‘Not only men, we all are from Mars’

  Life on Earth was kick-started thanks to a key mineral deposited by a meteorite from Mars, according to a novel theory aired on Thursday. The vital ingredient was an oxidized mineral form of the element molybdenum, which helped prevent carbon molecules — the building blocks of life — from degrading into a tar-like goo. The idea comes from Steven Benner, a professor at the Westheimer Institute for Science and Technology in Gainesville, Florida, who was to present it at an international conference of geochemists in Florence, Italy. "It's only when molybdenum becomes highly oxidized that it is able to influence how early life formed," Benner said in a press release. "This form of molybdenum couldn't have been available on Earth at the time life first began, because three billion years ago the surface of the Earth had very little oxygen, but Mars did." In this violent epoch of the solar system, the infant Earth was pounded by comets and aster...

Is this the WAY ?? Shame

  The suspension of Durga Shakti Nagpal may have been over an illegally mined and traded commodity but there are other civil servants like her with sadder - and far more bizarre stories to tell. Lakshminarayana was among the toppers in Civil Services. Keen to work for the CBI, he opted to be deputed to the agency as DIG in Hyderabad on June 12, 2006.Nobody knows much about Lakhsminarayana till he t ook up the investigation against YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.The only time when his name came into focus was during the investigation into the multi-crore accounting fraud by Satyam Ramalinga Raju. And just because he has taken up the Jagan case now, people have started casting aspersions against Lakshminarayana. IAS officer Ashok Khemka Who raised voice against wrong doing of Robert Vadra and DLF received 'threat calls'.Dr Khemka, who has had 40 transfers in his 20-year-career, says," If these problems are brought in sunshine, prob...

Patna 'sabziwala' is an IIM-A topper

PATNA

Wo Patna ki shaam, wo Ashok Rajpath ka jaam. Wo kutto ki barking, and no place for parking. Wo Shiv ji ka snake, wo birthday counter ka cake. Wo school me mastii, Wo gupshup sasti. Wo Tandan ke samose, wo Dosa Plaza ke dose. Wo city ka crowd, wo hasino ka "feel proud". Wo boring road ki sadke, jahan kitno ke dil dhadke. Wo coaching se nikalti scooty, wo samose aur frooty. Wo P&M mall ka kamaal, wo Gai Ghat me dhamaal. Wo school ke yaar, wo Papa ki maar Aise hain hamare Patna ki kuch yaadein .

Mathematics Best JOKE EVER :)

One professor of mathematics noticed that his kitchen sink at his home broke down. He called a plumber. The plumber came on the next day, sealed a few screws and everything was working as before. The professor was delighted. However, when the plumber gave him the bill a minute later, he was shocked. "This is one third of my monthly salary!" he yelled. Well, all the same he paid it and then the plumber said to him: "I understand your position as a professor. Why don't you come to our company and apply for a plumber position? You will earn three times as much as a professor. But remember, when you apply, tell them that you completed only seven elementary classes. They don't like educated people." So it happened. The professor got a plumber job and his life significantly improved. He just had to seal a screw or two occasionally, and his salary went up significantly. One day, the board of the plumbing company decided that every plumber has to go to evening clas...

The truth behind & the repercussions of the division of Andhra Pradesh

Oh god, this will be a super-long answer. Also, people from different regions of AP have different views on this. Here is mine: Short version : I hold an opinion that happens to be very different from most people. The bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh is a very good thing for the people of Andhra and Rayalaseema but could be a bad thing for Telangana. I do not know how much you already know about the history of AP, but I will try to give you some background before we jump into the main part of the answer. History : The map below shows the provinces in south India post independence. The blue part was actually a part of the Madras Presidency during the British rule and the yellow parts which seem to be split by red and blue lines together constituted the Nizam state. Nizam's kingdom was divided into 3 parts as shown and the Telugu speaking part was merged with the Telugu speaking part of the Madras Presidency to form the present day state of Andhra Pradesh. This wa...

International customs for Apology

Japan Tokyo: A man accidentally tore a girl’s short miniskirt in Tokyo. Before he had a chance to apologize, the girl did a 90 degree bow, and said: “I am sorry to give you trouble! The quality of my skirt is not good.” Then she took out a pin, put the skirt back together and left. New York, Time Square: A man accidentally tore a girl’s miniskirt. Before he had a chance to react, the woman pulled out a business card and gave it to him saying : “This is my lawyer’s card. He will contact you about this sexual harassment. Better you prepare yourself, then we will see you in court.” Paris, France: A French man accidentally tore a girls’ miniskirt. Before he opened his mouth, the young girl said with a smile: “If you do not mind, a red rose can represent your apology.” The French man bought her a rose, then they went to a bar, and lastly went to a hotel discussing what was in the miniskirt . Thames, England: In the Church Square by Thames, an English man accide...

Disclaimer: All characters in the story are not at all imaginary. Any resemblance to person living or dying of work is purely intentional..!!

One night when the whole world was sleeping, a thief broke into the house, the washer man was fast asleep but the donkey and the dog were awake. The dog decided not to bark since the master did not take good care of him and wanted to teach him a lesson. The donkey got worried and said to the dog that if he doesn't bark, the donkey will have to do something himself. The dog did not change his mind and the donkey started braying loudly. Hearing the donkey bray, the thief ran away, the master woke up and started beating the donkey for braying in the middle of the night for no reason. Moral of the story: One must not engage in duties other than his own. Now take a new look at the same story. The washer man was like a typical top management corporate guy. He had the fundas of looking at the bigger picture and thinking out of the box. He was convinced that there must be some reason for the donkey to bray in the night. He walked outside a little and di d some fact find...

Most doctors in urban India are not MBBS: Study

MUMBAI: In a shocking representation of the lack of essential healthcare, the largest chunk of doctors in the country do not hold the MBBS degree (bachelor of medicine, bachelor of surgery) — a basic prerequisite to practice modern medicine (allopathy). Instead, they have degrees of alternative medicine like ayurveda or homeopathy , but they may still be prescribing a significant portion of allopathic medicines. Data culled from the physician census by market research firm, IMS Health says that the non-MBBS general physicians (GPs) charge the lowest — possibly because of their low qualification, experts point out, while the super-specialists like the oncologists and neurologists occupy the top rung, in terms of consulting fees. The physician census, covering 120 cities (metro and non-metro) across the country with nearly four lakh doctors, confirms the huge dearth of quality healthcare professionals, and worse, this situation is not illustrative of rural ar...
