Atithi Devo Bhava

Have you ever wanted to be known by all ? Or have you  ever wanted to get free lodging , fooding and security facilities from the central government for free? Moreover have you ever wanted to feature in the wikipedia ?
Well , everyone wants these . But , guys you will all be surprised to know that one can get all these in just one night or so. Just enroll yourself into a terrorist organisation .. come to india and shoot about a  few dozen people and get captured alive and VOILLA you are there.
What I am saying is reality .. 21 year old Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab achieved a similar feat .. a feat which we dream about ... by killing 66 innocent people in the 26/11 mumbai attack in 2008 .
India has again shown how much respect they do show to the guests who visit our country . We have been IMPARTIAL  in maintaining the golden words "ATITHI DEVO BHAVA" . Indian government have spent about $6.7 million which is in indian currency a staggering 30 crore on Kasab so far  which accounts to about 85 lacs per day.  Hell... all these four years of getting a btech degree and campuss interviews and Mba and all would not even get me close to that sum . Big business tycoons should rather envy him. Not to mention the free defense advocates he has been getting . Recently it was said that the court has Finalised his death sentence . Today morning i have seen that he has the right to appeal against it . So it will take ninety days for him to appeal and another ninety days to decide whether the appeal should be considered or not. So that also means bye bye 2011 and Congrats Kasab for spending another glorious year under the magnificent hospitability from our dear old government.
I have just one question.
Did kasab took so long to decide the fate of the 66 people he had killed ??
Had he given these people any chance to plea for their  lives ??
Thirty crore rupees have been spent on this person in a country  where a farmer commits suicide almost each and every day , where inflation keeps rising relentlessly where people live on streets with the hope of sumone to give them a penny to survive for a day . 
But all these are expected for a nation willing to serve our guests right from the dawn of the eighteenth century.
So one more time lets join our hands and lets greet our beloved guest and say "ATITHI DEVO BHAVA".

Must know Fact

Ever wondered that nowadays 9 out of 10 people carry with themselves a device which emits  harmful radiations which can lead to brain tumors , memory degradation, genotoxicity and even cancer??
Well  that device is no nuke weapon or any other voodoo devices we see in any over the top science fiction movies  but its our own dear old CELL PHONE .
Surprised?? you should be. Cell phones does emit harmful electromagnetic radiations and our exposure to such radiations is measured in SAR.
A cell phone's SAR, or its Specific Absorption Rate, is a measure of the amount of radio frequency (RF) energy absorbed by the body when using the handset. All cell phones emit RF energy and the SAR varies by handset model.
For a phone to receive FCC certification and be sold in the United States, its maximum SAR level must be less than 1.6 watts per kilogram. In Europe and India, the level is capped at 2 watts per kilogram, while Canada allows a maximum of 1.6 watts per kilogram.

Here are some of your favourite cell phones with their values.




Nokia phones have SAR values ranging from 0.6 to 1.3 W/kg













Samsung phones have SAR values ranging from 0.4 to 1.4 W/kg













    


  Motorola phones have SAR values ranging from  0.8 to 1.5 W/kg















Blackberry phones have SAR values between 0.9 to 1.5 W/kg










HTC phones have SAR between 0.7 to 1.5 W/kg






So being a bit selective about your cell phones by taking a peek at their SAR values can save you.

Other precautions that must be taken are :

 1.  Headset - A headset is a cell phone accessory can significantly decrease radiation exposure to your brain. Not a bluetooth headset or a wireless headset - a headset that plugs into the phone. This eliminates cell phone radiation near your brain.

2.  Speakerphone - Use speaker phone as often as possible. Speakerphone also reduces the cell phone radiation exposure you will experience because you do not have to keep the cell phone near you.

3.Cell Phone Radiation Shielding Case - This can prevent radiation exposure while the phone is in your pocket or clipped to your belt. It dissipates the radiation so that it decreases going into your body. They also have clips and antenna radiation disbursers.



So, as you are now aware of the above facts and help yourself starting from today.
