Verify Your Medicine........

VERY USEFUL. PASS IT TO YOUR FRIENDS. In India if anytime you are worried if the medicine is not just fake or counterfeit, You can send a 10 digit code as SMS to 9901099010 and you will get a reply back if the drug was authentic. Whenever a unit of medicine is produced at the factory, it is labeled with a unique code. When you purchase a medicine you can send this code which is at back of the unit to 9901099010 You will receive an SMS which tells if you the medicine is genuine and provides you will batch number, expiration, and other information.

Has anyone done a cost analyses of rising prices of petroleum products in India – that is Bharat?

From:  Arun D Khaitan  to consumer VOICE Friends, Has anyone done a cost analyses of rising prices of petroleum products in India - that is Bharat? I sometimes feel that today's price that is between Rs 75-80 per litre includes cost of crude + taxes ++++ incompetence and mismanagement of the oil companies, both public (Indianoil, Hindusthan, Bharat, ONGC, etc.) and private (Reliance, Essar, etc.). It also includes (maybe) the corruption factor? 2. Falling rupee: falling value of the rupee vis-a-vis the dollar: Is the government deliberatedly allowing this slide, to devalue the rupee without actually saying so? Any comments? Please post them here. ARUN D KHAITAN  B Tech khaitanarun@gmail.com  /  khaitan_arun@yahoo.com

Anatomy tattoos

Image
Anatomical tattoos (or anatomy tattoos) are a relatively new trend in the tattoo fashion. They are 3d tattoos based on optical illusions, quite similar to the biomechanical tattoos. The most important difference between the two categories is the main theme of the design: various parts of the human anatomy versus mechanical and robotic components mixed with allien-like tissues that are enhanced by natural systems in the human body in the case of biomechanical tattoos. The tattoo artist must have must have advanced knowledge of anatomy, because these tattoos mimic the contours of muscles and bones, following the human musculoskeletal system. The point of these tattoos is to appear natural or even possible, to be believable and realistic (they don't need to be actually plausible, but must appear so). Because of this, placement is an essential component of these tattoos. The tattoo must be placed over the correct joints and muscles in order to look as believable as possible. Furthermor

He has hemorrhoids... and he is proud with that

Image
I know, it's not a tattoo, but it's funny. I assume that the poor kid has absolutely no idea about the meaning of the ideogram imprinted on his sweater. What doesn't know the lucky owner of the sweater is that the ideogram means "piles, hemorrhoids" (both in chinese and in japanese). Fortunately for him it's easier to get rid of a sweater than it is to get rid of a tattoo. Now, I would like to give you an advice: if you want to decorate your skin (or your clothes) with ideograms (Kanji or Hanzi) you should avoid the ideograms which contain the radical depicted in the image below: This radical means "sickness" and the kanji / hanzi composed with this radical are usually associated with diseases, sickness, illness, etc (e.g.: 疔 = ulcer, 疝 = colic, 疥 = scabby eruption, 疣 = wart, 癢 = itchy) - in short, not the kind of words that one would normally choose for a tattoo. There are several ideograms composed with this radical which are not related to illn

Failed tatoos: Kanji mistakes - the seven virtues of the samurai

Image
Well, this is happens when you get a kanji (or hanzi) tattoo without consulting someone who is knowledgeable and trustworthy. This is one of the worst kanji tattoos I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot of silly tattoos). First, let's take a look at the image below: the seven virtues of the samurai, written in kanji. I've choose a common type of fonts - MS Gothic. Now let's take a look at this photo: It's obvious that the tattoo is a completely lame. Let's take a closer look at the ideograms tattooed on this dude's body: The first kanji, tattooed on the neck: two strokes are missing (the strokes from the top) and the ideogram has been splitted into two parts: 王 (king, monarch) and 我 (I, me). In the image below is a standard depiction of this kanji: The second and the third kanji seem to be well written. The 4th kanji is missing a stroke. In the image below is a standard depiction of this kanji: The 5th kanji is a total mess: a stroke is missi

Read what Praveen Sood (Additional Commissioner for Traffic, Mumbai) has to say...

