The Indian flag is all set to mark its presence on the lunar surface for the first time on Friday as a moon probe with the tri-colour painted on it will detach from Chandrayaan-1 and descend onto the earth's natural satellite.

The 375 mm x 375 mm x 470 mm MIP is a honeycomb structure housing the subsystems and three instruments - radar altimeter, video imaging system and mass spectrometer. It weighs 35 kg.

"The Moon Impact Probe is expected to be detached (from Chandrayaan-1) at around 10 PM tomorrow," Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) spokesperson S Satish told PTI.Miniature Indian flags are painted on four sides of MIP.

"It will signify the entry of India on Moon," Satish said."During its 20-minute descent to the moon's surface, MIP will take pictures and transmit these back to the ground," he said.

MIP is one of the 11 scientific instruments (payloads) onboard Chandrayaan-1, India's first unmanned spacecraft mission to Moon launched on October 22.

The spacecraft yesterday reached its final orbital home, about 100 kms over the moon surface after ISRO scientists successfully carried out the last critical orbit lowering operation.

Developed by ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre of Thiruvananthapuram, the primary objective of MIP is to demonstrate the technologies required for landing a probe at the desired location on the moon.

The probe will help qualify some of the technologies related to future soft landing missions. This apart, scientific exploration of the moon at close distance is also intended using MIP.

Forbes, an American publishing and media company said in its annual rich list that Reliance Industries Mukesh Ambani has overtaken NRI steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal as the Richest Indian in the world.

Mittal, who has moved to second position with a net worth of USD 20.5 billion (rpt) USD 20.5 billion, is followed by Mukesh's younger brother Anil Ambani, whose wealth stood at USD 12.5 billion.Telecom czar Sunil Mittal and realtor K P Singh are ranked fourth and fifth with net worth of USD 7.9 billion and USD 7.8 billion, respectively.

The magazine said that the combined net worth of India's 40 richest has declined by 60% due to weak stock markets and depreciating rupee against the greenback.

"These are painful times for India's tycoons. The country's once soaring stock market fell 48 per cent the past year, the rupee depreciated 24 per cent against the dollar, and GDP growth is expected to slow by at least a percentage point, in part owing to double-digit inflation," Forbes Asia said in a statement.

While all 40 tycoons listed last year were billionaires, only 27 have 10-figure net worths now. A net worth of 760 million dollar was needed to make to the list this year, 840 million dollar less than last year.

The list says the major loser was property tycoon Ramesh Chandra, whose net worth dropped by 91 per cent to USD 1 billion.

The magnificient sunrise, the dark forests, the deep blue lakes, the twinkling stars,birds,bees.... What man is he who has not stopped awhile to savour these? But just for one fleeting moment have we ever paused to thank god for the gift of eyes that made it possible for us to relish his creation? And have we spared a thought for those not so fortunate as we?

Do you know india has 15 million blind of which 34.7% have corneal blindness. Most of these can have their eyesight restored through simple surgery- corneal transplantation. Due to lack of donors, thousand in india have to wait for years in desperation.

All religions commend the spirit of eye donation as a noble way of serving god and humanity. And isn't it a wonderful thought that the loved ones live after death in someone else's body, giving that person the most wonderful gift of sight?

So friends do be a part of noble cause.It costs nothing but means everything to those bereft of the wonderful gift of sight.

Eventhough you dream everynight, you tend to forget your dream when you get up in the morning. When we are in childhood we keep in touch with the subconscious thoughts and desires but when we grow up this ability diappears. Inorder to remember your dreams you should strongly believe that dream interpretation is valuable.

There is a small exercise to follow inorder to remember your dreams. Have a piece of paper and a pen near your bed. Whenever you wakeup write down as much of your dream as you can remember. After two or three weeks of this practice you will see that you can remember your dreams with great frequency.

Babies' eyes do not produce tears until the baby is approximately six to eight weeks old.

Although babies are often born expressing their opinion of such a hasty entrance into the world, all you're really going to see is waving limbs and a red face. Because while they can howl their little lungs out, they can't yet "cry".
That's not to say that an infant's eyes are in danger of drying out. They do produce enough moisture to keep the eyes coated. But not enough to cause a waterfall when they wail.

It takes anywhere from three to six weeks for a baby's tear ducts to develop to the point where crying will produce any significant amount of moisture, so the eyes overflow.
A tiny opening from the tear duct into the top of the nasal canal, allows tears to run down inside and disperse. Sometimes this opening has not developed enough by the time the tear ducts start producing excess moisture, and they can become clogged.
Tear ducts that are plugged, often show as discharge gathering in the corner of the eye. This can be resolved with gentle and frequent massage of the tear duct area.

