10 Annoying Things American Tourists Shouldn't Do

I was reading one of the hubs and i found this hub and i liked for its style and way of writing and i am copy it here for you to read it and enjoy it.

Author : Isabella Snow

I live in one of the oldest and most architecturally fascinating cities in Europe, which results in loads of tourists. Now, to be sure, every country has their fair share of idiots who travel abroad. But, for some reason, the Americans seem particularly ignorant and obnoxious.
This wouldn’t be so bad, if they were capable of blending into the crowd – but they tend to lack these skills more often than not.
Due to my job, I encounter loads of them every weekend, and I’ve noticed a distinct similarity across the board. It doesn’t matter if they’re from the south, the west or the northeast – they always seem to act the fool in some respect.
It’s gotten so bad that the US government has actually started issuing etiquette pamphlets for Americans traveling abroad, to try to clue them in on their behavior and how it ticks most of the world off. Unfortunately, most Americans seem to have missed the memo.
So please, on behalf of Europe, let me ask the Americans to stop doing the following:

Stop talking about how “cheap” everything is.
For starters, things aren’t as cheap as you think they are, and most of you don’t really have a clue about currency conversion. I hear people debating costs all the time. Bring a calculator, cos most of you cannot do the math in your heads. Secondly, if it is cheap, it may not be cheap to the people who live there, and have to listen to you talk like you're King Midas. It’s rude, so keep your remarks to yourself until your back in your hotel room.

Stop talking so damned loud.
This is one of the most obnoxious things American tourists do. If you’re in a bar where it’s loud and you have be loud to hear yourself, great, go for it. But if you’re in a nice restaurant, or club, or shop, etc – shut up! Believe me, your conversations are not that interesting to the locals. And I mean that sincerely; it’s ridiculous how petty the lot of you sound, which is the real reason Europeans look down on us. Hard not to, when the biggest crisis in someone’s life is running out of hairspray, and ohmigod, like, will I be able to find my brand in this 3rd world country?

Read something about the country you’re visiting before you get on the plane.
Did you know that most Americans think the Czech Republic is still Czechoslovakia? And did you know that most who realize it isn’t, think only the name changed? And that those who realize they separated into two different countries, still don’t realize they are two different peoples – the Czechs and the Slovaks? I’ve met “educated” people walking around while they call home on their cell phones and tell mom they’re having a swell time in Czechoslovakia. Duh.

Do not assume people speak English.
Guess what – in all of Europe, the only place you’re guaranteed to hear English is in the UK. Do not waltz into Germany or France and expect the locals to speak English with you, and don’t give them a dirty look if they can’t. Most of the Europeans I know speak 3 languages, whether English is one of them or not. How many do you speak? Also, I see loads of Americans encounter non-English speakers.. and then start to speak more loudly. Or, they start to speak like they’re addressing someone who is mentally challenged. Slick, people. Really, really slick.

Don’t assume people don’t speak English.
Even if they say they can’t speak English, most people do speak enough to understand whether or not you’re speaking rudely about them. Just because the waitress doesn’t know that fancy drink you’re asking for, doesn’t mean she won’t spit in your food as you snub her to your friends. Get some manners, or order room service.

Don’t ask people what communism was like – and don’t pretend to understand it.
I’ve lived in a former soviet bloc country for 5 years. One which still has loads of red tape. I’ve been accepted into a few families and have learned many things about communism – but I would never presume to “understand” what it was like. Which means some fool who just stepped off a plane shouldn’t bring it up either, unless a native brings it up first.

Don’t mention the Nazis when traveling through Germany.
Most Europeans still trash the Germans for the Nazis and they still toss words like Gestapo around – but not in Germany. Don’t be an idiot. If I need to explain this one in detail, you’re one of the Americans who ought to stay home.

Don’t get into political arguments.
Whether you agree or disagree with American politics, don’t get into it with the locals. Even if you agree with them, all this does is attract loads of attention, and it serves no purpose. And, to be frank, Europeans probably know more about American politics than the average American tourist – so you stand a good chance of being made a fool of, anyway.

Don’t "educate" people.
Really. Don’t try to explain life and other complexities to the locals. They’re usually pretty educated and take school pretty seriously, even at a young age. Odds are, they’re better read and better educated than most of you, so don’t talk to them like you’re addressing the deaf, dumb and blind kid, ok? Cos most of you just come off as condescending, whether you mean to, or not.

