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!!

The Secret of the Nagas (Shiva Trilogy #2)

The Secret of the Nagas by: Amish Tripathi Rating: 4.2/5.0   Today, He is a God.  4000 years ago, He was just a man. The hunt is on. The sinister Naga warrior has killed his friend Brahaspati and now stalks his wife Sati. Shiva, the Tibetan immigrant who is the prophesied destroyer of evil, will not rest till he finds his demonic adversary. His vengeance and the path to evil will lead him to the door of the Nagas, the serpent people. Of that he is certain. The evidence of the malevolent rise of evil is everywhere. A kingdom is dying as it is held to ransom for a miracle drug. A crown prince is murdered. The Vasudevs Shivas philosopher guides betray his unquestioning faith as they take the aid of the dark side. Even the perfect empire, Meluha is riddled with a terrible secret in Maika, the city of births. Unknown to Shiva, a master puppeteer is playing a grand game. In a journey that will take him across the length and breadth of ancient India, Shiva...

Number 1 - Numerology

The number 1 in numerology is the aspiration of humankind, what we hope to achieve.  It is everything and all included into one.  It represents God, Human, the Sun and the heart in your physical body.  From the 1 all things begin.  It is a masculine number, the aloneness, originality, and positivity.  The element is fire and from the 1 all things come (at least from this point forward, we will see later how the zero (0) holds even more power).

Working out your Life Path Number - Numerology

To calculate your Life Path Number, write down your birth date and total up the digits of each number (month, day and year) in your Birth Date separately, do not reduce 11′s or 22′s. Continue to add the digits of these three numbers together until you have one number between 1 and 55. Life Path Number Example: If you were born on November 13, 1990 (11/13/1990), then you would add Month: 11 (Do not reduce) Date: 13 = 1 + 3 = 4 Year: 1990 = 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19 = 1 + 9 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1 So, this equals 11 + 4 + 1 = 16/7 (16 is the Life Path Number, 7 is 1 + 6 reduced.)
