Fresh Air Fund: Give smile to children
I have received an email from Fresh air fund to write a post about there organization and there cause .
Fresh Air Fund is an independent, not-for-profit agency that provides free summer vacations to New York City children from low-income communities.
Nearly 10,000 New York City children benefit from this fund.
Since 1877 more than 1.7 million children benefited from this fund.

This Fund has received donations from Carnegie Corporation.

This concept of vacation and holiday, a concept of fund has been started by
The Reverend Willard Parsons, minister of a small rural parish in Sherman, Pennsylvania in the year 1877.
Since then this fund is helping more and more New York City boys and girls between ages
Six to eighteen.



In 2008, close to 5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. 3,000 children also attended five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, New York. The Fund’s year-round camping program serves an additional 2,000 young people each year.
The good thing about this programme is that host families are not paid, they do it willingly.

In this period of recession, still you want to help someone I will say just help kids
For fun, food and education.
Once a childhood is lost how much money you spend it will not come back
So make a child smile, give a child smile.

American Dominance :President Obama : Playing with the words ?

American Dominance :President Obama : Playing with the words ?
Never before this has happened .
Just think today they are doing sweet talking ,I my self feel that this sweet talking is equal to our Indian politicians saying that “ Hame Garibi Hatani Hai “ in English in translates as “ we have to remove poverty from India “ From last fifty years we Indians are hearing this from our politicians without working towards it .Other examples are electricity and clean water .
So like this just President Obama is doing sweet talking with Arab world .
sweet talking is dangerous for Indian citizens as well as American citizens .



Do you think Mr.Obama can go to Iran or other This Muslim countries and talk about female liberation ,education, and freedoms .
The speeches which he is currently giving just send a message that America will not interfere in the matters of Islam religion .
Obama before elections said that he will be very strict with the fund giving policy to Pakistan ,Those were the just words and now in reality we are seeing that Pakistan is still successfully black mailing USA .and getting funds from Obama administration
If I am wrong in the above statement I will be happier .What you think about that ?
Pakistan politicians have already said that terror organizations are mutual creation of America and Pakistan .
It’s very difficult to understand Muslim world and Muslim people of Iran ,Iraq, and other places ,there anger ,there frustration .
These speeches are sending message to American as well as Indian Muslim world also that
America will not interfere into there religious crimes or religious matters which may be against gender equality or education or other problems.
This will give rise to the Hindu Talibani organizations to become more active. The Muslim organizations will start to demand that American courts must follow Muslim law .like triple divorce on mobile etc .
This issue is more complicated ,just think what will happen when Muslim world will come to know that promises made by Mr. Obama are just promises.
After American terror attack ,President Bush acted rightfully and saw that there is no another attack on the America by terror organizations .
India has seen many terror attacks and our politicians how behaved and are dealing with this problem , we all know it same policy is used by President Obama ,sweet talking .
If this policy works then what is reason India is facing terror attacks one after another .
President Bush has created fear in the minds of terror organizations successfully but the speeches will remove that fear and this will encourage these terror organizations to attack USA 2nd time in the big way .
This time they will strike so heavily I can not explain it in words ,you can imagine it .
This is reason this sweet talking of President is very dangerous for American as well as Indian citizens .
Our friend Rambler has correctly said ,” Obama is a really good speaker. But will he match action with words, only time will tell...”
I agree with Bk also that he is trying to improve his popularity ,he will see that popularity is increasing but the day Muslim world knows that he had failed them what will happen .
To earn trust and credit one has to do hard work and social service for years but to lose that credit and respect just 1 second is enough .
There is more pain when one sees that promise is broken ,confidence is lost .
About Iraq problem I will say America won the Iraq but failed to show results .
About laden he is hiding ,he is not able to attack America 2nd time .
Whose policy is responsible for this ?
What would have happen if President Bush have not attacked but just have done sweet talking like Indian politicians .
To curb crime and terror sweet talking is not required ,it needs action and positive strict action .
We just hope that words and speeches result into actions .
These actions can be good for world or can be bad for the world .
These actions can help create democratic Muslim world or religious Muslim world .
These actions can help create Global Peace .

USA: Is this End of American Dominance

USA: Is this End of American Dominance

Once it was said and believed that what American president says is the last word.
Every nation leader directly or indirectly obeyed to American president .That legacy was
Carried forward by Clinton, then Bush .But after today’s speech Of Mr. Osama , it does not carry forward this legacy of American President when he spoke in Cairo.

I felt that a weak president is talking to Muslim world.
Few lines from President Obamas speech
““I know there has been controversy about the promotion of democracy in recent years, and much of this controversy is connected to the war in Iraq. So let me be clear: no system of government can or should be imposed upon one nation by any other."



If America wont help establish democracy then who will do that.
Is it open invitation to Taliban and al quida that “Please you stop hurting American people and we won’t stop you from hurting other nations or communities?
Let’s make a peace contract “

After this apology don’t you think al quida and Taliban will feel that they have defeated America and won’t it encourage other people to join these terror organizations?

President Obama supported Israel but the fact is that Israel and America need each other
Like a fish and water.

We just hope that President Obamas this speech won’t encourage other people to join these terror organizations.

India : Know about the Rajya Sabha ,The Upper House
Rajya Sabha The upper house of the parliament of India.

Maximum number of upper house members is only 250 which are half of the Lok Sabha that is the lower house.

The president of India has a right to appoint 12 members; nominated members to Rajya Sabha .The remaining members of the upper house are elected by state and territorial legislatures.
Here also we know that President is indirectly controlled by the Prime Minister of India.

Members are elected by the Legislative Assembly of Each State. Seats are fixed for each state on the basis of its population, and not equality.
Here I always feel that India should have maintained principal of equality because India is a country where no body cares about population problem.

The Council of States was set up under the Constitution on 3April 1952.


The first session of Rajya Sabha was held on 13 May 1952.
On 23 August 1954, the Chairman, Rajya Sabha made an announcement in the House that the Council of States would now be called Rajya Sabha.
Dr. S.Radhakrishnan was the first Chairman of Rajya Sabha. (13.5.1952-12.5.1962)
Rajya Sabha is not subject to dissolution; one-third of its members retire every two years.
Normally a member is elected for six years; but a member elected against a mid-term vacancy, serves only for the remaining period.

Out of this 34 free air journeys, spouse or companion of a Member is entitled to travel alone up to a maximum of 8 air journeys a year to visit such Member. However, where the number of journeys performed by any Member by air in a year is less than 34, the balance number of journeys not availed by him/her shall be carried forward to the following year.
Air journeys performed in excess of 34 in a year, subject to a maximum of eight may be adjusted from the 34 air journeys available for the next following year.
