You have touched upon a very important subject. Yes computers have taken over jobs of secretaries and many others like accountant’s, record keepers, typists, telephone operators and others. This is one of the negative fallout’s of new technology arriving. Computers, tablets, cellphones with I phones have become like calculators today. They have taken away many of the jobs like the one mentioned above. Even the bank ATM is one such product. So is email. Today we find people sending money and gifts or payments and mails through electronic systems due to its many advantages. Now with new economic reforms in India this problem is only going to aggravate. Children in schools have computers but the knowledge is limited to a large extent and they do not want to pursue it till the tenth class as their are no marks for that subject and they do not count in the final tally. They end up like a blank page when they pass tenth class. Then go for computer courses paying huge fees in a volatile market. Many of their years thus get wasted. Educationists have to seriously look into this anomaly and do course correction. To get a good crop of very well computer literate youngsters.
-
Those computer courses teaching how to work on a computer are a waste. I bought those books – Windows for Dummies and picked up from there. A friend of mine guided me and that was it. Today I can do many things on my computer including creating movies and slideshows.

A well researched article about health benefits of fruits especially about egg fruit. Nowadays there is high demand for organic products including fruits as awareness has increased among the people about the negative effects of medication. But people still continue using them as they are used to allopathic medication. I have come across some families which are used to other forms of treatment like Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and others. These medicines take time but the remedy is permanent whereas allopathy has instant results but with negative results in the long run. When we buy fruits it is preferable to but fruits which are available in plenty as it is their season. They will be fresh and healthy. I think your garden gives you a regular supply of good fruits all through the year.
-
I always have bumper crops not knowing what to do with them as there is no market here for our produce. But we enjoy these fruits which get ripe naturally unlike what one gets in shops.

You are right. Nepal is a great place for tourists. I think it is famous for mountains and peaks.
I would prefer enjoying the beauty of a skyscraper to a high mountain.
We must be very closer to nature when it comes to our mental and physical health. Nature is our best friend. We must try to save and preserve it. -
I prefer mountains 😀 although modernisation is needed to enrich our lifestyle.
-
I’m a nature lover so i really appreciate all the beautiful landscape scenery as well as the fresh air in the rural city, the breath taking views of the mountain, the sun set biding goodbye at the end of the day, the shimmering waters of the ocean, it was really a picture perfect and a sight to behold. I hope somehow i would like to be close to the nature to see its beauty beyond words.
-
It is only after reading posts of users like you that I have realised how beautiful Philippines is. You are lucky to be surrounded by mountains.
-
We shifted from a city to a semi rural town just to be with nature. Here it is peaceful and I have created a lot of greenery around me.
-
Each country has its charm and highlights. While countries like Nepal are ancient and have lots of pagodas and temples. In the case of Singapore it has developed well after independence. Its main income is shipping industry, tourism, infrastructure to name a few. In the case of Nepal a big part of it is preserved eternally in nature and that adds to the beauty of the place and the people are also the natives who have been living their for centuries unlike Singapore. Two different cities with contrasting styles. If you want peace of mind Nepal is a better place to be at. You seem to have lot of pleasant memories which is good.
-
Nepal is indeed a place a getaway when one wants peace. There is not much development but nature has gift enough to attract tourists. Singapore on the other hand is a well laid out country – also a place where a tourist can enjoy mostly the cleanliness around it.

Absolutely. Being optimistic can relieve our stressful day.
Always think positive to have a good heart, as they say.
Though, it is impossible to be positive when all the people around you are negative thinkers.
It is impossible sometimes to be positive when in your working place, all your co-workers treat you as their competitor.
It is impossible to be positive when you are suffering from deadly illness or you are suffering from a great disaster.
However, it is good to always put in mind that being positive makes everything okay.-
It is possible. Just try and get that book by Norman Vincent Peale. You will get the guidance there. I have seen terminally ill peple having a smile on their face and so on

I would like to second you in this regard. I am impressed by this short but great post written by you. I would like to read it again and again as it is a great source of inspiration for me.
You seem to be perfect in this field. You seem to have an inborn talent in this connection. Waiting anxiously for some more post on the same topic – Motivation.
-
I am glad you liked this post Thanks. If you can get that book written by Norman Vincent Peale that could help. It helped me.

You can save and delete your posts.I have done that You could do that too.

It is more a site that was created by someone who had no knowledge whatsoever about such sites that it got messed up even before it could be well established. I could save a few posts but now it is suspended and one cannot reach it any more.

The Day I heard about Tinycent I was pretty certain it was a scam. Then some guy came on posting how he’d spoken to the Owner and the Owner told him… so I knew it was a scam.
gotmatter is the continuation as the government shut down Tinycent, which is why the server is in singapore.

You have to choose the right month. As I have mentioned in my post that brook had clear water flowing and had not become ice.

