Does it really show how rich you are?

www.globalrichlist.com This website claims to tell you how rich you are (percentage) in the whole world basing on your annual salary without considering the family member that you are supporting or your necessary expenditure. Also it assumes that you earn more than Rs.17530/- annually as you cannot enter that value or below. The deductions I have made by entering different values is that the site really has just taken the richest person's property value and based on that and an estimate of world population from UN calculates your position in the "Rich List" which would be very vague. Do not get disappointed or be very happy if you get to know your position on the list.

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 ca...

A History in the Making

Indian PM, Narendra Modi has announced the cancellation of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes and launched new Rs. 2000 notes. This has created mixed response from the public. People had posed many questions, like what was the need to launch 2000Rs. notes? Do the people standing in the line have black money? Who is going to take responsibility for those who died while waiting in those lines? PM Modi has promised to bring black money from outside India, where is it? And many more... Have you ever thought that if our previous PMs would have taken strict actions against black money and terrorism, we would never have needed this change. What did we do when people were taking bribes? Did we stop them? No, instead we looked for an easy way out. What did we do when our ministers kept backing out from their promises after elections? We just sat and watched and then made comments on India's situation. Think before you raise questions. We will have more discussion on this and you are wel...

A night at Sangam, Allahabad

I had a chance to go to outer part of Allahabad District few months ago. I was to live there and become a teacher for class 8 to 10 at a private school. This was a good opportunity for me as I always wanted a chance to live in Allahabad, though I did get to be in the main city itself. With this I also had a chance to visit the very famous 'Sangam'. I heard a lot of things about Sangam from being very peaceful to being absolutely marvelous. I found all of those to be very true. The only thing is that the people have Made the rivers go so low that Sangam has lost its strength that I so much heard about. I got to see it from the new bridge on the Sangam. Here are a few pics that I have clicked...

Becoming a guiding light for someone...

Now, I don't wanna brag about myself, so I will say this beforehand, that this is about me but in a good way and not as arrogance and attitude. Yesterday I met a girl at my workplace. She is a new in-training colleague. Now this is not about what comes to your mind immediately. This girl is being mentioned because she wants to start up a blog. And I somehow got to know it while having a casual conversation. So we immediately got to talking about this crazy thing, and in a crazy way. I must say here that I love blogging, Though, I do not get much time to blog, you know being busy and all. the usual excuse. But I do love it. And whenever I can, I Blog. Now this girl wants to start up a blog and cannot decide what topic to start with, how to go about it, and rest of the things we all would have thought of when we planned on starting up a blog. I understood her situation because around 4 years ago I was in a similar situation, and there was nobody to help me out. Finding ...
