figures-But does it say that they are Sita, Sarswati or any goddesses? We have the Yoni and the Phallus as sacred signs of Life-of Siva and Shakthi-take these icons to the streets, paint them -give it a caption it become vulgar. Times have changed. Even granted that our ancients sculptured and painted naked forms and figures, with a pervert mind to demean religion is no license to repeat that in today’s changed political and social scenario and is not a sign of secularism and tolerance. I repeat there is no quarrel with nudity-painters have time and again found in it the perfection of God’s hand craft.

Let me wish Hussain peace in Qatar-the totalitarian regime with zero tolerance. May be he will convince the regime there to permit freedom of expression in word, writing and painting. For this he could start experimenting painting forms and figure of Mohamed the Prophet-and his family And may I fervently wish that the media-especially The Hindu does not discriminate goons-let it not substitute tolerance for intolerance when it comes to Rahim and Antony and another index for Ram.

I hope you will read this in the same spirit that I have written. All the best to you Ram.

Dr Mrs Hilda Raja, Vadodara

LTA basics every employee has to know

After the hectic and tax-consuming year end March, its time to start planning for your next holiday.
Leave Travel Allowance (LTA) is granted to employees to meet the cost of travel, while
on leave from work, to any place in India. The amount of exemption depends upon the
mode of travel. The exemption is allowed only towards the travel fare, and not for
boarding and lodging. It is allowed twice in a block of four calendar years. The current
block is 2010-13. So, for the period 2010-13 you can claim this exemption for any two
occasions.
What happens if I am not able to claim the LTA in a particular block?
If in a particular block you are not able to claim LTA exemption for one or both journeys,
then one journey can be carried forward and can be claimed in the first calendar year of
the succeeding block. Thereafter, you can claim the remaining two journeys of that
particular block of four years.

Here is an example to clarify this nuance:
Pankaj was not able to perform any travel in the previous block, i.e., during 2006-09. He
can carry forward one journey to the current block, i.e., 2010-13 and claim it in 2010, the
first calendar year of the block. Thereafter, Pankaj can also claim the remaining two
journeys of the block 2010-13. In a way, he will be able to avail three exemptions in the
block 2010-13.

Is it mandatory for me to submit travel bills to the employer?
A Supreme Court judgment in 2009 made it clear that the employers do not have a
statutory obligation to collect travel bills from their employees to allow the LTA
exemption. However, many employers continue to pursue their old habit of requiring
employees to submit bills even though it is no longer mandatory.

What if I failed to claim LTA and my employer has deducted tax on the
LTA amount?
If you failed to claim LTA and your employer has deducted taxes on the amount paid,
you can claim the same in your income tax return. You can accordingly get a refund of
the tax that had previously been deducted.

Who all can accompany me on this travel for me to claim LTA?
The travel exemption is available for only the following:
· Your spouse and up to two children
· Your parents and brothers and sisters who are mainly dependent on you
You must be traveling with your family on the journey to claim LTA, otherwise the
journey will not be eligible for exemption.

Is the entire holiday cost covered?
No, the entire holiday cost is not covered. Only the cost of to and from travel is eligible.
Expenses incurred towards boarding and lodging or on local conveyance to and from the
station/airport do not qualify for exemption.

How is the exemption amount calculated? Is there any cap attached?
The travel concession received by the employee is exempt up to the amount spent on
travel or the following specified limits, whichever is less:

Mode of Transport Maximum	Exemption Limit
Air	Economy air fare on National Carrier by shortest route.
Any mode other than Air	i) Destination connected by rail: · First AC rail fare by shortest route. · ii) Destination not connected by rail: · Where recognized public transport system exist: · First class or deluxe class Rail fare · · Where recognized public transport system does not exist: · First AC rail fare for equivalent distance

The above can be summarized in words as the following: If you are travelling by air, then
the economy fare on the national carrier on the shortest route is the amount exempt. If
you are travelling by any other mode other than air, then if the destination is connected by
rail, the first class AC fare by train on the shortest route is exempt. For destinations not
connected by rail, where recognized public transport exists the first class or deluxe class
fare is exempt or where no recognized public transport exists AC first class rail fare is
exempt for equivalent distance.

Angaadi Theru

Money has taken various forms thoughout human history but whatever be the form the very means of earning them hasn't changed.

Some people have the luxury of having too much of them whereas there are others who toil day & night to make ends meet with the money they earn & yet there are people who almost are enslaved to the employer to earn that little amount.

Enter Ranganathan Street in T.Nagar ,most tourists are taken to this place whenever they visit Chennai.Tourists are made to believe that this place is the shopping hub of Chennai but maybe after this post they could think otherwise.

PLOT : " A reality check of the suffering the employees face working within the walls of many Shopping stores in Ranganathan Street. "



Vasanthabalan impressed one and all with his previous work "Veyil" which earned him loads of accolades & was screened at 2007 Cannes Film Festival.His next venture was eagerly expected & boy!!! He hasn't let us down.

"Angaadi Theru" ,which means "Shop Street" was an apt title for the film.The director has delivered a film that questions the very essence of professional ethics in a workplace ,his script has portrayed the harsh realities of the workplaces we go shopping for.

The entire process of how innocent people from village are brought to city with big dreams are made to labour almost 14 hours a day ,draining them out & the inhumane treatment metted out to them are extensively portrayed in the film.

The lead actors Mahesh ,Anjali , A. Venkatesh & Pandi are very impressive with their performances whether it might a dramatical or comical.

Anjali & Mahesh deserve special mention ,stealing the show throughout the film with scintillating acting ,after a loooooong time i have seen an actress sharing more screen space in Tamil Cinema.

"Aval appadi ondrum" song by Vijay Antony was mesmerizing to hear & see ,very soothing number in an otherwise intense film.

The movie never lost focus on the issue it catered making me feel ashamed of the very fact that i had actually shopped in these places ,watching the sufferings of the employees i might never go there again.

Different facets of life in & around Ranganathan Street are effectively brought out with a reality check ,these kinda films are very rare in Tamil Cinema ,i'm still clueless as to why these kinda films aren't made.

Government officials taking bribes to ignore all the atrocities committed by these shops are also not missed out here ,its not that money these people are getting ,its the money tainted with the blood drained out from the workers.

In other terms ,its BLOOD MONEY.All the government officials accepting these money will never realise that they are accepting a curse in the form of money.

Any person who watches this movie will surely leave with a heavy heart with lots of questions in mind ,as for the Tamilnadu Police & Politicians its nothing for them to worry about as long as the Shop owners in Ranganathan street send them their bribes.

• Director : Vasanthabalan

• Writer : Vasanthabalan

• Cast : Mahesh ,Anjali , A. Venkatesh , Pandi

• Rating : "PG" for some strong language & scenes.

P.S : "The film has mainly targeted Saravana Stores which is one of the leading shops in Ranganathan Street ,if anyone has an idea of going shopping there or to any nearby shopping complexes do watch this film & think ,its BLOOD MONEY you are spending. "