Wow, superb scenery, superb country, Switzerland is a very cool and peaceful country. We are so happy for you having visited the place and had lots of sight-seeing, so awesome journey.
-
Surely a great place to visit.
-
Sometimes, it is so nice to read about others journey, as if i’ve been there in that place by just reading others story about it. But, surely it will be good to see those view personally.
-
I have always loved travel and have covered several places.
-
-
I guess cleanliness comes from small population and implementation of laws…. two things people from third world countries will never know about. Beautiful place.
-
Those roads that are skirted by well manicured lawns with tiny yellow flowers bordering are sights for sore eyes.

An amazing place to spend time on holiday

Well, the definition of stray and pedigree are entirely different. Pedigree has to do with a class of animal. For example, if the dog is purebred or of mix breed. A stray is an animal that has no place to call home regardless of its breed. I say this because we found a stray chihuahua once (we still have her). Just like children, all dogs have a unique personality about them. They are all different. I have three dogs and they all act differently. My pit bull is quieter and laid back, while the chihuahua likes to run around barking at everything. Their puppy (yes, the pit bull and the chihuahua mated) likes to run around and jump up and down and is the happiest puppy ever that loves to tear up furniture.

My first dog was a purebred miniature shetland sheep dog. She lived till the ripe old age of 16 years and never developed any diseases except for a little bit of arthritis. She was also a joy to have and to hold and to cherish. My second dog was a miniature American Eskimo, pure white with a brown nose and brown eyes. But being of the category spitz dog, she was quite the handful and needed constant training and watching. She would even jump the fence and that is what happened one day. She jumped the fence and even though I looked high and low for her, I never found her. My third dog was a mix German Shepherd and Husky. She also lived till about 17 years old.She was definitely a joy to hold, to love, to pet and cherish. I really enjoyed my walks with her especially in the winter. Being part Husky, she fared much better when it was cold. All dogs, whether purebred or stray or mixed breeds deserve a loving hand and home.

A birdbath! I would definitely love a birdbath in my garden. 🙂
-
There are no other birdbaths around and that means all birds that are in the vicinity visit our garden

I love gardening. Nice topic this is.
Having a garden refreshes and beautifies our environment.
Lovely flowers are my plant in our place.
Just looking at them every morning I wake up made my day wonderful.-
Itis a great hobby. Gardeners will never get bored as there is enough in the day to keep them happily occupied.

I don’t have a passion for travel any more since my husband got sick. But if I did, I’d be happy to visit all of those destinations you named.
-
I had to put a brake on my travel after that accident in the year 2006. My last holiday was in 2005 Australia and New Zealand.
Hope someday your dream will be fulfilled.

This daring move by India’s PM made the news in the USA. I was dumfounded. I thought to myself “Is this going to work?”
So it wasn’t a good idea huh? Can’t say I’m surprised at the results. But when crime is bad and something has to be done, I can sort of understand the PM thinking “We need to do something drastic!” He must have been desparate!

Black money in cash is only 6% and rest is in gold, property and other instruments.And much of it is stacked in Switzerland.
This has put the middle class and poor who mostly deal in cash at great hardship.
What can they do with 2000 rupee notes? There are many other restrictions too -
Not trying to tell the PM how to govern, but leaders need to think of the impact of their decisions on the masses before implementing solutions. Why should the middle class and poor always have to suffer? Life is hard enough for them without making an “everyday activity” a “criminal offense”. The thought of this just makes me angry and I’m not even the one being directly impacted. But I do empathize.
-
As they say ends do not justify means and here the means are disastrous. People are dying waiting in queues. With frauds in banks there is no currency left for the common man. But they being in the majority opposition is struggling to send the message.
-
-
Our politicians!! What can we say about them. And of course the rich and the corrupt always know about these things in advance. There are reportedly billions of dollars in Swiss banks that aredeposited by corrup[t third world leaders and flats, chateaus, diamonds, even castles. They will not be affected by these decisions. It is always the poor who suffer. Not a fan of Modi for many other reasons too. And you can bet there will be “incidents” that take away media’s and people’s attention away from these issues and focus on those instead.
-
You are so right. Just about 6% is in currency and this man is trying to arrest black money. Already new notes are in the hands of those who have converted their black money into white.

Felt good about reading the Eurostar. But we cannot see anything as we progress through the journey as it happens to be below the ocean bed. Now for so many years people have been travelling but till date nothing problematic has happened which speaks of the premium put on safety of the passengers. It is a modern technological wonder and if I am not wrong the only one in the world at that. No other project of that sort and magnitude has taken place. Travel to Europe if on individual travel is a different one compared to the groups. Here in the case of individual travel we can buy train tickets which are flexible and costs will be saved if travel is to an interior tourist spot in Europe. Eurail has different trains which offer excellent value for money and a good ambient scenic atmosphere for tourist travel.
I have always preferred conducted tours as everything is taken care of. We get to meet new people and also the tour conductor is with us which makes one feel comfortable.
