Must Read Tradition
Traditions to bring luck and prosperity are too common in India, but tossing a baby from about three storeys is by far the strangest. As part of a religious ritual in Karnataka locals throw their children off a temple roof approximately 30 feet off the ground. Locals in the village of Nagrala believe the ritual brings health and good luck to the children. Most of the children are less than 2 years of age. Children are tossed by a man from the temple roof into the blankets below. |
True Indian Story
Jadav Molai Payeng |
Jadav Molai Payeng of Assam started planting seeds about 30 years ago. Out of pity for the dying snakes in need of shelter, he started planting seeds along a sandbar as a teenager. Fast forward to the present day, it’s no more a barren sandbar, but a sprawling 1360 acre forest. “Molai woods,” named after him now houses a number of endangered animals. The sandbar in the middle of Brahmaputra is about 350 km from Guwahati. With no prior knowledge about trees, he started with bamboos and then later planted “proper trees.” Soon a variety of flora and fauna began dotting the sandbar and in 2008 forest officials were surprised to find such a dense forest in the middle of a sandbar.
World's most livable cities

The world's most livable cities is an informal name given to any list of cities as they rank on an annual survey of living conditions. Three examples are Monocle's "Most Liveable Cities Index", the Economist Intelligence Unit's "Liveability Ranking and Overview", and "Mercer Quality of Living Survey". Liveability rankings are designed for use by employers assigning hardship allowances as part of job relocation. There have been numerous arguments over the expansion of liveability rankings for other purposes. However, the annual city rankings attract extensive media coverage, and are a popular topic of discussion. However, the rankings are not used for economic forecasting or government policy. The OECD Better Life Index however, factors in socio-economic comparisons of the livability of cities across the world.
Since 2006, the lifestyle magazine Monocle has published an annual list of liveable cities. The list in 2008 was named "The Most Liveable Cities Index" and presented 25 top locations for quality of life.
Important criteria in this survey are safety/crime, international connectivity, climate/sunshine, quality of architecture, public transportation, tolerance, environmental issues and access to nature, urban design, business conditions, pro-active policy developments and medical care.

Thought for the day
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
Though for the day
The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

Lifebuoy Jump Pump Music Video
India's mid-day meal scheme feeds millions of hungry school children every day. But eating with unclean hands spreads diseases like diarrhoea. It is important that children wash their hands with soap before eating.
Access to soap is easy. But, unfortunately, old & heavy hand-operated pumps are the only way to access water in rural schools