Whiskers twitching, the mouse stares into the jaws of death - and then pounces on them. The little fellow had no intention of being lunch for the deadly viper whose cage he had been thrown into. During a vicious 30-minute struggle the mouse tore at the serpent's head with its tiny paws and jaws, finally killing it.

Face-off: The snake and mouse stare each other down as battle commences

The mouse served up as lunch makes a counter-attack on the viper, leading to a 30-minute fight to the deathThe outcome amazed firemen in Nantou, Taiwan, who had rescued the footlong snake from a local home and taken it to their fire station as a pet. Fireman Lan Sengqiu said the snake might have used up all its venom trying to bite them when they caught it, adding: 'The mouse barely had a scratch on him.' Vipers have a pair of long hollow fangs, that are used to inject venom from glands at the back of the jaw. During a strike the mouth can open to nearly 180 degrees, and jaws snap shut on impact. Death is usually caused by a collapse in blood pressure from the venom. But snakes do have enemies. They can fall prey to large birds, wild boars, mongooses, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, other snakes. . . and apparently mice.

Breakfast means break the fast.It is your first meal of the day which should not be missed for any circumstances.

Think about it..As you have to go to the school/office you skip your breakfast and hurry up. By lunch your stomach is virtually growling. This is the time you just cannot resist a quick fix snack, an unhealthy choice that adds to unwanted calories in your daily intake.

Breakfast is very important to refuel your body after a night's sleep. While you are sleeping, the body needs to fuel to keep your heart beating, nerves transmitting and cells dividing. Much of the fuel comes from the readily available stores of glucose in the blood, liver and muscles. By sunrise, the body is essentially in a fasting mood. That first meal of the day literally breaks the fast. That's why breakfast is so important. If you skip breakfast, blood sugar levels drop and fatigue, poor concentration,irritability and lethargy are the results.

Skipping breakfast makes it harder for the bodyto lose weight. Your body's metabolism slows own during the night. When you forego breakfast, you lower your metabolic rate further. This also lowers your blood sugar level and makes you feel lethargic. You yourself then set the stage for impulsive snacking or eting king-sized portions for lunch or dinner.

These are the top 4 of the most Unusual plants & flowers, enjoy!

1. Rafflesia arnoldii: this parasitic plant develops the world's largest bloom that can grow over three feet across. The flower is a fleshy color, with spots that make it look like a teenager's acne-ridden skin. It smells bad and has a hole in the center that holds six or seven quarts of water. The plant has no leaves, stems, or roots.

2. Hydnora africana, an unusual flesh-colored, parasitic flower that attacks the nearby roots of shrubby in arid deserts of South Africa. The putrid-smelling blossom attracts herds of carrion beetles.

3. Dracunculus vulgaris: smells like rotting flesh, and has a burgundy-colored, leaf-like flower that projects a slender, black appendage.
4. Amorphophallus: means, literally, "shapeless penis." The name comes from the shape of the erect black spadix.

'Education is not just about studying, its about becoming globally aware citizen'

This way, In order to become a globally aware citizen, we have to achieve so much. For this we will have to cros so many hurdles. It would be really great when a person with Engineering degree holds an MBA. He would be able to develop Management skills along with the technical business.

Over-optimism, lack of professionalism in basic matters and failure to create an upward path for oneself, were some of the reasons for failure of managers. They should have good interpersonal skills for cross-cultural success.

Michael turns 50 today, August 29. Here's wishing the Moonwalker the very, very best

As The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame puts it, Michael Jackson 'has enjoyed a level of superstardom previously known only to Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Frank Sinatra.'

Stardom kicked in as early as 11.

The Jackson 5 was an enormously successful family act but even that Motown routine was just a grooming ground for much greater things. Jackson was the frontman for the 5, and by thirteen he was already churning out solo singles.

At age 14, his Ben -- for a film about a rat -- became Michael Jackson's first #1 single.

It was just the beginning.

In 1979, he released Off The Wall

In August 1979, a few weeks before Michael turned 21, he released his Off The Wall. With songwriters including Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder, the album ricocheted up the charts. The first album to generate as many as four US Top 10 hits, the album spent over eights months in the Top Ten and eventually went on to sell 15 million copies.

Not bad for his first adult outing, one would think. But Jackson wasn't content, despite the Best Male R&B Vocal Performance Grammy he won for the album's Don't stop 'til you get enough.

All he said was that the next album would be bigger.