Dear All,   Information you should have: If you are getting caught quite often by traffic police, then please read on.  From now onwards, the Traffic Police cannot catch a motorist just to examine the driving license or vehicle documents.  They can catch you only if you have violated any traffic laws or if you are driving drunk. Remember that when caught for traffic violation, the fine you pay must be limited to the violation. In other words, the police can’t bloat the bill saying that you have no insurance cover or emission certificate, etc.  Many motorists do not know this. According to the law, no policeman can slap a penalty on you just because you have no insurance or emission certificate.  If you have not purchased insurance cover for your vehicle, then the police officer must issue a notice, not impose penalty.  You must be given 15 days’ time to purchase insurance cover and one week for obtaining the emission certificate.  Days later, meet the sub-inspector at his station with

3D tattoos: dark-art biomechanical tattoos

Image
When it comes to a biomechanical tattoo, the cyborg tattoos and the alien-infestations tattoos are by far the most popular choices. However, it is not necessarily the case that a biomechanical tattoo contains only robotic / cyborg components and alien-like tissues and bones. In fact, there are many other themes and elements which can be integrated in a biomechanical tattoo design: reptiles, spiders, monsters, demons, etc. Not as widespread as the cyborg tattoos or alien-infestation tattoos, the biomechanical tattoos depicting a monster inside the body of the the tattoo's wearer is still a quite widespread choice. Without claiming to be exhaustive, this list contains the main themes of the biomech-monsters tattoos: - zombie infestation (zombie bites, zombie transformation, zombies eating the body from inside etc) - the human body depicted as the monster's hiding place - fetuses (zombie fetuses, mosnter fetuses) - torn skin revealing a hidden monster (usually only the teeths, t

Tribal heart tattoo

Image
Hi! In this post I'll present you two of my favorites tattoos: Tribal heart tattoo 1. Ideogram meaning: 失恋 disappointed love / broken heart / unrequited love. Japanese: kanji: 失恋; hiragana: しつれん; reading: shitsuren. Simplified chinese: Hànzì: 失恋; pinyin: shī​liàn Tribal heart tattoo 2. Ideogram meaning: 失恋 disappointed love / broken heart / unrequited love. Japanese: kanji: 失恋; hiragana: しつれん; reading: shitsuren. Simplified chinese: Hànzì: 失恋; pinyin: shī​liàn Usually when I draw a tattoo I try to integrate one or more ideograms (either japanese Kanji or chinese Hanzi) in various tribal or floral patterns. In this case, I've used some tribal-style hearts and the word 失恋 (disappointed love / unrequited love / to lose one's love / being lovelorn). This word (失恋) has the same meaning both in chinese and in japanese (of course, the pronunciations are different: the japanese pronunciation is shitsuren and the chinese pronunciation is shīliàn - first tone and the fourth ton

Debunking the Milk Myth: Why Milk is Bad for You and Your Bones

Just read through this  and as a vegetarian Indian found it questionable, to say the least  and instinctively wanted to debunk it.  We want your reactions/comments :  In  brief the article says :    "History is replete with unfounded health beliefs, and to everyone’s detriment, the milk myth is among the most tenacious. Milk is much more than just a drink; it’s a cultural phenomenon that can be traced back thousands of years ago. And still today, the milk myth resonates loud and clear: in 2001, the average American child consumed 104 quarts of cow’s milk. Milk depletes the calcium from your bones The milk myth has spread around the world based on the flawed belief that this protein and calcium-rich drink is essential to support good overall health and bone health in particular at any age. It is easy to understand that the confusion about milk’s imaginary benefits stems from the fact that it contains calcium – around 300 mg per cup. But many scientific studies have shown an assortm
