This article simply puts up a difference, so poignantly ignored, between the great and not so great people, as both of them derive smoking a part of their chauvinism, but clearly forget what the upcoming not so great generations derive from their act.
Let’s start with a Few Great Men. Mahatma Gandhi, for example Smoked. Yes he did when he went abroad to practice law but later he stopped realizing his mistake that it was against religion and law. Did Einstein smoke? He smoked cigar and pipe despite his wife Elsa and his doctors forbid him to smoke. Classic, isn’t it?

What about our American leaders?

Yes, Franklin Roosevelt smoked cigarettes, and held them with an ivory holder. Some modern politically correct publishers are digitally removing FDR’s cigerates from pictures of him. Abraham Lincoln liked to smoke marijuana, Abraham Lincoln had 375 acres of marijuana growing in fields told to be corn behind the white house.

Forbid Leaders, Lets talk about the Musicians, now, as there is no doubt or question to be urged pertaining to drugs but still; John Lennon and the other Beatles were turned on to marijuana by Bob Dylan, and you can bet it wasn’t for religious reasons, it was fun. Now, what about the greatest dictator ever born: Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) was a smoker from 1897 – 1924, and had typical smoker symptoms. Little Adolf was caught smoking when he was eight. So he was expelled, “dismissed . . . because he was caught smoking in the gardens.” Source: Dr. Walter C. Langer, The Mind of Adolf Hitler.

Quit past, what about the present?

ABC News’ Sunlen Miller Reports: Senator Barack Obama told reporters in St. Louis today that he has fallen off the wagon and smoked cigarettes in the last few months.
Once a heavy smoker, he publicly gave up the habit, per his wife’s request, to run for president. Since quitting, Obama has indicated in the past that he has “fallen off the wagon” but before today was not specific about how recent his smoking was. “Months,” Obama said of the last time he has smoked. Obama regularly chews Nicorette while not at campaign events, and the recent release of a doctor’s note from his primary care physician indicated that it has brought him a level of success.

“His own history included intermittent cigarette smoking,” David L. Scheiner, M.D. wrote in a letter released to reporters. “He has quit this practice on several occasions and is currently using Nicorette gum with success.”
Now, the last question, should they smoke? The doctors would say “no”, a teenager would say “right on”, a person of my age would look above and ponder with several repetitive blinks, lighting up a smoke. Thanks for reading this article, and do tell us if you smoke or not!

Note:If you are not an India and want to know about the heritage of India then this incredible India video may disseminate some scenic feel in your mind.

Terrorists scoped out iconic hospitality landmarks like the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel and the Oberoi Trident in the country’s financial capital unlike previous attacks – sparking fears that the tourism and hospitality sectors will have to grapple with the crippling blow over a long period. The already distressed tourism industry has forecasted a further drop of 10%-15% for inbound tourism due to the assaults and has previously suffered a 20% drop in business due the global meltdown. The terror attack has struck India’s tourist industry at the start of the peak season and Hotels and tour operators have expected a rash of cancellations in the coming days. As the gory pictures of the incidents in Mumbai grab the attention of the world through the media, tour operators have feared a flood of cancellations.

Mumbai is the business hub of the country and one of the favourite tourism attractions for tourists all over the world. It received 10,37,157 foreign tourists in 2006, according to tourism ministry data, second only to Delhi. US and UK citizens have specifically been targeted by the brutal terrorists and this will surely tarnish India’s image as a safe and popular tourist destination. Both the countries together send the maximum number of tourists to India. The terrorists also aimed at Israeli tourists worsening the condition for the tourism industry.

Ministry of Tourism and the Tour Operators along with the hotels have assured travelers that India is a safe destination. India is a large nation and an incident in one place does not impact tourism and day – today life in the rest of the country. There is normal buoyancy in tourism and business in the rest of the country. Well, it is not so and as said above; the tourism industry is bound to suffer badly.

Mumbai has always been brave and resilient in moments of crisis and this time as well, it will rise above the smoke of death and grief and life will be normal. Let’s hope the same for the tourism industry which will have to give its best in order to improve its miserable condition.

Jehad

Ever heard of Jehad-e-Akbar? It means a fight against one’s own self and within the society in order to fight evil, injustice, inequity, illiteracy and ignorance. These words have been tumbled down and presented in such a lop-sided manner of Islam. Jehad against a community or a country can only be declared when the religion’s sanctity is spited; if Muslims are not allowed to go to Mosques, follow their rights, or made to attend madrasas: such can be a situation. There in nothing of that kind in India and the term is used to defame and discredit Islam. Terrorists after losing their moral compass cite Palestine, Chechenya, Iraq and Afghanistan to justify killing of anyone. If oppugn their views, it can be an invitation to elimination. Sura Al-Baqr (verse: 114) in Quran states that Allah hates those who indulge in arson, loot and killings. Sura Al-Kafirun (Chapter: 30) mentions: Lakum dinokum Waley Yadeen (you follow your religion; let them follow theirs). Islam’s very meaning is Submission. In teachings of the Prophet, the whole humanity is known as Rematullil Aalamin (mercy to the whole mankind). The Jehadis pick verses from the Quran, which are contextual and by twisting and bending them, they feel ‘righteous’ to act ‘righteously’. To follow the praxis of confiscating any Muslim into laws has been aboriginal for Indian Police since ages. Muslim voices of sanity aren’t loudly heard either. Exactly in these lines of jehadis, is the mentality of the US that didn’t go seeking Israel for occupying Palestine land, but it did attack Iraq for aggression on Kuwait.

