<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
    As the days pass by we loose interest in what we have already
    experienced. So there is always an attempt to see and
    experience new things. But we can’t have the likes of Thomas
    Alva Edison’s to invent new things every day. However, with the
    developments in technology and wild thinking added with
    commitments and interest to experiment, we can atleast magnify
    the intensity of pleasure.
</p>
<p>
    There are many wild imaginations given physical shape
    challenging the invented technologies. In these lines I am
    presenting you a collection of a few world class thrill
    generators from Cedar Point Amusement Park, Ohio, Six Flags
    California Theme Park, Kings Isand, Ohio, Disneyland, Florida,
    etc.
</p>
<p>
    When it comes to thrill, the ride lovers will agree that
    nothing can match roller coasters because it cannot be
    explained in words but only can be experienced. There are
    people who cherish the pain as well as thrill while they ride
    these roller coasters and there are a few who shiver at the
    mention of this particular ride.
</p>
<p>
    Can anything else thrill better? After all, there is no gain
    without pain.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
    I was wondering today that when we use SexyBookmarks of
    Wordpress or Blogger, does it hurt the <span class=
    "caps">SEO</span> ?
</p>
<p>
    Usually when we add widgets to Digg and re-Tweet our blog
    articles, the codes provided to add them right on the blogs is
    a javascript which is not indexed by google. Now this widget
    gives an images directly linked to these bookmarking sites with
    additional parameters of our blog automatically.

<title><![CDATA[Mixing Kids and Money - How do you do it?]]></title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
    This is a topic that has always intrigued me – how do I teach
    my kids the right lessons about Money Management? When do they
    start handling money independently? Let’s discuss a bit about
    the top few questions about Kids and Money in this post.
</p>
<p>
    <b>1. What’s the most important tool for teaching kids about
    Money Management?</b> The answer is simple – It’s education.
    The best tool you can provide your kids is the knowledge that
    they’re getting things from life very easily – which their old
    man/woman did not. I admit that all of us want our kids to have
    the best in life and do not want to deny them the comforts of
    life, however, we need to stop going overboard.
</p>
<p>
    <b>2. When should kids start to have money of their own?</b>
    I’d say – Right after they are born. I mean – it’s important
    for you to provide financial security to your kids, right? So
    as soon as you can, invest for them, their financial security
    and their education.

<title><![CDATA[Creative Inspiration: The Pulse That Beats Within Us All]]></title>
<link>http://www.indianpad.com/story/717671</link>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
    It doesn’t matter whether you are an architect, gardener, or
    bus driver, everyone has the ability to find the distinct
    beauty embedded deep inside their daily grind. The problem
    isn’t capturing our creativity, as individual inspiration is a
    steady pulse that beats within us all. The problem is keeping
    those embers hot once we have them in our grasp.
</p>
<p>
    Keeping the flames of our creativity close to an inferno takes
    decisive commitment. Fire dies without tinder, so will
    creativity collapse to ash without the needed fuel. Coaxing our
    creative core requires listening to the quiet whisper of
    instinct, trusting the honor of its voice, and then doing
    everything you can to bargain, cajole, or trick yourself into
    following its advice to the letter.
</p>
<p>
    The start of any project is often the most difficult as the
    rewards are slow to arrive. Yet taming the creative beast is
    well worth the best of your patience. You will eventually reach
    the tipping point where your brain can function with
    automaticity and your every action is but an extension of
    breath.

    Democracy does not really come easy for the sizeable segment of
    nearly 5,000 sex workers in Budhwarpeth, the biggest red light
    area of the city. Volunteers of various NGOs had helped several
    commercial sex workers in the 2004 elections to enrol
    themselves but five years later the situation has not improved
    much.