Don’t talk about how much better something is in America.
I hear this one constantly. It’s obnoxious. It’s rude. And it’s very, very American. Yes, some things are better in the USA, and, believe it or not, some things are better in Europe. If you prefer the US, go home – Europe will be ok without you.
--
Obviously, this doesn’t apply to ALL Americans. It does, however, apply to most. And, of course, it’s not just Americans – the Brits do it too, but they're far more subtle about it. At any rate, this kind of behavior does not reflect well on Americans, and is particularly annoying for those who actually live overseas, cos we get stuck having to assure the locals that not all Americans are so incredibly inept.

Godfather - The legend Continues

Another good Indo-Pak movie which is a big hit in Pakistan and now a days is showing in UK cinemas. Bhatti, who has financed and acted in the film Godfather, The Legend Continues, claims to be a hotelier — a partner in Hotel Ramada Inn in Dubai. Aslam Bhatti, an alleged gold and drugs smuggler from Pakistan, is based in Dubai.

The film has a huge star cast from India, Pakistan, Bulgaria and Dubai. Bhatti is playing a negative role in the film and has been given the look of a don.
The film stars Vinod Khanna, Arbaaz Khan, Hrishita Bhatt, Nafisa Ali, Preeti Jhangiani, Amrita Arora. Kim Sharma has done an item number in the film.
Stalwarts from Pakistan like Shafquat Chima, Ajab Gul and Mehmood Akhtar represent the Pakistani film industry.

Here is the synopsis of the film
A thriller focusing on the rise of a group of influential and powerful gangsters.
Ali is a shepherd who has shouldered responsibility of fending for his family, including his parents Farid and Faatima, and his younger sister Nahid. One fateful day he ends up saving Abdullah Khan's (the underworld gangster) life.
As a result, Abdullah's rival, Khalid eliminates Ali's family brutally. A repentant Abdullah adopts Ali and Nahid. Abdullah's wife, Salima Begum, welcomes Ali and Nahid whole-heartedly.
But these youngsters are resented by Shaakir, Abdullah's son, who feels that Ali is getting more attention and love than him. Meanwhile, Ali soon realises that power is everything in this world and so joins Abdullah in his business.
Under the love and care of Abdullah he grows to be a heroic but feared force. He may be ruthless in his dealings but always has great compassion.
As Ali becomes the new face of Abdullah Khan's vast empire and a champion of the needy, Shaakir becomes more resentful. When Abdullah announces Ali as his heir, Shaakir becomes furious. The conflict between father and son results in Abdullah's death.
As the shattered family comes to terms with their loss, an angry Ali warns Shaakir to leave the country. What follows next is a gripping and fast paced thriller of emotions - love, honesty, loyalty, betrayal - with twists and turns till the final scenes.

Google Pakistan, fix your Punjabi

I just found that Google has a Google Pakistan site, and it offers English, Urdu and Punjabi language. The Urdu portion works properly and uses the correct arabic script/fonts but the Punjabi script is actually incorrect. I suppose this is a bit of a cultural faux pas on Googles part, although I can't really blame them for the honest mistake. It's not easy to understand the intricacies of other cultures and languages, especially in this case. The problem is that Google.com.pk displays Punjabi in the Gurmukhi script, when it should actually be in the Arabic script. Gurmukhi is the script used for the Punjabi language in India, but Arabic script is used in Pakistan. The difference is quite severe, I can read arabic script but can't read a single thing in Gurmukhi. Anyways, the point is, Google.com.pk needs to change the script for Punjabi over to arabic. Incidentally, almost 60% of the Pakistani population is Punjabi speaking.

ObHistoryLesson> The image to the left shows a sufi saints tomb in Jalalpur Sharif, Punjab, Pakistan. Jalalpur Sharif is also the location where Alexander fought with the leader of the area, Porus. Alexandars famous horse, Bucephalus is also buried nearby. [more historial info] Oh, and they use arabic script for Punjabi in Jalalpur Sharif. ;)

Al Jazeera Urdu for PAKISTAN

Al Jazeera Urdu is a forthcoming channel from Al Jazeera. An Urdu language version catering mainly to Pakistan. It is offered as part of the ARY Digital Network.
Al Jazeera English has stated objectives of emphasizing news from the developing world, of "reversing the North to South flow of information" and of "setting the news agenda". The latter is the channel's main slogan. Some observers, including media scholar Adel Iskandar, have commented that this focus can be seen, in the eyes of Western viewers, as casting Al Jazeera English as a global "alternative" news network, though the entire Al Jazeera brand has been heavily mainstreamed in many parts of the world.Other Al Jazeera English slogans and catchphrases include: "EVERY ANGLE EVERY SIDE", "ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME", "fearless journalism" and "If it's newsworthy, it gets on air, whether it's Bush or Bin Laden." Al Jazeera's Code of Ethics mirrors some of these statements.

