Indian Navy’s Version Of LCA – Light Combat Aircraft

It is good to know that our Navy’s version of LCA has been rolled out, but still there seems to be a battery of tests that is required to make LCA or light combat aircraft to be fully operational. Indigenization is a very important factor for our ability to mobilize resources to ward off any threat. Right now, we are spending billions of money to “buy” military hardware from countries such as Russia, USA, Israel, France, etc. It is high time we invest heavily on research and development and to start manufacturing state-of-the-art military hardware and mass produce them and keep them operational.

LCA

Why does military hardware indigenization important to us? In the event of war, we should not depend on other countries for the supply of military hardware, instead we should develop the ability to manufacture them in our own soil to huge proportion and send them to the forward positions or military flash points. One may think that indigenization will prove that we are an emerging super power, but this is not the real case.

One of the other advantages if we become masters in military hardware would be that we will save billions of dollars that we spend for aircrafts, artillery guns, submarines, destroyers, corvettes, why even automatic rifles. A portion of that saved billions could be channeled to the economic development of our country, and a portion could be channeled to the research and development of new technologies for military purposes.

It is a well known factor that it is not the numbers that win a war, but the technology. In the Second World War, if England hadn’t invented radar – then England would have been defeated by Germany, and the events of history would have been different.

Need To Be Cautious From Unfair Companies Such As Sigmentor – Stephen Soos Company

When it comes to doing business online, the only guarantee that we get is from the facilitators. There are many bogus companies or conning people who try every trick to get the work done and get away without any payment. We’ve had enough experience and were able to guard ourselves from unethical people like Stephen Soos from Sigmentor. We modeled our business in such a way that we prove ourselves and go milestone after milestone type of payment, which safeguards our interest. It is a win-win model where the service provider and the service seeker benefit equally – that is – the payment will be made only if the milestone factors are satisfied 100%.

We had a very bad experience from a person named Stephen Soos from a company called as Sigmentor. Stephen Soos appreciated our work and released payment after completing one milestone after another. However, after the job got completed entirely, he started to show his true color. He started to threaten us that he’d give negative feedback if we did not refund the entire amount, but since we had solid proof to unravel his unfair intentions, we were able to come out good after undergoing painful explanation from our part. After this event, Stephen Soos from Sigmentor tried to contact us, but we knew what type of unethical person he is and avoided him completely.

Small and medium IT companies need to be cautious from people like Stephen Soos or company like Sigmentor. These people would try to play every trick that they have under their sleeve to con small and unsuspecting companies. The only way to tackle them is to avoid them in the first instance. It is hard to identify conning people, and it comes only through experience. We need to share information about these people so that they do not go on with their destructive rampage.

People Who Go By The Name Of God – The Fool makers

The first time I remember of a god man who got arrested for murder, molestation, and cheating people was “Premananda” a guy who started fooling people that he was an incarnation of god.  He used to take “lingam” from his mouth and do many such “miracles.”  All in all, he was cheating people in broad daylight.  The most recent person to do this is “Nithyananda” and in fact there are hundreds of Nithyanandas who are doing rounds in our country, conning innocent people.  If they get a chance, they’ll do anything.
In one angle, I pity people who go behind these fool makers, but in another angle it really irritates me, “do these people really have brains, can’t they think on their own?”
These disgusting characters who take the avatar of “god-man” thrive on the innocence and ignorance of people.
I believe in god, but don’t trust people who go by the name of god.

My understanding is this,
1.  God created us and owns up the length and breadth of the universe.
2.  All of us are children of god and we are not high or low to one another, we are all equals.

Another fact is that if god owns up this world, he already owns us and our belongings, thus it doesn’t matter whether we offer god our money or material; what is important for God is our intention and nothing else.
God is already watching us naked, all you got to do is lead a life with good intentions and that’s it.

All we need to do is think, ask questions to ourselves, and analyze facts, and once we do this I believe we can steer clear of these dangerous conmen.

PayPal Halts Payment – Thousands Affected In India

This is the third straight week since PayPal suspended transactions to and from India.  Thousands of PayPal customers are suffering because of this act.  Many mid-sized IT companies are under financial crisis.  In the official blog of PayPal, which is https://www.thepaypalblog.com, Mr. Anuj from the PayPal communications team has stated that “I’m writing to let you know that personal payments to and from India and transfers to local banks in India have been suspended while we work with our business partners and other stakeholders to address questions they have about the service. During this time, customers can still make commercial payments to India but merchants cannot withdraw funds in Rupees to local Indian banks. We’re trying to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and we’re really sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause our customers in India and around the world. I’ll update the blog as soon as we have more information to share.”