    It seems Karnataka is the most happening state in India from
    what we have seen in the last few months. If you have to take a
    look at most of the National Newspapers or Channels, then one
    can find that there is a clear obsession with whatever happens
    in Karnataka.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
    Our Future Prime Minister Shri Rahul Gandhi has been busy
    touring Gujarat ahead of the Elections. The ‘Youth’ leader was
    interacting with some youth of Ahmedabad and in the course made
    some statements which indeed proves his General Knowledge (or
    should we say the lack of it??).
</p>
<p>
    Well Rahul Gandhi first says that the state of Gujarat is
    bigger than United Kingdom for which he gets a big round of
    applause from his admirers. But the matter of fact is that
    Gujarat is 196,077 sq. km while United Kingdom is 244,820 sq.
    km which is lesser than that of Gujarat right? The new logic is
    if a= 10 and if b = 15, then a&gt;b right?

<title><![CDATA[Pink Chaddi Campaign’s Logo defaming Hindu’s Sacred OM Symbol?]]></title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
    On the left side is the Om Symbol (all Hindus know what it is
    and what it means). And on the right side you see the logo of
    the ‘Pink Chaddi Campaign’. Make out for yourself if the image
    on the right side is a satirical take of Hindu’s sacred symbol
    or not. I feel very offended that some incident in Mangalore
    should result in opportunistic bashing of my Hindu religion.
</p>
<p>
    <img src=

</p>
<p>
    When the creator of the Pink Chaddi campaign is one Nisha Susan
    (you can understand that she is a probably a Christian by the
    second name), I can suspect that this was an attempt to
    ridicule Hinduism by the defaming picture that of replacing Om
    with an Underwear! So someone like me will point a figure about
    the intentions of this Pink Chaddi campaign, it has clearly
    hurt my feelings and I am pretty certain that many Hindus would
    feel the same looking at the images. <a href=

<title><![CDATA[What is Recession ?]]></title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
    This story is about a man who once upon a time was selling
    Hotdogs by the roadside. He was illiterate, so he never read
    newspapers. He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the
    radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. But
    enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs.
</p>
<p>
    He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to
    increase his sales. His sales and profit went up. He ordered
    more a more raw material and buns and sold more. He recruited
    more supporting staff to serve more customers. He started
    offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger
    and better stove. As his business was growing, the son, who had
    recently graduated from college, joined his father.
</p>
<p>
    Then something strange happened.
</p>
<p>
    The son asked, “Dad, aren’t you aware of the great recession
    that is coming our way?” The father replied, “No, but tell me
    about it.” The son said, “The international situation is
    terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be
    prepared for the coming bad times.”
</p>
<p>
    The man thought that since his son had been to college, read
    the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV. He ought to
    know and his advice should not be taken lightly. So the next
    day onwards, the father cut down the his raw material order and
    buns, took down the colorful signboard, removed all the special
    schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as
    enthusiastic. He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs.
    Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his
    Hotdog stand. And his sales started coming down rapidly and so
    did the profit. The father said to his son, “Son, you were
    right”. “We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am
    glad you warned me ahead of time.”
</p>
<p>
    Moral of the Story: It’s all in your MIND! And we actually
    <span class="caps">FUEL</span> this recession much more than we
    think.

<title><![CDATA[The top 5 Immigrant Lessons for being successful in America]]></title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
    It must be more than a coincidence – I looked closely at some
    immigrant families that have migrated to the US, and I saw that
    almost all of them have characteristics that fall into several
    of the following : Successful, Highly Educated, Thrifty, Rich,
    Happy…you get the drift. So I thought to myself, what are these
    folks doing that makes them so successful?
</p>
<p>
    They must have some magic mantra chant. My research led me to
    the following facts which seem to have a major influence upon
    their success:
</p>
<p>
    1. Relationships are for keeps – If you want your partner to be
    perfect, then you’d better be perfect too. Since being perfect
    is impossible, it follows that neither you nor your partner is
    ever going to be perfect. So, once you enter a relationship,
    don’t take the easy exit. No relationship is going to be
    perfect, so learn to live with imperfections.
</p>
<p>
    Financial Impact – No messy divorces, no alimony, peace of
    mind.