First Pakistani Muslim women in British Parliment

Sayeeda Warsi, who has become shadow minister for community cohesion, is thought to be the first Muslim to reach such a prominent position in British politics.
Although not well known to the public, she has a high profile among David Cameron's Conservatives.
Having served as a special adviser on community relations to previous leader Michael Howard, she has been a vice-chairman of the party since 2005.
In 2004, she gave up her job as a solicitor - and a £130,000 annual salary - to stand for Parliament in her home town of Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
She lost to Labour's Shahid Malik, but will now be given a peerage to enable her to enter the shadow cabinet.
Ms Warsi - who is married with a daughter - says her admiration for Conservative principles is inspired by the example of her father, who made his way from working in a mill to running a £2m-a-year bed manufacturing firm.
She is fluent in Punjabi, Urdu and Gujarati, and Mr Cameron will be hoping Ms Warsi can reach out to communities with low levels of Tory support.
Ms Warsi has, however, been quite outspoken in her views. She has criticised state schools for offering "too politically correct" a curriculum.
She is also against all-women shortlists for Tory parliamentary candidates.
During her career, the 36-year-old has worked with Pakistan's Ministry of Law on a project to fight forced marriage.
She told the BBC News website in 2005: "There has been a terrible myth created that it's an Asian issue, worse still, a Muslim issue. There is no place for it, certainly in Islam."
Educated at Leeds University, she describes herself as a "Northern, working-class roots, urban working mum" and says the Tories have a "real commitment" to engaging "with real people".
Her new job will give Ms Warsi the chance to do just that.

HIJAB as a part of UNIFORM

London Metropolitan Police accepted hijab as a part of Police uniform, optional for Muslim women who are serving in the police force.The announcement was made in a conference in London, whose theme is “Protect and Respect: Everybody’s Benefit”.
This move is the sign of accepting Britain as a religiously diverse society where different faith related accommodations are consider for individuals.
Constable Maha Sukkar is the first Victoria Police officer to wear a traditional Muslim hijab as part of her uniform. The navy, lightweight hijab, specifically designed for Constable Sukkar, has Velcro to enable its release should she get caught in a physical scuffle
Along with this IKEA also launches his own-brand hijab - a Muslim head scarf- for its Muslim staff.

KHUDA KE LIYE - In the name of GOD

I am not fond of Pakistani movies but sometime out of the industry people make some very good movies which are worth to watch.The Film KHUDA KE LIYE - In the name of GOD is also one of them.The director of this movie is Shoaib Mansoor which is one of the best creative personality in Pakistan in the field of media.
Here is the synopsis of the movie from the original website of KHUDA KE LIYE - In the name of GOD
The film is about the difficult situation in which Pakistanis in particular and the Muslims in general are caught up since 9/11.There is a war going on between the fundamentalist and the liberal Muslims.This situation is creating a drift not only between the Western world and the Muslims but also within the Muslim community.The educated and modern Muslims are in difficult situation because of their approach towards life and their western attire.They are criticized and harassed by the fundamentalist and the other hand the western world sees them as potential suspects of terrorism just because of their Muslim names.This paradox is resulting in great suffering for a forward looking Muslim.

This is the theme of the film " KHUDA KE LIYE" which in English means " IN THE NAME OF GOD".

The interesting thing about the film is how it connects the happenings in the three continents.Unlike the usual Indian and Pakistani films based on romantic sagas, dances and songs, the film is based on some very serious issues, raising a lot of controversial questions engaging the Muslim minds these days.It helps the Muslims youth find a direction.... the right direction, which we all are looking towards.
The cast of this movie is mainly from Pakistan in which Shan and Iman Ali are in lead role, from India Nsseeruddin Shah and first time from Hollywood Austin Marie Sayre.

The songs of this movie is also brilliant specially this song "BUNDEYA"

logo for 2012 London Olympics, A shame

At last after one year's effort and the expense of £ 400,000 the official logo of 2012 London Olympics was revealed yesterday.But what came out was really a shock for Londoners and soon it converted into world shock.London is famous for designing and people from all over the world come here to study designing and graphics, but after seeing this logo lot of students change their mind and thinking to go somewhere else to complete their studies.Everybody is trying to understand that what on earth is this supposed to be? Its totally a rubbish design, and the sad thing is this that £ 400,000 tax payers money is spent on this absolutely awkward design.Its an embarrassment for London design industry.Even Sir Alen sugar's apprentice can design better thing than this.

