As one of the Select bloggers to represent Volkswagen India in the web i am happy to write this first post.  When it comes to Germany engineering, solidity, innovation, safety, state-of-the-art technology the only thing that comes to our mind is Volkswagen. Let me give a quick heads-up on where they are coming from and what they are heading.

Being Europe’s most successful car brand Volkswagen has made successful inroads into the Indian market by presenting itself in a variety of segments as a high volume manufacturer. They launched the globally successful Passat in 2007. By expanding their portfolio and catering to the mid segment, Volkswagen launched one of the brand’s bestselling models, the Jetta, in India in July 2008. Both the sedans are being assembled locally. The iconic New Beetle and the high-end SUV Touareg were introduced in December 2009. Also available is the high-end Phaeton.

From December 12, 2009 the new Pune plant has started rolling-out the hatchback version of the Volkswagen Polo. Recognizing the importance of an extensive dealer network towards scripting a long-term success story, the Volkswagen Group is setting up dealerships spanning the entire country, having in total around 120 dealerships across the country today. They are not only laying the foundation for a substantial increase in sales but also doing the groundwork for offering a first-class all-round service, taking customer satisfaction to the highest level.  The launch of Polo, the hatchback, is a visible testimony to Volkswagen’s vision of “Mobility – Made in India”.

Volkswagen India is working incessantly towards bringing in the right products for the new-age Indian motorist who loves to drive and wants his/her set of wheels to be his companion in all that life throws at him/her. They also endeavor to back this up with an always-with-you approach towards online media. Because at Volkswagen, your expectation is our greatest inspiration!

P.S: The New Vento sedan will be officially unveiled in India on the 6th of July, 2010

This was the excerpt given by Einstein about Bees.

“If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination … no more men!”

Bees are responsible for Pollinating the Crops, Flowers and Vegetables which in turn converts the Co2 into Oxygen. Just think of the catastrophic if Bees becomes Extinct, mankind would be able to survive only for few years.

There is no proof yet that it has been said by Einstein! But, yet we need to care about the ecological system and preserve these Bees.

Colony Collapse Disorder is what been named on the loss of Honey Bees. It’s estimated that one-third of all the food we eat relies on bees for its production. Cereal crops are wind-pollinated but virtually all fruit and many vegetables are insect-pollinated, overwhelmingly by bees.

No wonder she is suing Citibank on these grounds.  I am wondering whether this is true or just for media attention this lady is suing such a giant bank. Citibank being one of the largest bank in U.S would sure have strict corporate policies that would never make someone lose their job due to their appearance.

We just need to wait and see for the verdict.  Vikram Pandit CEO of Citibank is quite having a tough time of his career.

I am damn sure that Debralee would get an alternate career in modelling or Film industry whether she wins or loses her lawsuit.

Looking at her with Corporate wear, Even I do not think I can concentrate on my work

I was not a big fan of Facebook until I started playing Mafia Wars.  Virtual world helps people to achieve what they are unable to do in real world. This game is a perfect       example of where you can kill,loot and create your own group to fight other people.

This is one other place where you can earn thousands of dollars within minutes and as well as lose them at the same time. Am a proud owner to have Italian Restaurants, Tommy  Guns and big amount of money in the bank.

Build up your mafia size once you have enough steady income and add up your  energy at the most during the initial levels.

Mafia wars has attracted two millions users worldwide and has got the  Webby  Award for 2009. Mafia wars can also be played in Yahoo, My space,Tagged  and even  in your Iphone.

With the usual stress we encounter at work, this game would give you sense of relief and entertainment.  Play this game and build your own Mafia empire.

• We as a Human can not taste water.  It is just the chemicals and impurities that we taste.
• Sheep can recognize other sheep from Images.
• Farmers in England are required by Law to provide their Pigs with Toys.
• Human thigh bones are stronger than concrete.

Moon was born with the fragments of Iron and Magnesium of Earth which was hit by an asteroid centuries back. Moon’s gravitational pull is the single main reason for our Ocean water to being stabilized.

Moon’s gravitation pull is also responsible for many of the asteroids not hitting earth.  You would have heard about planet Mars, which was once like Earth and now as a Red Planet.  There were traces of water in Mars and has been dried out due to the single fact that it did not have Moon as the stabilizer.

Earth’s Axis is mainly controlled by the Gravitational pull of Moon.  If Moon does not exist, the earth will rotate much faster and there would not be a stable season and question of survival.

Scientists have predicted that Moon is going farther away from Earth every year and is a big threat for Earth to be survived.

Prior knowing these things, Moon was just an object used for Moonlight dinner!  Just imagine how we would live without Moon!

Next question would be , What is Geo-Engineering?Will it be a feasible solution to tackle global warming.

Geo-Engineering  is a branch of Environmental Engineering which highly concentrates on Environmental problems.  It changes the day-to-day patterns of Natural Environment.

These are the solutions proposed by Geo-Engineering scientists to handle the Global Warming.