    A Spanish mother has taken revenge on the man who raped her
    13-year-old daughter at knifepoint by dousing him in petrol and
    setting him alight. He died of his injuries in hospital on
    Friday. Antonio Cosme Velasco Soriano, 69, had been sent to
    jail for nine years in 1998, but was out on a three-day pass
    and taunted the victims’ mother.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
    In all the major newspapers in the country, one important item
    in the news is the big hoopla about Senators Grassley and
    Sanders who introduced an amendment in the US Stimulus bill
    that – simply put – seeks to ban all stimulus payment
    recipients from employing any workers with H1B visas. Why all
    the ire against the H1B visa in particular? Why the singling
    out of Indian companies especially? Before we pass judgment on
    the Senators decisions, let’s consider the reality – as they
    see it.
</p>
<p>
    Here are some details about the H1B visa that the common man
    does not know (important points highlighted). Firstly, the H1B
    visa is meant for American companies to fill temporary
    shortages in their workforce. The workers hired, if found
    suitable and willing, would then embrace the American way of
    life and elect to settle down in the US for good. To facilitate
    this, the American employer would sponsor a Permanent Residency
    for the worker (aka the “Green Card“) and thus, the US would
    gain another skilled worker, thus enriching it’s brain power,
    the worker would gain citizenship of the United States and the
    employer would gain a happy employee – a win-win situation for
    all.
</p>
<p>
    Now, let’s see how the H1B is practically used.

<p>
    It seems every year on valentines day or whatever day it be
    these stupid people gang up to beat youth around the country
    today in Ujjain a 9th class kid who was on his way on with his
    elder sister was beaten up by bajrangdal people are what they
    doing is correct
</p>
<p>
    There are so many problems in india including poverty and
    cyclones that come every year do these bajrang dal and ram sena
    people show there bloody faces when the country is in trouble
    nooooo never when mumbai was attacked did ram sena or bajrang
    dal show up noo
</p>
<p>
    <a href=
    "http://data4.blog.de/media/859/1661859_a05f2ff4c0_m.jpg"><img src="http://www.indianpad.com/imgcache/data4.blog.de/5d029cf61c1e34ebb9aeb295ded00cdb.jpg"
    alt=""></a>
</p>
<p>
    Then why come up now, I think the parents of Indian kids are
    very much sincere and aware they can take care of their own
    kids if they can’t the kids will learn from their own mistakes
    who the hell are these people to beat up kids any way. If
    someone else is walking on a road with his girlfriend holding
    her hand why do these people have problem.
</p>
<p>
    They should look after their own kids who gave them authority
    to beat others
</p>
<p>
    <b>Never vote or support these jealous human beings if you find
    them beat the hell out of Bajrang dal people if they are such
    big supporters of hinduism why dont they spread hinduism in
    other countries and go home to home teaching lessons of vedas
    and Bhagwat Gita.</b>
</p>
<p>
    <b>They are just bloody idiots</b>

<p>
    There has been much speculation since Israel started bombarding
    the Hamas, questions have been asked as to why India does not
    follow suite and take it to Pakistan, I have asked my question
    myself but found it a bit difficult to understand, below is an
    article I found on Forbes which gives 5 reasons for a War
    agains Pakistan not being possible from an Indian
    perspective.<br>
</p>
<p>
    1. India is not a military Goliath in relation to Pakistan in
    the way Israel is to the Palestinian territories. India does
    not have the immunity, the confidence and the military free
    hand that result from an overwhelming military superiority over
    an opponent. Israel’s foe is a non-sovereign entity that enjoys
    the most precarious form of self-governance. Pakistan, for all
    its dysfunction, is a proper country with a proper army,
    superior by far to the tin-pot Arab forces that Israel has had
    to combat over time. Pakistan has nukes, to boot. Any assault
    on Pakistani territory carries with it an apocalyptic risk for
    India. This is, in fact, Pakistan’s trump card. (This explains,
    also, why Israel is determined to prevent the acquisition of
    nuclear weapons by Iran.)