The Spokesman for the RNIB said; "We think it looks amazing".

We should demand a public enquiry into what is a misuse of public funds and giving statement like "We think it looks amazing".Congratulations on wasting £400.000.

Public Warning: Please don't try to appraoch Olympic Logo designer, this can be dangerous for you.

Have you ever Push the TRAIN ??

In third world its daily routine to push the cars early in the morning, most of the time it happens with you when you are ready to go to office or in other hurry and when you leave the home, you just see your neighbour struggling with his car to start it and as soon as he sees you he calls you that please come here and push the car so he can start it, you have no choice other than to say yes, because its your neighbour and its your moral duty to help the neighbours in problem, so you put your bag on the road and give him fake smile and start pushing the car and if you are lucky enough you get help from school going kids who feel very happy to participate in this daily exercise, if the matter is only with car, than its fine, but think about this that if you are sitting in the train and train suddenly stop and the driver ask you to push the train, than what you will do ? its happened in India in the state of Bihar when one passenger pulled the emergency chord and the train stop but when driver again start the train, it refused to go ahead because its stop in the neutral-zone (a small section where there is no electrical current) and so train cant be start.Normally trains have enough momentum to pass through this zone without power but in this case train stop exact in the neutral zone, so the driver ask the passengers to get out from the train and push it remaining 12 feet so it can reach the power zone.The train took half an hour to travel on these 12 feet.

Fake GOOGLEs are in

Every body have listen this term that " FAKE IT IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT " , most of us just smile on this , but there are people who not only smile but actually act on it, yes Goggle got this problem.
According to Google a Dutchman Marcel van der Werf is using the word Google in his website addresses which is not according to law and he is preparing to take this matter in court.But the Dutchman says that according to his knowledge a brand can be related to a product not with the word.So there is a War of the Words.
some of the domains which use the word Google like Googledatingsite.nl, Googleonlineshop.com, Googlecommunity.nl and Googlestore.nl. were prevously hosted from the United Kingdom.But now UK have closed these sites and the owner move the sites to Russian Servers where he is safe from Americans.
I think i should also start sites like Yahoosoody, Yahooshops, Yahooauctions and make some fortune and if problem come than i will move the sites to Russia too, to be safe and sound.Good idea han.

Few months ago a big retailer announced that its going to dump the VCR , then another company announced to dump the camera films and now currys announce to stop selling of cassette tape as its no longer worth to display in shelfs, because no one is buying it anymore and world is moving forward to digital devices.
The world is moving so fast that some time you think that you can't cope the advancement in technologies.The old devices of now a days was technological breakthrough of sixties and eighties.Some lazy buggers don't even start enjoying the old gadgets that new gadgets come and old become obsolete and they are just looking the fast pace world.I don't even know about PS1, PS2, or Nintendo or like this type of games and daily new game devices come and i am wondering that where the world is going.Its amazing, the kids of now a days are so much used to of these things that they cant even think to live without these.
Like VCR, typewriters, camera films we also have to say good bye to cassette tape too, so bye bye oldies.

Alphabet of Brooke Shields ?



Have you spotted Alphabet of Brooke Shields ?
If you live in London and you are fond of reading stuff on walls than you must see this graffiti , but there is one problem, its not only in one place, this graffiti is appearing all over London from past few weeks and who ever see this, thinking about it that what is this, what is the meaning of this, its still in mystery and people are trying to figure it out.You can see this in central London area from Tower bridge to west London area Wembley.Even there are some reports that its also appears in Netherland and Hamburg.
you can see it on these
Locations where this graffiti appears in London.
Have you seen it Londoners ?? if yes than what is your guess , what can it be ? i still didn't see it but i am seriously thinking to visit one of the place near my home.Its a true mystery and people are asking to the person that who ever is doing this tell us that what its all about.

give me £ 7 & i will take you to USA by Air

You can go to USA from UK in less than a price of two Mac Burgers or one pizza of Pizza hut.Its true, believe it or not, but one company Ryanair plans to fly to USA in less than 7 pounds.
No one understand how will they do that.Even if you go to central London from west London by cab, you need more than this.
I think passengers will have to stand up and instead of sitting so aeroplane can accommodate lot more passengers, or may be you are not allowed to take any luggage and in the luggage compartment they accommodate passengers or may be you have to travel in tail of the plane or its possible that aeroplane will run from water instead of oil.But how can they afford , my mind don't understand.