SunShield:

Imagine yourself wearing  sun glasses to get protection from sun.  With the same concept, We can make Sun Shields above earth which can prevent the heat radiation. This will reduce the heat we get from Sun by 2%.  The cost to build these Sun shields would eat up the economy of 4 countries.

Mangrove Trees:

Mangrove trees are known to absorb C02 drastically.  Growing mangrove trees across all the forests and other places might be good solution.  The drawback is that it will take decades for these trees to grow up and we can not wait until then.

Electric Car:

As the Cars contribute 50% of CO2 emissions in the world, the best approach would be to use Electric Cars.  Though these things have not been very popular, steps are being made to publicize use of Electric Cars.

Though there are numerous technologies and debates going around to control Global Warming, there are many small things which we can contribute to reduce CO2 emissions.  Let us try to follow the simple procedures laid by the Government and contribute our part to make the Environment friendly.

Psychic powers were directly related to Supernatural powers.  A person born with special intuition of knowing, seeing and feeling is considered to be Super Natural powers. Everybody might have one and may not yet be aware of it.  Most of the animals do have supernatural powers and have various proofs for that. A simple example would be like Animals can sense most of the natural calamities before they are yet to happen!

If you want to really check whether you have one, follow these steps and you can find it yourself!

1. Respect your Intuition, if it says not to do something, don’t do it and see what happens. This might be your first step in knowing whether your intuition were right.

2. Follow your dreams; check whether they give you any answers to your day-to-day life. Your Psychic knowledge may guide you by taking into various forms.

3. Pay attention to your feelings. The way you feel about something can be your strongest supernatural power. This power can help you make important decisions that can change your future. It may not feel like psychic power, but it may effect a situation in days to come.

4. The more you trust about yourself and feel that your decisions and knowledge are correct, the more your powers would develop. Many might argue that Positive thinking and Supernatural powers might be same, but there is a thin line difference. Positive thinking always makes you to think that only good things should and might happen. Intuitive feeling is about both good and bad.

5. Meditate yourself, you will come to know many things you might have not known or missed in your daily activities.

Origin:

Swastika’s origin seems to be way behind 3000 years ago nor until it came into place around 1000 BC. It was first used by Sumerian. In India according to d’Alviella, the word swastika is composed by the Sanskrit su = good, and asti = to be, with the suffix ka. The arms of the Indian swastika were angled in a clockwise direction (from the center).

Benefits:

One can use the magical power of Swastika for one’s personal benefit by energizing it in a proper way in a proper metal combination and in a right nakshatra. In numerology, those born under fate numbers 1, 3 and 9 can use it to their advantage if the Sun is positioned well in the birth chart.

Controversy:

These symbols always end up in controversies.  Especially in North America, where these symbol were used in numerous products unintentionally.

Extract from Wikipedia:

When a ten-year-old boy in Lynbrook, New York bought a set of Pokémon cards imported from Japan in 1999, his parents complained after finding that two of the cards contained the Manji symbol which is the mirror image of the Nazi swastika. This also caused a lot of concern amongst fans from Jewish communities. Nintendo of America announced that the cards would be discontinued, explaining that what was acceptable in one culture was not necessarily so in another; their action was welcomed by the Anti-Defamation League who recognised that there was no intention to be offensive but said that international commerce meant that “isolating [the Swastika] in Asia would just create more problems.”^[80]

In 2002, Christmas crackers containing plastic toy pandas sporting swastikas were pulled from shelves after complaints from consumers in Canada. The manufacturer, based in China, explained the symbol was presented in a traditional sense and not as a reference to the Nazis, and apologized to the customers for the cross-cultural mix-up. In 2007, Spanish fashion chain Zara has withdrawn a handbag from its stores after a customer in Britain complained swastikas were embroidered on it. The bags were made by a supplier in India and inspired by commonly used Hindu symbols, which include the swastika.

In 2003, the Anti-Defamation League expressed outrage when a Hong Kong fashion chain, Izzue, released a range of clothes featuring swastikas.

Certain things are really unbelievable and surprising! I will make sure to update regularly on weekly/monthly basis on the known world facts.

• Pepsi Inc paid $0.00 as Income Tax in 1999.
• A Fire in Australia has been burning for more than 5,000 years.
• Contrary to popular belief, hair does not grow back darker and thicker after it has been shaved.
• You are not supposed to tip at Restaurants in Japan.
• Just as we use fingerprints to identify, Nose prints are used to identify dogs.
• Crushed Cockroaches can be applied to a stinging wound to help relieve the pain.
• Polar Bears are left handed by nature.
• Most of the streets in Japan don’t have names, only main roads have names.
• Rain water contains Vitamin B12.

Looking at these facts, It doubts me whether these are true or not.  It will be a good practice to get it verified.

Popular stealth planes and Blackbird are being manufactured from this base and has countless technologies under this base.  People have claimed to see strange lights at nights and were suspicious on various underground installations.