    <p>
        You have been elected by the first anti-war constituency
        since 1952, when Eisenhower was elected after promising to
        end the Korean War. But ending a war isn’t the same as
        bringing peace. America has been on a war footing since the
        day after Pearl Harbor, sixty-seven years ago. We spend
        more on our military than the next sixteen countries
        combined. If you have a vision of change that goes to the
        heart of this country’s deep problems, ending our
        dependence on war is far more important than ending our
        dependency on foreign oil.

    Well this first came to my attention when I was watching the
    movie – Lord Mountbatten – The Last Viceroy on World Movies
    Channel. There was a scene where Edwina (the wife of Lord
    Mountbatten) is emotionally talking to Nehru about innocent
    people getting massacred during the partition. Nehru in that
    movie was shown as touching Edwina on her shoulders and then
    embracing her. Hang on, is this Indian culture? Embracing
    someone’s wife? This didn’t look that good at all!

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
    I have a strange feeling that a military conflict between India
    and Pakistan seems to be inevitable looking at the words that
    have been coming from both the nations. It’s not just the words
    but also the actions of both the countries in mobilizing their
    respective troops towards the border. Pakistan is certainly
    building up the tension by all the air sorties and other acts
    that it has carried out and it is of course expected from the
    Indian side to remain extremely alert in case of any aggression
    from the other side.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
    I am sure many will agree with me that the recent coverage of
    the India-England Series on Neo Cricket was absolutly rubbish.
    I am not talking about the commentators or the men in the
    Studio but instead about the way the broadcaster used to switch
    over for Ads. Between each over there would be a minimum of
    three advertisements and that would really perplex the viewer
    whether there was any hold up in play all the time. Most times
    we would get to miss the first ball of an over and the last
    ball of the match wouldn’t be replayed immediately if there was
    any special event such as a boundary, six or even a wicket.

    A <span class="caps">CNN-IBN</span> and Hindustan Times

    With Christmas comes the festive season and hence, begins the
    preparation for the arrival of New Year. Christmas means
    celebration time, and celebrating with friends and folks means
    splurging money extravagantly. We all rejoice and revel on this
    occasion by spending whopping amount of money buying clothes,
    gifts, cards, accessories, decorations, etc., every year, and
    why not after all its party time.

    Forget Iraq or Iran. It is relatively clear that Pakistan and
    its peripheral tribal areas today pose the greatest immediate
    threat to America and its war on terrorism. (In fact, just days
    after the audacious attack on Mumbai, the Taliban destroyed 250
    <span class="caps">NATO</span> supply trucks in Peshawar, bound
    for Afghanistan, in consecutive attacks). No wonder
    President-elect Barack Obama, somewhat naively, gave India the
    imprimatur to take out ‘high-value’ targets in Pakistan and
    protect itself, like any sovereign nation, in response to the
    terror emanating from across the borders.

    Nearly half of the women questioned by Harris Interactive said
    they’d be willing to forgo sex for two weeks, rather than give
    up their Internet access, according to a study released Monday
    by <a href=
    "http://scoop.intel.com/2008/12/the-internet-could-you-give-it-up.php">
    Intel, which commissioned the survey</a>.