Any way we are waiting for this time, its going to be happen in 3 years and than we will enjoy our trips to US in less than £ 7. Well done Ryanair, i will be your first customer.

Beware public i am still on road


Beware public i am still on road :) almost two weeks ago i start driving car alone , at first i feel very tense but i now i am enjoying it, still i am doing mistakes but they are not dangerous enough to make my body shake , but yesterday i make big blunder, i reach on roundabout which is close to my office and i am so used to it that i don't stop on breaking lines, because i have no idea at all that cars can come from my right side on this roundabout, it is the first time when i saw a car , which suddenly approach me and the driver is a fine lady, when she saw me without stopping and she reach very close to me than she gave me a big horn, which i listen with shame and embarrassment, but when she saw the green L on my back windscreen than she smile and i hope she forgave me.
Last night i took the car first time in night and guess what ? i didn't turn on the head lights, i totally forget about the lights and when i was in small road just 10 yards away from home than one person gave me a signal with his hand and point towards the light than i suddenly realise that lights are off.
A week ago, an ambulance put me under pressure, at that day first time i dare to drive on first lane , i prefer to drive in middle lane, because if any one want to drive fast he can drive in first lane without bothering me, but the first lane adventure soon make me tense because an emergency ambulance which was actually a car and not very prominent that its an ambulance, give me dimper three or four time from behind and i don't understand why this car doing this , but when i realise, i hurriedly change my lane and gave way to ambulance car and he cross me like arrow. I am still get tense when i change lanes in highways.
I am lucky enough that police don't see my driving yet, i came across two or three times near police cars , but whenever i see police cars i act like that i am an old experienced driver :) oh yes i also lost yesterday on roads and the place where i have to reach, suddenly disappear from maps and i have to search the whole area but at last i found my place and it was also a fun.
The good thing is this that i am a good sense able driver and i am not doing big mistakes which my other friend did when they start first driving.

Richest man of UK

May be you think that i am going to talk about myself, but you are wrong, i wish you are not, but dreams are dreams, which we can see and be happy for a while because the realities are stranger than fictions.Any way i am going to talk about the Sunday Times list of richest man of UK, according to this ,Lakshmi Mittal - a steel tycoon - an Asian bloke who accumulate more than 19 billion sterling pounds is the richest man of UK. Great fortune hummm!
I have often observe and think that when we Asians are in our home countries we are not as much successful as we are in our new countries, why , what are the reasons, why the same businessman when he do the same business in his home country he is not much successful as compare to the achievement he get in his new land, may be its due to red tape policy or corruption is the basic factor or may be the opportunities are less in our back home ?? Any way what ever is the reason, we are doing very good in west.The second biggest cash and carry of England is belong to Sir Anwar Pervez a Pakistani guy , Lakshmi Mittal is Indian and there are lot lot other examples which one can give and tell you the success stories of Asians which were nothing in their home land but in west they make fortunes.

Is this place always tidy like this ??

Today in my office my manager remind me of my school days by saying this that a very important client is going to visit our office soon and the boss order him to clean and tidy the work place as much as you can so we can impress our client. So he grab hover and start hovering and ask my other colleague to clean the work tables and my duty is to arranging the things, i am quite good in arranging things in artistic way and hiding the clutter in such a way that place look very wide, bright and tidy.We all are laughing that it looks like a inspection team is coming and we have to clean the school in such a way that every thing will look great.
Any way we did spend around half an hour and make our office brand new by small small changes.When the client arrive he met boss and when technical meeting finish boss took him to our area to show him the full building, Before leaving our workplace the client ask the boss that is this place always tidy like this ? because we make it so clean and tidy that it look fake :) than our sales manager start smiling and boss hurriedly said, oh yes! and when he leave we all start laughing that our efforts work and and he think that we are always like this.

