The colours used on these idols are the main ingredient responsible for polluting the water. The level of lead, mercury, cadmium used in these colours is very high. Why are we not encouraging the use of natural colours for these idols? Why the artisans are not using organic vegetable colours?

The ornaments worn over these idols are also made of metals and polluting the water. The flowers, ornaments, cloths and other offerings to these idols should be removed before immersion. The synthetic colours and the fabrics also pollute the water. It’s really difficult to clear the water from these toxic chemicals and heavy metals.

The artisans are so used with the chemical colours that they hardly want to switch. They are also now perfect about the appropriate quantity of the colour to be used. They get variant of colour in different shades also. Using of eco friendly colours might not give them different choices and will be less attractive also.

The government should take measures for the use to eco friendly colours and use of bio degradable material. In fact recycling process should be adapted. Why cannot the idols be recycled? Flowers can also be recycled for making paper. The coconut and other food items that are also immersed along with the idols should be distributed among the poor. The ornaments could be also made of recycle materials. And on top of all why do we really need to make gigantic idols? Why cannot we go for small idols and worship?

Let’s raise voice against it and create awareness among all.

BlacMail is an Email Service which gives you freedom from the GPRS by providing email solution to any mobile phone without need of Internet, in short it works same as your SMS service.

First thing first,  How does it charge you ? It deduct from your balance available on your phone :

For every mail received or sent you lose a credit (it could be more depending on your mail download size). And you are charged at your usual SMS rates. Read more on their FAQ

So every time you receive an email you are charged one sms price which is generally one rupee however I am sure this does not mean that if your sms is free it will not charge you, because it will first deduct the amount from you and give BlacMail Credit which is deducted.

This is an excellent service for people who either do not have a smart phone or do not want to get GPRS on their mobile handset. Also I would suggest this for people who have limited usage because if you have hundreds of emails to check, you better do it on your computer or get GPRS plan.  Check out BlacMail

The email was sent by PayPal Asia Team and there is no exact reason decalred except that they are try to trying to restore the electronic withdraw service.

After the last issues, PayPal introduced Purpose Code and asked users for their PAN number which was optional though. 

PayPal is one of the most commonly used service in India through which many freelancers, designers and bloggers get money to bank account but it seems Government wasnt very sure how it was coming as PayPal is only a middle man.

How you should get money to bank account ?

First and foremost, ask your client for wire transfer. This is the best option you have as most of tha banks have this facility. Also doing this you will get better exchange rate for dollar.

If you cannot do it ask your clients to send you dollar check. This will be useful as you can claim for Form 16 or Foreign remittance in your Income Tax.

If you don’t want both of the above, PayPal is ready to send you checks.

Initially this number was being used for receiving the complaints from people in cases of serious crimes, sexual harassment at workplace, accidents etc. but now the complaints of ragging can also be sent to this number to seek immediate Police help.

So, if you are in Himachal Pradesh, and you want to file a complaint to Police, simply send a SMS on 9459100100.

A student found guilty of ragging his/her juniors will be punished with imprisonment up to three years or fine of up to Rs 50,000 or both, also will be expelled from the institution and will not be eligible for admission in any other institution for a period of three years.

This seems to be great step, provided that the complaints really get heard, this kind of facility should be introduced in other states too.
