So true. There are so many scammers on the internet. If one would be so naive, he can be the next victim.
-
People, esp. in America, can easily be tracked. One can find out so much if they use their names.
-

With all the cyber crimes being done nowadays, one should really be discerning when on social media. It is just so easy for another person to open an account using a fictitious name or a true name that belongs to a person and whose picture is that person’s.
That’s why for my protection, I chose to be one a private setting in social media. I only accept friends who are relatives, family and acquiantances that I like.
That way, no one can cyber bully me.
-
When that first person came on, spewing information, it was done as a ‘hook’ to get others to fall for it. That’s why you have to be so careful

I don’t understand, but was he released already or was still in jail? If he was a heinous criminal then why did they release him again.
Now, he is on the loose and has made that bombing again.
Imagine he is now 67 and has been jailed for quite sometime, yet he still hasn’t changed. He is still a terrorist.
I wonder if he is really a human being.
-
He is in jail; this ‘new’ charge has come up. And they want to charge him again. But he is in jail.

You are right, there is so much food wasted. If carefully managed, many people will not go hungry and prices of food commodities will go down. This requires efficient post-harvest facilities along with the right technology for the farmers. Biological control of pests like rats should be undertaken. Aside from cats or snakes that feed on rats, farmers should find its breeding places and eradicate them manually. For left-over foods in restaurants, there should be really a local law asking the management to donate to charity or to soup kitchens the left-over but still in good condition food.
It is sharing and proper management that can help solve food wastage.
-
It is true in our country itself there is not much of awareness even among the educated class who are well off. They feel that since they have paid for the food they can consume how much they want and waste the remaining which is very bad according to meaning. Being a Hindu food according us is nothing but Goddess Annapoornadevi who provides for every living being in life.
People should appreciate this and see that they do not waste food and abuse this noble Goddess. I really pity these people who call themselves educated. While there many good samaritans who give one fist rice for the purpose of charity from the food they cook for the house. That way the unfortunate can also have food and try for something better for their lives. It is a very complicated problem to eradicate rates. If food is there rats and other rodents are attracted and come immediately. The seem to be very intelligent too.

super post, that is really the good thing or best thing to have in your refrigerator, its not just something that helps, its treatment for many issues and its benefits are alot for your face, your body or hair, your mind soul and all. I like honey alone or with tea or cake or sweets in general , sometimes for family i put it with cornflakes or sweet or ginger or so.
that is really good post and thanks again for the nice tips there and i heard that honey at morning is the best thing to start your breakfast -
Honey is a superfood. It can last for so long without getting spoiled. Honey made by bees who feed on nectars of flowers are the best than those who feed the bees with sugar.

Thanks for your comment appreciate your participation.

Life indeed is so uncertain; we do not know what will happen tomorrow or in the future. Like what you discussed here, having an insurance is a best step to cushion the impact of such unfortunate incidents. It is better to be prepared when we need it like having a health insurance plan.
-
Agree with you. Unfortunately governments and insurance companies do not provide insurance which even the poorest of the poor are able to afford as it is a mandatory necessity for all for all citizens of any country in the world. The inflation and the prices being very high. If any problem occurs it will help those affected.
Many people also have the notion that having a insurance is equivalent to wasting the morning earned with great difficulty. Hence they avoid taking the same. The premiums too scare away many people from taking insurance. Insurance companies seem to be targeting only those who are well off. And do not consider the poor as worth targeting. If they change this attitude and look at that as a major marked and come up with policies which are according to their needs it will help the poor a lot and the insurance companies too will grow. Thanks for the feedback.

Nice, I wish to hear the music form displayed here through YouTube.Are your songs in English or not? Thanks, very nice , informative one knowing your culture and music of the 21st century India.

Cely,
Thanks for the appreciation shown for the music of India. Here what is shown is the Veena it is a string instrument. This has been there since the Vedic age more than 7000 centuries ago. This is the instrument played by Goddess Saraswati the Goddess of Knowledge in the Hindu religion. One more interesting thing is that before are sent to school. There is a function conducted known as Aksharabhyasa which is performing pooja for this particular Goddess and seeking her blessing that the child grown into a brainy, intelligent and wise child.
I do not know if we can put a you tube in this reply hence am not doing the same. But it is played instrumental and it is also played along with singing too. This is famous in south India while its cousin the Sitar one more string instrument is famous in the North India. Listening to booth is nice. You will get lots of downloads of veena recitals in google by famous music personalities.

Thank you Krishna for putting up such a wonderful topic You have almost covered all the variety of Indian music. But one of the major sector has not been touched. There should be some category like modern songs which are not film song. Mainly sung by solo artists or bands. These songs are also very rich with their music and lyrics. Sometimes these musics are mix of several categories. I know it is hard to put all category in detail. Then this blog will be huge in size.
In short you have done a wonderful job.-
Thanks for the appreciation. I understood what you are trying to point out. This post became too long and I had to unfortunately stop at where I did. I actually wanted to cover what you have highlighted and some other forms too. Will try to put a different post for that. Best wishes.

Music produced and performed by artists from India certainly does have variety and is very entertaining.
-
Thanks for the inputs and happy to hear your view on this topic. Best wishes.

Question about that particular instrument that you show as your featured image. Is there like someone in India who is considered a master as playing it and making sweet melodies? Don’t know if you’re familiar with the musician Gheorghe Zamfir. He’s Romanian and people say he’s the master of the plan flute. I was wondering if there is someone similar in India who plays that stringed instrument in the picture. I’m not sure what the instrument is called but I have heard it played. If you know who is the master of that instrument, it would probably make an excellent blog post.
-
It is called the Veena and Late Chitti Babu was one of the masters who played there are many who pursue it in South India. S. Balachander, Asad Ali Khan, Rash Behari Dutta, Shrikant Pathak, R.V.Hegde to name a few of the many masters who play this instrument. This also comes in different forms like Rudra Veena etc.

Thanks for the quick lesson. Appreciate you responding.

though liked the old songs in salman khans and aamir khan movies since we were kids, i have to say the music now is so much greater and rocks, i like it and all the world like it too

True today’s music has evolved according to the times and the generation. The number of instruments used and the experimentation too has made the range very vast. It is a industry which is rapidly growing in India. Many albums have also become chart busters and people need not be in the film industry to get into the music industry as there are many companies which release albums and make the artiste famous overnight.
I feel there is lot of scope for music in our country with a rich and wide array of instruments, playing and singing styles. Fusion music too has reached new heights. Audience whether old or new are open to experimentation. The tend to appreciate good music which has variety and is different from what is already existing and is pleasing to ones years. Lyrics too play an important part as catchy lyrics are liked by youngsters when the composition is good. Thanks for the input.

I think insurance companies have a ceiling as to how much should be paid to a bank in case it is robbed. Usually, they make the ceiling of how they can pay only according to the amount that was agreed in the policy according to how much premium also they have paid for it.
That kind of robbery also happened here in our city. I was also an employee in a bank then. One of the banks were robbed before lunch time. All the employees were all made to drop on the floor. . All the customers were made to lie on the floor, head down. When a pregnant woman can’t lay head facing down well , she was kicked in the butt
The manager, cashier and the employees were all locked inside the vault.
When the robbers were gone, they shouted at that small hole in the vault where it is really made for that.
Officers from the other bank were made to open the vault by telling them the combinations. They changed the combinations after that.
In this case, the manager had been embezzeling money from the bank. This is why the numbers didn’t match.