Moral of the story : If its too good to be true , its not true

When Wealth comes, It comes in Abundance

When wealth comes, it comes in abundance, you might have heard this thing before, but i am going to witness this thing in a small level.Two of my friends who are also brothers will have to get four company maintained cars in one week, they already possess their own cars, so now with in next seven days they will have keys of six different cars.
The story is this that they are good sales-men and they applied in two different companies and both companies employed them and now they are going to work in two different companies simultaneously. You may be think that how can they will manage two jobs at a time without telling their managers.In both jobs they don't have to go office daily and all the reports which they have to send is via text and e-mails.Because they are sharp enough to sell products and make clients in less time, so they work half time on one job and half on other and meet their daily targets and send reports to their respective managers side by side. They have to work extra hours to meet targets , but they will manage it, i know. The companies are not only give them cars, but also mobiles, palmtops and sat nev.So all these gadgets are now in their pockets and some time they don't know which mobile is ringing :)
They will get basic salaries plus commissions and all other facilities.Due to two jobs at a time, sometime very funny situation arise and they have to deal it very tactfully, like now a days both companies have arranged trainings for almost a week, where they have to stay all seven days in hotel and get training, but they skip one training this time, by some excuses and attend another training.The good thing about these companies are this that they don't bother if you meet their targets and this thing is in favour of these guys.I also got chance to get these jobs, but i can't handle this much hustle, i am happy in my designing stuff, i am lazy bugger who like to deal with art and graphics in nice and quite environment.Wish you best of luck guys, lets see for how long you can manage this circus. My prays are with you, because now we can use six cars and have lot of fun on company expenses, petrol is also from company ;)

Mike Tyson to dance to Bollywood tune

You can see Mike Tyson , the youngest heavyweight boxing champion , dance on the Hindi tunes soon.Yes Tyson is working in a promotional video in a new Bollywood movie. Think about it how will he look like dancing with Indian chicks, a bull in a china shop .

Its not Tyson's first time when he face movie cameras , he already worked in Rocky balboa and appeared as a special guest star in Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles in 2001.
Tyson should start working seriously in movies , he is already bankrupt and retired from professional boxing but there is a one problem if he gets angry on film set than one of the fellow actors have to give scarifies of their ears, which can be a daunting experience, because when Tyson get angry he like to chew ears. Holyfield still looking for his lost ear which he lost during the fight when Tyson chew it.So beware Indian actors, if you have courage to live with one ear, than best of luck.

i am afraid of the time when first thing will go wrong, because the track record of Tyson shows that if any thing goes wrong than it is not only wrong, it will be real real wrong.

Surprising Memos

From the last two days in my office we got some very surprising and very astonishing memos. Yesterday when we are working in our office than suddenly our boss pop up and give memos to every one personally. In the first memo the boss offer us a little deal that anyone who want to improve his and her skills , related to our work , are welcome by the company and boss can provide us the material and place to study in our job timings. We start our work at 8:30 am , the offer is this that if we want we can study and read articles and books and can watch motivational and educational videos and listen tapes from 8:30 till 9 am, but for this we have to come on sharp 8:15 am to office and start this from 8:15 so we can total spend 45 minutes daily on this, if anyone can come even one minute late , he is not eligible to go upstairs in meeting room and study, he have to start his work on same time. Among us we four employee agreed on this and now daily we come to office before 8:15 and go directly to office kitchen , make our tea and than go to meeting room and read books over there and drink hot tea.
Today morning when i reach in office, we met our boos outside our office and he have big bag full of fruits, he gave it to me and told me that its for everyone and ask me that can i put it in kitchen , i took the fruits and put in kitchen table.

Surf baby Surf , The Sea is Yours

If you are afraid of water and can't swim than you should take lesson from this little kid , who is doing surfing in the age of two. We should know swimming, its one of the best exercise in which all of your muscle participate and you get tone body with out taking extra protein to impress people from your manly body, hummm! but this is not a sport for lazy buggers like me .

Come on why we swim , we have to surf on net, we don't have time to surf on sea , if we do sea surfing than people will demand for sand surfing in desert , than demand will increase and they will ask for air surfing and i can't do this, so its better to sit quietly in your comfort zone and eat crisps and drink coke and watch big brother type reality show.

The kid is believed to be youngest surfer on Australia' Gold coast , whenever he do surfing, everything around beach stand still. He is attracting companies who are making deals to sponsor him.he is just like a little duck in sea. Surf baby surf , the sea is yours.

I am feeling LUCKY

My biggest headache gone suddenly , i just moved from old home to new one and in this home i was scared that my be for long i can't be able to go online from my own PC and i hate to use office and libraries connection for working on my blogs and sites. My Internet provider take minimum minimum 15 days to shift the connection from one premises to another, which is annoying, because if you ask the company for new connection in the same premises than with in four five days they can give you connection on your required time and date, but for shifting the connection you are in trouble, this time the company give you time and date and you have to run from office on the specific time - not specific time even, they give you time like this that between 1 pm to 4 pm , with in you have to be in home, other wise wait for more fifteen days - not good , but what you can do, you have to listen, i am happy because in this home i have no intention to live more than one month because i am looking for more better place to hire , so i cant even get Internet with in next 15 days and this give me nightmares that how can i am away from net for around one and half month , but as soon as i plug in my computer in my new place, it detects wireless networks with speed of 1 MB and now i am enjoying the very good speed without even knowing that from which home this network is operate and i don't even need passwords, this is not security protected network, so i am surfing on net and writing this post in hurry, because i have no idea about this person net habit, it can be open for all night and it can be shut down with in minutes , i have to do spying duty for some days too, i want to know the timings of this person that when he usually come and go so with in this time i can finish my work and rest of the time enjoy TV.
right now i am not sitting on chair and i am working on knee down position because my chair is still in old home and i will collect it tomorrow.I am tired in this position and want to finish this post, so c u tomorrow.