Thriller conquered the world .

Jackson was 24 when he released the biggest-selling music album of all time, Wikipedia ranking it as the only album selling over 100 million copies, conservatively pegging the figure at 108 million, even though some estimate it to be more in the region of 134 million. (Just for contrast, the second highest-selling album is AC/DC's Back in Black, selling the comparatively paltry figure of 42 million.)

Jackson's voice soars all over the melody, Eddie Van Halen checks in with a blistering guitar solo, you could build a convention center on the backbeat, and the result is one nifty dance song,' Rolling Stone wrote in their 1983 review of Thriller to describe a song.

A song called Beat It. A song that changed music forever.

Michael hit gold and never looked back.

A ridiculously lightfooted dancer talented enough to be called revolutionary, Jackson followed up Thriller with hit albums like Bad and Dangerous, and became the world's greatest stage performer.

In 1993, his performance at the halftime intermission of Superbowl XXVII drew the largest viewing audience in American television history -- the footballers clearly appreciated the help. He can still rock a stage -- and a microphone -- like nobody else ever quite could.

And then things crashed.

That very same year, a child-abuse suit is filed against him. The plastic surgery machine goes into overdrive. The album sales decline. Michael is acquited. The new albums can't generate enough buzz. His nose falls off. Somewhere in the middle he dangles a baby from a window. Chimpanzees, divorces and a string of crazy rumours and television tell-all documentaries further sensationalise all things Jacko.

Today, in every way, Michael Jackson is a pale imitation of his former megastar self.

That doesn't mean that if he decides to perform at Madison Square Garden tomorrow, you wouldn't want to be there. He can still rock a stage -- and a microphone -- like nobody else ever quite could.

Happy 50th Birthday, Michael. May you come back to us in all your glory. Believe in yourself. Just... Remember The Time?

Never put Bananas in the refrigerator!!!

This is very interesting. After you read this you will never look at the banana same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives instant energy. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit of the world's leading athletes. It also overcomes or prevents a susbstantial number of illness and conditions, making it a must to add it to our daily diet.

Nerves: Bananas are high in vitamin B that help calm the nervous system.
HeartBurn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Constipation: High in fiber, using bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without restoring to laxatives.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Smoking & Tobacco use: Bananas can also help people who are trying to give up smoking. The B6 and B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recovetr from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely rich in potassium and less in salt which makes it perfect to beat blood pressure.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

So banana is a remedy for many ills...When compared to apple it has five times the vitamin A and iron, four times the proteins, three times the phosphorus, twice the carbohydrate and is one of the best foods around so now its time to change the phrase as " A Banana a day keeps the doctor away"

There are different types of electronic infections which affects the computer or the software's installed in the computer.The most common infections are:

Viruses:

A virus is a small piece of software that piggybacks from a real program. For example a virus might attach itself to a program such as spreadsheet program. Each time the spreadsheet program runs, the virus runs to reproduce or wreak havoc.

E-Mail Viruses:

An email virus moves around in email messages and usually replicates itself by automatically mailing itself to dozens of people in the victims email address book.

Worms:

A worm is a small piece of software that uses computer networks and security holes to replicate itself. A copy of worm scans the network for another machine that has a specific security hole. It copies the security hole, and then starts replicating from there as well.

Trojan Horses:

A Trojan horse is simply a computer program. The program claims to do one thing but instead does damage when you run it. Trojan horses have no way to replicate itself.

People create viruses. A person has to write the code, test it to make sure it spreads properly and then release the virus. A person also design the viruses attack phase, whether it's a silly message or destruction of hard disk. So why do people do it???

There are at least three reasons :

• The first is the same psychology that drives vandals and arsonists. Why would someone want to bust the window or spray signs on buildings or burn down a beautiful format? For some people that seems to be a thrill. When that sort of a person happens to know computer programming then he/she may funnel energy in to the creation of destructive viruses.

• The second reason has to do with the thrill of watching blow up. Many people have a fascination with things like explosion. Creating a virus that spreads quickly is a little like that it create a a bomb inside a computer.

• The third reason probably involves bragging rights or the thrill of doing it. Imagine that you are a certain type of programmer and you see a security hole that could be exploited. You could "Tell" someone about the hole. But couldn't it be better to "Show" them the hole?.That sort of logic leads to many viruses.

Destroying everything on a person's hard disk is a real damage. Forcing company to waste thousands of hours in cleaning up after a virus is real damage.Even a silly message is real damage because a person then has to waste time getting rid of it. For this reason the legal system is getting much harsher in punishing the people who create viruses