</p>
<p>
    While 46 percent of the women surveyed were willing to engage
    in abstinence verses losing their Internet, only 30 percent of
    the men surveyed were willing to do likewise.
</p>
<p>
    The U.S. survey, which queried 2,119 adults last month, found
    that the gap grew even wider for both men and woman who were 18
    to 34 years old. For woman, the percentage of those willing to
    skip the sheets in favor of the Web rose to 49 percent, while
    it climbed to 39 percent for men.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
    Folks,
</p>
<p>
    With the recent happenings in Mumbai, there is a clamour of
    voices suggesting, nay, exhorting India to go to war
    <span class="caps">ASAP</span>. On the other hand, fierce
    verbal wars have already erupted in cyberspace. The Indian side
    reiterates that Pak is a terrorist nation while the Pakistani
    side denies. In the course of following one such discussion, I
    visited some Pakistani newspaper websites and was surprised to
    see how the same news is portrayed in an exactly opposite
    manner in both countries. Below are some examples:
</p>
<p>
    <strong>1. The elections in Kashmir</strong><br>
    <a href=
    "http://ibnlive.in.com/news/kashmir-voters-defy-freezing-chill-poll-boycott-calls/79999-30-53.html">
    <span class="caps">IBN</span> Live says</a> – Hundreds of
    thousands defied freezing temperatures and poll boycott call by
    separatists to vote in the fourth of the seven-phase Jammu and
    Kashmir elections on Sunday. An estimated 55 per cent of the
    1.4 million voters in 18 constituencies of the state exercised
    their franchise peacefully, elections officials said. Fears of
    violence in the Valley’s separatist strongholds, which went to
    polls, turned out to be misplaced as large numbers of people
    came out to vote. Barring minor incidents and anti-poll
    protests, balloting ended peacefully with enthusiastic voters
    trickling in at a steady pace.
</p>
<p>
    <a href=
    "http://pakobserver.net/200812/08/news/topstories04.asp">The
    Observer says</a> – Kashmiris on Sunday stayed away from fourth
    phase of elections held in 18 constituencies of Baramulla,
    Sopore, Budgam and Udampur in occupied Kashmir. A spokesman of
    Kashmir Coordination Committee said in Srinagar that despite
    use of force, Kashmiris distanced from sham elections on the
    call of Hurriyat leaders. Officials in Baramulla also admitted
    low turn out in the elections. India held the elections under
    tight security and thousands of military personnel were
    deployed on the polling stations. Reports said six to seven
    percent turn out was recorded in Sopore and Baramulla
    constituencies to which Kashmiri leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani
    belongs. Hundreds of people took to the streets and staged
    massive anti-election demonstrations.
</p>
<p>
    <strong>2. One third of Indian states want separation</strong>
    – This was a new one for me. Also, note how the title and
    article are totally unrelated.
</p>
<p>
    <a href=
    "http://pakobserver.net/200812/08/news/topstories07.asp">The
    Observer says</a> – What about the Indian-Mossad relationship,
    credible evidence that the Mossad provides all kind of support
    to the Indian military, aid their intelligence development,
    exercising joint paramilitary programmes along the Siachin
    border with Pakistan. Many Muslim haters blamed Pakistan for
    terrorism in India because they don’t have knowledge of what is
    happening in India. Just 2 days ago, another attack by Assamese
    freedom fighters killed and wounded some and thousands in the
    last 20 years. All eastern states, in Bihar, Orissa, and Andhra
    state the Maoist, Christian, vegetarian you name it are
    fighting these Hindu devils like <span class="caps">RSS</span>,
    Shiv Sena, and BJP….. etc. One third of the Indian states want
    separation, even the Bengali and Punjabi tried in the 70’ and
    80’s, but were brutally suppressed by the ruling elites of the
    Hindi belt and their stooges in other states, and over 100,000
    died in those civil wars. This is real India.
</p>
<p>
    There is no equivalent on the Indian side for this one.
</p>
<p>
    <strong>3. Mumbai attacks : Emerging Indo-Israeli
    nexus</strong> – Wow – is there no limit to their imagination?
</p>
<p>
    <a href="http://pakobserver.net/200812/08/Editorial01.asp">The
    Observer says</a> – Israeli military connection has never been
    a secret but this collusion is now presenting a real threat to