Invisibility Clock - like to be a Hollow man ?

Daily scientist do something new, now they get the secret of invisibility clock and have come with a workable design for an invisibility clock, same type of clock which you have seen in Harry Potter's movie, if not than watch and get an idea that what we are talking about.
Last year physicist figured out the very complex mathematical equations by which they can make things invisible by bending the light around them.
At Purdue University, Indiana, USA , a group of engineers have used those calculations to make a device which may be one day ,able them to disappear a giants like aeroplanes.
Everything have good and bad effects , for army personal its fine, they can hide their self from night vision goggles and can deceive laser lights, which is used to illuminate surface to see things, but if the same device crooks got than what happened , they can use it very negatively, hummm ! let me think what i can do with this, mmmm , if i got this device the first thing which i will do, i will not tell you , now i stop writing and start thinking about the negative use of it, so its better to not think about it, it will lead us to bad things. So its better that only government can have access to these type of things , i know governments also used this for spying to other countries, but what we can do.

Talking CCTV, Big Brother Gone mad

Now council worker in UK not only see you, but will even shout on you, thanks to talking CCTV, if you are making any mess around, not with litter only, but if you are doing vandalism, anti social behaviour, any thing which make life difficult for public, will be not tolerated and you have to order by operators to stop from this direct from control rooms.They can communicate directly with you.
This talking CCTV scheme is going to be expand around whole United kingdom. Currently this scheme is going successfully in Middlesbrough to stop vandals and tell litter criminals to pick their garbage and throw in proper place. Nice scheme , some people don't like it , but government is determined to make it successful in all over the country.
There is a competition in schools in different areas to get the voice which will talk with people.I wish i am in school.

Alone on road! Scarry version

haaaa! at last this day come in my life,for which i am waiting from the last so many years, today i drove to my work alone, yes its me and my God alone, no one else, no instructors, no thick teachers, no friends, no one for my protection, the truth is mostly for the public protection, because my friends declared me a Road risk and give my name to authorities to put it in dangerous drivers list,and all of them refuse to sit with me, with some excuses, some said that they are still unmarried, some said that they don't see Michale Jackson yet, some said that they are not in a hurry to see the God soon, some said that they don't have life insurance, some said they are bound by the promise which they have with their mothers that they will not risk their lives.They all are coward, hunn!

But despite public protest and anger i took the car alone and drove it.Some good fun was there, like on petrol pump, at first i couldn't find the dispenser for petrol, before leaving home i ask my friend that what petrol my car use, he told me that unleaded, which i listen U-leaded, but when i reach petrol pump i couldn't find petrol over there, just diesel, un-leaded and one more thing, i start cursing to pump owner that he have petrol pump but their is no petrol, only UN-leaded and diesel, not even U-leaded, then i saw one Asian bloke and ask him that my car run from petrol , but look there is no petrol, first he look at me suspiciously, but after full gaze , he realise that i am not drunk and not goof even,so he told me that un-leaded is petrol, so i fill the tank as much i can with this fear that may be again i can't find petrol and if no body will be there than what happens, so its better to full it right now.
Now the journey starts,every thing is going smooth than suddenly i discover new thing, a sainsbury parking space,one of my friend who have stomach of steel agree to sit with me and have requested to me to drop him some where, he came to see my friend who is very ill, i was going to Ealing to drop my friend than i took a small left turn, which in my knowledge is shortcut, but this short cut introduced me a new world, sainsburry parking, i was shocked, coz suddenly road was finished and there was a dead end, i was thinking that what is this, where is road gone, how can i reach here, now what i will do,there was no way return for newbie like me, the road goes directly to underground parking and you have no option either to go inside or reverse you car, coz in front there is big foot path and my car wheels are not big enough, nor i have stamina for this adventure, i hate to reverse the car, but i start reversing, than i realised that i can turn my car full and make it straight and can drive in respect full way, so i turn the car and than again catch the road and drop my friend.Before leaving home, i throw red L and stick green L on my front and back wind screens so i got some help from experienced driver, i make some other mistakes too but they are not very serious.
Now i am in home and very tired due to this new experience, my muscle and nerves was very tense during driving so i am feeling tiredness,so after this i will eat my dinner and than watch Prison break that what Michael Scofield and sarah are doing there and what new twist will come today.

