Wikipedia in need of Donations

Snapshot from Wikipedia page
We all have used Wikipedia at least once in our lifetime, and if you are familiar with the internet, you would know that almost all the information can be found on Wikipedia. It's been more than a decade since Wikipedia came into existence and soon after its birth it became really famous.

Any event, person, Information, anything at all… you may find it on wiki and if not, you may not find it at all. Do you know that it was all for free. Wikipedia never had ads on it (One reason, among many others, why we love it so much) and it ran just based on a community of volunteers. It is the only website amongst the Top Ten being run non-profit.

Very recently, I have found that Wikipedia is requesting donations to help it sustain. It seems that they have run out of cash for the site. They want to run it free from ads and independent. I say we can help them and we should. We have used their services for quite some time now.

The minimum that we can give is Rs.100.
It's what you would spend on unnecessary things each week. If all of us donate just Rs.200 only even then it is going to be more than enough.
Let's help our saviours people. Let us make Wikipedia run again. Now is the time we give.

Don't worry Jimmy, we are here!!

Number 0 - Numerology

In Numerology the number 0 is often not used, though I consider it to be one of the most valuable numbers in numerology as it enhances any other number that appears with (before, or after). It can be thought of as a two dimensional spiral of divine force representing both female and male qualities. The number zero is represented by the Moon and vibrationally by eternity and the sound of the OM. From this sound (or vibration) all other numbers came. Inside of the circle (representing our universe) you can think of all other things existing. If you think of this circle as enclosing all physical space in the universe you will see that it contains all of the other elements of the universe inside of it (earth, water, fire, air, and the ether itself).

Diverting People's Minds

Congress has been trying to divert everyone's attention from focusing on the good things that we people might do instead of stretching former IPL chief Lalit Modi's escape to UK. Now I am no member or supporter of any political party, but as a responsible citizen of the country I do have my opinions.

Supernatural

Do you believe in Ghosts or such Supernatural beings? This question has been there since time immemorial. A large section of people around the world consider these as just made up phony theories and superstitious beliefs, used for telling interesting stories or scaring kids. But is it really so? There has been a long history of such scary stories. Many movies have now been filmed based on said true events, such as Annabelle, Conjuring and such other. But considering that it just might be a publicity stunt from the film-makers, we can deny it. But what if something of the sort happens with you in reality? Would you believe it then?
