Akshardham temple complex set to become major attraction of Delhi.

Akshardham temple complex set to become major attraction of Delhi
Akshardham temple complex in Delhi-a sprawling pink sandstone and white marble temple complex of the Swaminarayan sect-was opened in November, 2005.
The complex will double up as a modern centre of spirituality and learning about Indian culture. Once opened it is expected to become a major tourist attraction of Delhi.
The temple complex will be spread on 30 acres of the Yamuna bank. Its architecture draws inspiration from the temples of Badrinath (Uttaranchal), Somnath (Gujarat) and Konark (Orissa).
Swaminarayan Sect that controls Akshardham complex seems to have been part of the bhakti movement and born of the philosophy of Sahajanand Swami (1781-1830) who was considered an incarnation of Lord Swaminarayan and was a powerful social activist.

EXAMS OVER BUT>>>>>

Whooooooooooooooo….at last exams over…..
And I guess it just got over 4 almost all anna univ dudes n dudettes here..so one more sem n one more round of toilin over..appaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
Guys as most of u might b knowin m doin or rather finished my 5th sem..tht makes me happy not bcoz I hav done well but coz I don’t hav 2 prepare 4 the nxt 2 months..yes i belong 2 the group tht prepares 4 the exms in de last minute quite literally….
Now this is getting really irritating..how lng can this go on like this??..is it tht m meant 2 b this way??
Hopefully I hav a few companions here..:)..nyway seriously how many of us here really work n study the subject the way it’s meant 2 be..very few right??..
Have u ever thought y this is happenin??..coz the whole system is stupid da tht’s y!!!
Do u ever recollect an incident in school where in u hav actually learnt by doin??..the answer to question would certainly b no with most of us…we have never really learnt by actually workin with objects n stuff…the labs in our schools never really allowed us to experiment in the sense tht we did not hav the freedom 2 try out new things..we were instead careful as to not break the instrument n pay de fine....ohhhhh god how I used 2 make short-cuts 2 remember the readings jus in case I don’t get the output…this continues in my coll too..m quite sure most of u might b able to relate to this...old habits die hard very true…
There can b one more point of view to this whole thing..that we r not putting in the required effort…I totally object this..if not partially agreeing…I m sure tht each of u must hav come across atleast one staff who has made u get interested in the subject..u know wat I mean im talking abt the staff who command respect coz of there knowledge n right approach tht even the worst of the worst will listen to..so it's partially in the teachin tooo..
So wat’s the ultimate solution 4 all this mess..our education system that is..it’s gotta change..encouragement to creative thinking will do world of good to the wonderful kids of tomorrow..but there is one pitfall to this though…the country can't recover the lost intelligence of this prodigy(..too bad..:(... n of course my friends who r readin this toooooooooo....

MY RESERVATIONS ON RESERVATION

I am a Hindu by religion. But that is not the reason for my reservations against reservation. I feel that the very basis on which this great nation was built has been raped by our politians.yes I m talking about secularism and it’s degradation in India. Reservation was first brought in this country post independence with an idea of providing enlistment of the downtrodden sections of our society but alas this no longer serves the purpose. It is now been used for vote bank politics. We now have a political party for almost all religions. This has led to a pathetic state of affairs. We no longer find any party that is able to capture a majority in the parliament. The arithmetic to form a got is forming the basis of political alliances rather than the thought processes. Due to this critical reforms that are necessary for the development of the country and realization of the India of our dreams remains just politely.
This has got to change. And it’s possible only if the youth of this nation unite. I’m not totally against the idea of reservation. My argument is that if at all there is need for reservation let it be on the basis of economic status rather than religion. Why do we need reservation for wealthy Muslims n Christians if they are quite well off n have all the facilities to compete with any other person??

FABRICATION PLANT WAT EVERY INDIAN HAS TO KNOW

(image placeholder)
WHAT IS A FABRICATION PLANT

A fabrication plant (or fab) is a term used to describe a factory where microchips, more popularly called chips on silicon wafers, are manufactured. These chips have packaged integrated circuits imprinted on them and are used in almost all electronic devices ranging from computers to cell phones and digital microwave ovens. Chips are made from silicon wafers, which is a thin, circular disk of extremely pure, crystalline silicon, typically six or eight inches in diameter. How much investment is required to put up one? Fabrication plants can cost billions of dollars of capital expenditures to create. It costs anywhere between $3-5bn to set up a fab.

What kind of companies invest in fabs? The best known are chip makers Intel and AMD who primarily make chips used in computers. Intel dominates the market chips which go into Pcs and laptops, and has a market share of around 85%. AMD is the only other biggish player with a 13% share. Companies like Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics and Infineon invest in fabs which mainly make chips used in cellphones and other electronic devices such as PDAs. Other companies putting money in into fabs include Taiwanese company TSMC. Why does India not have a fab? Why is the govt so keen on one? One of the biggest hurdles in putting up a fab is the large initial investments needed. Further, electronics manufacturing requires the physical movement of hard goods and India’s roads are not well suited for this movement. Also, India does not have the kind of local component supply base that exists in, say, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, which have emerged as world leaders in semiconductor manufacturing.


What kind of fab is coming up now? The fab planned by a consortium represented by SemIndia will make chips using technology licensed from Advanced Micro Devices(AMD). Who all are investing in this fab and what are the details of its schedule? The fab is being set up with an investment of $3bn. AMD chief Hector Ruiz has signed an MoU with the Indian Government and SemIndia, a consortium of NRIs, for setting up the fab. AMD may pick up equity in the project in payment for its licensed technologies, although the investment details, equity holdings, the exact location of the wafer fab and its timetable are yet to be worked out. How will this fab help the manufacturing industry in electronics industry in India? A fab requires a fair amount of investment in infrastructure — roads, water supply, customs and airport. A fab is considered as the core of an electronic manufacturing chain and attracts other industries around it. Indian government has been pushing for a fab plant as it would help in building a complete manufacturing supply chain in the country. India has lagged behind China in the electronic manufacturing space and the government thinks a fab will help in pushing this.