Is America Poor ? hummmm!


Those who daily commute to London, central London are very familiar with this sign, because this sign remind them that this area of London is very congested and polluted , and if you don't want to travel by bus and tubes and still want to enter in it in your own vehicle and make it more polluted than you have to pay some charges for this contribution in order to reduce this pollution and congestion.
London is divided between 6 zones and mostly congestion charge area is consist of zone 1 where all embassies and consulates are located, which is also called central London.Due to this congestion charges a diplomatic conflict is arise between different embassies and Mayor of London.The leader of all these is American Embassy, American diplomats refuse to pay congestion charges by saying it is a tax. A basic diplomatic rule is that one country cannot tax another country, so they are not liable to pay any form of taxes.Therefore till now Americans allegedly owe almost US $2-million in charges and fines which they have to pay to London.
Now French embassy also refuses to pay and start backing Americans on their stand, because their area also come under congestion earlier this year when congestion area is expanded. The very interesting thing is this that most of the rich nations refused to pay but mostly African nations which are far more poorer than these big guys are happily paying like good citizen and respect the law of the host nation.The question is this that why Americans refused to pay, are they poor enough or their ego is hurt by this. Still problem is there, and Mayor of London is determined to get the charges from diplomats.

You are under SURVEILLENCE

If you are walking alone on street and you are thinking that no one is looking at you, than you are wrong, there are eyes and ears which are constantly monitoring you and your all life is like Jim Carry's movie Truman Show, in which all his life is broadcast via cameras and he don't even know about this.This thing is already start in our life too, daily by hundred different means we are constantly under surveillance by authorities and by companies also.I was reading a article written by Michael Hanlon in Daily Mail in which he explain in detail that how our activities are monitoring by companies and how to avoid these and stay invisible. Below is the briefing of this article.
Today life in west is almost impossible without cards, your plastic money. So what to do to hide from Big Brothers eyes.Here are some tips.

1) Don't give your personal details , unless its mandatory.No need to give your name and address, if you buy a microwave, its not for guarantee, its for company data base and may be sold to others.

2) Customer satisfaction surveys.No no, they are not for your satisfaction, they are using to get valuable marketing information.Don't fill it.

3) Cash is good to use instead of cards, you know Why? because companies spent millions of dollars on software just to get the data from debit cards and credits to reveal your spending habits.Every time when you buy something from card you leave a trail of information to track.

4) Throw away your supermarket 'loyalty cards' , don't go for small rewards which are nothing in returns what they get - your probable income, spending habits, your family size and social class.

5) Halt your travel if your really want to invisible. Modern border controls databases get all your info that where and when you are going and coming.

6) Your mobile phone is a Global Positioning System to track you. Mobile phones constantly emit signals through which your network operators can-and do-tracking about you that at what time where you were, which route you use.

7) Computers, turn it off when you are not near it, install good antivirus and anti spywares or protect your computers with firewalls, just secure it ,any one can get your info from it, if any hacker hack it or spywares attack your pc, than your passwords or bank details easily go to someone else hand, because spywares search your hard drive for info.

8) Don't register on Internet sites without knowing it that its secure or authentic site or not.

9) Explain you children that never ever register their-selves on sites without your knowledge, children have tendency to say truth so they can pass information to wrong hands.

10) Don't say truth, lie , in the case if you are bombarded with request for personal details from people who have no good reason to ask for this.

11) Cold callers are also in this race. Don't respond to them, either on door or on the phone, just hang up or tell them gently, they are on their job.

12) CCTVs, do you have any idea that how many are these. Some 4.2 million CCTVs have been set up in most cities and towns of UK. They are setup by councils and by police.CCTV is largely unregulated, although its use must comply with the 1998 Data Protection Act.You have no automatic rights to see the footage unless you can prove that you are the main focus of these.

13) Congratulation, you have been selected - you have won the lottery, have you ever receive these type of letters ? don't pay attention on them unless you are sure of their authenticity, they are often attempts to gather data used to sold to mailing companies.Bin these letters.

There is no doubt our life is not our life any more, more and more we are going to advances in technology, more and more our privacy is invaded by companies and governments.
