Business in times of Ash

By
The mountain Herðubreið, interior of Iceland, ...Image via Wikipedia



In India the mention of Ash so far reminded you of spouse of Mr. Abhishek Bachan, otherwise known as Aishwarya Rai.

The volcanic eruption in Iceland has changed that point of view now. Now ash belongs to the sky where she belongs. 

This presents several business opportunities for entrepreneurs and I would list a few of them.



I think the government of respective countries should come forward and find reasons to blow some taxpayers money.

  1. A filter in front of aircraft engine to suck ash and feed engine with pure air. The product could have specifications as to what percentage of ingredients will be let through and what would be trapped and released in mid air.
  2. A cross Atlantic train service connecting Europe to Americas. Please ensure tracks do not touch ocean floors. Product specs/differentiation could be tsunami resistant, quake resistant, whale repellent.
  3. Acid free roof tops. Construction materials that prevent entry of acid  from ash clouds coming from top/windows/doors which might be mixed with the H2O rains that we used to have some years back.
  4. Security services that specialize in volcano safety. This event could encourage terror outfits to enlist more volcanoes in their fight to liberate the earth from clean living and climate.
Also I believe that global warming might be a little too much for these volcanoes from Iceland and other places of earth. They have already started puffing and coughing unable to bear the heat.



What is your take on the Icelandic cloud release?

Success is exchange of energy

By
The definition of success is very elusive. It means different things in different phases of life to different people. When I was in school and college it was to pass somehow. When I was in 12th it was to get into engineering somehow. When I was in job it was to make more money anyhow. When you were in marriage it was to demand happiness and feel proud in pronouncing to yourself that every act of a frustrating job was for the sake of family and their well being. I was focusing on doing. I was focusing on achievement. So whenever I reflected back in life I always felt less. I could have been an IITian, I could not crack CAT. I could not join an organization during their early stock offer days. I could not go to US and earn in dollars. I simply missed doing too many things.  Now I feel lack of achievement. Now I feel lack of doing. Did I miss out on something while I was undergoing all this doing? Why was I nervous all this while? Why did one achievement led to other? Why...

Shivani, Brahmakumaries and Aastha channel

By
She comes twice on TV from 7:10 PM to 7:40 PM and 10:30 to 11:00 PM on Aastha channel. The spiritual channel story in India is on same lines as that of Aaj Tak , which was run by local ads before the big boys put ads on them. Today Shivani, a Brahmakumari mentioned that 99% of the cause of anger and frustration is elsewhere, it is not in the spur of the moment, when you hurt somebody or get hurt by somebody. Instead of reacting instantaneously , or pestering the reaction in the mind post the incident till eternity , can you wonder "Why is that soul so angry, what is bothering her? I am sure there is something more than what she has told me now?". The chain of thoughts that emerge lead you to compassion, releases love vibrations into the air. Love has a very subtle medium to reach out. You cannot yell and throw around love and claim that you are helping somebody by your love. You have to surrender to love and let love take over. You cannot correct the world. You can onl...

fix for tweetmeme button on blogger

By
This was the second time when I was pained to locate a proper place to place the tweetmeme buton in blogger. The tutorial has suggested keeping it between b:loop values = 'data:posts' var = 'post'> and ‘b:loop’. Also there are two such places where you can place the code. If you place in lower one then it will appear only if ads appear in your blog. The above has not worked for me and I am not sure about you, do you Meme?. I searched for a place near the spans at end of post and put it above the below line " <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> And it seems to work. You can meme below and retweet and check for yourself. Have you been struggling with button placement in blogger?