    the security of Pakistan in the wake of Mumbai attacks.
    According to reports, Israeli intelligence and military
    authorities are in touch with their Indian counterparts to work
    out plans for surgical strikes inside Pakistan against, what is
    being propagated, militants’ targets. Other reports pouring in
    from different sources also confirm that something was cooking
    up and the two anti-Pakistan forces have joined hands against
    the country for their own reasons.
</p>
<p>
    <a href=
    "http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/US_UK_Israel_ramp_up_intelligence_aid_to_India/articleshow/3770950.cms">
    ToI says</a> – Unprecedented intelligence cooperation involving
    investigating agencies and spy outfits of India, United States,
    United Kingdom and Israel has got underway to crack the method
    and motive behind the Mumbai terrorist massacre, now widely
    blamed on Islamist radicals who appeared to have all four
    countries on their hit list when they arrived on the shores of
    India. Investigators, forensic analysts, counter-terrorism
    experts and spymasters from agencies the four countries are
    converging in New Delhi and Mumbai to put their heads,
    resources, and skills together to understand the evolving
    nature of the beast. The spy chief of the Pakistan’s
    Inter-Services Intelligence(<span class="caps">ISI</span>) is
    also being summoned to India to help with the investigations
    because of the widely-held view that the terrorists’ footprints
    go back to Pakistan.
</p>
<p>
    <strong>4. Obama’s advice to India</strong>
</p>
<p>
    <a href=
    "http://pakobserver.net/200812/08/news/topstories09.asp">The
    Observer says</a> – President-elect of the United States Barack
    Obama called for a ‘strategic partnership’ with India, Pakistan
    and Afghanistan against terror. He said in an interview aired
    on <span class="caps">NBC</span> programme that every nation
    had the right to self-defence but declined to say whether India
    could pursue Pakistan-based extremists accused of orchestrating
    the Mumbai attacks. “So far Pakistani President Asif Ali
    Zardari has sent the right signals. He has indicated that he
    understands this is not just a threat to the United States but
    a threat to Pakistan,” he said.
</p>
<p>
    <a href=
    "http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India_has_right_to_protect_itself_Obama/rssarticleshow/3781630.cms">
    ToI says</a> – Sovereign nations have the right to protect
    themselves, US president-elect Barack Obama said on Monday,
    when asked if India could follow the same policy he advocated
    during his election campaign — of bombing terrorist camps in
    Pakistan if there was actionable evidence and Islamabad refused
    to act on it. Although Obama said he did not want to comment on
    the specific situation involving India and Pakistan, his tacit
    endorsement of New Delhi adopting the same policy was
    circumscribed by two caveats: first, let the investigators
    reach definite conclusions about the Mumbai carnage, and
    second, see if Pakistan will follow through with its commitment
    to cooperate in eliminating terrorism.<br>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
    The invasion of Mumbai by Pakistani terrorists is but a replay
    of times past: The periodic and predictable arrival of
    barbarians over the Khyber Pass, laying waste to the
    countryside, and wreaking untold damage on a long-suffering
    populace. The only crime that the average Indian committed was
    to focus on the creation of wealth; of course, the barbarians
    came because of the wealth. Today, once again, India is
    generating capital, and the intention is to thwart its economic
    rise.
</p>
<p>
    Then, as now, the rulers failed the populace. There is an
    implicit contract between the rulers and the ruled: You pay the
    taxes, obey the rules, and we ensure that your life, liberty
    and pursuit of happiness are unhindered. India’s ruling class
    failed signally to honour this contract — they never did figure
    out that the simple expedient of defending the Khyber and Bolan
    passes would be enough to save the plains, because nature had
    been kind enough to build the impregnable Himalayas all around
    India.

    Attacks after attacks, bombs after bombs, is this the meaning
    of a secured, democratic state? For long India has been leading
    the race against terrorists and terrorism and has been a very
    strong messenger of peace and harmony. And now, these anti
    social elements have not spared our nation too.
