 This year's World Water Day on 22nd March marks the launching of the "Water for Life" decade, during which the United Nations and governments are seeking to halve the number of people without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015, under the slogan "Water for life, water for all" The United Nations says more than 1.1 billion people around the world lack safe water, and 2.6 billion have no access to sanitation, leading to over 3 million deaths every year.

March 8th Women's Day. On Women's Day would like to pay my tribute to Raja Rammohan Roy and the men and women who share his spirit. Happy Women's Day to xxx wgaf wcm westminister techj terrific talktome sunny strength spark shady sapphire rage quetzal preppy pramod poonababe pinks pearl o3blogs nkotb nisha neelima my space mrs em miseema mflying mezzanine metallica mehak maria maya max maverick mausmi mann leonnerd kalpesh idiot happygrl gurlinluv gladiatrix gladiator geminidoc fantababy dasW doggy dj downtoearth dinesh commonsense colors busybee aztec arsd amuiscute amita and other bloggers:) I wish even the male bloggers because I believe Women's Day is now observed to highlight Women's Issues.

The present law on Marital Rape is a contradiction of the unanimous resolution at the UN conference in Beijing, September '95. The resolution guarantees every woman's right to say no to sex as she wishes, specifically wives. India. had signed in the Bejieng convention to make marital rape a crime in 1994. Yet even now a married woman has no right to say no. Even with her consent, sexual intercourse with a 15 year old girl will be rape, but even without her consent, sexual intercourse with a 15 year old girl will not be a rape, if the rapist is her husband. Punishment for raping a wife who is 12-15 years old and for raping a wife during seperation is far less for the husband compared with any other person raping her. Though the Child Marriage Restraint Act says the minimum age of the wife should be 18, when there is lack of punishment if the victim is above 15 or when the punishment for raping even a 12-15 year old is less, just because she is married to the rapist, the Rape laws goes against the spirit of action against Child Marriage. Even though a man can be raped by a woman under the clauses 3,4,5 & 6 of the Sec.375, IPC, it doesnt take this factor into account. In Manipur the upper age limit would be 13 instead of 15 and 14 instead of 16. Read More...Wednesday, 2 March 2005

Two pegs of whisky - 500 rupees , Four tequilla shots - 1000 rupees, Six cans of beers - 300 rupees Driving home the girl who drank all this - WORTHLESS!!! Muse : Hold on, you are writing an old internet forward the wrong way. Self : I know, but this is the way scientists would write it. Muse : Stop talking in riddles Self : http://health.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-1032334,curpg-1.cms The results of a research showed that, generally speaking, the greater the amount of alcohol drunk, the less likely a woman was to initiate sex. While alcohol appears to have a sexual lubricant effect in men, quite the reverse seems true for women. Muse : Interesting but surely there is a broader issue to think about. Self : Well John Gray had already written in "The Mars & Venus Diet & Exercise Solution" the same food brings about different reactions in men and women.There has been studies, on how the same intakes has different effects for men and women and perhaps in future, some medicines too could take into account these factors.. Muse : Stop, bettter just rewrite the internet forward only.

On 17th Feb, I came across an item in rediff.com on a boy from UP topping Nasa's ISD exam. And got the news confirmed from msn.co.in Though it wasnt in tone with my other posts, I posted the feel good news . A non regular blogger questioned me on the authencity in a blogsite on 21st and therefore I tried to verify it with NASA website http://www.nasa.gov It proved little difficult. And I couldnt find a press release, though its possible that the news item is there in the site, and my search faulty I have used google and rediff search engines too to gather more details about this exam. But other than this item, couldnt find more on the topic. Its possible that the exam exists, but i havent come across the links on it yet. Today, there has been a press release from the President's office mentioning that Dr.Kalam had not appeared for the exam . Of course though its possible that, even though Dr.Kalam had not appeared for the exam, the boy could have passed the exam. http://sify.com/news/othernews/fullstory.php?id=13677962 And I am still trying to find more details on the same. My sincere apologies to all the bloggers, for posting a news item which may not be true in part or in whole. ============================= Congrats Saurabh Singh. We are proud of you. http://autofeed.msn.co.in/pandorav3/output/News/8c627d67-953c-4be8-862d-75f9361b045a.aspx

Birth registration figures recently released show that at least one in seven girls in this town/city is eliminated at the foetal stage. The statistics using a model that took into account biological principles, said the 80:100 sex ratio of the 3 lakh births recorded during the first six months of last year indicates at least 30,000 `missing' girls. The birth records January and June 2004 only 819 girls were born for every 1,000 boys. According to Census of India , child sex ratio here was 915 girls to 1000 boys in 1991 and has fallen to 865 girls to 1,000 boys in 2001 -- well below the all-India average of 927 in 2001. * The statistics for the last three years is worse than the ones for the last 15 years * Please do not get confused between the 0-6 age ratio and the general ratio. In India, the 0-6 sex ratio was 976 in 1961, it declined to 964 in 1971, 962 in 1981 and 945 in 1991 and 927 in 2001. Btw according to the 2001 census the decline in female child population is in every state of India except Kerala, Mizoram, Tripura, Sikkim and Lakshadweep.
The city's most elite area, south Delhi, is the worst . In south Delhi, the figure is -- 762 girls to 1,000 boys. In Rohini, northwest Delhi, the ratio stands at 784 to 1,000, while in Najafgarh, in the southwest corner of the city near the Haryana border, it is 792 girls to 1,000 boys. from

I am sure everyone by now has seen the movie Black or read its review. I liked it. Because it didnt make use of : The Standard Film Formulas for Blind. I can think of 12 but I am sure the creative directors have more in store 1.
By the way, I think many forget the other black, Its black not just when there isnt light, but its also black when you dont have your life, your memories. Lets cherish the gifts we have, and appreciate the responsibilities that go with it. For those of you touched by the movie, sure we cant bring light to every visually challenged person. But after our death we can make a difference for two persons. http://www.myeyeworld.com/files/eyebanks.htm If its irritating, just to find a post in black, imagine how it would be to spend the life in darkness or in silence. Please dont hurt the eyes Decide to Donate Today
