		<description><![CDATA[Karunanidhi ,  popularly known as kalaignar is a fallen man these days. Having performed relatively well in the past 5 years as CM  and still loved by most in Tamil Nadu, hes in the most unenviable position of  having  his daughter in Tihar Jailand an insulting defeat in polls. The fall of Karunanidhi family from heights of 2006  beats all Political Drama&#8217;s Bollywood or Kollywood can ever come across. It has all the essence of a good movie Love , Action, Fights , Murder and Suspense. And by having an extended family of three wives, the senior politician didn&#8217;t do any favors to himself.  With age he became wiser but he also fell prey to his family&#8217;s  pressure. Story starts with Alagiri, known as Anjaa Nenjan (Braveheart) by his followers. He is the  first son of  his second wife Dayalu Ammal.  Alagiri is a rebel in Karunanidhi&#8217;s family and has always been associated with his gang of Rowdy&#8217;s and control of Madurai City. But he had huge popularity among party circles in Madurai, due to his style of getting together with low level party functionaries.   And the downfall of DMK can be attributed to this brave heart from Madurai. He came to the fore [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In India we have corruption everywhere, from PM to the local peon. The powerful first family to the local mortuary security guard, everyone takes a cut. But what differentiates them is the way media treats them. When it comes to Rajiv Gandhi&#8217;s own corruption on Bofors, CBI bends the rules and goes the extra step to please the madam. And most of the National (comprising of Delhi and Mumbai) tries to toe the Government line. Afterall most of the News from likes of NDTV,CNN-IBN,Times of India,India Today,Hindustan Times,Mint  are pretty much planted directly from Horse&#8217;s mouth. And the way they treat news of corruption is also tightly linked with where they are from, who they are and what gains these media organisations achieve by exposing them.  The likes of Sharad Pawar and his family, who garner similar adulation of the first family themselves. Sharad Pawar has been linked with several scams like Lavasa, Link with Dawood Ibrahim , 600 Crore Stamp Paper scam, Several Mumbai-Pune real estate deals and so on. But our national media buries everything surrounding Sharad Pawar one time close aide of India&#8217;s first family. But again different yardstick against so called non National players, if anything [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few weeks the solar activity has been very minimal and based on the observations made over past 100 years, Sun&#8217;s brightness has dimmed down over past few weeks. The scientists watching the events closely as many of them believe this could be sign of next little ice age.The last time the little ice age occurres was between 1300-1850 ensuring heavy cold spells in Europe and North America. The coldest period of the Little Ice Age, between 1645 and 1715, has been linked to a deep dip in solar storms known as the Maunder Minimum. And Scientists believe we could be in one of this period. Source : National Geogrphic society Scientists say the Maunder Minimum can be tracked based on the number of Sun spots visible. Sun Spots (dark spots in Sun) are caused by violent storms and usually they follow a 11 year cycle of High activity and a lull. The last lull was in 2008 and this year Sun should have started showing more activity. But It has become even quieter. But many argue the effects of this cool period wont be felt due to Global warming. Lets wait and watch.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It turns the much awaited 10$ laptop is nothin more than a ebook reader with a low quality screen. The hype surrounding the $10 laptop &#8220;prototype&#8221; with two GB RAM turned out to be a joke when the department of Human Resources Development announced — during its inauguration in the temple town of Tirupati — that it wasn&#8217;t a laptop at all but a computing device. While the world eagerly waited for the launch of the $10 laptop — designed by students of Vellore Institute of Technology, scientists in Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, IIT-Madras, UGC and MHRD — it wasn&#8217;t a patch on the $100 laptop made by MIT. The MHRD officials said the price was working out to be $20 but with mass production it was bound to come down to $10 (Rs 500) and thus become affordable for every student in India. But netizens were disappointed when the &#8220;laptop&#8221; turned out to be nothing more than a computing device along with a hard disk with e-books, e-journals and relevant educative material through the state-art-of-the-art &#8220;Sakshat&#8221; portal. As the device appeared smaller than the normal laptop with 10-inch length and five-inch width, buzz got around that it was [...]]]></description>
