Indian Prime Minister House and Parliament House Prove Themselves Anti-Green

The electricity consumption bills for the years 2007-2009 for the Indian Prime Minister, Mr. Manmohan Singh’s New Delhi Residence, show a hefty amount that increased every year.

In 2007, it was about $26,808, and grew to $107,201 in 2008 and $248,130 in 2009. Similarly, those of the parliament house in New Delhi, the capital of India housing the central ministers, increased during that time from $1,691,489 in 2007, to $1,810,638 in 2009. The information was collected by RTI (Right to Information) activist Chetan Kothari, a resident of Mumbai, the financial capital of India.

RTI is a new act passed by Government of India (GoI) empowering any citizen of India to request any sort of information. The act has its own merits and demerits, in my opinion. On one hand, it has given power to the common man in India to seek information of any sort, but on the other hand, the most active RTI activists in the country are being attacked by the mafias fearing the exposure of large-scale malpractices being done behind the scenes. The mafias include many Members of Parliament, top level administrators and other powerful but unlawful entities in the country.

Coming back to Prime Minister House and the Parliament, it is very clearly visible that the Government of India lacks the courage of ‘Walk the Walk’. On one hand, the common man is facing huge power cuts in most parts of the country, and on the other hand, there is a tremendous increase in the power consumption in the top government offices. Do we need to declare to the world that we are ‘going green’ or is the world is going to believe what is clearly visible with the naked eye?

Ten Tips for Making Sex Extra Special | Socyberty

Sex is a natural phenomenon. There is no standard posture, methodology, process or procedure to perform it. It is a unique feature for each individual. Strive for the best though but don’t do it half heartedly or when not in mood.

1. Don’t go for a fixed format every time: There is no standard format or posture for making sex. Repeating the same style every time makes it more mechanical.
2. Don’t haste: Don’t be in a hurry while making sex. Play it cool and be patient. Every moment is precious and in haste you may lose those moments which never come back.

My Small But Great Experience of Paris Airport | Trifter

On my landing at Paris Airport, I had hardly one hour left to catch my connecting flight to Amsterdam from where I had to travel to the official capital city of Holland – The Hague. Paris airport is very huge and from the terminal I landed at was far away from the terminal from where I had to catch my next flight.

It was not possible to catch the stipulated flight. The problem was solved in less than 15 minutes when I asked the helpdesk counter of Air France. I was told not to worry as every half an hour there is a flight to Amsterdam from Paris. So I decided to sit at Airport Lounge Restaurant for a while and take a flight after 2 hours.

My First Encounter with Gps in Holland in 2005 December | Trifter

That was my first visit to any European Country – a beautiful city and official capital of Holland also know as Netherlands – Den Haag or The Hague. It is also a place of rich cultural heritage of Holland. After landing at Amsterdam Airport I took a taxi to reach to my hotel, checked in and had some rest. At night I decided to go for dinner outside my hotel. I hired a taxi to check out a good food joint for dinner. I was a bit worried to reach back to my hotel after dinner without any glitches. I had a few options to perform this task. One was to ask people on my way out to be guided or misguided – and end up at a messy place not of my choice.