Many speculate that Area 51 is the communication point for all UFO and actually have seen/captured Aliens.  One man revealed most of the secrets, Bob Lazar , a scientist was actually employed to pull an alien aircraft apart and see if they can manufacture the same. He also claimed to have seen a live Alien at S4 base.

The road to its entrance is known as ‘The Widow’s Highway’ because of the high numbers of workers at the base who died through contact with fatally poisonous materials. Many experts suggest the area is a secret dumping ground for toxic substances, rather than a UFO base.

Oscar Winner and Music Legend A.R Rahman wants poverty to be history. With his A.R Rahman Foundation, he is planning to set up educational institutions and provide world class, state-of-the-art infrastructure and education to children who do not even have the means to access and fund their education.

The main reason why A.R Rahman foundation concentrates on funding children’s education is that they can specialize their knowledge which would be helpful for getting career opportunities and settle in life. Such a unique initiative is really appreciated considering other alternatives of shedding money and other stuffs in the name of social funding which are utilized by the middle crooks. Recently Rahman has performed a nationwide JAI HO concert to fund several social service organizations.

As a first step towards achieving the vision, A R Rahman released a coloring book for children. This coloring book will feature stories for children based on human values & spread the message of love & peace. A new story will be released every month. Each coloring book is priced at INR 99/- only and proceeds from sales will go towards the A R Rahman Foundation.

Being an Ardent fan of A.R Rahman you could simply purchase this coloring book and contribute to the A.R Rahman Foundation. Simply order the coloring book from A1Books Store online.

The discussions claim that there would be a basket of currencies used for Oil trading that includes Chinese Yuan and Japanese Yen along with Euro and a unified currency.  Before World War II, British pound has been used as the Global Currency which got changed by U.S dollar due to its Economic growth and Military power.

40% to 60% of international financial transactions are done in U.S dollars.  Since 1999, dollar began to lose its charm to Euro, which is a larger size economy and has the prospect of more countries adopting Euro as their national currency.

In the future,  U.S dollar might be replaced by another form of electronic money called Digital Gold currency which is measured by Gold gram or Troy ounce.

We need to wait for couple of years to get the full picture of U.S economy and its influence towards global economy.

Alas! Sachin would not have expected in his dressing room that India had failed to snatch the victory, His scintillating 175 send strong signals to cricket gurus and other critics that he is not  finished yet!  We do not want the old times happening again where India would only win when Sachin bats and the rest of the team fails.

Everyone knows that Sachin cried in his dressing room during Chennai defeat against Pakistan and might have been the case during this match.

Though Sachin has created so many records and achievements, he still has in mind about one thing that India needs to win one more world cup before he retires.  Everyone would be waiting for that event and would be a perfect goodbye for Sachin.

Facts About Sachin

• Not many people know that Sachin sponsors the education of 200 under-privileged children every year.
• Sachin’s father was never a cricket fan.
• Sachin got his name from the legendary music director Sachin Dev Burman.
• Sachin was the first ever overseas player to play for Yorkshire.
• Virgin Comics is launching a series of comic books featuring Sachin Tendulkar as a superhero

German scientists were taken by the U.S Govt., and used them to build prototypes of Flying Saucers.  This explains the reason for many UFO sightings in America. They also made unique flying beads to divert the attention of enemy pilots which was truly fascinating.

Seen a Flying saucer near your window!  Don’t be surprised if it was driven by U.S or Germans.

Have you seen any Hollywood Actor/Actress in Indian Cinema for the past 50 years!  Things have changed drastically after recession, Famous pop singers, macho-man and popular artists are all streaming into Bollywood. Most of the credit goes to Akshay kumar who is proud to have acted with Kylie Minogue, Sylvester Stallone and Salma Hayek.

Irrespective of that, SRK and Karan Johar has also signed with Fox Studios for a large sum of 100 Crore deal. Global Recession or not, has worked out really good for Bollywood cinemas.

Who Knows! Down the line Bollywood cinemas might become more attractive than Hollywood.

The truth is that all developed nations didn’t have any problems with the basic necessities of life like Shelter, Clothing and Food before the Recession whereas in India it was always a problem with scarcity of resources irrespective of the nation booming or glooming.  An average Indian had the usual sufferings and the recession would just impact them a little and not more.

But, we also need to check on the brighter side which helped us avoid Recession.  The banking system in India is so good that we don’t face any problems with Mortgage issues vis-a-vis USA.  Everybody knows that “When the Wall Street sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold” does impact India if it blindly follows the U.S.  Thanks to the IT  and other sectors who have started exploring the European countries and are less dependent to U.S. The upcoming government projects in India have really helped to generate more employment at the time of global recession.

India is still better positioned in comparison to developed US, EU and Asian economies due to its comparatively less dependence on exports and strong domestic demand.  We can’t argue whether India has fallen into Recession or not, but can agree that the global recession did make little impact to India.