It makes one to wonder on how such a decision was taken by PayPal, which in fact has put every customer from India into a surprose.  At least, they should have intimated their customers given prior notice.  Just one notice would have avoided this cauldron of confusion and turmoil.  There are hundreds of software development companies and thousands of PayPal users who have been hit hard. The stress is in fact tremendous and it is hard to digest of this act.

However, we hope PayPal will take necessary action to release the funds to thwart the negative situation prevailing here.

It is high time that PayPal gives the much awaited information as to what is going behind the screen and be transparent.  Once this issue is fixed and when normal transactions starts, we believe we’ll continue business as usual with PayPal without any problem.

Rahul Gandhi’s Mumbai Visit

When I first heard about Rahul’s message in regards to Mumbai, “Mumbai for all Indians.”  I was happy to see a leader who is young, energetic, charming; yet firm in his resolve and has the capacity to raise his voice against strong powerhouses, disregarding personal threats.  This is a time when we need to stand by and rally behind Rahul since his stance is very clear, “unity of this country is a matter of concern and we cannot allow insane justifications to be raised”  On issues such as these, the sena were used to be successful by showing their prowess by demonstrations, road blocks, or some sort of fun activity.   Unfortunately this time, they had to bow down before Rahul, who is becoming the champion of causes across all sections of our society.

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

In fact, I started to get impressed by Rahul when I saw him speak in one of the press meets held in Chennai.  The speech was crystal clear.  What I could not forget was how clear he was and the way he conveyed the message of his party’s stand at the same time bashing the BJP and the communists (in fact, I like communists).  I could not find the right words of his speech, but could come a bit near to it.  He said, “BJP is using Shine India policy where only the upper class and the literate people get to benefit, but the middle and poorer sections of the society get forgotten.  In regards to the communists, “they voice and fight for the backward and poorer sections of the society and they to the extent of getting the resources from the upper class society and distribute among the poorer sections of the society, however, the communists are in fact hampering the growth of the economy as a whole, which is not good for a country.  Now, Congress (his party) is using the “inclusive policy” where every section of the society from this country will be looked after.  Congress would take steps to grow the economy by driving the upper class, at the same time devising plans to uplift rural India, backward class, and poorer sections of our country.  Man!!! what a way to go. . .if this kind of thought process is going to evolve and is solidified, India will truly become awesome.

I hope Rahul Gandhi will sit in the thorn seat as PM one day, and let’s keep our fingers crossed and pray that he is able to do things and bring India to the forefront and do all the good things that he has said.

ARE YOU A SMOKER? HERE ARE THE INTERESTING FACTS OF SMOKING

One out of three smokers die from smoking and the rest two have disgusting effects arising out of smoking.  Remember, you have only one pair of lungs.  You may think that nothing has happened to me yet, let me stop when I see the signs.  Well buddies’ by the time you see the sign, the sign would have become too strong for you to handle it, either you would be drenched in emphysema or bronchitis, some of the deadliest lung diseases.  Enjoy the fun, feel the difficulty of air entering your lungs.

There is one good reason for smoking and that is when you struggle to gasp for air to fill in your lungs, you realize how easily and comfortable you were living all these years.  The valuable lesson that a smoker would learn from the ill effects of smoking is “cherish life.”

In fact, we can write innumerable facts and figures about the ill effects of smoking, however, it is not going to help the one who is going to read this and go out and take a puff thinking about this!!!

Some of the arguments presented by the smokers are as, “I don’t live forever, why shouldn’t I enjoy myself?”, “so what? even non-smokers get cancer and other diseases, what’s the big deal” etc.  For the fine gentlemen and women who ask these questions, remember this, “YOU ARE PAYING TO GET DISEASES”, “YOU ARE COLLABORATING WITH THE ENEMY INSTEAD OF FIGHTING IT”, “YOU ARE A TRAITOR FOR YOUR OWN WELL BEING AND HEALTHY LIFE” “DEFINITELY, THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DIE, TO GASP FOR EVERY SINGLE INTAKE OF AIR THROUGH YOUR NOSTRILS, MOUTH AND INTO YOUR LUNGS”

Stop smoking now, kill the slightest urge to wield the stick between your fingers.  You may die of a hundred different things, but don’t let something kill you which you think is giving you pleasure.  Stand up against it and fight.