Factual Report On Mumbai Attack

Source:CNN IBN

Totally apart from the scene of jehad social networking and micro blogging is emerge together as a source of truthful facts where the people from all over the world discussed about the conceptuality of Jehad and raise a hardcore voice against it.In my personal opinion social micro-blogging tools like Twitter is main source of news to let me update in this recent Mumbai Attack moreover their is a great source of information in the post “Real Time Citizen Journalism in Mumbai Terrorist Attacks” by Gaurav(gauravonomics).

Conclusion: Is Jehad the next name of Terrorism or it is only Terrorism and not jehad

The term recession entails widespread decline in the GDP and employment and trade lasting from six months to a year. And as the cliche goes, whenever the US sneezes, the world catches a cold. This is evident from the way the Indian markets crashed taking a cue from a probable recession in the US and a global economic slowdown.

US recession to India

“Growth opportunities exist…but there’s a need to develop asset management expertise to help evolve industry’s focus to profitability.”

-Sean Williams, Interim Head, Morgan Stanley Realty India

Due to the downfall of Major banks in the US (after the Subprime market collapse), the hands that provided monetary funding were compelled to evoke monetary funds for themselves. And as far as India’s GDP is concerned, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley have lowered India’s growth projection to 6.8-6.7% from 7-7.2%for 2008-09 due to slowdown in consumption and investment. Being wound up with the widespread, the annual inflation in India struck 6.68 percent in mid-March, the highest since a two-year peak of 6. 69 percent in January last year, mainly due to a jump in world prices of food, oil and metals.”This has increased the risk that policymakers will initiate fresh measures which will further compress the growth trend,” Chetan Ahya and Tanvee Gupta, economists at the US investment bank.

Job cuts ?

• Dunlop India Ltd. on monday tells 1171 staff to stay at home, offering monthly allowances.
• Citigroup the fourth biggest US bank by market value, plans to eliminate 50,000 jobs, or about 14% of the workforce.
• Banks and Brokerages worldwide have shed almost 1,60,000 jobs since the subprime mortgage market collapsed last year.
• As India’s tech firms prepare to protect their operating margins admist a worsening economy, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is expected to bring down their wage cost by not providing any salary hike to their employees next year.

“Really good ones are being laid off during times of recession”, says Robert Miller, co- founder of Miller Heiman. May it be IT jobs, Airlines, inflation to a middleman, the trail has followed even the newly joined work force. The average numbers of offers (per student) at IIM –B was 2.6, down from 4 in 2007 and FMS saw a dip with 1.3 offers this year unlike 1.62 offers per student last year.

Making headlines

• Due to the economic slowdown, passenger load factor on airlines has come down on an average by 15 % . This may result in losses of rs. 10,000 crore to the industry.
• The recession has become a nightmare for small and medium enterprises (SME’s) and logistics service providers (LSP’s) and has made it extremely difficult for them to make progress due to the increasing credit crunch.
• The small firms are bearing the brunt of the global financial meltdown and have limited options, the big ones too have not been spared.
• An official of Indian oil corporation (IOC), which is expected to receive 60% of the total outstanding amount, said the amount paid by Kingfisher and Nacil was lowered by 7 crore and 8 crore.

The dilemma with its certainty has made it implausible for the Indian financial state to flourish, but the helping hands have still not backed out yet; The global economic slump and downtown in the real estate hasn’t deterred Morgan Stanley Real estate from going ahead with its India plan. It’s planning to invest $ 1 billion over the next five years. The India economy is likely to lose between 1 to 2 percentage points in GDP growth in the next fiscal year and Indian companies with big tickets deals in the US would see their profit margins shrink whereas TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Satyam, HCL & Cognizant with cash reserves of more than 500$ mn are in a good position to tide over slowdown & explore on M&A’s. What has hit the corporates is the rupee which has weakened against the dollar drastically over the past few months. The worries for exporters will grow when Rupee strengthens further against the dollar. Though experts note that the long-term prospects for India are stable, a weak dollar could bring more foreign money to Indian markets. Oil may get cheaper bringing down inflation. As lately presumed, the world can go on peacefully even if America is suffering from last stage cancer.

My site’s ranking has changed. Was it wrong before?

Your ranking wasn’t wrong before, but it was different. Alexa toolbar users’ interests and surfing habits could differ from those of the general population in a number of ways, and we described some of those possible differences on our website. While the vast majority of sites’ rankings were unaffected by such differences, we’ve worked hard on our new ranking system to adjust for situations in which they could matter.

The new rankings should better reflect the interests and surfing habits of the broader population of Web users.

Why are the long range graphs gone? I can only get 9 months of historical data.

Will you change the rankings again?

We are constantly working to ensure that we provide the most useful data that we can. We will continue to fine tune our algorithms but don’t foresee any additional big changes. If you think something is amiss please let us know.

We liked the old rankings as well. However, we developed the new system in response to the huge number of requests we got from users like you, and now that it’s done we like it even better. We hope you will too.
